Validação da escala SAI-R na população portuguesa
Get PDFDissertação de Mestrado apresentada no ISPA – Instituto Universitário
para obtenção do grau de Mestre na especialidade de Psicologia Clínica.A espontaneidade e as suas ligações à saúde mental e ao bem-estar são uma componente central quer na teoria quer na prática do psicodrama, e a literatura especializada associa a presença de patologia à falta de espontaneidade.
Nesta tese, apresentam-se alguns aspetos teóricos da espontaneidade na teoria de Moreno, discute-se a sua avaliação, a sua associação a outras medidas, bem como a outros conceitos teoricamente próximos da espontaneidade e, finalmente, a investigação mais recente e a necessidade de conceptualização teórica do SAI-R, bem como da possibilidade de uma estrutura a 3 fatores desta medida. Sobre a medida da avaliação da espontaneidade elencam-se alguns dos resultados obtidos em estudos em língua inglesa do SAI-R e apresentam-se os estudos da sua validação para a população portuguesa. No estudo participaram no total 2940 indivíduos [(Mulheres =1659; 56.4%); (Homens=1281; 43.6%)]. A idade média dos participantes foi de 28.5 anos (DP = 7.51) e as idades variaram entre 18 e os 69 anos. Os dados foram recolhidos através de uma plataforma online de uma empresa de estudos de mercado portuguesa.
Os resultados permitiram a validação do SAI-R para o contexto português, tendo-se confirmado a estrutura unifatorial. Por fim, foram testadas a fiabilidade compósita e a validade convergente, bem como a validade cruzada. Os resultados também revelaram a plausibilidade de remoção do item 7, "Eufórico". Mostrou-se ainda que o modelo a 3 fatores tem validade aceitável, confirmando a fiabilidade compósita, a validade convergente, mas não confirma a validade discriminante. Através da análise multigrupos o modelo mostrou ser estável. Apesar de serem necessários mais estudos com populações clínicas, o SAI-R apresenta-se como um instrumento curto e válido para aplicar em contextos clínicos e não clínicos quando se pretende avaliar a espontaneidade.Spontaneity and its connections to mental health and wellbeing are a central issue in both theory and practice of psychodrama, and the specialized literature sometimes even associates the presence of pathology to a lack of spontaneity. This thesis presents the theoretical aspects of spontaneity in Moreno's theory, including, its assessment, the association with other measures and concepts and scientific advances in the field. Specifically, concerning spontaneity assessment inventory, both some of the results obtained in studies with the English-language version and some validation studies for the Portuguese population. In the validation of the SAI-R for the Portuguese context, we verified the factorial structure with 719 subjects, divided in two independent samples. The participants were aged 18 to 69. Globally, 2940 individuals participated in the study [(Women =1659; 56.4%); (Men=1281; 43.6%)]. The mean age of participants was 28.5 years (SD = 7.51) and ages ranged between 18 and 69 years. Data collection was through an online platform of a Portuguese market research company.
The results allowed the validation of the SAI-R for the Portuguese context, confirming its unifactorial structure. Complementary, composite reliability and convergent validity, as well as cross-validity, were verified. The results also revealed that removing item 7. Euphoric is feasible. The results also revealed that the 3-factor model has acceptable validity, confirming the composite reliability, the convergent validity, but not the discriminant validity. Through multigroup analysis, the model shown to be stable. Notwithstanding the need for complementary studies including clinical samples, the SAI-R is a short and valid instrument in clinical and non-clinical contexts when evaluating spontaneity
Análise das Qualidades Psicométricas da Versão Portuguesa do Inventário de Avaliação da Espontaneidade (SAI-R)
Get PDFA espontaneidade e as suas ligações à saúde mental e ao bem-estar são uma componente central quer na teoria quer na prática do
psicodrama, e a literatura especializada associa a presença de patologia à falta de espontaneidade. Neste artigo, elencam-se alguns
dos resultados obtidos em estudos em língua inglesa do SAI-R e apresentam-se os estudos da sua validação para a população
portuguesa. Na validação do SAI-R para o contexto português, foi confirmada a estrutura fatorial com 719 sujeitos, distribuídos
em duas amostras independentes. Os participantes tinham idades entre os 18 e os 69 anos. Por fim, foram testadas a fiabilidade
compósita e a validade convergente, bem como a validade do tipo critério em duas amostras independentes (n1ªamostra=348 e
n2ªamostra=371). Apesar de serem necessários mais estudos com populações clínicas, o SAI-R apresenta-se como um instrumento
curto e válido para aplicar em contextos clínicos e não clínicos quando se pretende avaliar a espontaneidade.
Palavras-chave: psicodrama; espontaneidade; sintomas afetivos; testes psicológicosAbstract: Spontaneity and its connections to mental health and wellbeing are a central theme in both the theory and practice of psychodrama, and the specialized literature sometimes even associates the presence of pathology with a lack of spontaneity. In this
article, we list some of the results obtained in studies with the English-language version of the spontaneity scale and present
its validation studies for the Portuguese population. We verified a factorial structure with 719 subjects, divided into two independent samples in the validation of the SAI-R for the Portuguese context. Participants had an age range of 18 to 69 years
old. Furthermore, composite reliability, convergent validity, and cross validity were tested in two other independent samples
(nsample1=348 and nsample2=371). Although further studies with clinical samples are needed, the SAI-R presents itself as a short and
valid instrument to apply in clinical and non-clinical settings when assessing spontaneity.

Psychometric Evaluation of the German Version of the Revised Spontaneity Assessment Inventory (SAI-R)
Get PDFSpontaneity has been defined as an adaptive response to varying situational conditions. In this regard, it may be considered as a major contributor to well-being and mental health which could play an essential role within the context of psychotherapy. Despite its potential importance empirical research on spontaneity has been lacking until recently. As a remedy, the present paper introduces the German translation of the Revised Spontaneity Assessment Inventory (SAI-R; Kipper and Shemer 2006) as a qualified self-report measure of spontaneity.The German version of the 18-items SAI-R has been applied both in a non-clinical (n=467 students) and in a clinical sample (n=40 female survivors of domestic violence) and has been psychometrically analysed. The total score of the questionnaire, which shows to be well accepted and feasible, reveals high reliability. Evidence of its validity and sensitivity to change are demonstrated. Thus, this study provides preliminary evidence indicating that the German version of the SAI-R may be a reliable and valid measure for the assessment of spontaneity
Factor Analysis of the Revised Spontaneity Assessment Inventory (SAI-R)
No full textThe present study describes a factor analysis of the Revised Spontaneity Assessment Inventory (SAI-R), an original scale design to measure spontaneity. The analysis revealed three factors underlying the inventory. The first, titled vigor/ pleasure, suggests that spontaneity is a pleasurable and dynamic experience. The second factor, titled freedom, indicates that spontaneity is characterized by a sense of free expression and actions unhindered by conventions. The third factor, titled involvement/focus, indicates that spontaneity is focused experience a characteristics that separates it from impulsivity. These factors seemed consistent with the theoretical understanding of spontaneity
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
