“…De fato, ao verificar as médias de escores da amostra de atletas, percebe-se que elas não diferem fortemente da população geral. Por exemplo, os atletas reportaram notoriamente mais sentimentos positivos do que negativos, o que é uma tendência que pode ser observada em outros estudos sobre afeto que foram realizados na população geral brasileira (Segabinazi et al, 2012;Zanon, Bastianello, Pacico, & Hutz, 2013). Tal evidência não demonstra que os resultados desse estudo podem ser generalizados para toda a população, mas futuros estudos com outras amostras podem considerar, como ponto de partida, as evidências de validade de construto descobertas neste estudo.…”

RESUMOO afeto é um estado de prazer ou desprazer com diferentes graus de ativação e é constantemente vivenciado pelas pessoas. Objetivou-se com este estudo buscar evidências de validade e precisão de um instrumento de medida para avaliação de afeto em uma amostra de atletas. ABSTRACT -Core affect and the circumplex approach: Evidence for construct validity Core affect is a feeling of pleasure or displeasure that varies in terms of activation, and it is constantly experienced by people. The aim of this study was to verify the validity and reliability evidence of a measurement instrument to assess core affect in a population of athletes. The sample was composed of 330 athletes (87.6% are male), with a mean age of 21.8 years (SD=5.36). The measurement instrument used for data collection included 26 pairs of adjectives based on a circumplex representing a possible model for core affect. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and Cronbach's alpha. Moreover, partial validity evidence was found for a 3-factor solution. In conclusion, further studies are recommended to search for evidence of validity and precision regarding core affect in the Brazilian population. Keywords: core affect; psychometrics; sport psychology.RESUMEN -El afecto bajo la perspectiva del circumplejo: evidencia de la validez del constructo El afecto es un estado de placer o desplacer con grados variables de activación y se experimenta constantemente en la vida de las personas. El objetivo de este estudio fue buscar evidencia de la validez y exactitud de un instrumento de medida para evaluación de afecto en una muestra de atletas. La muestra fue de 330 atletas (87,6 % varones) con una edad promedio de 21,8 años (DE=5,36). El instrumento de medición utilizado para la recolección de datos tuvo 26 pares de adjetivos que se basaban en un circumplejo que es un posible modelo de afecto. El análisis de datos se realizó mediante procedimientos tales como estadística descriptiva, análisis factorial y el cálculo de alfa de Cronbach. Se encontraron evidencias de validez parciales para el instrumento de medida con tres factores. Se sugiere que se realicen nuevas investigaciones para buscar evidencias de la validez y exactitud sobre el afecto en el contexto brasileño.

“…Two months before the fire, data on subjective wellbeing (Zanon et al 2013;Zanon et al 2014) and personality (Nunes et al 2010) were collected in two local universities as part of a project about academic adaptation in university students. Five months after the disaster, a second wave of measures about rumination (Nolen-Hoeksema and Morrow 1991), anxiety (Spitzer et al 2006)), and post-traumatic stress (Bringhenti et al 2010) was collected.…”

The present longitudinal study tested hypotheses about the relationship of subjective well-being and neuroticism with rumination, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress in university students after a large scale disaster. Measures of subjective well-being and personality were obtained two months before the 2013 Santa Maria's fire. Measures of rumination, PTSD and anxiety were collected five months after the disaster with the same students. The results provide evidence that life satisfaction correlated negatively with rumination, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. Positive affect presented similar but slightly smaller negative correlations with these variables, while negative affect presented higher correlations with rumination, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. These findings provide evidence that subjective well-being components may constitute important predictors of psychopathological symptomatology after a disaster and may be helpful to plan clinical interventions.

Meditation has been associated with positive psychological outcomes, but few studies have investigated brief interventions. This randomized controlled pilot study assessed the effects of five days of focused meditation on positive and negative affect, state and trait anxiety, as well as concentrated attention in a nonclinical sample distributed in two groups (experimental = 14, 51.8% female, M age = 23.9; control = 19, 62% female, M age = 24.9). The instruments used were the Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale, State and Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Concentrated Attention Test. The meditation group reduced negative affect and trait anxiety, and also improved correct responses on the attention test, relative to controls. These preliminary findings indicate that even short focused meditation training may help improve some psychological variables. It is discussed that the early manifestation of these benefits may be especially relevant to strengthen the motivation to continue and practice regularly. Keywords Efectos de un Breve Entrenamiento de la Meditación en el Afecto Negativo, la Ansiedad Rasgo y la Atención ConcentradaResumen: La meditación se ha relacionado con resultados psicológicos positivos, todavía intervenciones breves son poco investigadas. Este ensayo piloto controlado yaleatorio evaluó el efecto de cinco días de la meditación focalizada en el afecto positivo y negativo, en el ansiedad estado y rasgo, así como en la atención concentrada en una muestra no clínica distribuida en dos grupos (experimental = 14, 51,8% mujeres, M edad = 23,9, control = 19,62% mujeres, M edad = 24,9). Se utilizó la Escala de Afecto Positivo y Afecto Negativo, el Inventario de Ansiedad Rasgo y Estado, y la prueba de Atención Concentrada. La meditación ha reducido el afecto negativo y el ansiedad rasgo, así como ha aumenta do las respuestas correctas de la prueba de atención concentrada, en comparación con los controles. Estos hallazgos preliminares indican que incluso un breve entrenamiento con la meditación focalizada puede ayudar a mejorar algunas variables psicológicas. Se argumenta que la manifestación temprana de estos beneficios puede ser espe-cialmente relevante como una manera de fortalecer la motivación para práctica regular.
