This report aimed to discuss the process assessment in vocational and career guidance through a synthesis of research about the topic in an international and national context. A search for scientific reports indexed in the periodic sites Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Periódicos Eletrônicos de Psicologia (PePSIC) was performed and the period from 2011 to 2015 for foreign papers was delimitated. No time limit for national papers was set. Among the articles found, six national and seven international papers were chosen; and the analysis was performed through categories according to the focus of the assessment used. Results showed that process assessment in vocational and career guidance has not been a common practice among instructors, and there is not consensus in this area about how to iniciate it. Despite the limitations, there are possibilities to perform assessments that contribute to the improvement of vocational guidance and career practices, which offer more efficient services and encourage growth in this scientific area.

Drawing is a form of expression that goes far beyond pencil and paper. Many artifacts and materials have been used by man over time to record our history. By means of a bibliographical study, the aim of this work was to present a new theory about childish drawing called the Dynamic and Aesthetic Perspective. This perspective divides the development of childish drawing into stages, in the same way as the classical theories, however, differs from them when it proposes that the expression of emotional states through the child's scribble is already possible at around 2-3 years of age, in the phase called expressive scribbling. The scribble is more than the gesture's consequence; it is not motivated solely by motor pleasure and seems to be able to express emotional states. The Dynamic and Aesthetic Perspective functionally integrates biological, psychological, and social aspects into the description of a fluid process in the evolution of the drawing.

This study aimed to carry out an integrative review on anxiety in children and adolescents using the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) database from the last 13 years. The keywords used were anxiety (in/and) adolescents in Portuguese and English. Only original research papers were included in the study, and those excluded did not deal with the topic, were review articles, or were repeated, so that the study was restricted to 36 articles. The results revealed little emphasis on the psychometric properties of the instruments; the female sex, adolescence and schooling at an elementary level are the risk groups most studied, representing more than half of the studies carried out in Brazil. The most cited constructs associated with anxiety were depression and psychological variables, such as worry and self esteem. Of the five most cited instruments, all were developed outside the country and their psychometric data are reported. New studies on the psychometric properties of the most used instruments are needed, as well as the possibility of creating new instruments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper revisits the classic texts in psychometrics and presents the mathematical foundations of the classical test theory. It discusses the mathematical model of factor analysis, the classical linear model, the derivation of the reliability and types of calculation of the reliability coefficient, the standard error of measurement, the integration of validity with factor analysis and, finally, item analysis procedures. The text concerns those who want to deepen their knowledge in the concepts of psychometrics, understanding the origin of the main formulas that we use when doing psychometric analysis of tests and scales.

Intelligence has received great attention from psychologist researchers since the begging of Psychology as a scientific field. Raven Advanced Progressive Matrix is an intelligence test widely used over the world (Raven APM). This paper aimed at verifying validity evidences from Raven APM with Abstract Reasoning Test from Bateria de Provas de Raciocínio. Data collection was conducted with 162 university students from a public university in the south of Brazil, mean aged 23.4 years old, mostly women. Both tests were analyzed with Rasch model and their association was verified through their correlation index. There was a moderate significant correlation, suggesting good validity evidences for Raven APM. Results were discussed considering some psychometric properties of the tests and the association level that was observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to test four hypothesis which predicted that: (I) the Escala de Características de Leitura -- a tool used for teachers' nominations of reading giftedness and talent (G&T) -- is unidimensional, (ii) showhigh positive item-total correlations, (iii) has high reliability and (iv) is positively correlated, but not strongly, with reading single words and text comprehension, elementary school students were assessed with this measure by their teachers (N = 19). The 528 students also had their performance in reading single words measured by the Teste de Desempenho Escolar one-to-one. The Cloze Test was applied in small groups of students and measured the text comprehension. The four hypothesis, albeit limited, have been corroborated. The limitations of the current study, the relevance of the identification of reading G&T and, consequently, the imperative to meet the special educational needs of these readers are also considered in this paper.

