“…The average values of the EC are higher than those of the CG, confirming the validity and importance of these micro-interventions on the organizations. The results obtained show the validity of these micro-interventions as a useful tool for Human Resources in the Portuguese culture and professional environments, as also attested by the studies of Rego et al (2010) and Antunes et al (2017).…”

The flexibility of markets and international agreements have lured a growing number of companies to expand their business beyond frontiers in search for new markets and a bigger business network. Specifically, expatriates became keystones to implant and promote the so desired expansion into international markets, Particularly, Fly-in fly-out (FIFO) flexpatriates. Although FIFO work practices are widely used, little is known about how to promote these professionals’ perceived job satisfaction (JS) across the course of their work cycles. That is why the goal of our research is to test the positive psychological capital (PsyCap) applicability to Portuguese FIFO flexpatriates. In the midst of the positive psychology theories, Luthans et al. (2007b) underline that workers are the psychological capital of any organization. Therefore, the development of the PsyCap becomes crucial and also contributes to the promotion of JS, nowadays a construct intertwined with well-being. As such, we developed and applied a HERO–(hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism)–micro-intervention in order to assess whether it moderated the relationship between a FIFO flexpatriates PsyCap and their JS. The research took place over three distinct moments, both PsyCap and JS were measured before and after the HERO micro-intervention, and again 3 months later. The data collected shows that a positive correlation exists between FIFO flexpatriates PsyCap and JS. Moreover, our results pointed out that the micro-intervention enhanced FIFO flexpatriates PsyCap, and also showed that this increase lasted over (at least) 3 months.

“…Com base na amostra do presente estudo, realizámos uma AFC para cada um dos modelos e obtiveram-se os valores que constam no Tabela 2. Tendo em consideração que se aceita o modelo de Monteiro et al (2019) (ver Figura 2), procedemos ao cálculo da VEM e r 2 para determinar a validade discriminante (VEM > r 2 ) (Marôco, 2021).…”

“…Com o propósito de comparar com outros estudos realizados em Portugal (Ferreira et al, 2018;Monteiro et al, 2019) Quando comparamos os resultados das estruturas fatoriais conhecidas para a população portuguesa, constatamos a possível existência de duas estruturas fatoriais válidas, a de Monteiro et al (2019) e a relativa ao nosso estudo com militares. A comparação entre os três modelos testados evidencia que a estrutura unifatorial que se obteve é a que apresenta melhores indicadores em todos os índices tidos por base no processo de validação.…”

“…Em Portugal foi feita uma validação do PHQ-9 em estudantes universitários (Monteiro et al, 2019) que identificou, uma estrutura de três fatores: somático com 3 itens (3, 4, 5); afetivo com 4 itens (1, 2, 6 e 9); e cognitivo com 2 itens (7 e 8). A validação de Ferreira et al (2018), teve como objetivo validar a estrutura fatorial das características psicométricas do PHQ-9 com duas amostras clínicas distintas, em unidades de cuidados de saúde primários e numa clínica universitária.…”

Este estudo teve como objetivo a validação do Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8) numa amostra de militares, através da análise das propriedades psicométricas, confiabilidade e análise fatorial confirmatória. O questionário é composto por 8 itens que permitem avaliar a sintomatologia depressiva. A amostra foi constituída por 127 militares portugueses com idades compreendidas entre os 21 e os 78 anos. Os resultados revelaram uma boa consistência interna (α=.90) e bons índices de ajustamento (χ 2 /df=1.332, GFI=.956, CFI=.988, RMSEA=.051, SRMR=.30). A validade convergente também se demonstrou boa e a fiabilidade compósita foi .873. Assim, o PHQ-8 revela boas propriedades psicométricas, sendo recomendado para o uso em prática clínica e em investigação com militares portugueses.

“…During the first day, participants completed a demographic questionnaire, along with three self-reported scales: (i) the PHQ-9 for depressive symptomatology [ 29 ] adapted for the Portuguese population [ 30 ], (ii) the GAD-7 for anxious symptomatology [ 31 ] validated in Portuguese [ 32 ] and (iii) the LOCES for loss of control over eating [ 33 ] validated for the Portuguese population [ 34 ]. Participants were also expected to report whether they perceived an increase or decrease in the amount of food intake during the pandemic.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic led to several lifestyle changes, including eating behavior. Herein, we aimed to evaluate how pandemic-related sanitary cues presented in food videos impact food appraisal and desire to eat, and their priming after-effects on subsequent food pictures presented without such cues. In two online sessions, separated by 4 to 7 days, participants watched either a Non-Pandemic or a Pandemic video of a woman eating, the latter containing sanitary elements adopted during the pandemic. The order of the videos was counterbalanced across participants over the two experimental sessions. Videos were followed by images of food from different categories. After observing both videos and each picture, participants were instructed to evaluate the visual aspect, expected smell and flavor, and rate their desire to eat. Our study demonstrated (1) higher hedonic responses to the Non-Pandemic compared to the Pandemic video, (2) a priming effect showing higher appreciation for sweet foods after the Non-Pandemic compared to the Pandemic video, (3) that food exposure gradually increases one’s desire to eat, but such effects are impacted by pandemic sanitary cues, and (4) greater hedonic responses are given for sweet and high-calorie foods compared to salty and low-calorie ones, irrespective of pandemic priming. Finally, depression and anxiety symptoms were associated with lower smell evaluations only in the Pandemic condition.
