Mujeres informadas y desinformadas; mujeres comunicadas e incomunicadas. Trazabilidad, posverdad, desinformación y fake

Political elite social listening
Most studies on political actors’ use of Twitter focus on content and social network analysis, but not on their motivations and passive usage. We applied a questionnaire to a significant sample of 94 Members of Parliament (MPs), with a quota sample sized by political party representation in Parliament, to survey their motivations to have or not a Twitter account and their uses. We concluded that MPs see Twitter mostly as a political tool unlike o…
Mapping acceptance and commitment therapy outcomes in the context of infertility
Evidence suggests that individuals with infertility are confronted with psychosocial challenges. This has led to a significant number of studies highlighting the subsequent negative effects on mental health. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has already been established as having a beneficial effect on psychological issues related to other health conditions. Since infertility is a relevant stressor, ACT was also expected to have a protectiv…
Para além da Bolha (de filtro)

Tendo por referência as teorias de autores clássicos, investigações realizadas desde os finais do século xx permitem atualizar e alargar o potencial heurístico deste conceito…
Maternal sensitivity in early childhood and body mass index in adolescence
Maternal sensitivity has been implicated in various aspects of child health and development, including overweight. However, long-term effects, the role of paternal sensitivity and the explanatory pathways are unclear. This study examined whether maternal sensitivity in early childhood is prospectively associated with adolescent body mass index and whether children's self-regulation mediates this relation. Data from 540 children and their mothers …

Most of these students do not intend to continue their studies from the point where they stopped; rather, they want to prepare for specific tests in order to have direct access to higher education courses, which in Portugal is a legal option for students over the age of 23. In response t…
