- Self-determination as a mediator between mindfulness and perfectionism in theory and practicePublication . Antunes, João Paulo; Neves de Jesus, Saúl; Brás, Marta; Carmo, CláudiaMindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have been surging as an alternative to cognitive-behavioural therapy for perfectionism. Despite promising results, there are practical and theoretical concerns regarding high resistance from perfectionists towards developing mindfulness related capabilities. Self-Determination Motivation could provide a pathway to circumvent this problem by mediating the relationship between mindfulness and multidimensional perfectionism. Ninety-three university students filled a questionnaire containing mindfulness, perfectionism and motivation measures. Thirteen participants were then included in an 8-week MBI.
- Metabeliefs about worry, cognitive fusion, and acceptance: associations and mediations analysisPublication . Sanchez-Escamilla, Francisco; Redondo-Delgado, Marta; Jiménez-Ros, Antonia María; Pérez-Nieto, Miguel ÁngelBackground: Although metacognitive therapy (MCT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) are grounded in different theoretical frameworks, both target repetitive negative thinking (RNT) processes, such as worry and rumination, and share a focus on fostering psychological flexibility and reducing experiential avoidance. However, no integrated theoretical model currently exists to combine their potential strengths. Recent research highlights the importance of metacognitive beliefs and acceptance-related processes in maintaining maladaptive RNT. Objective: This study aimed to explore metacognitive and acceptance-based variables in relation to RNT. Methods: The sample consisted of 149 people (116 females), aged between 18 and 71 (M = 34.7; SD = 14.9) who answered the following questionnaires: PSWQ, The AAQ-II, The CFQ, The VQ, MCQ-30 and TCQ. Results: The mediation analysis reveals that cognitive fusion significantly mediated the relationship between metacognitive beliefs and worry, whereas acceptance had a weaker mediating effect. Conclusion: Beliefs about the uncontrollability of worry appear to play a pivotal role in sustaining worry, primarily through their influence on cognitive fusion. These findings provide preliminary support for conceptual overlaps between MCT and ACT in addressing RNT. However, as this is an exploratory and crosssectional study, conclusions about treatment mechanisms should be drawn cautiously, and future longitudinal and experimental studies are needed to strengthen these insights.

Garrido, Jaime Lira; Tressières, Gaétan; Chauvey, Lorelei; Schiavinato, Stéphanie; Calvière-Tonasso, Laure; Seguin-Orlando, Andaine; Southon, John; Shapiro, Beth; Bataille, Clément; Birgel, Julie; Wagner, Stefanie; Khan, Naveed; Liu, Xuexue; Rodanés, José María; Picazo Millán, Jesús V.; Giralt, Josep; Alonso, Natàlia; Aguilera, Isidro; Orsingher, Adriano; Trentacoste, Angela; Payà, Xavier; Morán, Marta; Iborra Eres, María Pilar; Albizuri, Silvia; Valenzuela Lamas, Silvia; Mestres Santandreu, Imma; Duran Caixal, Montserrat; Principal, Jordi; Farré Huguet, Jordi; Esteve, Xavier; Pedro Pasqual, Mireia; Sala, Nohemi; Pablos, Adrián; Martín, Patricia; Vergès, Josep Maria; Portero, Rodrigo; Arias, Pablo; Ontañón Peredo, Roberto; Detry, Cleia; Luís, Cristina; Cardoso, João Luis; Maeir, Aren M.; Valente, Maria João; Grau, Elena; Estall I Poles, Vicent; Alfonso Llorens, Joaquín; Miguélez González, Ana; Gardeisen, Armelle; Cupitò, Michele; Tecchiati, Umberto; Bradley, Daniel G.; Kolska Horwitz, Liora; Rodríguez González, Esther; Nieto Espinet, Ariadna; Bover, Pere; Ruiz Entrecanales, Rosa; Garcés Estallo, Ignasi; Jiménez Fragoso, Joaquín; Celestino, Sebastián; Orlando, LudovicHorses have inhabited Iberia (present-day Spain and Portugal) since the Middle Pleistocene, shaping a complex history in the region. Iberia has been proposed as a potential domestication centre and is renowned for producing world-class bloodlines. Here, we generate genome-wide sequence data from 87 ancient horse specimens (median coverage = 0.97X) from Iberia and the broader Mediterranean to reconstruct their genetic history over the last ~26,000 years. Here, we report that wild horses of the divergent IBE lineage inhabited Iberia from the Late Pleistocene, while domesticated DOM2 horses, native from the Pontic-Caspian steppes, already arrived ~1850 BCE. Admixture dating suggests breeding practices involving continued wild restocking until at least ~350 BCE, with IBE disappearing shortly after. Patterns of genetic affinity highlight the far-reaching influence of Iberian bloodlines across Europe and north Africa during the Iron Age and Antiquity, with continued impact extending thereafter, particularly during the colonization of the Americas.
