title: Effects of Modeling and Positive Reinforcement on Children’s Fruit Consumption

description: Abstract This study evaluated the effects of modeling (videos) and consequences on fruit consumption of three preschool children. In Experiment 1, videos were presented, and subsequently, consequences. In Experiment 2, consequences were programmed, then videos and consequences were presented together. In Experiment 1, consumption was greater during presentation of consequences; in Experiment 2, videos and consequences together produced higher consumption than only consequences, suggesting an enhancing effect of videos. Gradual change in the intermittence of consequences reduced consumption for three participants in Experiment 1, but increased consumption for the two participants affected by the interventions in Experiment 2. Consumption was greater in BLII, compared to BLI, but it was lower than during interventions, indicating temporary effect of such interventions on consumption.

title: Self-Efficacy and Memory Assessment in Elderly: An Exploratory Analysis

description: Abstract It is an exploratory, cross-sectional and quantitative study whose objective was to verify memory and self-efficacy alterations in 110 older adults, with a mean of 70.50 years. We used a sociodemographic questionnaire, a subjective memory perception test, the Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire, and The Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test. The seniors were evaluated in a single moment, individually, for about 60 minutes. The results of the memory test were within the expected standards for age and schooling, with a slightly inferior performance in working memory and negative perception of memory self-efficacy (82.70%). Such performance was associated with subjective memory complaints (99.10%), which can be explained by socio-cultural paradigms negatively linked to the aging process.

title: Behavior Problems in Four-Year-Old Children from a Brazilian Birth Cohort

description: Abstract This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of behavior problems in 3750 four years old children from a birth cohort. Children were followed from birth to four years old through home visits, and questionnaires on child health and development and the Child Behavior Checklist 4-18/CBCL were applied. Prevalence rates were high (total problems 35.6%), particularly externalizing problems, which occurred in 44.4 % of children (48.3% girls; 40.6% boys; p &lt; 0.001). Internalizing problems were less prevalent, occurring in 15.5 % of children (19.1% boys; 11.6% girls; p &lt; 0.001). Regardless of sex, there was a higher prevalence of behavioral problems in children with younger siblings, whose mothers had less education and had no partner.

title: Primary School Children’s Multiples Intelligences Assessment

description: Abstract This study aims to evaluate Portuguese primary school children multiple intelligences. The participants were 112 children from public Portuguese schools, aged from six to ten years old, 61% male. The instrument used was the Portuguese adaptation of Laura Candler Multiple Intelligence Survey for Kids. After translation and retro translation, the scale was applied to the children, individually or in small groups. The results show that visuospatial, kinesthetic, naturalistic and interpersonal are the intelligences with higher values. There are no differences between gender except on linguistic-verbal and musical intelligences, with the girls presenting higher values. Data show the existence of all intelligences proposed by Howard Gardner, with variations among the children.

title: Prediction of Potential Higher Education Dropout in Employed and Unemployed Undergraduate Students

description: Abstract Higher education dropout is a relevant problem. Many students do not complete college because of financial and psychosocial issues. We aimed to identify predictors of the reasons for potential dropout of higher education among 385 university students employed and 397 unemployed. We showed that the reasons for the potential dropout of higher education in the sample are related to factors as vocational, career, academic performance, interpersonal and lack of support. This evidence demonstrates that predictors related to the type of institution, study financing, self-evaluation and levels of satisfaction with course, financial condition and professional choice predict the college dropout potential among students who work and do not work. Thus, it is necessary to plan public policies that cover these variables and consider the specificities of these groups while formulating policies and practices with the purpose of maximizing student’s permanence in higher education and optimizing their professional trajectory planning.

title: Effect of Words Highlighting in School Tasks upon Typical ADHD Behaviors

description: Abstract Behavioral interventions in classroom are relevant to the educational process of students with ADHD. It is in this context that typical disorder’s behaviors are especially problematic and contribute to high rates of school failure and dropout. The aim of the present study was to analyze the effect of word highlighting on inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity of three elementary students with ADHD. A multiple baseline design combined with a reversal design was used. Reduction in the frequency of the behaviors of interest and higher frequency of correct answers in school tasks were observed when words were highlighted. The results replicate and extend data of previous studies. The application of the intervention with different contents and tasks is proposed.

