This study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales - Short Form in a Brazilian sample. The instrument was answered online by 250 university students. The following models were tested through Confirmatory Factor Analysis: one-dimensional, three oblique factors, hierarchical, and bifactor. The estimated indices showed a better adjustment for a bifactor model composed of three specific factors and one global factor. Additional statistical analysis, such as explained common variance and omega hierarchical estimates, indicated that the measure is predominantly one-dimensional. The results also indicated evidence of convergent validity (Average Extracted Variance between 0.48 and 0.60), internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha between 0.87 and 0.94) and temporal reliability of the instrument (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient between 0.64 and 0.74).

Este trabalho objetiva investigar como o atleta se sente minutos antes de iniciar uma competição, avaliando a ansiedade pré-competitiva e sua relação com comportamentos de autocontrole durante uma competição. O grupo pesquisado foi composto por jogadores juvenis da Equipe Masculina de Futsal do Sport Club ULBRA. Aplicou-se o Questionário de Ansiedade Estado de Martens (CSAI-2) bem como uma ficha de tabulação das observações dos comportamentos de autocontrole dos atletas. Os resultados mostraram que quanto maior o nível de tensão, maior é a possibilidade de ocorrer mal desempenho durante a competição. Outra correlação significativa é que a ansiedade cognitiva está altamente relacionada com os comportamentos de descontrole durante a competição. Já os demais aspectos do CSAI-2, como autoconfiança e ansiedade somática, não se demonstraram significativos em relação aos comportamentos de autocontrole.

Este estudo, de caráter exploratório e confirmatório, buscou evidências de validade para a Escala de Avaliação do Relacionamento de Hendrick. No primeiro estudo, participaram 201 pessoas de ambos os sexos que coabitavam com seus parceiros na cidade de João Pessoa, Paraíba. A análise fatorial exploratória para componentes principais dos escores da escala extraiu solução inicial com um fator responsável pela explicação de 61% da variância total e com coeficiente alfa de 0,89. No segundo estudo, participaram 538 pessoas envolvidas em diversos tipos de relacionamentos amorosos da cidade de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. Uma análise fatorial confirmatória (GFI = 0,97, razão CMIN/DF = 3,62) indicou a adequação do modelo. Análises das relações dessa escala com outras medidas de satisfação no relacionamento revelaram correlações estatísticas significativas que variaram de moderadas altas a fortes. Esses resultados evidenciaram a validade fatorial, convergente e consistência interna para e...

The present study is an attempt at relating social stereotypes to body shapes among adolescent subjects, of both sexes, at a state high school in Porto Alegre. A questionnaire comprehending several dimensions of the problem was elaborated for this purpose, and silhouettes of three body types (endomorphic, mesomorphic, and ectomorphic) of men and women were used. The data were studied through analysis of content and classified in two main categories: social and individual. The data suggested that thin women are seen in a more positive way by men than thin men are seen by women, and positive personal characteristics were higher in number than the negative ones. Subjects, in general, attributed negative value to the physical attractiveness of ectomorphic shapes of men and women and the characteristics of the mesomorphic shapes were considered positive in all investigated areas. In the area of social relationships, both feminine and masculine ectomorphic shapes are seen by female and male subjects as related to negative characteristics. The opinions of female and male subjects on the shape of masculine and feminine endomorphics in the studied areas were predominantly negative.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar as relações entre componentes do amor, a saber: dependência romântica, intimidade comunicativa, excitação física, respeito e compatibilidade romântica e a satisfação. A amostra constitui-se de 146 casais heterossexuais. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: Escala dos Componentes do Amor de Critelli et. al. e, para a satisfação, de Jemmott III et al. Os dados foram submetidos à Regressão Múltipla revelando que, entre componentes do amor, o que melhor se correlaciona com a satisfação, para homens e mulheres, é a intimidade comunicativa, seguido da excitação física. Componentes do amor se correlacionaram positivamente com satisfação das mulheres quando declarados em maior grau pelos homens.

Foram investigadas as relacoes entre coesao grupal, ansiedade pre-competitiva e resultados dos jogos de futsal. Aproximadamente 1 hora e 30 minutos antes das partidas, 113 jogadores pertencentes a 10 equipes de sete diferentes clubes responderam a dois instrumentos. Para ter acesso a ansiedade pre-competitiva dos jogadores, foi utilizado o CSAI-2 (Competitive State Anxiety Inventory. 2) de Martens, e para investigar a coesao de grupo, o GEQ (Group Environment Questionaire), baseado no modelo de coesao grupal de Carron, Brawley e Widmeyer. Analises de variância revelaram que as equipes vitoriosas nos jogos obtiveram maiores medias de coesao grupal em torno da tarefa e menores medias de ansiedade cognitiva pre-competitiva. A Correlacao de Pearson confirmou a hipotese da existencia de uma relacao inversa entre coesao em torno da tarefa e a ansiedade pre-competitiva dos jogadores. A analise de regressao multipla encontrou como preditores do resultado em jogos de futsal o fator atracao p...

