Psychological Flexibility is an essential concept in Contextual Behavioural Sciences. The development of instruments is vital for its study, and it is an opportunity to reflect on this concept. Among the measures of this construct, Psy-Flex shows promise due to comprehensiveness in assessing the six facets of psychological flexibility and its pragmatic value. In the present study, we sought to translate Psy-Fle...
The COVID-19 pandemic involved a complex set of stressors affecting the health and wellbeing of the population. The understanding of the psychological processes that influence well-being in response to the pandemic and their interrelation is vital. A promising process in understanding the emotional impacts of these stressors is psychological flexibility. This study investigated the effect of psychological flexi...
ABSTRACT: Background Identifying common factors that afect public adherence to COVID-19 containment measures can directly inform the development of ofcial public health communication strategies. The present international longitu‑ dinal study aimed to examine whether prosociality, together with other theoretically derived motivating factors (selfefcacy, perceived susceptibility and severity of COVID-19, perceive...
Com o aparecimento da COVID-19 as pessoas tiveram que lidar e se adaptar à nova realidade tal como aos seus impactos a nível psicológico, em particular o stress. O suporte social percebido e a flexibilidade psicológica são componentes que podem influenciar positivamente o stress provocado pelo contexto da pandemia. Esta investigação foi realizada com uma subamostra portuguesa do estudo COVID-IMPACT (Gloster et ...

The challenge presented by IRIS was to develop a better understanding of agglomeration and transport of cuttings generated during the drilling of an oil well. There is a myriad of challenges involved in the mathematical modelling of this complex process. For this reason, two complementary approaches are combined in this report. First, we derive a one-dimensional fully-developed model based on the Phillips-type ...
