ABSTRACT

We examined the validity of the Brazilian Frequency of Suicidal Ideation Inventory (FSII-Br), an adaptation of the Frequency of Suicidal Ideation Inventory (FSII), in 946 Brazilian undergraduates. Confirmatory factor analysis of the FSII-Br demonstrated a one-factor model accounting for 62.39% of the variance in FSII-Br scores with a good FIT index. Correlation analyses demonstrated that the FSII-Br was positively correlated with both measures of suicide ideation and suicide risk (viz., depressive symptoms, anxious symptoms, and hopelessness), providing construct validity. Thus, the FSII-Br was found to be a promising tool in assessing suicide risk among Brazilian adults.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Loss aversion is defined as the individual perception of losses with a more significant impact than the gains of the same proportion, where people would be more sensitive to the possibility of losing objects or money than to the possibility of winning, even the same quantities. However, studies relating to loss aversion and psychological factors are still incipient. The aim of the present literature review was to identify and analyze the results of studies that investigated loss aversion regarding personality traits and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and suicidal tendencies. METHOD: A systematic review was done through PUBMED and Scopus databases. Descriptors were defined according to each database specificities. RESULTS: At first, 103 articles were encountered. After evaluation of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, there were a total of 14 remaining articles that were group together into six categories related to loss aversion, depression, anxiety, suicidal tendencies, and personality. CONCLUSIONS: The present study contributes to the literature mapping in the Behavioural Economics field. However, discrepancies were found among the studies, which made it difficult to acquire more conclusive findings.

ABSTRACT

A stressful or traumatic event may become a central reference point in the organization of long-term memory, influencing the meaning of other experiences. The Centrality of Event Scale (CES) is an instrument in which participants recall the most traumatic event of their life and endorse 20 items. The CES was translated, adapted and validated for the Brazilian context in a sample of 195 undergraduates (75.8% women). The version obtained good internal consistency and significant correlation with a screening measure of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms. New hypotheses on the cognitive processing of traumatic events are explored in the light of a factor analysis of the CES. Opportunities for CES use include monitoring cognitive patterns and therapeutic effectiveness in situations related to trauma.(AU)


Um evento estressor ou traumático pode tornar-se um ponto de referência central na organização da memória de longo prazo, influenciando a significação das demais experiências. A Escala de Centralidade de Evento (ECE) é um instrumento em que o sujeito recorda o evento mais traumático de sua vida e endossa 20 itens respectivos. A ECE foi traduzida, adaptada e validada mediante aplicação em 195 estudantes universitários (75,8% mulheres). Os resultados indicaram boa consistência interna e correlação significativa com rastreio de sintomas de estresse pós-traumático. Novas hipóteses explicativas do processamento cognitivo de eventos traumáticos são exploradas em resultados de uma análise fatorial exploratória. Oportunidades de aplicação da ECE incluem monitoramento de padrões cognitivos e efetividade terapêutica em situações relacionadas a trauma.(AU)

ABSTRACT

A amizade está entre os relacionamentos interpessoais mais importantes para o desenvolvimento humano. No entanto, estudos que abordem a percepção de brasileiros em relação à amizade e realizem comparações com participantes de outras culturas ainda são escassos. Nesse sentido, este trabalho tem dois objetivos: 1) apresentar um panorama de estudos empíricos sobre a percepção das amizades em diferentes países, e 2) apresentar um estudo descritivo sobre a percepção da amizade em adultos de nacionalidade estrangeira residentes no Brasil e compará-las com brasileiros. Participaram da coleta de dados 14 estudantes brasileiros e 14 estudantes de diferentes nacionalidades, todos regularmente matriculados na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. As variáveis analisadas foram presença, sexo, origem, duração, reciprocidade e proximidade geográfica da melhor amizade. Os principais resultados indicam a prevalência de amizades do mesmo sexo em todos os participantes. Também observou-se uma média maior de amizades residentes na mesma cidade para os participantes brasileiros. Discute-se a presença de laços fortes por parte dos participantes estrangeiros com suas amizades no país de origem.(AU)


Friendship is one of the most important interpersonal relationships to human development. However studies that analyze Brazilian´s perceptions of friendship in comparison to participants from other cultures are scarce. This study is twofold: 1) present an overview of empirical studies about the friendship perceptions in different countries, and 2) present a descriptive study about the perception of friendship in adults with foreign nationality that live in Brazil and compare it to Brazilian´s. Data collection resulted in 14 Brazilian students and 14 students from different nationalities, all regular students from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. The variables about best friendships analyzed were frequency, gender, origin, duration, reciprocity, and geographical proximity. Main results indicated a prevalence of same-sex friendships in all participants. Results also showed that the Brazilian sample presented a higher mean of friendships living in the same city as they were at the time of the data collection. Strong bonding between foreign students and their best friendships from home countries are discussed.(AU)
