Scholars assert that this growth is due to the new viewpoint that this theory envisions for the human being. In this new perspective there are the so-called human strengths, resilience, particularly, that added to creativity may potentialize the positive aspects of the individual. This study aimed at investigating the relationship between resilience characteristics and creativity in people who excel in different areas. For this purpose, the scale Pillars of Resilience (EPR), the Creativity Test of BAICA, Thinking and Creating Styles test and the Questionnaire for Creative Achievements were utilized. The sample consisted of 24 people (male = 8, female = 16) with ages ranging from 32 to 60 years old. The participants were divided into two groups: regular people (N = 12) and outstanding people (N = 12). The procedure consisted in applying the aforementioned tools on the participants of each group. The results of the analysis that seek significant differences between the groups showed that differences exist for the group outstanding concerning the following instruments: the EPR, item Positive Acceptance for the Future; the Creativity Tests of BAICA, figural on activity 1, in the characteristic originality, and on verbal activities 2 and 3, the characteristics fluency and originality. Regarding the other instruments, no differences were noticed. Significant relationships between creative production of the participants in the same instruments were also investigated. The results demonstrated significant differences only in the EPR, on items Good Humor and Positive Direction for the Future. Concerning the other instruments, there were no significant differences between groups. As for the differences between genders, the results showed significant differences with the prevalence of males regarding the following instruments: the test Thinking and Creating Styles, styles Nonconformist/Transformer and Logical/Objective; EPR in the positive acceptance for change and positive direction for the future. The remaining instruments demonstrated no significant differences between genders. It is therefore possible to conclude that the objectives were partially met. We suggest further studies on the subject with larger samples. / A Psicologia Positiva vem ganhando cada dia mais destaque no meio cient?fico. Estudiosos afirmam que este crescimento ocorre devido ao novo olhar que essa teoria apresenta para o ser humano. Nesse novo olhar destacam-se as chamadas for?as humanas, em espec?fico a resili?ncia. Quando somada ? criatividade pode potencializar os aspectos positivos do indiv?duo. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar rela??es entre caracter?sticas da resili?ncia e criatividade em pessoas que se destacam em diferentes ?reas. Para tanto, utilizou-se a escala dos Pilares da Resili?ncia (EPR), o teste de criatividade da BAICA, o teste Estilos de Pensar e Criar e o question?rio de realiza??es criativas. A amostra foi composta por 24 pessoas (masculino=8, feminino=16) com idades ente 32 a 60 anos. Os participantes foram agrupados em pessoas com destaque (N=12) e sem destaque (N=12). O procedimento consistiu na aplica??o dos instrumentos nos participantes. Os resultados das an?lises buscando diferen?as significativas entre os grupos demonstraram que diferen?as existem para o grupo destaque nos seguintes instrumentos: na EPR no item aceita??o positiva para o futuro; no teste de criatividade, da BAICA na atividade 1, figural, na caracter?stica originalidade e atividades verbais 2 e 3, nas caracter?sticas flu?ncia e originalidade. Nos demais instrumentos n?o se notaram diferen?as. As rela??es significativas entre produ??o criativa dos participantes nos mesmos instrumentos foram tamb?m investigadas. Os resultados apontaram diferen?as significativas apenas na EPR nos itens bom humor e orienta??o positiva para o futuro. Nos demais instrumentos n?o ocorreram diferen?as significativas entre os grupos. Quanto ?s diferen?as entre os g?neros, os resultados demonstraram diferen?as significativas com predom?nio do g?nero masculino, nos seguintes instrumentos: no teste Estilos de Pensar e Criar, nos estilos Inconformista Transformador e L?gico Objetivo; na EPR em aceita??o positiva para mudan?as e orienta??o positiva para o futuro. Nos demais instrumentos n?o foram detectadas diferen?as significativas entre os g?neros. Conclui-se que os objetivos foram alcan?ados parcialmente. Sugere-se mais estudos sobre o tema com amostras maiores.

To assess them, it is important to build and adapt valid and reliable instruments. The main objectives of this dissertation were to translate, adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Young Parenting Inventory (YPI) for the Brazilian context, as seek associations between the YPI and Familiogram Test (FG). In current study, YPI was adapted to Portuguese by backtranslation method. Content analyses were made by five judges. 920 high school and college students (543 females), whose ages were between 14 and 69 years (M = 21.3, SD = 6.1), filled out the research instruments. Data were collected in Natal, Petrolina and Brasilia cities and Porto Alegre metropolitan region. The results confirmed the existence of five factors. Final version of the YPI was composed by 49 items. Exploratory factorial analysis (principal components) were conducted using oblimin rotation. Five factors extracted explained 45.12% of the maternal scale variance and 47.59% of paternal scale. Each factor explained, at least, 3% of the variance and showed Eigenvalue over than 1.5. All items have factorial loadings values above 0.3. The confirmatory factorial analysis has showed fit statistics reasonably adequate: for maternal scale, &#61539; ? [1114] = 4636.38, p < 0.001, &#61539; ? / df = 4.16, with GFI = 0.83, AGFI = 0.81 and RMSEA = 0.06; for paternal scale, &#61539; ? [1114] = 5133.69 p < 0.001, &#61539; ? / df = 4.61, with GFI = 0.81, AGFI = 0.79 and RMSEA = 0,06. Thus, final instrument was composed by the following factors: (I) Disconnection and Rejection (&#61537; = 0.89 and 0.90), (II) Affectivity and Emotional Stability (&#61537; = 0.85 and 0.88); (III) Overvigilance and Other Directedness (&#61537; = 0.83 and 0.85), (IV) Overprotection and Impaired Autonomy (&#61537; = 0.78 and 0.79) and (V) Impaired Limits (&#61537; = 0.66 and 0.71). Finally, relations between the YPI and FG were assessed. Pearson's correlations between the YPI and FG showed moderated associations, particularly between the factors Affectivity (YPI) and Affection (FG) (r = 0.69 and 0.7 for maternal and paternal scale, respectively); and the factors Disconnection and Rejection (YPI) and Conflict (FG) (r = 0.59 and 0.58). The regression models indicated that over than 40% of variance of factors of FG can be predicted by factors of YPI. Beta coefficients for Affection-Affectivity relation were 0.67 (maternal scale) and 0.53 (paternal scale); for Disconnection-Conflict relation were 0.31 (maternal scale) and 0.44 (paternal scale). We conclude the YPI has adequate psychometric parameters and can be used in future research in this area. However, adjustments in the structure of the YPI were made. Moreover, it is suggested further studies to consider other samples and variables, increasing the knowing of parenting styles and the Young&#8223;s theory in the Brazilian context / Os estilos parentais referem-se ?s caracter?sticas globais de intera??es entre pais e filhos. Para sua avalia??o, ? importante que instrumentos v?lidos e fidedignos sejam constru?dos e adaptados. Dentro desta perspectiva, a presente disserta??o teve como objetivo traduzir, adaptar e estudar as propriedades psicom?tricas do Invent?rio de Estilos Parentais de Young (YPI) para o contexto brasileiro. Buscou-se avaliar tamb?m as associa??es entre o YPI e o Teste Familiograma (FG). Nessa pesquisa, o YPI foi adaptado ao portugu?s atrav?s do m?todo de tradu??o reversa (Backtranslation). As an?lises de conte?do foram realizadas por cinco ju?zes. Para realiza??o das an?lises emp?ricas do YPI, contou-se com a participa??o de 920 estudantes do Ensino M?dio e Superior, com idades entre 14 e 69 anos (M = 21,3; DP = 6,1), sendo 543 do sexo feminino (59%). Eles responderam ao YPI, FG e question?rio s?cio-demogr?fico. Os dados foram coletados nas cidades de Natal, Petrolina, Bras?lia e na regi?o metropolitana de Porto Alegre. Os resultados obtidos confirmaram a exist?ncia de cinco fatores. A vers?o final do YPI foi composta de 49 itens. An?lises fatoriais explorat?rias (Componentes Principais) foram conduzidas, utilizando a rota??o oblimin. Os cinco fatores extra?dos explicaram 45,12% da vari?ncia da escala materna e 47,59% da escala paterna. Cada fator explicou, no m?nimo, 3% da vari?ncia e apresentou Eigenvalue superior a 1,5. Todos os itens apresentaram cargas fatoriais acima de 0,3. As an?lises fatoriais confirmat?rias apresentaram ?ndices de ajuste razoavelmente adequados: para a escala materna, &#61539;? [1114] = 4636,38 p < 0,001, &#61539;?/gl = 4,16, com GFI=0,83, AGFI=0,81 e RMSEA=0,06; para a escala paterna, &#61539;? [1114] =5133,69 p < 0,001, &#61539;?/gl = 4,61, com GFI=0,81, AGFI=0,79 e RMSEA=0,06. Assim, a vers?o final do instrumento foi composta pelos seguintes fatores: (I) Desconex?o e Rejei??o (&#61537;=0,89 e 0,90); (II) Afetividade e Estabilidade Emocional (&#61537;=0,85 e 0,88); (III) Hipervigil?ncia e Orienta??o para o Outro (&#61537;=0,83 e 0,85); (IV) Superprote??o e Autonomia Prejudicada (&#61537;=0,78 e 0,79); e (V) Limites Prejudicados (&#61537;=0,66 e 0,71). Finalmente, as rela??es entre o YPI e o FG foram avaliadas. As correla??es de Pearson entre o YPI e o FG indicaram associa??es moderadas, principalmente, entre os Fatores Afetividade, do YPI e Afeto, do FG (r=0,69 e 0,7, para as escala materna e paterna, respectivamente); bem como entre os Fatores Desconex?o e Rejei??o, do YPI e Conflito, do FG (r=0,59 e 0,58). Os modelos explicativos, das an?lises de regress?o, indicaram que mais de 40% da vari?ncia dos fatores do FG podem ser preditos por fatores do YPI. Os coeficientes Beta para a rela??o Afetividade-Afeto foram de 0,67 (escala materna) e 0,53 (escala paterna); para a rela??o Desconex?o-Conflito foram de 0,31 (escala materna) e 0,44 (escala paterna). Conclui-se que o YPI apresenta par?metros psicom?tricos adequados, podendo ser utilizado em pesquisas futuras nesta ?rea. N?o obstante, ajustes na estrutura do YPI foram realizados. Ademais, sugere-se a realiza??o de novos estudos que considerem tamb?m outras amostras e vari?veis, ampliando a compreens?o dos estilos parentais e da teoria de Young no contexto brasileiro

In a parallel discussion, computerized psychological instruments, for a hand, reflects the development of information technology and your applicability to other areas, but also shows little advance for Psychological Assessment. In this perspective, this study aims to adapt the Exercise Dependence Scale (EDS-R) in two formats (paper-and-pencil and computerized) and evaluate evidence of factorial and convergent validity, and reliability of each version and compare them with each other. It is also proposed to observe the relationship of some bio-demographic (Sex, age, frequency, duration and intensity of practice exercise) and the exercise dependence (DEF). For this purpose, 709 regular physical activity practitioners, selected by procedures non-probabilistic sampling, responded a adapted version of EDS-R, Muscle Appearance Satisfaction Scale (MASS), Body Modification Scale (BMS) and a demographic questionnaire, analyzed through Exploratory Factor Analysis, Cronbach's Alpha and not parametric tests. Both the traditional version and the computer showed a seven factors structure, explaining 57 and 62% of the variance, respectively, and Cronbach's alphas of 0.83 and 0.89. Factors were: (1) intentionality, (2) continuity, (3) tolerance, (4) reduction of other activities, (5) lack of control, (6) abstinence and (7) time spent on exercise. Relationships were observed between the Exercise Dependence and the variables: age, diets, consumption of food supplements and medicines for weight change, desire to do plastic surgery and body satisfaction. We observed also a positive correlation between the DEF and the frequency, duration and intensity of exercise, and the factor "Dependence on exercising" from MASS, indicating convergent validity of the EDS-R. Finally, comparisons between the two formats were equivalent, with few changes: computerized version achieved higher DEF scores. