The present paper aims at assessing the empiric validity of the factor structure of the Scale of Anti-Social and Criminal Conduct (SCS) in different countries. It is an assessment measure of the deviant conducts that has been frequently used with different samples and which can be seen as conducts that interfere in people’s rights and duties and threaten their social and individual welfare. The study encompassed 411 teenagers, that is, 137 in each country, with ages ranging from 13 to 18 (M = 15.71; DP = 1,65; Mo = 15). The results show that the SCS factor structure was consistent. They also confirmed the bi-factor organization of such measure seen in Brazilian studies. Moreover, their factor invariance stands out in samples from the countrie...

Their new situation requires an update and a new personal, academic, and social contextualization and, in this new universe, hazing plays a significant role. This study aimed to understand the phenomenon of hazing in Portugal, analyzing, specifically, the violent behaviors that can occur in this context. To this effect, we have developed the Questionnaire for the Assessment of Experience in Hazing (QAVPA)—a questionnaire that allows the analysis of Portuguese students’ hazing experiences and situations of violence. This questionnaire was applied to a sample consisting of 586 university students and ex-students who participated in hazing, 393 (67.1%) women and 193 (32.9%) men, with ages between 18 and 47 years ( M = 23.27, SD = 4.24). From the gathered data, 77.8% were victims of violence in hazing rituals, 86.9% witnessed violent practices, and 39.8% admitted having had violent behaviors towa...

O nosso principal objectivo foi o de analisar até que ponto é que a perceção de serem aceites ou rejeitados pelas suas figuras parentais e pelos professores desempenha um papel importante na forma como os estudantes do 9º ano estão preparados para fazer face às tarefas e escolhas vocacionais. Procuramos ainda verificar se existem diferenças entre rapazes e raparigas na perceção de aceitação-rejeição por parte das figuras parentais e professores, assim como na forma como os estudantes se adaptam às diferentes tarefas vocacionais. Desta forma, utilizamos o Questionário de Aceitação-Rejeição Parental (PARQ, Rohner, 2005), o Questionário de Aceitação-Rejeição do Professor (TARQ/Control, Rohner,...

The sample consisted of 785 Portuguese college students, 44% of whom were men. The participants ranged in age from 18 through 62 years ( M = 22.38). Measures used were Portuguese translations of the adult versions of the Parental Acceptance–Rejection Questionnaire for mothers and fathers, and the Personality Assessment Questionnaire, as well as the Parental Power–Prestige Questionnaire. Gender differences were found only in perceived parental power, with men perceiving fathers as being more powerful than did women. The study concluded that parental power (especially paternal power) moderated the relation between perceived paternal acceptance and women’s psychological adjustment. However, parental prestige (especially paternal prestige) moderated the relation between...

Neste sentido, foi realizado um estudo quantitativo com a utilização de dois questionários, o TARQ (Questionário de Aceitação-Rejeição do Professor) de Rohner (2005), o IPSA (Inventário de Processos de sala de aula) de Bastos, Barbosa, Oliveira e Dias (2009) assim como um questionário sociodemográfico. No que concerne à amostra utilizada, foi constituída por 184 alunos que frequentam o 6º ano de escolaridade na região norte do país. Os resultados principais indicam que a percepção de aceitação pelo professor se encontra correlacionada de for...

The study also assesses the prediction that these associations will not vary significantly by gender, ethnicity, language, culture, or other such defining conditions. To test these predictions a sample of 3,483 young adults in 13 nations responded to the mother and father versions of the Adult Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (short forms), Adult Personality Assessment Questionnaire (short form), the Interpersonal Relationship Anxiety Questionnaire, the Fear of Intimacy Scale, and the Revised Personal Information Form. Results of multigroup analyses showed that adults’ remembrances of both maternal and paternal rejection in childhood ind...

