- Between kisses and bytes: cyber dating abuse and internet use in emerging adulthoodPublication . Saial, Ana Cristina; Portugal, Alda; Gouveia, Élvio Rúbio; Nascimento, Paulo; Satar, Muhammad; Relvas, Ana Paula; Portugal, Alda; Gouveia, Élvio RúbioAbstract Emerging adults use the internet to connect with intimate partners, which can promote closeness but also increase vulnerability to abusive behavior, such as cyber dating abuse (CDA). In this study, we explored the use of the internet and information and communication technologies (ICT) and determined the prevalence of CDA among 105 emerging adults, with an average age of 23.2 years (SD = 3.65). Through an online cross-sectional study, our results indicate that emerging adults spend an average of 6.67 h a day online (SD = 3.34), with 37.6% communicating with their partner for more than 5 h daily via ICT. A high prevalence of CDA was observed: 62.9% victimization and 74.3% perpetration, with an emphasis on controlling behaviors. This study explores the relationship between problematic internet use (PIU) and CDA and highlights the normalization of CDA behaviours.
- Cross-sectional study of emotion understanding in portuguese childrenPublication . Franco, Glória; Franco, Maria da Glória; Beja, Maria João; Santos, N.; Roazzi, Antonio; Candeias, Adelinda; Portugal, AldaEmotion understanding in children is a complex process involving the conjuga tion of different other processes of emotional information. It has been consi dered a key component of emotional skills in young children and an important predictor social skills development. This study aims to describe the emergence of emotion understanding different components according to age and degree of complexity. The sample comprises 401 portuguese children, ages 43 to 77 months (M=64.17, DP=7.05), attending preschool, and the instruments used were the Test of Emo tion Comprehension (TEC) and Raven’s Colored Progressive Matrices (CPM). Results have shown that different components of emotion understanding do not appear all at the same time, but evolve over the years along with cognitive development. Children at earlier ages are more able to recognize the expres sion of basic emotions, but the ability to reflect upon emotions consolidates later. Results haven’t shown significant differences considering gender and socioeconomic status.
- Epistemological development in higher education: a study at University of MadeiraPublication . Beja, Maria João; Beja, Maria João; Franco, Glória; Sousa, Fábia; Portugal, Alda; Portugal, Alda; Maria JoãoThe present study fits into the emerging adult cognitive development domain, more precisely in the analysis of higher education student’s epistemological beliefs development. The scientific literature of the area considers that student’s epistemological beliefs evolve, throughout the academic formation, of more sim plistic/absolutist forms to more complex/relativistic forms (Baxter-Magolda, 2004; Perry, 1999). However, most of the students do not reveal higher levels of epistemological complexity (Figueiredo, Pinheiro, & Huet, 2015). In this paper we present and compare the results of two studies carried out at the University of Madeira, in 2010 and 2016, respectively, which main goal was to ana lyse the epistemological development of students of higher education and the influence of social and academic variables in the epistemological development. The research adopted a quantitative methodology and the sample was composed of students from the University of Madeira (295 in study 1 and 232 in study 2), of the 1st and 2nd cycle, distributed by different academic areas. The data were evaluated through the portuguese version of the Parker Cognitive Development Inventory (Ferreira, & Bastos, 1995). The analysis of the results revealed, in both studies, a predominance of absolut ist thinking in the students of the University of Madeira, Contrary to the litera ture and the studies carried out in this field, there has not been a developmental progression in terms of an absolutist for a more relativistic thought, but rather an increase of absolutism as one advances in the academic formation, being that the students of the 2nd cycle have proved to be more absolutist than students in the 1st cycle. Concomitantly, in both studies, the epistemological development of students varies according to social and academic variables.
- Physical activity levels in adults with intellectual disabilities: the importance of physical educationPublication . Rodrigues, Ana José Aguiar; Rodrigues, Ana; Sousa, Duarte; Lopes, Helder; Lopes, Helder; Prudente, João; Prudente, João FilipeThe relationship between physical activity levels and health indicators is widely reported in the literature. However, the number of studies that characterize the physical activity profile in intellectually disabled adults is still small. The aims of this study are: (i) to determine the levels of physical activity in adults with intellectual disability, (ii) to study differences in physical activity levels between gender and between days with or without physical education. A total of 78 subjects (41 males and 37 females) with intellectual disability (mild and moderate), with a mean age of 30.18 ± 8.55 years, participated in the study. The physical activity levels were evaluated by pedometer (Yamax Digiwalkers SW-700), placed in two working days (one with Physical Education and another without Physical Education classes). There were reduced levels of physical activity in days with Physical Education (4865.21 ± 1611.04) and without (3739.22 ± 1243.34), clearly below the recommended values. Men were more active compared to women, but only on days with Physical Education (p <.05). In the days with Physical Education classes, there is a 24% increase in physical activity levels (27% in men and 20% in women). The performance of physical education classes seems to have benefic effects on physical activity levels, however, it is necessary to develop a study that helps to understand more deeply the factors that influence the levels of physical activity in this population.

- When play gets serious: can a game-based mobile application serve as an intervention for preventing intimate partner violence among emerging adults?Publication . Saial, Ana Cristina; Rúbio, Élvio Gouveia; Portugal, Alda; Peres, Beatriz Jardim; Satar, Muhammad; Relvas, Ana Paula; Gouveia, Élvio Rúbio; Portugal, AldaGames have been an approach used to facilitate increased knowl edge and changes in attitudes and behaviors related to well-being and mental health. However, the design and application of games to sensitive topics such as intimate partner violence (IPV) needs more exploration. Therefore, this 120-minute game-based work shop aims to analyze the perceptions collected from stakeholders (emerging adults aged 18-24; N=19) regarding the acceptability of using games and mobile applications to raise awareness of IPV, through a qualitative cross-sectional study. This research presents a preliminary study to inform the development of a game-based mobile intervention designed to increase knowledge and prevent IPV among emerging adults. This study contributes to a better un derstanding of the application of games to IPV among emerging adults, also highlighting the value of digital tools, such as mobile applications. More studies are needed on the design of games and digital tools that respond to the IPV problem. However, this work is still preliminary, and the insights gained from it will help to improve future work.