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the EDS-R has factorial and convergent validity, reliability, to measure exerceise dependence on traditional e computerized formats. DEF is related to actions used to body modification and behaviors toward exercise. Finally, it was found equivalence between the formats, especially in psychometric parameters, thus suggesting feasibility of a computerized assessment. However, it was observed that the computerized data has sample recruiting strategies more limited / Embora traga benef?cios f?sicos e psicol?gicos, a pr?tica excessiva de atividade f?sica poderia ser ou desencadear um comportamento compulsivo, tornando o indiv?duo dependente deste. Em uma discuss?o paralela, cita-se a informatiza??o de instrumentos de medida em Psicologia, que se, por um lado, reflete o pleno desenvolvimento da inform?tica e aplicabilidade desta para outras ?reas, por outro evidencia tamb?m paradoxalmente pouco avan?o da mesma no campo da Avalia??o Psicol?gica. Nesta perspectiva, o presente estudo visa adaptar para o contexto nacional a Escala de Depend?ncia de Exerc?cio (EDS-R), em duas vers?es (papel-e-l?pis e informatizada), bem como verificar evid?ncias de validade fatorial, convergente e consist?ncia interna de cada vers?o e compar?-las entre si. Prop?e-se, ainda, a observar a rela??o de algumas vari?veis bio-demogr?ficas (g?nero, idade, frequ?ncia, dura??o e intensidade com que pratica exerc?cio) na depend?ncia de exerc?cio f?sico (DEF). Para tanto, 709 praticantes de atividade f?sica regular, selecionados por procedimentos de amostragem n?o-probabil?stica e acidental, responderam a vers?o adaptada da EDS-R, a Escala de Satisfa??o com a Apar?ncia Muscular (MASS), a Escala de Modifica??o Corporal (BMS) e question?rio s?cio-bio-demogr?fico, analisados por meio de An?lise Fatorial Explorat?ria, c?lculo do Alfa de Cronbach e testes inferenciais n?o param?tricos. Tanto a vers?o tradicional como a informatizada apresentaram uma estrutura de sete fatores, explicando 57 e 62% da vari?ncia compartilhada, respectivamente, assim como Alfas de Cronbach de 0,83 e 0,89. Os fatores foram: (1) intencionalidade, (2) continuidade, (3) toler?ncia, (4) redu??o de outras atividades, (5) falta de controle, (6) abstin?ncia e (7) tempo gasto em exerc?cio. Foram observadas rela??es positivas entre a Depend?ncia de Exerc?cio e as vari?veis idade, pr?tica de dietas, consumo de suplementos alimentares e medicamentos para altera??o de massa corporal, desejo de fazer cirurgia pl?stica e satisfa??o corporal. Observou-se, ainda, uma correla??o positiva entre a DEF e a frequ?ncia, dura??o e intensidade com que se pratica exerc?cio, bem como com o fator Depend?ncia em malhar da MASS, indicando, assim, validade convergente da EDS-R. Por fim, quanto ?s compara??es entre as duas vers?es de coleta, estas foram equivalentes, com poucas altera??es, tendo a vers?o informatizada atingido escores mais elevados de DEF. Com base em tais resultados, pode-se concluir que a EDS-R apresenta evid?ncias de validade fatorial, convergente e consist?ncia interna para identifica??o da Depend?ncia de exerc?cio f?sico nas vers?es tradicional e informatizada, bem como est? relacionada a a??es empregadas para modifica??o corporal e comportamentos voltados para o exerc?cio. Por fim, constatou-se uma equival?ncia entre as vers?es tradicional e informatizada, sobretudo nos par?metros psicom?tricos estrutura fatorial e ?ndices de consist?ncia interna, sugerindo, portanto, uma viabilidade de avalia??es informatizadas. No entanto, observou-se que a coleta informatizada possui estrat?gias de recrutamento um pouco mais limitadas

A obesidade grave ? caracterizada por IMC>40, frequentemente associada a altera??es cl?nicas end?crino-metab?licas ou mec?nicas e transtornos psicol?gicos; o quadro de Compuls?o Alimentar Peri?dica (CAP) tem alta incid?ncia nesta popula??o. A cirurgia Bari?trica vem sendo o tratamento de escolha para a obesidade grave, por apresentar r?pido emagrecimento e melhora nas condi??es cl?nicas. T?m-se verificado aumento de peso ap?s dois anos de cirurgia em 20% a 30% dos casos. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa ? avaliar caracter?sticas psicol?gicas e comportamentais entre obesos graves submetidos ? Cirurgia Bari?trica do tipo Bypass G?strico h? pelo menos 24 meses. Foram investigados aspectos espec?ficos como, (1) caracter?sticas do funcionamento personalidade e presen?a de transtornos cl?nicos e de personalidade; (2) a incid?ncia de CAP e sua rela??o com perda de peso; (3) a diferen?a entre os grupos em rela??o aos acompanhamentos p?s-cir?rgicos; atividade f?sica, acompanhamento psicol?gico e nutricional. M?todo: 40 adultos (homens e mulheres), com idades entre 23 a 60 anos, submetidos ? cirurgia bari?trica h? pelo menos 24 meses, na cidade de Natal-RN, foram divididos em dois grupos com n= 20, Grupo de Ganho, com perda < 50% do peso excedente inicial, e o Grupo de Perda, com perda >50%. O protocolo de pesquisa foi composto por question?rio biossociodemogr?fico, o m?todo de Rorschach ? Sistema Compreensivo (SC); Invent?rio de Personalidade de Millon (MCMI-III); e Escala