The GAD-7 is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing generalised anxiety in university students from Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Paraguay. Nationality does not introduce variability in the measure, supporting its cross-cultural applicability.
Generational differences in ethnic identity, perceived discrimination, and life satisfaction in Porongo
(2023) María Andrea Chajtur Zabala; Renzo Gismondi Diaz
Existing research across a variety of ethnic groups have explored the interplay of perceived discrimination with ethnic identity and life satisfaction. Therefore, the current aim of the study is to examine and compare the hypothesized relationship between these variables among the residents of Porongo, Bolivia. Spanish translations of the corresponding scales have been applied on 20 participants. Contrary to expectations, the results did not yield any statistically significant differences between younger adults and older adults. However, older adults scored higher across all the variables in comparison to their younger counterparts. Furthermore, a positive relation between life satisfaction with discrimination and ethnic identity was found. This finding serves as complementary information to other studies with differing results, giving an insight of the underexplored reality of Porongo. Further studies are required to explore the motives behind these results.

(2022) Renzo Gismondi Diaz
El objetivo del trabajo fue comparar el rendimiento académico entre los estudiantes de primer semestre con y sin sintomatología de inatención e hiperactividad de la Universidad Privada de Santa Cruz de la Sierra (UPSA) en el segundo semestre del año 2020. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 398 estudiantes de primer semestre de la UPSA y se utilizaron instrumentos de cribado para detectar sintomatología de inatención e hiperactividad. Los estudiantes con sintomatología obtuvieron menores promedios escolares y de matemáticas que sus pares; pero sus promedios universitarios no tuvieron diferencias significativas.

Anxiety were associated with cognitive processes related to meaning-making and hope, supporting their role as protective psychological variables. However, cultural context modulates the strength of these relationships, highlighting the need for context-sensitive interventions.
