title: Instruments to Screen the Early Signs of Autism: Systematic Review

description: Abstract The screening of early signs of autism is crucial for early diagnosis, allowing an effective intervention that allows an improvement in the development and quality of life of individuals with autism. The aim of this study was to identify the available instruments to screen signs of autism in children under 36 months of age. Therefore, a review of articles published between 2004 and 2015 was conducted in the electronic databases SciELO, PubMed, Lilacs and PsycINFO. 11 instruments were found in 34 articles analyzed, and only one instrument has been translated into Portuguese, indicating an absence of these instruments in Brazil. Considering the importance of early identification and diagnosis of autism for improving the quality of life of individuals with autism, it seems essential that studies of early screening instruments need to be conducted in the country.

title: Values as predictors of life satisfaction in youths

description: Abstract In a functionalist perspective, values are a cognitive expression of human needs as well as principles that guide behaviors to personal, social or general life goals, whose psychosocial impact deserves more investigation. This study aimed to analyze whether the type of values orientation predicts life satisfaction in 562 Portuguese youths (n = 303, 53.9% women) aged 14 to 22 years (M = 16.9; SD = 1.71), attending high school studies, being 63.7% technical and (36.3%) regular high school. Students completed the Basic Values Survey and the Satisfaction With Life Scale. The results of the linear regression analyzes indicate that the values orientation explains less than a quarter of life satisfaction variability, which indicated the need to further analyze its explanatory power together with other variables, such as, personality and socio-cognitive..

title: Social Representations and Rural Sociability Among Farmers of a Rural Community

description: Abstract Guided by the Social Representation Theory, this study aims at investigating rural social representations among farmers in State of Espírito Santo Brazil by analyzing the semantic field associated to the representational object “rural person”; the organizational principles of individual attitude in face of shared content; and the anchoring processes. Two hundred (200) residents, aged between 7 and 81, belonging to four generations of a rural community participated in individual interviews in this study. The results analyzed using software SPAD-T showed that rural sociability is represented from the positive association to the agricultural and community spheres, as well as from the negative comparison between country and city life, which causes feeling of depreciation and critical evaluation about the poor investments in rural areas. It also identified that personal and community values strengthen the positive image of rural identity, showing strategies to maintain the country way of life among different generations in this community.

title: Three-Factor Scale of Social Identity: Evidence of its Psychometric Adequacy

description: Abstract The objective of this study was to verify empirical evidence of the psychometric (validity and reliability) adequacy of the ThreeFactor Scale of Social Identity (ETIS), based on two studies. The sample in study 1 was composed by 465 military policemen from the Brazilian Federal District, 88% male, with mean age of 38.78 years (SD=7.08). They filled the questionnaire with the ETIS and demographic questions. Using a Principal Components Analysis, a three-factor structure was observed, with Cronbach’s alphas of 0.83 (centrality), 0.82 (affect) and 0.86 (ties). The sample in study 2 was composed by 451 military policemen from the Brazilian Federal District, 88.7% male with a mean age of 39.25 years (SD=6.73). The three-factor structure was tested through Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The adjustment indexes were satisfactory (Χ2/g.l.=2.67; CFI=0.98; GFI=0.98; RMSEA=0.061). Reliability, measured by Jöreskog’s Rho, was adequate, being 0.87 (centrality), 0.87 (affect), and 0.91 (ties). The indicators of the exploratory and confirmatory study demonstrated satisfactory psychometric adequacy. Finally, ETIS showed convergent and discriminant validity for the professional context.

title: Building the Father-Infant Bond: The Experience of Fathers

description: Abstract The purpose of this article was to discuss the subjective experiences of men during the establishment of the father-infant bond. We conducted a qualitative research, in which we interviewed eight men who recently became fathers, aged between 24 and 36, members of the middle class from the city of Rio de Janeiro. Eight theme categories emerged from the analysis of the interviews: mother is mother; being a “solo father”: conflicting demands; patriarch and caretaker; the pregnant man; ultrasound as a rite of passage; the birth of the father; the construction of a bond; and from individuals to family. In this paper we will discuss the last three categories, which are directly related to the purpose of this article. We verified that fathers are increasingly asserting their desire to participate during pregnancy and in the birth of their children and that the daily exchanges between father and child, since birth, facilitate the establishment of the father-infant bond.

