ABSTRACT
O objetivo deste estudo é formular uma tipologia de modos de vida na aposentadoria, atendendo ao conjunto de recursos acumulados ao longo da trajetória de vida, sob a forma de bens (saúde, ambiente social, rendimento) e potencialidades (situação no trabalho, atividades fora do trabalho no passado, escolaridade, formação profissional). Foi usada a regressão logística para uma amostra de aposentados portugueses de ambos os sexos (N=499), com vista a clarificar o peso dessas variáveis em cada prática de aposentadoria. O resultado do modelo apresenta explicações plausíveis para quatro principais práticas de aposentadoria: retraimento, terceira idade, família, lazer, evidenciando os fatores que melhor explicam cada uma delas.
The aim of this study is to formulate a typology of retirement lifestyles considering a set of accumulated resources along the life course, in the form of goods (health, social environment, income) and potential (employment status, outside work activities in the past, education, vocational training). Logistic regression was used to a sample of Portuguese retirees of both sexes (N=499) in order to clarify the impact of these variables on each retirement practice. The result of the model presents plausible explanations for four main retirement practices: withdrawal, third age, family, leisure, highlighting the factors that best explain each one of them.

The aim of the present study was to assess the psychometric properties of a version in Portuguese of the Reminiscence Functions Scale. Total sample was composed of 628 participants aged between 18 and 92 years, divided into three groups according to their age (18-24 years, n = 249; 26-54 years, n = 174; 55 and older, n = 205). Results indicated a five-factor solution for the Portuguese version of the Reminiscence Functions Scale, which accounted for 54% of the variance with good internal consistency (mean alpha = 0.86). Age and gender differences emerged regarding reminiscence functions. These results demonstrate that, while significant cultural differences exist, the psychometric properties of the Reminiscence Functions Scale are adequate for the Portuguese population.
