- Decent work and burnout: the moderating role of career callingPublication . Faria, Liliana; Porto, SofiaBurnout is a critical issue in occupational mental health, and decent workis recognised as a key factor in promoting employee well-being. Drawingon the Psychology of Working Theory and Conservation of ResourcesTheory, this study examined whether Career Calling, as a personalresource, moderates the relationship between Decent Work andBurnout among Portuguese workers. A cross-sectional online surveywas conducted with 173 participants, and data were analyzed using thePROCESS macro. Results indicated a significant negative relationshipbetween Decent Work and Burnout, with Career Calling moderating thisassociation: its protective effect was stronger when decent workconditions were adequate. These findings highlight the importance ofprioritising decent work as the primary strategy to prevent burnout, whilesupporting the development of Career Calling as a complementaryresource to enhance resilience, engagement, and meaning in work.
- The interplay of personality traits and early life experiences in predicting delinquent behaviorsPublication . Bonfá-Araujo, Bruno; Baptista, Makilim Nunes; Pechorro, Pedro; Maroco, João; Franco, Víthor Rosa; Nunes, Cristina; Jonason, Peter K.This study explores the interplay between family bonds, attachment styles, emotional regulation, dark personality traits, and delinquent behaviors. We assessed 336 Brazilians (M = 24.61, SD = 8.30), using network analysis. Participants were assessed using the Proposed Specifiers for Conduct Disorder, Parental Bonding Instrument, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, The Brazilian Adult Attachment Scale, The Short Dark Tetrad, and the Self-Report Delinquency Scale. Our findings suggest that attachment and family bonds influence emotional regulation, affecting delinquent behaviors. Dark personality traits are strong predictors of delinquent behaviors. We highlight the importance of early life experiences and personality in understanding delinquent and antisocial behaviors.
- Brand hate semiotics: hate as a story theory. Netnographic approach during the war on GazaPublication . Assoud, Mohamed; Berbou, Lahoucine; Vieira, Luís SérgioPurpose – This study aims to investigate brand hate semiotics among Muslim and Arabic-speaking consumers during the 2023 war on Gaza, exploring traits associated with hated and boycotted brands within a sociopolitical context. Design/methodology/approach – The research uses semiotic analysis and a netnographic approach to examine 3,000 public consumer-generated content linked to the hashtag # عطاق) boycott in Arabic) from Instagram and Facebook. Findings – Brands such as McDonald’s, KFC, Coca-Cola and Starbucks, which were subjected to hate and boycotts, are linked to negative associations and narratives, including The Stranger, The Faceless Foe, The Enemy of God and The Criminal. User-generated content significantly influences brand boycotts among Muslim and Arabic-speaking consumers. Research limitations/implications – Future research should explore additional sociopolitical contexts and demographics to generalize the findings further. Practical implications – Understanding the semiotic drivers of brand hate can help marketers develop effective crisis management and brand recovery strategies tailored to specific cultural contexts. Social implications – The findings highlight the impact of sociopolitical events on consumer behavior, emphasizing the need for brands to be aware of their cultural and ethical stances in global markets. Originality/value – This research contributes to brand hate theory by using the “hate as a story” lens, offering a unique theoretical perspective. It systematically explores the semiotic aspects of brand hate and pioneers’ semiotic analysis and netnography in this field. The study also addresses the underrepresentation of Muslim and Arabic-speaking consumers in brand hate literature.
- Positive residential care integration scale: Portuguese adaptation and validationPublication . Simão, Ana; Martins, Cátia; Ratinho, Elias; Kothari, Brianne H.; Nunes, CristinaYoung people in residential care settings hold distinct preferences regarding their relationships with key adults, including caseworkers and caregivers. However, their perspectives are not consistently assessed or effectively integrated into case planning. Evaluating this integration is essential for fostering positive adjustment and placement stability. Given that residential care represents the predominant child welfare intervention in Portugal, this study adapts and validates an existing instrument for use with youth in residential care institutions, providing evidence of its validity and reliability. Self-report questionnaires-the Positive Residential Care Integration (PRCI) scale (an adapted Positive Home Integration scale) and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire-were administered to 511 youth (279 girls and 232 boys), aged 12 to 24 years, across 46 Portuguese residential care institutions. The study examined the face validity, discriminant validity, and reliability of the PRCI scale. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated good model fit, supporting a unidimensional six-item structure. Correlation analyses demonstrated associations with psychological adjustment and sociodemographic variables. The PRCI scale showed satisfactory psychometric properties, confirming its reliability for assessing youth integration in residential care. Cross-gender measurement invariance was also confirmed. These findings underscore the instrument's relevance and validity for evaluating integration within residential settings and provide valuable guidance for caregivers, professionals, and caseworkers in child welfare services.
- Resisting or complying with neoliberal subjectification? Finnish and Portuguese non-traditional graduates and their educational ethosesPublication . Sippola, Markku; Valadas, Sandra; Paulos, Liliana; Leal, CarolinaThe Bourdieusian view of higher education (HE) emphasises its inherited nature and function in maintaining social hierarches. This is in conflict with the egalitarian and meritocratic ideas prevailing in some welfare regimes, such as those organised around Social Democratic or Conservative precepts. Moreover, the Bologna Process that began in the 2000s instilled the idea of employability as a broader goal of HE within the EU. This study investigates the experiences of non-traditional graduates (NTGs) from Finland and Portugal in relation to the trends affecting welfare regimes and the historical trajectories of HE. In the analysis, the ethoses of ‘HE as a virtue’, ‘human capital’, and ‘employability’ were identified. The ethoses are accompanied by varying degrees of resisting or complying with commodification of HE and neoliberal subjectification. HE institutions can be regarded as providing distinctive ethoses of NTGs that can be traced back to the influence of their respective welfare regimes.