- Rest to resist: how recovery shields well-being from work–family strainPublication . Sousa, Cátia; Silva, LauraThis study examines the mediating role of recovery experiences in the relationship between work–family conflict (WFC) and employee well-being. While WFC has been consistently linked to negative outcomes such as psychological distress and reduced life satisfaction, the mechanisms that may buffer its effects remain underexplored. Drawing on the Conservation of Resources Theory and the Effort-Recovery Model, we investigated whether four types of recovery experiences—psychological detachment, relaxation, mastery, and control—mediate the WFC–well-being relationship. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 240 employees using validated self-report instruments. Data were analysed through correlation, regression, and mediation techniques, including bootstrapping procedures via PROCESS. The results confirmed a significant negative association between WFC and well-being. All four recovery experiences were positively related to well-being, with relaxation emerging as the strongest predictor. Mediation analyses showed that each of the recovery experiences partially mediated the relationship between WFC and well-being. These findings highlight the importance of recovery as a psychological buffer in the context of elevated work–family interference. Organizational practices that foster recovery—such as encouraging psychological detachment, offering flexible schedules, and promoting restorative activities—may contribute to sustaining employee mental health and resilience

- Adaptation and validation of a Child-Reported measure of parental school involvementPublication . Belém, Helena Sofia Mocho Alcaparra; Martins, Cátia; Ratinho, Elias; Nunes, CristinaParental school involvement (PSI) is an important contributor to children’s academic and overall positive development. Such activities as discussing schoolwork and tracking progress can boost children’s motivation and achievements. Although the multifaceted nature of PSI is widely recognized, there are limited reliable measures that comprehensively capture all its dimensions, particularly for children and adolescents. This study aims to develop a measure for assessing children and adolescents’ perceptions of parental involvement based on parent- and teacher-validated self-report measures—the Parental School Involvement Questionnaire—Children’s version (PSIQ-CV). A total of 537 children and adolescents (MAge = 9.64, SDAge = 2.43), mainly female (52.8%), from the south of Portugal participated in this study. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA, n = 150) and a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA, n = 387) were carried out. The EFA indicated a three-factor solution (i.e., support in learning activities, parent–school communication, and supervision), supported by the CFA, with good quality-of-fit indices (χ2 = 225; df = 101; χ2/df = 2.23; CFI = 0.91; TLI = 0.89; RMSEA = 0.060 [CI: 0.049–0.070]). Our data confirmed that the PSIQ-CV has robust psychometric properties, with acceptable reliability and validity. The PSIQ-CV can be considered a relevant and valid tool for measuring the perception of parental school involvement among children and adolescents, in line with Epstein’s theoretical model, and useful for both researchers and practitioners.
- A elaboração de um léxico-gramática para os adjetivos do Português BrasileiroPublication . Martinez, Ryan Saldanha; Baptista, Jorge; Vale, Oto AraújoEste artigo descreve uma classificação e descrição em larga escala, ainda em andamento, dos adjetivos do português brasileiro. Classificamos em predicativo ou n ̃ao predicativo os 3.367 lemas mais frequentes de adjetivo em um corpus de referência, o que corresponde a 92.09% das ocorrências de adjetivos nesse corpus. Os adjetivos predicativos receberam classificações adicionais com base no número (um ou dois) e tipo de argumentos (grupo nominal ou ora ̧c ̃ao), o que levou a seis classes diferentes de adjetivo predicativo, acrescidos de outras duas subclasses. Também descrevemos as propriedades distribucionais de cada adjetivo predicativo: sujeito e complemento humano ou n ̃ao humano, modo dos argumentos oracionais, verbos copulativos e preposições. A classe mais representativa foi a dos adjetivos não predicativos, seguida pelos adjetivos intransitivos com grupo nominal e com sujeito oracional, respetivamente. Os adjetivos tendem a se construir com verbo copulativo ser, selecionar mais argumentos não humanos e, quando estes são orações, só mais comumente reduzidas de infinitivo ou orações modo subjuntivo. As preposições mais comumente aceitas foram para de e a.
