Boletín de tendencias en la Investigación de la Facultad de Psicología

Abstract

This is the second Research Trends Bulletin from the Faculty of Psychology, which aims to document the research trends proposed and developed by the students who participated in the academic course Quantitative Methods II, corresponding to groups 4A and 4B during the first semester of 2025. This product is established as a non-specialized editorial publication (typology 2.2.3.4.2.1.1), aimed at contributing to the construction of a research memory within the Psychology program. It allows for the observation of thematic evolution and methodological approaches that students undertake throughout the semesters.

Each of the reviews presented here represents the culmination of a process of addressing a problem—from a general to a specific approach—with its identification and definition, starting from primary sources through direct contact with real-life contexts. Subsequently, a theoretical review was carried out based on categories specific to the field of psychology, proposing a quantitative approach to highlight significant relationships between the variables involved in the problem.

As a creative development, a research gap is identified and a proposal is made to study it further as the foundation for a future undergraduate thesis. Thus, the works presented here not only demonstrate methodological and critical thinking competencies, but also an advancement in scientific writing skills.

The selected topics reflect diverse and current interests, mainly organized around various populations, with children being the most predominant. From this perspective, themes such as the use of digital devices in childhood, the use of music as a tool to denounce sexual abuse, as well as interest in occupational stress and the study of emotional regulation in different identified problems, are analyzed.