- Psychological profile of adolescents living in residential care: implications for evidence-based interventionsPublication . Simão, Ana; Martins, Cátia; Nunes, CristinaPsychological adjustment in adolescents living in residential care settings is a multidetermined process. This study explores the psychological adjustment of adolescents living in residential care, aiming to identify distinct psychosocial profiles. The sample comprised 433 adolescents (196 boys and 237 girls), aged 12 to 18 years, from 46 Portuguese institutions. Participants self-reported on key variables, including social support, coping strategies, emotion regulation, Dark Triad traits, attachment, and institutional integration. Hierarchical cluster analysis revealed three theoretically coherent profiles, differentiated by number of close friends, duration of institutionalization, substance use, and psychiatric medication. These profiles reflect varying levels of psychological, emotional, behavioral, and social adjustment and align with international literature. This study offers a novel contribution by identifying specific adjustment patterns among adolescents in care, providing valuable insights to inform more tailored intervention and prevention strategies aimed at fostering healthier development and well-being in this vulnerable group.
- Measuring parental school involvement: a systematic reviewPublication . Belém, Helena Sofia Mocho Alcaparra; Martins, Cátia; dos Santos, Rita Alexandra Mendes; Ratinho, Elias; Nunes, CristinaAbstract: Parental school involvement (PSI) is a multidimensional construct that significantly influences children’s academic adjustment and overall development. However, inconsistencies persist in its definition and measurement, with researchers operationalizing PSI through a varied of parental activities. This study aimed to (1) identify PSI instruments and their theoretical models and (2) evaluate their psychometric properties. Following PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO ID CRD42023451091, registered August 2023), this systematic review examined six databases (Web of Science, ERIC, MEDLINE, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, PsycArticles, and PsycInfo), analyzing quantitative studies from 2000 to 2024. Inclusion criteria encompassed instruments designed for parents, teachers, or children aged 6–15 and published in peer-reviewed journals in English, Portuguese, Spanish, or French. From an initial pool of 490 records, 38 studies were included, yielding 43 instruments: 23 for parents, 15 for children, and 5 for teachers. Seven instruments followed Epstein’s model, while nine followed the Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler framework, underscoring the prominence of these theoretical approaches. The study quality, assessed with MMAT, was generally moderate to high. Despite an exhaustive search effort, it is possible that some relevant instruments were not identified. Nevertheless, this review advances the understanding of PSI operationalization, promotes more consistent and replicable assessments, enhances alignment between instruments and study objectives, and strengths the validity of findings derived from these tools.
- Physiological and psychological benefits of exposure to nature during work in a military bunker—a pilot experimental studyPublication . Silva Fernandes, Maria Jacinta; Bento, Ana Teresa; Gonçalves, Gabriela; Campos, ClariceThe present controlled experimental research addresses the effects of exposure to nature on workers’ well-being and job performance in a work-confined setting. Ten individuals working in an open-space office inside a Portuguese military bunker were exposed to simulated nature (audio sounds and/or video images of nature). Quantitative physiological (heart rate) and self-reported measures (perceived positive and negative emotions, environment restorativeness, and work performance) were taken. Results indicate that exposure to nature during working time in confined places, through simulating a window with a view of nature and/or by introducing sounds of nature, promotes physiological and emotional well-being at work (heart rate significantly decreases, positive emotions significantly increase, and negative emotions decrease), and significantly increases employees’ perception of workplace restorative qualities. The results on work performance were non-significant. The present findings contribute to the evidence of the restorative effects of nature exposure during work. The research bridges a gap by considering workplaces where real nature exposure is not feasible and examining the evidence on the beneficial biophilic interventions (the restorative effects of simulated nature) within confined environments. The strategy to use videos and audio of nature may improve the structural conditions of work, benefiting well-being in these types of work settings.
- Adaptation and validation of the perceived restorativeness scale (PRS) for the portuguese population: a study on the assessment of the restorative effect of environmentsPublication . Sousa, Cátia; Silva Fernandes, Maria Jacinta; Encarnação, Tiago; Gonçalves, GabrielaThe relationship between natural environments and psychological well-being has gained increasing attention in environmental and health sciences. However, there is still a lack of robust quantitative instruments to assess the restorative potential of different environments. This study aimed to adapt and validate the Portuguese version of the Perceived Restorativeness Scale (PRS), an instrument based on Attention Restoration Theory that evaluates the perceived restorative qualities of environments. In Study 1, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted on data from 410 participants. The results supported a refined 20-item version of the scale, comprising four factors—being away, fascination, compatibility, and legibility—with good internal consistency and acceptable model fit. Measurement invariance analysis confirmed configural, metric, and scalar invariance across gender. In Study 2, a separate sample of 212 participants completed the PRS along with additional validated measures: the Sublime Emotion toward Nature Scale (SEN), an aesthetic evaluation of landscapes, and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). The PRS showed strong convergent and discriminant validity and significantly predicted restorative outcomes. These findings support the psychometric adequacy of the Portuguese PRS and its relevance as a valid tool for assessing perceived restorativeness in both natural and built environments. The scale may inform future research and public policies aimed at designing spaces that promote psychological restoration and mental well-being.
