title: Mediation in Zulliger: Evidence of Validity in Sample of Not Patients

description: Abstract Considering the influence of cultural factors in the assessment of personality and diversity of these in the Brazilian scenario, the purpose of this study was to verify the validity of Zulliger on a sample of non-patient gauchos, focusing on the mediation variables. A total of 40 individuals of both genders participated in the study - ages varying between 18 and 43 years old - all of them with high school education level, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Descriptive and comparative statystical analysis were used between the gaucho group and the Brazilian normative data. The results demonstrated statistically significant differences between the samples, with an increase in the variable(s) XA%, WDA%, X+% and decrease in the variable(s) X- % and S- in the gaucho group, ultimately showing the validity of the instrument for the context of the research. Additional and follow up studies of this nature with expanded and diverse samples is needed to ensure that the established standards are appropriate for the population.

title: Profiles of Personality of Adolescents who have Committed Homicide

description: Abstract This study consists of an empirical article that aims to characterize psychological profiles in a group of adolescents who committed homicide. The study included 33 adolescents, male and female, aged between 14 and 19 years, who committed homicide and are serving educational measures deprived of freedom. The teenagers were submitted to a semi directed interview and the Rorschach Test (Comprehensive System). The results showed some personality traits that allowed them to be divided into three subgroups: a group with marked narcissistic pathological components; another group that is characterized by absence of social and interpersonal skills, with a tendency to establish conflictive relationships and with low capacity to cope with the demands of daily life; and the latter group had demoted critical judgment and consistency as eccentric thoughts and disregard for the socially expected behaviors. The main results demonstrated the insufficiency of psychological resources that interfere with their capacity to adapt to the environment.

title: Factors Associated with Mathematics Performance in Brazilian Basic Education

description: Abstract Several studies have indicated that student performance is strongly influenced by school context. Within this frame of reference, the present study sought to identify contextual variables that affect proficiency in mathematics taking the multilevel structure of schools into consideration. The information of 4,338,885 students who participated in the Brazilian national assessment of educational progress of 2009 was used. Multilevel analysis showed an intra-class correlation of .27 and .19 for the 5th grade of elementary school and 9th grade of middle school, the last year of middle school. In both models, more than 50% of school level variance and more than 11% of the variance on student level was explained. The final model is composed of control variables, 13 student level variables, 9 school level variables, and random and interaction effects. The results contribute to a better comprehension of factors that affect school performance, which permits the orientation of public policies.

title: Motivation Assessment Scale for Learning in Higher Education (EMAPRE-U): Validity Evidence

description: Abstract As part of the psychological evaluation, it is essential to use measuring instruments appropriate to the specific areas of interest and with good psychometric properties. In this perspective, this study was intended to seek validity evidence by analyzing the internal structure for the Motivation Assessment Scale for Learning (EMAPRE) in higher education, using confirmatory factor analysis. The EMAPRE is a Likert scale with 28 items, with the options "agree", "disagree" and "do not know". The study included 815 students, of whom 58.9% were male, with age spread from 18 to 63 years, in several majors in private institutions. Three models were tested and the results indicated best fits indices with the three-factor model, but with the need to eliminate two items from the EMAPRE. Adequate reliability levels were found, indicating that the instrument is useful in assessing learning motivation in university students.

title: Parents Dealing with the Expression of Sadness by their Children

description: Abstract Objectives: Identifying sadness inductors on children according to parents' perception; checking strategies of emotion regulation used by parents before children's sadness; comparing the ways mothers and fathers deal with children's sadness. Participants: 26 heterosexual couples (Average age = 37 years old), at least two children from six up to twelve years old, one boy and one girl. Delineation: collective case study. Instruments: General data questionnaire; Econômica Brasil qualification criteria; The questions were: "What usually upsets your child?"; "Tell me a situation which made your son sad."; "What did you do in this situation?"; stimulus-story. Outcome: fathers tend to punish sons and daughters when they are sad and replace something lost; mothers minimize it, i. e., reduce the importance of child's reaction, or the problem that caused it. Reaction centered in the problem was the most used by father and mother before children's sadness.

title: Gender Stereotyping in Pretend Play among Children Adopted by Same-Sex Couples

