Do different sources of sexuality education contribute differently to sexual he...
L. Rodrigues, David; Carvalho, A. Catarina; de Visser, Richard O.; Lopes, Diniz; Alvarez, Maria-JoãoSexuality education (SE) can be acquired through different sources.

Prada, Marília; Godinho, Cristina A.; Garrido, Margarida V.; Rodrigues, David L.; Coelho, Inês; Lopes, DinizExcessive sugar intake has been associated with multiple health conditions (e.g., higher risk for non-communicable diseases).

The social image of families of children and youth in residential care: a chara...
Patrício, Joana; Lopes, Diniz; Garrido, M. V.; Calheros, M. M.The literature suggests that families of children and youths in residential care are often associated with negative social images.

They have also become popular as stimulus materials in scientific research.

This article presents subjective norms of emoji and emoticons provid...
Differential impact of independent and interdependent views of the self on the ...
Lopes, Diniz; Vala, Jorge; Oberlé, DominiqueIn this article, we analyse the moderating effect of the activation of independent and interdependent views of the self on the use of heterogeneity and consensus information in the attribution of validity to group decisions. In two experimental studies, we present evidence showing that the participants, when primed with an interdependent view of the self, make no distinction between homogeneous or heterogeneous...

Expressões dos racismos em Portugal
Vala, Jorge; Brito, Rodrigo; Lopes, DinizVários indicadores parecem apontar no sentido de um crescendo da visibilidade da discriminação das minorias «étnicas» e «raciais» na Europa. Quer nos países tradicionalmente receptores de imigrantes, como sejam a França, a Alemanha, a Holanda ou a Inglaterra, quer naqueles que recentemente a eles se juntaram, como a Itália, a Espanha ou Portugal, os comportamentos e acções discriminatórios, sejam individuais, c...
