title: Validity Evidences of Brazilian Version of the Love Scale of Marriage and Relationships Questionnaire (MARQ)

description: Abstract Love is a feeling that includes different emotions and is responsible for the creation and maintenance of attachment bonds. Among the instruments developed to measure love, the Marriage and Relationship Questionnaire is noteworthy by its scope and replicability in different cultures. This questionnaire has 12 scales, of which the Love Scale was developed to assess the level of emotional attachment between partners in a romantic relationship. Our goal was to validate the Love Scale as an alternative measure of emotional attachment for Brazilian population. In this study, 176 individuals in a stable relationship participated. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted and verified one factor with high internal consistency, and relations with criteria questions as hypothesized. The scale was able to detect higher levels of emotional attachments between people who never thought to divorce compared to the ones who thought it more frequently. The adapted instrument showed satisfactory psychometrics properties for use in Brazil.

title: Career Expectations in the Organization Scale: Development and Validity Evidence

description: Abstract Career expectations are an important element to understand the relationship between professionals and their work/organization. The objective of this paper is to describe the procedures for development and provide validity evidence of the Career Expectations in the Organization Scale, an instrument that assesses individuals' expectations about the future of their careers in their respective organizations. Study 1 reports the exploratory factor analysis of the instrument (n = 183) and Study 2 describes a confirmatory factor analysis conducted on an independent sample (n = 352). Both samples were formed by adult employees of different organizations. The results indicated the presence of two factors: Professional Achievements (nine items; ρ = .95; α = .95) and Career-Personal Life Relationship (four items; ρ = .90; α = .90). The discussion highlights that the scale shows validity evidence, facilitates academic analyzes of the career expectations and is useful as a diagnostic tool in human resources management.

title: Factor structure of Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices

description: Abstract This study's objective was to verify the factor structure of Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices (CPM). The database used included the responses of 1,279 children, 50.2% of which were males with an average age of 8.48 years old and a standard deviation of 1.49 yrs. Confirmatory factor analyses were run to test seven models based on CPM theory and on a Brazilian study addressing the test's structure. The results did not confirm the CPM theoretical proposition concerning the scales but indicated that the test can be interpreted by one general factor and one specific factor or one general factor and three specific factors; both are bi-dimensional models. The three-factor model is, however, more interpretable, suggesting that the factors can be used as a means of screening children's cognitive developmental stage.

title: The Need to Belong Scale: Adaptation and Evidences of Validity

description: Abstract Human beings have a fundamental need to belong to groups. That need has a dispositional dimension, as individuals differ on how strong is their motivation to search social connections and how much they value being accepted by others. The Need to Belong Scale (NTBS) is an instrument elaborated to measure such individual dimension of the need to belong. The present research aimed to adapt and collect validity evidence for the NTBS to the Brazilian context. The research was composed of two studies with independent samples. Factor analysis, exploratory and confirmatory, pointed to a unifactor solution with psychometric properties similar to the ones of the original scale, indicating that the NTBS may be adequate for use in the Brazilian context. In convergence analysis the NTBS was positive correlated with an empathy measure. We highlight the need for more studies to define the unifactor structure. We also suggest cross-cultural comparisons concerning the need to belong.

title: Performance of Children in Phonemic and Semantic Verbal Fluency Tasks

description: Abstract This study investigated the performance of children from the Brazilian Northeast region, from 7 to 10 years in phonemic and semantic verbal fluency tasks. The participants were 102 subjects (62 girls and 40 boys) who performed three phonemic and three semantic fluency tasks. The results were submitted to correlational and variance analysis to investigate the influence of the variables age and gender on the subjects performance. There was no effect of gender on the results. Significant contrasts between age groups were found, and better performance was observed on phonemic tasks. Also, the performance in this task changed along development, in contrast to what happened with the semantic fluency. The findings seem to be in accordance to neurodevelopmental aspects, taken into account that explicit memory systems show more precocious maturational course, with earlier consolidation, in comparison to the executive functions and frontal lobes, which go on developing until adult ages.

title: Effects of a Dating Violence Prevention Program

description: Abstract This study evaluated the effects of a dating violence prevention intervention on intentions of coping with this type of violence, difficulties in regulating emotions and endorsement of traditional male gender norms. There were 45 adolescent participants, not randomly placed in an experimental group (N = 21) and a control group (N = 24). The intervention encompassed nine sessions focused on information about dating violence, social skills, decision making, sexual and reproductive rights, and empowerment. Analyses intra and between groups had shown significant reduction in beliefs that supported emotional restriction as a masculinity characteristic in the experimental group, whereas the intentions of coping with dating violence and emotional regulation had not suffered significant changes in any of the Groups. However, qualitative evaluations had evidenced the external practice of self-control and emotional expression skills, assertiveness and empathy. New studies, mainly longitudinal, are recommended to elucidate these results.

