- Efeitos de mediação do comportamento na relação entre a personalidade e o rendimento académicoPublication . Teques, Pedro; Silva, Carlos Manuel MarquesO propósito do presente estudo foi avaliar a capacidade do Modelo dos Cinco Fatores de personalidade para predizer o rendimento académico de alunos da Escola Superior de Desporto de Rio Maior – Instituto Politécnico de Santarém. Os resultados demonstraram que a conscienciosidade é um fator preditor do rendimento académico. Foi ainda aplicado um modelo de mediação e os resultados demonstraram que o comportamento de assiduidade é o principal preditor do rendimento académico e medeia totalmente a relação entre a conscienciosidade e o rendimento académico. As implicações dos resultados foram discutidas e apresentadas algumas recomendações para a prática de intervenção.- The purpose of this study was to assess the Five Factor Model of personality for predicting academic performance of students in the port Science School of Rio Maior - Polytechnic Institute of Santarém. The results showed that conscientiousness is a predictor of academic performance. It was also applied a model of mediation and the results showed that the behavior of attendance is the main predictor of academic performance and fully mediates the relationship between conscientiousness and academic performance. The implications of the results were discussed and some recommendations for practice intervention.
- Estudo do impacto do programa de reabilitação e estratégias de coping utilizadas em função da modalidade e géneroPublication . Silva, Mariana; Silva, Carlos Manuel Marques; Borrego, C. ou Chicau Borrego, C.; Teques, Pedro; Gonzaga, LuísO objetivo do estudo, foi perceber se existiam diferenças na perceção da lesão desportiva (SIRBS), relativamente à sua recuperação, em função do género e da modalidade. Para além deste ponto tentamos perceber se as estratégias de coping (Brief-Cope) utilizadas para lidar com a recuperação da lesão desportiva diferiam em função do género e da modalidade.
- Perceptions of Parenting Practices and Psychological Variables of Elite and Sub-Elite Youth AthletesPublication . Teques, Pedro; Calmeiro, Luis; Rosado, António; Silva, Carlos Manuel Marques; Serpa, SidónioDrawing from the model of parental involvement in sport, the overall purpose was to examine the associations of perceptions of parenting practices (encouragement, reinforcement, instruction, and role modeling) and athletes’ psychological variables (self-efficacy, social self-efficacy, self-regulation, and intrinsic motivation) of elite and sub-elite youth athletes. Participants were elite (n = 210) and sub-elite (n = 635) athletes aged between 14 and 18 years (Mage = 16.58, SD = 1.33). Structural equation modeling analysis revealed that young elite athletes’ perceptions of sport-related parenting practices are associated with their psychological skills and performance level in sport. Specifically, in comparison with their sub-elite peers, perceptions of parental encouragement had a significantly different strong effect on intrinsic motivation. Moreover, perceptions of parental modeling revealed different effects on performance level, as well as on intrinsic motivation, and self-regulation. These perceptions of parenting practices may promote a positive learning environment, resulting in an increased likelihood of achieving a high level of sport performance in comparison with their sub-elite peers.
- Teamwork: A Systematic Review of Implications From Psychosocial Constructs for Research and Practice in the Performance of Ultimate Frisbee GamesPublication . Amoroso, José; Rebelo Gonçalves, Ricardo; Antunes, Raul; Coakley, Jay; Teques, Pedro; Valente-dos-Santos, João; Furtado, Guilherme EustáquioIntroduction: Ultimate Frisbee (UF) is a non-contact, challenging, and self-promoted team sport. Some factors such as the game environment and rules seem to influence athletes' behavior. Goals: Provide a robust systematic review (SR) of the psychological domains associated with UF. Methods: A SR according to Cochrane guidelines was completed. A reproducible search strategy was conducted by two independent reviewers in thirteen online databases: the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, SCOPUS, B-On, SportDiscus, Scielo; APA PsycINFO, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences; Academic Search Complete; Medline (PubMed); ERIC; Google Scholar; Open Acess Thesis and Dissertations. The search occurred from 1st to 30th June 2020, and there were no limitations regarding the year of publication. Original papers that contained relevant data regarding psychological domains in the context of UF in English, Portuguese and Spanish were selected. The combination of the main terms "ultimate frisbee" and "sport psychology" was used in all databases. A total of 464 studies were identified and selected in the last phase of selection. After the Screening (n = 301) and Eligibility (n = 71) phases, a total of 30 potential papers were selected and classified. Finally, only four papers were qualified to be included in the final version of SR. Results: The psychological dimensions revealed in the present study were: leadership; basic psychological