- Escala de generatividade do casal: tradução, adaptação e estudo das propriedades psicométricas da versão portuguesaPublication . Costa-Ramalho, Susana; Marques-Pinto, Alexandra; Ribeiro, Maria Teresa; Pedro, MartaA importância da conjugalidade na vida adulta justifica o estudo de fatores que possam contribuir para a sua qualidade. Este artigo apresenta o desenvolvimento da Escala de Generatividade do Casal, versão portuguesa da Couple Generativity Scale de Bertoni, Parise e Iafrate (2012), bem como dados relativos à sua precisão e validade. Este questionário pretende avaliar a capacidade de o casal ultrapassar as fronteiras conjugais e cuidar também dos seus laços familiares e sociais. Com uma amostra de 406 adultos de ambos os sexos que se encontravam numa relação conjugal, foram identificadas qualidades psicométricas que encorajam a utilização da versão portuguesa. Os dados mostram que a estrutura unifatorial original se adequa à presente amostra, que a escala revela elevados níveis de precisão por consistência interna e que se evidenciam relações significativas da generatividade com outras variáveis importantes da conjugalidade, como ter filhos, a conceção da relação e a satisfação conjugal.

- The predictive value of dyadic coping in the explanation of PTSD symptoms and subjective well-being of work accident victimsPublication . Lameiras, Susana; Marques-Pinto, Alexandra; Francisco, Rita; Costa-Ramalho, Susana; Ribeiro, Maria TeresaObjective: Work accidents may be considered dyadic stressors in so far as they not only affect the worker, but also the couple's relationship. Dyadic coping, as the process by which couples manage the stress experienced by each partner, can strengthen individual health and well-being as well as couple relationship functioning. Accidents at work have progressively been studied from a perspective that focuses on their negative effects on PTSS, anxiety, and depression. However, to a large extent, the dyadic coping processes and results following a work accident are still to be identified and clarified. In this study, we examined the predictive value of dyadic coping in the explanation of PTSS and subjective well-being of work accident victims. Method: This study comprised a sample of 62 individuals involved in work accidents within the last 24 months (61.3% males) and their partners (N = 124; M = 46.25 years, SD = 11.18). All participants responded to the Dyadic Coping Inventory and the work accident victims also answered the PTSD Checklist - Civilian (PCL-C) and the Mental Health Continuum - Short Form (MHC-SF). Two hierarchical multiple regression analyses were performed using two different variable set models: Model 1 comprised the control variables gender and age, and Model 2 included the workers' and the partners' dyadic coping variables. Results: Results showed that dyadic coping reported by both workers and their respective partners (Model 2) was a significant predictor of workers' PTSS (p < 0.01) and subjective well-being (p < 0.001), explaining 31.2% of the variance in PCL-C and 68.7% in MHC-SF results. More specifically, the partners' supportive dyadic coping (by the self) and delegated dyadic coping (by the partner) were significant predictors of the workers' lower PTSS and virtually all the dyadic copying strategies of both the workers' and their partners' were significant predictors of the workers' higher subjective well-being. Conclusion: Dyadic coping of both the workers and their partners predicts the workers' PTSS and subjective well-being. These findings point to the need to work with couples who have experienced a work accident, with a view to improving the workers' mental health outcomes.
- Escala de Mitos do Amor Romântico (EMAR): portuguese version of the Scale of Myths of Romantic Love (SMRL)Publication . Grané-Morcillo, Jaume; Costa Ramalho, Susana; Pérez-Testor, Carles; Vall, BertaBackground: Violence legitimization has been associated with the myths of romantic love. In the Portuguese context, there are no available standardized tools to assess it. This study aimed to develop the adaptation and validation of the Portuguese version of the Scale of Myths of Romantic Love (SMRL) in youth and emerging adults. Also, the acceptance of myths of romantic love was described. Methods: The sample comprised 165 individuals (83% female) aged from 18 to 30 (M = 23.01; SD = 3.33). Results: Confirmatory factor analysis supported the two-factor correlated structure found in the original validation: Idealized Love (IL) and Distorted Love (DL). The selected nested model obtained acceptable good-of-fit indices. Reliability analysis indicated acceptable internal consistency (α = 0.728; ω = 0.711) and the item-factor correlations were strong. Gender differences in the endorsement of romantic myths were found. Males obtained significantly greater acceptance of need for a couple and ambivalence myths. Females significantly endorsed the half orange myth. Conclusions: Our findings supported the two-factor related structure of the SMRL Portuguese version. Gender-based differences in romantic beliefs and their potential link to violence legitimization, gender stereotypes, and love perception are highlighted as in need of further studies. This research provides evidence regarding the psychometric properties of the Escala de Mitos do Amor Romântico (EMAR).