Results of multigroup analyses showed that adults’ remembrances of both maternal and paternal rejection in childhood independently predicted men’s and women’s fear of intimacy in all 13 countries. However, remembered maternal rejection was a significantly stronger predictor of adults’ fear of intimacy than was remembered paternal rejection. Results also confirmed the prediction in all 13 countries and across both genders that both maternal and paternal rejection independently predicted adults’ psychological maladjustment and relationship anxiety, which in turn predicted fear of intimacy. In addition, psychological maladjustment partially mediated the relation between remembrances of maternal and paternal rejection, and adults’ fear of intimacy in all 13 countries and both genders.

Cape Verdean youths’ upholding of traditional beliefs about
intimate partner violence (IPV) and the frequency of self reported violent behavior in dating relationships. The sample (n =404) consisted of 183 Cape Verdean and 221 Portuguese secondary school students of both sexes (56 % female; mean age = 16). We used two questionnaires that had previously been validated in the Portuguese population. The results revealed that young Cape Verdean adolescents uphold stronger traditional beliefs than Portuguese adolescents do, but there were no differences in overall prevalence of abuse between the two samples. The relationship between traditional beliefs and self-reported violence was significant only in the Cape Verdean sample, suggesting that campaigns against IPV have not, so far, been as effective in Cape Verde as inPortugal.

Este artigo apresenta e discute a análise da validade empírica da estrutura fatorial da sua versão Portuguesa. A amostra foi constituída por 443 estudantes, 305 do sexo feminino e 138 do sexo masculino, com idades compreendidas entre os 15 e os 23 anos de idade (M = 14,8; DP = 1,90; Mo = 20), maioritariamente de nacionalidade portuguesa (92,1%). Em 60,6% dos casos os/as estudantes frequentavam a universidade. Os resultados sugerem a adequação psicométrica do instrumento, corroborando a estrutura bifatorial proposta em estudos prévios. São discutidas as potencialidades da utilização do instrumento em Portugal. Palavras-chave: Condutas antissociais e delitivas, avaliação, estrutura fatorial, Portugal.

as having been a victim of this type of violence, sex, type of education, and
hierarchy level are associated with the perpetration of violence in this context.

No que concerne à amostra utilizada, foi constituída por 184 alunos que frequentam o 6º ano de escolaridade na região norte do país. Os resultados principais indicam que a perceção de aceitação pelo professor se encontra correlacionada de forma significativa com algumas dimensões específicas no contexto de sala de aula, nomeadamente a interação positiva entre o professor e os alunos e com a estimulação da linguagem. No que concerne ao desempenho escolar, encontraram-se correlações significativas tanto com a perceção de aceitação pelo professor como com as estratégias de ensino. É demonstrada a importância da relação interpessoal entre professor e aluno para o desempenho escolar deste último.

Os resultados obtidos mostram uma relação significativa entre aceitação do professor e as dimensões da adaptabilidade de carreira, ao contrário do que se passa relativamente às figuras parentais. Não se observaram diferenças significativas entre sexo masculino e feminino relativamente à perceção de aceitação-rejeição parental e por parte do professor, assim como de adaptabilidade de carreira. Os resultados sugerem uma maior preponderância da qualidade das relações interpessoais com os professores no desenvolvimento vocacional dos estudantes, realçando a importância da figura do professor na construção de carreira dos estudantes do 9º ano.

Só dessa forma é possível que a escola cumpra todas as funções psicossociais e educacionais que lhe são atribuídas. Nos últimos anos, o insucesso escolar e a falta de envolvimento com a escola têm sido largamente debatidos quer nos meios de comunicação social, quer nos meios políticos e educativos, retratando a relevância do tema e a crescente preocupação da sociedade em relação ao sistema educativo. A indisciplina por parte dos alunos, as queixas acerca da perda de autoridade da fi gura do professor e a sua consequente insatisfação são frequentes nos últimos anos, tornando o carácter relacional da escola um fator a explorar.

Cape Verdean youths’ upholding of traditional beliefs about
