Rodrigues, Fabiana; Bártolo, Ana; Sabino, Daniela; Santos, Isabel M.; Pereira, Anabela; Silva, Carlos F.; Boscarino, Joseph A.; Adams, Richard E.This study aimed to adapt the Compassion Fatigue-Short Scale to Portugal and examine the reliability and validity of the Portuguese version of the scale (Pt-CF-Short Scale) among Portuguese firefighters. The factor structure of the Pt-CF-Short Scale was compared to the one-factor model fit and a two-factor model and second-order factor model in a sample of 512 firefighters.

Initial psychological reactions to COVID-19 of middle adolescents in Portugal
Brites, Rute; Paulino, Mauro; Brissos, Sofia; Gabriel, Sofia; Alho, Laura; Simões, Mário R.; Silva, Carlos F.In its early stage, the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent public health measures brought several challenges to people in general, with adolescents being one of the most affected groups. To assess the psychological reactions of Portuguese adolescents in that early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted an online survey that was filled by a sample of 340 (67.6% female and 32.4% male) middle adolescents (...
Morningness–eveningness preferences in Portuguese adolescents: Adaptation and p...
Pandeirada, Josefa N. S.; Marinho, Patrícia I.; Bem-haja, Pedro; Silva, Carlos F.; Ribeiro, Lígia; Fernandes, Natália Lisandra; Rodrigues, Pedro F. S.Throughout development individuals vary in their circadian preferences. One of the most notable changes occurs during adolescence when individuals tend to become progressively more evening-oriented. This is a critical age period to be studied given that eveningness preferences seem to relate with physical, psychological and social problems, whereas the most morning-oriented individuals tend to be protected agai...
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...
Initial psychometric characterization for the Portuguese version of the Morning...
Pandeirada, Josefa; Marinho, Patrícia; Randler, Christoph; Silva, Carlos F.; Rodrigues, Pedro F. S.; Vagos, PaulaThis work reports the initial psychometric characterization of the Morningness-EveningnessStability-Scale improved (MESSi) for Portuguese young-adults (N = 466). A confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a three-factor model (i.e. Morning Affect, Eveningness and Distinctness) in our data, as originally proposed. Furthermore, construct validity evidence in relation to external variables (i.e. morningness/eveningn...
Impact of psychological aggression at the workplace on employees' health: a sys...

L.; Bártolo, Ana; Rodrigues, Fabiana; Pereira, Anabela; Duarte, João C.; Silva, Carlos F.Psychological aggression perpetrated by customers, coworkers, and supervisors is a behavior frequently experienced in the workplace with negative consequences for an individual's health. The aim of this systematic review was to examine the personal outcomes of overt workplace psychological aggression and summarize empirical evidence on how to prevent and reduce its effects. A search on PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest,...
Job stress, burnout and coping in police officers: Relationships and psychometr...
Queirós, Cristina; Passos, Fernando; Bártolo, Ana; Faria, Sara; Fonseca, Sílvia Monteiro; Marques, António; Silva, Carlos F.; Pereira, AnabelaPolicing is a stressful occupation, which impairs police officers’ physical/mental health and elicits burnout, aggressive behaviors and suicide. Resilience and coping facilitate the management of job stress policing, which can be operational or organizational. All these constructs are associated, and they must be assessed by instruments sensitive to policing idiosyncrasies. This study aims to identify operation...

Vagos, Paula; Rodrigues, Pedro F. S.; Pandeirada, Josefa N. S.; Kasaeian, Ali; Weidenauer, Corina; Silva, Carlos F.; Randler, ChristophAssessing morningness-eveningness preferences (chronotype), an individual characteristic that is mirrored in daily mental and physiological fluctuations, is crucial given their overarching influence in a variety of domains. The current work aimed to investigate the best factor structure of an instrument recently presented to asses this characteristic: the Morningness-Eveningness-Stability-Scale improved (MESSi)...
