Introduction: Resilience is the ability to adapt or recover after adverse situations.This study aimed to adapt and investigate evidence of the validity of the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) for the Brazilian context. Method: The total sample comprised 1,937 people who participated in the study and the validity analysis was carried out with 1,480 people between 18 and 78 years of age. It was carried out using translation, back-translation, descriptive analysis, reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Item Response Theory, the ROC curve and BRS correlation with the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale - 10-item version (CD-RISC-10), the Social Support Perception Scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire - 2-item version (PHQ-2), and sociodemographic data. Results: The results showed the adequacy of the Brazilian version of the BRS (BRS-BR), alpha of 0.80, omega = 0.81, one factor, good information capacity of the items (except for item 5) and correlation with the CD-RISC-10 (rho = 0.64), PHQ-2 (rho = - 0.38)and Social Support (rho = 0.14). There was also a correlation with sex (rho = 0.11), age (rho = 0.13), marital status (rho = 0.15) and schooling (rho = 0.15). The ROC curve shows a cutoff point at 10 points for low resilience and 21 points for high resilience. Conclusions: The investigation of the psychometric characteristics of the BRS-BR showed that the instrument can be useful for the evaluation of resilience in the Brazilian context.

Abstract This study examined three sets of psychosocial variables (love styles, perceived social support, and social and emotional loneliness) as predictors of satisfaction with love life among 357 college students from Madeira (57% females). The participants completed four scales, including the Love Attitudes Scale (LAS), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Support (MSPSS), the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale (SELSA-S), and the Satisfaction with Love Life Scale (SWLLS). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the unidimensionality of the SWLLS among college students in Madeira region. Overall, satisfaction with love life was significantly predicted by indicators of love styles, perceived social support, and social and emotional loneliness, accounting respectively for 51%, 28%, and 60% of the variance being explained. The study provided additional evidence of the importance of love styles, social support and loneliness in satisfaction with love life.

Objective: To analyze the reliability and validity of a scale used to measure social support for physical activity in adolescents - ASAFA Scale. Methods: This study included 2,755 adolescents (57.6% girls, 16.5 ± 1.2 years of age), from Joao Pessoa, Paraiba, Brazil. Initially, the scale was consisted of 12 items (6 for social support from parents and 6 from friends). The reliability of the scale was estimated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α), by the Composite Reliability (CR), and by the model with two factors and factorial invariance by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) adequacy. Results: The CFA results confirmed that the social support scale contained two factors (factor 1: social support from parents; factor 2: social support from friends) with five items each (one item was excluded from each scale), all with high factor loadings (> 0.65) and acceptable adjustment indexes (RMR = 0.050; RMSEA = 0.063; 90%CI: 0.060 - 0.067); AGFI = 0.903; GFI = 0.940; CFI = 0.934, NNFI = 0.932). The internal consistency was satisfactory (parents: α ≥ 0.77 and CR ≥ 0.83; friends: α ≥ 0.87 and CR ≥ 0.91). The scale's factorial invariance was confirmed (p > 0.05; Δχ2 and ΔCFI ≤ 0.01) across all subgroups analyzed (gender, age, economic class). The construct validity was evidenced by the significant association (p < 0.05) between the adolescents physical activity level and the social support score of parents (rho = 0.29) and friends (rho = 0.39). Conclusions: The scale showed reliability, factorial invariance and satisfactory validity, so it can be used in studies with adolescents.

BackgroundMoodscope is an entirely service-user-developed online mood-tracking and feedback tool with built-in social support, designed to stabilize and improve mood. Many free internet tools are available with no assessment of acceptability, validity or usefulness. This study provides an exemplar for future assessments.MethodA mixed-methods approach was used. Participants with mild to moderate low mood used the tool for 3 months. Correlations between weekly assessments using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Assessment (GAD-7) with daily Moodscope scores were examined to provide validity data. After 3 months, focus groups and questionnaires assessed use and usability of the tool.ResultsMoodscope scores were correlated significantly with scores on the PHQ-9 and the GAD-7 for all weeks, suggesting a valid measure of mood. Low rates of use, particularly toward the end of the trial, demonstrate potential problems relating to ongoing motivation. Questionnaire data indicated that the tool was easy to learn and use, but there were concerns about the mood adjectives, site layout and the buddy system. Participants in the focus groups found the tool acceptable overall, but felt clarification of the role and target group was required.ConclusionsWith appropriate adjustments, Moodscope could be a useful tool for clinicians as a way of initially identifying patterns and influences on mood in individuals experiencing low mood. For those who benefit from ongoing mood tracking and the social support provided by the buddy system, Moodscope could be an ongoing adjunct to therapy.

