Treinamento Comportamental e de Mindfulness sobre o Estresse Parental e a Relação entre Pais e Filhos

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a traditional parent training procedure combined with one of mindfulness in reducing parental stress and increasing positive parent-child interaction. A pretest-posttest design with one group was used. During the pretest and posttest phases the PSI, FFMQ and PCRI-M were applied to assess parental stress, mindfulness and parent-child relationship, respectively. The intervention lasted eight weeks in which a parent training procedure with mindfulness training was implemented. The results show that the combined training was effective in reducing parental stress, increasing mindfulness and improving parent-child relationship.El objetivo principal de este estudio fue evaluar la efectividad de un procedimiento tradicional a padres combinado con uno de atención plena en la reducción del estrés parental e incremento en interacción positiva padre-hijo. Se utilizó un diseño pretest-posttest de un solo grupo. Durante el pretest y posttest se aplicaron el PSI, FFMQ y PCRI-M para evaluar el estrés parental, atención plena y relación padre-hijo, respectivamente. La intervención duró 8 semanas en la cual se combinó un procedimiento de entrenamiento a padres con uno de atención plena. Los resultados muestran que el entrenamiento combinado fue efectivo en la reducción del estrés parental, incremento del uso de la atención plena en el proceso de crianza y mejora en la relación padre-hijo.O principal objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a efetividade de um tradicional procedimento de treinamento de pais combinado a um treinamento de mindfulness na redução do estresse parental e no aumento de interações positivas entre país e filhos. Utilizou-se um delineamento com pré-teste e pós-teste e com um grupo. Durante as fases de pré-teste epós-teste, aplicaram-se o PSI, o FFMO e o PCRI-M para avaliar estresse parental, mindfulness e relação entre país e filhos, respectivamente. A intervenção durou oito semanas, em que se implementaram o treinamento de pais e o de mindfulness. Os resultados demonstraram que o treinamento combinado foi efetivo na redução do estresse parental, no aumento de mindfulness e na melhora da relação entre país e filhos

Effect of training structures on the establishment of equivalence classes in college students and individuals with intellectual disabilities

The present studies evaluated the effect of training structures on the development of equivalence classes in college students and individuals with intellectual disabilities. Experiment 1 evaluated the effects of two types of training structures, One-To-Many (OTM) (AB, AC, AD), and Many-To-One (MTO) (BA, CA, DA), on the establishment of equivalence classes in college students. A between group comparison was used in Experiment 1. Forty-two participants were randomly assigned to two different groups. Twenty-one were assigned to the OTM group and twenty-one to the MTO group. Participants in both groups were taught 3 four-member stimulus classes. Participants in both groups were exposed to conditional discrimination training, mixed training, symmetry and equivalence test. Response accuracy and response latency were measured in both groups. The results showed that the MTO training structure was slightly more effective in establishing equivalence classes in college students. In the Experiment 2, six young adults with intellectual disabilities were taught mathematical relations using the MTO training structure which was the most effective training structure in Experiment 1. All participants were taught three 3-member stimulus equivalence classes using the MTO training structure. The experimental sequence consisted of a generalization probe and pretest followed by conditional discrimination training, symmetry test, equivalence test, and posttest. Upon the completion of the training and testing phases a generalization probe was evaluated. Five participants demonstrated equivalence relations. The results show that the MTO training was superior to the OTM in the Experiment 1. Response latencies were faster in the MTO group during the training phases and slower in the testing conditions. Experiment 2 showed that only five participants demonstrated equivalence relations and transferred untaught relations to new setting. Results and implications are discussed in light of the research on equivalence and training structures in both adults and individual with intellectual disabilities
