Abstract Fatalism has been a core construct in the study of psychological and social processes related to well-being and life quality in social sciences. The objective of the present research is to develop a new instrument, the Social Fatalism Scales (SFS), which allows us to study t...

Post-traumatic cognitions and quality of life in terrorism victims: the role of well-being in indirect versus direct exposure

“…Thus, we predict that well-being mediates the relationship between post-traumatic dysfunctional cognitions and DTS. More specifically, we expect that PWB (an individual well-being construct [ 35 ] mediates the relationship between NCS and DTS, and that SoWB (a macrosocial well-being construct [ 23 ]) mediates the relationship between NCW and DTS.…”

“…This instrument consists of five scales (social integration, social acceptance, social contribution, social actualization and social coherence), which in previous studies have shown good internal consistency [ 23 ]. The proposed five-dimensional structure with a second order general factor has been tested using confirmatory factor analysis with Spanish samples [ 35 ]. In the present study we computed only the sum of all items as a global indicator of social well-being (Cronbach’s α = .90; M = 4.56; SD = .94).…”

“…Martín-Baró (1998) apontou a necessidade de entender o fatalismo como um fenômeno psicossocial, que está associado às "... condições econômicas, políticas e culturais de cada sistema social" (p. 82). A percepção da incerteza, a submissão, o pessimismo (Blanco & Díaz, 2007;Díaz, Blanco, Bajo, & Stavraki, 2015;Martín-Baró, 1998;Vallejo Martín et al, 2017), típicos do fatalismo, não se apresentam de modo absoluto ao longo do tempo. Contrariamente, sofrem influências dos modos de organização da sociedade, dos processos de exclusão social e desigualdade que se perpetuam e se agravam ao longo do tempo.…”

“…Esparza, Wiebe, e Quiñones (2015) identificaram que, nos últimos 30 anos, tem ocorrido um crescente interesse sobre o construto fatalismo no interior das investigações sobre psicologia da saúde e psicologia da personalidade. Isto se deve, em grande parte, a associação identificada entre fatalismo e comportamentos de saúde (Cohn & Esparza del Villar, 2015) e fatalismo e satisfação com a vida (Díaz et al, 2015). Pode-se dizer que a interferência das crenças fatalistas sobre a saúde e a percepção de bem estar se dá em duas grandes vias, que estão entrelaçadas.…”

“…Pode-se dizer que a interferência das crenças fatalistas sobre a saúde e a percepção de bem estar se dá em duas grandes vias, que estão entrelaçadas. A primeira dispõe sobre o contexto do qual aflora o fatalismo, pois as próprias condições sociais a ele relacionadas, tais como a marginalização social, o isolamento, a pobreza e a exclusão, provocam sentimentos negativos que afetam a saúde dos sujeitos (Díaz et al, 2015) e se apresentam como determinantes sociais que aumentam a incidência adoecimentos ao prejudicarem o uso e a qualidade do acesso aos serviços de saúde para ações assistenciais e preventivas (Barata, 2009).…”
