- The somatechnic hermeneutic: ‘embodying’ the worlds of journalism studyPublication . Novais, Rui Alexandre; Resende, FilipeThis study introduces a somatechnic hermeneutic to bridge the theoretical insights of the bodily turn in journalism studies with the empirical architecture of large-scale survey research, exemplified by the Worlds of Journalism Study (WJS). We argue that indicators such as safety, autonomy, precarity, and role conceptions are not merely abstract variables but proxies for lived, embodied experience. Applying this hermeneutic to Portugal's paradoxical profile - marked by high physical safety alongside acute economic precarity - we identify a state of somatic dissonance, in which the journalistic body is caught between physical protection and systemic strain. Through comparative analysis, we demonstrate how this dissonance fractures professional self-perception, revealing professional role commitments are not only cognitive ideals but also corporeal practices. This approach re-frames perceptual survey data into a narrative of embodied experience and provides a framework for addressing empirical paradoxes, offering a transferable methodology for understanding how the pressures of journalism are somatically registered and endured across diverse media systems.
- Beyond correlation: how attachment insecurities fuel social anxiety through perfectionism in young adultsPublication . Maia, Berta Rodrigues; Marques, Mariana; Moreira, Helena; Carvalho, Frederica; Leite, ÂngelaThis study examined how attachment anxiety and avoidance are indirectly associated with social anxiety and social avoidance through multidimensional perfectionism in young adults. A sample of 230 Portuguese university students (18– 25 years) completed validated measures of attachment (ECR-RS), perfectionism (MPCS), and social anxiety/avoidance (SIPAAS). Using parallel multiple mediation models (PROCESS Model 4) with 5,000 bias-corrected bootstrap samples, we tested indirect associations at both the dimension level (eight perfectionism subscales) and the composite factor level (Evaluative Concerns, Positive Striving). Controlling for age and sex, both attachment dimensions showed significant indirect associations with social distress/anxiety and social avoidance primarily through maladaptive perfectionism dimensions, including Doubts about Actions and Socially Prescribed Perfectionism. At the factor level, Evaluative Concerns was a significant mediator for both attachment dimensions, whereas Positive Striving was indirectly associated only with the link between attachment anxiety and social avoidance. Women reported higher levels of social anxiety and were more likely to exceed the SIPAAS screening cut-offs. These findings highlight specific perfectionism dimensions that may help explain how attachment insecurities relate to social anxiety symptoms in young adults, while acknowledging that the cross-sectional design precludes causal inference.
- Measuring compulsive texting: psychometric properties of the CTS in a Portuguese samplePublication . Leite, Ângela; Marôco, JoãoIntroduction: Compulsive texting refers to persistent and excessive texting behaviors that interfere with daily functioning and are often conceptualized within problematic mobile phone use. Valid instruments are needed to assess this construct in different cultural contexts. Aim: This study examined the psychometric properties of the Compulsive Texting Scale (CTS) in a Portuguese adult sample. Method: Factorial validity was tested through confirmatory factor analysis using the DWLS estimator. Reliability was assessed with Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega. Convergent and discriminant validity were evaluated using average variance extracted and inter-factor correlations. Measurement invariance across sex and schooling was examined through multi-group CFA with robust maximum likelihood estimation. Results: The CTS demonstrated a three-factor structure with good model fit and strong item loadings. Reliability indices were acceptable to strong across factors. Convergent validity was supported, although discriminant validity between Interference Tasks and Cognitive Preoccupation was limited. Measurement invariance was confirmed across sex and partially supported across schooling levels. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the CTS is a generally reliable and valid measure for assessing compulsive texting in Portuguese adults. Some subscales, particularly Concealment, may benefit from refinement. Future research should further strengthen discriminant validity and explore cultural considerations in compulsive texting assessment.
- Adaptabilidade de carreira: influência dos percursos educativos na infância e nível socioeconómicoPublication . Paiva, Inês; Oliveira, Íris M.Este estudo analisa a influência da Creche e/ou Educação Pré-Escolar na adaptabilidade de carreira de jovens do 9.º e 12.º anos de escolaridade de diferentes níveis socioeconómicos. Participaram 271 jovens (Midade = 15.46), que responderam a um Questionário de Caracterização Sociodemográfica e Académica e à Escala de Adaptabilidade de Carreira. Os resultados sugerem que jovens que frequentaram Creche e Educação Pré-Escolar apresentam maiores níveis de Preocupação e Curiosidade do que jovens que frequentaram Educação Pré-Escolar. Verificam-se ainda efeitos da interação entre percursos educativos na infância e níveis socioeconómicos nessas dimensões e na adaptabilidade de carreira total. Salienta-se a necessidade de prosseguir estudos prospetivos da infância à adolescência e investigações multidisciplinares e consultoria psicológica de carreira a agentes educativos.
