title: Intimate Partner Violence and Gender A/Symmetry: An Integrative Literature Review

description: Abstract Gender stereotypes have largely been discussed in the occurrence of marital violence, mainly in international literature. The objective was to map and analyze scientific literature, published between 2010 and 2015, using the databases ISI Web of Science, Academic Search Complete, Medline Complete, PsycInfo e Scielo. Strings used were: a) first search strategy - “intimate partner violence” AND “gender symmetry”; b) second search strategy - “intimate partner violence” AND “gender asymmetry”. We analyzed 48 journal articles entirely available online. Most publications are from The United States (60.41%) and use quantitative research designs (60.41%). The most frequently used instrument was the Revised Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS2), even though criticized because of its checklist structure. Disagreement remains about gender a/symmetry in conjugal violence, however, an emerging perspective affirms that these cases should not be generalized and each couple’s specificities must be assessed. National studies are necessary to contemplate different aspects of this phenomenon.

title: Early Literacy Skills in Portuguese: a Crosscultural Research in Portugal and Brazil

description: Abstract The main goal of this study was to assess the effects of an invented spelling training programme in the early stages of literacy of preschool Portuguese-speaking children. It encompassed 79 children from Portugal and Brazil. There were four equivalent groups (one experimental group and one control group in each country) and various control measures: knowledge of the alphabet, non-verbal intelligence and phonological awareness (syllabic and phonemic). A reading and spelling pre/post-test was carried out. During the intermediate period the experimental groups participated in invented spelling activities, and the control groups read children’s books. The results of the post-test have shown that the experimental groups reached higher levels in both reading and spelling as compared to the control groups. This evolution pattern was found in both countries, thus suggesting that invented spelling activities promote early literacy skills of preschool children speaking two Portuguese variants: European and Brazilian.

title: Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI): Adaptation and Factorial Validity in the Brazilian Northeast

description: Abstract This study aimed to verify the psychometric parameters of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory - PTGI, presenting evidence of factorial validity, internal consistency and steps of cross-cultural adaptation. The sample consisted of 205 participants from northeastern Brazilian cities, mostly female (59.03%), aged between 18 and 86 years (M = 29.5, SD = 11.4). Participants answered the PTGI, the Life Stressor Checklist - Revised, and demographic questions. The confirmatory factor analysis observed the penta-factorial model as more suitable for PTGI, being statistically superior to three and one-factor. The internal consistency of its factors (Cronbach’s alpha) ranged from .70 to .86, with general alpha of .92, values considered acceptable. It follows that this measurement, providing evidence of construct validity, can be properly used in research in the context in which it was adapted to, however, we recommend the use of the instrument in more heterogeneous samples and conducting other analyzes, observing its factorial invariance.

title: Need for Affect Questionnaire (NAQ-S): Construct Validity, Invariance and Reliability

description: Abstract Two studies (N=457) examined the psychometric properties of the short version of the Need for Affect Questionnaire (NAQ-S) in the Brazilian context. In the first study, a principal components analysis indicated a two-factor structure, with five items each: approach (α= .70) and avoidance (α= .75). This structure was confirmed in the second study (GFI= .92; CFI= .90), and it was invariant across gender. To verify the correlates of NAQ-S, we used measures to evaluate the human values, loneliness and need to belong in both studies, besides the five personality factors in the second study. The results showed that higher need for affect was associated with higher extraversion, higher scores in excitement and interactive values, and with lower loneliness scores. The studies support the validity of the NAQ-S in Brazil, showing its usefulness for research purposes.

title: Evidence of the Validity of the Scale of Attitudes towards Reading: ERAS-Br

description: Abstract To obtain evidence of validity and reliability, the Brazilian version of the Elementary Reading Attitude Survey (ERAS-Br) was applied to 335 elementary school students. It was identified that multidimensional structures with two (Academic Reading and Recreational Reading) or three (Recreational Reading, General Academic Reading and Academic Reading Assessment) factors and one factor of second order are suitable to the ERAS-Br. Both the measure as a whole and the factors showed a satisfactory internal consistency. A test-retest procedure with an interval of 2 years and part of the sample obtained sufficient or good stability coefficients. Overall, the attitudes toward reading tended to be slightly positive, but declined in the 2-year interval. Although the ERAS-Br has good validity evidence based on the internal structure and reliability, the fact that the attitudes toward reading become less positive over the years is worrying. Further studies are recommended.

