title: Pink and Blue: Sex and Age in the Pfister's Test

description: Abstract As one of the indicators of emotional dynamics in the Color Pyramid Test of Pfister is related to the color choices, it is important to check whether age or gender are related to the choice of colors, under the influence of cultural factors. Among the possibilities, this work emphasizes the prevalent idea in the occidental culture that pink was the color for girls and blue would be the color of the boys. To achieve this goal, we compared the use of different shades of blue and red in Pfister tests of 734 children and adults of both genders. The female participants showed a preference for lighter shades, which is socially attributed to femininity, and male participants in darker colors, suggesting emotional control. It was also observed increased lighter shades among boys when compared to men and darker shades for girls in relation to women. It suggests that the choice of the colors differ among sex and age, specially the pink and blue, according some cultural influences.

title: Social Kills of Undergraduates Without Mental Disorders: Academic and Socio-Demographic Variables

description: Abstract Literature shows a lack of studies regarding the influence of academic and socio-demographic characteristics in social skills of students without mental disorders. The aim of this work was to characterize and compare the social skills of university students without indicators of mental disorder, according to the academic and socio-demographic variables. The participants were 461 students from both genders and various areas, without mental disorders, based on the criteria of a structured clinical interview. Social skills were evaluated through the QHC-Universitários. Data was compared using statistical procedures. The students of full-time human science courses, those in the intermediate/final years and females were more skillful. The employed students from evening courses reported more skills in speaking in public, while living with other students seemed to promote more confrontation skills.

title: Learning Strategies in Vocational Technical Education

description: Abstract This research focuses on the adaptation of the validated scale of Learning Strategies, aimed at primary school, so that it would enable raising factorial validity evidence for its use in professional technical education. We also sought to assess the learning strategies employed by these students. 709 students participated in the vocational technical education from a private institution and other of federal government. Through the results, it was possible to demonstrate the validity of the instrument that confirmed the three-factor structure in the exploratory factor analysis, pointed out in previous studies. The Cronbach alphas for the whole scale (.74), subscales Lack of Learning Strategies (.77) and Cognitive Strategies (.73) were acceptable except for the Metacognitive Strategies subscale (.57). The study also found that a significant proportion of students reported use of learning strategies, especially the use of cognitive strategies. The data were discussed in the light of psych educational implications.

title: So, Morphological Awareness Contributes to Reading in Brazilian Portuguese?

description: Abstract The present study aims to answer a recently raised controversy regarding the role that morphological awareness has to reading skills acquisition in Brazilian Portuguese. The aim was to investigate whether morphological awareness contributes to reading after controlling for non-verbal intelligence and phonological awareness in Brazilian Portuguese variables. The study included 52 elementary school students enrolled in a public school in the municipality of São Gonçalo, state of Rio de Janeiro. The hierarchical regression analyses showed that derivational morphological awareness contributes to reading independently of phonological processing and non-verbal ability. The results of this study indicate that morphological awareness contributes to reading words but not to reading comprehension. The results of this study corroborate with the hypothesis that even in an alphabetic language, such as Portuguese, morphological awareness is important to reading acquisition.

title: The Impact of Transactional and Transformational Leadership Style on Organizational Citizenship Behaviors

description: Abstract We investigated the impact of transactional and transformational leadership styles on organizational citizenship behaviors. The sample consisted of 213 workers of both genders who answered the Multifactorial Leadership Scale and the Organizational Citizenship Behaviors (OCB) Scale. The multiple linear regression showed that: the transactional leadership style positively predicted the OCB dimension associated to the creation of a climate favorable to the organization in the external environment; the transformational leadership style positively predicted the dimensions of OCB associated to the creative suggestions related to the system; to the creation of a favorable organizational climate in the external environment; to self-training and to cooperation among colleagues; transformational leadership style showed greater predictive power on OCB than transactional leadership. It was concluded that transformational leaders are more capable to lead their subordinates in order to take actions that go beyond their prescribed roles.