- Decent work and psychological safety: the role of work modality and sector of activityPublication . Pereira, Susana Alves; Lopes, Sílvia; Rodrigues, Anabela; Carvalho, Vânia SofiaThis study examines the relationship between decent work and psychological safety, analysing whether work modality (onsite, remote, hybrid) and sector of activity (services versus industry) shape employees' experiences of both constructs. It aims to clarify how structural work conditions translate into relational climates of interpersonal safety. Data were collected from 423 employees across Portuguese organisations using a cross-sectional survey design. The Decent Work Questionnaire and the Psychological Safety Scale were employed. Results show a strong positive relationship between decent work and psychological safety. Employees in hybrid arrangements and in the services sector reported higher perceptions of both constructs. However, neither work modality nor sector moderated this relationship, suggesting that the positive association between decent work and psychological safety is stable across contexts. Organisations should prioritise decent work principles to enhance psychological safety across different work arrangements and sectors.
- Automatically generating visual modeling environmentsPublication . Gião, Hugo da; Pereira, Rui; Vilaça, Miguel; Cunha, JácomeModel-Driven Engineering (MDE) offers significant benefits but faces usability challenges, particularly in developing intuitive modeling interfaces. Most existing tools rely on textual or tree-based editors, which are often difficult for non-technical users to navigate. Creating custom graphical editors based on existing metamodels, a common way to describe modeling environments and languages, typically requires substantial manual effort and specialized knowledge of complex frameworks such as Sirius. These hurdles limit the broader adoption of MDE among developers and domain experts. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for automated, flexible, and user-friendly approaches to generating interfaces that can make MDE more accessible and practical across various domains. In this work, we present a method for automatically generating a visual modeling environment from existing metamodels. Based on this method, we devised Model2Block, a command-line application that automatically generates block-based visual languages from metamodels defined using the Ecore language. The tool analyzes an input metamodel and produces a corresponding set of blocks, which are then integrated into a web-based environment. This enables users to visually build models using blocks that represent valid model elements. We present an applicability study demonstrating that our method and tool were successfully applied to a publicly available dataset containing more than 50 metamodels. Moreover, we present a case study of a concrete modeling environment we generated from a metamodel, achieving, in this particular case, higher usability and lower workload than an existing tool.
- A questão das gerações na perspetiva das pessoas nascidas em 1940-1950, no distrito de Braga, PortugalPublication . Duque, Eduardo; Vázquez, José DuránO objetivo do presente texto é apresentar os resultados de uma investigação realizada com pessoas da geração de 1940-1950 pertencentes ao distrito de Braga, em Portugal, descrevendo e analisando as suas experiências de vida nos domínios da família, da educação, do trabalho, do lazer e da religião. Na primeira parte do artigo analisa-se o conceito de geração, evidenciando as razões da sua perda de relevância, após ter sido um conceito central nas décadas de 1920 e 1930. Na segunda parte descrevem-se as experiências, atitudes e valores da geração objeto do estudo. Conclui-se que as pessoas desta geração partilham um conjunto de experiências e valores comuns que não resultam apenas do facto de terem nascido no mesmo lugar e na mesma época, sob determinadas circunstâncias, mas sobretudo do mundo que construíram nesse contexto, em interação com outras pessoas.

- Entre centenários: o Camões de Garrett e o Camões de CamiloPublication . Braga, João PauloEm 2025 comemora-se o bicentenário do nascimento de Camilo Castelo Branco. Celebra-se também o 5º centenário do nascimento de Luís de Camões. Coincidentemente, o poema que Almeida Garrett dedicou ao Épico, marco da introdução do Romantismo em Portugal, foi publicado a primeira vez em 1825. Que imagem de Camões perpassa nas abundantes páginas de Camilo? Será o Camões de Garrett e do Romantismo? Pretende-se, aqui, rastrear a presença de Camões na obra de Camilo, tentando contextualizá-la e interpretá-la à luz de fatores coletivos e individuais.
