Reliability, validity, and response patterns of the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire in a sample of adolescents in residential care
Validation study of the Roberts Apperception Test for Children (Ratc) in an adolescents' forensic sample
The Roberts Apperception Test for Children (RATC) is a projective method developed by McArthur and Roberts (1982) to assess children and adolescents' behavioural, social and emotional functioning, concerns, conflicts and emotional management strategies through their perceptions of common interpersonal situations of everyday life. The aim of the present study is to contribute to the validation of the RATC in a forensic sample (N = 75) [constituted…
A Retratação Após Revelação do Abuso Sexual de Crianças
A retratação após revelação de abuso sexual de crianças configura as situações em que as eventuais vítimas negam os seus relatos prévios. Este estudo objetivou identificar, a partir da perspectiva dos profissionais, os fatores de risco e de proteção associados à retratação. Foram realizadas entrevistas individuais a 23 profissionais, assistentes sociais, conselheiros/as tutelares, magistrados/as, pedagogos/as e psicólogos/as, do Brasil e de Portu…
“Our Family’s Path
The aim of the present study was to explore and to understand how 36 urban Southern Angolan couples perceived their family’s development across the lifetime. The study sought to compare those results with three systemic approaches of family development, two Western and another indigenous. Through semi-structured interviews, the existence of two trajectories of family life, with similar life events, were identified. The life events of these two tr…

Parent–Child Communicational Characteristics
The occurrence of divorce seems to have impact on parent–child communication, with subsequent implications on the children well-being and development. The present study aims to analyze the influence that divorce has on parent–child communication comparing 102 participants from post-divorced families and 100 participants from intact nuclear families. Measures consisted of a sociodemographic questionnaire and Perception Scale of Parenting Communica…
Same-Sex Parenting
Although international scientific research and the position of professional associations reiterate that the parents' sexual orientation is not a criterion of parenting quality, the social recognition of same-sex parenting remains difficult in Portugal. Given the importance of forensic issues in this field, this study aims to identify the representations of psychologists, social workers, lawyers/attorneys, and judges regarding same-sex parenting. …
Family Rituals and Routines in the Developmental Trajectory of Urban Southern Angolan Families
Rituals and routines are fundamental parts of the family dynamic and contribute to its organization across generations. However, studies on these variables in the context of urban Southern Angolan families are scarce. Thus, this article aims to identify the rituals and routines that organize the development of families in urban Southern Angola through different life stages, using semistructured interviews with 20 professionals from various social…
Triarchic Model of Psychopathy
The present study examined the psychometric properties of a brief measure of the Triarchic model of psychopathy based on the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory (YPI-Tri-S) among a forensic sample of detained female youth offenders (M = 16.41 years; SD = 1.19 years) from Portugal. Results supported the expected three-factor structure and cross-gender measurement invariance. The YPI-Tri-S showed good psychometric properties in terms of factor stru…
“But … we are Africans!”
This study sought to explore and describe family life structuring and functioning in a southern Angolan setting. Informants were 20 people with an intimate knowledge of southern Angolan culture (females = 9, 45%; age range 26-88 years) and all employees in the health (n = 5; 25%), education (n = 8; 40%), juridical (n = 2; 10%), public administration (n = 2; 10 %) and faith-based organisations (n = 3; 15%) sectors. We engaged then in one-to-one in…
Caracterização da comunicação entre progenitores e filhos adolescentes
A comunicação estabelecida entre progenitores e filhos adolescentes parece depender, em grande medida, de algumas características sociodemográficas. Objetivo: Análise da comunicação em famílias com filhos adolescentes, considerando as variáveis: sexo, área de residência, nível socioeconómico, escolaridade e estrutura familiar. Método: Através de um desenho quantitativo/transversal, aplicou-se a Escala de Avaliação da Comunicação na Parentalidade …
Homoparentalidade
A homoparentalidade é uma temática que ativa opiniões e tomadas de posição nos vários setores da sociedade que, por sua vez, podem influenciar a postura de cada profissional que trabalha na área das responsabilidades parentais. Neste artigo pretende-se analisar as convergências e dissonâncias entre as disposições da Ordem Jurídica portuguesa e os princípios emergentes da investigação científica adotados por associações como a American Psychologic…
A comunicação parento-filial
A comunicação desempenha um papel central na relação progenitores-filhos, particularmente no exercício da parentalidade. Assim, foi desenhado um estudo misto (qualitativo/quantitativo) com o intuito de identificar as dimensões da comunicação mais destacadas por pais e filhos (7-16 anos). Para atingir este objetivo entrevistaram-se dez progenitores e realizaram-se dois grupos focais com dez filhos, sem correspondência de parentesco. A análise de c…
