Background: Paranoid ideation has been regarded as a cognitive and a social process used as a defence against perceived threats. According to this perspective, paranoid ideation can be understood as a process extending across the normal-pathological continuum. Methods: In order to refine the construct of paranoid ideation and to validate a measure of paranoia, 906 Portuguese participants from the general population and 91 patients were administered the General Paranoia Scale (GPS), and two conceptual models (one - and tridimensional) were compared through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results: Results from the CFA of the GPS confirmed a different model than the one-dimensional model proposed by Fenigstein and Vanable, which com-prised three dimensions (mistrust thoughts, persecutory ideas, and self-deprecation). This alternative model presented a better fit and increased sensitivity when compared with the one-dimensional model. Further data analysis of the scale revealed that the GPS is an adequate assessment tool for adults, with good psychometric characteristics and high internal consistency. Conclusion: The model proposed in the current work leads to further refinements and enrichment of the construct of paranoia in different populations, allowing the assessment of three dimensions of paranoia and the risk of clinical paranoia in a single measure for the general population.

Este trabalho realiza uma abordagem ao construto envolvimento do aluno na escola e relaciona o envolvimento expresso pelos alunos com a disrupção professada por eles mesmos. A investigação contou 365 participantes a frequentarem o 7.º e o 10.º anos de escolaridade. Para a recolha de dados utilizaram-se o Questionário de Envolvimento dos Estudantes na Escola, a versão portuguesa para investigação do StudentEngagement in SchoolScale (Lam e Jimerson, 2008) e a Escala de Disrupção Escolar Professada, um instrumento construído e adaptado para a população portuguesa (Veiga, 2008). Os resultados indicam um envolvimento médio a elevado por parte dos alunos, embora sendo mais expressivo nos do 7.º ano. Em termos de comportamento, os resultados sugerem não existir representações de condutas disruptivas, sobretudo no nível dos alunos do 7.º ano. Finalmente, os resultados apontam para uma relação negativa entre envolvimento na escola e comportamento disruptivo, fortalecendo a ideia de que o envolvimento é um fator protetor da adaptação à escola.

The objective of this work is to present elements of the project Student engagement in Schools (SES). The team consists of 10 researchers from six Universities. Student engagement in schools is a multidimensional construct that unites affective, behavioural, and cognitive dimensions of student adaptation in the school and has influence on students’outcomes. The team of researchers conceptualized two major studies, a differential study to analyze the relations between SES and contextual factors, personal factors, student’s outcomes, and a quasi-experimental study to analyze the effects on SES of a specific intervention programmes. In study 1, the sample size is around 600 students (150 6th graders, 150 7th graders, 150 9th graders, and 150 10th graders). We shall focus on years of school transition, with rural and urban populations, on different regions of the country, and on students with different family background. We shall conduct questionnaires with national and international scales. The study 2 will involve students in 7th and 9th grade, from four classes, two of the experimental group and two of the control group. Patterns of verbal communication between a teacher and students can influence the classroom environment and SES. This model of communication would result in more effective student management and more time on-task for learning.
