BIAL Foundation Archive
Start date: 1994
History:
The BIAL Foundation was created in 1994 by Laboratórios BIAL in conjunction with the Council of Rectors of Portuguese Universities. BIAL’s Foundation mission is to foster the scientific study of Man from both the physical and spiritual perspectives.
Along the years the BIAL Foundation has developed an important relationship with the scientific community, first in Portugal and after worldwide. Today it is an institution of reference which aims to stimulate new researches that may help people, promote more health and contribute to new milestones to gain access to knowledge.
Among its activities the BIAL Foundation manages the BIAL Award, created in 1984, one of the most important awards in the Health field in Europe. The BIAL Award rewards both the basic and the clinical research distinguishing works of major impact in medical research.
The BIAL Foundation also assigns Scientific Research Scholarships for the study of neurophysiological and mental health in people, arousing the interest of researchers in the areas of Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
To date the BIAL Foundation has supported 461 projects, more than 1000 researchers, with research groups in twenty-seven countries, resulting, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, out of which 172 published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Since 1996 the BIAL Foundation organizes the Symposia entitled "Behind and Beyond the Brain", a Forum that gathers well renowned neurosciences speakers and the BIAL Foundation Fellows which are spread around the world.
Classified as an institution of public utility, the BIAL Foundation includes among its patrons the Portuguese President, the Portuguese Universities Rectors' Council and the Portuguese Medical Association.

Title: BIAL Grants
Start date: 1994
History:
In 1994 the BIAL Foundation launched a programme of science research grants with the aim of encouraging the research into Man’s physical and mental processes, namely in fields still largely unexplored but which warrant further scientific analysis, as Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
Since its launch, applications to the BIAL grants have been increasing. Up to now 461 projects have been supported, involving more than 1000 researchers from 27 countries.
The approved applications have benefited from grants in amounts comprised between €5,000 and €50, 000. The amount to be granted is fixed by the Scientific board according to the needs of each project.
The supported projects have originated, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, 172 out of which were published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Among the BIAL Foundation fellows is worth highlighting the presence of scientists from prestigious universities from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Russia, Germany, Japan, France, Canada, and many others.
The BIAL grants are promoted biannually.

Abstract/Results: RESULTS:
Objectives: The autotelic personality is associated with traits associated with positive mental and physical health outcomes. Furthermore, the autotelic personality was associated with a better functioning in daily life contexts. The aim of this study was to investigate whether autotelic personality characteristics are associated with experiential and physiological momentary responses to daily life contexts.
Methods: Sixty-seven female college students from the University of Minho, Portugal, used the Experience Sampling Method during a week, completing questionnaires and collecting saliva samples 8 times daily. We performed multi-level analyses to investigate the effects of autotelic personality characteristics on subjective experience and cortisol secretion.
Results: Autotelic students experienced lower negative affect and fatigue, and higher levels of engagement in daily life, than less autotelic students. In solitude, autotelic students did not experience heightened negative affect in solitude as their less autotelic individuals did. Although daily solitude was associated with heightened cortisol levels, we did not find a moderating effect of autotelic personality on cortisol levels in solitude.
Conclusions: Current results shed new clues about the assessment of the psychophysiology of the autotelic personality. Findings help clarify how daily contexts influence the affective and neuroendocrine responses of individuals, contributing for future health outcomes.
Discussion: We discuss future directions such as the inclusion of other physiological measures (e.g., salivary alpha-amylase) and the study of different moments in time to understand the effects of positive personality characteristics on processes such as adaptation and health outcomes.

Experiência Óptima e Cortisol: A Psicofisiologia no Quotidiano

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
A Psicologia Positiva procura conhecer e desenvolver as qualidades e forças individuais
que promovem a qualidade de vida óptima. É no quotidiano, através das experiências
subjectivas que vivencia, que o indivíduo vai expressar as suas capacidades e
construir a sua trajectória de vida pessoal.
O Experience Fluctuation Model (EFM) explica a variação da experiência subjectiva
tendo em conta a percepção subjectiva de desafios e competências, através de
oito canais experienciais que diferem no tónus afectivo e no grau de activação
mental e física.
Este artigo tem como objectivos explorar as conexões entre a fisiologia e conceitos
explorados pela Psicologia Positiva, através da revisão de alguma literatura já
desenvolvida, compreender de que forma este modelo poderá expressar estados
fisiológicos distintos de acordo com a experiência subjectiva do indivíduo, e como
a vivência do quotidiano poderá reflectir ou ser reflexo de estados psicossociais e
seus correlatos fisiológicos.
