In recent years, the exponential growth of artificial intelligence as a technological tool at the service of human beings has led to an ethical debate about its future implication. The existing instruments to evaluate attitudes towards artificial intelligence have non-specific dimensions and are designed for populations different from the Spanish-speaking. In this sense, it is necessary to have valid, reliable, and contextualized tools to evaluate people's attitudes toward the use of artificial intelligence. Therefore, the present study aimed to develop an attitudinal rating scale for artificial intelligence. There were 604 volunteer participants between 18 and 55 years of age, 311 men and 293 women. Bartlett's test of sphericity showed a significant result (approximate chi-square = 1502. 7862387833S;p <.001), and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test of sample adequacy showed an index of.825. With this, it was considered feasible to factorize the data matrix, and thanks to the factor analysis, three components explain 52.76% of the total rotated variance. In addition, a high internal consistency index was obtained for the 12 items of the inventory (0.768). These findings indicate that the EVAIA-I is a valid and reliable tool to evaluate the attitude towards artificial intelligence in Ecuador and other Latin American countries. © 2023 IEEE.

The acquisition of reading and writing is a complex and decisive process for the knowledge appropriation of children and their culturalization; similarly, the number of children who do not achieve the expected literacy level for their age and schooling is also a matter of concern. One of the explanations lies in the learning situation, which regularly develops in a classroom. Nowadays, the incorporation of new technologies that include smartphones and tablets as learning-enhancing resources is crucial. Due to the absence of contextualized tools for the Ecuadorian population, Tití application is proposed. It is focused on reducing the errors in children’s reading by solving tasks that are based on the errors determined in the literacy analysis test, TALE, in a contextualized and motivating digital scenario. The user-centered design is the basis for the construction of this tool with characteristics that are specific to Ecuador such as the use of the Spanish language in an Ecuadorian context, navigation on a map of Ecuador, and rescue of endangered endemic animals. This allows children to identify with their environment and engage in the dynamics of the tool. In the research, a repeated measures study design was applied to assess statistically significant differences between a first and second evaluation. A marked decrease in the number of errors in the elements of the TALE test can be observed. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

In psychological and sexological research, it is essential to have valid and reliable tools to evaluate various aspects of human sexuality. Sexual affections enable individual well-being and influence interpersonal relationships and social dynamics. However, these aspects of human affectivity have proven difficult to measure comprehensively due to their subjective and dynamic nature. To address this challenge, this study introduces the Sexual Affect Inventory, designed to evaluate key constructs of human sexuality: desire, attraction, and love. This cross-sectional study was validated with 465 participants aged 21 to 65, employing robust psychometric methods. Statistical analyses confirmed the reliability and validity of the inventory, including Bartlett’s test of sphericity (χ² = 17,771.693; p < .001) and a Kaiser‒Meyer‒Olkin measure of .95. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses identified three components (desire, attraction, and love), explaining 51.87% of the total variance, with Cronbach’s alpha values of .96 overall (.94, .96, and .94 for each component). The inventory stands out for integrating these dimensions into a single tool, surpassing existing scales that evaluate these constructs independently. By encompassing the interplay of sexual desire, emotional attraction, and love, the inventory advances understanding in psychological and sexological research. Its percentile-based scoring system further supports nuanced interpretation across diverse demographic contexts. This tool provides a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers by offering a comprehensive and reliable assessment of sexual affects. Its development underscores the importance of multidimensional approaches in evaluating human sexuality, bridging gaps in existing methodologies. Future research should expand its application across diverse populations and explore its utility in therapeutic settings, emphasizing its role in diagnostics and clinical interventions.

Introduction: Human sexuality is a multifaceted process, and sexual desire plays a central role in the triphasic model of the sexual response cycle, as proposed by Helen Singer Kaplan. Methods: In this cross-sectional correlational study, we examined the relationship between various sociodemographic factors, such as age and motherhood, and sexual variables, including erotophobia, erotophilia, homophobia, and unconventional sex, with hypoactive sexual desire in women from Quito, Ecuador. The study sample comprised 421 women between the ages of 18 and 50, who were administered the Revised Sexual Opinion Survey and the Inhibited Sexual Desire Scale to assess their sexual attitudes and levels of desire. Results: The findings revealed that age (F = 7.13, p < 0.001) and motherhood (F = 13.72, p < 0.001) had a significant impact on inhibited sexual desire. Furthermore, significant correlations were observed between inhibited sexual desire and age (r = 0.16, p < 0.001), motherhood (r = 0.18, p < 0.001), erotophobia (r = 0.19, p < 0.001), erotophilia (r = −0.21, p < 0.001), and homophobia (r = −0.18, p < 0.001). Discussion: These results suggest that women who are older, mothers, or have higher levels of erotophobia are more likely to experience hypoactive sexual desire. In contrast, higher levels of erotophilia and homophobia were inversely related to hypoactive sexual desire. This contributes to a deeper understanding of how different personal and sexual attitudes influence sexual desire in Ecuadorian women.

Artificial intelligence plays a leading role across various sectors, underscoring the importance of understanding the individual factors influencing their acceptance. Previous research has pointed out that variables such as age, gender, and cognitive flexibility impact attitudes toward these technologies. However, the interaction among these variables still requires further analysis. This study sought to explore the relationships between cognitive flexibility, age, gender, and attitudes toward artificial intelligence in a sample of 342 participants, with an average age of 26.80 years. Employing a descriptive-correlational design, two scales were used: one to measure cognitive flexibility and another to assess attitudes toward this technology. Due to the lack of normality in the distributions of the variables, Spearman's correlation was used for the analysis. The results show that cognitive flexibility and educational level have a positive and significant relationship with the attitude toward artificial intelligences (r = 0.245, p < 0.001 and r = 0.140, p = 0.009, respectively). On the other hand, age presents a weak negative relationship (r = -0.117, p < 0.05), while no significant relationship was observed with gender. These findings provide an initial basis for understanding individual differences in technology acceptance, although further research is needed to delve into the underlying mechanisms and evaluate other contextual factors.

Aggressive behavior remains a critical concern in contemporary society, with individuals frequently exhibiting disproportionate responses to frustration or perceived provocation. Given the social and psychological consequences of such behavior, the present study aimed to develop and validate the Aggression Tendency Evaluation Questionnaire, a brief self-report scale designed to assess individual predisposition to aggression. The instrument was applied to a sample of 740 adults (365 men, 375 women) aged 18 to 70, residing in Quito, Ecuador. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design was employed, and data were analyzed using Cronbach’s alpha, the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin measure, Bartlett’s test of sphericity, exploratory factor analysis, and Spearman’s correlation. The questionnaire demonstrated high internal consistency (α = 0.904) and a clear three-factor structure, identifying verbal-expressive aggression, social/indirect aggression, and physical-reactive aggression as distinct dimensions. Correlational analyses revealed weak but significant inverse associations between aggression tendency and variables such as age, employment status, and religious practice, suggesting these factors may serve as protective elements. Other variables, including gender, educational level, and relationship status, showed no significant associations. These results support the questionnaire as a valid and reliable tool for assessing aggression tendency in adult populations. Its psychometric robustness and ease of application make it a practical instrument for use in both research and applied psychological contexts. Further studies are recommended to confirm its factorial structure and explore its cross-cultural applicability.
