A memória é uma função psicológica extremamente complexa. Diversos modelos teóricos estão presentes na literatura, os quais, por sua vez, visam explorar e descrever processos de codificação, consolidação e evocação. No entanto, a organização desses modelos ainda é incipiente, o que dificulta o estabelecimento da conexão entre eles. Por conseguinte, este trabalho visa apresentar e conectar tais modelos teóricos, bem como discutir as principais evidências do efeito do contexto interno (estado) e externo sobre a memória.
Since 2020, quarantine and social distance restrictions have been enforced worldwide to reduce the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). These restrictions were mainly supported by the initial lack of effective drugs and vaccines at that time. The implementation of these measures also occurred in Brazil and other countries in Latin America (Ribeiro et al., 2021). Amongst these restrictions, closing schools and entertainment venues, suspending public transport, restricting public gatherings and imposing intermittent lockdowns were implemented.
Although stress assessment is important in different health areas, there are few instruments with adequate psychometric evidence to assess it. The study aimed to present new validity evidence of Lipp’s Inventory of Stress Symptoms for Adults (LSSI), describe and discuss clinical characteristics of the LSSI with data obtained from patients seen in a hospital outpatient clinic and a Psychosocial Care Center (Centro de Atenção Psicossocial - CAPS). Sampling was based on post-stratification via the Raking method. In total, 4,500 participants from all over Brazil of both sexes, different age groups and academic levels composed the study. The results via Item Response Theory indicated a structure with high internal consistency. Symptoms of apathy, depression or prolonged anger were the most associated with stress and women scored higher. There was a significant correlation between the LSSI-R and another mental health measure (DASS-21) in the clinical group.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
