The purpose of this research was to amend the Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire (VMIQ; Isaac, Marks, & Russell, 1986) in line with contemporary imagery modality and perspective conceptualizations, and to test the validity of the amended questionnaire (i.e., the VMIQ-2). Study 1 had 351 athletes complete the 3-factor (internal visual imagery, external visual imagery, and kinesthetic imagery) 24-item VMIQ-2. Following single-factor confirmatory factor analyses and item deletion, a 12-item version was subject to correlated traits / correlated uniqueness (CTCU) analysis. An acceptable fit was revealed. Study 2 used a different sample of 355 athletes. The CTCU analysis confirmed the factorial validity of the 12-item VMIQ-2. In Study 3, the concurrent and construct validity of the VMIQ-2 was supported. Taken together, the results of the 3 studies provide preliminary support for the revised VMIQ-2 as a psychometrically valid questionnaire.

Movement Imagery Ability: Developmentand Assessment of a Revised Versionof the Vividness of Movement ImageryQuestionnaire

Our radical behavioral interpretation of psychotherapy leads to the unexpected conclusion that the psychotherapeutic relationship is at the core of the therapeutic process. Unexpected, we say, because others usually cast radical behaviorism in the opposite camp, one in which the therapist avoids or discounts the value of a deep, emotional therapeutic relationship. Carl Rogers, for instance, commented, “To me [Skinner’s world] would destroy the human person as I have come to know him… in relationship… in the deepest moments of psychotherapy” (1961, p. 391).

In this article we will analyze some data that demonstrate that emotional intelligence is a set of skills that teachers should learn for two reasons: (1) because classrooms are the adult socio-emotional learning model with the greatest impact for students and (2 ) because research is showing that adequate levels of emotional intelligence help to cope more successfully with everyday setbacks and work stress that teachers face in the educational context

La importancia de desarrollar la inteligencia emocional en el profesorado

A widespread view among philosophers of language is that language use is rule-governed. Such a claim need not be problematic. One can, for instance, direct it against distorted notions of language.

This paper describes the variables that explain the process of change and foundations and behavioral principles that underpin Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP) and its latest advances. Its foundations are the targets of intervention, that is, clinically relevant behaviors (CRB) and also the five proposed therapeutic rules. The analysis of the proposed therapeutic change process provides an insight into what variables to are necessary to conceptualize a clinical case. FAP emphasizes the client-therapist relationship which gives the opportunity to shape and reinforce improvements. The lines of research on efficacy and effectiveness are promising. We describe
