title: Getting Started in Elementary School: Cognitive Competence, Social Skills, Behavior, and Stress

description: Abstract The entry into elementary education - EE - represents an important transition in child development. The study aimed to assess stability and change in indicators of academic achievement, general intelligence, social skills, behavioral adjustment, and stress between the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year of EE. The participants were 151 children (79 boys), longitudinally evaluated using the Social Skills Rating System, Raven's Progressive Matrices, Provinha Brazil, Child Stress Scale and the School Stressors Inventory. The results indicated at least moderate stability of the variables and a continuous increase in academic achievement. Girls showed better indicators of social skills and behavioral adjustment. Children showed more externalizing behaviors in the 1st year; more stress symptoms in the 2nd year; greater general intelligence, more academic social skills and fewer stress symptoms in the 3rd year. These trends suggest that the transition extends up to 2nd year, whereas developmental achievements are consolidated in the 3rd year.

title: Reading Comprehension for Students from the Third and Fourth Cycles of Basic Education

description: Abstract This study aimed at identifying reading comprehension of elementary school students and explore age, school year and gender related differences among the participants. The sample was composed of 240 students of both genders, with ages range between 10 and 17 years (M = 12.85; SD = 1.60), from the sixth to the ninth school year of a public school in an inner city in the state of São Paulo. An identification questionnaire and a text based activity using Cloze technique were applied collectively to students whose parents signed the informed consent. Results showed basic level of reading comprehension, among participants, far behind the expectation for their school grade level. Girls scored significantly higher when compared to boys. There was a significant increase in mean values due to the school year and the participants' ages.

title: Human Values and Manifest and Subtle Homophobic Attitudes

description: Abstract This study aimed to know to what extent human values are correlated with flagrant and subtle homophobia. The participants were 174 undergraduate students, with ages ranging from 17 to 56 years of age (M = 22.3, SD = 4.60), most of them female (57.6%). They answered the Explicit and Implicit Homophobia Scale, the Basic Values Survey and demographic questions. Multiple regressions were performed, indicating the predictive power of normative and promotion values for explaining subtle and general homophobia, whereas only normative values explained the flagrant homophobia. These constructs were responsible for accounting for approximately 10% of the variance in homophobic attitudes. In conclusion, values can be good predictors of homophobia, especially materialist values, enhancing the adequacy of the functional theory of values to explain socially deviant attitudes.

title: Job Crafting: A Review of International Scientific Production

description: Abstract Job crafting is a process of proactive actions to change the work, seeking to customize it to the values and interests of the individual. In this study we reviewed the international scientific literature on the construct, with a single descriptor “job crafting”, from 2000 to May 2015, in PsycINFO and EBSCO databases. We analyzed 34 articles following the criteria: year of publication, publishing journal, authorship, study type, method and instruments used. We tracked an increase of scientific publications, specifically quantitative empirical studies, driven by the development of measures. This diffusion of the publications was found in different journals, led by the Netherlands and the United States. We argue for the adaptation of Job crafting measures in Brazil.

title: Cognitive training for elderly: a systematic review of Brazilian research

description: Abstract This systematic review about cognitive training for healthy elderly adults aimed to analyze 23 Brazilian studies regarding their methodological aspects and the evidence of effectiveness of interventions. The studies were published between 2000 and 2015. A search was performed in Scielo, PubMed and PsycInfo databases using the terms (Portuguese and English): cognitive training, cognitive stimulation, aging, elderly, and Brazilian. In a second step, the references of retrieved articles were consulted to identify any additional relevant studies. Almost all studies used the group intervention modality (n = 20). The number of sessions with participants ranged from 2 to 48 meetings. Regarding the cognitive skills that were targeted for intervention, 60.8% of the studies (n = 14) were focused on episodic memory training. For cognitive measures, 90.4% of the studies (n = 20) included common domain scales (not restricted to psychologists). Regarding the results, 47.6% of studies (n = 10) identified training purposes for at least one cognitive measure used. In conclusion, the national scene in cognitive training for older adults stands out for a tendency for collective interventions aimed at stimulating episodic memory. The present article argues for the importance of testing the effectiveness of interventions protocols.

title: Development of the Perceptions of Future Retirement Scale (PFRS) and Psychosocial Correlates

description: Abstract Retirement is a field in ascending importance in Brazil due to demographic, socioeconomic and social security factors. The retirement process states as its first stage the perceptions about the transition. This paper aimed to develop and validate the Perceptions of Future Retirement Scale (PFRS). Development, face and construct validity assessment procedures were performed, followed by exploratory and confirmatory analysis and also comparison and correlation analysis. The participants were 982 workers, mostly male (65.1%, N=640) with mean age of 40.1 years (SD=10.5 years). Results of psychometric measurements confirmed the presumed 5 factors structure, with subscales of Health Perception, Detachment from Work, Finances, Interpersonal Relationships and Losses in Retirement. In general, results show better perceptions to be related to better contextual conditions of life. Uses and limitations of PFRS are presented.

title: Scale for Assessment of Beliefs about the Program More Doctors

description: Abstract This research aimed to create an instrument for assessing the effectiveness of the Programa Mais Médicos (PMM Program More Doctors), verifying the perceptions of a national non-probabilistic stratified sample of 643 Brazilians. Factor analysis was performed on the scale and the PMM assessment data were analyzed using descriptive, bivariate and multivariate statistics. The Principal Components method, indicating best psychometric values and theoretical explanation, with varimax rotation, structured the 35 items of dichotomous scale into 2 factors, which explain 56.92% of the total variance: “Structural and organizational aspects of the Programa Mais Médicos” (α = 0.96) and “The role of doctors in the Programa Mais Médicos” (α = 0.74). It is also contemplated that the effectiveness of PMM was negatively assessed. These findings reveal that the instrument is useful for evaluation of PMM, still short of instruments in the literature for its evaluation, and can be properly used in future studies.