de Compuls?o Alimentar Peri?dica (ECAP). Atrav?s do m?todo de Rorschach foram evidenciadas diferen?as significativas entre os dois grupos, relacionadas aos tipos vivenciais (EB), maior presen?a de EB Extratensivo no Grupo Ganho e Intratensivo no Grupo de Perda; e ao descontrole na express?o dos afetos, com eleva??o de respostas de Cor Pura no Grupo Ganho. Em rela??o ? popula??o normativa do SC, a amostra como um todo apresentou maior tend?ncia a experienciar sofrimento ps?quico, auto percep??o denegrida, autocr?tica excessiva, distor??es perceptivas, vulnerabilidade a desenvolver transtornos afetivos e eleva??o da pontua??o na Constela??o de Suic?dio. O MCMI-III indicou maior incid?ncia de transtornos cl?nicos e de personalidade no Grupo Ganho: Transtorno Depressivo e Esquizot?pico, Ansiedade, Distimia, Depress?o Maior; Transtorno do Pensamento, Bipolar- Man?aco e Transtornos de Estresse P?s-Traum?tico. Os resultados da ECAP indicaram diferen?a significativa, com eleva??o de CAP no Grupo de Ganho como tamb?m, entre a gravidade de CAP e presen?a de transtornos cl?nicos e de personalidade. Em rela??o aos acompanhamentos foi encontrada diferen?a significativa no quesito atividade f?sica com mediana elevada no Grupo de Perda. Os grupos ainda se diferenciaram em rela??o ao peso inicial e tempo p?scir?rgico, indicando que quanto maior o peso inicial e tempo percorrido maior o aumento de peso p?s-cir?rgico. Os resultados ainda revelam que os participantes com mais de 3 anos de tempo cirurgia, apresentam eleva??o na presen?a de Transtornos Cl?nicos de Transtorno Depressivo Maior; Transtorno Somatoforme; Distimia. Tais resultados corroboram conclus?es de estudos sobre a rela??o entre CAP p?s-cir?rgico e novo ganho de peso, como tamb?m acerca de maior incid?ncia de transtornos cl?nicos na popula??o obesa grave. Conclui-se que o processo cir?rgico ? apenas uma faceta do tratamento da obesidade grave, e que o acompanhamento p?s-cir?rgico deve receber maior aten??o e ocorrer em longo prazo para a manuten??o n?o s? dos resultados cir?rgicos, como da melhoria da qualidade de vida dos pacientes. / Obesity is a chronic disease that has multi-factorial aetiology, characterized by high degree of body fat; the degree of obesity will vary according to the Body Mass Index (BMI=m2 /kg). The severe degree of obesity is characterized by BMI>40 and it is regularly associated to endocrine-metabolic or mechanic clinical alterations, and to psychological disorders. Binge Eating (BE) results were overly high for this population. The Bariatric Surgery has been the treatment chosen by those diagnosed with severe obesity as this intervention provides prompt outcomes for loss of weight and clinical improvement conditions. However, recent research has acquiesced that after two years between 20% and 30% of people subject to this intervention gained weight. The main objective of this research is to assess the psychological and behavioral characteristics of those diagnosed with severe obesity that have been subject to Gastric Bypass Surgery in the past 24 months. Specific aspects were investigated: (1) characteristics of different personalities and diagnose of clinic and personality disorders; (2) BE and its relation with loss of weight; (2) the difference between the groups regarding post-surgery care, e.g. physical activity, psychological and dietician input. Method: 40 adults (women and men) aged 23 and 60 year-old who went through a bariatric surgery in the past 24 months, in the city of Natal-RN (Brazil); they were assembled in two groups n=20, Gain group displaying loss of < 50% of their initial surplus of weight, and the Loss group displaying loss of >50%. The research protocol is made of a socio-demographic questionnaire and 3 psychometric instruments: Rorschach ? Comprehensive System; Millon Personality Inventory (MCMI-III); and the Binge Eating Scale (Escala de Compuls?o Alimentar Peri?dica (ECAP). Through Rorschach significant differences between these groups were verified according to the kind of personality (EB) - more EB Extratensivo in Gain group and Intratensivo in Loss group ? and the lack of control to express affect, increasing the answer for Color Pure at Group I. Concerning the people standardization, the sample as a whole tends to show psychic pain, denigrated selfperception, high levels of self-criticism, distorted perceptions, vulnerability to develop mood disorders and high scores regarding Suicide. MCMI-III results showed more clinic and personality disorders in Group I: Depressive Disorder and Schizotypal, Anxiety, Dysthymia, Major Depressive Disorder; Thought Disorder, Bipolar- Manic and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. In relation to ECAP, the results indicated significant differences, showing increased BE results in Gain group. There were found significant differences between BE severity and the presence of clinic and personality disorders. Concerning the post-surgery care, the observed differences are statistically significant regarding physical activities with median-increased differences in Loss group. There is a difference between the initial weight and the time post-surgery, indicating that the higher the initial weight and the time after the surgery the higher the re-gain of weight post-surgery. Finally, the results show that the participants with more than 3 years of surgery will have Clinic and Major Depressive Disorders; Somatoform Disorder; Dysthymia. These results confirm prior studies related to BE post-surgery and re-gain of weight as well as the proneness of clinic disorders in severe obesity people. That means the results reinforce that the surgery process is a facet of the severe obesity treatment. The post-surgery process needs to be the main focus of attention and have a long-term input to sustain the care of the surgery results and the quality of life of the patients.