A crescente demanda de abuso sexual na infância e a necessidade de identificar estas situacoes com maior precisao, levou-nos a utilizar o desenho da figura humana como instrumento de pesquisa, objetivando agregar valores a discussao multidisciplinar sobre esta questao. Foram coletados 18 desenhos da figura humana de criancas abusadas sexualmente e 18 desenhos de criancas nao abusadas. Na analise dos resultados das amostras constatou-se a presenca de (01) um indicador emocional, segundo Koppitz, estatisticamente significativo: maos omissas. (x²=5.80; p=0,01).

:Relations between love components were investigated: romantic dependence, communicative
intimacy, physical excitement, respect and romantic compatibility and satisfaction in heterosexual couple
members. It is a sample of 146 couples. Love Components Scale, by Critelli et. al. was used as an instrument.
Also, it was used Jemmott III Scale et al. for satisfaction. The results were submitted to Multiple Regression,
a stepwise method. It showed that the love component that best co-relates to satisfaction, for both men and
women is communicative intimacy, followed by physical excitement. All components correlated positively
with women’s satisfaction when they they showed in a larger scale by men.

This study sought to promote a construct validation of Chelladurai and Saleh’s Leadership Scale for Sports (1978, 1980), version preference of leadership, with data from 706 male and female Brazilian athletes in soccer, judo, swimming and athletics. The survey participants were from various sport clubs of Rio Grande do Sul; also in an attempt to produce a validation criterion for the instrument relations between the preference for leadership of the athletes and the dependence and variability of task, gender and age of the athletes were tested, as prescribed in the Multidimensional Model of Leadership for Sport. The responses of the athletes to the instrument were processed through the SPSS Factor Analysis, Cronbach alpha and MANOVA. In general, the results provided reasonable confirmation to the original structure. However, the reliability of the autocratic behavior subscale fell short of acceptable. In the discussion, suggestions are made for the reformulation of some items.

Esta pesquisa verificou a autopercepção de papéis sexuais (Bem, 1981) dos professores e as atitudes dos mesmos sobre a divisão dos alunos por sexo nas aulas práticas de Educação Física. Participaram 77 professores que trabalhavam em escolas públicas, privadas, clubes e academias. Foram utilizados o Bem Sex-Role Inventory (Bem, 1974) e um questionário de atitudes. Os dados foram analisados através do Quiquadrado e Análise de Variância. Nos participantes masculinos, houve preferência pela divisão das turmas baseada no critério sexo dos alunos; nos femininos, pelas turmas mistas. Não houve associação significativa entre papéis sexuais e atitudes sobre divisão de turmas. Os professores pró-divisão por sexo sustentaram mais argumentos de natureza biológica e os contra, de conteúdo sociocultural.

This exploratory and confirmatory study sought evidence for the validity of the Relationship Assessment Scale of Hendrick. A total of 201 people of both sexes that lived with their partners in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, participated in the first study. The exploratory factor analysis for the principal components of the scale scores extracted an initial solution with one factor responsible for explaining 61% of the total variance and a coefficient alpha of 0.89. A total of 538 people involved in different types of affective relationships from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, participated in the second study. The confirmatory factor analysis (GFI = 0.97, CMIN/DF ratio = 3.62) indicated the appropriateness of the model. Analysis of the correlations of this scale with other measures of relationship satisfaction revealed statistically significant correlations, which ranged from high-moderate to high. These findings showed factorial validity, convergent and internal consistency for scores from different cultures.

This exploratory study investigated the loving relationships of three couples: heterosexual, gay and lesbian. Assessments were made of the perceptions of Sex Role, Love and relationship satisfaction. The approach focused on Bem’s Gender Schema Theory (1974), Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love (1986) and Hendrick’s Evaluation of the Relationship (1988). For heterosexual and gays, the Passion appeared strongest at the beginning of relationships and intimacy and commitment, over time. For lesbians, Intimacy preceded the Passion. Femininity seems to have an important effect on the satisfaction of partners regardless of gender and sexual orientation. Furthermore, the results supported theories and showed that love can manifest also in the types of relationships investigated.

Animal hoarding is a spectrum-based condition in which hoarders are often reported to have had normal and appropriate pet-keeping habits in childhood and early adulthood. Historically, research has focused largely on well-established clinical animal hoarders with little work targeted towards the onset and development of animal hoarding. This study investigated whether a Brazilian population of owners of what might typically be considered an excessive number (20 or more) of cats were more likely to share the commonly reported psychological and demographic profile of animal hoarders than owners of 1-2 cats drawn from the same population. Psychological traits measured were attachment to pets (Lexington Pet Attachment Scale, LAPS), anxiety and depression (Hospitalized Anxiety and Depression Scale, HADS), and hoarding behavior (Saving Inventory-Revised, SI-R). Owners of 20 or more cats were significantly older, scored significantly higher pet attachment scores, and displayed significant positive relationships between hoarding behavior and anxiety. Such a profile demonstrates greater similarities to clinical animal hoarders than to typical cat owners on these particular measures, although additional disparities with clinical animal hoarders exist in the areas of functioning, veterinary care and home organization. Taking this information together, the studied population may represent the understudied group of early stage animal hoarders. However, external factors such as culture and societal animal control policies should not be overlooked as alternative explanations for pet keeping at levels that might be considered excessive.

