Optimizing working memory assessment
Given the lengthy administration of most working memory (WM) tasks, some researchers have developed reduced versions of these tests. However, they have focused primarily on complex spans. Recent studies suggested that estimating working memory capacity (WMC) using multiple tasks from different paradigms enhances measurement accuracy by isolating WMC variation from task- and paradigm-specific influences. Considering this, we evaluated whether comp…
Psychometric Properties and Cross-Cultural Invariance of the Beck Depression Inventory-II and Beck Anxiety Inventory among a Representative Sample of Spanish, Portuguese, and Brazilian Undergraduate S…
Clinical psychologists often use the Beck Depression Inventory, 2nd edition (BDI-II), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) to aid in the diagnosis of mental health issues and verify the effectiveness of treatments. Despite this common practice, studies that implement a cross-cultural design to check psychometric properties and the invariance of these scales are still scarce in the literature, which can lead to biased results that prevent comparisons …

Significados Sobre Sexualidade Em Mulheres Com Fibromialgia
A fibromialgia é uma síndrome reumatológica predominantemente feminina e que pode acarretar prejuízos em diferentes esferas da vida. Desse modo, pesquisas sobre a sexualidade desta população têm sido desenvolvidas, com foco, sobretudo, em seus aspectos objetivos. Porém, a sexualidade é atravessada também por fatores mais subjetivos, de ordem psicológica e sociocultural. Assim, este estudo teve como objetivo compreender as ressonâncias da religios…
International and Spanish Findings in Scientific Literature about Minors’ Mental Health
Minors' mental health is a subject of high global concern. Understanding the factors that influence their mental health is essential to improving the health of future generations. In this study, an analysis of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire's usefulness is carried out, as a validated tool, recognized in Spain and internationally, for the measurement of minors' mental health. In turn, the influence of the variables of gender, age, an…
The development and initial validation of the Decent Work Scale.
Decent work is positioned as the centerpiece of the recently developed Psychology of Working Theory (PWT; Duffy, Blustein, Diemer, & Autin, 2016). However, to date, no instrument exists which assesses all 5 components of decent work from a psychological perspective. In the current study, we developed the Decent Work Scale (DWS) and demonstrated several aspects of validity with 2 samples of working adults. In Study 1 (N = 275), a large pool of ite…
Individual Differences in Capacity for Tolerating Information Overload Are Related to Differences in Culture and Temperament
Individual differences in the capacity for information processing in complex tasks can be predicted from both personality and temperament that derive from both the biological and social substrates of human development and behavior. If there are cultural differences in brain structure and function that govern information processing, then two different cultures may show biologically based temperamental differences in sensitivity to stimulation (e.g…
Psychiatric rehabilitation and social inclusion of people with mental illness
The delivery of psychiatric rehabilitation interventions has been recognised as fundamental to facilitate recovery of people with severe mental illness. Although Portugal has developed a plan to restructure mental health services between 2007 and 2016, multiple barriers are hindering its effective implementation. We aim to describe a Portuguese psychiatric rehabilitation institution and analyse barriers in the mental health paradigm change. With …
Desemprego e empreendedorismo
Perante a atual dificuldade dos sistemas políticos e financeiros dos países europeus, em especial os do sul da Europa, em fazer face às maiores taxas de desemprego, desde que há registro na história, a via do empreendedorismo tem assumido crescente importância no quadro das políticas de incentivo ao emprego. Face à ausência de respostas no mercado assalariado, o empreendedorismo tem sido apresentado como uma das soluções mais populares na reconqu…
Reabilitação Psicossocial de Pessoas com Esquizofrenia
A mudança de paradigma na área da psiquiatria que tem vindo a ocorrer nos últimos anos com o processo de desinstitucionalização pressupõe o desenvolvimento de respostas de integração comunitária. Estudos realizados noutros países demonstram melhores resultados para programas de reabilitação psicossocial do que internamento em hospital psiquiátrico, embora, em Portugal, os serviços não se coadunem com o estado da arte nesta matéria. Neste sentido,…
