The Role of Affect Regulation in Linking Mindfulness in Teaching and Teachers’ Job Satisfaction
The teaching profession and its associated conditions are demanding, exposing teachers to significant stress that adversely impacts mental health and job satisfaction. Moreover, research indicates that mindfulness in teaching correlates with positive classroom emotions and work engagement, suggesting a potential link to job satisfaction. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain underexplored. Recognizing the critical role of af…

Tracking narrative change in post-intervention focus groups for teachers
Reliable and systematic qualitative methodologies to assess participants’ change after group interventions are scarce. This study outlines a methodolo5gical approach to use in focus groups, allowing the elicitation and coding of participants’ change talk after a group intervention. A Change Elicitation Script for Focus Groups was developed and its viability for evoking participants’ discussion around change was tested. Following a self-compassion…

(ii) Understand the co-research methodology as an appropriate instrument for increasing the participatory capacity of older people and improving the conditions for ageing in place. (iii) Assess the role of…

Portuguese Version of the Ageing Attitudes Questionnaire (AAQ)
The Ageing Attitudes Questionnaire—AAQ was validated for the Portuguese population to understand the importance of attitudes towards old age and their impact on the subjective well-being of older adults. A sample of 400 subjects (from 18 to 93 years) answered a socio-demographic questionnaire, and the AAQ, composed of three subscales (psychosocial losses, physical change, and psychological growth). The CFA confirmed the tri-factorial structure wi…
Psychometric Properties of the Spontaneity Assessment Inventory-Revised (SAI-R)
Spontaneity and its connections to mental health and wellbeing are a central issue in both theory and practice of psychodrama, and the specialized literature sometimes even associates the presence of pathology to a lack of spontaneity. This paper describes spontaneity in Moreno's theory, its assessment, its association with other measures and concepts, and scientific advances in the field. Specifically, we present results obtained with the Englis…
Unhealthy lifestyles, environment, well-being and health capability in rural neighbourhoods
Metabolic risk factors reflect unhealthy lifestyles and can be associated with environment contextual-dependent circumstances. People-centred approaches highlight wider socioeconomic and (natural) environmental determinants reflecting health needs, health expectations and health capability. Our community-based program and cross-disciplinary research provides insights that may improve health-promoting changes in rural neighbourhoods
Aging and health
OBJECTIVE To validate the Escala de Autoeficácia para a Autodireção na Saúde (EAAS – Self-efficacy for Self-direction in Health Scale). METHODS Non-experimental quantitative study of EAAS validation, by confirmatory factorial analyses, evaluating a sample of 508 older adults from the north and the center of Portugal with mean age of 71.67 (from 51 to 96 years), to whom the Self-efficacy for Self-direction in Health Scale, the Rosenberg Self-estee…
The emergence of sex differences in personality traits in early adolescence
Although large international studies have found consistent patterns of sex differences in personality traits among adults (i.e., women scoring higher on most facets), less is known about cross-cultural sex differences in adolescent personality and the role of culture and age in shaping them. The present study examines the NEO Personality Inventory-3 (McCrae, Costa, & Martin, 2005) informant ratings of adolescents from 23 cultures (N = 4,850), and…
Neo-Ffi
The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties (validity and reliability) of the Portuguese adaptation of the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) and to compare the obtained structure to the original North American version. The methods of analysis used for cross-validation of the factorial structure were the Principal Axis Factoring (PAF) and the Confi rmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). PAF reproduced the original structure of NEO-FF…
The Portuguese version of the NEO-FFI
The present study aims to present descriptive and multivariate data obtained with the NEO-FFI, a reduced version of the NEO-PI-R, with a sample of Portuguese participants. To make possible this objective, the personality inventory was administered to 1178 subjects, 68% were female, with ages between 18 and 90 years (M = 41.8, SD = 22.3). The Portuguese version of the NEO-FFI reflects the universality of basic dimensions of personality and may, th…

Gender Stereotypes of Personality
Numerous studies have documented subtle but consistent sex differences in self-reports and observer-ratings of five-factor personality traits, and such effects were found to show well-defined developmental trajectories and remarkable similarity across nations. In contrast, very little is known about perceived gender differences in five-factor traits in spite of their potential implications for gender biases at the interpersonal and societal level…

Stereotypes of age differences in personality traits
Age trajectories for personality traits are known to be similar across cultures. To address whether stereotypes of age groups reflect these age-related changes in personality, we asked participants in 26 countries (N = 3,323) to rate typical adolescents, adults, and old persons in their own country. Raters across nations tended to share similar beliefs about different age groups; adolescents were seen as impulsive, rebellious, undisciplined, pref…

Personality and Subjective Well-Being
Perceptions of aging across 26 cultures and their culture-level associates.
College students (N=3,435) in 26 cultures reported their perceptions of age-related changes in physical, cognitive, and socioemotional areas of functioning and rated societal views of aging within their culture. There was widespread cross-cultural consensus regarding the expected direction of aging trajectories with (a) perceived declines in societal views of aging, physical attractiveness, the ability to perform everyday tasks, and new learning;…
National Character Does Not Reflect Mean Personality Trait Levels in 49 Cultures
Most people hold beliefs about personality characteristics typical of members of their own and others' cultures. These perceptions of national character may be generalizations from personal experience, stereotypes with a “kernel of truth,” or inaccurate stereotypes. We obtained national character ratings of 3989 people from 49 cultures and compared them with the average personality scores of culture members assessed by observer ratings and self-r…
