Social well-being scales: validity and reliability evidence in the portuguese context
(Associação Portuguesa de Psicologia, 2018) Silva, Ana Lages; Magalhães, Eunice Vieira; Antunes, Carla Margarida Vieira; Ferreira, Célia Isabel Lima; HEI-LAB (FCT) - Digital Laboratories for Environments and Human Interactions
This study aims to provide evidence of validity and reliability of the Social Well-being Scales in the Portuguese context. A cross-sectional study was developed with 322 adults (M = 30.45; SD = 8.52) aged from 18 to 58 years old, mostly females (65.8%). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a good model fit considering the five-factor model consistent with the original theoretical proposal. Also, additional validity evidence was obtained with statistically significant associations being found between social well-being dimensions and satisfaction with life, depression and anxiety. Reliability data also showed adequate internal consistency of all well-being dimensions. This reliable and valid scale is useful to evaluate social well-being in adulthood in the Portuguese context, not only allowing a more comprehensive approach to the mental health research but also providing opportunities of assessment and intervention focused on a positive framework.
Delinquência juvenil em Portugal: estudo qualitativo das histórias de vida de jovens reclusos : Delinquência juvenil em Portugal
(Journals Bahia Scholl of medicine and public Health, 2018-03) Dias, Ana Rita Conde; Teixeira, Silvana Daniela Ventura; HEI-LAB (FCT) - Digital Laboratories for Environments and Human Interactions
Research on juvenile delinquency at the international level is mainly characterized by quantitative studies, trying to measure the phenomenon in terms of prevalence, to identify predictors and risk factors. Qualitative studies that attempt to understand the life experiences of young offenders are fewer and, specifically in Portugal, are even more scarce. The present study tries to fill this gap, trying to understand the life trajectories and the meaning of the experiences of the young delinquents. Thus, the life histories of nine young offenders who have committed crimes and are being detained in an educational center are analyzed. The study aims to identify the most relevant areas and life experiences of young offenders and how they are meant and experienced. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The analysis resulted in the identification of five central themes: family, peer group, delinquent behaviors, school path and institutionalization/prison. The results indicate that antisocial/delinquent behavior is, in fact, one of the predominant themes in discourse, which is revealed in most cases in experiences shared with peers, such as substance use, property crimes and offenses to physical integrity. Regrets and feelings of guilt arise associated with the description of criminal behavior. It is concluded that, at the level of prevention, the relational component should be the object of attention, namely the family relations and the relationship with the peers. The school component is also important, because there is a lack of positive experiences and success in school.
Typologies of intimate partner violence-maternal parenting and children's externalizing problems : the moderating effect of the exposure to other forms of family violence
(Elsevier Ltd., 2018-07) Lamela, Diogo; Jongenelen, Inês; Pinto, Ricardo; Levendosky, Alytia; HEI-LAB (FCT) - Digital Laboratories for Environments and Human Interactions
Typologies of IPV and parenting practices in mothers who experienced police-reported IPV remain surprisingly unexplored, in addition to how those typologies are linked with children's externalizing problems. Using data from 162 Portuguese mother-child dyads with a police or child protection services referral of IPV, this study aimed to: (a) identify IPV-parenting typologies; (b) test the associations between typologies and children's externalizing problems, and (c) examine the moderating effect of children's exposure to other forms of family violence in those associations. Using a person-centered approach, two IPV-parenting typologies were found: a spillover typology, with high levels of physical, psychological, and sexual violence and high levels of harsh and inconsistent parenting practices; and a compartmentalized typology, with high levels of physical, psychological, and sexual violence and lower ineffective parenting practices. Results also showed that externalizing symptoms (reported by mothers and teachers) were significantly lower in children of mothers in the compartmentalized typology compared to those in the spillover typology. Children's direct exposure to other forms of family violence moderated this association. Findings suggested that children with a high exposure to other forms of family violence showed the highest levels of externalizing problems when their mothers were classified into the spillover typology, and they exhibited the lowest levels of externalizing problems when their mothers were classified in the compartmentalized typology.
