- Adaptação psicossocial e bem-estar em adolescentes imigrantes. Um estudo comparativo entre Portugal e EspanhaPublication . Hernando, Ángel; Nunes, Cristina; Cruz, Carmen; Lemos, Ida Manuela de Freitas Andrade Timóteo; Valadas, SandraA forma como as novas gerações de imigrantes se integraram na sociedade portuguesa e espanhola terá uma influência decisiva no futuro de ambos os países. Assim, promover a saúde, bem-estar e adaptação psicossocial assume-se como uma questão estratégica. No presente trabalho analisamos os fatores associados ao bem-estar e à adaptação psicossocial numa amostra de 108 adolescentes (55 rapazes e 53 raparigas), filhos de imigrantes residentes em Huelva (Espanha) e no Algarve (Portugal), com idades compreendidas entre os 10 e os 17 anos. Os dados recolhidos reportam-se às características sociodemográficas e ao bem-estar percebido dos adolescentes. Para o efeito, utilizámos o KIDSCREEN-52, um questionário que avalia a perceção dos adolescentes sobre a saúde e o bem-estar segundo dez dimensões: Bem-estar Físico, Bem-estar Psicológico, Humor, Auto-perceção, Autonomia, Relações com os Pais e Vida Familiar, Recursos Económicos, Suporte Social e Suporte dos Pares, Ambiente Escolar e Aceitação Social. De uma forma global, foram encontradas diferenças significativas nas pontuações obtidas entre a amostra espanhola e a amostra portuguesa ao nível do Bem-estar Físico, Bem-estar Psicológico, Humor, Recursos económicos e Aceitação Social. Os rapazes relataram um maior nível de bem-estar físico, por comparação com as raparigas.

- Dark triad psychopathy outperforms self-control in predicting antisocial outcomes: A structural equation modeling approachPublication . Pechorro, Pedro; Curtis, Shelby; DeLisi, Matt; Marôco, J. P.; Nunes, CristinaDark Triad traits and self-control are considered viable causal precursors to antisocial and criminal outcomes in youth. The purpose of the present study is to concurrently compare how Dark Triad traits and self-control differ in terms of predicting self-reported juvenile delinquency, CD symptoms, proactive overt aggression, and crime seriousness. The sample consisted of 567 (M = 15.91 years, SD = 0.99 years, age range = 14–18 years) Southern European youth from Portugal. Structural-equation-modelling procedures revealed that the psychopathy factor of Dark Triad traits presented the strongest significant hypothetical causal associations with the antisocial/criminal outcomes, followed by self-control. Machiavellianism and narcissism presented the lowest causal associations. Our findings indicate that psychopathy, as operationalized in the Dark Triad, concurrently surpasses self-control and the remaining factors of the Dark Triad in terms of predicting antisocial/criminal outcomes in youth. This suggests that behavioral disinhibition, or a core incapacity to regulate one’s conduct, is central for understanding delinquency and externalizing psychopathology. Comparatively, the interpersonal component of dark personality features, such as Machiavellianism and narcissism, are secondary for understanding crime.
- Living with a veteran with trauma: Impact on family functioning using the genogram as a research toolPublication . Brites, Rute; Nunes, Odete; Hipólito, João; Brandão, Tânia; Correia, António; Nunes, CristinaIntroduction: Although the psychological impact of war on veterans, particularly the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), has been well documented, the long-term effects on their families have been less widely studied. Research suggests that veterans’ trauma can disrupt relationships and contribute to secondary/intergenerational trauma within the family. Objective: This study uses genograms to explore how PTSD symptoms experienced by veterans have influenced family rela tionships over time, and to uncover patterns of intergenerational and systemic impact in families of Portuguese Overseas War veterans. Method: A qualitative approach involving semi-structured interviews with 32 families (each comprising a veteran, their spouse, and at least one adult child) was used (n=100). The data were synthesized into genograms to visually map family structure, relationship quality, and patterns of psychological distress. Cross-family analysis was then conducted to identify common relational themes. Results: Families were clustered into four main impact groups: maximum negative impact, limited negative impact, no impact, and protective impact. These classifications reflect variations in family functioning, mental health symptoms, and relational patterns. In some families, the veteran’s trauma appeared to affect multiple subsystems, while in others, spouses played a buffering/protective role. A fifth group was identified, with no consistent pattern. Conclusion: Findings emphasize the complexity and variability of trauma transmission within families, highlighting both vul nerability and resilience. Using genograms proved effective in capturing systemic dynamics. These results emphasize the importance of adopting a family-systems approach in the clinical treatment of veterans affected by PTSD and suggest avenues for future research.
- The social anxiety scale for adolescents : measurement invariance and psychometric properties among a school sample of portuguese youthsPublication . Pechorro, Pedro Fernandes dos Santos; Ayala-Nunes, Lara; Nunes, Cristina; Maroco, João; Gonçalves, Rui AbrunhosaOver the last decades there has been an increased interest in assessing social anxiety in adolescents. This study aims to validate the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A) to Portuguese youth, and to examine its invariance across gender as well as its psychometric properties. The participants were 782 Portuguese youths (371 males, 411 females), with an average age of 15.87 years (SD = 1.72). The results support the original three-factor structure of the SAS-A, with measurement invariance being found across gender, with females scoring higher than males on two subscales. High levels of internal consistency were found. Positive associations with empathy demonstrated that high socially anxious adolescents have elevated empathy tendencies. Mostly null or low negative associations were found with measures of psychopathic traits, callous-unemotional traits and aggression. Study findings provide evidence that the SAS-A is a psychometrically sound instrument that shows measurement invariance between genders, good reliability and positive correlations with empathy.
