title: Word Teaching Strategies in Story Reading for Preschool Children

description: Abstract Shared book reading (SBR) as a teaching practice produces significant effects on development of verbal repertoires in children, especially when associated with strategies of explicit vocabulary teaching. This study aimed to test the cumulative effects of using word teaching strategies, during SBR sessions, on word learning by preschool children. Three sessions of SBR of the same story and a session of complementary activity about the words of the story read were carried out in a class of 13 children aged 4 to 5 years. It was identified significant children’s gains, between pre and post-test, in matching-to-sample tasks for nouns and in naming tasks, both for nouns and for verbs. The results confirm the effectiveness of using word teaching strategies during SBR and their feasibility in the natural classroom context.

title: Adaptation a Scale of Evaluation of Perceptual Anomalies for Brazil

description: Abstract The purpose of this research was to adapt the Structured Interview for Assessing Perceptual Anomalies (SIAPA) for use in Brazil as a self-report tool. A non-probabilistic sample of 854 undergraduate students was used, mostly men (51.4%) and aged between 16 and 65 years (M = 23.7, SD = 6.8). After the translation and semantic validation of SIAPA, the validity and precision parameters were tested by means of factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha coefficients, and Item Response Theory (IRT) analysis. The results confirmed the psychometric adequacy of the measure, pointing to a one-dimensional solution with high loads on the general factor and high accuracy (α = 0.88; Ω = 0.88). It is believed that the proposed objective was satisfied, so that at the end of the investigation there was a valid and reliable measure that can be used, both for screening and research, to understand and diagnose perceptual anomalies.

title: Depressive Symptomatology, Stress and Anxiety in University Students

description: Abstract The levels of depressive symptoms, stress, and anxiety have grown all over the world compromising the quality of life and well-being of people of a wide age range. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the levels of these symptoms in 410 students (233 were beginners and 177 were graduating students) of a federal public university in the countryside of the state of Pernambuco, to verify whether being at the beginning or end of the course may interfere in such levels. The following instruments were used: sociodemographic questionnaire, IDATE, EBADEP, EPS-10, and SRQ-20 collectively applied in the classroom. The results showed signs of mental suffering (53.9%), prevalence of anxiety (43.4% anxiety-state, 42% anxiety-trace), moderate stress levels (M=20.68 beginners, M=20.31 graduating), and low rates of depressive symptoms (0.6%). No statistically significant difference was identified with regard to the constructs considering the beginning and end of the course, showing that the university environment seems not to be unhealthy, but other variables should be investigated that may be related to that period.

title: Construction and Evaluation of a Career Planning Intervention for College Students

description: Abstract This study aims to present the development and evaluation of a group intervention in the area of career planning aimed at university students, based on the Hope-Action Theory model. A total of 35 students (22 in the intervention group and 13 in the comparison group) participated, aged between 19 and 48 years (M = 23.46; SD = 5.38), both sexes. The experimental group presented more robust changes in terms of effect size in the variables that evaluated a positive orientation to the future (hope and optimism) and aspects related to career adaptability. We discussed the importance of interventions aimed at undergraduate students and their challenges, considering the interface with mental health, besides the importance of interventions based on consistent theoretical models and with instruments that are able to evaluate them.

title: Internal Structure of the Cognitive Anxiety Scale (ECOGA)

description: Abstract This study aimed to investigate evidence of internal structure validity for the Anxiety Cognitive Scale (ECOGA) by Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). The sample consisted of 874 participants, 656 of the general population, 179 of health institutions and 39 of private practices with a diagnostic hypothesis of anxiety disorders. Men comprised 55% of the total sample, which was also mostly single (61.1%) and with incomplete higher education (46%). The parallel analysis of this scale, initially containing 73 items, showed the existence of up to 4 factores, the MAP with 3 and the Hull with 1 grouping of items. Analyses with 3 and 4 factors (theoretically acceptable) were performed, using factor loads above 0.40 and 0.50. The most appropriate theoretical and psychometric model comprised 31 items and 3 factors, with a minimum factor load of 0.50. Indexes of fit (CFI, GFI, RMSEA), unidimensionality (UNICO, MIREAL) and reliability (Orion, Cronbach) complemented the appropriate psychometric properties of this version.

title: Development and investigation of validity evidence for Children’s Resilience Markers

description: Abstract Resilience is a valuable tool for coping with adverse situations. However, there is no instrument available in Brazil to assess children’s resilience. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a resilience test for children between 8 and 12 years old, and to investigate its content validity and its adequacy to the target population, conducting a pilot study. Twenty children from public and private schools took part in the test’s construction. A total of 16 judges participated in the validity study, and 43 children from a public school took part in the pilot study. The results enabled the selection of 3 alternatives for each item, and 27 out of the 30 items were adequate for this measure. It was observed the adequacy of the instrument for the target population. These results support the perception that the methodological choices made in the instrument’s development process were adequate. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that the instrument has good potential, and further studies should be developed to deepen the understanding of its psychometric qualities.

