title: Neuropsychological and Educational Profile of Children with Dyscalculia and Dyslexia: A Comparative Study

description: Abstract This paper aims to compare the neuropsychological and educational profiles of Brazilian children with dyscalculia (n = 8), dyslexia (n = 13) and without learning disabilities (n = 12). The neuropsychological profile was composed of: (a) intelligence - assessed by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III); (b) attention - WISC-III Coding and Symbol Search subtests; (c) executive functions - Digit Span (backward order) and WISC-III Arithmetic subtests, Pseudoword Repetition Test for Brazilian Children, Stroop Test and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test; (d) memory - WISC-III Digit Span subtest (forward order) and Rey Complex Figures. The educational profile was composed of reading, writing and mathematics, assessed by the Academic Performance Test and the Arithmetic Test. It was found that the groups with dyscalculia and dyslexia did not differentiate in any of the neuropsychological abilities, only in the reading and writing abilities. Neuropsychological variables that could explain these results were discussed.

title: Teacher-Trainee’s Characteristics, Process and Results in a Blended Social Skills Program

description: Abstract This study (intervention research) evaluated the efficacy and effectiveness of a blended in-service teacher training program on social skills, and the relation between teachers’ characteristics (age, time since graduation and performance, professional self-evaluation, and educational conceptions), variables of process (performance on assessments and management of the virtual environment), and the results obtained (social skills performance and knowledge). Participants included 11 teachers from the 1st to the 5th elementary school grades, who answered a standardized inventory and questionnaires before, during and after the program. As results, we can highlight: (a) improvement in social skills knowledge and performance (mainly assertive skills); (b) correlations between the three sets of variables, both negative (for example, of the involvement and performance in the program with management of virtual environment, time since graduation, professional self-evaluation and performance of social skills), and positive (for example, between assertive skills and class management). Implications for leveling/selecting participants in future programs and research questions are discussed.

title: Exercise for Attention and Problem Solving in the Daily Activities of Childhood

description: Abstract This study investigates the relation between the daily activities performed in childhood and the cognitive functions of problem solving and attention. Among daily activities, reading, sports practice, computer access, and interaction with games were analyzed. Therefore, a questionnaire was organized in three parts, including data on the children’s profile, the record of the frequency of the daily activities and the evaluation of the presence of behaviors taken as indicators of problem solving and attention performance. The questionnaire was answered by the children’s guardians, considering their perception. We analyzed data results from a sample of 162 children aged 6-11. The results revealed the association between reading and attention, and between computer access and playing games with problem-solving ability.

title: Motherhood and HIV: Retention in HIV Care and Adherence in Postpartum Women

description: Abstract This study examined sociodemographic, clinical, and psychosocial factors affecting retention in HIV care and antiretroviral adherence in women during the first three months after delivery. Participants were 56 women living with HIV, aged between 18 and 43 years, mostly white and married. We used interviews about socio-demographic and clinical data, laboratory tests, and psychological scales. Statistical analyses revealed that more than one-third of women (37.5%) discontinued their treatment after delivery. Quality of life and instrumental support may contribute to retention in HIV care after childbirth, and the working conditions and clinical status of these women may affect adherence after childbirth. These findings may contribute to the development of interventions that promote retention in HIV care and adherence during the postpartum period.

title: Problematic Internet Use, Emotional Problems and Quality of Life Among Adolescents

description: Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Problematic Internet Use (PIU) among adolescents (N = 466) and its possible association with emotional problems and quality of life. Students (Mage = 12.8 years; SD = 1.9) from five public schools in a city in the State of São Paulo participated in this study and completed four instruments: a sociodemographic questionnaire; Internet Addiction Test (IAT); Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL). No significant differences were detected about the frequency and intensity of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress compared to those who did not have problems with the use of the Internet. No differences were observed between the groups in respect of quality of life either. However, those individuals who felt that their internet use impaired their daily activities presented higher average IAT scores and higher levels of stress. These findings indicated that the perception of internet use was the main variable associated with emotional symptoms.

