TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the practicas of liderazgo between two groups of directivos (101 colombianos and 121 mexicanos) for observing similitudes or diferencias entre the two countries.
Abstract: resumen Se compararon las practicas de liderazgo entre dos grupos de direc-tivos (101 colombianos y 121 mexicanos) para observar si existian similitudes o diferencias entre los dos paises. Se aplico el Inventario de Practicas de Liderazgo (IPL) de Kouzes y Posner (2002) para estimar el tipo de liderazgo ejercido. Los resultados muestran que, aunque los directivos colombianos presentan puntuaciones mas altas en cada una de las categorias evaluadas, los dos grupos presentan un patron similar de liderazgo. En ambos casos, la practica de liderazgo menos frecuente fue la de Inspirar, mientras que la mas frecuente fue la de Modelar, ambas pertenecientes al liderazgo transformacional. Se observaron diferencias significativas en Modelar el camino y Dar aliento al corazon, practicas correspondientes al liderazgo transfor-macional y al transaccional respectivamente. Se concluye que los directivos mexicanos y colombianos tienen un patron de liderazgo similar con algunas diferencias en frecuencia.

TL;DR: In this paper, an interpretative possibility of understanding the experience of being anxious is offered, before looking for an abstract and theoretical explanation about it, and the results and conclusions of a single case study are presented.
Abstract: In this article, an interpretative possibility of understanding the experience of being anxious is offered, before looking for an abstract and theoretical explanation about it. In this sense, this article reflects on the hermeneutic ground from which is interpreted the experience of being anxious, as well as on a first attempt to integrate the Amedeo Giorgi's procedure, employed to analyze data, in an hermeneutic perspective. The article then offers the results and conclusions of a single case study. The article emphasizes the importance of clarifying that in order to understand the way people live and confront the experience of being anxious, we have to be capable of grasping the meaning of this experience for the person who is experiencing it, from both the researcher's clarification of her/his own reactions and prejudices and the coresearcher's existential structure and experiential perspective. In this way, the article considers the hermeneutic idea related to understanding another person's experience...

TL;DR: In this article, a correlational study was carried out with 217 university students of different sex, intentionally selected, who responded to six questionnaires adapted by Martinez, Tirado and Ochoa (2005), related to each variable.
Abstract: Se establecio la relacion del Rendimiento Academico (RA) con la salud mental en los estudiantes universitarios de la Simon Bolivar, interes que surge de la problematica regional con respecto al nivel educativo y la necesidad de presentar hipotesis que vayan mas alla de las variables economicas. A nivel regional, los resultados bajos de las pruebas SABER, ICFES y ECAES han mostrado la necesidad de explicar lo que ocurre desde la inversion estatal, y las posibles soluciones para esta situacion. Por tanto, se realizo un estudio correlacional con 217 universitarios de diferente sexo, seleccionados intencionalmente, quienes respondieron a seis cuestionarios adaptados por Martinez, Tirado y Ochoa (2005), relacionados con cada variable. Los resultados principales indican que el RA correlaciona negativamente con el estado de ansiedad. Ademas, se encontraron promedios academicos significativamente mas altos en los estudiantes que no han perdido semestre alguno y que cursan todas las asignaturas proyectadas para el mismo semestre. Con el resto de variables de estudio, no se encontraron diferencias significativas.
Abstract
This study established the relationship between Academic Performance (AP) and mental health in university students of the Simon Bolivar. The regional problems with regard to the educational level and the need to present hypothesis that go beyond the economic variables were the reasons of this study. At regional level, the low results obtained through SABER, ICFES and ECAES tests have shown the need to explain what occurs from the State investment, and the possible solutions from the own actors to this situation. Therefore, a correlational study was carried out with 217 university students of different sex, intentionally selected, who responded to six questionnaires adapted by Martinez, Tirado and Ochoa (2005), related to each variable. The main results indicate that AP correlates negatively with the anxiety state. Besides, significant higher academic averages were found in the students that have not failed
any semester and that study all the subjects projected for the same semester. With the study variables remainder, significant differences were not found.