Neste estudo foi investigado o amor nos jovens, adultos, maduros e idosos. Comparando grupos de diferentes faixas etárias pretendeu-se, principalmente, verificar possíveis modificações no amor ao longo do tempo. Foi realizada uma pesquisa transversal mediante uma amostra de conveniência de 64 pessoas jovens, 50 adultos jovens, 63 adultos maduros e 48 idosas (total de 225), que estavam envolvidos em namoro, noivado, casamento ou união estável, no mínimo há um ano. Foi utilizada a Escala Triangular do Amor de Sternberg, instrumento de 45 itens, divididos em três subescalas: intimidade, paixão e compromisso. Também foram registrados os dados: idade, sexo, tipo de relação e tempo da relação. A coleta dos dados foi realizada na UERJ, alguns foram obtidos em grupos de amigos, clínicas, academias, parques, igrejas e praças. Não foram encontradas correlações estatísticas significativas entre idade dos amantes e componentes do amor, resultado que tem sido controverso na pesquisa internacional. Por outro lado, foi encontrado que quanto maior o tempo de duração da relação amorosa maior o compromisso, resultado que confirma a teoria. Os níveis de compromisso e paixão declarados pelos homens foram mais elevados do que os das mulheres. Em geral, tem sido encontrado que homens valorizam mais a Paixão e mulheres mais a Intimidade, diferenças que, às vezes, não são encontradas na literatura. Além disso, não houve diferenças estatísticas entre os tipos de relação nos níveis dos componentes do amor. O tipo de relação seria o melhor preditor do Compromisso, contudo, no estudo atual também não foram encontradas evidências disso.

The present study aims at evaluating the contribution of Bender’s test in the driver’s selection. The sample of this work was comprised of 60 professional drivers, all having Drivers License D or E, and experimented for 2 years at least in order to avoid inexperienced situations. The instrument used was the Gestaltic Test of Bender, though symbolic signals of aggression proposed by Lauretta Bender, Brown, Hutt, and Cunha. This way two groups, I and II, were formed. Group I with historical events of accidents (higher frequency); and Group II with few or no historical events of accidents (absence or lower frequency). In Group I it was verified how many drivers presented or not signals of aggression. The same analysis was applied on Group II. The statistical proof used was the Chi-Square Test (2). The obtained results confirmed the association of some symbolic signals of aggression at Bender with traffic accidents, for there was, from the statistic point of view, a significant difference between the frequencies of both groups with or without accidents. On the other hand, other signals of aggression were not confirmed.

The recent demand about child sexual abuse and the need to detect these situations with higher precision have driven us to use the human figure drawing as an instrument for research, in order to add values to a multi-disciplinary discussion on the issue. A number of 18 human figure drawings of sexually abused children were collected as well as 18 human figure drawings of non-sexually abused children. According to Koppitz, in the analysis of the test results, it was revealed the existence of (01) one emotional indicator which is statistically significant: Item 17 – Missing Hands (χ2= 5.80; p<0,01).

The aim of this study is to check the pre teenagers and teenagers perception when a card is presented to them showing a drawing of na obese person (endomorphic individual) from both sexes. A total of 300 students from Public Schools in Porto Alegre, age between 10 to 15 yearsold
(media 12,8; SD 1,5), 148 males and 152 females, were included in this study. Measures of height and weight of all students were collected while they atended to physical education classes. Body Mass Index of all subjects was determined according to the World Health Organization, being classified as underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese. Next, the students were presented with two card drawings showing obese youths, from both sexes, followed by a small questionnaire adapted from Piccinini et al . (1996). Each of the question´s answer was classified as negative or positive. Analysis of frequency using chi-square test reveled that the students had a negative perception when drawings of
endomorphic individuals had been shown to them, specially about endomorphic female individuals. It was found that preconception is present in a period of which the individual is starting its social life, ie, its school environment.

It was investigated whether the mournings through which adolescents should pass have a great influence in the intensity of their anxiety and in the depression of this age period, and if these feelings might influence in the learning process. The sample was composed of 332 High School students, of both sexes and of elevated socioeconomic level. In order to collect the sample, Beck’s questionnaire and the Inventory of Spielberger were used. It was also made a correlational study in which the data were analyzed according to the variance analysis. The outcome has demonstrated that there is a meaningful difference in relation to anxiety-state intensity and anxiety-traits intensity among adolescents.

O amor está entre as mais intensas e buscadas emoções humanas. O pouco conhecimento sobre a natureza do amor não é devido à falta de tentativas para entendê-lo: poetas, filósofos, escritores, sociólogos, psicólogos e praticamente todos os estudiosos têm procurado entender este sentimento que é tão impalpável ou indefinível quanto crucial para a nossa vida.Os dados para esta pesquisa foram buscados, on line, nas bases de dados: SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), IndexPSI Periódicos e LILACS (Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde) no período de 1991-2010. Foram recuperados 17 artigos, os seis que abordaram as medidas do amor foram objetos do presente texto.