title: Relations Between Parents' Marital Relationships, Son's Marital Relationships and Subjective Well-Being

description: Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the relations between the measure of marital relationships of parents, as perceived by married children, and measures of subjective well-being and satisfaction in romantic relationships. There were 118 Brazilian married individuals (M = 16.17 years; SD = 9.98), with a mean age of 41.55 (SD =10.01). The instruments used were: Scale of Subjective Well-being, Conjugality Parental Questionnaire and Scale Factor Satisfaction with Couple Relationships. We calculated the correlations between measurements of continuous variables of the factors of the instruments by Spearman coefficient, which indicated that the perception of sons and daughters on the parents' marital is not correlated with other variables. The marital relationship satisfaction was correlated with positive affect, highlighting the need to close readings of individual transformations from one's own marital experience.

title: Quality of Life and Depressive Symptomatology in Mothers of Individuals with Autism

description: Abstract This study aimed to investigate the Quality of Life (QOL) and the presence of the depressive symptoms in mothers of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Participants included 40 women, between 28 and 72 years old, married, with medium-low income and education levels, and with children between 10 and 40 years old. The instruments used were a social demographic and health characterization questionnaire, the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-Bref) questionnaire, the Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Hopelessness Scale (BDI-II and BHS), and the Baptista Depression Scale Adult Version (EBADEP A). The quality of life and the presence of depressive symptoms in mothers did not show significant correlation with the child's age. However, there was high and negative correlation between the quality of life and high levels of depressive symptoms and moderate correlation between environment and income. It concludes the necessity of preventive and therapeutic interventions for these mothers.

title: Experiences and Representations about Crack: An Approach to Female Drug-Users

description: Abstract This research aimed at knowing and evaluating crack-related social representations as elaborated by under-treatment drug-addicts, using the Theory of Social Representations. 45 crack-users on an internship program in Therapy Communities and Rehabilitation Centers in the States of PB and PE participated in the referred study. As instruments for this approach, a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were used. The data was analyzed by the Alceste software. Outcomes showed that crack is represented as a devastating and disaggregating element that leads to the abandonment and digression of female functions. It was also highlighted that the figure of the female user is accounted as a major moral-order problem, resulting in a depreciative representation. These constructions, as being individual and social at the same time, lead to a great influence over how society sees the female drug-addict, strengthening social barriers which make it difficult to achieve treatment, and the recovery of the user.

title: The Relations between the Development of Gratitude and Types of Values in Youth

description: Abstract We studied the relations between the development of gratitude and types of values. A total of 396 7- to 14-year-old youth group responded to the Wishes and Gratitude Survey. We expected that, with the increase in age, there would be (a) a decrease of hedonistic values and (b) a decrease of concrete gratitude and an increase in connective gratitude. Our third hypothesis was that it would be more likely for the young with hedonistic values express concrete gratitude and those with values related to the well-being of others (WBO) to express connective gratitude. To test these hypotheses we used regression analysis (curve estimation and logistic regression). With an increase in age, hedonistic values and concrete gratitude declined; there was no increase in connective gratitude. Hedonistic values were related positively to concrete gratitude. However WBO values were not related to connective gratitude.

title: Contributions of Rasch Model to Social Skills Intervention Procedures

description: Abstract This study aimed to examine whether the Rasch model can facilitate the learning of socially skilled behavior in children. Two studies, one to establish cut points and levels of difficulty in measuring social skills and another to analyze the intervention based on this hierarchy, were performed. The Study 1 results indicate that the easiest behaviors are related to civility and Altruism, and the hardest related to assertiveness. In Study 2, the intervention results planned based on the level of difficulty of the items indicated the improving in social skills of children in the same direction as the items level of difficulty. In general, Rasch model was effective as an aid to assess the difficulty of social skills measures and to help planning and implementing interventions within this area.