Social Provisions

Dukungan sosial adalah pemberian bantuan dari seseorang kepada orang lain berupa perhatian emosional, bantuan materil, pemberian informasi, penghargaan, pujian, pemecahan masalah dan bantuan nyata, sehingga orang yang mendapatkan dukungan tersebut merasa dihargai dan dicintai. Salah satu bagian dari dukungan sosial adalah dukungan teman sebaya. Hal tersebut bisa berupa penerimaan dari teman terhadap individu, yang menimbulkan persepsi dalam dirinya bahwa ia disayangi, diperhatikan, dihargai, dan ditolong, sehingga menimbulkan perasaan bahwa kita memiliki arti bagi orang lain atau menjadi bagian dari jaringannya. Menurut Weiss (dalam Cutrona dan Russell, 1987) komponen dukungan sosial meliputi pemenuhan 6 hal kebutuhan, yaitu emotional attachment, social integration, reassurance of worth, reliable alliance, guidance, dan opportunity for nurturance. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji validitas kostruk instrumen tersebut. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh dari santri kelas 1 extention Pondok Pesantren Daar El- Qolam yang berjumlah 204 orang. Metode yang digunakan untuk mengujinya adalah confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) menggunakan software LISREL 8.70. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bawa seluruh item yang berjumlah 23 item bersifat unidimensional. Artinya seluruh item hanya mengukur satu faktor saja, sehingga model satu faktor yang diteorikan oleh The Social Provisions Scale dapat diterima. Social support is the provision of assistance from someone to others in the form emotional attention, material assistance, information giving, appreciation, praise, problem solving and real help so that people who get that support feel valued and loved. One of the parts of social support is peer support. This can be in the form of acceptance from friends to individuals, which gives rise to a perception in him/her that he/she is loved, cared for, appreciated, and helped, giving rise to feelings that we matter to others. According to Weiss (in Cutrona and Russel, 1987) the component of social support includes the fulfillment of six things: emotional attachment, social integration, reassurance of worth, reliable alliance, guidance, and opportunity for nurturance. This study aims to examine the validity of the boarding instrument. The data in this research were obtained from students in class 1 extention of Daar El-Qolam Islamic Boarding School with 204 people. The method that used to test them is confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using LISREL 8.70 as the software. The results of this research show that all items, totaling 23 items, are unidimensional. This means that all items only measure one factor so that a one-factor model theorized by The Social Provisions Scale is acceptable.

Abstract Study aim: Martial arts and combat sports have been an alternative for individuals seeking the health benefits of physical activity and exercise, but little is known about its practitioners’ quality of life. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the quality of life of practitioners of five of the most common modalities in Brazil. Material and methods: A total of 922 young men, competitive and recreational practitioners of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, karate, kung-fu, and taekwondo, answered the Brazilian version of the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. Results: The results for each domain – physical, psychological, social, and environmental – are, respectively, as follow (mean ± standard deviation): Brazilian jiu-jitsu: 74 ± 11, 75 ± 12, 77 ± 17, 67 ± 14; judo: 74 ± 13, 75 ± 12, 77 ± 15, 64 ± 12; karate: 76 ± 13, 75 ± 12, 78 ± 15, 64 ± 13; kung-fu: 77 ± 13, 75 ± 13, 74 ± 17, 65 ± 13; taekwondo: 76 ± 12, 76 ± 11, 78 ± 16, 64 ± 13; total: 75 ± 13, 75 ± 12, 77 ± 16, 65 ± 13. There was no difference between modalities and no interaction between modalities and experience level. All groups and the total sample presented higher values than the normative national data in the physical and psychological domains. This was also the case for the judo, karate, and taekwondo groups, as well as the total sample in the social domain, and for the Brazilian jiu-jitsu and the whole sample in the environmental domain. Additionally, in the whole sample competitors scored higher than recreational practitioners in the psychological domain. Conclusion: These findings reveal that the practice of these modalities is associated with higher quality of life than the normative values. Longitudinal studies are warranted for a better understanding of this association.

Introduction The 10-item Social Provisions Scale (SPS-10) has been implemented to measure social support in a number of national surveys in Canada. The objective of this study was to reduce the SPS-10 to a brief, five-item scale (SPS-5), while maintaining adequate measurement properties. Methods Data from individuals aged 18 years and older who responded to the Social Provisions Scale module in the Canadian Community Health Survey 2012 Mental Health Focus cycle (CCHS 2012 MH) and the Canadian Community Health Survey 2017 Annual cycle (CCHS 2017) were analyzed. We used exploratory factor analysis and item-to-total correlations from the CCHS 2012 MH data to choose items. A correlation analysis between the SPS-5, SPS-10 and related positive mental health (PMH) constructs were used to assess the criterion-related validity of the SPS-5 compared to the SPS-10. A confirmatory factor analysis using data from the CCHS 2017 was conducted to confirm the factor structure of the SPS-5. Results The SPS-5 showed high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha of 0.88) and similar correlations as the SPS-10 with related PMH constructs. The SPS-5 and SPS-10 were also very highly correlated (r = 0.97). The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that a single factor model of the SPS-5 fit the data well. The SPS-5 and SPS-10 yield similar estimates of high social support, of 92.7 and 91.5%, respectively. Conclusion The new SPS-5 demonstrated adequate measurement properties, and functioned in a similar manner to the SPS-10, supporting a reduced version of the Scale. The SPS-5 is a feasible and valid alternative to the SPS-10 that could be used to reduce respondent burden on national health surveys.