title: Factorial Study about Parental Practices and Beliefs Inventory

description: Abstract The goal of this study was to seek for evidence of validity for the Parental Practices and Beliefs Inventory (IPCp), using confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis. Two studies were carried out involving 509 participants, mostly mothers,. The first study included 247 parents, and the second, 262. In the first study an exploratory factor analysis was conducted, which originated a final group of 15 items distributed in two factors: parental practices and parental beliefs. The Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients were, respectively, 0.820 and 0.788. In the second study, a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted and the results confirmed that the two-factor model suggested in the first study and since grouped as indicated, provides the best possible fit for these data. Despite the good psychometric indicators obtained, further studies about this inventory are still necessary.

title: Training in Psychology and the Institutional Scientific Initiation Scholarship Program

description: Abstract This study has investigated how the Institutional Scientific Initiation Scholarship Program (PIBIC, in Portuguese), strategic initiative for research training at the undergraduate level, contributes to the formation of psychologists. Electronic questionnaires were sent to the PIBIC scholarship students of psychology in Brazil (622; 104 answered), containing questions about developed activities and tutoring. Scientific production was also investigated through their Lattes (curriculum vitae). Results show that: (1) students perform technical activities and reflective ones; (2) 50% execute a personal scientific project; and (3) 25% of the students have published scientific articles or book chapters, demonstrating that they are possibly excluded from this phase of the research process. However, the proximity with the advisor is related to the accomplishment of tasks, which contributes to a reflective training. Finally, it is emphasized the potential role for the undergraduate education to develop more critical psychologists able to propose contextualized practices.

title: Validity evidences for an entrepreneurial competences inventory to junior entrepreneurs

description: Abstract This paper was designed to verify evidences of validity for an entrepreneurial competences inventory for junior entrepreneurs in Brazil. Participants included 796 junior entrepreneurs. They answered an online questionnaire, containing the inventory of entrepreneurial competences of Man and Lau, which was previously adapted into Portuguese from Portugal and readapted into Brazilian Portuguese in this study. Exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were carried out with two subsamples of 398 participants. EFA indicated a five-factor structure, explaining 75% of the variance. Such a structure also presented satisfactory goodness-of-fit indexes in the CFA (χ2/gl= 2.58, p

title: Dark Triad Dirty Dozen: Assessing its Parameters Through IRT

description: Abstract The present study aimed to explore the psychometric parameters of the Dirty Dozen through the Item Response Theory (IRT), using the Graduated Response Model. Participants included 284 individuals, with a mean age of 24.2 years (SD = 8.76). Initially the dimensionality of the scale was checked and results that support a three-oblique-factor structure were found (CFI = 0.99; TLI = 0.98; RMSEA = 0.03). Therefore, IRT analyses were performed separately for each factor. Then, it was verified that the items discriminate participants properly, being those items belonging to the narcissism factor the ones mostly endorsed; Machiavellianism and psychopathy demanded a greater amount of theta in order to agree with the item content, perhaps because these traits are socially undesirable. It is considered that the aims of the study were achieved, providing evidence of this short measure through the IRT, showing the possibilities of its use in future studies.

title: Racial prejudice and social values: how I perceive others and myself

description: Abstract The process of attribution values to some groups can be used as a resource for determining differences between ingroup and outgroup, what may lead to discriminatory behavior against the outgroup. In this sense, the present study sought to determine whether individuals perceive dissimilarities between the values attibuted to themselves, to white and to black people, and if these dissimilarities can follow a prejudice-based logic, expressing subtle racial prejudice. Study 1 (n = 220) aimed to rank the values in terms of socio-economic progress, identifying values that are representative of developed and underdeveloped countries. Study 2 (n = 420) evaluated whether the values attibuted to themselves, to the black and to the white are different and this difference follows a prejudice-based. Overall, results showed a tendency towards the association of third world values such as collectivism to blacks, and first world values such as individualism to whites.

title: Housing conditions and the degree of home satisfaction of elderly riverside residents of the Amazon region

description: Abstract At the crossroads of environmental psychology and social gerontology, this descriptive and exploratory study investigates the housing conditions of the elderly who live close to an Amazonian river and assesses their degree of satisfaction with their housing. Using four instruments, we study 23 elderly residents of the river islands of the municipality of Cametá, Pará, Brazil. Despite high territorial isolation, low socioeconomic status, and largely inappropriate housing conditions, the results reveal the elderly’s overall satisfaction with their home environment, except in relation to accessibility and safety. The data of this study give larger visibility to people’s main needs in this context and provide relevant information for the planning of social and health policies aimed at bettering the quality of this stage of the life span.
