Importância do sentido de vida bem-estar para a saúde mental em adultos
Full text linkBackground: Although there is extensive research around the concepts of meaning in life, psychological well-being and mental health/mental illness, literature reveals an almost lack of studies focused on the analysis of these concepts taking into account comparations between adults at specific stages, namely in the stage of emerging adulthood and in middle age. Objectives: This presentation aims to review studies on the variables under analysis, emphasizing their relevance and timeliness. It is also aimed to understand the specificities of this field of research for the two stages of development, emerging adults and middle-aged adults. Methods: Based on duly delineated criteria, the methodology adopted is the bibliographic review of the most relevant studies. Results: By bibliographic review, it was possible not only to analyze the evolution of the concepts under study, but also to perceive the relationships between them. It was also possible to understand how the meaning in life is structuring for the human being, and may present itself as very relevant for stages of great change such as that of emerging adulthood. The review also allowed us to analyze the evolution of the concept of psychological well-being and to know what is meant by mental health nowadays. Conclusions: Meaning in life has been positively associated with physical / psychological health / well-being and psychopathology and seems to be a mediating factor in psychological health. These three pillars prove to be indispensable for a healthy and happy life. Finally, given that there are few studies that contrast stages of adulthood that include emerging adulthood, it was concluded that there is a need for projects that respond to this gap, making a proposal for future research.Introdução: Embora exista vasta pesquisa em torno dos conceitos de sentido de vida, bem-estar psicológico e saúde/doença mental, a literatura revela uma quase inexistência de estudos focados na análise destes conceitos quetenham em conta comparações entre adultos em etapas específicas, nomeadamente na etapa da adultez emergente e na meia idade. Objetivos: Pretende-se com esta apresentação proceder à revisão de estudos das variáveis em análise, salientando a sua pertinência e atualidade. No âmbito desta apresentação, visa-se compreender as especificidades deste campo de análise para as duas etapas de desenvolvimento, adultos emergentes e adultos de meia idade. Método: Com base em critérios devidamente delineados, a metodologia adotada é a revisão bibliográfica dos estudos mais relevantes. Resultados: Com base na revisão bibliográfica, foi possível não só analisar a evolução dos conceitos em estudo, mas também perceber as relações existentes entre os mesmos. Foi ainda possível entender o quanto o sentido de vida é estruturante para o ser humano, podendo apresentar-se como muito relevante para etapas de grande mudança como a da adultez emergente. A revisão efetuadapermitiu ainda analisar a evolução do conceito de bem-estar psicológico e saber o que se entende por saúde mental nos dias de hoje. Conclusões: O sentido da vida tem sido positivamente associado à saúde/bem-estar físico/psicológico e à psicopatologia e parece servir como fator mediador na saúde psicológica. Estes três pilares revelam-se como indispensáveis para uma vida saudável e feliz. Finalmente, dado que são escassos os estudos que contrastam etapas da idade adulta que incluam a adultez emergente, concluiu-se pela necessidade de projetos que respondam a esta lacuna, fazendo-se uma proposta de investigação futura

No full textUn crecimiento saludable: una perspectiva de desarrollo de las percepciones de los adolescentes sobre la escuela
No full textSeveral researchers argue that the school, while place of discovery and promotion of development, should not limit the object of evaluation/intervention to knowledge, but also have to give relief to the domain of skills, attitudes and values. In that sense, we can have a school that motivates for lifelong learning and contributes to prevention of emotional and behavioural problems. It is therefore essential to study the school as an institution that promotes human development as a whole. The present study was aimed at examining the relationships between adolescents’ positive and negative perceptions about some aspects of school environment promoters of favourable or unfavourable development, sense of belonging and acknowledgment of the school’s ability to provide students with opportunities for achievement of objectives and personal goals. More specifically, we intended to understand the students’ perceptions of school’s importance assuming a developmental perspective. The sample consists of 184 participants (63% female) from High School in Portugal, with ages ranging from 15 to 21 years old. Students completed the Questionário de perceções acerca da escola [Questionnaire of perceptionsabout school] specially devised for this study. The confirmatory factor analysis of the instrument revealed four factorsthatexplained 45,9% of thetotalvariance(positiveand negative perceptionsaboutsomeaspects ofschool environment; sense of belonging; and achievement of objectives and personal goals). It was possible to conclude that there is a positive and strong relation between positive perception and sense of belonging related to school.We also concluded that there is a positive and median relation between sense of belonging and achievement of objectives/personal goals, and between this last one and positive perception. In addition, there were statistically significant differences according to gender, school failure, area of study, private or public school, and rural or urban schools. Assuming that a positive perception and sense of belonging to school are important to the development and academic success of students, our findings provide relevant information for planning and implementing school intervention programs.Varios investigadores sostienen que la escuela, si bien es un lugar de descubrimiento y promoción del