A educação literária numa instituição particular de solidariedade social (IPSS) para jovens e adultos com DID
Get PDFDissertação de Mestrado apresentada no ISPA – Instituto Universitário para obtenção de grau de Mestre na especialidade de Psicologia Educacional.O presente trabalho teve como objetivo compreender como é realizada a educação literária numa instituição para jovens e adultos com “Dificuldade Intelectual e Desenvolvimental” (DID). Mais especificamente, quis-se 1) Caraterizar o contexto institucional no que se refere à intervenção na área da literacia quanto ao meio envolvente e às atividades de literacia; e 2) Caraterizar os clientes da instituição quanto às suas competências de literacia e a motivação para a leitura.
Como estratégia de pesquisa optou-se pelo estudo de caso, em que a unidade em análise correspondeu a uma instituição particular de solidariedade social (IPSS), intitulada de “Quinta-essência – Qe, Uma Nova Linguagem para a Incapacidade”, constituída sob a forma de associação civil sem fins lucrativos para jovens e adultos com DID. Participaram neste estudo 8 clientes do Centro de Atividades Ocupacionais (CAO) da Qe. Como metodologia de recolha de dados optou-se pela observação participante, completada com o registo estruturado (duas grelhas de observação pedagógicas no domínio da leitura e da escrita) e um conjunto de provas desenvolvidas no âmbito da investigação em literacia emergente.
De um modo geral, considera-se que este estudo respondeu aos objetivos a que se propôs. Os resultados apresentados revelaram que a Qe valoriza a educação literária dos seus clientes, pois, para o efeito, investe em diferentes áreas de trabalho organizadas, em projetos e atividades diversificadas e frequentes, facilitando os recursos necessários ao seu desenvolvimento. Além disso, verificou-se que os clientes analisados estão aptos e motivados para a aquisição e desenvolvimento da literacia.This paper aimed to understand how literary education is held in an institution for young people and adults with “Intellectual and Developmental Difficulty” (IDD). Specifically, it was intended to 1) Characterize the institutional context with regard to intervention in the area of literacy regarding the environment and literacy activities; and 2) Characterize the institution's clients regarding their literacy skills and reading motivation.
The research strategy adopted was the case study, in which the unit under analysis corresponded to a particular social solidarity institution (IPSS), entitled “Quinta-essência – Qe, Uma Nova Linguagem para a Incapacidade”, constituted under the non-profit civil association for young people and adults with IDD. Eight clients from Qe's Occupational Activities Center (OAC) participated in this study. The data collection methodology used was the participant observation, complemented by a structured register (two pedagogical observation grids in the field of reading and writing) and a set of tests developed in the emerging literacy research.
In general, it is considered that this study responded to the objectives set. The results showed that Qe values the literary education of its clients, because, for this purpose, it invests in different organized work areas, in diverse and frequent projects and activities, facilitating the necessary resources for its development. In addition, it was found that the clients analyzed are able and motivated for the acquisition and development of literacy
Adaptation to Portuguese of the short version of the Supervisory Relationship Questionnaire
Get PDFResumo: O objectivo principal desta investigação foi a adaptação para a população portuguesa do Questionário da Relação de Supervisão (versão reduzida) – versão supervisando (QRS-r-supervisando). A importância deste constructo na satisfação com a supervisão, no desenvolvimento do terapeuta e na eficácia terapêutica motivaram esta investigação. Realizou-se uma tradução do questionário, seguida de retroversão e de um pré-teste a um pequeno grupo de estudantes de Psicologia, em supervisão. Posteriormente procedeu-se com a investigação recrutando-se 90 psicólogos clínicos/psicoterapeutas em supervisão. Aplicou-se também o Questionário Revisto de Personalidade de Eysenck (adaptação Almiro & Simões, 2013) para efeitos de validade divergente e o CASES (adaptação Lamares &
Conceição, 2012) para efeitos de validade preditiva. Os resultados, a partir da análise factorial, sugerem uma medida composta por 17 itens divididos pelas mesmas três subescalas da medida original (Base Segura, Educação Reflexiva e Estrutura) e propriedades psicométricas adequadas (validade