title: Scale of Giftedness and Talent Identification: Internal Structural and Consistency

description: Abstract The study aimed to analyze the reliability and the evidences of validity based on the internal structure of the Scale of Giftedness and Talent Identification (Escala de Identificação de Dotação e Talento - EIDT). The EIDT is answered by teachers of 4th, 5th and 6th years of elementary school, including 16 teachers who evaluated 433 students. The results indicated that 54.8% of the variance was explained. Exploratory factor analysis was used for the final version of the scale, which was composed of 55 items divided into three factors: 42 items in Factor 1, intellectual abilities, social abilities and creativity; seven in factor 2, psychomotor abilities and six in factor 3, artistic abilities. The Cronbach’s alpha for the total scale was 0.97. Factor 1 showed an alpha of 0.97, factor 2 of 0.89, and factor 3 of 0.83. It highlights the need for additional studies including the confirmatory factor analysis and the establishment of standards.

title: Single-Item Self-Esteem Scale: Brazilian Adaptation and Relationship with Personality and Prosocial Behavior

description: Abstract The objective of this correlational study was to test the psychometric properties of convergent validity of the Single-Item Self-Esteem Scale (SISES). The correlation between the SISES and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE), which also measures self-esteem, and with scales that measure other variables (personality and prosocial behaviors) was also tested. A total of 203 students, aged 18 to 58 years (M=23.49, SD= 5.84), from public and private universities in the city of João Pessoa, participated in the study. The Pro-Socialness Scale (PSS), the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI), the SISES, the RSE, and a demographic questionnaire were used. The results showed that the Portuguese version of the SISES presents satisfactory validity. Therefore, as this study shows a correlation between self-esteem and personality traits and socio-demographic variables, it contributes to the scientific literature in this field and provides an alternative for measuring self-esteem.

title: Personal Belief in a Just World Scale: Adaptation and Evidence of Validity

description: Abstract Belief in a just world (BJW) has allowed for the comprehension of a series of social phenomena, which has lead to the development of measures for its measurement. The present article has the aim to present evidence of validity for a Portuguese version of Personal BJW Scale (BJW-P). 146 participants, most of them women (69%), with ages varying from 17 to 66 years (M = 27.79, DP = 13.67) answered PBJWP scale, four other scales (BJW-global, self-esteem, well-being, religiosity) for the convergent validity test and informed socio-demographic data. As in the original study, a uni-factorial solution and satisfactory internal consistency (α = 0.83) were found. Additionally, as expected, positive relations were found between PBJW and GBJW, self-esteem, and well-being, but only marginally significant with religiosity. Furthermore, positive relations of PBJW with income, as well as education, were found. The adapted version seems useful for research purposes.

title: Predictors of Marital Physical Violence: Personal and Relational Characteristics

description: Abstract Conjugal violence is a complex phenomenon that deserves attention because of its prevalence. The aim of this study was to verify the predictive power of the family-of-origin experiences, early maladaptive schemas, love, marital adjustment and family climate to marital physical violence occurrence. In this quantitative, correlational and explanatory study 186 men and 186 women took part, aged from 19 to 81 (M=41,17; SD=12,75). The instruments used measured general information, family of origin (FBQ), maladaptive schemes (YSQs), love (TLS), marital adjustment (DAS), family climate (FCI) and marital conflicts (CTS2). The results showed an association between the studied variables. In addition, the variables family conflict and sexual abuse in childhood were predictive of physical violence committed by women, while marital dissatisfaction was the predictor of marital violence committed by men. In view of the results, it can be established that the phenomenon of violence in intimate relationships is multidetermined, requiring attention from health professionals.

title: Psychological Capital Questionnaire - Short Version (PCQ-12): evidence of Validity of The Brazilian Version

description: Abstract This study aimed to show evidence of validity for the Brazilian short version (12 items) of the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ-12). Three independent samples participated in the study, totaling 1771 subjects (64.3% women, 32.9% men and 2.9% undeclared), aged 18-79 years (M = 38.59, SD = 12.98). Confirmatory factor analyses showed acceptable adjustment indices for the four-factor structure (self-efficacy, hope, resilience and optimism) and for a second-order structure with a general factor of psychological capital explaining the four primary factors. Multi-group confirmatory factor analyses found configural, metric and scalar invariance of the measure for the different samples as well as for men and women. Finally, convergent validity analyses found a positive and moderate correlation of PCQ-12 with satisfaction with life and subjective happiness, as well as a negative and moderate correlation with perceived stress and depression.

title: Psychometric Properties of the Intentions Toward Infidelity Scale (IIS)

description: Abstract This study aimed to adapt the Intentions Toward Infidelity Scale (IIS) to the Brazilian context, knowing its psychometric parameters. Two studies were carried out with people who were in a romantic relationship. Study 1 included 161 participants (mean age = 24.9), who responded to the IIS and demographic questions. Results indicated the one-factor solution for this scale (α = 0.85), whose items showed reasonable discriminative power (theta ranging from -0.5 to 3.0). Study 2 included 236 participants (mean age = 25.5), who answered the same instruments. Results supported the one-factor structure (e.g., CFI = .95 and TLI =.93), which showed invariant across sex (ΔCFI and ΔRMSEA &lt; 0.01). In conclusion, the findings supported the adequacy of the IIS items, but also indicated evidence of its factorial validity and internal consistency, favoring its use in studies looking to investigate the correlates of infidelity.