Childhood physical maltreatment with physical injuries is associated with higher adult psychopathology symptoms
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-09) Lamela, Diogo; Figueiredo, Bárbara; HEI-LAB (FCT) - Digital Laboratories for Environments and Human Interactions
Background: Previous research has neglected the distinction between childhood physical maltreatment (CPM) behaviors and the physical sequelae resulting from CPM. Prior empirical work has combined CPM behaviors (e.g., beat, hit with a belt) and CPM physical sequelae (e.g., bruises, fractures) into a single conceptual category to predict adverse psychological consequences in adults. This is preventing the examination whether specific subgroups of CPM exposure may report a higher risk of psychopathology symptoms in adulthood. The aim of this study was to examine whether distinct experiences of CPM histories (no physical maltreatment, physical maltreatment only, and physical maltreatment with physical sequelae) would be differentially associated with specific psychopathology dimensions in adulthood. symptoms Method: Data were drawn from the Portuguese National Representative Study of Psychosocial Context of Child Abuse and Neglect (N = 941). Participants completed the Childhood History Questionnaire and the Brief Symptom Inventory. Results: Three groups were created based on participants’ experience of CPM assessed by the Childhood History Questionnaire. Participants who reported that suffered physical sequelae of the CPM exhibited significantly higher symptoms in all psychopathology dimensions than participants with no history of CPM and participants that were exposed to physical maltreatment without sequelae. Conclusions: These findings suggest that clinicians should discriminate CPM behavior from CPM physical sequelae in order to increase effectiveness of mental health treatment with adults with history of CPM. Our findings are discussed in light of the evolutionary-developmental frameworks of adaptative development and cumulative risk hypothesis.
Perceção da Saúde: Validação de uma Escala para a População Portuguesa
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2018-12) Souto, Maria Teresa Soares; Ramires, Ana; Leite, Angela; Santos, Vanessa Margarida Amorim; Espírito Santo, Raquel Pereira da Silva do; HEI-LAB (FCT) - Digital Laboratories for Environments and Human Interactions
A validade do construto perceção da saúde tem aumentado ao longo do tempo; as pessoas avaliam melhor a sua saúde devido a um acréscimo da escolaridade. Diferentes instrumentos têm sido desenvolvidos para avaliar esta dimensão da saúde. Este estudo tem como objetivo a validação para a população adulta portuguesa do Health Perception Questionnaire, dada a inexistência no contexto português de instrumento validado que avalie a perceção da saúde. É um instrumento de autoresposta que avalia a perceção da saúde em três momentos – passado, presente e futuro, a resistência e atitudes em relação à doença. Participaram 1,139 sujeitos da população geral, com idades entre os 18 e os 79 anos e maioritariamente mulheres. Foram realizadas análises fatoriais exploratória e confirmatória, tendo sido encontrado um modelo de 2.a ordem, onde a perceção da saúde se define em torno de dois fatores – saúde atual (sete itens) e saúde anterior (dois itens). A vivência de doença grave ou significativa, assim como o bem-estar e a saúde, assumem-se como elementos chave na construção individual da perceção de saúde anterior e atual respectivamente.