factorial, fiabilidade compósita e validade divergente). Discute-se a utilidade da medida e o seu valor prático bem como aspectos para futuras investigações.Abstract: The main objective of this study was the adaptation to Portuguese of a questionnaire of supervisory relationship – short version of the Supervisory Relationship Questionnaire (supervisee version). The lack of national measures on this construct and its importance to the satisfaction with the supervision, development of the trainee and to the effectiveness of supervision motivated this investigation. Ninety clinical psychologists/psychotherapists in supervision were recruited. To adapt this questionnaire we made a translation, a retroversion, a pretest. The participants also completed the Short-scale Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised (adaptation Almiro & Simões, 2013) to ascertain divergent validity and the CASES (adaptation Lamares & Conceição, 2012) to determine the predictive validity. A small adjustment was made, in the confirmatory factorial analysis. The results show a measure composed of 17 items divided by the same three subscales of the original measure. Adequate psychometric properties (internal consistency, factorial validity and divergent validity) have been demonstrated. The utility and practical application of this measure and suggestions for future research are discussed.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Lifelong conviction pathways and self-reported offending: Towards a deeper comprehension of criminal career development
No full textThis article investigates to what extent life-course self-reported offending is related to the four developmental
pathways model of criminal careers. Self-reported offending from ages 10 to 48 years
is analyzed in the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development, which is a prospective longitudinal
survey of the development of offending. Vandalism, shoplifting, assault and fraud were selfreported
by more than half of the non-convicted males; however, individuals in convicted pathways
had significantly more self-reported offences. In particular, versatile serious recidivists had a large
number of self-reported offences, an earlier age of onset and a later age of desistance. A theoretical
approach to criminal careers is proposed, which relates childhood vulnerabilities to lifelong selfreported
offending and official criminal careers. The findings suggest that the key criminological
research issue is how and why any person exceeds normative levels of offending, between the expected
beginning in childhood/adolescence and the expected ending during middle adulthood.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
The “ins” and “outs” of person perception: The influence of consonant wanderings in judgments of warmth and competence
No full textIn five studies (N=638), we extended the in-out effect to person perception, examining the influence of oral
approach-avoidance movements activated by word articulation, on preference, sociability and competence
judgments of mock-usernames. Users with inward, in contrast to outward-usernames, were always preferred and
judged as warmer. However, they were judged as equally competent. The differential impact of the in-out effect
in the core dimensions of social perception suggests that the phenomenon relies on the affective mechanism of
approach-avoidance that is only pertinent to judgments related to the warmth dimension. The present research
provides further support for the link between the activation of oral muscles and impression formation, emphasizing
the relevance of the in-out effect for the person perception domain and embodied social cognition.Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia - FCTinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
A expressão sonoro-musical no desenvolvimento e avaliação de competências em crianças e jovens com necessidades educativas especiais
Get PDFTese de Doutoramento em Educação na área de especialização Necessidades Educativas
Especiais, apresentada no ISPA - Instituto UniversitárioO presente estudo teve como principal objetivo avaliar a importância da expressão
sonoro-musical no desenvolvimento e avaliação de competências em crianças e jovens com
necessidades educativas especiais.
Pretendeu-se recolher e analisar dados de forma a contribuir empiricamente para um
mapeamento do perfil sonoro-musical individual de desenvolvimento de crianças e jovens com
necessidades educativas especiais.
Procedeu-se à tradução, adaptação e implementação de um programa musical
específico, o programa Sounds of Intent, que trabalha o desenvolvimento e a avaliação de
comportamentos musicais em crianças e jovens com necessidades educativas especiais.