- Processamento automático de expressões idiomáticas do português europeuPublication . Antunes, David; Baptista, Jorge; Mamede, NunoExpressões idiomáticas verbais são expressões multipalavra em que o verbo principal ´e distribucional mente fixo com um ou mais dos seus argumentos. O significado global destas expressões ´e, geralmente, não composicional, isto ´e, não pode ser regularmente inferido a partir do significado individual dos seus constituintes, quando usados separadamente. O principal objetivo deste trabalho ´e a construção de um sistema capaz de processar expressões idiomáticas do português europeu, integrado de forma fluida numa cadeia (pipeline) de processamento de linguagem natural. Para tal, foram desenvolvidas duas componentes fundamentais: (i) a criação de um corpus anotado com instancias de expressões idiomáticas verbais do português europeu, e (ii) o desenvolvimento de um sistema que gera regras de análise de dependência para identificar automaticamente expressões idiomáticas com base nas restrições linguísticas representadas numa matriz léxico-gramatical. O sistema foi avaliado com frases produzidas manualmente, frases geradas artificialmente (por um m´modulo específico do sistema) e usando documentos selecionados a partir de dois corpora e onde foram anotadas instâncias de expressões idiomáticas. Os resultados globais indicam que a Precisão do sistema ´e bastante satisfatória, enquanto a Abrangência (Recall) ´e menos favorável. Estes dados destacam a necessidade de direcionar esforços para melhorar o desempenho do sistema, nomeadamente das regras que permitem identificar automaticamente as expressões fixas em textos. Uma parte do corpus utilizado bem como das anotações de expressões idiomáticas são disponibilizados para a comunidade científica.
- Family support workforce skills: a conceptualization through a delphi studyPublication . Zegarac, Nevenka; Isakov, Anita Burgund; Jović, Nikola; Mešl, Nina; Martins, Cátia; Nunes, CristinaFamily support workforce encompasses a diverse range of professionals, and defining the skills required for this workforce is a multifaceted challenge. A Delphi study was designed to explore the core and field-specific skills essential for family support practitioners, with a keen focus on their implications for a comprehensive model. There were three rounds, with 31 family professionals participating in the first round, and 27 in the second and third rounds. In the initial round, data were gathered to inform subsequent rounds. A comprehensive, structured questionnaire featuring Likert-type scales and ranking options was developed for the second round, encompassing 122 variables across 11 questions. The third round involved panellists responding to 15 yes-no questions, with the opportunity to provide explanations when answering negatively.Findings The findings of this research contribute to the development of a model that outlines family support skills, highlighting the intricate interplay between core and field-specific skills, knowledge, approaches, personal traits, and amalgam qualities within the family support workforce. These core and field-specific workforce skills are strengthened by specific knowledge and practice approaches, reinforced by practitioner traits and qualities that facilitate effective family support. Applications The results of the study can contribute to the development of training for future providers and to the improvement of professional competencies. Implications of this study invite for the development of plain policies regarding education, development of professional competences, and the design of family supportive organizations and services.
- Contrast affects stimulus detection in natural scenesPublication . Lopes, Gabriel; Tavares, Mara; Mendonça, CatarinaHow can we predict if a brief stimulus will be detected or perceived when embedded in a dynamic natural scene, such as those we encounter in our daily lives? This is a complex problem, with several approaches to it. Here, we were interested in determining the minimum luminance contrast to the background scene required to achieve detection and shape perception. To investigate this, we used natural videos with briefly appearing natural events, varying in timing of appearance, shape, position, and contrast. We found that there is an interplay between the timing of the event, its position, and the contrast needed for detection. However, for correct shape perception, timing was not a relevant variable. A lower contrast was required for event detection than for correct shape perception. We conclude that contrast alone can affect stimulus detection, but other parameters might interact with it in this task.
