14-Item Resilience Scale (RS-14): Psychometric Properties of the Brazilian Version

The Resilience Scale (RS) was developed to evaluate the levels of resilience in the general population. Its reduced version (RS-14) has presented reliable internal consistency and external validity. However, its psychometric properties have not been systematically evaluated. The objective of this study was to present the psychometric properties of the Brazilian RS-14. A total of 1,139 subjects selected by convenience (62.9% women) from 14 to 59 years old (M = 26.1, SD = 11.61) participated in the study. Exploratory factor analyses (EFAs) and parallel analysis were conducted in order to assess the factor structure of the scale. A 13-item single-factor solution was achieved. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) and multigroup CFA (MGCFA) corroborated the goodness of fit and measurement invariance of the obtained exploratory solution. The levels of resilience correlated negatively with depression and positively with meaning in life and self-efficacy.

Dimensionalidade da Escala de Estresse Percebido (Perceived Stress Scale, PSS-10) em uma Amostra de Professores

The present study aimed to investigate the dimensionality of the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) in a sample of school teachers (N = 517). An exploratory factor analysis done by the extraction method of minimum rank factor analysis, using polychoric correlation matrix and parallel analysis criterion for factor retention, indicated a one-factor solution as the best fit to the data. The items showed adequate factor loadings and the retained factor explained 67% of common scores variance, presenting internal consistency (a = .80). This study provides validity evidences of the PSS-10 for the Brazilian context.

Avaliação de uma proposta de prevenção do vazio existencial com adolescentes

The aim of this paper was to validate a preventive proposal of existential void in a group of high school students. 33 sophomore students participated in this study, 11 boys and 22 girls with average of 16.5 years old and amplitud of 14 and 18 years. The participants were distributed randomly in two groups. This way one experimental and one control group were constituted. The adolescents from the experimental group participated in an intervention program denominated prevention of existential void with the aim of increasing the sense of life sensation. In the first moment a pre-test (PIL test) was applied on both groups and, in the end, a post-test was also applied. For the data analysis, a T-student Test was used for repeated measures. The results suggest that the intervention promoted the development of the sense of life sensation, because the progression of existential realization level was noticed, as well as the regression of despair and existential void levels of the experimental group participants.

Sentido de Vida, Bem-Estar Psicológico e Qualidade de Vida em Professores Escolares

The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of meaning in life (MIL), psychological well-being (PWB) and quality of life (QOL) in a large sample of school teachers, and to observe to what extent the MIL could act as a moderator variable in the relation between PWB and general QOL. The study included 517 teachers from 57 public and private schools in the city of Campina Grande, Paraiba, Brazil, 174 men and 343 women (averaging 36.5 years old, SD = 10.34). The results showed that a signifi cant portion of professionals had negative indexes of MIL, PWB and QOL. Inferential analyses showed MIL as a predictor variable of both PWB and QOL. Moderation analysis demonstrated that the PWB and QOL showed distinct correlations for individuals with high and low levels of MIL. Refl ections for future research and occupational health interventions are suggested.El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar los indices de sentido de vida (SV), bienestar psicologico (BP) e calidad de vida (CV) en una amplia muestra de profesores escolares, y observar como el sentido de vida podria actuar como una variable moderadora de la relacion entre el BP y la CV general. Participaron del estudio 517 profesores, de 57 escuelas publicas y privadas de la ciudad de Campina Grande, Paraiba, Brazil, siendo 174 hombres y 373 mujeres (promedio de 36,5 anos, DE = 10,34). Los resultados mostraron que parte significativa de los profesionales presentaron indices negativos de SV, BP y CV. Analisis inferenciales mostraron al SV como una variable predictora, tanto de BP como de CV. Analisis de moderacion demostraron que BP y CV presentaron correlaciones diferentes en sujetos con altos y con bajos niveles de SV. Reflexiones para investigaciones futuras e intervenciones en salud del trabajador son senaladas.

Bullying e Homofobia: Aproximações Teóricas e Empíricas

This study aimed at verifying how the phenomena bullying and homophobia approach, comparing homophobia bullying among actors (author, target, target / authors and witnesses) and observing the homophobic content is used in verbal bullying. A descriptive and quantitative study with survey method was performed. 808 young people participated with an average age of 14.9 years (SD = 1.98), coming from nine state schools in Aracaju-SE. They answered a questionnaire containing demographic questions, about bullying, homophobia and a scale manifest and subtle. The results indicated that 32% were defined targets of bullying, 12% authors, 22% target / authors and only 34% of controls. The presence of homophobic content in verbal bullying was the second most frequent form among male participants (20%) and lower incidence among girls (2%). In addition, bullies adolescents had higher scores on the scale of homophobia, compared to targets (p <0.05).This study aimed at verifying how the phenomena bullying and homophobia approach, comparing homophobia bullying among actors (author, target, target / authors and witnesses) and observing the homophobic content is used in verbal bullying.

Analysis of Gender Equality Competence Present in Cultural Positions

Articular a dimensao de genero nas organizacoes e dificil, pois seus membros devem estar capacitados para adquirir posicionamentos que facilitem a possibilidade de solucoes que combatam desigualdades. O objetivo deste artigo foi identificar as competencias da igualdade de genero presentes nos tres tipos de posicionamentos culturais propostos por Castells em membros de uma prefeitura de Sevilha-Espanha, que pretendiam implementar o mainstreaming de genero. Participaram um total de 27 pessoas (16 mulheres e 11 homens). Na metodologia foi utilizada a analise do discurso. Os resultados indicaram que, enquanto no posicionamento projeto todas as competencias estavam presentes, no de resistencia, nao havia nenhuma delas. No caso dos legitimadores, observamos incompatibilidade nos discursos apresentados.

Aplicación del mainstreaming de género en las organizaciones a través de las certificaciones

Las desigualdades entre mujeres y hombres se siguen manteniendo en las organizaciones a pesar de los esfuerzos politicos y sociales realizados para afrontar este fenomeno. Las certificaciones de igualdad son reconocidas en Espana como uno de los instrumentos politicos disenados para combatir estos desequilibrios de genero a partir de la promulgacion de la Ley Organica no 3/2007 para la igualdad efectiva de mujeres y hombres. Este articulo tiene como objetivo identificar el enfoque desde el que las organizaciones, publicas y privadas, responsables de la promocion de certificaciones de igualdad de genero, estan respondiendo a la aplicacion del mainstreaming de genero. Aplicamos un analisis de contenido a partir del estudio de publicaciones relativas a las certificaciones. Los resultados muestran que estas certificaciones se conceden, en muchos casos, ignorando indicadores esenciales para implementar el enfoque de genero.