title: Assessment of the Therapeutic Evolution of Psychiatric Patients through Rorschach Psychodiagnosis

description: Abstract The present work aims to constitute an important contribution to the scientific proof of the effectiveness of psychiatric and psychotherapeutic interventions, through the Rorschach test. A clinical sample of 10 psychiatric patients, admitted and followed at the Day Hospital of a psychiatric hospital in the North of Portugal, where the psychoanalytic orientation intervention model is followed. The data were collected in two moments: upon admission, a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire and Rorschach's projective proof were applied; after three months of treatment, Rorschach was re-applied, followed by a survey of exclusion criteria and patient evaluation on the therapeutic program.The comparative analysis of the data showed a slight therapeutic evolution and personality functioning.

title: Intervention Protocol Based on Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change for Metabolic Syndrome

description: Abstract The present study is the translation and adaptation of an intervention based on the Transtheoretical Model of Change directed to patients at cardiovascular risk. The original 29-session manual was translated into Portuguese, extended to 36 sessions, and applied in a pilot study. The protocol was reduced to 12 sessions through the grouping based on the processes of change. The products of the present study were the processes in each behavior, the versatility of the protocol, the interdisciplinary work, the great cost-benefit, and the potential of effectiveness. Finally, the importance of consistent training in Motivational Interview, Transtheoretical Model and group management for proper use are highlighted, and the costs and benefits of protocols versus more flexible treatments are discussed.

title: Paternity and Parenting in the Context of Eating Disorders: An Integrative Literature Review

description: Abstract Family relationships seem to have relevant contribution to the etiopathogenesis of Eating Disorders (EDs). This study aimed to analyze the scientific production about the paternity and parenting experiences of fathers whose daughters developed EDs. The literature review was conducted through the databases LILACS, PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science and EMBASE, in the period from 1999 to 2019. From the 878 retrieved papers, 23 were selected for the analysis. The results show that paternity and parenting experiences are influenced by father’s personality traits. The dominant representation is of an affectionless and not empathetic father, as well as punitive and insensitive to the daughter’s emotional needs. Knowing the paternal experiences is central to subside sensible care to both, daughters’ and fathers’ demands.

title: The Operationalized Portage Inventory (OPI): Systematic Review

description: Abstract The goal of the present paper is to systematically review the use of the Operationalized Portage Inventory (OPI) instrument to measure children’s development from 0-6 years, in Brazilian publications. Using the PRISMA-P methodology, databases were assessed in Portuguese (Capes, BVS-Psychology, BVS-Bireme, Redalyc, Google Scholar) from 2002 to 2016. Forty-two studies were analyzed in terms of goals, procedures, design, results and limitations. Twelve papers were characterized as descriptive, 14 were correlational, and 16 involved intervention assessment. Studies suggested the OPI to be useful in describing and/or evaluating repertoires of 976 children with 19 different syndromes and 7 diverse risk conditions. More methodological rigor is recommended in future studies using the OPI.

title: Adolescents, Street, Drugs and Psychoactive Substances: A Study on Risk and Protection

description: Abstract The article describes the consumption of psychoactive substances (PSs) by street-involved children and adolescents (SCA) in three Brazilian state capitals and examines adverse life events due to drug involvement. The longitudinal study included 108 SCA (9-18 years old, both sexes), grouped according to the main reason for going to the street: drugs, caregivers, escape, work and freedom. It also discusses the impact of drugs, trafficking and the place that this theme has occupied in public policies, social interventions and the life trajectory of these participants, through a case study. It is intended that these data can support the operation of interventions and the formulation of public policies that guarantee integral protection.

title: Executive Functions in the Prediction of Academic Performance in Elementary Education

description: Abstract The study investigated predictive models of reading and arithmetic based on performance and functional measures of executive functions (EF’s). Ninety-four children (mean age = 6.14y) were evaluated through EF performance tests. Parents and teachers responded to a functional measure of EF. Two years later, children’s reading and arithmetic were evaluated. There were low correlations between EF and later academic performance. For the reading model, inhibition was a relevant variable, with no gain in the prediction with the joint consideration of different EF measures. For arithmetic, attention and delay aversion presented a relevant contribution. When functional measure was considered, the model’s prediction increased. The study indicated skills of interest in identifying children at risk of poor academic performance.

title: Perception of students with disabilities who had different levels of stress

description: Abstract The article aimed to describe the perception of students with disabilities at the Federal University of Pará who presented different levels of stress. Eleven of the 29 students with stress and 8 of the 21 without stress participated in the study. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Perceived Stress Scale and the interview script were applied to identify what causes stress in the academic context. Students with high levels of stress were less positive than the ones with low levels of stress. It was concluded that both students with high levels of stress and with low levels of stress have emotional and physical problems when the university context does not provide adequate accessibility to their special educational needs.
