The aim of this research was to examine the subjective quality of life in blind and partially sighted people in relation to the type of impairment, duration of impairment and participation in psychosocial rehabilitation. The study used a sociodemographic and health questionnaire, and the Personal Wellbeing Index for adults to examine participant satisfaction with different life domains. The results have shown that subjective quality of life in blind and partially sighted people is within the theoretically expected normative range for global population of 60 to 80% scale maximum. The results have also shown that type and duration of impairment as well as participation in psychosocial rehabilitation are significant indicators of subjective quality of life of blind and partially sighted people.

“…In their seminal publication, Resnick et al (1997) reported that family connectedness and school connectedness were powerful negative predictors of adolescents' maladjustment (i.e., emotional distress, suicidal ideation, and substance misuse). Since then, a burgeoning body of research studies has suggested that a sense of belongingness, in other words "social connectedness", may act as a buffer against loneliness (Cruwys et al, 2013;Mellor, Stokes, Firth, Hayashi, & Cummins, 2008). For example, Cruwys et al (2013) found that social connectedness, measured by the number of social group memberships, was protective against the development of depressive symptoms in a group of non-depressed and initially depressed elderly samples.…”

Social Connectedness Predicts Lower Loneliness and Depressive Symptoms over Time in Adolescents

Although research has shown that loneliness in adolescents leads to higher rates of depressive symptoms, the presumed protective factor of social connectedness has not been studied in conjunction with these two constructs. The aim of the present study was to determine if social connectedness would predict lower loneliness and depressive symptoms over time in a large sample of adolescents. A large sample of adolescents (N = 1774; 9 -16 years at Time 1) were surveyed three times, separated by one year each, with self-report measures of social connectedness, loneliness, and depressive symptoms obtained. As expected, social connectedness was negatively associated with loneliness and depressive symptoms concurrently and longitudinally. Contrary to prediction, social connectedness did not function as a buffer between loneliness and depressive symptoms over time. However, consistent with prediction, a significant longitudinal mediation pattern was obtained over the three years: the effect of social connectedness on depressive symptoms was mediated by loneliness. Social connectedness at T1 predicted a reduction in loneliness at T2, which in turn predicted a reduction in depressive symptoms at T3. Moderation analyses of this mediation pattern suggested that this obtained mediation result was obtained for males, but not females, and obtained for older adolescents, but not for younger adolescents. The results are congruent with the view that social connectedness exerts an effective protective influence on adolescents against loneliness and depressive symptoms.

“…Estes dois últimos construtos compartilham a percepção subjetiva de conexão com os demais, onde o não atendimento das necessidades de pertença pode contribuir para o surgimento da solidão (Baumeister & Leary, 1995;Mellor, Stokes, Firth, Hayashi, & Cummins, 2008). Especificamente, Baumeister e Leary apontam que formar vínculos sociais pode resultar em respostas emocionais, onde o aumento em pertencimento pode estar relacionado a afetos positivos, ao passo que uma privação de interação com os demais pode levar a afetos negativos.…”

ResumoDois estudos (N = 457) examinaram as propriedades psicométricas da versão reduzida do Questionário de Necessidade de Emoções (Need for Affect Questionnaire: NAQ-S) no contexto brasileiro. No primeiro estudo, uma análise de componentes principais indicou uma estrutura bifatorial, com cinco itens cada: aproximação (α = 0,70) e evitação (α = 0,75). Confirmou-se essa estrutura no segundo estudo (GFI = 0,92; CFI = 0,90), mostrando-se invariante quanto ao sexo. Para verificar os correlatos do NAQ-S, utilizou-se, nos dois estudos, medidas que visam avaliar os valores humanos, a solidão e a necessidade de pertença, além dos cinco fatores da personalidade no segundo estudo. Os resultados demonstraram que uma maior necessidade de emoção foi associada com maior extroversão, maiores escores em valores de experimentação e interativos, e escores mais baixos de solidão. Os estudos apresentam suporte de validade do NAQ-S no Brasil, mostrando sua utilidade para fins de pesquisa. Palavras-chave: necessidade de emoções, validação, parâmetros psicométricos Need for Affect Questionnaire (NAQ-S): Construct Validity, Invariance and Reliability AbstractTwo studies (N=457) examined the psychometric properties of the short version of the Need for Affect Questionnaire (NAQ-S) in the Brazilian context. In the first study, a principal components analysis indicated a two-factor structure, with five items each: approach (α= .70) and avoidance (α= .75). This structure was confirmed in the second study (GFI= .92; CFI= .90), and it was invariant across gender. To verify the correlates of NAQ-S, we used measures to evaluate the human values, loneliness and need to belong in both studies, besides the five personality factors in the second study. The results showed that higher need for affect was associated with higher extraversion, higher scores in excitement and interactive values, and with lower loneliness scores. The studies support the validity of the NAQ-S in Brazil, showing its usefulness for research purposes.
