title: Countertransferential Manifestations in the Therapeutic Process of a Patient with Borderline Personality

description: Abstract Patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) are typically unstable and intense in their feelings and behaviors, easily arousing negative emotional reactions in their therapists. Therefore, managing countertransference is essential for psychotherapy with these patients. The present systematic case study aims to describe countertransferential manifestations in the therapeutic process of the first year of a psychoanalytical therapy with a BPD patient, broadening the empirical knowledge on how countertransference interacts with the patient’s variables. The sessions (n=59) were codified by pairs of independent judges trained with the Psychotherapy Process Q-Set (PQS), a q-sort with 100 items that give a description of the patient, the therapist and of the interaction variables that typify the treatment. Experts in psychoanalytical psychotherapy selected six PQS items as indicative of countertransferential reactions and 12, as indicators of mental states and behaviors characteristic of patients with BPD. These items were examined in relation to time. Findings reveal predominance of therapeutic attitudes compatible with positive countertransference.

title: Characterization of Risk Factor Criminal Behavior in Convicts

description: Abstract The present study aims to characterize the risk factors, specially psychopathy, aggressiveness and personality, in Brazilian convicts inserted in resocialization activities. Participants included 48 male convicts with a mean age of 34.6 years (SD = 8.68) serving time in closed regime in a prison unit. The following instruments were applied: (1) Aggression Questionnaire Buss-Perry; (2) Inventory of the Big Five Personality - IGFP - 5; (3) Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Levenson Scale; and (4) Demographic Questionnaire. Compared with the literature, the results revealed a divergent profile from the typically reported, indicating low hostility, primary psychopathy and a personality characterized by amiability and openness to change. It was also observed that the time spent in resocialization activities was not related with the evaluated constructs. The unexpected pattern is discussed by comparing its divergence from the literature and we suggest the evaluation of this population by methods of social desirability control.

title: Are Brazilian Materialistic Adolescents Happy With Their Lives?

description: Abstract In our society, material values have been of great importance. Studies point out that too much appreciation of material goods (materialism) can negatively influence the development of individuals. This study investigates the levels of materialism and its relation with the levels of life satisfaction in adolescents of public and private schools in Porto Alegre. Participants included a total of 128 adolescents, aged 11 to 18 years (M = 13.80, SD = 1.74), 75% female. Two scales were administrated: EVM (Materialism) and EMSVA (Adolescence life satisfaction). The results indicated a significant inverse correlation between levels of materialism and family satisfaction (r = -0.550, p &lt;0.001) and school (r = -0.436, p &lt;0.001). According to the literature, these adolescents are more susceptible to illness and academic losses. We suggest that further studies use interviews with the participants.

title: To apologize: Categories and Effects on Three Types of Interpersonal Relationships

description: Abstract Despite the fact that apologies are seen as mechanisms of impression management in psychology, little is known about the dynamics of offering them (not only receiving) in different types of interpersonal relationships. Experimental apology scenarios in three independent conditions (interacting with a family member, a close friend, or a romantic partner) were responded by 239 participants, followed by measures of plausibility, responsibility and emotion, as well as Miller’s Social Intimacy Scale. Four major categories were found and tested in their associations with the interpersonal relationships. Apologies to family members showed external or internal causes, while the ones offered to romantic partners involved internal causes or reparation, and the ones offered to friends involved moral disengagement or external causes. No differences were found in responsibility, plausibility, and emotion. The role of apology for preventing interpersonal conflicts and the impact of situational and dispositional variables on social justification processes are discussed.

title: Factorial Invariance and Norming of the Overexcitabilities Scales

description: Abstract This study aimed to establish preliminary norms and verify the structure and factorial invariance of the Overexcitabilities Scales (OS) according to sex. It is a measure for the assessment of overexcitability - tendency to react intensely and sensitively to stimuli in Sensual, Psychomotor, Imaginative, Emotional, and Intellectual areas. Participants included 1500 elementary school students from five Brazilian states. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated good adjustment indices for the tested models, revealing the existence of 11 scales. Although there were differences regarding sex in the mean scores of some scales, confirmatory multigroup factor analysis indicated the factorial invariance of the measure in male and female groups. The preliminary norms were established by calculating the cumulative percentile for the total scores and sex. These results show adequate psychometric properties and represent progress for OES norming.

