Social and moral psychology of COVID-19 across 69 countries
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all domains of human life, including the economic and social fabric of societies. One of the central strategies for managing public health throughout the pandemic has been through persuasive messaging and collective behaviour change. To help scholars better understand the social and moral psychology behind public health behaviour, we present a dataset comprising of 51,404 individuals from 69 countries. This dataset was collected for the International Collaboration on Social & Moral Psychology of COVID-19 project (ICSMP COVID-19). This social science survey invited participants around the world to complete a series of moral and psychological measures and public health attitudes about COVID-19 during an early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic (between April and June 2020). The survey included seven broad categories of questions: COVID-19 beliefs and compliance behaviours; identity and social attitudes; ideology; health and well-being; moral beliefs and motivation; personality traits; and demographic variables. We report both raw and cleaned data, along with all survey materials, data visualisations, and psychometric evaluations of key variables

Neonatal Auditory Screening in 17 732 Neonates
Introdução: A surdez infantil representa uma das anomalias congénitas mais frequentes. Em Portugal, foi desenvolvido o Grupo de Rastreio e Intervenção na Surdez Infantil (GRISI), cujo principal objetivo é implementar um programa de rastreio nacional através da aplicação de técnicas e métodos definidos e semelhantes nos vários hospitais.
Objetivos: Analizar a polupação de recém-nascidos rastreados num hospital periférico, no que concerne à presença de fatores de risco para surdez e resultados dos testes de rastreio.
Material e métodos: Foram consultados os processos das crianças nascidas no Hospital Professor Doutor Fernando Fonseca, entre 2010 e 2015. Foram analisados os fatores de risco para surdez e os resultados dos testes de rastreio. Foram calculados a efetividade do rastreio assim como o índice de referenciação para consulta de Otorrinolaringologia. Os dados foram analizados através do programa informático SPSS®, atribuindo-se validade estatística a valores de p<0.05.
Resultados: Verificou-se o nascimento de 18019 crianças. O programa de rastreio foi efetuado em 17732 recém-nascidos. A efetividade do rastreio foi de 98,7%. O índice de referenciação para consulta foi de 2,3%. 402 crianças não passaram o rastreio. 354 crianças possuiam fatores de risco para surdez.
Discussão: O programa de rastreio foi considerado efetivo e o índice de referenciação foi inferior a 4%. Os principais fatores de risco foram: muito baixo peso ao nascer, baixo índice Apgar e consumo de fármacos ototóxicos.
Conclusão: Os autores consideram importante a consciencialização dos resultados do programa de rastreio, para que este possa ser melhorado.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Psicología social y moral de COVID-19 en 69 países
La pandemia de COVID-19 ha afectado a todos los ámbitos de la vida humana, incluido el tejido económico y social de las sociedades. Una de las estrategias centrales para gestionar la salud pública a lo largo de la pandemia ha sido el envío de mensajes persuasivos y el cambio de comportamiento colectivo. Para ayudar a los estudiosos a comprender mejor la psicología social y moral que subyace al comportamiento en materia de salud pública, presentamos un conjunto de datos compuesto por 51.404 individuos de 69 países. Este conjunto de datos se recopiló para el proyecto de la Colaboración Internacional en Psicología Social y Moral de COVID-19 (ICSMP COVID-19). Esta encuesta de ciencias sociales invitó a participantes de todo el mundo a completar una serie de medidas morales y psicológicas y actitudes de salud pública sobre COVID-19 durante una fase temprana de la pandemia de COVID-19 (entre abril y junio de 2020). La encuesta incluía siete grandes categorías de preguntas: Creencias sobre COVID-19 y conductas de cumplimiento; identidad y actitudes sociales; ideología; salud y bienestar; creencias morales y motivación; rasgos de personalidad; y variables demográficas. Presentamos los datos brutos y depurados, junto con todos los materiales de la encuesta, las visualizaciones de los datos y las evaluaciones psicométricas de las variables clave.The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all domains of human life, including the economic and social fabric of societies.

Addressing climate change with behavioral science:A global intervention tournament in 63 countries
Effectively reducing climate change requires marked, global behavior change. However, it is unclear which strategies are most likely to motivate people to change their climate beliefs and behaviors. Here, we tested 11 expert-crowdsourced interventions on four climate mitigation outcomes: beliefs, policy support, information sharing intention, and an effortful tree-planting behavioral task. Across 59,440 participants from 63 countries, the interventions' effectiveness was small, largely limited to nonclimate skeptics, and differed across outcomes: Beliefs were strengthened mostly by decreasing psychological distance (by 2.3%), policy support by writing a letter to a future-generation member (2.6%), information sharing by negative emotion induction (12.1%), and no intervention increased the more effortful behavior-several interventions even reduced tree planting. Last, the effects of each intervention differed depending on people's initial climate beliefs. These findings suggest that the impact of behavioral climate interventions varies across audiences and target behaviors.</p

National identity predicts public health support during a global pandemic.
Changing collective behaviour and supporting non-pharmaceutical interventions is an important component in mitigating virus transmission during a pandemic. In a large international collaboration (Study 1, N = 49,968 across 67 countries), we investigated self-reported factors associated with public health behaviours (e.g., spatial distancing and stricter hygiene) and endorsed public policy interventions (e.g., closing bars and restaurants) during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic (April-May 2020). Respondents who reported identifying more strongly with their nation consistently reported greater engagement in public health behaviours and support for public health policies. Results were similar for representative and non-representative national samples. Study 2 (N = 42 countries) conceptually replicated the central finding using aggregate indices of national identity (obtained using the World Values Survey) and a measure of actual behaviour change during the pandemic (obtained from Google mobility reports). Higher levels of national identification prior to the pandemic predicted lower mobility during the early stage of the pandemic (r = -0.40). We discuss the potential implications of links between national identity, leadership, and public health for managing COVID-19 and future pandemics