title: History and Factors Associated with Crime and Violence among Crack Addicts

description: Abstract This study sought to describe the involvement of crack addicts in treatment in therapeutic communities with violence and crime and to identify associated factors. We interviewed 72 individuals, over 18 years old, who were treated in therapeutic communities of a midsize city of Minas Gerais. We used the instruments: Addiction Severity Index version 6 (ASI 6), The Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results showed that most of them had a history of arrests and had recently been involved with violence and illegal activities such as robbery, theft, drug trafficking and aggression. Poisson regression analysis showed that the higher level of education appears as protection, while employment and psychiatric problems, and prison in adolescence were associated with crimes in the past six months. An occupational and educational reinsertion program during treatment and after discharge of CTs could be a protective approach to crimes.

title: Methodological Criteria for Scoring Clustering and Switching in Verbal Fluency Tasks

description: Abstract The objective of this study was to describe an adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese of the methodological criteria for analysis of clustering and switching in semantic verbal fluency (SVF) and phonemic verbal fluency (PVF) tasks. The adaptation process consisted of six steps, including the selection of the clustering and switching variables based on data from a sample of 419 children and the analysis of inter-rater reliability (six raters). The following variables were scored: the total number of words generated the raw number of clusters, the mean cluster size, and the raw number of switches. There was a significant association between raters (intra-class correlation coefficients between 0.95 and 0.99), showing that the analytical method was reliable. Our study provides an evaluation of SVF and PVF tasks that goes beyond the overall score, making it possible to investigate the cognitive processes underlying this neuropsychological function.

title: Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) - Short Form: Adaptation and Validation for Brazilian Adolescents

description: Abstract This study aimed to adapt and validate the short form of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) for Brazilian adolescents. The participants were 426 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years (M = 14.91, SD = 1.66), 264 girls (62%) and 162 boys (39%), of public schools in the city of Porto Alegre-RS, who answered an adapted version named Escala de Depressão, Ansiedade e Estresse para Adolescentes (EDAE-A). The subscales showed suitable levels of internal consistency, ranging between 0.83 and 0.90. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the best model was the three factors confirming the original model with depression, anxiety and stress dimensions. In the total score and factors, there were differences by sex, with highest average to girls in all scores. We concluded that the EDAE-A presents favorable psychometric qualities, being a simple and suitable survey instrument for identifying symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress in Brazilian adolescents.

title: Adaptation of the Moral Foundations Questionnaire to Brazilian Portuguese

description: Abstract The study aimed to evaluate evidences of the validity of the Moral Foundations Questionnaire in a version adapted to Portuguese, considering five foundations for moral judgment: harm/care, fairness/reciprocity, ingroup/loyalty, authority/respect and purity/sanctity. 532 people were involved in this study throughout all of its phases. The procedures included translation/retranslation, analysis of adequacy on both languages and exploratory factorial analysis. The analysis indicated that the best solution found is a structure composed of two factors. The first one being the individualizing factor (a = 0.91) and, the second, the cohesive factor (a = 0.87), a solution which is compatible with the theory when the foundations of damage and justice are grouped together as opposed to the others. Evidences of convergent validity were found between the cohesion foundation and a religiosity measure. Concluding, the instrument distinguishes a pattern of moral choice of individualization, the most influential foundation, and its factorial structure corroborates the original version.

title: Resistance to Change Scale (RCS): Construction, Psychometric Evidences and Reduced Version

description: Abstract The present study aimed to develop the Resistance to Change Scale (RAM), to cover the existing theoretical basis on this subject, gathering evidences of its factorial validity and internal consistency in the Brazilian context, and to analyze the adequacy of the reduced version of the measurement. Two studies were conducted. 338 employees participated in the first study, mostly from private companies (83%). They answered RCS and demographic profile questions. A principal component analysis (PCA) revealed the predominance of one factor, explaining 25.56 % of the total variance, and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha, α) of 0.94. In the second study, there were 472 employees, the majority from private companies (55%). They answered RCS-20 and demographic questions. The results confirmed the psychometric adequacy of the instrument, and it can be used as a unidimensional measure to assess the resistance to change in organizational environments.
