Nuestro invitado en este episodio es Hugo Figueiredo, doctor en psicología social, director del master de prevención de riesgos laborales de la Universidad Internacional de Valencia y miembro de la unidad de investigación UNIPSICO, que se dedica al estudio de los riesgos psicosociales en el trabajo. En concreto del estrés laboral, el acoso psicológico (mobbing) y el síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo (SQT) (burnout). Conversamos con Hugo del análisis científico del estrés laboral, que se conceptualiza como una experiencia que puede ser positiva o negativa, en función de cual sea nuestra percepción de lo que nos demanda nuestro trabajo y del control que tenemos sobre el mismo, y que tiene unos síntomas físicos, emocionales y cognitivos. Además, Hugo nos explica las consecuencias personales y empresariales del estrés. Nos aclara conceptos como presentismo, el síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo (burnout), la sobrecarga de trabajo, los conflictos trabajo-familia, la falta de desconexión digital, o el tecno-estrés, y como todos estos fenómenos son consecuencia de una mala gestión de la competitividad que nos ha llevado a que el estrés sea la pandemia del mundo del trabajo.
Here is a list of questions / answers from a young man in high school doing a project for class - along with a few very common follow up questions / comments to fully explain: http://www.stewsmithfitness.com See article version: https://www.stewsmithfitness.com/blogs/news/ten-questions-about-seal-training-job-and-life What training does a career in the SEALs require? See SEALSWCC.com for the preparation details about the journey to get TO BUD/S but also read this as many people can get TO BUD/S but only 25% make it THROUGH BUD/S. See article format with working links - https://www.stewsmithfitness.com/blog... FIRST - Ace the PST - See article / videos for PST preparation guidelines. SECOND - Go see a recruiter - But read this - are you really ready? Crush the PST with your Mentor on Day 1 Extra reading during your prep journey - So You Wanna Be a Frogman Final Note: This preparation process can take some time even if you were a three sport athlete in high school. Do not be in a rush to join - join when you are ready and make yourself a Better Recruit (see Be a Better Recruit Video) because this is what you have to endure. Boot Camp, BUD/S Prep at Great Lakes IL - 15 total weeks BUD/S Orientation at Coronado CA - 3 weeks BUD/S Training - 21 weeks (1st Phase - Physical Conditioning + Hellweek, 2nd Phase- Diving, 3rd Phase - Land Warfare) SQT - SEAL Qualification Training - 26 weeks - Coronado CA 2. What particular specialization of the SEALs were you in? What additional special training did it require? I went to the SDV Team TWO after BUD/S graduation - then through six months of STT - SEAL Tactical Training with all the new guys on the East Coast Teams (aka today's SQT). Then Advanced Operator Training (AOT) at SDV to learn how to do the SDV / Mar Ops Mission off of submarines. We launched mini-subs and zodiac boats from sub surface with a host submarine as our primary insert method for SEAL missions. This required LOTS of dive time. 3. What natural abilities or interests are needed for a career in the SEALs? Be an open minded team player willing to learn something new each day and listen to people with more experience or less experience with better ways and ideas to tackle problems. A natural discipline to work hard every day whether is training workouts or long days and night of mission preparation. The discipline and dedication to stay fit is instrumental in being able to do the job. . 4. Is there good job availability for those who choose the SEALs? No - The SEAL community is small. More people try to be SEALs each year that make it. With a 25% graduation rate if 1000 people make it through the pre-selection process, only 250 will graduate. It is a tight community that has some of the toughest military training in front of the gates to the Teams. Are you prepared to be in the top 25% of your peers? 5. Would you rate the opportunities for advancement as poor, fair, good, or excellent? I would say good to excellent. Advancement is available for those who rise to the top in their year group, team, within their specialty, however it is competitive. You are competing with other SEALs throughout the Teams to advance in rank. 6. Could you list a particular advantage of being a SEAL? A particular disadvantage? You do a fun, challenging, and rewarding job in the SEAL Teams no matter what your role. YOu are serving your country with an elite team of like minded warriors, however, you have to do this job far from home. Being away from home is a tough challenge as you age with spouse and family to raise. However, this is not unlike any other military unit in our Department of Defense. It is tough on military families the most. 7. Do you have any special advice for someone interested in the SEALs (such as things to study)? Be good student - not some average Joe who fails classes. You need to be smart, able to think and communicate under duress. You need basic English skills of writing, public speaking. You need math skills and understand concepts of algebra, geometry, and science of physics and chemistry. Languages are also a plus as you will be overseas in other cultures of our allies as well as our enemies. 8. Are there any current problems faced by most SEALs? There are people in the world who hate Americans and want to kill us - whether that is our fault or theirs it does not matter. SEALs, other Special Ops, and Ground forces have to deal them up close and personal. That is an issue the SEALs are willing to do if needed. When there is no war and more peace time training deployments, a warrior without a war can also be equally challenging to the community. Dealing with the stresses of the job in any tactical profession is a problem that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. Having access to stress relieving activities can be extremely helpful for the war-fighter and other tactical athletes as well (police, fire).

What draws people toward violent extremist groups? Psychologists have conducted a lot of research to find this out and in this episode I summarize the findings of key researchers in this area. Researchers Arie Kruglanski, Katarzyna Jasko, David Webber, Chernikova and Erica Molinario explain how their theory, called SQT or Significance Quest Theory explains what leads young men to join extremist groups.
