Resumo: Este artigo apresenta o Questionário de Estilos Educativos Parentais revisto (QEEP-r), que oferece uma medida da perceção dos adolescentes quanto aos estilos educativos parentais (tal como a sua primeira versão, o QEEP), mas distinguindo o alvo da avaliação em pai e mãe e focando a dimensão da promoção da autonomia. São estudadas as propriedades psicométricas e avaliada a invariância da escala quanto ao...
Background: The association between the couple relationship and the mothers’ and fathers’ psychological adjustment to the transition to parenthood has been examined in the literature. However, the direction of effects between these variables has not been extensively explored. This study aimed to assess the direction of effects between mothers’ and fathers’ positive and negative interactions and anxiety and depr...
The current study presents the Parenting Behavior Questionnaire revised (QEEP-r), which offers a measure of adolescents’ perceptions of father and mother’s parenting behaviors (as its first version QEEP), however distinguishing the target of the assessment between father and mother and focusing the dimension autonomy support.

Aims: The aims of this study were to analyse the changes in anxiety and depression symptoms from early pregnancy to 30 months postpartum according to gender and parity. Method: 129 couples (N = 258) recruited from an obstetrics unit completed self-report measures of anxiety and depression at each pregnancy trimester, childbirth, 3 and 30 months postpartum. Using multilevel modelling, piecewise dyadic growth cur...