The current conflicts occur because of the continuation of relationship patterns ; with feelings ; defenses and anxiety which happen repeatedly. This research intends to obtain measures of internal consistency ; converging validity and also the authenticity of the criteria of the Central Relationship Questionnaire CRQ ; a tool of self-report which evaluates the pattern of core conflictual relationship expressed in the relationship with a love partner ; by dimensions: wishes (W) (D) ; responses from other (RO) and responses of other (RE). The sample ; not random ; was composed by a case group (GC) ; of 32 women ; with ages between 19 and 56 (A=38.91; DP=10.25; Mo = 44) in a situation of marital violence; and a non case group (GNC) ; sample by convenience ; of 22 women ; with age between 18 and 37 (A = 32.26;DP=6.18 ; Mo=18) ; pregnant admitted to a maternity center to give birth and who did not suffer sexual violence and did not find themselves in a violent situation. In the GC ; 75% suffered physical violence ; 93.8% suffered psychological violence and 18.8% suffered sexual violence. As an external criteria measure of the CRQ ; the Scale of Symptoms Evaluation EAS-40 ; which measures four dimensions: psychoticism ; obsession-compulsion ; somatization and anxiety. Regarding the internal consistency of the CRQ ; the values of Cronbach alpha for GC varied between 0.59 and 0.83 and in the GNC ; between 0.76 and 0.81. For EAS- 40 in the GC they varied between 0.75 and 0.93 and in the GNC between 0.84 and 0.88. There was no substantial difference between the average scores of the CRQ between the groups; for the EAS-40 the discriminating validity of the tool with substantial differences between the groups regarding the gravity of the psychological symptoms was demonstrated. The substantial correlation between the ROs and the total score of the EAS-40 was found in the study of the converging validity ; and the dimensions: psychoticism and obsession-compulsion; between the REs and the obsessioncompulsion dimension. The results suggest that the Portuguese version of the Brazilian CRQ allows us to reliably evaluate the core pattern of conflict ; expressed in the relationship of women who are victims of violence and their love partners. The internal consistency of the tool is similar to its original version and allows us to properly discern women who are victims of violence from other ones who did not suffered violent events. Research with randomized samples must be carried out. / A Organiza??o Mundial de Sa?de descreve a viol?ncia contra a mulher ; perpetrada por parceiro ?ntimo ; como a forma mais freq?ente de viol?ncia.

Como medida de crit?rio externa do CRQ foi utilizada a Escala de Avalia??o de Sintomas EAS-40 que mede quatro dimens?es: psicoticismo ; obsessividade-compulsividade ; somatiza??o e ansiedade. Com rela??o ? consist?ncia interna do CRQ os valores de alpha de Cronbach para GC variaram entre 0 ;59 e 0 ;83 e no GNC ; entre 0 ;76 e 0 ;81. Para EAS-40 no GC variaram ente 0 ;75 e 0 ;93 e no GNC entre 0 ;84 e 0 ;88. N?o houve diferen?a significativa entre os escores m?dios do CRQ entre os grupos; para a EAS-40 demonstrou validade discriminante do instrumento com diferen?as significativas entre os grupos em rela??o ? severidade dos sintomas psicol?gicos. No estudo da validade convergente encontrou-se correla??o significativa entre as RO e o escore total da EAS-40 ; e as dimens?es: psicoticismo e obsessvidadecompulsividade; e entre as RE e a dimens?o obsessividade-compulsividade. Os resultados sugerem que a vers?o em portugu?s do Brasil do CRQ 6.0 permite avaliar de forma fidedigna o padr?o central de conflito ; expresso no relacionamento de mulheres v?timas de viol?ncia e seus parceiros amorosos. O instrumento det?m consist?ncia interna semelhante ? vers?o original do instrumento e permite discriminar de forma adequada mulheres v?timas de viol?ncia de outras n?o submetidas a epis?dios de viol?ncia. Pesquisas com amostras randomizadas devem ser realizadas.

In order to achieve this goal, four studies were conducted: (1) research and knowledge of methods and materials used in visually impaired children s education, in order that this information could contribute to the construction of the subtests; (2) subtests construction, based on current theories of intelligence and information obtained from Study 1; (3) pilot study aiming to assess the suitability of its subtests and items among 14 visually impaired children, aged 7 to 12 years old (M = 10.28 years, SD = 1.58), six females and eight males. Within those, ten classified with low vision, eight with congenital and two with acquired disease. Four children were classified with total blindness, two with acquired deficiency and two with congenital deficiency; (4) performance comparison between blind and sighted children (n=17, M=9.94 years, SD=1.43; all female) in relation to the difficulties encountered, number of hits and subtests runtime. The results showed, by testing mean difference, in general, fitness subtests of the target population, with little need for modification of items. It was found a better performance on children with vision capability in relation to children with visual impairments. In relation to type of blindness, children with congenital deficiency showed better results when compared to children with acquired disabilities. Regarding the degree of disability, children with low vision performed better than complete blind children. Although it was possible to note the influence of age and education level in verbal subtest and sex variable in memory subtest. We conclude that this study brought relevant data regarding the importance of a specific instrument for the assessment of intelligence on children with visual impairment. Studies with larger samples can enrich and contribute to the validity of the instrument built. / Diante da lacuna existente na avalia??o cognitiva de popula??es especiais, essa pesquisa teve como objetivo a constru??o de tr?s subtestes (verbal, mem?ria e l?gico-espacial) para avalia??o da intelig?ncia de crian?as deficientes visuais. Como forma de atingir tal objetivo, quatro estudos foram conduzidos: (1) investiga??o e conhecimento de metodologias e materiais utilizados na educa??o de crian?as com defici?ncia visual, com a finalidade de que tais informa??es pudessem contribuir para a constru??o dos subtestes; (2) constru??o dos subtestes, baseados nas teorias atuais de intelig?ncia e nas informa??es obtidas a partir do Estudo 1; (3) estudo piloto com o objetivo de erificar a adequa??o dos subtestes e de seus itens junto a 14 crian?as deficientes visuais, na faixa et?ria de 7 a 12 anos (M= 10,28 anos; DP=1,58), sendo seis do sexo feminino e oito do sexo masculino, sendo dessas, dez classificadas com baixa vis?o, oito com defici?ncia cong?nita e duas com doen?a adquirida, quatro crian?as classificadas com cegueira total, sendo duas com defici?ncia adquirida e duas com defici?ncia cong?nita; (4) compara??o do desempenho de crian?as deficientes visuais com crian?as videntes (n=17; M= 9,94 anos; DP=1,43; todas do sexo feminino) em rela??o ?s dificuldades encontradas, n?mero de acertos e tempo de execu??o dos subtestes. Os resultados apontaram, atrav?s de testes de diferen?a de m?dia, de um modo geral, adequa??o dos subtestes ? popula??o alvo, com pequenas necessidades de altera??o dos itens. Tamb?m encontrou-se melhor desempenho dos videntes em rela??o ?s crian?as com defici?ncia visual, bem como, em rela??o ao tipo de cegueira, crian?as com defici?ncia cong?nita apresentaram melhores resultados quando comparados com aquelas que apresentam defici?ncia adquirida. Em rela??o ao grau de defici?ncia, crian?as com baixa vis?o tiveram melhor desempenho que as crian?as com cegueira. Ainda foi poss?vel notar a influ?ncia das vari?veis idade e escolaridade no subteste Verbal e da vari?vel sexo no subteste de Mem?ria. Conclui-se que o presente estudo trouxe dados relevantes quanto ? import?ncia de um instrumento espec?fico de avalia??o da intelig?ncia para crian?as com defici?ncia visual e que, estudos com amostras maiores podem enriquecer e contribuir para a validade do instrumento constru?do.

