Background The associations between broad personality traits, as captured by the Big Five and related taxonomies and vocational outcomes (career maturity, career decision-making self-efficacy, vocational identity, vocational interests, and the congruence between RIASEC vocational personality and career aspirations) constitute an important field of inquiry for understanding adolescents' career development. Objective The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize the available scientific evidence (2020-2025) on these associations in adolescents, and to examine, where reported, the congruence between RIASEC vocational personality profiles and career aspirations. Methods The review followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Searches were conducted in four databases (PubMed, Scopus, EBSCO, and ERIC) using three complementary search strings, in addition to a manual search. Inclusion criteria comprised: empirical studies of adolescents aged 12-18 years (or with a mean age within this range), published between 2020 and 2025 in English or Spanish, that explicitly examined associations between personality traits assessed under the Big Five model, the HEXACO model (which shares four broad factors with the Big Five), or Holland's RIASEC vocational interests model, and at least one vocational variable (career decision-making, vocational identity, vocational interests, career choice, or career maturity). From a total of 242 records identified, 14 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. Results Conscientiousness and openness to experience are positive correlates of career maturity, career decision-making self-efficacy, and vocational identity in several, though not all, of the included studies; the strength and direction of the conscientiousness-outcome association varied across vocational outcomes and depended on which other predictors (e.g., RIASEC interests, self-efficacy) were modeled. Neuroticism (and its HEXACO counterpart, Emotionality) was consistently associated with greater decisional difficulties and lower vocational commitment. Studies that applied Holland's RIASEC model to assess vocational interests yielded mixed evidence on cross-cultural congruence: in the small number of studies available (one per cultural context), moderate congruence was observed in a collectivistic Asian sample, while low congruence was reported in a rural Latin American context. These context-specific patterns should be interpreted as preliminary, given that they rest on a single study per cultural setting. Discussion Significant gaps were identified in longitudinal studies, personality-based interventions, and evidence from Latin America. These findings underscore the value of integrating personality trait assessment into vocational guidance programs for adolescents, while acknowledging that the contribution of any single trait depends on contextual and outcome-specific factors.

Early childhood growth trajectories can influence the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood. Improvements in environmental sanitation may affect child development in low-resource settings. Objective: to examine the associations among socioeconomic factors with nutrition indicators, and trajectories of anthropometric indicators across three epidemiological cohorts that reflect different phases of environmental sanitation implementation. Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted in Salvador, Brazil, from 1997 to 2013. A total of 1429 children were recruited across three epidemiological cohorts, corresponding to the phases of a sanitation program: pre-intervention (n = 299), intervention (n = 1007), and post-intervention (n = 123). Height-for-age (HAZ) and BMI-for-age (BAZ) z-scores were assessed at four time points. Multilevel linear models were used to adjust for socioeconomic factors. Results: A total of 992 children (68.7%) completed follow-up. Post-intervention children showed improved HAZ trajectories, with sex-specific patterns that varied across cohorts. Birth weight is positively associated with HAZ across all cohorts (0.34–0.49 kg increase per z-score). Household overcrowding (>2 persons/room) is consistently associated with lower HAZ (−0.34 to −0.63 z-score reduction). Children who were never exclusively breastfed in the post-intervention phase had a higher BAZ (0.76 z-score increase). Caesarean delivery is associated with higher BAZ in the pre-intervention (0.23) and intervention (0.27) cohorts. Conclusions: Children born in later time periods showed better growth trajectories, which may reflect the combined effects of sanitation improvements, economic development, and other societal changes in Brazil during this period. Further research using experimental or quasi-experimental designs is needed to isolate the specific contribution of sanitation to child growth.

Introduction: School bullying has sparked considerable research interest, leading to the development of specific measures aimed at assessing both traditional bullying and cyberbullying (CB). Objective: To identify evidence of validity for the European Bullying Intervention Project Questionnaire (EBIPQ) and the European Cyberbullying Intervention Project Questionnaire (ECIPQ) in a sample of Ecuadorian adolescents. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive and psychometric study analyzing the construct validity, internal consistency, and convergent validity of both instruments. Sample: 341 adolescent students (56% female, 44% male), aged 14 to 19 years (M = 15.72; SD = 0.85), from different cities in Ecuador. Results: Oblique fit models with two dimensions per instrument provide the best factor representation. They also demonstrate adequate internal consistency across their dimensions and a high correlation between the two questionnaires. Conclusion: The EBIPQ and ECIPQ prove to be valid, reliable, and relevant instruments for measuring bullying and cyberbullying among adolescents in Ecuador.