Pretendeu-se, assim, focar como alvo de medição comportamentos distais, proximais,
cognitivos e emocionais na criança e jovem com necessidades educativas especiais.
Os participantes deste estudo foram crianças e jovens diagnosticados com necessidades
educativas especiais, que se encontravam inseridos em unidades de ensino estruturado, de
multideficiência, instituições e, respetivos professores/técnicos de educação especial.
Tendo em mente o objetivo do estudo e para o clarificar, recorreu-se a uma metodologia
de investigação-ação, com estudo de caso múltiplo longitudinal, metodologia esta que assume
um caráter qualitativo e experimental. Exigindo esta metodologia a descrição detalhada dos
participantes, foram também usados, como instrumentos para recolha de informação, grelhas
de avaliação de desenvolvimento, destinadas a avaliar este tipo de intervenção, entrevistas
dirigidas aos professores e a análise documental do processo.
Os resultados obtidos sugeriram que é possível observar e avaliar de forma sistemática,
através da manifestação de comportamentos sonoro-musicais, o desenvolvimento dos alunos
com necessidades educativas especiais ao longo de um determinado período de tempo, através
de um programa como o Sounds of Intent. Os dados recolhidos, através da grelha e do perfil
concêntrico dos alunos, demonstraram uma ampla variedade de manifestações sonoro-musicais
ao longo do período de intervenção. Todos os alunos demonstraram diferentes níveis de
progresso, no que diz respeito aos seus comportamentos musicais.This study aimed to evaluate the importance of sound-musical expression in the
development and evaluation skills in children and young people with special educational needs.
It was intended to collect and analyze data in order to empirically contribute to a
mapping of the individual sound-musical development profile of children and young people
with special educational needs.
This study proceeded with the translation, adaptation and implementation of a specific
music program, the Sounds of Intent, which works the development and evaluation of musical
behavior in children and young people with special educational needs. It was intended,
therefore, to focus as measuring target distal, proximal, cognitive and emotional behaviors in
children and young people with special educational needs.
The study participants were children and young people diagnosed with special
educational needs placed in structured teaching units, multiple disabilities public teaching units
and institutions, as well as the teachers/specialists in special needs. Keeping in mind the purpose
of the study and to clarify, an action research of a longitudinal multiple case study methodology
was made, this methodology assumes a qualitative and experimental nature. This methodology
as requiring a detailed description of the participants, was also used as instrument for data
collection, matrices of development designed to evaluate this type of intervention, interviews
addressed to teachers and documental analysis process.
The results suggested that it is possible to systematically observe and evaluate the
development of students with special educational needs over a given period of time, through
the manifestation of sound-musical behavior through a program such as Sounds of Intent. The
data collected through the grid and the concentric profile of the students demonstrated a wide
variety of sound-musical manifestations throughout the intervention period. All students
demonstrated different levels of progress with regard to their musical behaviors
The complexity of relations between dimensions of social perception: Decomposing bivariate associations with crossed random factors
No full textTheories of social perception argue that there are two underlying dimensions of social judgment, variously
labeled competence/agency and warmth/communality. How these relate to each other has been the focus of
extensive empirical work with research showing both a ‘halo” relation (targets rated more positively on one
dimension are rated more positively on the other) and a “compensatory” relation (targets rated more positively
on one dimension are rated more negatively on the other). We argue that these divergent findings result from
different comparative contexts under which participants judge social stimuli and on the underlying factors that
contribute to variance in the resulting judgments. In two studies, we vary the comparative context under which
perceivers made judgments and we decompose the variance in such judgments (and their covariance) into
components due to the random factors of participants, targets, and their interaction. Halo relations emerge for