Helicopter Parenting Instrument : Initial psychometric studies with emerging adults
(Asociacion Iberoamericana de Diagnostico y Evaluacion, 2019-01-01) Borges, Daniela Pacheco; Portugal, Alda; Magalhães, Eunice Vieira; Sotero, Luciana Maria Lopes; Lamela, Diogo; Prioste, Ana de Nazaré; HEI-LAB (FCT) - Digital Laboratories for Environments and Human Interactions; CICANT (FCT) - Centro de Investigação em Comunicação Aplicada, Cultura e Novas Tecnologias
O presente trabalho apresenta evidências de validade e fidelidade do Helicopter Parenting Instrument (HPI) no contexto português. Este instrumento avalia a perceção dos filhos sobre comportamentos parentais inapropriados face à sua etapa desenvolvimental (e.g., proteção excessiva, tomada de decisão pelos filhos). Participaram 187 adultos emergentes, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 25 anos, respondendo a um questionário sociodemográfico, ao HPI, ao Inventário de Sintomas Psicopatológicos (BSI) para avaliar a sintomatologia ansiosa e depressiva; ao Inventário do Clima Familiar (ICF) para avaliar a coesão e o conflito familiares; e à Escala das Dimensões do Desenvolvimento Identitário (DIDS) para avaliar o desenvolvimento identitário. Evidências de validade de constructo foram obtidas através da análise fatorial confirmatória realizada, que revelou um modelo unidimensional ajustado aos dados, assim como de validade convergente a partir das correlações entre o HPI e BSI, ICF e DIDS. Foi também obtido um valor de consistência interna satisfatório.
Teachers’ academic training for literacy instruction
(Routledge, 2019-05-27) Oliveira, Célia Regina Gomes; Lopes, João Arménio Lamego; Spear-Swerling, Louise; HEI-LAB (FCT) - Digital Laboratories for Environments and Human Interactions
Literacy instruction is a powerful determinant of children’s academic and school outcomes. Teachers’ training for literacy instruction is therefore critical for children’s reading learning. The present study examined the contents of 130 courses related to literacy instruction from a representative national sample of primary teachers’ undergraduate programs (N = 81), to address the following issues: which courses, related to literacy instruction, are included in the curriculum of undergraduate training programs? Which is the weight of the courses in undergraduate programs? What are the contents of the courses? The results show that most critical features of literacy instruction are included in the course contents of most programs (e.g. phonics, theory of literature). Still, some other critical features are underrepresented (reading/writing comprehension skills) or apparently missing (assessment and intervention in reading/writing problems). Moreover, the time allocated to literacy instruction seems to be scarce. Still, wide differences across university programs and courses were found.
Victimization and Psychopathology Prevalence’s in a Sample of Inmates in Cape Verde
(2019-07) Dias, Jorge; Dias, Ana Rita Conde; Souto, Maria Teresa Soares; HEI-LAB (FCT) - Digital Laboratories for Environments and Human Interactions
The literature and research suggested that both victimization and psychopathology are in themselves two risk factors associated with criminal recidivism. If on an international level, studies regarding the prevalence of prison victimization and on the prevalence of mental disorders have proliferated in the last decades, in Cape Verde they are nonexistent. So, the present research resorts to an inmate sample and aims to: characterize it regarding socio-demographic and criminal indicators and estimate either the prevalence of victimization and of psychopathological indicators. The sample includes 402 inmates, approximately 25% of the inmate popula- tion of Cape Verde. Two self-report instruments were used: a questionnaire on socio-demographic, criminal and prison characteriza- tion and the Brief Symptom Inventory. The results indicated that a significant number of prisoners reported having suffered some kind of violence in the prison context (37.1% reported having suffered some type of violence during their imprisonment and 21.4% reported having suffered violence in the last 12 months) and revealed indicators of psychopathology (namely psychotic problems and paranoid ideation). This study concludes that both victimization and mental health problems are present in inmates of Cape Verde and stresses the need to implement a system to identify, evaluate and intervene in these phenomena in the prison context. The eradication of victimization and the existence of mental health services and care, through the development and implementation of procedures for the evaluation, intervention and monitoring of prisoners for their rehabilitation and social integration, should be considered as guidelines to ensure safeguarded in the prison context and to promote high standard quality services.
