Partiu-se da tipologia de Triandis (1995), acrescentando dois novos componentes destes construtos: o protoindividualismo e o individualismo expressivo. Participaram do estudo 304 pessoas, a maioria do sexo feminino (62,5%), com idade média de 29 anos. Estes responderam a Escala Multi-Fatorial de Individualismo e Coletivismo (EMIC), a Escala de Identificação Endogrupal e uma lista de variáveis demográficas. Comprovou-se a estrutura multi-fatorial da EMIC através de uma análise fatorial confirmatória, que revelou índices aceitáveis de bondade de ajuste (chi2/g.l. = 2,38, AGFI = 0,85 e RMSEA = 0,07). Os Alfas de Cronbach das subescales se situaram entre 0,34 (individualismo horizontal) e 0,68 (coletivismo horizontal). Todos os fatores de individualismo e coletivismo se correlacionaram diretamente com o seu respectivo atributo ...

Foram considerados os dados do SAEB de 2001, especificamente os referentes aos alunos da 3ª série do Ensino Médio. Depois de controlar o efeito das variáveis de seletividade e composição escolar verificou-se uma correlação intraclasse de 0,17. Isso significa que 17% da variância no desempenho escolar podem ser atribuídos ao nível da escola. No modelo multinível final foram incluídas sete variáveis referentes ao aluno e nove variáveis referentes à escola. As variáveis com efeito mais forte concernentes ao aluno foram: atraso escolar e comparação do aluno com os colegas. Quanto à escola foram: recursos culturais agregado e atraso escolar agregado. Espera-se que o modelo final seja utilizado para a elaboração de políticas públicas visando o melhoramento do sistema educacional brasileiro.

Howewer, the difficulty to obtain a frame to consider a sampling design of alcoholic women, it was decided as an alternative the use of the Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS) method. The method allowed the presentation of indicators related to alcoholism based on a sample of 36 women selected from treatment centers. The results of the survey showed that of 91.7% of women who make excessive use of alcohol in combination with other drugs, 69.44% use marijuana and cigarettes. And, of the 30,087 women who consume alcohol, 24,371 need evaluation and treatment.

Because of its ease of application and good psychometric properties, the K10 has been adapted to several cultures. The present study seeks to adapt the K10 to Brazilian Portuguese and estimate its validity evidence and reliability. Methods A total of 1914 individuals from the general population participated in the study (age = 34.88, SD = 13.61, 77.7% female). The adjustment indices were compared among three different measurement models proposed for the K10 through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The items’ properties were analyzed by Andrich’s Rating Scale Model (RSM). Furthermore, evidence based on relations to other variables (depression, stress, anxiety, positive and negative affects, and satisfaction with life) was estimated. Results CFA indicated the adequacy of the bifactor model (CFI= 0.985; TLI= 0.973; SMR= ...

A presente pesquisa faz parte de uma das atividades desenvolvidas pelo Grupo de Pesquisa em Avaliacao Psicologica na Seguranca Publica, do Mestrado em Psicologia da UNIVERSO. Em um estudo profissiografico realizado inicialmente sobre os cargos da instituicao, a medida de raciocinio mostrou-se necessaria, dada sua necessidade para a boa execucao das tarefas previstas no cargo. Apesar desta importância, ha no mercado uma grande carencia de instrumentos psicologicos que deem conta desta medida. Neste sentido, o grupo se propos a contribuir com esta demanda, construindo um novo teste psicologico de raciocinio verbal. A construcao do instrumento teve como base a proposta de elaboracao de instrumentos que propAµe tres diferentes etapas. A primeira caracterizou-se pela realizacao ...

The pandemic also brought to the fore certain social practices resulting from individual behaviors, such as wearing a mask and practicing social isolation. It demonstrated the need for social commitment and pro-social behaviors if societies are to respond successfully. The purpose of this article is to evaluate psychological and sociodemographic characteristics associated with compliance or noncompliance of individuals with these practices in two different phases of the pandemic experience in Brazil: in the first month and after three months. Participants for the first phase of the study were recruited through advertisements in the media and social networks. 1,914 individuals aged between 14 and 81 years agreed to participate, 78.2% of th...

METHOD A total of 658 individuals of both sexes over 18 years of age were allocated into two groups: with dysphonia group (WDG) and vocally healthy group (VHG). A digital database was constructed with personal and professional data and item-by-item responses on the URICA-V scale. Subsequently, Cronbach's alpha, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), application of IRT using Samejima's model and ROC curve analysis were used to obtain the cutoff point for the URICA-V scale. RESULTS A different version of the original URICA-V scale was obtained. Of the 32 items from the original protocol, 25 better explained the instrument and were regrouped into two domains: contemplation and maintenance. It was possible to identify which items generated higher difficulty (b) and discrimination (a) values and w...

The practice of outsourcing in higher education had been carried out illegally in our country, however, this theme brings great political, social and educational repercussion after the approval of the bill, which authorizes outsourced work in all spheres, voted by the federal deputies in the March 22, 2017. Works over the last 10 years have been investigated in databases such as Scielo, Pepsic, LILACS. A total of 16 papers that dealt with the relationships between outsourcing and precariousness of the university professor have been selected. However, despite the scarce literature, the studies emphasized relevant aspects because they unanimously evidence that this practice promotes discouragement, demotivation, devaluation, accumulation of functions, and several factors which contribute to illness. Therefore, it is essential that this theme be...

Despite the relevance of their findings in different countries, a shared limitation of such measures is their length, demanding time from researchers and participants, which might cause boredom or fatigue, biasing the final results. This research aimed to provide a shorter version for the 44-Item Big Five Inventory (BFI), through two studies (NTotal = 8,119). The structure was assessed using a range of techniques (e.g., PAF analysis, Procrustes rotation). The best 20 items (4 per factor) were chosen to compose the final version of the BFI-20, which presented suitable psychometric evidences across the samples. Thus, due the growing need for shorter measures without losing their psychometric quality, our findings indicate the adequacy of the 20-item BFI and its potential applicability in res...

Objetivou-se adaptar a Escala de Autoeficácia no Uso de Preservativos para o contexto brasileiro. Para isso, foram realizados dois estudos a partir de um questionário online. O Estudo 1 contou com 332 participantes da população geral, a maioria mulheres (63,6%), com média de idade de 25,2 anos (DP = 7,4). A análise fatorial exploratória identificou quatro fatores: Habilidade, Assertividade, Prazer e Drogas e Doenças sexualmente transmissíveis, explicando 66,8% da variância. O Estudo 2 contou com 907 participantes, com média de idade de 23,6 anos (DP = 6,1). A análise fatorial confirmatória apresentou os seguintes indicadores de ajuste: GFI = 0,93; CFI = 0,91; RMSEA = 0,08 (IC90% = 0,07-0,09). Os resultados comprovam a adequação da medida, reunindo evidências de validade. Discute-se a importância desta medida em pesquisas na área de saúde.
