Stupurienė, Gabrielė; Lucas, Margarida; Bem-Haja, PedroA growing trend of integrating and teaching Informatics and Computational Thinking (CT) skills at primary education levels poses different challenges for teachers. Research demonstrates that it is challenging to introduce Informatics in schools without well-prepared teachers. In this paper, we examine Lithuanian teachers' perceptions of the barriers and drivers to integrate the renewed Informatics curricula in ...

FamFac - A Database of Famous Faces for Psychology Experiments
Monteiro, Fábio; Rodrigues, Paulo; Santos, Isabel M.; Bem-Haja, Pedro; Rosa, Pedro J.High variation in the low-level proprieties of visual stimuli and varying degrees of familiarity with famous faces may have caused a bias in the results of investigations that tried to disentangle the processes involved in familiar and unfamiliar face processing (e.g., temporal differences in the detection of the first event-related potentials specialized in face processing may have been caused by different method...

Pires, Joana Ricardo; Sá-Couto, Pedro; Bem-Haja, Pedro; Ramos, MarcoBackground/Objective: Over the last few years, new statistical techniques have been developed in the context of multivariate analysis, which are proving to be very useful in the social or health sciences, even marketing. The aim of this work was to study the interplay between 3 scales: BriefCOPE for evaluating coping strategies; COPSOQII for assessing psychosocial factors; and WAI for assessing work ability. Me...

Chronotype and Time of Day Effects on a Famous Face Recognition Task with Dynam...
Bem-Haja, Pedro; Silva, André; Rosa, Catarina; Queiroz, Diâner F.; Barroso, Talles; Cerri, Luíza; Alves, Miguel F.; Silva, Carlos F.; Santos, Isabel M.Chronotype and Time of Day (ToD) can modulate several aspects of cognitive performance. However, there is limited evidence about the effect of these variables on face recognition performance, so the aim of the present study is to investigate this influence. For this, 274 participants (82.5% females; age 18-49 years old, mean = 27.2, SD = 1.82) were shown 20 short videoclips, each gradually morphing from a gener...
The trait anxiety scale for children: A validation study for European Portugues...
Pandeirada, Josefa N. S.; Bem-Haja, Pedro; França, Joana; Rodrigues, Pedro F. S.The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children is a self-report instrument inspired on the State-Trait theory extended by Spielberger that measures a momentary state of anxiety (state) and a stable tendency to experience anxiety (trait). This study presents an exploratory adaptation of the Trait Scale and provides its psychometric properties for European Portuguese children and adolescents. The influence of sex...
Assessing circadian preferences in Portuguese adolescents: development and prel...
Pandeirada, Josefa N. S.; Bem-Haja, Pedro; Marinho, Patrícia I.; Fernandes, Natália Lisandra; Ribeiro, Lígia; Silva, Carlos F.; Rodrigues, Pedro F. S.Our work aimed to provide a validated reduced form of the Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire to Portuguese adolescents (ages: 12–14 years). Using the dataset from the initial validation study of the full questionnaire (19 items) to Portuguese adolescents, we derived a 10-item reduced form – aMEQ-R (Phase 1); this was the smallest set of items that allowed us to obtain acceptable internal consistency. This re...
Assessing state-anxiety in european portuguese children and adolescents: adapta...
Pandeirada, Josefa N. S.; Bem-Haja, Pedro; França, Joana; Rodrigues, Pedro F. S.We present an initial validation of the State Anxiety Scale for Children for Portuguese children and adolescents. No significant differences were found between sexes and among school cycle groups. The data revealed good psychometric properties and the ‘anxiety-absent’ and ‘anxiety-present’ factors were confirmed. Potential applications of the instrument are presented.

This article aims to present the preliminary validation studies for the Portuguese middle version of COPSOQ III. This is an exploratory cross-sectional study viewing the cross-cultural adaption of COPSOQ...
