This cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the association of religiosity with behaviors and perceptions in the context of social distancing measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as mental health outcomes, in a university community in Central-West Brazil. A sample of 1,796 subjects responded to an online form with socio-demographic questions and the DASS-21 and PWBS scales. Religion was associated with the frequency of interactions, perceptions of the duration of the social distancing measures, changes in emotional state and history of psychological illness. The prevalence of symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress was lower among people with religion and their scores in psychological well-being were higher. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research aimed to understand the predictive role of human values, procrastination and general health in relation to smartphone dependence. Participated 390 people from the general, with ages ranging from 18 to 69 years old (M = 27, SD = 8.91), mostly female (71%). They answered the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS, reduced version), Tuckman's Procrastination Scale, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), Basic Values Survey (BVS) and demographic questions. The results indicating that smartphone dependence is positively related to procrastination, resulting in damage to general health, such as higher levels of anxiety and depression. It was concluded that values, procrastination and anxiety levels were shown to be important predictors for smartphone-dependent behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite the growing engagement in electronic games globally and the need to measure behavior in this context, there are few instruments for this purpose. The present study aimed to develop and validate the Game Behavior Scale-Electronic (GBS-E) in Brazil. In Study 1 (N=409), exploratory factor analysis supported the adequacy of a two-factor solution (individual and collective behavior). In Study 2 (N=373), we used confirmatory factor analysis, item response theory (to evaluate the discrimination and difficulty levels), and graphical factor analysis to test the above version of the scale and propose a short form of the GBS-E. The results suggest that both forms (full form, 31 items and short form, 10 items) of the GBS-E demonstrate psychometric evidence (factorial validity and internal consistency) for the adequacy of the measure to evaluate individual and collective behavior in electronic games.

In the literature, perfectionism has been related to the impostor phenomenon However, there is scant research that analyze jointly this relationship. This study aimed to examine the potential mediating role of self-esteem in the relationship between dimensions of perfectionism (adaptive and maladaptive) and the impostor phenomenon. Participants were 380 undergraduate students, with a mean age of 24 years (SD = 5.69, 18-55 years), mostly females (63%). They answered the Almost Perfect Scale-Revised, Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale, the Self-Esteem Scale, and demographic questions. Correlation and regression analysis were performed, with the results indicated that people with higher levels of impostorism had less self-esteem and more maladaptive perfectionism. On the other side, self-esteem correlated positively with adaptive perfectionism and negatively with the maladaptive one. Through two-path analysis, it was identified that self-esteem partially mediated the relationship between perfectionism (maladaptive and adaptive) and impostor feelings, being greater the effect in the case of maladaptive perfectionism. We concluded that self-esteem is an important variable for understanding the relationship between impostorism and perfectionism, reinforcing that people with more self-esteem and less maladaptive perfectionists usually experience less the impostor phenomenon.

The objective of the study is to identify to what extent the values of fathers/mothers and children are correlated, taking into account the type of transmission (direct or indirect) and its predictive potential. Participants were 204 pairs of parents and children. Most of the children were female (54.7%), and their average age was 11 (de=1.01). In the case of the parents, the majority were mothers (69.6%), and their average age was 38 (de =7.82). The fathers/mothers answered the Basic Values Survey corresponding to their age group and socio-demographic aspects. Results show that children's values are more heavily influenced by the values they perceive in their fathers/mothers, than by the values the fathers/mothers give priority to and wish to convey to their children, according to significant indicators in the six valuation sub-functions. The study concludes that, through the socialization process, children apprehend the values transmitted by their fathers/mothers by observing their conduct. Therefore, we emphasize that parents' behavior is the best way to educate children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the past few years, the relationship between environmental issues and vulnerabilityhas enjoyed much attention from scientific studies. However, the comprehension of this relation isn't a unanimous one. The aim of this research is to identify the differentconceptions about the vulnerability-environment interrelationships and to analyze itsconverging theoretical categories in Brazilian scientific works. For these goals, a systematic review of scientific papers indexed on Capes' "Portaldos Periódicos" was conducted, with no database restrictions. The text data wasanalyzed with the help of software Iramuteq. The conceptions and categoriesconverge into one interrelation of three semantic unities: environment, social and risk, considered under the interactionist and organicist approaches. It has been suggestedthat the multidisciplinary dialog about the subject should be expanded, also that thereis a need for the use of terminologies that can be employed in different fields of knowledge. It is worthwhile to overcome the interactionist and organicist approachesin order to understand the vulnerability of the interrelationshipsbetween people and environment under the transactional perspective.