title: Comparisons Between Boys and Girls in Zulliger - Comprehensive System

description: Abstract The objective of this study was to verify possible differences in performance between boys and girls in the Zulliger Comprehensive System (ZSC). The sample consisted of 623 children aged from 6 to 14, from the Southeast region of Brazil, divided into four age groups: six to seven years, eight to nine, ten to eleven, and twelve to fourteen years. The means were compared using the t-test. The results indicated that some differences remained significant even after the Bonferroni correction, although the number of variables was reduced considerably when compared to the literature. The findings are discussed together with studies with projective techniques as well as other personality techniques. It was concluded that, although many variables were corroborated in the literature, more studies with more homogenous samples are needed, including, for example, control for the cognitive level and sociodemographic variables.

title: Kessler Psychological Distress Scale: Internal Structure and Relation to Other Variables

description: Abstract This study aimed to present validity evidence based on internal structure of the Kessler Scale of Psychological Distress (K10), to show its relations with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), and to present a social distribution of distress in the present sample. Participated in the study 717 residents of Aracaju, State of Sergipe, by means of household data collection. A sociodemographic questionnaire, K10, and PSS-10 were used as instruments. Exploratory Factor Analysis was performed using the Factor software, which indicated the scale unidimensionality, explaining 69.9% of the variance. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.93, and the model adjustment indices were satisfactory. A positive and statistically significant association between K10 and PSS-10 was observed. Regarding the social distribution, the levels of distress were higher in women, patients with chronic diseases, users of controlled drugs, and unemployed participants. It was concluded that K10 presented robust psychometric properties for the detection of distress in general population.

title: Working Memory Capacity For Faces With Different Levels of Emotional Valence

description: Abstract The capacity of visual working memory (VWM) depends on the complexity of the stimuli being processed. Emotional characteristics increase stimulus complexity and can interfere with the competition for cognitive resources. Studies involving emotional information processing are scarce and still produce contradicting results. In the present study, we investigated the capacity of VWM for faces with positive, negative, and neutral expressions. A modified change-detection task was used in two experiments, in which the number of faces and the emotional valence were manipulated. The results showed that VWM has a storage capacity of approximately two faces, which is fewer than the storage capacity identified for simpler stimuli. Our results reinforce the evidence that working memory can dynamically distribute its storage resources depending on both the amount and the emotional nature of the stimuli.

title: Relationship between creativity and intelligence in regular students and giftedness students

description: Abstract The present study sought to identify the relationship between creativity and intelligence in gifted students. The sample consisted of 966 participants, aged between 7 and 17 years, classified as regular students (n=867) and criterion group (n=99), subdivided according to the area of prominence: academic (n=66), creative/artistic (n=33). The Giftedness Assessment Battery was applied to assess reasoning (verbal, logical, numerical, and abstract) and creativity (verbal and figural). The results indicated that, in the control group, the relationship between the total score for intelligence and the two types of creativity were significant and positive, and scores were higher for verbal creativity. Only the correlation between the total scores for intelligence and verbal creativity was positive and significant in the criterion group. Differences in the relationship between constructs were also found according to the identification of giftedness (academic and creative).

title: Interpersonal Violence and its Repercussions on Health at an Emergency Hospital

description: Abstract Violence is a multicausal, complex, and heterogeneous phenomenon as well as a public health question. When it occurs in the interpersonal sphere, it must be understood as a biopsychosocial event with serious repercussions. In Brazil, given the concern due to the current violence scenario, it was proposed the implementation of the Violence and Accidents Surveillance System, with the objective of mapping and preventing the phenomenon, using the notification act. We conducted a frequency survey and association analyses using a descriptive-transversal methodology and retrospective data collection. It was verified that physical violence was the most reported, and the most associated to hospitalizations. Psychological services reached a low occurrence index, despite the high number of referrals to mental health support. Firearms appeared as one of the main means of violence perpetration. These results, along with the verification of a lengthy procedure for the notification act, evidence the severity of the theme and the relevance of studies in this area.

title: Risk Perception and Health Behaviors in relation to Casual Sex in College Women

description: Abstract This study aimed to explore and compare the perceptions of physical health risks and healthy sex behaviors among female university students with (CEX) and without (SEX) experience in casual sex. With a comparative cross-sectional design, the study included 1,133 Brazilian female university students (mean age 21.05 years, SD=2.05), mostly born and resident in the southern region of the country, who completed an online questionnaire about their perception of physical risks, their health behaviors, and their sexual behavior and history. There was a significant difference in health behaviors and risk perceptions between the two groups, where the CEX group showed higher levels of healthy behaviors and care than the SEX group. Although casual sex is related to risk behaviors, in this study, women in the CEX group reported taking more health protection measures than those in the SEX group.
