- Sexual activity and sexual satisfaction among older adults in four european countriesPublication . Træen, Bente; Štulhofer, Aleksandar; Janssen, Erick; Carvalheira, Ana Alexandra; Hald, Gert Martin; Lange, Theis; Graham, Cynthia A.The aim of this article was to describe partnered and non-partnered sexual activity and sexual satisfaction in older men and women from Norway, Denmark, Belgium, and Portugal, and to explore sociodemographic correlates of sexual activity and satisfaction. Data were collected in 2016 using postal, anonymous questionnaires in probability samples of the population aged 60-75 years recruited by phone registers in Norway (676 men, 594 women), Denmark (530 men, 515 women), Belgium (318 men, 672 women), and Portugal (236 men, 273 women). In men, the percentage of sexually active participants in the past year ranged from 83% in Portugal to 91% in Norway. In women, the percentage of sexually active participants during the last year ranged from 61% in Belgium to 78% in Denmark. Regarding frequency of sexual intercourse activity during the past month, men in Norway, Denmark, and Belgium (23-24%) most often reported 2-3 times per month, whereas most men in Portugal (29%) reported 1-3 times per week. Masturbation was most commonly reported among Norwegian men (65%) and women (40%), and least commonly in Portugal. Concerning sexual satisfaction, across all countries, 40-60% of participants reported that they were sexually satisfied. Portuguese men and Danish women reported being most sexually satisfied. Having a partner was the most important positive predictor of sexual activity and sexual satisfaction in all subgroups except Portuguese men. In conclusion, partnered sexual activity was more frequent in the south of Europe, and solitary sexual activity more frequent in Northern Europe.

- Estudo sobre a relação em supervisão de psicoterapeutasPublication . Almeida, João Miguel Serra de; Pires, António Augusto PazoEnquadramento: A supervisão tem vindo a ser um tema estudado ao longo dos anos. Um dos temas que têm vindo a ser contemplados pela investigação tem sido a relação supervisão. Por outro lado, a investigação empírica na população de psicoterapeutas tende a escassear. Objectivo: fazer uma definição sistemática tendo em conta a definição do conceito relação em supervisão em supervisão mediante revisão de Literatura efectuada sobre o tema, bem como, efectuar um levantamento de estudos (i.e., investigação empírica ora quantitativa, ora qualitativa) onde se inclua a relação em supervisão, ora em população de psicoterapeutas, ora em população de psicólogos. Método: A pesquisa foi realizada em bases de dados eletrónicas (PsycInfo, PsycArticles, PEP, B-On, S-Cielo, Repositório e Catálogo bibliográfico do ISPA) com as palavras-chave therap or psychoanalys* or counseling or psychotherap* and “Supervis* e Review or meta-review onde se obtiveram 80 resultados. Resultados: Os estudos recolhidos consideram-se predominantemente sobre revisões teóricas, bem como, se aparenta a escassez de estudos empíricos que contemplem a relação. Conclusões: a relação tem vindo a ser estudada pelos modelos da aliança de trabalho, modelo relação real, teoria dos factores comuns, modelo SAS e o modelo empírico das dimensões relacionais. O modelo das dimensões relacionais possui carácter emergente e generalizado aos modelos existentes.
- Not in wilderness: African vulture strongholds remain in areas with high human densityPublication . Henriques, Mohamed; Granadeiro, José Pedro; Monteiro, Hamilton; Nuno, Ana; Lecoq, Miguel; Cardoso, Paulo Eduardo; Regalla, Aissa Said; Catry, PauloVultures constitute an important functional group in many ecosystems, providing crucial ecosystem services both in natural and humanized environments. These scavengers are facing massive declines worldwide, but in several African countries virtually nothing is known on populations' status and threats, hampering the development of adequate conservation strategies. In Guinea-Bissau, globally important populations of Hooded Necrosyrtes monachus and African white-backed vultures Gyps africanus were recently reported. Using the country as a study area, we aim to characterize human-vulture interactions in West Africa applying a multidisciplinary approach. We assessed the status and distribution of vulture populations using data from 1711 km of roadside transects, examined predictors of their distribution, and produced a nationwide population estimate for the Hooded Vulture, using an innovative method based on the relationship between the size of human population in settlements and vulture numbers. We conducted 47 stakeholder interviews to assess perceived roles played by vultures, and to investigate potential anthropogenic threats. Hooded vultures were strongly associated with high human population densities, whereas no relation was found between African white-backed and Rüppell's vultures and any of the tested predictors, which included cattle density, precipitation and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, among others. We estimate a national population of 43347 Hooded vultures, the largest population reported in the species range. Respondents were generally aware of the services provided by vultures, especially waste and carcass removal, including in urban areas. Hunting for witchcraft and traditional medicine was the most frequently recognised threat, while poisoning was ranked as having the highest impact. We hypothesise that poisoning-related mortality may be affecting African white-backed and Rüppell's vultures' distribution and explain their scarcity in apparently highly suitable habitats. Our results suggest a mutualistic rather than a commensalistic relationship between vultures and humans, with important implications for designing and implementing conservation strategies.
- The impact of climate change on the ecology and dynamics of change of small pelagic fishPublication . Silva, G.; Faria, Ana Margarida; Vinagre, C.; Ramos, A.; Novais, Sara C.; Lemos, Marco F. L.; Santos, Antonio Manuel; Gonçalves, Emanuel João; Pousão, P.; Garrido, Susana
- Understanding climate change adaptation: the role of citizens’ perceptions and appraisals about extreme weather eventsPublication . Domingos, Samuel; Gaspar, Rui; Maroco, J. P.; Beja, RitaClimate change is driving dramatic environmental changes and posing new demands to citizens, health authorities, and policy makers worldwide. This is due to an increased frequency, intensity, and duration of associated extreme weather events. Recent calls for better understanding of how citizens adapt to such demands and the role that psychological processes’ play in that adaptation, have been put forward. We contributed in this regard by (1) applying the Biopsychosocial Model of Challenge and Threat (e.g. Blascovich 2008) to the study of human responses (psychological, physiological, and behavioural) to extreme weather events; (2) using it as the conceptual basis for a mixed methods study aimed at exploring citizens’ perceptions, beliefs, and appraisals of the demands posed by such events and available resources to cope with them. Preliminary qualitative results are presented and potential implications for stakeholders and policy makers in the climate change domain are discussed. An example of how such conceptual and methodological approaches may contribute to developing evidence-based strategies for incrementing citizens’ resilience and adaptation to climate change, will be provided. This allow a better understanding of citizen appraisals and perceptions’ role in shaping adaptive behaviour, in order to provide them with the necessary personal and social resources to cope with extreme weather events and increment future resilience.
- Network Structure Predicts Changes in Perception Accuracy of Social RelationshipsPublication . Daniel, João Rodrigo; Silva, Rita Rocha da; Santos, Antonio JoséThe goal of this study was to test how changes in perception accuracy of affiliative networks (i.e., the ability to accurately identify who affiliates with whom) are related to an important structural feature of peer groups- the likelihood of children to affiliate with mutual partners (transitivity). Data from three longitudinal samples (two from elementary school children and one from young adolescents; N = 257, 618 observations) show that children and adolescents in classrooms with a higher proportion of transitive relationships are better at perceiving who affiliates with whom, and that increases in transitivity associate with increases in perception accuracy. This is the first study to show that structural features of peer groups relate with individual perceptions of affiliative relationships, providing further evidence that these features have an important role in promoting individual adaptation and supporting previous suggestions that classroom-variables play a role in fostering accurate perceptions of social relationships.
