We selected five participants who were present in atleast 60% of the ten weekly meetings. Verbal exchanges in meetings and individual interviews supported the formation of analysis categories corresponding to three parenting styles: authoritative or democratic, authoritarian,and permissive. The Social Skills Rating System -Brazilian version (SSRS)and a secondindividual interview were applied attheend of the meetings. We have verified changes towardsthe adoption of an authoritative parenting style, whichgenerated positive impacts onfamily relationships. Social skills led to developments in the behavior ofchildren at school, indicating that it is a way to overcome the situation of social vulnerability in which they find themselves.","PeriodicalId":196737,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Psychology and Psychological Trends","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127893182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, it was considered important to know the perspective of educators / teachers and parents / guardians for the 121 children with ASD who participated in this study.These children, aged 3-11 years old, live in the Azores (ARA) and are enrolled in kindergarten and in primary schools.Data were collected with a questionnaire (educators/teachers) and in an interview (parents/caretakers). Results suggest that there are different perspectives between the two groups, with educators/teachers viewing the functionality profile of these children as being more aggravated. These differences are statistically significant, especially in terms of the functionalities assessed by the items of communication and learning. The analysis of these different perspectives evidences the importance of the communication between these educational providers regarding the work developed by them.","PeriodicalId":196737,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Psychology and Psychological Trends","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132446623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Core elements of the PYD model are the 5Cs: competence, confidence, connection, character and caring (Lerner, 2007). There is ample evidence that the 5Cs are positively related to the adolescent's contribution and negativelyrelated to risky behaviors and emotional difficulties. In the present study, we investigated therelationship between the 5Cs and anxiety (and components of anxiety) in a sample of adolescents using the PYD questionnaire (Geldof et al., 2013) andthe AN -UD anxiety scale (Kozina, 2012) in Slovenia (N= 449, Mage=17.10years). The findings indicate the PYD dimensions of confidence and connection as negative predictors of anxiety (andcomponents of anxiety) while caring is shown as a positive predictor of anxiety (and components of anxiety). The findings are informativefor practice within an educational framework, where intervention strategies based on the 5Cs can be used to moderate high-risk behaviors and emotional difficulties, although with caring, some caution need to be taken due to its positive association with anxiety.","PeriodicalId":196737,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Psychology and Psychological Trends","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128941169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, there are multiple perspectives and approaches in the field regarding effective assessment and treatment of gender diverse and transgender clients. Given the ongoing debate around best practices, the current exploratory research study investigates the perspectives and satisfaction of transgender youth and their parents actively seeking out gender health assessments (e.g., hormone readiness assessments). Twenty-five parents and 22 youth who were accessing gender health services through a community outpatient clinic completed a questionnaire about the gender health assessment process. Survey data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, and portions analyzed using thematic analysis. Similar responsepatterns were found between groups and themes emerged surrounding the need for an individualized approach to care.

HL, according to the Process-Knowledge Model, consists of both processing capacity and knowledge (Chin et al., 2017). COPD most commonly occurs in older adults (Cazzola, Donner, & Hanania, 2007). Older adults tend to have lower processing capacity (Chin et al., 2017). The purpose of this study was to determine if HL was associated with medication refill adherence (MRA)and/or MIT. Fifty-seven participants completed a questionnaire package that included demographic questions, measures of HL, and assessments of MRA and MIT. A subset of twenty patients participated in qualitative interviews. Results indicated that lower HL was associated with both lower MRA and poor MIT, and qualitative findings revealed the need for further information.

However, little is known about the role of dysfunctional attitudes(DA)in Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). This study aimed to evaluate DA as a mediator between parental attachment and PIPV victimization of young adults. Methods.Self-report questionnaires were completed by 915 young French adults to assess their attachment styles, DA (related to sociotropy and autonomy), andhistory of physical assault. Results. Twohundred and six participants (21.1%) reported having beenvictims of PIPV. Path analyses confirmed the indirect effect of DA in the relationship between parental attachment styles and PIPV victimizationin young adults. DA related to sociotropy appearedto be a partial mediator of attachment to the mother and PIPV victimization,while DA related to autonomy appearedto be a partial mediator of attachment to the father and PIPVvictimization.Conclusion.

The Go/No-Go Association Task (GNAT, Nosek & Banaji, 2001) was conducted among undergraduates (N=44; Men = 26, Women = 18). The results indicated that, among menparticipants in the control condition, more fathers than mothers implicitly associated with work, and more mothers implicitly associated with home; however, such differences were not significant among men participants in the counterstereotypic fathers condition.
