- Psychological morbidity, social support, and relationship intimacy in pregnant Portuguese womenPublication . Costa, Eleonora C. V.; Moreira, Litícia; Castanheira, Eva; Correira, Paulo; Pereira, GraçaPregnancy can predispose women to stress and depression, with social support and intimacy being protective factors for the development of these disorders. This study evaluated the relationship between stress (various stressors), social support, intimacy and depression in a sample of 169 pregnant women attending the Childbirth Preparation classes. Depressive mood was positively correlated with both stress and satisfaction with social support and intimacy were negatively correlated with stress and depressive. In short, it is pertinent to create networks of support and intervention in stress for the promotion of mental health of pregnant women.
- African versus portuguese managers’ attitudes toward older workers: an empirical studyPublication . Rego, Arménio; Vitória, Andreia; Ribeiro, Tânia; Ribeiro, Leonor; Lourenço-Gil, Rui; Leal, Susana; Cunha, Miguel Pina eThe study explores the attitudes toward older workers of African managers, and how these managers make HRM decisions in scenarios involving younger versus older students. We compare African (n= 154) with Portuguese (n= 134) managers. African (n= 63) and Portuguese (n= 138) university students are also included to make cultural, social and institutional explanations more robust. The findings suggest that, although African individuals have more positive attitudes toward older workers than Portuguese do, they make more discriminatory decisions in the HRM scenarios. We suggest that this contradiction may emerge from dualities characterizing Africa.