desarrollo, debería no limitan el objeto de la evaluación/intervención a los conocimientos, sino que también tienen que dar alivio al dominio de las habilidades, actitudes y valores. En ese sentido, podemos tener una escuela que motive para el aprendizaje permanente y contribuya a prevención de problemas emocionales y de comportamiento. Por lo tanto, es esencial estudiar la escuela como una institución que promueve el desarrollo humano en su conjunto. El presente estudio tenía por objeto examinar las relaciones entre las percepciones positivas y negativas de los adolescentes sobre algunos aspectos del entorno escolar promotores de desarrollo favorable o desfavorable, sentido de pertenencia y reconocimiento de la capacidad de la escuela para provide estudiantes con oportunidades para el logro de objetivos y metas personales. Más específicamente, pretendemos para entender las percepciones de los estudiantes sobre la importancia de la escuela asumiendo una perspectiva de desarrollo. El sample consiste en 184 participantes (63% mujeres) de la Escuela Secundaria en Portugal, con edades comprendidas entre 15 y 21 años años de edad. Los estudiantes completaron el Cuestionario de percepciones acerca de la escuela. Sobre la escuela especialmente diseñado para este estudio. El análisis factorial confirmatorio del instrumento reveló cuatro factores que explicaron el 45,9% de la variación total (percepciones positivas y negativas sobre algunos aspectos de la escuela). Ambiente, el sentido de pertenencia y el logro de objetivos y metas personales). Fue posible concluir que hay una relación positiva y fuerte entre la percepción positiva y el sentido de pertenencia relacionado con la escuela. También concluimos que hay una relación positiva y mediana entre el sentido de pertenencia y el logro de objetivos/objetivos personales, y entre este último y la percepción positiva. Además, estadísticamente hubo diferencias significativas según el género, el fracaso escolar, el área de estudio, la escuela privada o pública, y el área rural o escuelas urbanas. Asumiendo que una percepción positiva y un sentido de pertenencia a la escuela son importantes para el development y el éxito académico de los estudiantes, nuestros hallazgos proporcionan información relevante para la planificación y implementación de programas de intervención escolar
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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

No full textPromoting socially adjusted trajectories in late childhood and adolescence
Full text linkEn esta investigación se pretende analizar el desarrollo de la socialización con el fin de identificar algunas variables que pueden ser consideradas como factores de protección para las conductas socialmente ajustados, es decir, las variables relacionadas con aspectos individuales, familiares y sociodemográficos. Para ello, se administraron tres medidas de auto-informe a 182 niños y adolescentes que asisten a la escuela en Portugal del 6º al 9° grado. Los resultados indican que algunos de los factores individuales (por ejemplo, edad y sexo), nivel socioeconómico, así como las relaciones familiares deben ser considerados en el diseño de programas de intervención que tengan la intención de promover comportamientos prosociales y prevenir conductas antisociales. Este estudio señala que algunos factores que nos permitan anticipar las vulnerabilidades y fortalezas en la infancia tardía y en la trayectoria de desarrollo de los adolescentes. Creemos que esta investigación tiene el potencial de permitir más profundas discusiones sobre el papel del ambiente familiar, características individuales y condiciones de vida en el desarrollo de conductas sociales durante la infancia y la adolescencia.In this research we aim to analyze the development of socialization in order to identify some variables that can be considered as protective factors for socially adjusted behaviours, namely variables related to, individual, family and sociodemographic aspects. For this purpose, three self-report measures were administered to 182 children and adolescents attending school in Portugal from 6th to 9th grade. Results indicate that some individual factors (e.g. age and gender), socioeconomic status, as well as family relations should be considered when designing intervention programs that intend to promote prosocial behaviours and prevent antisocial behaviours. This study points out to some factors that may allow us to anticipate vulnerabilities and strengths in late children’s and adolescents’ developmental trajectories. It is our belief that this investigation has the potential to enable more profound discussions around the role of family atmosphere, individual characteristics and living conditions in the development of social behaviours throughout childhood and adolescence.Na presente investigação procurámos analisar o desenvolvimento da socialização de forma a identificar algumas variáveis passíveis de constituírem factores protectores para comportamentos socialmente ajustados. Em particular, variáveis relativas a aspectos individuais, familiares e sociodemográficos. Para este propósito, foram auscultados 182 crianças e adolescentes a frequentar o ensino em Portugal entre o 6º e o 9º ano de escolaridade, aos quais foram administrados três questionários de auto-resposta. Os resultados obtidos apontam para a importância de considerar alguns fatores individuais (por exemplo, idade e género), assim como o nível socioeconómico e as relações familiares para a construção de programas de intervenção vocacionados para a promoção de comportamentos pró-sociais e na prevenção de comportamentos anti-sociais. O estudo apresentado indica-nos, de facto, alguns factores que poderão permitir antecipar vulnerabilidades e vantagens nas trajetórias desenvolvimentais de crianças e adolescentes. Acreditamos que esta investigação poderá contribuir para aprofundar a discussão em torno do papel da atmosfera familiar, das características individuais e das condições de vida no desenvolvimento dos comportamentos sociais durante a infância e adolescência.peerReviewe