The proposal consisted in identifying the penalty points recorded in national driving licenses (CNH) and identifying the corresponding tests and scores obtained, verifying if the average scores in the tests of drivers with and without an infraction record were significantly different and if there is any relation between the test scores and the frequency of the infractions. The results of the psychological instruments were collected in two moments the first being in the act of acquisition of the CNH and the second being during license renewal at the only certified clinic and at the DETRAN-RN. A population of 839 drivers of 14 municipalities were identified. 127 protocols of psychological tests were identified in the records of the DETRAN-RN (2002) and 76 at the clinic (2007), pointing out failures in the process of safekeeping of the psychological material, as well as in its retrieval from the record files. The sample was thus reduced to 68 drivers, all male, with age range between 18 and 41 years old, mean of 21,72 years old (DP = 5,24). 54 drivers were identified without a record of infraction, and 14 with a record. The latter committed 29 infractions. The penalty points recorded in their CNH ranged from 0 to 35 and the typical value of points (median) was zero. In the group with a record of infractions the number of points ranged between 3 and 35, mean of 10,79 (DP = 7,73). Differences were observed in the composition of the battery of tests in the two moments with the same subjects. The use of different tests to assess the same construct of the subject, first and second moment of assessment, did not allow for some analyzes with more efficient statistical proof. It was pointed out that five tests were not carried out and 118 were not corrected/analyzed. Significant differences between the groups were not identified with the psychological instruments used. In another attempt to establish differences between the means, the application of the independent t-Test evidenced a significant difference in the scores of the instruments of concentrated attention in 2002 (t = 2,21, gl = 25, p = 0.037) and of diffuse attention in 2002 (t = 2,37, gl = 24, p = 0.026). The results also did not evidence significant correlation between the scores of the tests and the penalty points of the infractions. Based on this study, it cannot be concluded with precision that the high or low scores are good criteria to determine that a driver will commit more or less traffic infractions, nor that the drivers with higher scores in the tests commit less infractions and vice-versa. Furthermore, the problems to find the instruments and the most basic data require a stronger monitoring on the part of the certified clinic and of the DETRAN-RN. / O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar a possibilidade de prever o envolvimento em infra??es de tr?nsito a partir dos resultados dos testes psicol?gicos aplicados por psic?logos peritos no processo de habilita??o de condutores no Rio Grande do Norte (RN). A proposta consistiu em identificar os pontos na carteira nacional de habilita??o (CNH) e identificar os testes e os escores obtidos, verificando se os escores m?dios dos testes dos motoristas com e sem registro de infra??o s?o significativamente distintos e se existem rela??es entre os escores dos testes e a freq??ncia de infra??es. Os resultados dos instrumentos psicol?gicos foram coletados em dois momentos - sendo o primeiro no ato da aquisi??o da CNH e o segundo na renova??o - na ?nica cl?nica credenciada e no DETRAN-RN. Identificou-se uma popula??o de 839 condutores de 14 munic?pios. Encontraram-se nos arquivos do DETRAN-RN 127 protocolos de testes psicol?gicos aplicados (2002) e 76 na cl?nica (2007), evidenciando falhas no processo de guarda do material psicol?gico, bem como de sua recupera??o nos arquivos. A amostra ficou reduzida a 68 motoristas, todos do sexo masculino, com idade de 18 a 41 anos, m?dia de 21,72 anos (DP = 5,24). Identificaram-se 54 motoristas sem registros de infra??o e 14 com registro. Estes ?ltimos cometeram 29 infra??es. A pontua??o na CNH variou de 0 a 35 e o valor t?pico de pontos (mediana) foi zero. No grupo com registro de infra??o a pontua??o variou de 3 a 35, m?dia de 10,79 (DP = 7,73). Observaram-se diferen?as na composi??o das baterias de testes nos dois momentos nos mesmos sujeitos. O uso de testes diferentes para avaliar um mesmo construto do sujeito, primeiro e segundo momento de avalia??o, impossibilitou algumas an?lises com provas estat?sticas mais eficientes. Evidenciou-se que cinco testes n?o foram aplicados e 118 n?o foram corrigidos/analisados. N?o foram identificadas diferen?as significativas entre os grupos nos instrumentos psicol?gicos aplicados. Em outra tentativa para estabelecer diferen?as entre as m?dias, a aplica??o do Teste t independente evidenciou uma diferen?a significativa nos escores nos instrumentos de aten??o concentrada em 2002 (t = 2,21, gl = 25, p = 0.037) e da aten??o difusa em 2002 (t = 2,37, gl = 24, p = 0.026). Os resultados tamb?m n?o evidenciaram correla??es significativas entre os escores dos testes e as pontua??es das infra??es. Com base neste estudo, n?o se pode concluir com precis?o que os altos ou baixos escores s?o bons crit?rios para definir que um motorista cometer? mais ou menos infra??o de tr?nsito, nem que os motoristas com maiores escores nos testes cometem menos infra??o e vice-versa. Al?m disso, os problemas para se encontrar os instrumentos e os dados mais b?sicos requer um acompanhamento mais aprofundado por parte da cl?nica credenciada e do DETRAN-RN.