This paper aimed at analyzing relationships between interests, measured by "Escala de Aconselhamento Profissional" and personality traits, assessed by "Bateria Fatorial de Personalidade". 298 students from the three grades of high school took part on this study, 56,7% were women and mean age was 16,6. In general, there were correlations of small magnitude, and many of them were non-significant. Neuroticism was the factor that was least related to interests. Extroversion and Openness allowed wider interpretations, once they were significantly related to many interest areas. Agreeableness and Conscientiousness related to more specific interest areas. Data are discusses in terms of possible interpretations guided by the conjoint analysis of these constructs, especially considering psychologists who work with adolescents in Vocational Guidance.

The goal of this paper is to describe the adaptation of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT) for the Portuguese population, taking into account linguistic and cultural adequacy criteria. The FCSRT involves a new paradigm of memory assessment, using selective reminding with semantic cueing. This allows for an assessment of memory that is independent of normal age-related changes in cognition. Therefore, the FCSRT has shown to be useful for memory characterization in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The International Working Group on Alzheimer's Disease (2007) has suggested new diagnostic criteria for AD. The main criterion is evidence for a significant and progressive episodic memory impairment confirmed by objective testing. The authors suggest the FCSRT to assess memory, since it showed high sensitivity and specificity in the differentiation of AD patients from healthy controls and from other dementias.

This paper discusses two case studies that aimed to describe the personality of a teenager who committed theft and a teenager who committed a murder. At the time of psychological assessment met both educational measures hospitalization. Were used as instruments to collect data a semi-structured interview, the Raven Progressive Matrices Test and the Rorschach method (Comprehensive System). The teenager who committed theft revealed signs of anxiety, feelings of guilt and remorse, and other features that facilitate their engagement in a therapeutic process. Already the teenager who committed murder showed traces of affective constriction, anxiety and lack of remorse. This study has given various psychological disorders in the participants, as well as the need for psychological services more relevant to the particular demands of each, especially for socio-learners who have some mental disorder and end isolated from any specific treatment or care.

This paper aims to contribute on the discussion about the scientific status of projective techniques. Validity studies are indispensable, since they are the foundations that give legitimacy to the interpretations. Although the validity investigations are very important, the literature brings very few studies considering the Zulliger according to the Comprehensive System. The objective of this research is to verify if the Constellations of the Rorschach - Comprehensive System can be useful and applied to the Zulliger. The study included 46 psychiatric patients and ninety-five non-patients. The comparison between the means of the indicators that compose the Constellations in each group was carried out by Student t statistics test in order to verify whether they can contribute to a diagnosis through the Zulliger. The results were partly positive for schizophrenia and depression, but not for obsessive compulsive disorder, which showed no significant differences when compared with the group of non-patients.

Metalinguistic abilities can be defined as the intentional manipulation of language. In recent years much interest has been devoted to creating metalinguistic awareness assessment instruments because of its causal link to literacy acquisition. However, the construction of these instruments is not an easy task and it is not without controversy. The goal of this paper is to present an overview of the conceptual and methodological issues that need to be considered when creating such instruments for assessing metalinguistic abilities, we will mainly focus on the definition of metalinguistic skill, the language units assessed and adaptations of tasks from different languages to Portuguese.

The main purpose of this paper was to verify evidence of validity and reliability of the Unjust World Scale (UWS), evaluating its factorial validity, convergent and Cronbach's alpha reliability. We counted on the volunteer participation of 254 young students from a private university in the state of Sergipe, Brasil. These students answered the UWS, General Beliefs in the Just World Scale (GeJWS) and the Global Beliefs in the Just World Scale (GJWS). Through factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, the main results confirm the factor structure of UWS, correlations with the GeJWS and GJWS and a satisfactory reliability. We concluded that the UWS is a valid and reliability measure and can be used in other studies in this context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