Health behaviors as a mediator of the association between interpersonal relationships and physical health in a workplace context
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-07-01) Pinto, Ricardo José Martins; MOURA, ANDREIA DE PAIVA RIBEIRO DE; Dinis, Maria Alzira Pimenta; Pedrosa e Sousa, Hélder Fernando; Viterbo, Lilian Monteiro Ferrari; FPED - Faculty of Psychology, Education and Sport; HEI-LAB (FCT) - Digital Laboratories for Environments and Human Interactions
The etiology of diseases is multifactorial, involving genetic, environmental, and lifestyle-related behaviors. Considering the pathway that involves behavioral processes, a huge body of empirical evidence has shown that some healthy behaviors such as non-smoking, any or moderate alcohol consumption, a healthy diet, (e.g., fruit and vegetable intake), and physical activity, decrease the risk of disease and mortality. This study aimed to explore the potential mediating effect of combined health behaviors on the association between interpersonal relationships and physical health in a Brazilian adult worker population from the Occupational Health Service within the oil industry in Bahia, Brazil. The sample included 611 workers, of which 567 (92.8%) were males and 44 (7.2%) females, age ranging from 18 to 73 years (M = 41.95; SD = 8.88). The significant predictors of physical health were interpersonal relationships and health behaviors. Health behaviors contributed significantly to a reduction in the effect of interpersonal relationships on physical health outcomes. As far as it is known, there has been no prior work in Brazil that simultaneously examined the best predictors of physical health in oil workers using this conceptual model. Interventions in the workplace environment need to consider health behavior as a mediator between interpersonal relationships and physical health, aligned in a global psychosocial approach to health at work.
Alexithymia among long-term drug users: a pilot study in Oporto
(2019-09-18) Souto, Maria Teresa Soares; Alves, Hélder; Dias, Ana Rita Conde; Pinto, Luísa; Ribeiro, Óscar; HEI-LAB (FCT) - Digital Laboratories for Environments and Human Interactions
Increasing scientific evidence supports an association between alexithymia and psychoactive substance use. This study explores alexithymia ́s expression in sample of long-term drug users, undergoing outpatient treatment in public health units in Oporto, Portugal, as well as its ́ association with social demographic risk factors. Data was collected from a sample of 90 adults, participants, mainly men (n=90; 87%), considered to be old consumers (81% with a age>40 years), with a mean age of 46.1 years (SD=8.3; range=21–64).Two instruments were used: a sociodemographic questionnaire and the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). More than 51.1% of the individuals were alexithymic, indicating a high prevalence of deficits in emotional awareness. The treatment period varied from 0 to 15 years, included a medication in 55% of cases, mostly methadone (83%). This profile illustrates the gradual aging of the long-term users of illicit drugs and alcohol with a clear diagnosis of an emotional disorder. Therefore, clinicians who develop treatment strategies may want to take into account the likelihood that many of their patients may be alexithymic; in being so, they should integrate specific psychotherapeutic techniques that promote both the identification and the differentiation in emotionally dysfunctional patients.
Shelter versus living with abusive partner : differences among mothers and children exposed to intimate partner violence
(Springer New York, 2019-10-01) Pinto, Ricardo J.; Lamela, Diogo; Simães, Clara; Levendosky, Alytia; Jongenelen, Inês; HEI-LAB (FCT) - Digital Laboratories for Environments and Human Interactions
Objectives: A growing body of literature has examined differences in the mental health and social support of abused women living in shelters compared with women from the community. However, less attention has been given to the differential effects of living in shelters and living with abusive partner in both mothers and children. A cross-sectional study was carried out to examine differences on cortisol awakening response (CAR), depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress symptoms, and social support in a Portuguese sample of women living in shelter compared to women living with abusive partner. Mothers also reported on their children’s internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Methods: The sample included 162 mothers and their children (4–10 years of age), of whom 81 were living with the abusive partner and 81 were living in shelters. Results: After adjusting for covariates, mothers living in shelters showed better psychological, physiological and social functioning. In contrast, children living in shelters displayed higher levels of internalizing and externalizing symptoms compared with children living at home with their mothers and abusive partners. Conclusions: This study suggests that for women, shelter residence may be helpful for mental health and for significant improvements in perceived social support, but for children, the results seem to suggest that they are not benefiting from the time they spend at shelter. Future studies using samples from women in shelters need to evaluate if the services offered are suitable for children’s needs.
