- Adaptação portuguesa da versão reduzida do Perfil de Estados de Humor – POMSPublication . Viana, Miguel Faro; Almeida, Pedro Henrique Garcia Lopes de; Santos, Rita C.Este trabalho apresenta os resultados de uma adaptação para Portugal da versão reduzida do Perfil de Estados de Humor (Profile of Mood States – POMS; McNair, Loor & Droppleman, 1971). A versão portuguesa reduzida do POMS foi aplicada a uma amostra de 373 atletas e não atletas, apresentando-se uma análise factorial exploratória dos resultados, consistência interna, assim como uma análise das diferenças entre sexos e entre praticantes e não praticantes de desporto. A análise realizada aponta para uma estrutura factorial válida e consistente com a estrutura original, coeficientes de fidelidade bastante satisfatórios para as seis escalas, assim como um padrão de diferenças entre grupos, congruentes com a literatura. A versão reduzida do POMS revela-se um instrumento válido e preciso para medir os estados de humor em indivíduos praticantes e não praticantes de desporto. A recolha de dados de aferição para Portugal deverá prosseguir com amostras mais amplas e, em especial, com populações psiquiátricas.------ ABSTRACT ------ This work presents the results of the Portuguese adaptation of the short version of the Profile of Mood States – POMS; McNair, Loor & Droppleman, 1971). The Portuguese version of the POMS was administered to 373 athletes and non-athletes. This study presents the results of an exploratory factor analysis, internal consistency and the differences between gender and athletes and non-athletes. The factor structure is valid and consistent with the original one. The internal coefficients are adequate and the inter group differences are also align with the results published in the literature. This version of the POMS provide valid and reliable measures of mood states in athletes and non athletes. The adaptation of the instrument to Portugal should continue with larger samples, and specially with psychiatric subjects.
- Athletes Perception of Coaches’ Leadership Style and Tendency to Cooperate among Competitive Teams [Percepción de los deportistas sobre el estilo de liderazgo de los entrenadores y la tendencia a cooperar en equipos competitivos]Publication . Lameiras, João; Martins, Bruno; Almeida, Pedro Henrique Garcia Lopes de; García-Mas, Alexandre; Garcia-Mas, AlexandreThe purpose of the present study was to discover the relationships between athletes’ perceived coach behaviors during training and competition, and cooperation via Bayesian network (BN). Professional male atheletes from several team sports (N = 158) completed the Portuguese version of the Leadership Scale for Sport and the Questionário de Cooperação Desportiva to assess cooperation. Relationships were identified between perceived coach behaviors in training and competition environments and with athletes tendency to cooperate. Overall, the findings support that in sports, coaching behaviours congruent with the athletes’ individual needs and adapted to the situational demands may promote prosocial behaviour.
- Avaliação da percepção de cooperação desportiva: Propriedades psicométricas da adaptação portuguesa do CCDPublication . Almeida, Pedro Henrique Garcia Lopes de; Lameiras, João; Martins, S.; Olmedilla, Aurelio; Ortega, Enrique; Garcia-Mas, AlexandreO principal objectivo do presente artigo é apresentar uma sugestão de versão portuguesa do Questionário de Cooperação Desportiva (Garcia-Mas et al., 2006). Este instrumento avalia o grau de cooperação numa situação desportiva, baseada na interacção interpessoal e na busca dos objectivos por parte dos jogadores relativamente aos objectivos da equipa, do treinador e dos seus companheiros. As qualidades psicométricas do instrumento foram avaliadas numa amostra de 127 atletas praticantes de futebol. A análise factorial confirmatória original revelou que os dados obtidos com a versão portuguesa não apresentam uma total sobreposição aos obtidos com a versão espanhola. Assim, adoptando uma estratégia exploratória e tendo em conta a dupla fonte de cooperação (disposicional e situacional), propôs-se uma forma de melhorar a validade de constructo do questionário através de uma nova estrutura factorial e da eliminação de alguns itens. A versão final do QCD-p é composta por 12 itens distribuídos por dois factores disposicionais (Cooperação Condicionada e Cooperação Incondicionada) e um factor situacional (Cooperação com o Treinador).
- Beneficios percibidos de las lesiones deportivas: Estudio cualitativo en futbolistas profesionales y semiprofesionalesPublication . Almeida, Pedro Henrique Garcia Lopes de; Luciano, Rui; Lameiras, JoãoThe aim o f the study was to identify and analyze the perceived benefits associated with sports injury in 16 professional and semi-professional players who were injured during sports practice. For data collection semi-structured interviews were conducted, content analyses being performed through the QSR Nvivo 2.0 software. 31 participants reported perceived benefits throughout the injury process, with social support and sports education referrals. The findings point to the importance of including positive aspects for a clearer and more complete understanding of the overall impact of sports injuries.