needs; behaviors; task cohesion and performance; intrateam communication; performance-avoidance goals; friendship goals; sportsmanship associated with goal-directed self-talk and self-regulated learning. Discussion: To our knowledge, this is the first SR about UF. In reviewing all the findings in the studies, there is evidence that UF can promote teamwork, task cohesion, leadership, and increase friendship-approach goals. Conclusion: The results revealed that group goals and promoting teamwork significantly predicted social cohesion and that teamwork and task cohesion was mediated by communication. UF is characterized by communication between all players, whether they are from the same team or the opposing team. In summary, the current study revealed real-time information about the game and its rules. This is important because UF is one of the few team sports worldwide that are self-referred by participants
- The Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3) Portuguese-Version: Evidence of Reliability, Validity and Invariance Across GenderPublication . Cid, Luis; Monteiro, Diogo; Teixeira, Diogo; Teques, Pedro; Alves, Susana; Moutão, João; Nunes Silva, Marlene; Palmeira, AntónioThis study has as prime objective to analyze the psychometric properties of the Behavioral Regulation Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3) in a sample of Portuguese exercisers and invariance across gender. Two independent samples (448 calibration; 374 validation), aged between 16 and 78 years (M = 40.29; SD = 16.24), of both gender, (495 female; 327 male) were enrolled in this study. The results show that the original model (six factors; 24 items) did not fit to the data in a satisfactory way (χ 2 = 977.49; df = 237; B-S p < 0.001; SRMR = 0.07; NNFI = 0.80; CFI = 0.83; RMSEA = 0.08; 90% CI = 0.08–0.09). After removing six items (one for each factor), the model (six factors; 18 items) adjustment improved in a satisfactory way in both samples: calibration (χ 2 = 331.86; df = 120; B-S p < 0.001; SRMR = 0.06; NNFI = 0.91; CFI = 0.93; RMSEA = 0.06; 90% CI 0.06–0.07) and validation (χ 2 = 254.08; df = 120; B-S p < 0.001; SRMR = 0.04; NNFI = 0.93; CFI = 0.95; RMSEA = 0.06; 90% CI = 0.05–0.06). Results also showed model invariance across gender (1CFI ≤ 0.01). The Portuguese version of BREQ-3 (six factors; 18 items) is a valid and reliable measurement instrument to measure behavior regulation underlying self-determination theory in the exercise domain. However, the evidence also indicated that additional studies are needed to address the fragilities of the original model (six factors; 24 items).
- Tradução e validação do instrumento de avaliação da perceção de crenças na reabilitação (SIRBS – Sport Injury Rehabilitation Beliefs Survey)Publication . Silva, Mariana; Silva, Carlos Manuel Marques; Borrego, C. ou Chicau Borrego, C.; Teques, Pedro; Gonzaga, LuisA Psicologia das Lesões é uma das áreas que se insere na Psicologia do Desporto. Uma vez que as lesões são algo que acontece muito no âmbito desportivo, que por consequência afeta o bem-estar psicológico do individuo, desta forma torna-se importante que exista acompanhamento por parte de um profissional especializado na área, que saiba lidar com os indivíduos de ambos os géneros, com várias idades e crenças. A psicologia das lesões contribui para a otimização da recuperação das lesões desportivas, assim como, na prevenção da ocorrência das mesmas.
- Validation and adaptation of the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) in fitness group exercisersPublication . Teques, Pedro; Calmeiro, Luis; Silva, Carlos Manuel Marques; Borrego, Carla ChicauBackground: Recently, Mullen et al. (2011) presented an 8-item version of the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) that provides a valid instrument for assessing enjoyment in physical activity. The present paper investigated the psychometric properties of a Portuguese adaptation of PACES. Methods: After a process of back-to-back translation into Portuguese, 395 members of fitness centers who ranged in age from 18 to 66 years (31.11 ± 8.90, mean ± SD) completed the translated version of the PACES. On average, participants had 3.2 years of experience in fitness group classes and practiced for approximately 3.3 times per week. Results: An initial exploratory factor analysis (n = 139) revealed a unidimensional structure with factor loadings ranging from 0.79 to 0.89. Results also showed acceptable internal consistency. A confirmatory factor analysis in an independent sample (n = 256) provided additional support for the unidimensional structure of the questionnaire. In addition, moderate positive correlations between enjoyment and intrinsic and identified regulation, and moderate negative correlations between enjoyment and external and amotivation, demonstrate the convergent validity of the instrument. Finally, measurement invariance between 2 independent samples was also found. Conclusion: The 8-item Portuguese version of PACES is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring enjoyment of physical activity in Portuguese adult fitness exercisers, and it is therefore suitable to use as a measure of affect in exercise adherence interventions studies.
