  • Corruption erodes people's beliefs in morality and justice

    Open AccessMiguel R Ramos, Marcelo Moriconi et al.ARTICLEPolitical Psychology2026References: 38

    In this research, we argue that corruption adversely affects individuals' perceived morality of politicians and their sense of justice, eroding some key values by which societies are guided. We further analyzed how the erosion of these key values might be negatively associated with people's well‐being. We found support for our contentions through multiple studies, including a cross‐national study comprising 82 countries surveyed over 32 years (St…

  • Exploring the interaction between negative and positive intergroup contact among disabled people

    Open AccessCarla Branco, Miguel R Ramos et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2024References: 6

    This study integrates research on intergroup contact and the rejection–identification model to examine how negative and positive contact interact to influence both the health and well-being as well as the group identification (assessed as ingroup affect, ingroup ties, and centrality) of disabled people. We analysed data from a week-long diary study (Study 1; N = 83) and a longitudinal study (Study 2; N = 87) with three waves separated by 1 year. …

  • The interaction between social equality and personal assistance

    Carla Branco, Miguel R Ramos et al.ARTICLEDisability & Society2021References: 15

We examine how the existence of PA legislation influences the effect of social equality on the health and well-being of disabled people. Multilevel analysis was performed using data from the European Social Sur…

  • The Association of Group‐Based Discrimination with Health and Well‐Being

    Open AccessCarla Branco, Miguel R Ramos et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Issues2019Cited by: 15References: 5

    Discrimination has negative consequences for the health and well‐being (HWB) of individuals belonging to disadvantaged groups. Due to social and attitudinal barriers, we argue that disabled people comprise one of the groups most affected by discrimination. Using data from the European Social Survey, including representative samples from 32 countries surveyed in seven waves (2002–2014), we compared the effects of ableism on HWB with discrimination…

  • O consumo de tabaco numa instituição universitária

    Open AccessMarina Prista Guerra, Maria Prista Guerra et al.ARTICLEAnálise Psicológica2012

    O tabagismo tem-se revelado como um grande inimigo da saúde pública e concomitantemente como um dos comportamentos mais difíceis de mudar. Muitos fumadores adquirem uma dependência fisiológica da nicotina associada ao “hábito” o que pode provocar uma síndrome de abstinência difícil de ultrapassar. Os processos neurobiológicos da nicotina têm vindo a ser amplamente estudados e tornando-se parcialmente responsáveis pelas reduzidas taxas de cessação…
