- Adverse childhood experiences : relationship with empathy and alexithymiaPublication . Cerqueira, Andreia; Almeida, Telma CatarinaSeveral studies showed that adults who have experienced childhood adversity are more likely to develop alexithymia and low empathy. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the relationship between childhood adversity and alexithymia and empathy in adulthood and verify a predictive explanatory model of alexithymia. The sample comprised 92 adults who responded to the sociodemographic questionnaire, the Childhood History Questionnaire, the Interpersonal Reactivity Index, and the Alexithymia Scale of Toronto. Childhood adversity showed a positive relationship with alexithymia and a negative relationship with empathy. Predictive validity showed that marital status, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and empathic concern predicted higher alexithymia scores. These results show the impact of these childhood experiences on adult life, underlining the importance of developing intervention programs in this field.

- Children exposed to interparental violence : a study of Portuguese children from 7-9 years of agePublication . Almeida, Telma Catarina; Gonçalves, Rui Abrunhosa; Sani, Ana IsabelIntroduction: Exposure to interparental violence is a type of child maltreatment linked to a higher risk of physical and mental health problems. This research considers the experiences of young Portuguese children exposed to interparental violence. The goal is to explore the associations between interparental conflict in children, their perceptions of conflict properties, threat, self-blame, and the relationship with their parents. Method: The research protocol was applied to 888 Portuguese children between 7 and 9 years of age, of whom 123 are victims of interparental violence. Results: The results showed that witnessing interparental conflict is positively correlated with children’s self-blame and insight into conflict properties and negatively correlated with children’s insight into the parent-child relationship. Conclusion: These results provide strong support for the hypothesis that witnessing interparental conflict is associated with adverse outcomes in young children. Findings highlight the importance of identifying children exposed o interparental conflict in order to develop appropriate intervention programmes.
- The infidelity scale : psychometric properties and gender invariance among Portuguese adultsPublication . Almeida, Telma Catarina; Fernandes, FilipaIntroduction: Infidelity is a breach of trust or a crossing of the boundaries of the primary relationship and it influences intimate relationships. It can be categorised as either sexual or emotional infidelity. In Portugal, there have been few studies on this subject using suitable instruments. Objective: This study aimed to analyse the factor structure, psychometric properties, and gender invariance of the Infidelity Scale (IS) in Portuguese adults. Method: The sample comprised 660 Portuguese adults (455 women and 205 men) between 18 and 79 years of age who had been unfaithful in their relationships. Results: The confirmatory analysis showed a structure with two factors (sexual and emotional infidelity), and good values for convergent and discriminant validity were found. The results displayed a satisfactory model fit and the non-invariance of the factor structure between women and men. Conclusion: This is the first Portuguese version of the IS, an instrument for the study of intimate relationships which contributes to the development of multicultural research.
- Instrumentos de avaliação psicológica do sono com estudos na população portuguesaPublication . Marques, Daniel Ruivo; Salvado, Ana Catarina; Amado, Catarina; Marrinhas, Daniel; Silva, Daniela; Araújo, Eliezer; Gonçalves, Filomena Marisa; Canário, Jéssica; Teves, Raúl; Machado, Roberto; Raposo, Rosa; Rofino, Rui; Cardoso, Jorge; Almeida, Telma Catarina; Gomes, Ana AllenA avaliação psicológica é uma área fundamental que norteia todos os campos de intervenção e investigação em Psicologia. Ao longo das últimas décadas tem-se assistido a um crescente envolvimento dos psicólogos no âmbito do sono e das suas perturbações, sendo a Psicologia do Sono uma especialidade reconhecida pela American Psychological Association (APA) desde 2013. Paralelamente, constata-se o desenvolvimento de múltiplos instrumentos de avaliação psicológica relacionados com o sono, seguidos das respetivas adaptações e validações transculturais. Neste artigo pretende-se elencar e descrever sucintamente os instrumentos de avaliação do comportamento de sono, considerando os estudos publicados que tenham recorrido a instrumentos validados, ainda que, por vezes, o processo de validação apresente apenas um carácter preliminar. Assim, constituiu o nosso objetivo apresentar uma listagem e súmula descritiva dos instrumentos de avaliação de sono disponíveis em Portugal, passíveis de serem utilizados na prática clínica e a nível da investigação.

- Versão Portuguesa da Escala de Perceção da Criança sobre os Conflitos Interparentais – Versão para crianças dos 7 aos 9 anos (EPCCI-C)Publication . Sani, Ana Isabel; Almeida, Telma CatarinaAs perceções da criança acerca dos conflitos interparentais constituem um importante fator mediador do impacto que estes têm no seu desenvolvimento, pelo que se torna crucial uma adequada avaliação. Neste artigo apresentamos a versão portuguesa da Escala de Perceção da Criança dos Conflitos Interparentais (EPCCI-C), cujo original designado por Children’s Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale for Young Children (CPIC-Y) foi desenvolvido por Grych em 2000. Esta escala de autorrelato tem como objetivo avaliar as perceções produzidas pelas crianças entre os sete e os nove anos de idade acerca dos conflitos entre os pais, tais como as características dos incidentes, a perceção de ameaça, de culpa e a representação sobre a relação pais-criança. Esta versão foi testada em contexto escolar com uma amostra de crianças do 1º ciclo de ensino básico e revelou boas qualidades psicométricas. Estas propriedades e outros elementos caracterizadores do instrumento são discutidos neste artigo.