Mental health and victimization: an exploratory study in prisons of Cape Verde
(2019-10-09) Dias, Ana Rita Conde; Dias, Jorge; Souto, Maria Teresa Soares; Gamito, Pedro; HEI-LAB (FCT) - Digital Laboratories for Environments and Human Interactions
Background: There is insufficient information available regarding the psychopathological characteristics of the inmate population in low-middle-income countries as Cape Verde. Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of mental disorders in a sample of Cape Verdean inmates and explore its’ relation with victimization in the prison context Participants and methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in 5 prisons of Cape Verde. 402 subjects were included in stratified convenience sample and assessed with Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Data was analyzed using SPSS 25 software applying descriptive and inferential statistical measures. Results: Inmate ́s mean age was 31, 16 years, mainly men (96%), single (87,6%) from Cape Verde (90,8%) with a basic level of education. 62.9% reported substance use problems. According to the psychopathological dimensions included in BSI, paranoid ideation, obsessive-compulsive and depressive symptoms stand out either in the sample or in the 2 sub-samples. Symptomatology was significantly higher among victims namely in interpersonal sensitivity), anxiety and hostility. The increasing reoccurrence of victimization in the past 12 months is associated with an increase in the severity of symptoms. Conclusion: Victimization and mental health problems should be identified as early as possible to enable joint and combined intervention, given the negative impact of psychopathological manifestations on the reintegration of prisoners in society affecting the reintegration of prisoners into society.
Assessing reliability and validity of the Child PTSD Symptom Scale in portuguese adolescents
(Elsevier Masson s.r.l., 2019-11) Pinto, Ricardo José Martins; Santos, Patrícia Correia; Castro, Maria Vieira de; Jongenelen, Inês Martins; Levendosky, Alytia; Maia, Ângela Rosa da Costa; HEI-LAB (FCT) - Digital Laboratories for Environments and Human Interactions
Objective This study assessed psychometric properties of a self-reported measure of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for adolescents based on DSM-5 criteria–the Child PTSD Symptom Scale–Self Report. We tested the internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and convergent validity. Method The participants were 317 Portuguese adolescents (53% females) between 13 and 17 years old who had experienced at least one traumatic event or one childhood adversity. A subset of the sample (n = 85) completed test-retest measures (interval range between 5 and 7 months). Results Analyses revealed good to excellent internal consistencies, moderate to good agreement test-retest reliability, and good convergent validity. Conclusions Results supported the use of the CPSS-SR-5 scale as a valid and reliable measure for the identification of PTSD symptoms and probable diagnosis according to DSM-5 criteria in Portuguese adolescents.
Alternative models of DSM-5 posttraumatic stress disorder in portuguese adolescents exposed to trauma and childhood adversity
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2019-12-01) Correia-Santos, Patrícia; Morgado, Diogo; Maia, Ângela C.; Levendosky, Alytia; Jongenelen, Inês; Pinto, Ricardo J.; HEI-LAB (FCT) - Digital Laboratories for Environments and Human Interactions
The factor structure of DSM-5 posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been extensively debated, with evidence supporting the recently proposed seven-factor hybrid model. However, few studies examining PTSD symptom structure have assessed the implications of these proposed models on diagnostic criteria and PTSD prevalence. In the present study, we examined seven alternative DSM-5 PTSD models within a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), using the Child PTSD Symptom Scale–Self-Report for DSM-5 (CPSS-5). Additionally, we generated prevalence rates for each of the seven models by using a symptom-based diagnostic algorithm and assessed whether substance abuse, depression, anxiety symptoms, and daily functioning were differentially associated with PTSD depending on the model used to derive the diagnosis. Participants were 317 adolescents aged 13–17 years (M = 15.93, SD = 1.23) who had experienced a DSM-5 Criterion A trauma and/or childhood adversity. The CFA results showed good fit indices for all models, with the seven-factor hybrid model presenting the best fit. The rates of PTSD diagnosis varied according to each model. The four-factor DSM-5 model presented the highest rate (30.6%), and the seven-factor hybrid model presented the lowest rate (17.4%). Similar to the CFA analysis, the inclusion criteria for the diagnosis based on the hybrid model also presented the strongest associations with daily functional impairment, odds ratio (OR) = 1.48, 95% CI [1.25, 1.75]; and adverse childhood experiences, OR = 1.46, 95% CI [1.16, 1.82]. Research and clinical implications of these results are discussed, and suggestions for future investigation are presented.
