Hoje, como ontem, um grande número de pessoas desloca-se por iniciativa própria ou é forçada a deslocar-se. Estes movimentos de indivíduos e grupos têm gerado novos tipos de relações sociais que, ao longo da história, têm assumido modalidades que variam entre a cooperação e o conflito aberto. Nos últimos anos, os países europeus têm sido procurados por muitos migrantes, em grande parte refugiados - um fenómeno que se contabiliza em números muito elevados e inclui situações dramáticas como as vividas por aqueles que atravessam o Mediterrâneo onde, ano após ano, se têm perdido largos milhares de vidas humanas. A pergunta que aqui se coloca é a seguinte: como são vividos, pelos cidadãos europeus, estes fluxos migratórios mais recentes e a chamada 'crise dos refugiados'?European Social Survey Round 7info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

The sample was composed of 101 children (8–10 years), collected from several schools in the Lisbon metropolitan area. Our main goals were to collect a survey of information about the beliefs, attitudes, habits and knowledge of children about oral and dental issues in order to not only have an overview of them but also to serve as a basis and a starting point for the development of intervention programs to increase positive attitudes and behaviors related to oral health and promote greater knowledge about these subjects. In general, children reported positive behaviors regarding dental habits and oral hygiene practices. Children’s opinions and beliefs about dentists were also globally positive; however, the results suggested that younger children reported more positive attitudes, emotions and previous experiences. Regarding children’s know...

Research paper thumbnail of Everyday life under the PIDE: A quantitative survey on the relations between ordinary citizens and Salazar’s political police (1955–74)

It is based on a quantitative survey of 400 respondents in four separate locations across Portugal and addresses two main research questions: To what extent did the sample of ordinary citizens experience the PIDE as a disruptive influence on their daily lives? Was the PIDE ‘normalized’ by them as part of the framework of everyday life? The data analysis calls upon the inputs of the international bibliography of everyday life under dictatorship and critically engages with the existing historiography of the PIDE.

The main purpose of this study was to translate, culturally adapt and validate a set of dehumanization traits proposed by Haslam and colleagues (Haslam & Bain, 2007; Haslam, Bain, Douge, Lee & Bastian, 2005), which measure both the denial of uniquely human and human nature traits. A sample of 597 individuals (Mage = 40.83; SD = 11.50) were asked to rate a set of 52 traits on how much they perceived each as a characteristic of human nature and human uniqueness, as well as its desirability. T-tests were conducted to distinguish between low and high rated traits in each dimension, and to construct clusters of traits that differ in each dimension. We successfully provide a measure containing positive traits in both senses of humanness dimensions; how...