title: Development of the Dimensional Inventory of Child Development Assessment (IDADI)

description: Abstract Child development is complex and includes multiple domains, such as cognition, communication and language, motor skills, socialization, and emotional development. The objective of this paper was to present the development process of the Dimensional Inventory of Child Development Assessment (IDADI) and evidence of its content validity. IDADI was conceived to assess child development of children from zero to 72 months of age through parental reports covering Cognitive, Motor (Gross and Fine), Communication and Language (Receptive and Expressive), Socioemotional and Adaptive Behavior domains. The development process involved: description of the theoretical foundation; development of the preliminary version of the instrument; expert item analysis; semantic analysis of the items by the target population; and a pilot study. The initial item pool had 2,365 items and the final version consisted of 524, after exclusions, modifications and additions. The stages of development led to changes in most of the items. This process is considered to have ensured IDADI’s content validity. Thus, it is believed that IDADI will contribute to child development assessment in Brazil in clinical and research contexts.

title: Factorial Structure of the Frugality Scale: Exploratory Evidence

description: Abstract This article aims to promote an investigation of the psychometric properties of Frugality Scale adapted to Brazilian Portuguese. Frugality is characterized by using and consuming goods in a resourceful way, fully exploring its durability as well. To this end, 626 people responded to an online form that contained the frugality scale. Procedures such as non-graphical solutions to the scree plot, exploratory graphical analysis and a Schmid-Leiman factor solution point to evidence that the scale’s structure is not one-dimensional but two-dimensional. Finally, modeling strategies also indicate that a bifactor solution can be applied.

title: Professional Fulfillment: Concept and Instrument Proposition

description: Abstract This paper aims to propose a concept and an instrument of professional fulfillment (PF), which is theoretically defined as the perception of having attained or being on the right track for attaining one’s most important career goals. The Professional Fulfillment Scale (PFS) was developed in order to operationalize PF, being tested across two studies. Regarding Study 1, in which 406 workers took part, results from exploratory factor analysis evidenced construct validity for PFS. In Study 2, in which 270 workers took part, results from confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling presented satisfactory model fit indices for PFS. We conclude that both the professional fulfillment concept and the scale are useful for mapping people’s importance and achievement of career goals and evaluation of progress, working as a diagnostic tool for career management.

title: Workplace Emotion Regulation Measure (RE-Trab): Structure and Validity Evidence

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to develop a measure of emotion regulation in the workplace (RE-Trab). The measure was an adaptation of the ERP-Br - a reduced version of the Emotion Regulation Profile (ERP), that assesses two ways of regulating emotions: up-regulation (positive emotions) that predict greater use of adaptive than maladaptive strategies, and down-regulation (negative emotions) that predict greater use of functional strategies. than dysfunctional ones. A total of 480 workers from national and multinational Industries in Bahia participated in the survey. There is a latent general factor, Emotional Regulation at Work, and four first-order factors corresponding to the strategies to deal with work scenarios: adaptive and maladaptive (positive scenarios), functional and dysfunctional (negative scenarios). Acceptable internal reliability values were found for the scale’s dimensions. The results are discussed in light of the original model (two-factor), proposing suggestions for the revision of the items and future improvement of the instrument.

title: Influence of Career and Psychological Capital on Aspects of Life and Work

description: Abstract This research was developed with the objective of understanding the interrelationships between career psychological dimensions (negative thoughts and career adaptability), psychological capital and domains of work life (career success and perceived employability) and non-work (satisfaction with life). Two samples were used, the former consisting of 189 university students with a mean age of 21.44 years (SD = 3.33), and 65.1% were female. The latter group consisted of 312 upper-level employees with a mean age of 27.88 years (SD = 5.19), of which 51% were female. The results from structural equation models have demonstrated that for university students the working and non-working life contexts are influenced by adaptability and negative career thoughts. For workers, the results demonstrated the influence of negative career thoughts and the psychological capital. It is discussed applications for research and the context of career guidance and career development.

title: The WISC-IV Operational Memory Index in the Assessment of ADHD

description: Abstract The objective of the present study was to analyze the sensitivity of the “Operational Memory Index” (OMI) of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children- 4th Edition in the identification of difficulties in children and adolescents with the diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Participants included forty subjects, between 06 and 16 years old, with a previous neurological diagnosis of ADHD. We used the Swanson Attention Scale, Nolan and Pelham - 4th Edition (SNAP-IV) Parent Rating Scale for parents/guardians and the WISC-IV subtests that form the Operational Memory Index (Digits, Arithmetic and Sequence of Numbers and Letters). Among the results, IMO was lower when compared to the expected score for the general population and in Digits there was a lower performance by the group. It was concluded that the Operational Memory Index is adequate to diagnose and evaluate attention and memory deficits in children and adolescents with ADHD.
