The Forms of Self-Criticising & Self-Reassuring Scale - Short Form for Adolescents
Lifespan perspective on self-compassion
Developmental stages present challenges that prepare the individual for new roles. Self-compassion may be a protective factor across this process. The present study aims to: (1) compare self-compassion scores in adolescence, young adulthood, adulthood, and older adulthood using a cross-sectional design and a continuous multigenerational sample; (2) study gender comparisons across age-groups; and (3) study gender comparisons within each age-group.…
Children’s Perspectives on Using Serious Games as a Complement to Promoting Their Social–Emotional Skills
The use of serious games may be an appealing and complementary way to motivate curriculum-based social and emotional learning (SEL); still, investigation into this potential usefulness is scarce. This study aims to address the usefulness of serious games within the program 'Me and Us of Emotions'. Specifically, we analyzed the differences in children's satisfaction in sessions that did or did not use serious games as a complement to the intervent…
Validation of the Risk-Taking and Self-Harm Inventory for Adolescents in a Portuguese Community Sample
This article aims to adapt and validate the Risk-Taking and Self-Harm Inventory for Adolescents (RTSHIA) in Portuguese. Results confirm the 2-factor structure originally proposed (risk-taking and self-harm). Both dimensions presented an adequate internal reliability and temporal stability. Convergent validity and sociodemographic differences are analyzed. Preventive and clinical implications are discussed
O impacto das memórias de vergonha na adolescência
