  • Web-based application to foster pro-environmental behavior via empathy
    Publication . Gaspar, Augusta; Cláudio, Ana Paula
    Forests are disappearing at a faster pace than ever. As the problem stems not only from business interests but also from consumer’s lack of knowledge and weak motivation, we put Emotion Psychology into practice, creating a web page that addresses the problems and solutions for the world’s great forests through gamification—to motivate people across the world to make a difference, raising their awareness and empathy, as a means to change small habits that nonetheless have great environmental impact.

  • Creative self-efficacy, academic performance and the 5Cs of positive youth development in Spanish undergraduates
    Publication . Gomez-Baya, Diego; Garcia-Moro, Francisco José; Tomé, Gina; Matos, Margarida Gaspar de
    (1) Background: Creative self-efficacy is associated with better psychological well-being and academic performance in adolescent and youth samples. Positive youth development is a strength-based model of youth transition to adulthood, which states that this emerges from adaptive regulations between personal strengths and nurturing contexts. The present study aimed to examine the associations between creative self-efficacy, PYD and perceived academic performance in a sample of Spanish youth. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out during the spring of 2024. A sample composed of 370 undergraduates (M = 21.29, SD = 3.61) from 10 universities in Andalusia (Spain) filled in an online self-report measure. (3) Results: The results showed positive associations between creative self-efficacy, PYD and academic performance. A mediational analysis indicated that creative self-efficacy presented a positive effect on perceived academic performance through its positive associations with both Confidence and Competence dimensions of PYD. (4) Conclusions: These results may suggest the need to integrate creativity and PYD programs to strengthen academic performance in higher education.
