Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Psicologia, Florianópolis, 2017. / Made available in DSpace on 2018-01-16T03:24:07Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 349119.pdf: 2962363 bytes, checksum: 7238052f513c3e78ad6c41250135897a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017 / Essa pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender a motivação dos militares brasileiros expatriados para participar da missão de paz no Haiti. Utilizou-se a Teoria da Autodeterminação como referencial teórico, pois aborda a motivação em um continuum constituído das dimensões: motivação autônoma, que é composta pela motivação intrínseca, identificada e integrada; e a motivação controlada, que é constituída pela motivação introjetada e extrínseca. Foram analisadas estas dimensões da motivação, bem como o processo de expatriação dos militares que investigou as seguintes categorias: choque cultural, adaptação ao idioma local, mudanças na rotina, tempo de permanência, meios de comunicação, distanciamento da família e lazer para participar da missão de paz no Haiti. A presente pesquisa é de natureza exploratória, que se utiliza de procedimentos mistos (quantitativa e qualitativa) e foram realizadas em dois estudos, sendo um de corte transversal, com toda a população de militares brasileiros recrutados no sul do país para participar da missão e uma segunda investigação de corte longitudinal. A coleta de dados ocorreu, em ambos os casos, em três momentos, quais foram, antes de embarcarem para o Haiti (N=425), durante a missão T2 (N=508), e no retorno ao Brasil T3 (N=593). No estudo longitudinal a amostra foi constituída pelos mesmos militares nos três momentos (n=90). Realizou-se, também, seis entrevistas com os mesmos militares nos três momentos da missão de paz no Haiti. Para os tratamentos estatísticos, utilizou-se o software SPSS (Statiscal Package for the Social Sciences) versão 19.0, aplicando os módulos da Estatística Descritiva, Análise Fatorial Exploratória e Confirmatória, Teste t e Análise de variância (ANOVA). As entrevistas foram categorizadas e avaliadas pela análise de conteúdo. Na análise quantitativa sobre motivação, os índices foram elevados para a motivação intrínseca, demostrando que os militares, quando partiram nesta missão, o fizeram por vontade, prazer e satisfação. Desde o início da missão até o seu final, vislumbraram uma oportunidade de desenvolvimento de competências e de obtenção de recompensas intrínsecas, bem como, oportunidade de obterem maior reconhecimento dos seus pares, do que uma recompensa monetária extra. Os resultados da análise de conteúdo demonstram altos níveis de correspondência das respostas dos militares, no que se refere à motivação autônoma e controlada. Isso quer dizer que, de acordo com o sentido atribuído as ações humanas, pode-se internalizá-las e regulá-las de acordo com o tipo de motivação envolvida: intrínseca, identificada, integrada, introjetada e extrínseca. No processo de expatriação, os índices obtidos foram elevados em relação ao ajustamento e a adaptação dos militares nas atribuições que envolvem a missão de paz no exterior. Inicialmente, o processo de expatriação causa descobertas e desafios, mas ao longo da convivência em outro país, a adaptação se constrói a partir das situações favoráveis. A motivação intrínseca foi predominante, pois os militares expatriados foram motivados por aspectos intrínsecos, mas a expatriação mesmo que tenha ocorrido sem choques culturais significativos, fez com que o contraste entre a vida no Brasil e a miséria no Haiti levasse os militares a valorizar mais as pequenas coisas, que se tornaram significativas para as suas vidas. / Abstract : This research aimed to comprehend the motivation of expatriated militaries to join the peacekeeping mission in Haiti. It was used the Self-determination Theory as a theoretical framework that addresses the motivation in a continuum consisting of the dimensions: Autonomous motivation which is composed by intrinsic motivation, identified and integrated, and the controlled motivation which is constituted by intrinsic motivation and extrinsic. It was analyzed those dimensions of motivation as well as the expatriation process of militaries to participate in the peacekeeping mission in Haiti. The present research is exploratory, it uses mixed procedures (quantitative and qualitative), cross-sectional and longitudinal design. For data collection it was used as instruments the questionnaire and the interview. The samples in this study were composed of militaries who participated in the peacekeeping mission in Haiti in the steps that occurred in three stages T1 (before leaving to the mission), T2 (in Haiti) and T3 (after coming back to Brazil). The data collection and analysis was organized in two studies: One being in a transversal section with all the population of Brazilian militaries recruited in the south of the country to join the mission and another second investigation of longitudinal section. The data collection took place, in both cases, in three moments, before going to Haiti (n=425), during the mission T2 (n=508), back to Brazil T3 (n=593). In the longitudinal study, the sample was made by the same militaries in the three moments (N=90). It was also done six interviews with the same militaries in the three moments of the peacekeeping mission in Haiti. For the analysis it was performed statistical treatments, with the use of SPSS software (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 19.0, applying the modules of descriptive statistics, Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Test t, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). In relation to the interviews they were categorized and analyzed by content analysis. In the quantitative analysis on motivation the indexes were high in intrinsic motivation, which demonstrates that the military when they went on this mission, made it by will, pleasure and satisfaction. Since the beginning of the mission until its end the participants envisioned an opportunity for skills development and attainment of intrinsic rewards, but also the opportunity to gain greater recognition of their peers than a monetary reward. The results of the content analysis demonstrate high levels of correspondence of responses of the military with regard to motivation specifically autonomous intrinsic motivation that corroborates with the quantitative results. The soldiers stood out in their verbalizations. In the expatriation process the contents of the quantitative study obtained were increasing in relation to the adjustment and adaptation of the military in assignments that involve the peace mission abroad. In this qualitative study found differences in the expatriation process that this question discoveries and challenges, but along the coexistence in another country and adaptation is built from the favorable situations. The intrinsic motivation was predominant, because the expatriated militaries were motivated by intrinsic aspects, but the expatriation even without significant cultural shock, made the contrast between life in Brazil and the poverty in Haiti took the militaries to give more value to small significant things to their lives in their return.