The therapeutical adherence represents the agreement degree between the patient behavior and the health team lapsings. The CKF is the gradual and irreversible loss of the renal function, being the hemodialysis treatment an important alternative to assist or to substitute the kidneys. Method: The sample consisted in 80 chronic kidney patients in hemodialysis treatment in two located clinical centers in the region of the great Natal, RN. It was used as instruments (a) a protocol of clinical data collection, (b) the Millon Index of Personality Styles (MIPS) and (c) a script of halfstructuralized interview. Results: The results show a balance between the genders (51% of female and 48.8% of the male sex), average age and equal average time of dialysis respectively to the 43,4 years (?13,25 years) and 22,04 years (?4,24 years). The marital status of half of the sample is married, predominating basic education (43.6%) and a familiar income until a minimum wage (43.8%). It had been defined six physicianlaboratorial indicators to evaluate the therapeutical adherence, further the use of the evaluation of the health team and the patient themselves. Thus, there was an average adherence around 55.97% of the sample ?18.37%). However only between selfassessment of the patients about the adherence and the assessment made by blood pressure post-dialysis indicated a significant association (p=0,029, qui-square test). On the other hand, there was a significant association (p <0.05, chi-square test) among the criteria for treatment adherence and issues investigated in the interview - the perception on the quality of the health services provided to patients, the difficulties following the prescribed diet, the characterization of the days between dialysis sessions and the perception of patients about the dialysis sessions. It was also noted a significant association (p <0.05, Levene test) between adherence to therapy and scales that constitute the MIPS. The health team characterized the patients more adherent behavior as an attitude of acceptance of the treatment, looking actively for their implementation, for more information and knowledge, and establishing a positive communication with the team and with other patients. Similar results were confirmed by the MIPS evaluation. According to that assessment the more compliant patients adopt a more optimistic attitude, trying to act or adapt themselves to their environment, processing cognitively both concrete and objective information, such as more speculative and symbolic information. In addition they establish a gregarious, cooperative, submissive and flexibly pattern of interpersonal relationships to social demands. These characteristics managed to explain 55.7% of the adherence variation according the health team and 23.3% of the variation according the CaxP laboratory indicator. Conclusions: The MIPS shown to be able to identify the most and least adherent to therapy patients. The use of different adherence indicators is important for an evaluation covering the different facets of this process. The adhesion levels are observed within registered by the relevant literature. There is need for further studies with a larger sample to deepen the data findings in this work / Introdu??o: Este trabalho busca caracterizar indicadores comportamentais de ader?ncia ao tratamento hemodial?tico por meio do Invent?rio Millon de Estilos de Personalidade em uma amostra de pacientes portadores de insufici?ncia renal cr?nica (IRC) na grande Natal/RN. A ader?ncia terap?utica representa o grau de concord?ncia entre o comportamento do paciente e as prescri??es da equipe de sa?de. A IRC ? a perda progressiva e irrevers?vel da fun??o renal, sendo o tratamento hemodial?tico uma importante alternativa para auxiliar ou substituir os rins. M?todo: A amostra consistiu de 80 pacientes renais cr?nicos em tratamento hemodial?tico em dois centros cl?nicos localizados na regi?o da grande Natal, RN. Utilizaram-se como instrumentos (a) um protocolo de coleta de dados cl?nicos, (b) o invent?rio Millon de estilos de personalidade (MIPS) e (c) um roteiro de entrevista semi-estruturada. Resultados: Os resultados mostram que houve equil?brio entre os sexos (51% do sexo feminino e 48,8% do sexo masculino), idade m?dia e tempo m?dio de di?lise respectivamente iguais ? 43,4 anos (?13,25 anos) e 22,04 anos (?4,24 anos). O estado civil de metade da amostra ? casado, predominando o ensino fundamental (43,6%) e uma renda familiar at? um sal?rio m?nimo (43,8%). Definiram-se seis indicadores cl?nico-laboratoriais para avaliar a ader?ncia terap?utica, mais o uso da avalia??o da equipe de sa?de e do pr?prio paciente. Desse modo, observou-se uma ader?ncia m?dia em torno de 55,97% da amostra (?18,37%). Contudo apenas entre a auto-avalia??o do paciente acerca da ader?ncia e a avalia??o feita atrav?s da press?o arterial p?s-di?lise indicou-se uma associa??o significativa (p=0,029, teste qui-quadrado). Por outro lado, houve uma associa??o significativa (p<0,05, teste qui-quadrado) entre os crit?rios de ader?ncia ao tratamento e aspectos investigados na entrevista a percep??o da qualidade dos servi?os de sa?de prestados aos pacientes, as dificuldades no seguimento da dieta prescrita, a caracteriza??o dos dias entre as sess?es de di?lise e a percep??o dos pacientes acerca das sess?es de di?lise. Tamb?m se observou uma associa??o significativa (p<0,05, teste de Levene) entre a ader?ncia terap?utica e as escalas que constituem o MIPS. A equipe de sa?de caracterizou o comportamento do paciente mais aderente como uma postura de aceita??o do tratamento, buscando ativamente pela sua realiza??o, por informa??es e mais conhecimento, al?m de estabelecer uma comunica??o positiva com a equipe e com os demais pacientes. Resultados semelhantes foram confirmados pela avalia??o do MIPS. Segundo essa avalia??o os pacientes mais aderentes adotam uma atitude mais otimista, buscando agir ou adaptar-se ao seu meio, processando cognitivamente tanto informa??es concretas e objetivas, como informa??es mais especulativas e simb?licas. Al?m de estabelecer um padr?o de relacionamento interpessoal greg?rio, cooperativo, submisso e flex?vel ?s demandas sociais. Estas caracter?sticas conseguiram explicar 55,7% da varia??o da ader?ncia definida segundo a equipe de sa?de e 23,3% da varia??o da ader?ncia segundo o indicador laboratorial CaxP. Conclus?es: O MIPS demonstrou ser capaz de identificar os pacientes mais e menos aderentes. O uso de diferentes indicadores de ader?ncia ? importante para uma avalia??o que abarque as diferentes facetas desse processo. Os n?veis de ader?ncia observados est?o dentro do registrado pela literatura pertinente. H? a necessidade de outros estudos com uma amostra maior para aprofundar os dados achados nesse trabalho

