- AYA - I Am Not Afraid of You: combining assessment tools for evaluating a theater of the oppressed workshopPublication . Chagas, Lorena de Oliveira; Baltazar, André; Moreno, Ana Filipa; Bines, Rosana Kohl; Oliveira-Silva, Patrícia; Sá, CristinaThis interdisciplinary study investigates the transformative potential of the workshop AYA—I Am Not Afraid of You (“Aya—Não tenho medo de ti”), an innovative program that employs Theater of the Oppressed techniques to enhance well-being and empower young women. Participants engaged in collaborative and expressive activities to address and reframe experiences of oppression, fostering personal growth and collective resilience. A comprehensive mixed-method evaluation—integrating qualitative reflections, observational insights, surveys, and psychophysiological data—assessed the workshop’s influence on emotional well-being, reduction of reactiveness, and empowerment. The workshop took place in Porto, Portugal, with a small, purposefully selected sample of nine young Lusophone women, of Portuguese and Brazilian nationalities. While small in scale and diversity, the study demonstrates how such assessments can be adapted across cultural contexts. Results indicated improvements in well-being and embodied emotional indicators.

- Nodes of the default mode network implicated in the quality of empathic responses: a clinical perspective of the empathic responsePublication . Oliveira-Silva, Patrícia; Maia, Liliana; Coutinho, Joana; Moreno, Ana Filipa; Penalba, Lucia; Frank, Brandon; Soares, José Miguel; Sampaio, Adriana; Gonçalves, Óscar F.The ability to empathize with another person's inner experience is believed to be a central element of our social interactions. Previous research has focused on cognitive (e.g., theory of mind) and emotional (e.g., emotional contagion) empathy, and less on behavioral factors (i.e., the ability to respond empathically). Recent studies suggest that the Default Mode Network (DMN) mediates individual variability in distinct empathy-related behaviors. However, little is known about DMN activity during actual empathic responses, understood in this study as the ability to communicate our understanding of the others’ experience back to them. This study used an empathy response paradigm with 28 participants (22-37 years old) to analyze the relationship between the quality of empathic responses to 14 empathy-eliciting vignettes and patterns of attenuation in the DMN. Overall, the results suggest that high levels of empathic response, are associated with sustained activation of the DMN when compared with lower levels of empathy. Our results demonstrate that the DMN becomes increasingly involved in empathy-related behavior, as our level of commitment to the other's experience increases. This study represents a first attempt to understand the relation between the capacity for responding in a supportive way to others’ needs and the intra-individual variability of the pattern of the DMN attenuation. Here we underline the critical role that the DMN plays in high-level social cognitive processes and corroborate the DMN role in different psychiatric disorders associated with a lack of empathy.