participant means, regardless of comparative context. On the other hand, the covariance between target means
changes signs under different comparative contexts, as does the interaction covariance.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Loneliness in adolescence: Confirmatory factor analysis of the relational provisions loneliness questionnaire (RPLQ) in a Portuguese sample
No full textThe present study assesses the factor structure, psychometric adequacy, and invariance across sex and age of the Relational Provisions
Loneliness Questionnaire (RPLQ). Discriminant validity with an external criterion was also tested. In a sample of Portuguese adolescents,
from 7th to 9th grade (N ¼ 817), Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA) were conducted to test a four-factor model of loneliness (lack of
integration and/or intimacy in peer group and/or family). Results evidenced empirical support for the structure of the RPLQ loneliness
scale, which fitted very well the proposed model, and provided adequate fit to the Portuguese data. There was substantial support for the
construct validity (factorial, convergent, and discriminant) and reliability of the RPLQ. Measurement invariance (configural, metric, and
scalar) was established across sex and age. Finally, it was assured discriminant validity, provided by the contrast with the social functioning
dimensions in peer group. Overall, our findings support the conceptualization of loneliness in adolescence by peer- and family-related
loneliness through lack of integration and intimacy. In a single instrument, the RPLQ loneliness scale combines measures of four important
aspects of adolescents’ social life. This seems to be an adequate instrument to be used in the study of adolescents’ loneliness, in its different
forms and across relational contextsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/submittedVersio

The relevance of the SESII-W/M in establishing a relationship between sexual difficulties and sexual excitation/inhibition
Get PDFAims: The main purpose of this study is to analyse the relationship between sexual difficulties and factors of sexual arousal, excitement,
and sexual inhibition among men and women.
Method: A total of 1,878 participants, of whom 983 were men (52%) and 895 were women (48%), with a mean age of 35.9 years (SD =
11.9; range = 18-79), were recruited online. The study’s instruments included a socio-demographic questionnaire, a questionnaire about
sexual difficulties, and the Sexual Excitation/Sexual Inhibition Inventory for Women and Men (SESII-W/M).
Results: Women with and without sexual difficulties differed significantly on all subscales of the SESII-W/M. Men with sexual difficulties
scored significantly higher in the dimensions of Inhibitory Cognitions and the Dyadic Elements of the Sexual Interaction than men without
difficulties. Inhibitory Cognitions was the strongest predictor of sexual difficulties for both men and women. Relationship Importance was
also a strong predictor of sexual difficulties in women.
Conclusions: Sexual inhibition serves as a predictor of sexual difficulties. The SESII-W/M seems to work better in determining the factors
of sexual inhibition as predictors of sexual difficulties among women, than in identifying causes of sexual difficulties among men.Objetivos: O propósito deste estudo foi o de analisar a relação entre as dificuldades sexuais e os fatores de excitação sexual, excitação e
inibição sexual em homens e mulheres.
Método: Foram recrutados online 1878 participantes, entre os quais 983 homens (52%) e 895 mulheres (48%), com idades médias de
35.9 anos (Mín = 18, Máx = 79; DP = 11.9). Os instrumentos do estudo incluíram um questionário sociodemográfico, um questionário
sobre dificuldades sexuais e o Inventário de Excitação Sexual /Inibição Sexual para Mulheres e Homens (the Sexual Excitation/Sexual
Inhibition Inventory for Women and Men - SESII-W/M).
Resultados: Mulheres com e sem dificuldades sexuais diferem significativamente em todas as subescalas do SESII-W/M. Homens com
dificuldades sexuais apresentaram valores significativamente mais elevados nas dimensões de Inibições Cognitivas e nos Elementos
Diádicos da Interação Sexual, comparativamente aos homens sem dificuldades sexuais. As Cognições Inibitórias foram o preditor mais
forte das dificuldades sexuais em mulheres.
Conclusões: A inibição sexual poderá servir como um preditor das dificuldades sexuais. O SESII-W/M parece funcionar melhor na
determinação dos fatores da inibição sexual como preditores das dificuldades nas mulheres, do que na identificação das causas das
dificuldades sexuais entre nos homens.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