- Cohesión y cooperación en equipos deportivosPublication . Olmedilla, Aurelio; Ortega, Enrique; Almeida, Pedro Henrique Garcia Lopes de; Lameiras, João; Villalonga, Tomás; Sousa, CristinaLa cohesión y la cooperación son dos mecanismos psicológicos del equipo diferentes teóricamente, y relativamente independientes. En este trabajo se pretende estudiar, en una muestra de 945 jugadores de fútbol de competición, con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 18 años (media: 14.7 y dt: 1.8) los niveles de cohesión y de cooperación, y su relación entre sí, así como con otras variables. Los resultados indican que los factores de la cohesión deportiva se comportan casi como un factor único, al contrario de lo que ocurre con la cooperación, y que existe rela-ción entre cooperación incondicionada y cohesión. Se ha hallado diferencia significativa entre los jugadores titulares y suplentes, respecto de la coope-ración condicionada y de la cohesión global, pero no aparecen cambios con la posición de juego ni con los años de práctica. Finalmente, la co-hesión puede ser determinada en parte por la cooperación, mientras que el factor de la cohesión de la aceptación de roles se demuestra relevante para ambos constructos. ------ ABSTRACT ------ Cohesion and cooperation are two psychological mechanisms of teams that are theoretically different and relatively independent. The intent of this study was to assess the levels of cohesion and cooperation and the relationships between them, as well as other variables, in a sample of 945 competitive football players between the ages of 12 and 18 years (M = 14.7, SD = 1.8). The results indicate that the factors of athletic cohesion behave almost as one single factor, which is the opposite of what happens with cooperation, and that there is a relationship between uncon-ditional cooperation and cohesion. There is a significant difference be-tween starting and bench players with regard to the conditional coopera-tion and overall cohesion, but there are no differences with regard to player's position nor with the years of practice. Finally, cohesion may be determined in part by cooperation, while the factor of cohesion of the acceptance of roles has been demonstrated to be relevant for both con-structs.

- Employer branding and psychological contract in family and non-family firmsPublication . Pimentel, Duarte Nuno Gonçalves; Almeida, Pedro Henrique Garcia Lopes de; Marques-Quinteiro, Pedro; Sousa, MartaABSTRACT: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to assess differences between employees of family and non-family firms regarding their perceptions of employer branding and psychological contract levels. Moreover, focusing on family firms, the authors assess the relation between the employees’ perceptions of employer branding and the psychological contract levels. Design/methodology/approach – The empirical evidence is provided by a sample of 165 Portuguese employees, 76 employees of family firms and 89 non-family firms’ employees, who responded to a questionnaire that included employer branding and psychological contract measures. All respondents study in small and medium-sized private companies. Findings – The results confirmed the research hypotheses, suggesting that employees of family companies show higher perceptions of employer branding and psychological contract levels than employees of nonfamily companies. Results also reveal that the perceptions of employer branding are positively related to the psychological contract levels of the family firm’s employees. Originality/value – This paper aims to contribute to the literature by addressing two contemporary organizational aspects yet under-addressed in the comparison between family and non-family firms while pursuing to offer insights on the relationship between the perceptions s of employer branding and levels of the psychological contract of employees working in family firms.

- Incorporación de una rutina para la optimización del rendimiento deportivoPublication . Lameiras, João; Almeida, Pedro Henrique Garcia Lopes de; Pons, Juan; Garcia-Mas, AlexandreThe aim of the study was to assess the impact of the inclusion of a routine in the performance of a young player, in terms of direct free execution. Based on the Five-step Approach (Singer, 2000) an individualized intervention directed towards the learning and systematization of a routine was conducted, using strategies for physical, technical and mental preparation of the athlete. The results indicate that after the intervention the athlete’s performance improved significantly, demonstrating the positive impact of incorporating routines, similar to results of previous studies (e.g. Ajamil, Pascual, Idiakez and Echevarria, 2011; Czech, Ploszay and Burke, 2004; Lidor and Mayan, 2005; Singer, 2002). The findings of this study have important practical implications for all those involved in the sports context. As well as contributing to an effective approach in response to this specific need, it emphasizes the importance of incorporating psychological strategies in the field of athletic training.
- O papel do locus de controlo na relação entre a liderança situacional e a satisfaçãoPublication . Almeida, Pedro Henrique Garcia Lopes de; Marques-Quinteiro, Pedro; Moreira, Ana; Cancelino, Ana FradeO presente artigo tem como objetivo estudar a relação entre a liderança situacional e a satisfação com a chefia direta, assim como o efeito mediador do locus de controlo nesta relação. A amostra do presente estudo é composta por 149 trabalhadores recrutados através do método snowball. Todos os participantes reportaram ter supervisão direta. Os resultados sugerem que existe uma relação positiva entre a liderança situacional e a satisfação com o supervisor que não é mediada pelo locus de controlo externo, de tal forma que B = 0,04, SE = 0,04, IC 95% [-0,05; 0,13]. No entanto esta relação é mediada pelo locus de controlo interno, de tal forma que B = 0,12, SE = 0,05, IC 95% [0,04; 0,23]. Os resultados deste estudo vêm ajudar a perceber o processo através do qual os comportamentos de liderança das chefias diretas se relacionam com o desenvolvimento de atitudes positivas por parte dos colaboradores no local de trabalho.
