  • The Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale in Exercise (BPNSFS-E): Validity, Reliability, and Gender Invariance in Portuguese Exercisers
    Publication . Rodrigues, Filipe; Hair, Joseph F.; Neiva, Henrique Pereira; Teixeira, Diogo Santos; Cid, Luis; Monteiro, Diogo
    The aim of this study was to translate and validate the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale for Portuguese exercisers. In addition, we sought to analyze gender invariance. We collected data from two independent samples of Portuguese respondents—a calibration sample with 316 participants and a validation sample with 632 participants. Results from confirmatory factor analysis supported the original six-factor model in both the calibration sample, χ2(237) = 471.814, χ2/df = 1.99; B–S p < .001, Comparative Fit Index = .935, Tucker–Lewis Index =.924, standard mean root square residual = .047, root mean square error of approximation = .057 (90% confidence interval = [.050, .065]), and the validation sample, χ2(237) = 571.796, χ2/df = 2.41; B–S p < .001, Comparative Fit Index = .948, Tucker–Lewis Index = .940, standard mean root square residual = .038, root mean square error of approximation = .047 (90% confidence interval = [.042, .052]). Moreover, our analysis revealed acceptable internal consistency, convergent and discriminant validity of the translated version, and invariance between the two samples and between genders, as differences across latent means showed that magnitude effects were trivial between samples and between male and female exercisers. These results support the use of the adapted scale among both male and female exercisers.

  • Do cinema à análise do discurso dos media
    Publication . Maia E Carmo, Teresa
    How can film be operative in the analysis of media discourse? From the point of view of the work of analysis, one thing is the object of study (a piece of press, radio, television or digital based) arriving at the hands of the analyst or the student while finished; another thing is that same object considered referring it to the historical, social and personal context in its genesis. We consider that there is an undeniable addition of value when this happens: given our experience of analysis and teaching, this is what we see that film "does". We want to bring to the discussion two films: "The Post" (Steven Spielberg, 2017) and "All The President's Men" (Alan J. Pakula, 1976). From the point of view of the analysis of the discourse of the media, what approximation to space and objects, to the gestation time of journalistic work, to the very physicality of the process do these two films bring? From the point of view of film, since both refer in different ways to the same epoch - one, directly, once is made three years after the narrated events, as is the case of "All The President's Men '; and another as a 'vintage' movie, therefore, as a reconstitution, with other objects and other bodies, as is the case of "The Post" - what are the differences between one and the other, from the point of view of representation? What, finally, does film document? Aqui se relata uma experiência didáctico-pedagógica de aprofundamento das competências de literacia mediática através do cinema, no âmbito da unidade curricular «Análise do Discurso dos Media» da Licenciatura em Produção Multimédia em Educação, da Escola Superior de Educação do Instituto Politécnico de Santarém. Em tempos de informação caleidoscópica, a plasticidade das fontes de conhecimento é exponencial, mas desorganizada. Através da exploração das relações entre cinema e jornalismo, tentou-se que os alunos compreendessem o que é a atividade jornalística e as suas formas de inscrição na contemporaneidade mediática. Tal objectivo, que até há poucos anos era relativamente simples de atingir, tornou-se um peculiar quebra-cabeças. A razão: os estudantes deixaram de ler jornais. Ou algo que se lhe equipare: o consumo regular de um produto mediático informativo tradicional, mediado por profissionais encartados – os jornalistas – já não faz parte da «dieta de media» dos nascidos no século XXI.
