Psychometric Evaluation of the Social-Emotional Learning Scale (Sels): Evidence for Unidimensionality and Associations With Indicators of Subjective Well-Being in Portuguese Youth
Understanding the dimensionality of social-emotional learning is critical for valid assessment in youth. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Social-Emotional Learning Scale (SELS), and its associations with subjective well-being in a sample of 711 Portuguese students (50.6% girls; M age = 11.01, sd = .81). Structural equation modeling indicated that a bifactor structure (one general and two specific factors: Peer Relationships …
The Georgia School Personnel Survey of school climate: Validity evidence from a sample of Portuguese teachers and support staff
This study focuses on the adaptation of the Georgia School Personnel Survey (GSPS) to assess perceptions of school climate among Portuguese educational professionals, including teachers and support staff. Data from two samples ( n 1 = 1965; n 2 = 2884) were analysed in the study. Through confirmatory factor analysis, the survey's structure was validated, revealing a second‐order factor composed of six first‐order dimensions. The adapted version o…
Bullying victimization and bullying perpetration, social anxiety, and social withdrawal in Portuguese adolescents: A reciprocal association model
Further research is needed to clarify the association of the different forms of bullying with social anxiety and social withdrawal over time in adolescents. This two‐wave panel study with a 1‐year time lag (October 2021–October 2022) examined the cross‐lagged relationships between bullying victimization and bullying perpetration, social anxiety (i.e., fear or distress in social situations), and social withdrawal (i.e., consistent, and deliberate …
Subjective well‐being and school engagement before versus during the Covid‐19 pandemic: What good are positive emotions
The present study overcomes the limited empirical evidence on the association between well-being and school engagement in times of adversity by exploiting available data from two large and comparable samples of eighth graders; one obtained prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and the second obtained during the pandemic. Results suggest that adolescents were less engaged with their learning context during the pandemic, as well as lower in positive and n…

Humor and Personality: Temperament and Character Have Different Roles
This study aimed to test how sense of humor is dependent on the complex and dynamic interactions between the emotional (temperament) and sociocognitive (character) components of personality. Specifically, we examined the relationship of temperament and/or character profiles to overall humor potential and comic style. In total, 665 adults responded to Cloninger’s Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) and the Comic Style Markers. Temperament pr…

An application of the transtheoretical model to climate change prevention: Validation of the climate change stages of change questionnaire in middle school students and their schoolteachers
Certain behaviors, especially when adopted by a majority, can help limit the magnitude of climate change. In this cross-sectional study, the stages of change from the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) are applied to environmentally-significant behavior. We develop and test a new scale – the Climate Change Stages of Change Questionnaire (CCSOCQ) – for measuring five discrete stages involved in changing behavior to address climate change (precontemplati…
Psychometric properties of the Comic Style Markers – Portuguese version: Applying bifactor and hierarchical approaches to studying broad versus narrow styles of humor
Given the relevance of humor for psychosocial assessment and promoting positive functioning, it is important to understand the relationship between humor and personality. A recent framework for describing individual differences in humor posits eight comic styles that can be measured using the Comic Style Markers (CSM). In total, 665 Portuguese adults ( M age = 32.1 years) completed the CSM and Cloninger’s Temperament and Character Inventory. CFAs…
Using Public Datasets to Understand the Psychological Correlates of Smoking, Alcohol Consumption, and Obesity: A Country-Level Analysis
In the present research, we investigate whether cultural value orientations (CVOs) and aggregate personality traits (Big-5) predict actual levels of alcohol consumption, smoking, and obesity across 50 countries using averages derived from millions of data points. Aggregate traits explained variance above and beyond CVOs in obesity (particularly neuroticism and extraversion), while CVOs explained variance beyond aggregate traits in alcohol consump…
Student engagement with school and personality: A Biopsychosocial and Person-Centred Approach
BackgroundEngagement with school is a key predictor of students' academic outcomes, yet little is known about its association with personality. No research has considered this association using Cloninger's biopsychosocial model of personality. This model may be particularly informative because it posits the structure of human personality corresponds to three systems of human learning and memory that regulate associative conditioning, intentionali…

Functions of Identity in the Context of Being a Student: Development and Validation of the Functions of Student Identity Scale
A promising approach to the understanding of identity is the identity functions framework. However, its developmental specificities associated with adolescence remain unexplored. The aim of this study was to develop and test a new measure of the functions of identity as they relate to being a student. Consistent with the theoretical framework, an exploratory analysis with a subsample of high school students revealed five identity functions. A con…
