To clarify its determinants, we analyzed 409 adult individuals from three archeological and one early modern skeletal collection from the Iberian Peninsula, integrating graded sulcus expression with pelvic morphology, body size, and demographic context. Sulcus expression shows marked sexual dimorphism: females exhibit the full morphological spectrum, whereas males display limited variation and are overwhelmingly concentrated in the lowest grades. Hierarchical log-linear models and ordinal logistic regression analyses indicate that preauricular sulcus presence is not associated with stature, body mass, or overall pelvic canal dimensions. Instead, inferior pelvic dimensions, particularly pubic length and outlet measures, emerge as the only consistent morphological predictors, with significant sex-specific interactions restricted to the outlet. Neither population affiliation nor age at death modifies the association between sex and sulcus expression. Taken together, these results support a model in which the preauricular sulcus reflects sex-specific biomechanical environments of the inferior pelvis rather than overall body size or population-level variation. Within this framework, sulcus development is best interpreted as ligamentmediated remodeling shaped by localized mechanical loading and hormonally mediated changes associated with pregnancy, while remaining. 2026-02-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10259/11591 Spanish-Speaking Children’s Attitudes Toward School Science: Instrument Development and Psychometric Analysis Quílez Cervero, César; Toma, Radu Bogdan; Queiruga Dios, Miguel Ángel The current research evaluated the psychometric properties of a questionnaire measuring 1st and 2nd grad- ers’ attitudes toward school science (CASS). In Study 1, an exploratory factor analysis revealed a two-factor struc- ture, consisting of the ’enjoyableness’ and ’self-efficacy’ dimensions of school science. This analysis also provided initial evidence of satisfactory internal consistency reli- ability. In Study 2, confirmatory factor analysis showed that the two-factor model provided a better fit than a uni- dimensional structure and further supported the internal consistency reliability of the instrument. Study 3 provided strong evidence for test–retest reliability. Study 4 offered promising evidence of construct validity by identifying a positive and significant relationship between the ’enjoya- bleness’ and ’perceived self-efficacy’ in school science and leisure interest in science-related activities. Finally, Study 5 assessed the instrument’s responsiveness to an inquiry-based intervention, showing that it can effectively detect changes over time. Taken together, these findings suggest that the proposed instrument, CASS, yields scores with adequate validity and reliability, making it a reliable tool for assessing young students’ attitudes toward school science and evaluat- ing the effectiveness of educational interventions in the early elementary school years. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10259/11590 Identifying Population Groups Based on Humanity Attribution to Low‐, Middle‐ and High‐Socioeconomic Status Groups: A Multilevel Latent Profile Analysis Sainz, Mario; Martínez, Rocío; Muelas Lobato, Roberto Despite growing research on (de)humanisation in the socioeconomic domain, the extent and diversity of these tendencies withinthe population remain unclear. This study used a representative sample of Spaniards (N = 1478) to examine the existence andprevalence of distinct dehumaniser profiles at both the individual (Level 1) and societal (Level 2) levels. We conducted a multi-level latent profile analysis using humanity attribution scores for low-, middle- and high-SES groups. At the individual level, fiveprofiles emerged: high- (12%), middle- (27%) and low- (41%) generalised humanisers, high-SES dehumanisers (6%) and hierarchylegitimisers (13%). At the societal level, we identified three profiles: assimilators (52%), indifferents (7%) and unsettled (41%).Adherence to these profiles appeared to be influenced by participants' socioeconomic backgrounds or system justification andmeritocracy, with profiles differing in their demand for social change. We discuss the applied relevance of mapping dehumani-sation tendencies on the design of targeted interventions. 2026-03-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10259/11587 Promoting Mental Health Support for Adolescents and Future Health Educators Through Nursing‐Led Intervention: A University‐School‐Community Collaboration Model in Spain Alonso Martínez, Laura; San Pedro Arribas, Paula; Sánchez Gutiérrez, María Elena; Zabaleta González, Rebeca; Nieto González, Sandra; Sierra Medina, María José Objective: This study describes a nurse-led intervention aimed at improving mental health literacy (MHL), reducing stigma, andencouraging help-seeking behaviour.Design: A quasi-experimental design involved 578 responses ranging in age from 13 to 52 years (M = 20.28, SD = 6.29), includingsecondary school pupils, nursing undergraduates, and trainee secondary school teachers.Measurements: Pre- and post-intervention assessments examined a wide range of health indicators. These included six scalesassessing mental health knowledge (MHLI), mental health support intentions (MHSSA), body dissatisfaction (EBIC), eatingdisorder risk (SCOFF), problematic pornography use (PPCS-6), and health-protective sexual communication (HPSC). Theintervention focused on reducing stigma, encouraging help-seeking behaviour, and developing practical skills to support peersfacing mental health challenges.Results: Post-intervention results indicated significant improvements in MHL, attitudes, and behavioural intentions across allgroups. Adolescents initially exhibited lower baseline scores than university participants. However, both groups demonstratedsubstantial gains. The most pronounced improvements were observed among women, individuals with prior experience of mentalhealth issues, and university students.Conclusion: This study underscores the vital role of nurses as facilitators in school-based mental health promotion and in theinterdisciplinary education of future health professionals. The nurse-led mental health education into secondary and highereducation curricula foster population-wide mental well-being. 2026-05-01T00:00:00Z
