Two studies with university students were conducted with the objective of adapting to the Brazilian context the Rape Causes Perception Scale (RCPS), gathering evidence of its factorial and convergent validities and reliability. Study 1 had 220 people with a mean age of 23.5 years old (SD = 7.56; ranged from 18 to 63 years) (64.5% female), while in Study 2 participants were 203 individuals with a mean age 21.4 years old (SD = 5.17; ranged from 18 to 51 years) (54.2% female), all having answered demographic questions, the RCPS and a measure of negative attitudes towards rape victims. The analyzes corroborated its theoretical structure of five components, presenting reliability coefficients ranging from 0.70 to 0.92. In addition, a positive correlation between RCPS and negative attitudes towards victims was observed (convergent validity). In conclusion, this scale showed evidence of factorial and convergent validity, as well as reliability, supporting its use in future studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective was to know the relationship between smartphone dependence, stress, and subjective well-being (BES), in addition to verifying whether dependence could explain these variables. To this end, there was a sample of 250 university students (M = 24.45 years; SD = 14.65), who answered the Smartphone Dependence Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Subjective Wellbeing Scale, and sociodemographic issues. The results showed significant relationships between smartphone dependence and BES dimensions. Specifically, a positive correlation with negative affects (r = 0.35; p < .01) and negative correlations with positive affects (r = -0.33; p < .01) and life satisfaction (r = - 0.33; p < .01). In relation to stress, dependence was positively related (r = 0.48; p < 0.01). It was also observed that this variable explained negatively the positive affects (β = -0.33; p < .001) and satisfaction with life (β = -0.33; p < .001), in addition to positively predicting the negative affects (β = 0.35; p < .001). About stress, it was found that dependence also predicted it (β = 0.48; p < .001). The discussion focuses on the psychosocial impacts of nomophobia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
