Adaptación y validación de la Escala de Satisfacción con el Apoyo Recibido de la Pareja y diseño y validación de la Escala de Disposición a Recibir Apoyo Social by Rozzana Sánchez-Aragón, Nazira Calleja

“…Por ello, esta investigación se propuso adaptar y validar el Cuestionario de Apoyo Social (CAS) de Sarason et al. (1983) en el contexto de la relación de pareja con el propósito de diseñar y validar una escala de disposición para recibir apoyo social ambas en México, así como evaluar la invarianza de medición por sexo para ambas escalas. Tras contar con la participación de 202 parejas heterosexuales mexicanas, se realizaron análisis factoriales exploratoriosy confirmatorios con el fin de examinar tanto la conformación factorial como el ajuste al modelo y las posibles variaciones por sexo en cada caso. …”

A GLOBALIZAÇÃO COMO UM PROCESSO DE MUDANÇA DE ESTRUTURAS SOCIAIS, POLÍTICAS, CULTURAIS E ECONÓMICAS NAS SOCIEDADES INTEGRANTES by Almir Santos Reis Junior, João Fabião Machava

“… As mutações tecnológicas têm dado origem a inúmeras transformações nas sociedades nos âmbitos nacional e global desde a deslocalização dos centros de produção e a consequente integração de novos actores nos processos produtivos, passando pelo esbatimento das fronteiras, criando-se uma aldeia global, ou seja, o mundo já não é visto como algo grandioso, mas sim como uma aldeia onde os processos de convivência se aproximam cada vez mais criando, deste modo, uma simbiose sociocultural donde surgem novos paradigmas que urge, primeiro compreendê-los e depois, sendo o caso, adoptá-los ora porque se adequam ao modus vivendi local ora porque o desenvolvimento, processo visto por muitos como inexorável e inevitável, virá coptar, mesmo contra a vontade de quem pode. Assim, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo procurar, não apenas respostas, mas e sobretudo compreender o processo da globalização como aquele que, podendo ser nocivo sob determinadas perspectivas às quais chamou-se de pessimistas, pode, igualmente, ser proveitoso e útil, quando visto como um processo integrativo. …”

The Cost of Regulating Effort: Reward and Difficulty Cues With Longer Prediction Horizons Have a Stronger Impact on Performance by Nanne Kukkonen, Senne Braem, Jens Allaert, Joshua O. Eayrs, Nicoleta Prutean, S. Tabitha Steendam, C. Nico Boehler, Jan R. Wiersema, Wim Notebaert, Ruth M. Krebs

“…Across four experiments, we studied the effects of reward expectancy and task difficulty on effort expenditure in a perceptual decision-making task (random-dot-motion) and a cognitive control task (colour-naming Stroop), and within each task comparted cues between short (cueing the next trial) and long (cueing the next six trials) prediction horizons. …”