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate gender stereotyping during episodes of spontaneous pretend play among children adopted by gay male couples. Gender stereotyping in children's play has been reported in different contexts, regarding discussions on their biological, cultural and individual determination. This work is a naturalistic observational study that involved 13 children aged 3-7 years during 16 observation sessions in a Day care playroom. A total of 123 episodes were analyzed, which were categorized by group's formation (number of participants and gender); type and theme of the play; and use of objects. Significant differences were found for all criteria that characterize the play as gender-typed. These findings corroborate other studies among children raised by heterosexual couples. Boys had episodes in larger groups and themes that required more use of space, while girls played in smaller groups and used more toys.

title: Do Work Values Predict Preference for Organizational Values?

description: Abstract The purpose of this research is to identify evidence that work values can predict organizational values preference, based on conceptual similarity proposed by the Theory of Values. A total of 254 Brazilian undergraduate students responded to the Organizational Values Scale and the revised Work Values Scale. Hierarchical regressions were run controlling for demographics. The results indicated significant explanation of variance for all organizational values. The most significant predictors were compatible with the hypotheses based on Schwartz's Theory of Values, revealing that work and organizational values are logically connected through an axiological structure. In conclusion, work values and preferred organizational values have adequate nominal commensurability for conducting Individual-Organization fit studies and implications for organizational socialization and vocational and career counseling.

title: Performance in Intelligence, Focused Attention and Personality in Different Groups of Drivers

description: Abstract This study attempted to identify differences in performance between groups of offending drivers, not offenders and drivers involved in accidents in intelligence, personality and focused attention, still evaluating the influence of the education level of the participants. Drivers in the process of renovation or addition of CNH category, a total of 319, of both sexes, with elementary school, high school and college, with ages ranging from 18 to 77 years (M = 40.62, SD = 10.8) comprised the sample. The results showed that the group variable (offenders, non offenders and involved in accidents) showed not significant for any of the measures considered, having been found significant influence of school level on measures of productivity (Palográfico) and intelligence (R1). The results suggest difficulties in differentiating group of drivers according to their performance on the instruments considered in this study.

title: Brazilian Preventive Programs: Who Does Them and How Does Prevention on Mental Health is Developed?

description: Abstract The goal of this study is to identify the Brazilian research centers where systematic preventive interventions are developed and describe the national program evaluation studies. For that, we conducted a systematic review of the national literature on two databases (Scielo and Pepsic), through the keywords "prevention", "basic care", "primary care" and " health promotion ", which resulted in 25 articles, describing 42 interventions. The results indicated a predominance of extensive interventions, with small samples, performed weekly, for promoting skills in children and adolescents in educational settings. Mostly, studies did not include follow-up assessments, neither discussed the implications of the findings for public policy. The researchers are mostly psychologists, affiliated to public universities in the Southeast region. It is concluded that the improvement of research networks and the expansion of exchanges between researches and public policy can foster the advancement of the area in the country.

title: Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS): Adaptation and Validity Evidence

description: Abstract Executive functions are skills that allow an individual to direct their cognitive, behavioral and emotional functioning to goal achievement. In order to evaluate them, there are few ecologically valid instruments. Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS) was developed to overcome this limitation. The objective of this study was to adapt and investigate BADS content validity for the Brazilian context. Three translations of the instrument from English into Portuguese were done, and were later synthesized into a single version to be sent to three judges. Subsequently, BADS was applied to a focus group (5 healthy adults) and a pilot study (40 clinical neurological patients, with Parkinson's Disease). The calculation of the total content validity coefficient was considered acceptable (&gt; 0.80); and the average coefficient kappa subtests was 0.55 and the survey was 0.75, moderate and solid, respectively. The data suggest that BADS can be used in further studies to investigate other psychometric properties as construct validity, reliability and standardization.

title: Validity Evidences of Brazilian Version of the Love Scale of Marriage and Relationships Questionnaire (MARQ)

description: Abstract Love is a feeling that includes different emotions and is responsible for the creation and maintenance of attachment bonds. Among the instruments developed to measure love, the Marriage and Relationship Questionnaire is noteworthy by its scope and replicability in different cultures. This questionnaire has 12 scales, of which the Love Scale was developed to assess the level of emotional attachment between partners in a romantic relationship. Our goal was to validate the Love Scale as an alternative measure of emotional attachment for Brazilian population. In this study, 176 individuals in a stable relationship participated. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted and verified one factor with high internal consistency, and relations with criteria questions as hypothesized. The scale was able to detect higher levels of emotional attachments between people who never thought to divorce compared to the ones who thought it more frequently. The adapted instrument showed satisfactory psychometrics properties for use in Brazil.
