In the sexual relations of the youth, the variables associated with condom use are diverse and are often presented with other variables, that are also associated with unprotected sexual practice. This study aimed to determine to what extent the perception of self-efficacy, low risk perception and condom use shunning are associated with condom use in sexual relations of young Colom- bians. 308 university students in the city of Cúcuta, Colombia, participated in the study. The results indicate significant correlations in men between condom use and self-efficacy perception and negative correlations in women between condom use, low risk perception and condom use shunning. Only in the male groups, the perception of self-efficacy predicts condom use.

The present article is the result of a research that sought to know the coherence between the speech and the performance of a teacher in regards to the teacher-student relationships in pre-school. It was conducted through the qualitative approach with a study of a single case. The participants were 1 teacher and her 35 pre-school students. The children were between 4 and 5 years of age and attended an Educational Institution of the city of San Juan of Past(Colombia). Three classes were observed during the school period: the beginning, the half and the end of the year in order to study the changes in the interactions of the teacher with the children. Also, 20 minutes of each class were films and a semi-structured interview was done to the teacher to compare her opinions regarding the observed classes. The information was analyzed throughf the domains, dimensions and characteristics of the Pianta’s CLASS instrument. The research revealed incoherencies between the speech and the teacher’s performance in reference to the affective and the cognitive; the same happened with the relational ties in the ambientation of the environment of the classroom. That is to say, the teacher is clear on the importance of affection as a factor in the formation of the student. Nevertheless, she does not act in accordance to this concept.

The presented results are the perceptions of 823 teachers on violence manifestations in the institutions under study. The Buss and Perry Questionnaire (1992) was used as an instrument, adapting the questions in order to validly and reliably substantiate the obtained results. Furthermore, an instrument with multiple choice questions was built to complement the Likert scale. The results show that not only students assault each other, but also aggressions between students and teachers were evidenced.

The article is a result of a research whose objective was to explore the quantitative correlation between homophobia and lesbophobia among medical students from a university in Bogota, Colombia. A cross-sectional study was conducted with medical students over 18 years. Homophobia and lesbophobia were measured with the scale Attitude toward Gays and Lesbians (ATGL). The ATGL has of two ten-item scales: Attitude toward Gay Men Scale (ATG) and Attitude toward Lesbian Women Scale (ATL). Correlation between both scales was computed with the Pearson coefficient (r). It was hypothesized that homophobia and lesbophobia were different constructs if the correlation between scales was lower than 0.60. A total of 359 medical students participated in the research. The age average was 20.2 years old (SD=1.9); and 59.1 % were females. The ATG(Cronbach’s alpha of 0.85) scores were between 10 and 50, with an average of 27.9 (SD=8.1) and for ATL (Cronbach’s alpha of 0.73) between 10 and 45, with an average of 24.8 (SD=6.8). The correlation between homophobia (ATG) and lesbophobia (ATL) was of r=0.64 (p<0.001). It was that concluded that the ATG and ATL show a significantly high correlation; it suggests that homophobia and lesbophobia are not different constructs and both terms could be included in the general concept of sexual prejudice. Other researches must corroborate the present finding.

The purpose of this research was to identify levels of resilience in divorced people according to their education and income levels. For Gomez (2010), adverse situations are best dealt with adequate levels of resilience. The study involved 139 divorced participants: divorced men (44.6 %) and women (55.4 %); with basic education (48.2 %), college educated (51.8 %), with an income of less than COP $1.8 million (60.4 %) and with an income higher than COP $1.8 million (39.6 %). The methodology was quantitative with a cross design and ANOVAS were run in order to answer the research questions. People with college education showed higher levels of resilience in social competence and social support. Furthermore, those with higher income showed greater strength and self-confidence, social competence, family support and structure. In addition, an effect was found between the interaction of levels of income and education level, and the in strength and self-confidence. For future research, it is suggested to deepen these results on qualitative level.
