A shift towards reduced meat consumption and a more plant-based diet is endorsed to promote sustainability, improve public health, and minimize animal suffering. However, large segments of consumers do not seem willing to make such transition. While it may take a profound societal change to achieve significant progresses on this regard, there have been limited attempts to understand the psychosocial processes that may hinder or facilitate this shift. This study provides an in-depth exploration of how consumer representations of meat, the impact of meat, and rationales for changing or not habits relate with willingness to adopt a more plant-based diet. Multiple Correspondence Analysis was employed to examine participant responses (N = 410) to a set of open-ended questions, free word association tasks and closed questions. Three clusters...
In the last years, researchers have been emphasizing the importance of promoting needs-led, context-specific, user-centered services in the context of child protection. However, policy-makers and service planners around the world largely depend on US-based research evidence of what is effective in the domain of family support. This work presents, in two studies, the process of design and evaluation of a targeted family support intervention that was developed and implemented in Portugal. Following the Common Language Approach to needs assessment (Dartington Social Research Unit, 2001), in study 1 we screened 100 children and their families attending a generalist child care service for risk and protective factors. Four different clusters of needs were identified. One cluster was selected as target-group for the design of a service to mat...
In response to calls to expand knowledge on consumer willingness to reduce meat consumption and to adopt a more plant-based diet, this work advances the construct of meat attachment and the Meat Attachment Questionnaire (MAQ). The MAQ is a new measure referring to a positive bond towards meat consumption. It was developed and validated through three sequential studies following from an in-depth approach to consumer representations of meat. The construct and initial pool of items were firstly developed drawing on qualitative data from 410 participants in a previous work on consumers’ valuation of meat. Afterwards, 1023 participants completed these items and other measures, providing data to assess item selection, factor structure, reliability, convergent and concurrent validity, and predictive ability. Finally, a sample of 318 participa...

O presente estudo tem como objectivo principal apresentar a versão portuguesa do Questionário de Autonomia nos Adolescentes, traduzido e adaptado a partir do Adolescent Autonomy Questionnaire (Noom, 1999). De forma a observar as qualidades psicométricas da versão portuguesa procedeu-se à análise da estrutura factorial, análise da fidelidade, análise da sensibilidade e correlações inter-factores. Os resultados obtidos com uma amostra de 171 adolescentes indicaram, através de análise factorial confirmatória, que o modelo original constituído por três dimensões não se revelou adequado à estrutura correlacional observada. Neste sentido, recorreu-se a uma análise exploratória que reproduziu uma estrutura composta por quatro factores – Auto-determinação; Independência; Autonomia cognitiva e Autonomia emocional. Em termos gerais, observaram-s...

As alucinações musicais são um tipo de alucinações auditivas complexas. Trata-se de um fenómeno relativamente raro e etiologicamente heterogéneo. Como principais etiologias, têm sido apontadas a hipoacúsia, a patologia cerebral orgânica, a epilepsia, e as doenças psiquiátricas, incluindo a esquizofrenia.
A propósito de um caso clínico, os autores revêem e discutem a etiologia e a psicopatologia das alucinações musicais. Parece tratar-se de um fenómeno sub-diagnosticado, cuja pesquisa
activa poderá permitir uma compreensão
mais completa do quadro clínico apresentado
pelo doente.
Psychoeducation is currently considered to be a fundamental intervention in the management of
bipolar disorders. A psychoeducation group programme for patients with bipolar disorders, aimed
at euthymic patients just prior to their discharge from the acute psychiatric inpatient unit, named
“Porta Aberta” (Open Door), has been implemented since 2007 at the day-hospital of our psychiatric
department (Amadora, Portugal). In this article, the authors provide a brief review of the relevant
literature on this subject and also assess the effectiveness of the “Porta Aberta” programme in reducing
the average number and duration of readmissions; they determine whether individual characteristics
(gender, marital status and disorder subtype) may influence outcome.
