Beatriz Montes Berges

Beatriz Montes Berges serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Jaen, Spain, actively contributing to the Psychological Evaluation and Intervention research group. Her academic foundation includes a 2002 PhD from the University of Granada focused on gender discrimination dynamics in competitive and cooperative settings under Dr. Miguel C. Moya Morales.

Education:

• PhD in Psychology, University of Granada (2002) – Thesis: 'Gender discrimination in competition and cooperation situations with subliminal priming'

Her research expertise spans Social Psychology, Gender Studies, and Violence Prevention, with significant contributions to LGBTQIA+ vulnerability analysis, youth risk perception in sexual behaviors, and psychological scale development. Recent work integrates public health perspectives, examining pandemic impacts on marginalized populations and designing evidence-based interventions for intimate partner violence perpetrators through systematic reviews and cross-cultural validations.

Analysis of her 2022-2025 publications reveals consistent methodological rigor in scale validation (e.g., Forgiveness Disposition Scale) and systematic reviews addressing societal challenges. Her studies frequently bridge academic research with policy applications, particularly in protective systems for LGBTQIA+ communities and risk behavior prevention among youth.