title: Psychometric Properties of Attitudes to Moral Decision-making Young Sport Questionnaire (AMDYSQ) for the Brazilian Sports Context

description: Abstract This research aimed to validate the Attitudes to Moral Decision-making in Youth Sport Questionnaire (AMDYSQ) for the Brazilian context using 2 studies. In Study 1, whose participants included 181 young athletes; an Exploratory Factor Analysis identified 3 factors consistent with the original study. Internal consistency indexes (Cronbach’s alpha) were acceptable for 2 factors (Cheating: α = 0.72; Unsportsmanlike conduct: α = 0.74), in the Fair victory factor this index was slightly below the acceptable (α =0.55). In Study 2, we sought to prove the factorial structure of AMDYSQ, with a new sample of 242 young athletes. We performed a Confirmatory Factor Analysis, where the results showed indicators of fit of the model according to the recommended in the literature: χ2 (62) = 99.820, p &lt; 0.005, χ2/gl = 1.61, GFI = 0.94, AGFI = 0.91, TLI = 0.96; CFI = 0.97 and RMSEA = 0.05 (90% CI, 0.03 - 0.06). Thus, the study showed evidence of validity for the AMDYSQ for the Brazilian context; however, new validity studies should be performed with this instrument.

title: Psychometric properties of the Comprehensive Assessment of Sadistic Tendencies (CAST) in Brazil

description: Abstract The objective of the study was to collect psychometric evidence for the Comprehensive Assessment of Sadistic Tendencies (CAST) in Brazil. The results of the Exploratory Factor Analysis indicated a unifactorial solution with adequate reliability and moderate to high discrimination items, covering a wide range of the latent trait. Correlations of the CAST with the Dark Triad, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and with the factors of the aggression scale are evidence of convergent validity. Moreover, sadism significantly increases the explanation of aggressive behavior. Bearing in mind the development of studies on the Dark Tetrad, the four most informative items of the CAST combined with the 12 items of the Dirty Dozen were tested using a Confirmatory Factor Analysis and presented acceptable indexes of fit. Overall, the findings gather evidence of psychometric suitability of the CAST and provide a short and efficient tool to assess the Dark Tetrad.

title: Use of Instagram, Social Comparison, and Personality as Predictors of Self-Esteem

description: Abstract In the face of a population that is increasingly connected electronically, the objective of this research was to test the predictive power of Instagram’s use intensity, social comparison and the five major personality factors of self-esteem. The survey, made available on the internet with sociodemographic questions and four scales, was answered by 625 Brazilians, of which 63.7% were women. The results indicated neuroticism and social comparison (abilities factor) as negative predictors of self-esteem. Extraversion, agreeableness, consciousness, social comparison (opinions factor), and age were shown to be positive predictors of self-esteem. For women, the higher the intensity of Instagram’s use, the lower the levels of self-esteem. The negative relationship between self-esteem and the intensity of Instagram use was mediated by social comparison (suppression effect). It is suggested that the harm of using the social network relates to the activity of comparing himself to other people.

title: Risk and protective factors in school: Failure and future expectations of young in Pará

description: In this study we investigate the relations existing amid school failure, perceptions concerning the school and expectations of future among young people, from data of a sample of 610 young people with ages between 14 and 24 years (m=16,56; dp=2,37), of both sexes, students from public schools of Belém city in Pará state. A questionnaire with 77 multiple choice questions was used. The results revealed that almost half of students already presented school failure, although they present good perception concerning the school. Correlations between school disapproval and low expectations of academic future and between good perceptions concerning the school and best academic expectations were observed. The expectation of having access to the university appeared more associated to female sex. The results may contribute to the understanding of the importance of the school in promoting protective factors in the learners development.

title: Positive and negative affects of teachers from different educational levels

description: In this study we aim at comparing positive and negative affects of teachers from different educational levels. 101 teachers participated in this study, being 83.2% (n=84) female with an average age of 39.3 years (SD=9.8). The instrument used was the Escala de Afetos Zanon - EAZ. Teachers were co-opted in the workplace, and the applications occurred both individually and collectively. In order to carry out the analysis, we used ANOVA method, by analyzing profiles of repeated measurements. Among the most relevant results, it was observed that positive affects were more present in the sample in question. We also found that educators from Kindergarten had less positive affect than others, a factor that may have been influenced by singularities perceived by the participants, for example relating to remuneration, working hours and career plan. No differences were found regarding gender and age group. We argue that further studies on this issue are necessary.

title: Avaliação do desempenho escolar de crianças contaminadas por chumbo

description: The lead contamination in children has been the subject of research in the field of public health. This study evaluated the academic performance of 102 children from first to fourth grade. The subjects were divided into two groups. The first group was composed of 34 children without lead poisoning or with poison at levels lower than 5 μg/dl. The second group was composed of 68 children with blood lead levels between 10 and 40 μg/dl. The instruments used to evaluate the academic performance were anamnesis and a scholarly performance test called Teste de Desempenho Escolar, TDE. The results indicated better academic performances from the second group with significant differences in arithmetic, reading and general scores. In a comparison between genders, the girls had better performances than the boys. These results were consistent with the parents’ perception in anamnesis. Although other variables were present, the data showed great academic damage for children with higher lead-poison. These outcomes require political policies to control contamination and intervention in this population.
