The PAIDI HUM-554 research group has been investigating variables related to the development of risk and adaptive behaviours in childhood since 1997. Currently, this group only includes doctors or graduates in several areas of Psychology (two of them are currently in the process of obtaining their Doctor degree). At the beginning, it was also composed of researchers from the "Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas" (CSIC) who are now retired. Although it is a small group, it has maintained its research activity for more than two decades, developing a very coherent and compact line of work in collaboration with the UPV, which has given rise to numerous indexed scientific publications and contributions to international congresses, and which to date has accumulated 12 six-year periods of research (in addition to one more in the process of being resolved). The latest research is located in one of the current topics of Psychology, such as the additive and interactive study of the influence of family and individual variables (biological and socio-cognitive) on risk behaviour or psychosocial adjustment behaviour in mid-childhood in order to improve, prevent and/or intervene in child development. In addition, we are focused on finding individual markers that can favor and/or harm the influence of family and school contexts on the behavior of children in middle childhood.