Looking for a pattern : error analysis as a diagnostic assessment for making instructional decisions to promote academic success
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020) Tabacu, Lucia M.; Watson, Silvana Maria; Chezar, Laura C.; Gable, Robert; Oliveira, Célia R.; Lopes, João; HEI-LAB (FCT) - Digital Laboratories for Environments and Human Interactions
We examined the type of errors on multiplication and division computation problems of 326 rising fifth graders enrolled in four elementary schools in Northern Portugal. We further examined whether there was a difference in the number of errors across age and whether there was an association between students’ performance on number knowledge and multiplication and division computation problems. Error analysis of students’ responses indicated that miscalculation and no attempt to solve the problem were the two most frequent error types. We found that older students made more errors compared to younger students. We argue that knowledge of individual student error types is critical to making sound instructional decisions. Based on the results of the present study, we discuss implications for future research and classroom practice.
Updating Bem-me-ker : an user-centred approach to redesigning an onboarding application for cancer patients
(Universidade de Aveiro, 2020) Ferraz, Inês; Reis, Marta; Cardoso, Pedro Jorge Couto; Sousa, Andreia Pinto de; Giesteira, Bruno; Melo, Ricardo; Faculdade de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
This paper presents the research and development of a redesign of Bem-me-ker – an application of the Portuguese Oncology Institute (IPO) of Porto. For this project, we resorted to a user-centric methodology featuring a survey of the current market and the context of the digital health industry, interviews and usability tests with patients, caregivers and stakeholders. Such user-centric methodology proved to be efficient in responding to their needs, with satisfactory results. Its contributions are focused on the incorporation of the concept of patient navigation into the design of an onboarding application, transforming it into a virtual manager of the disease for cancer patients, and with the ultimate goal to improve their wellbeing and quality-of-life. We see that this approach is also capable of being adjusted to the needs of other institutions and patients, thus contributing to the improvement of the national health service, providing digitally optimized information to citizens.

Research studies on dyslexia : participant inclusion and exclusion criteria
(Routledge, 2020) Lopes, João A.; Gomes, Cristina; Oliveira, Célia R.; Elliott, Julian G.; HEI-LAB (FCT) - Digital Laboratories for Environments and Human Interactions
Dyslexia is a term widely used to describe reading characterised by problems with the fluent and accurate letter or word recognition. Nevertheless, there is no consensus about the definition, origin, and diagnosis of dyslexia and the term is often used very differently by researchers and practitioners. In many cases, research findings are employed by clinicians in ways that are misleading and potentially counterproductive. The present study takes the form of an examination of participant samples included in studies of dyslexia (n = 800) over 20 years (2000–2019). The findings show that (1) researchers use a wide range of inclusion and exclusion criteria; that (2) IQ-reading achievement discrepancy is the most common inclusion criterion for dyslexia samples; (3) studies typically compare dyslexic samples to normal controls but not to other poor readers; (4) dyslexia seems to be employed as a catch-all term for poor readers in general, not as a term to define a specific type of poor reader. Finally, (5) dyslexia studies are very rarely published in educational journals.
