Emotion dysregulation and depressive symptoms mediate the association between inhibitory control difficulties and aggressive behaviour in children with ADHD
The main result of our study supports the role of emotion dysregulation and depressive symptoms in mediating the relationship between inhibitory control difficulties and impulsive aggressive behaviour in children with ADHD. This highlights that aggressive behaviour is, in part, a result of the inability of the child to appropriately regulate their emotions. Future interventions may be tailored to improve emotion regulation skills to address aggre…
The interplay between emotional well-being, self-compassion, and basic psychological needs in adolescents
The COVID-19 pandemic affected the mental health of people, especially adolescents. Although the negative impact of the pandemic has been described, studies on the role of protective factors in this population remain scarce. Using a mediation model approach, we examined the relationship between emotional well-being, self-compassion, and basic psychological needs in adolescents at school during the pandemic. Adolescents attending schools in northe…
Fluency Training for Struggling Readers
Tier-2 reading fluency interventions are specifically tailored for struggling readers, addressing their unique needs. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of a Tier-2 reading fluency intervention on reading capabilities and motivation among third-grade students identified as at risk. The intervention employed various strategies, including non-repetitive reading, exploration of challenging words, model reading, eco-reading, assisted rea…
Development of a Group Emergent Literacy Screening Tool
It is important to identify children who are struggling with emergent literacy skills as early as possible to provide them with the support they need to prevent future academic failure. Screening tools administered in groups are more cost-effective than those administered individually, but few are available in Portugal. The goal of this study was to explore the psychometric properties (difficulty, reliability, and validity) of a group emergent li…
Being a Young Carer in Portugal
Caring for an ill or disabled relative can present significant challenges that may exceed the personal resources of the caregiver. Young carers (YCs) often take on this role, providing support to family members or friends, which can have far-reaching effects on various aspects of their lives. This study involved 235 adolescents, 106 YCs, and 129 non-carers (NCs), who completed questionnaires assessing life satisfaction, satisfaction with social s…
Face-to-Face Versus Remote
Fluency is a central skill for successful reading. Research has provided evidence that systematic reading fluency interventions can be effective. However, research is scarce on the effects of interventions delivered remotely versus face-to-face. This study investigated the efficacy of a systematic and standardized intervention for promoting reading fluency in third-grade students ( N = 207) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study had a pretest, p…
Early Maltreatment and Current Quality of Relational Care Predict Socioemotional Problems Among Institutionalized Infants and Toddlers
The present study is focused on child socioemotional problems 6 months after institutionalization, by considering the putative predictive role of child maltreatment, of developmental functioning at admission and the following months, and of the quality of institutional relational care. Fifty institutionalized infants and toddlers participated in this study. Child developmental functioning (i.e., cognitive, language, and motor development) was ass…
The Eastern side of the Westernmost Europeans
While previous inferences based on modern haplogroup J Y-chromosomes implicated a main Neolithic dissemination, here we propose a later arrival of J lineages into Iberia using a combination of novel Portuguese Y-chromosomal data and recent evidence from ancient DNA. Our analysis suggests that a substantial tranche of J1-M267 lineages was likely carried into the Iberian Peninsula as a consequence of the trans-Mediterranean contacts during the firs…

Social Withdrawal Behavior in Institutionalized Toddlers
Eighty‐five Portuguese children, aged 12 to 30 months, placed in residential institutions were assessed to investigate the influence of variations in the institutionalization experience of social withdrawal behavior, after taking into account potentially confounding individual characteristics and pre‐admission experiences. In light of the limited attention in institutionalization research on social withdrawal, the determinants of the identified p…
Indiscriminate behavior observed in the strange situation among institutionalized toddlers
Socially disinhibited or indiscriminate behavior (IB) has traditionally been investigated using caregiver reports. More recently, an observational measure based on the Strange Situation Procedure (M. Ainsworth, M. Blehar, E. Waters, & S. Wall, 1978), the Rating of Infant and Stranger Engagement (RISE; C. Riley, A. Atlas‐Corbett, & K. Lyons‐Ruth, 2005), was validated in home‐reared at‐risk children. The present study aimed to validate the RISE in …
Desenvolvimento, psicopatologia e apego
O presente estudo exploratório examinou o desenvolvimento mental e a qualidade do funcionamento sócio-emocional de 16 crianças entre os 3 e os 6 anos, institucionalizadas em Centros de Acolhimento Temporário, relacionando-os com a qualidade das narrativas sobre o apego das suas cuidadoras. Foram utilizadas a Escala de Desenvolvimento Mental de Griffiths, o Questionário de Comportamentos, as Narrativas sobre o Apego e o Attachment Q-Sort. Os resul…
