Authors:Crismarie Casper Hackenberg, Felipe Santos de Oliveira, Sérgio Felipe Abreu de Brito Bastos, Rodrigo da Cunha Teixeira Lopes Pages: 1 - 16 Abstract: Objective. The goal of this study was to explore the relationship between social anxiety (SA) and musical performance anxiety (MPA) in a Brazilian sample of singers. Method. This study is descriptive, observational, correlational and quantitative, with a non-probabilistic convenience sample of 252 singers (142 amateurs and 110 professionals). Participants answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Adult Social Anxiety Questionnaire and the Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory. Results. A moderate and significant positive correlation was found between SA and MPA. Evidence suggests that APM is significantly higher in professional singers and soloists. The aspects of “Worry and Insecurity” are significantly higher in professional singers than in amateurs. In conclusion, SA and MPA are present in professional singers representing an aggravating factor in mental health. Professional singers and soloists can benefit from diagnostics and treatment in the area of music performance. PubDate: 2023-01-07 DOI: 10.15517/ap.v37i134.49002 Issue No:Vol. 37, No. 134 (2023)

Authors:Hiram Reyes Sosa, Yadira Elizabethz Salcido Otáñe, César Jesús Burgos Dávila Pages: 41 - 52 Abstract: The aim of this article was identifying the processes that predict the optimal state of Flow in high performance university athletes. A sample of 75 athletes that participated in the Sinaloa State Universiada and Monterrey´s National Universiada with ages between 18 and 25 years (M = 21,26 SD = 1,89) participated in this research. The results showed that athletes presented higher levels of positive emotions accompanied with optimal state of Flow and lower levels of somatic and cognitive anxiety.

Authors:Roberta Bilibio Westphalen, Cristina Pilla Della Méa, Vinícius Renato Thomé Ferreira Pages: 53 - 67 Abstract: Objective. The aim of this study was to analyze the feedback of individuals with obesity diagnosis after 8 Group Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (GCBT) sessions. Method. 13 patients with previous obesity diagnosis participated. The instrument was an interview conducted at the last meeting of the GCBT; subsequently, a Bardin’s content analysis was carried out. Results. The obtained data was organized into four categories: benefits of participation in the intervention; weight loss and self-esteem; improvement in nutrition quality; and improvement in physical health and life quality. Beyond weight loss, there was an improvement in the quality of nutrition, weight loss, well-being, self-esteem, and, consequently, in the quality of life. Aside from its application in obesity treatment, GCBT can be a promising approach in the treatment of other disorders.

Authors:Catarina Pinheiro Mota, Carine Martins, Beatriz Santos Pages: 68 - 84 Abstract: Objective. This study aims to analyze to what extent the quality of the romantic attachment, the presence of psychopathological symptoms, and the inter-parental conflicts predict dating conflicts in young adults. Method. The sample comprised 505 individuals, 366 (72.5%) females, aged between 18 and 25 (M = 20.59; SD = 1.78). Results. The results indicate that interparental conflict, psychopathological symptomatology, and ambivalence in romantic attachment negatively predict non-abusive resolution strategies in dating. Abusive coping strategies and dating violence were positively predicted by psychopathological symptoms, inter-parental conflicts, and dating attachment ambivalence. These were also negatively predicted by interpersonal sensitivity and trust in the romantic attachment. Females were associated with non-abusive conflict resolution strategies, whereas males were associated with abusive conflict resolution strategies and violent behaviors.
