TUNDAVALA | ANGOLAN JOURNAL OF SCIENCES
Emergence
Tundavala: Revista Angolana de Ciências was created in 2012 as a vehicle for the production and dissemination of Angolan science within the SADEC and CPLP cultural region. It is the result of researchers from the Instituto Superior Politécnico Tundavala do Lubango, the almost non-existence of Angolan vehicles for scientific dissemination, a fact that makes it difficult to publish research developed locally and by Angolan researchers, putting them at a disadvantage compared to other countries and regions. .

The evaluation is done anonymously (Double blind review), ensuring secrecy throughout the review process.
At the end of the evaluation, the accepted manuscripts will be sent to the authors so that any modifications can be made and so that they are aware of the changes to be introduced.
The authors must return the text with the requested modifications, justifying in the referral letter, if applicable, the reason for rejecting the evaluators' suggestions.
At the end of the process, the editorial committee will decide whether or not to approve the manuscript and its publication.

Psychological instruments consist of one of the most important tools of a psychological assessment and their use occurs in several contexts in which the psychologist works.

This is the case of the eight articles presented here.