Para isso, comparam-se as duas missões segundo sua principal diferença – o conceito de segurança por trás dos discursos, das práticas e dos resultados obtidos. A United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIH) foi centrada na segurança internacional, enquanto a United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) está mais baseada na segurança humana. Os antecedentes históricos do Haiti são apresentados para identificar as causas da instabilidade crônica do país, da predominância do autoritarismo e da violência no processo político e da falta de valores democráticos na sociedade haitiana. Pela análise do discurso das Resoluções do Conselho de Segurança da ONU identificam-se as principais políticas e decisões da Organização em relação ao Haiti. Pelo estudo das diferentes práticas e resultados alcançados em cada intervenção conclui-se que a introdução do conceito de segurança humana na MINUSTAH tem contribuído para processos de construção do Estado e democratização mais amplos e que a última intervenção tem alcançado melhores resultados para a população haitiana do que a UNMIH. _______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This thesis aims to analyze the United Nations interventions in Haiti during the years of 1993-1996 and 2004-2008, in order to evaluate the contribution to the state-building and democratization of the country. For this purpose, the two missions are compared according their main difference – the concept of security behind the discourses, practices and achieved results. The United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIH) was focused on international security whereas the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) is more based on human security. The history of Haiti is presented to identify the causes of permanent instability, predominance of authoritarianism and violence in the political process and lack of democratic values in the Haitian society. Analyzing the discourse of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions, the main policies and decisions of the Organization relating to Haiti are described. After studying the different practices and achieved results in each intervention it is possible to conclude that the introduction of the concept of human security in MINUSTAH has been contributing to broader state-building and democratization processes and that the last intervention has been achieving better results for the Haitian population than UNMIH.

In 2010, an earthquake in Haiti's capital city, Port-au-Prince, shook deeply both physical and governmental structures, placing most of its nationals at the poverty line. The difficulty of coming across employment and the proximity to Brazilians who were in Haiti through the UN Peacekeeping Troops (MINUSTAH) provided them with a vision of a prosperous, welcoming Brazil with employment opportunities. The arrival of Haitians to Brazil was widely publicized and reported by the media, narrating fragments of the identity from the Haitian immigrant, constructing and transforming concepts with regards to Haiti and the Haitians in the conscience of the Brazilian inhabitants. Such project aims to bring narratives with regards to Haitians, through electronic journals and interviews with Foz do Iguaçu organs which act directly onto Haitian immigration. In the introduction, the theoretical-methodological aspects of the research are presented. In its first chapter, a mapping regarding the news published in periodicals categorized by themes which emerged according to the study is carried out. In its second chapter, narratives are shown through interviews with Sister Terezinha Mezzalira from Casa do Migrante and Anderson Vargas de Lima from NUMIG - Federal Police, dealing with the process of entry and insertion of the Haitian in the region of Foz do Iguaçu-PR. In its third chapter, a discussion regarding the image of the Haitian which is passed through the narratives and what interferences such displacement brings to the Haitian is thus brought. / Desde 1500 o Brasil é formado por diversas ondas migratórias. Em 2010, um terremoto na capital do Haiti, Porto Príncipe, abalou profundamente as estruturas físicas e governamentais, fazendo com que a maioria de seus nacionais estivesse na linha da pobreza. A dificuldade de encontrar emprego e a proximidade com os brasileiros que estavam no Haiti através das Tropas de Paz da ONU (MINUSTAH) trouxeram uma visão de um Brasil próspero, acolhedor e com oportunidades de emprego. A vinda dos haitianos para o Brasil foi amplamente divulgada e noticiada pela mídia, narrando fragmentos da identidade do haitiano imigrante, construindo e transformando conceitos a respeito do Haiti e dos haitianos na consciência do brasileiro. Este trabalho tem como objetivo trazer narrativas a respeito dos haitianos através de periódicos eletrônicos e entrevistas com órgãos de Foz do Iguaçu que atuam diretamente sobre a imigração haitiana. Na introdução, são apresentados os aspectos teórico-metodológicos da pesquisa. No primeiro capítulo, é realizado um mapeamento das notícias publicadas em periódicos categorizadas por temas que surgiram conforme o estudo. No segundo capítulo, narrativas são mostradas através de entrevistas com a Irmã Terezinha Mezzalira da Casa do Migrante e de Anderson Vargas de Lima da NUMIG – Polícia Federal, tratando a respeito do processo de entrada e inserção do haitiano na região de Foz do Iguaçu-PR. No terceiro capítulo, discussões sobre a imagem do haitiano passada pelas narrativas e quais as interferências que este deslocamento traz ao haitiano são trazidas.

