The present study aims to evaluate psychometric data on the population of Brazil using of the Color Trails Test (CTT). The instrument was applied to 1,942 subjects who came from the north (1.4%), northeast (10.4%), midwest (7.7%), southeast (65.9%), and south (13.9%) regions of Brazil. Ages varied from 18 to 86 years (M = 40.03 years; DP = 16.02), with 386 males (19.9%) and 1,556 females (80.1%). Regarding schooling, 57 (3%) of participants were illiterate, 1.240 (64%) had primary education and 645 (33%) had a high school and/or superior diploma. The length of schooling ranged from 0 to 14 (M = 7.81, SD = 3.51) years. Good accuracy ratings were obtained using Spearman's coefficient on the main measures of the CTT, including time of execution form 1 (0.76) and form 2 (0.82). Regional variations showed that the northeast region had the worst results on the instrument. Males had better performance on the proposed task, with significant differences between age groups and the worst results for ages greater than 60 years. For both sexes, an increase in score was noticed with increasing age, and better performance was found with increasing levels of education. The present results suggest that the CTT can identify attentional disturbances with significant variations in the time of execution.
ResumoO objetivo do estudo foi encontrar evidências de validade das Matrizes Progressivas Avançadas de Raven em universitários. Participaram 369 universitários de duas universidades privadas do estado de São Paulo, sendo 104 (28,2%) do sexo masculino e 265 (71,8%) do feminino. Em relação aos cursos, 167 (45,3%) são de Psicologia, 111 (30,1%) de Administração de Empresas, 54 (14,6%) de Gestão de Recursos Humanos e 37 (10%) de Pedagogia. Os resultados demonstraram que houve diferença significativa com relação ao gênero, com um melhor desempenho do sexo masculino (t=4,21 e p<0,01). A análise de variância (ANOVA) mostrou que ocorreu diferença significativa entre as médias obtidas em cada curso (F=13,8 e p<0,00), e os cursos que se diferenciaram de acordo com o teste ad-hoc de Tukey foram os de Administração e Psicologia. Os resultados demonstraram que o instrumento utilizado mostrou-se preciso para avaliar aspectos da inteligência geral em universitários. Palavras-chave: inteligência; avaliação psicológica; ensino superior. Validity Evidence of Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices in university students AbstractThe aim of the study was to find validity evidence of Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices in university students. The sample consisted of 369 university students from two private universities in the state of Sao Paulo, being a 104 (28,2%) of the masculine and 265 (71,8%) of the feminine. Regarding the courses, 167 (45,3%) is of Psychology, 111 (30,1%) is of Business Administration, 54 (14,6 %) is of Management of Human Resources and 37 (10%) is of Pedagogy. The results showed statistically significant difference of sex, with males having better performance in the instrument (t=4.21; p<0.01). The analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed significant difference between averages of the courses (F=13,8; p<0,00), and the courses that are differentiated in accordance with the test ad-hoc of Tukey were Administration and Psychology that obtained scores bigger than the others courses. The results demonstrated what the used instrument showed precisely to value aspects of the general intelligence at university students.
A dor pode ser definida como “experiência sensoriale emocional desagradável, associada a lesões teciduais reaisou potenciais”. Dessa maneira, percebe-se que a associaçãoestabelecida entre lesão-estímulo doloroso envolve razõesbiológicas e um importante componente subjetivo. Estetrabalho tem como objetivo avaliar como os atletas convivem,encaram e controlam os episódios dolorosos, sua capacidadeem discriminar os diferentes tipos de dor, bem como suasensibilidade em responder aos sinais e limites, condiçõesessenciais na busca pelo melhor resultado para a equipe epara si próprio. Para tanto foram utilizados Inventário daDor para o Esporte e relatos em formato de histórias de dorem 32 atletas participantes dos Jogos Abertos Brasileiros de2009. Os dados apontam que as representações sobre a dorvariam conforme a faixa etária e o gênero, o que reforça ocomponente subjetivo implicado nessa percepção, exigindocuidados dos profissionais que irão lidar com os pacientesnessas condições.
