This study investigated relationships between self-compassion, self-efficacy, and self-esteem, as well as age and sex differences and other sociodemographic variables in relation to self-compassion. Four-hundred and thirty-two Brazilian adults (50% women) from nearly all country states participated in the study filling out a sociodemographic survey and three scales: self-compassion, self-efficacy, and self-esteem. Comparisons of means between self-compassion and pairs of groups designed by sociodemographic data showed higher self-compassion in men, people aged from 31 to 66 years-old, not under psychiatric medication, without a job, and with children. Results also showed that self-compassion is highly correlated with self-esteem and self-efficacy. We highlight that results are sample dependent and further studies on self-compassion need to be conducted in Brazil. Autocompaixão e Suas Relações com Autoestima, Autoeficácia e Aspectos SociodemográficosResumo: O presente estudo teve por objetivo investigar as relações entre autocompaixão, autoestima e autoeficácia e diferenças de sexo, idade e de outras variáveis sociodemográficas na autocompaixão. Participaram 432 adultos (50% mulheres), de 24 estados brasileiros, preenchendo dados sociodemográficos e um conjunto de três escalas: autocompaixão, autoestima e autoeficácia. Comparações de médias da autocompaixão por grupos compostos a partir dos dados sociodemográficos permitiram observar maior autocompaixão em: homens, com idade entre 31 e 66 anos, sem uso de medicação psiquiátrica, sem atividade remunerada e com filhos. Os resultados também mostraram que autocompaixão apresenta correlações elevadas com autoeficácia e autoestima. Salienta-se que os resultados são atinentes a esta amostra e que mais estudos precisam ser conduzidos no Brasil sobre autocompaixão. Palavras-chave: autocompaixão, autoestima, autoeficácia Autocompasión y Sus Relaciones con Autoestima, Autoeficacia y Aspectos SociodemográficosResumen: El presente trabajo investigó las relaciones entre autocompasión, autoestima y autoeficacia y las diferencias entre sexo, edad y otras variables sociodemográficas en la autocompasión. Participaron 432 adultos (50% mujeres) de 24 Estados brasileños, llenando datos sociodemográficos y un conjunto de tres escalas: autocompasión, autoestima y autoeficacia. Comparaciones de promedios de la autocompasión en grupos compuestos a partir de los datos sociodemográficos, permitieron observar mayor autocompasión en: hombres con edad entre 31 y 66 años, sin uso de medicamento psiquiátrico, sin actividad remunerada y con hijos. Los resultados también mostraron que autocompasión presenta correlaciones elevadas con autoeficacia y autoestima. Se resalta que los resultados son relacionados con esta muestra y que más estudios necesitan ser conducidos en Brasil, con respecto a la autocompasión.

“…Several versions of the FFMQ have been validated for use in a large number of populations. In addition, it has been validated for use with meditators and nonmeditators and with individuals suffering from a wide range of clinical psychological and medical conditions (Adam, Heeren, Day, & de Sutter, 2014;Barros, Kozasa, Souza, & Ronzani, 2014;Cebolla et al 2012;Christopher, Neuser, Michael, & Baitmangalkar, 2012;de Bruin, Topper, Muskens, Bögels, & Kamphuis, 2012;Deng, Liu, Rodriguez, & Xia, 2011).…”

Several theories exist that aim to identify the factors which increase the risk of STEM attrition. Several models and research frameworks aim to address student perceptions of STEM at the high-school level, develop STEM education curricula that include real-life research opportunities and everyday application, foster positive academic habit formation, improve emotional intelligence (EI), address lack of belonging in the culture of a field of study, improve growth mind-set, shift students' time perspective (TP), provide students with a higher sense of purpose, aid students in managing test anxiety, mitigate self-handicapping behaviors, and provide academic support in a welcoming environment, among others (Bybee, 2010;Rattan, Good, & Dweck, 2012). Moreover, early research in psychology and more recent longitudinal studies have indicated that within the scope of 704686S GOXXX10.

“…In Brazil, there are only two validated instruments to measure and assess the level of mindfulness, the Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale (Silveira, Castro & Gomes, 2012), and the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (Barros, Kozasa, Souza & Ronzani, 2014). However, the fi rst scale was adapted among people with high levels of schooling, which differs from the reality of the Brazilian population, and the second measures mindfulness in a multidimensional way.…”

Mindfulness is a skill that allows the practitioner to expand an existing space between stimulus and response, so he/she may make more conscious choices which in turn prevents the perpetuation of dysfunctional patterns of behaviors, contributing to the improvement of his/her well-being. The goal of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) in a sample with 395 participants divided into smokers, people from the general population, college students and meditators. They answered the MAAS and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS). An exploratory factor analysis was conducted to test the factor structure of the MAAS. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability and split half were respectively assessed with Cronbach's α and correlation coeffi cients. Construct validity was examined by correlating the MAAS with psychological well-being. Criterion validity was assessed by comparing the meditators' scores on the MAAS with the scores of other participants. After the exploratory factor analysis, the Brazilian MAAS remained a unidimensional scale. Reliability [α = .83; split half = .67 and test-retest = .80 (p < .001)] and validity measures were adequate, except the criterion validity which was not confi rmed in the mentioned sample. Keywords: Mindfulness, MAAS, psychometry. ResumoMindfulness é uma habilidade que permite ao praticante a ampliação de um espaço existente entre um estímulo e a resposta, podendo o mesmo fazer escolhas mais conscientes e impedindo a perpetuação de padrões de comportamentos disfuncionais, contribuindo para a melhora de seu bem estar. Este estudo objetivou avaliar as propriedades psicométricas da versão brasileira da Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). Participaram deste estudo 395 pessoas, divididos entre fumantes, comunidade geral, universitários e meditadores. Foi realizada análise fatorial exploratória para testar a estrutura fatorial da MAAS. A consistência interna foi testada através do alfa de Cronbach, além do teste-reteste e do método das metades, avaliados através de correlação. A validade de construto foi avaliada através da correlação entre a Escala de Bem Estar Subjetivo (EBES) e a MAAS. A validade de critério foi avaliada através da comparação dos escores dos meditadores e dos demais participantes na MAAS. Após a análise fatorial exploratória, a MAAS manteve-se uma escala unidimensional. As medidas de confi abilidade [α = 0,83; split half = 0,67 e teste reteste = 0,80 (p < 0,001)] e validade foram satisfatórias, exceto a validade de critério, não confi rmada nesta amostra. Palavras-chave: Atenção plena, consciência plena, MAAS, Psicometria.
