- Programa de Promoção do Desenvolvimento Sócio-cognitivo da Criança Parte 1: Intervenção com CriançasPublication . Lucas, Carla Vale; Soares, LuísaさDe ケue foヴﾏa se pode ﾏaxiﾏizaヴ o poteﾐIial da Iヴiaﾐça eﾏ teヴﾏos do seu deseﾐ┗ol┗iﾏeﾐto sóIio-Iogﾐiti┗o?ざ Partiu-se da pertinência desta questão e da consideração de que as relações entre as habilidades sócio-cognitivas e comportamentos pró-sociais podem ser mediadas por variáveis situacionais, para alicerçar a construção de um programa de promoção do desenvolvimento sócio-cognitivo nas crianças, dirigido a dois grupos-alvo: pais com filhos até os 12 anos e crianças dos 6-12 anos, em programas de intervenção paralelos, visando maximizar o potencial da criança em termos do desenvolvimento de respostas empáticas e interacções pro-sociais. O presente artigo pretende, assim, apresentar o referido programa, dando especial ênfase aos módulos de intervenção destinados às crianças.
- Psychological Symptomatology and Loneliness in a College Students Sample: What New Trends can be Developed to Better Help These Students?Publication . Soares, Maria Luísa P.; Lucas, Carla Vale; Oliveira, Filipa Isabel; Roque, Fátima Liliana; Cadima, JoanaWe explore psychological symptomatology of college students in Madeira University, Portugal and examine socio-demographic variables associated with psychological health. We intend to answer the questions: Does gender differ in terms of symptomatology? Which psychological symptomatology is more common? Is there a relation between severity of symptomatology and loneliness? We administered the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised and UCLA Loneliness Scale to 300 students, aged 18 to 52. Women reported higher levels of symptomatology. We also noted a positive correlation between symptomatology and loneliness, which could mean that the more severe are the psychological symptoms, lonelier student’s feel. We aim to suggest interventions that best suit higher education purpose and students, promote their adjustment and well-being.
- Pilot project for peer tutoring: a case study in a Portuguese universityPublication . Coelho, Cristina Sofia; Faria, Catarina Pereira; Oliveira, Filipa; Lucas, Carla Vale; Vasconcelos, Sónia; Soares, LuísaPurpose – Tutoring or mentoring is a form of mutual and informal learning which has distant origins. This is a way of sharing knowledge and experience which has been proved to be extremely useful in educational settings, particularly where there is a peer that plays the role of tutor. Despite its informal characteristic, tutoring should be a structured process, with defined goals and clear roles for both: tutors and tutees, those who benefit from tutoring. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – As this paper aims to explore a pilot project, it was used as a reflexive and practical methodology, in a case study, analyzing the number of participants attending the project as well as the contents of the training course. Findings – In this first project in a Portuguese university, 35 students attended as candidates to tutor, participating in the training course, showing interest in helping their colleagues. Originality/value – This proposal for a tutoring program in a public higher institution aims to train college students to help other colleagues, giving academic support, helping in the adaptation to academic context, promoting autonomy in learning, sharing effective strategies and helping in maintenance of positive interpersonal relationships. These aspects are very important to promote academic success in higher education.
- Motivation for therapy: an important ingredient to change?Publication . Soares, Luísa; Oliveira, Filipa; Lemos, Marina S.; Lucas, Carla V.; Botella, Luís; Corbella, SergiWe analyse the levels of motivation for therapy, as well as explore if there are significant differences between the group of clients who drop-out from therapy and those who continue. Is there a relation between the different dimensions of motivation and the way the client perceive the therapeutic environment? 39 dyads of therapist and clients from Portugal participated. The Client motivation for therapy scale, adapted from Pelletier, Tucson and Haddad (1997) and the modified HCCQ from Williams, McGregor, King, Nelson and Glasgow (2005) were administered to the clients in 1st, 3rd , 5 th and 8th session. Significant differences in the intrinsic motivation and amotivation dimension and no significant differences were found, between those who give up/continue psychotherapy (p>.05). Nevertheless it was found a positive significant correlation (rs=.467) between the level of perception of the therapeutic environment and integrated motivation, as well as a negative correlation with amotivation (rs=.521), that is to say, the better the perception of the therapeutic environment, more motivated they are for therapy.
- Programa de Promoção do Desenvolvimento Sócio-Cognitivo da Criança Parte 2: Intervenção com os PaisPublication . Lucas, Carla Vale; Soares, LuísaA cognição social é deveras importante para uma interacção social bem-sucedida, e consequentemente, para o equilíbrio psicossocial dos indivíduos. Considerando a importância de tal, foi construído um programa de promoção do desenvolvimento sócio-cognitivo das crianças, que aposta na resiliência moral e na competência social. Destina-se a dois grupos-alvo, com intervenções paralelas: pais de crianças até aos 12 anos e crianças dos 7 aos 12 anos. Abordam-se com maior ênfase os módulos de intervenção dirigidos aos pais, respondendo a ケuestõesà Ioﾏoà さQueà iﾏpaItoà tZﾏà as interacções e as experiências proporcionadas pelas pessoas mais próximas da criança no seu desenvolvimento sócio-cognitivo e de que modo é possível maximizar o seu poteﾐIial?ざà Oà oHjeIti┗oà fiﾐalà Yà eﾐfatizaヴà aà iﾏpoヴt>ﾐIiaà doà autoconhecimento dos pais e a urgência da estimulação das competências das crianças.
