We are on the road to somewhere: How deliberate practice can enhance the path o...

The first study aimed to evaluate the impact of deliberate practice (DP) training during the 2 and 3 years of a bilingual clinical existential therapy program. The evaluation focused on its influence on facilitative interpersonal skills (FIS), as perceived by 14 participants and assessed by three independent raters. The second study explored the subjective experiences of 12 participants, with particular emphasi...

Development and validation of the facilitative interpersonal skills scale for c...

Objective: Psychotherapy studies have revealed that therapist characteristics are responsible for 5% to 9% of outcome variance. The therapist-facilitative interpersonal skills (FIS) have been shown to predict both alliance and outcomes, indicating that higher FIS therapists are more effective than lower FIS therapists. The current study focused on the development and validation of the FIS-client version (FIS-C)...

A Portuguese version of the student-teacher relationship scale: short form

Research consistently demonstrates that positive student-teacher relationships are fundamental to the healthy development of all students. However, we lack a Portuguese-validated measure of student-teacher relationships. In this article we present the adaptation procedures and the psychometric properties of a Portuguese version of the Student-Teacher Relationship Scale - Short Form (Pianta, 1992). Five hundred ...

Younger generations are increasingly questioning the legitimacy of teachers. However, evidence concerning classroom authority and the many factors that shape it tend to disregard the complexity and dynamics of the relationship between the teacher and the student. This paper aims to contribute to further unfold and understand this topic. Specifically, teachers' legitimacy is examined from the scope of the Relati...

Comparative phylogeography of northwest African Natrix maura (Serpentes: Colubr...

While the comparative phylogeography of European fauna is relatively well understood, with Pleistocene climatic oscillations leading to ‘southern refugia’ for many species, the equivalent pattern has not been determined for North Africa. In this context variation within North African populations of the riverine snake Natrix maura were assessed using mitochondrial DNA sequences. Recent literature regarding North...

Impact of mountain chains, sea straits and peripheral populations on genetic an...

Mauremys leprosa, distributed in Iberia and North-west Africa, contains two major clades of mtDNA haplotypes. Clade A occurs in Portugal, Spain and Morocco north of the Atlas Mountains. Clade B occurs south of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco and north of the Atlas Mountains in eastern Algeria and Tunisia. However, we recorded a single individual containing a clade B haplotype in Morocco from north of the Atlas M...
