Gonçalves, Mariana; Morgado, Diogo; Sousa, Bárbara; Maia, AngelaThe objective was to translate, adapt, and analyze the psychometric properties of a shortened version of the HIV Stigma Scale using a sample of 100 HIV+ adults, with a mean age of 49.88 (SD = 12.03) diagnosed for an average of 9.39 (SD = 7.36) years. The psychometric properties of the short version of the Stigma Scale were analyzed through the one-factor structure and the original four-factor structure, showing...

In the pres...

Gomes, Hugo S.; Farrington, David P.; Krohn, Marvin D.; Cunha, Ana; Jurdi, Julia; Sousa, Barbara; Morgado, Diogo; Hoft, Joseph; Hartsell, ElizabethObjectives Current knowledge about the causes of offending behavior is heavily reliant on self-reports of offending (SRO). However, methodological research on the impact of modes of administration on SRO is very scarce. Further, the existing evidence conflicts with the general knowledge about responding to sensitive questions. In this study, we aimed to test whether SRO are affected by modes of administration. ...

In the present study, we examined seven alternative DSM-5 PTSD models within a confirmato...