title: Infant Perceptions: Relationships between School Motivation and Family Support

description: Abstract The aim of this research was to analyze children’s perception of school motivation and the family support of students from different school years, as well as verifying the relations between variables. This study was composed of 342 children, with ages ranging from 7 to 13, both male and female, from three municipal schools in the countryside of the state of São Paulo. We investigated the motivational orientations and children’s perception of family support. The results indicate that the motivational orientations and the family educational support showed a decline as school years progresses; there was positive, meaningful and low correlation between the intrinsic motivation and the affective, educational and material family support; and negative, meaningful and low correlation between the extrinsic motivation and the affective aspect of the family support. This study concluded the importance of deepening the knowledge of family support in the school motivation, since this is shown as related to the students’ intrinsic motivation with the schooling progress.

title: Youth Sports Program Influences Children’s Perceived Competence?

description: Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the levels of perceived competence and the influence of a youth sports program on the Perceived Competence (PC) of children (N=118; 5 to 9 years old). Children were paired and assigned to a control group (attending school physical education classes) and a youth sport group (attending an after-school Motivational Mastery program). Children were assessed using self-perception scales for young and school-aged children. ANOVA was used to analyze the data. Results showed high levels of PC in all domains; similar levels of PC in the groups in pre-and post-test, positive changes in athletic and cognitive PC and in the perceived self value only for the youth sport group, and similar PC between boys and girls. The strategies used in the sports program were effective to strengthen motor, cognitive and global perceptions of competence, especially for boys.

title: Gender Violence and Perpetrators: Representations of Health Professionals

description: Abstract This research aimed to understand the social representations of health professionals about the violence against women and the male perpetrators. For this purpose, 25 health professionals were interviewed using a semistructured interview guide. The data were analyzed according to the thematic content analysis using the Iramuteq software. The results showed that the social representation of violence against women was objectified in physical violence and anchored on aggression. And the male perpetrator of this violence was objectified in the figure of the cowardly. The professional practices related to episodes of violence are still incipient. Therefore, we emphasize the importance of investing in professional training to contribute with the professional routine in this theme.

title: Perception of freedom in leisure among substance users and nonusers

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to verify that substance use among adolescents would be linked to perceptions of freedom in leisure. It was selected for convenience sampling 186 adolescents at Projeto Quixote in a public school in Guarulhos. It used as questionnaire Data Sociodemographic and Leisure, The Leisure Diagnostic Battery, version B (PLL) to measure Perceived Freedom in Leisure and Drug Use Screening Inventory for classification of substance use, all self-administered. Based on 165 reviews analyzed, the frequency of use of ecstasy and marijuana in the last month were related to higher rates of PLL. The number of substances used in the last month had no significant effect. These data suggest specific components of leisure related to the frequency of substance use, such as perceived control and need at leisure.

title: The Stepmother-Stepchild Dyad: Narratives in the Remarriage Context

description: Abstract The present study is part of a wider research about conjugality and parenthood in remarriage and aims to investigate the perception of stepmothers about their relationship with their stepchildren. For that, a qualitative research was carried out, in which 16 stepmothers of the middle socioeconomic segment, aged 28 and 43 years, were interviewed. The results were analyzed according to the content analysis method in its categorical aspect. Six categories of analysis emerged from the material. In order to achieve the objectives formulated in this study, the category stepmother-stepchild dyad, divided into two subcategories: bonding with the stepchildren and participation in education will be discussed. It was observed that the relationship between the stepmother and her stepchildren, besides being built gradually, is crossed by the father and the mother who authorizes or shies away the bond between the stepmother-stepchild dyad.

title: “Everyone Wants To Have a Perfect Child”: Being Mother of Children with Autism

description: Abstract This article aims to understand the aspects of the experience of mothers of children with autism, based on interviews and existing studies, situating the theoretical debate around this process. This is a qualitative research, carried out through semi-structured interviews with six mothers of children with autism. Data analysis was conducted using the content analysis method, resulting in three themes - impact of diagnosis, social support, and being a woman and mother of a child with autism. The results corroborate the literature on the impact of autism on the daily lives of these women, the burden they face and the importance of the social support network. The findings of this study emphasize the importance of diagnosis as a guideline for these mothers’actions and the professionals’ resistance to provide it, as well as the father who has difficulty accepting the child’s condition, and restoring the mother’s feminine identity.
