With the aim of analysing the community characteristics of territories and groups, identifying risk factors, resources and potential, and developing prevention and social intervention projects.
We are interested in addressing the operational conceptualisation of the psychosocial definition of health and well-being, which includes personal, group and community determinants. These encompass the perception of health and body image, the attributional and motivational system, attitudes, values and social representations, the importance of the sex-gender system, processes of social structuring and participation, as well as the health and economic system of a community.
Nowadays, modifying epidemiological patterns related to the prevalence of cardiovascular disease and/or obesity is a priority. We highlight the importance of physical activity and diet as sociocultural factors that define a healthy lifestyle and, therefore, individual and/or social quality of life.
The aim is to investigate how various characteristics of the work environment impact workers' psychological health, and to examine the role of other relevant psychosocial variables in this relationship. . Education is considered an agent of change and an indispensable social requirement in the definition of human and social capital.
The study of the social conditioning of gender identity emergence allows us to find tools to prevent situations of tension and violence (contrary to well-being and community health) that occur in social groups as a result of inequalities generated by normative gender differences. Gender inequalities and differences are a clear risk factor for health.
From a multidisciplinary perspective, we drive innovation processes that not only generate academic knowledge but also prioritise its effective transfer to the social and business fabric, providing real-world solutions to contemporary challenges.
