When Adolescents with High Self-Concept Lose their Engagement in School // Cuando se pierde la motivación escolar de los adolescentes con mejor autoconcepto
Engagement in school and self-concept are two main constructs to explain the school adjustment. To understand how engagement might change during adolescence, we analyzed early and middle adolescents’ engagement in school (cognitive, affective, behavioural, and personal agency) as a function of their level of self-concept. Participants were 685 adolescents, 296 males (43.2%) and 389 females between 11-17 years old. Among early adolescents, students with high self-concept always reported more cognitive, affective, behavioural, and personal agency engagement than students with low self-concept. However, among middle adolescents, students with high self-concept reported only higher affective an…
Researching Parental Socialization Styles across Three Cultural Contexts: Scale ESPA29 Bi-Dimensional Validity in Spain, Portugal, and Brazil
Recent research that relates parenting with adolescent adjustment has shown the importance of considering the cultural context of the relationship. New results are emerging when considering the classical four-typologies model of parental socialization in some European and South-American countries. Among the instruments used in this emergent research is the Parental Socialization Scale ESPA29. This scale is a bi-dimensional parenting instrument that was specifically developed to measure the four parenting typologies, through the dimensions of acceptance/involvement and strictness/imposition. This study examines the good fit of the orthogonal bi-factor model based on the ESPA29 versus one-dim…
Autoconcepto en adultos de España y Portugal
El objetivo de este trabajo es confirmar la validez pentafactorial del cuestionario AF5 con adultos españoles y portugueses. A partir de las respuestas de un total de 2.058 adultos (1.508 españoles, 73,3%, y 550 portugueses, 26,7%) se analiza la fiabilidad del instrumento, se compara la validez del modelo de cinco factores oblicuos que proponen los autores contra los modelos alternativos unifactorial y ortogonal, y se estudia la invarianza de una traducción portuguesa. Los resultados de los modelos de ecuaciones estructurales ratifican la validez del modelo teórico pentafactorial de los autores. El estudio de la invarianza factorial indica que la versión portuguesa no varía los pesos factor…
Parenting and Adolescents’ Self-esteem: The Portuguese Context // Parentalidad y autoestima en la adolescencia: El contexto portugués
Este estudio analiza las relaciones entre los estilos parentales y el ajuste psicosocial (autoestima) de los adolescentes en la cultura portuguesa. La muestra estuvo formada por 517 adolescentes, 214 varones (41,39%), con edades entre los 11 y los 18 anos. Se uso la Escala de Socializacion Parental (ESPA29) para determinar los estilos parentales (autoritativo, autoritario, indulgente y negligente), y la Escala de Autoestima Multidimensional (AF5) que mide las cinco dimensiones de la autoestima: academica, social, emocional, familiar y fisica. Los resultados de este estudio mostraron que los adolescentes de familias indulgentes puntuaron igual o incluso mejor que los de familias autoritativa…

The Differentiation and Promotion of Students’ Rights in Portugal
This investigation includes a differential study (Study 1) and a quasi-experimental research (Study 2). In Study 1, the objective was to establish to what extent students’ rights existed and analyse the differentiation between students’ rights with Portuguese and immigrant mothers, throughout school years. The sample consisted of 537 students with Portuguese and immigrant mothers, distributed by different school years (7th, 9th and 11th grades). The Children’s Rights Scale (Hart et al., 1996; Veiga, 2001) was used. In Study 2, the purpose was to analyse the effects on students’ rights of the use by teachers of a communicational intervention program, supervised by school psychologists. The s…