As it has been one of the most used tools to assess bariatric surgery, the objective of this research is to verify the evidence validity of Millon Behavioral Medicine Diagnostic (MBMD) for psychological assessment of candidates for bariatric surgery. Method: males and females volunteers, aged 18 to 70, grouped in 150 patients admitted for surgical procedures or suffering from chronic diseases (control group) and 426 patients candidates for bariatric surgery, contacted in person or by the internet. For the study in the face group were also administered Millon Index of Personality Styles (MIPS), the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III) and the General Health Questionnaire of Goldberg, just in bariatric surgery patients. Results: there are indicators of semantic adaptation of the instrument, with 27 factors in five areas of the instrument, all with satisfactory levels of validity. The reliabitity indicators were satisfactory in 18 of the 32 scales that comprise the MBMD, while relations with the other three instruments showed significant variations compared to the original indicators. The MBMD was sensitive to differences between groups about gender, age, education, marital status, body mass index, comorbidities and chronic disease patients and with or without obesity. The use of this instrument in the assessment of candidates for bariatric surgery presents indicators of validity in view the limitations as to the realiability of certain scales / o Millon Behavioral Medicine Diagnostic ? um instrumento elaborado a partir do consenso entre profissionais de sa?de, visando identificar fatores psicol?gicos que venham a comprometer tratamentos m?dicos para que sejam conduzidos de modo a viabilizar uma melhor ades?o.

When starting any psychological intervention, it is necessary to carry an analysis of how individual operate in order to identify and define their demands to adequately meet them. It is important to study this practice because the choice of instruments, techniques and procedures to be employed influences the efficiency and effectiveness of the work and the image of the profession towards society in general, also impacting the scientific community. This study aimed to identify, in the subjects, the percentage of professionals in psychology who make use of the Psychological Assessment in the Northeastern region of Brazil; another objectives were to analyze the profile of these professionals in terms of gender, time after graduation, additional training in PA, the state of the country where he/she works; to check how psychologists do their planning when using PA as well as to identify which differences can be observed in terms of time from graduation and additional training in the process of planning the assessment different extents. The instrument used was an online questionnaire and the sample was by adhesion to the application. The attendance was of 159 professionals and most of them were females with a specialist degree. It was found that the majority of the professionals perform the planning of the PA, establishing a method and choosing the most appropriate strategies to be used. It was also verified that most of the subjects fulfill the steps of the whole process, and when planning the techniques of data collection, integrating database from different sources, reporting the results and returning the information, the professional demonstrates his/her goals to understand their demands and accomplish the decision making and/or proposed intervention for individuals assessed. It was found that the undergraduate degree may not have produced a more complete effect in the professional qualification and therefore, of the quality of the actions in PA, and that there is a need for training and continuing education / A avalia??o psicol?gica ? um procedimento que est? inserido em todas as ?reas de atua??o profissional do psic?logo. Ao se iniciar qualquer interven??o psicol?gica, faz-se uma an?lise do funcionamento do(s) indiv?duo(s) visando identificar e definir suas demandas para atender adequadamente. Importa estudar essa pr?tica, pois a decis?o de instrumentos, procedimentos e t?cnicas a empregar influencia a efici?ncia e efic?cia dos trabalhos bem como a imagem da profiss?o na sociedade em geral, repercutindo tamb?m na comunidade cient?fica. Objetivou-se identificar nos respondentes, o percentual de profissionais em Psicologia que fazem uso da Avalia??o Psicol?gica na Regi?o Nordeste do pa?s; analisar o perfil desses profissionais em termos de g?nero, quanto tempo tem de graduado, forma??o adicional em AP, estado onde atua; verificar como, os psic?logos realizam seu planejamento ao atuarem num processo de AP e identificar quais diferen?as podem ser verificadas em termos de tempo de atividade, forma??o complementar no planejamento do processo avaliativo em distintos ?mbitos. O instrumento utilizado foi um question?rio online e a amostra foi por ades?o a proposta. Participaram 159 profissionais sendo a maioria do sexo feminino, com t?tulo de especialista. Identificou-se que a maioria dos profissionais realiza o planejamento da AP, estabelecendo um m?todo e escolhendo as estrat?gias mais adequadas a serem utilizadas. Tamb?m identificou-se que, a maioria cumpre as etapas desse processo, e, ao planejar as t?cnicas de coleta de informa??es, integrar os dados provenientes de diferentes fontes, relatar resultados e executar a devolu??o de informa??es, o profissional demonstra seu objetivo em compreender sua demanda e realiza a tomada de decis?o e/ou proposta de interven??o em rela??o ?s pessoas avaliadas. Verificou-se que a gradua??o possa n?o ter um efeito mais pronunciado na qualifica??o profissional e consequentemente na qualidade das a??es na AP, mas, a necessidade de uma qualifica??o e forma??o continuada
