Modeling localized social vulnerability through probabilistic simulation
Field trip activity in an ancient gold mine
Considering informal education and field trips as important didactical elements that promote science and scientific literacy (to know, to understand, to apply science), this article presents the work carried out in the gold mines of Castromil (city of Paredes, Portugal), a region with an unquestionable richness in terms of geological heritage. The field trip involved 166 students, ranging from 10 to 21 years of age, and was organized according to…
Acculturation Attitudes and Adaptation among Portuguese Immigrants in Germany
This study aims to understand preferences in acculturation strategies among Portuguese immigrants in Germany. The sample comprised 118 adults (mean age 41.9 years; SD 11.5). The average length of residence in Germany was 20.4 years (SD 9.1). Responses to the questionnaire revealed that integration was the most preferred acculturation strategy. Subjects who adopted an integration strategy manifested greater acculturation experience with German cul…
Religious Involvement and the Forgiving Personality
The relationship between religious involvement and forgiveness was assessed in three samples of Western Europeans living in a social environment dominated by the Catholic tradition. The samples comprised nonbelievers/nonattendees, believers/nonattendees, believers/regular attendees, and religious people. Age and religious involvement were shown to affect the willingness to forgive in an interactive way: The effect of religious involvement was str…

Foram administrados os seguintes instrumentos a todos os sujeitos: a escala revista de solidão, a escala de neuroticismo, a esca…
Predictors of Loneliness Among Adolescents From Portuguese Immigrant Families in Switzerland
The aims of this study were to find out the degree of loneliness among Portuguese adolescents from immigrant backgrounds in Switzerland, and the factors that may predict the level of loneliness among them. Portuguese immigration to Switzerland is a recent phenomenon with relatively high rates of immigrants. Three hypotheses were tested: loneliness scores of Portuguese adolescents living in Switzerland are not different from those of Portuguese ad…
Cross-Cultural Variations in Attitudes Toward Love
Using the Love Attitude Scale, the first objective of this study was to examine the extent to which Lee’s six-factor colors of love model was able to account for data gathered across a large number of countries in Africa, Asia, South America, and Europe. Confirmatory factor analyses showed that the structure postulated by Lee could be applied across multiple cultures. The second objective was to study possible cross-cultural variations in attitud…
Ranking of Romantic Acts among Cape Verdean and Portuguese Students
College students, 119 men and 116 women, from Cape Verde and Portugal ranked the importance of romantic acts. Comparisons between men and women and between Cape Verdean and Portuguese students showed no significant differences. An interesting finding was that "making love" was ranked the most important romantic act by men but only fifth by women in Portugal (behind cuddling, gazing, love letters, and kissing), whereas it was ranked third for both…
