Abstract
This study aimed to compare the dimensions of sexual satisfaction in subjects with and without cancer. Independent variables were: different types of cancer, time elapsed since diagnosis, types of treatment and changes in body image. The dependent variable was level of satisfaction with sexual relations. The sample consisted of 184 participants, of whom 95 belonged to the cancer group (ages between 26 and 84 years) and 89 to the non-cancer group (ages between 19 and 67 years). The instrument used was the Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire (QSRS, for its Portuguese acronym). The results showed significant differences between the cancer group and the non-cancer group. Individuals with a history of cancer disease had lower values (17.93 ± 9.67) at the level of sexual function compared to individuals with no history of the disease (30.19 ± 4.2). Individuals with cancer who had higher values of self-esteem were those with urological cancer (16.76 ± 2.85), followed by breast cancer (14.83 ± 3.34) and “other cancers” (14.41 ± 5.5), whereas those with digestive cancer presented the lowest values (5.68 ± 13.63). In sexual functioning, the group of “other cancers” showed the highest levels of satisfaction (23.53 ± 10.12), while people with breast cancer (19.54 ± 9.36), digestive cancer (18.50 ± 12.57), and urological cancer (29.12 ± 7.22) presented the lowest levels of satisfaction. Within the group of people with cancer, those who had less than one year and between three to five years of having been diagnosed reflected less satisfactory sexual performance values. On the other hand, radiation treatments, surgery and “other treatments” showed negative effects on sexual functioning, as well as changes in body image. All independent variables had a negative impact on sexual satisfaction and performance, with the exception of weight loss, vomiting, and hair loss.

Abstract
This study aims to compare students of Psychology and Sport about the Psychological Wellbeing (PWB) and Self-Esteem. A total of 126 subjects (42.9% male) of Psychology and Sport courses (51.6% of Sport) participated in this study. The results suggest that Self-Esteem variable is not related to the PWB, since the association between these two variables is negative, although not significant (r = -.090). The results also show that there are no significant differences between students of Sport and Psychology in the levels of BEP and its dimensions. Nevertheless, it is clear that when put together, the knowledge in the areas of Psychology and Sport, are able to increase the PWB. In conclusion, the knowledge in the mental health area and physical activity establishing itself areas to invest to promote overall mental health levels.

Abstract
This research pretends to understand the profile of the young Portuguese army in levels of Aggressiveness, Perfectionism and Self-concept, according to comparative analyze by gender and military rank. The sample consisted of 183 soldiers, aged between 18 and 35 years, which are 18 female and 165 male. The study variables were evaluated by applying three instruments, respectively, Multidimensional Scale of Perfectionism, Aggression Questionnaire and Self-Concept Clinical Inventory. The main results show that elevated levels of general Perfectionism and general Self-concept, as moderate levels of general Aggressiveness, characterize the overall profile of the young military. The comparative gender analysis showed that there are significant differences in the results regarding levels of aggression only. On the other hand the comparative analysis of military ranks indicates the existence of significant differences in levels of self-concept and aggression. Finally, the correlation analysis shows that aggressiveness correlates negatively with self-concept and positively with perfectionism.