The determinants of malnutrition in Haiti

Smith, Meredith Ford 08 September 2012 (has links)
Socio-economic, education, and health variables were examined to determine the primary causes of malnutrition in preschool Haitian children. A survey of 160 women and their child closest to weaning age was conducted in three regions of Haiti in January 1978. Ordinary least squares multiple regression analysis was used to determine the combined power of the socio-economic, education, and health variables and the relative power of each independent variable separately in explaining malnutrition in the sample population. Results showed that the amount of food or food money available had the greatest impact on the child's current nutritional status as, measured by weight/age. Long term malnutrition, as measured by height, age, was most affected by education. Health variables as a group were least effective in explaining malnutrition although the number of illnesses a child had had was highly related to malnutrition. A strong interaction between weaning age and months spent in a nutrition center suggested that children who were weaned early were more likely to become severely malnourished and required longer periods of nutritional rehabilitation than children who were weaned later. Recommendations were made to incorporate the findings into current nutrition center programs in Haiti. / Ph. D.

After the Dust Settles: Experiences of Haitian Earthquake Survivors and Implications for Psychosocial Support

Saint-Jean, Florence 18 May 2016 (has links)
On January 12, 2010, a 7.0 wide magnitude earthquake hit Haiti and thousands of Haitians were left to cope with the aftermath, and many mental health concerns began to surface (Amnesty International, 2011; Cénat & Derivois, 2014). The main purpose of this study is to understand post-earthquake psychosocial issues in the Haitian context by studying the experiences of Natives in Haiti. This study provides implications for counseling support from international emergency response workers, counselors, counselor educators interested in providing mental health training in Haiti or other developing countries, and researcher's interested in increasing knowledge that has real impact on mental health issues in Haiti. This study aims to answer: "What are the experiences of Haitian Natives post-2010 earthquake in Haiti and the implications for providing appropriate post-crisis psychosocial support?" <br>This qualitative inquiry used Bronfenbrenner's bio-ecological model of human development (Bronfenbrenner, 2005) as a theoretical framework. Seven Haitian Natives who survived the earthquake in La Ville, Haiti shared their beliefs, personal narratives, and the culturally responsive care they received after the earthquake. Some of the participants also took part in a focus group. Informants' responses were translated and transcribed, and Interpretative Phenomenology Analysis (IPA) was used to analyze the transcription and field notes. Conceptual models captured the process and outcomes of psychosocial issues related to post-earthquake context in this study and were compared with previously developed conceptual frameworks. The findings of the study yielded nine themes and 27 sub themes. The findings suggest that the interviewee's experiences were both negative and positive. Some of the negative experiences were continuous trauma symptoms such as panic, worry, and fear. Some of the positive experiences were unity, leadership development, posttraumatic growth, and new appreciation for professional mental health. Based on the conclusions and results from this study, implications will be stated as they relate to practice, teaching, and scholarship. / School of Education; / Counselor Education and Supervision (ExCES) / PhD; / Dissertation;

A Leaky House: Haiti in the Religious Aftershocks of the 2010 Earthquake

Payne, Nichole 06 September 2012 (has links)
My research explores nation building, religious conflict and Christian democratization in Post-earthquake Haiti. Christians I spoke with blamed Vodou for the destructive quake. In Haiti, Vodouisants now require UN protection to practice their faith. The thick religious tension in Haiti post-earthquake could portend deep political riffs and dangerous religious persecution. What is more, the quake has effectively shut down government, leaving in its wake essentially an NGO Republic. Moreover, some sectors of the population, particularly the very poor in the black majority, have been converting to evangelical Christianity at very high rates. About the conversions Vodouisants say, "Kay koule twompe soley soley men li pa twompe lapil." A leaky house can fool the sun, but it can't fool the rain. I took this notion of a leaky house from the discussion with a Vodouisant research participant who often compared the massive conversions to an incomplete and quick cover for the inner turmoils of the Haitian subject. I expanded this phrase to work as analogy for the significant evangelical/NGO infrastructure in Haiti. Can this leaky house last as the pseudo-governmental body of Haiti? Problem: A devastating 7.0 Earthquake rocked Haiti on January 12th, 2010. By January 24th, at least 52 aftershocks measuring 4.5 or greater had been recorded (CBS News 2010). Cite’ De Soleil has turned into a devastating battleground-- Vodouisants against Christians. Christian evangelicals have a carte blanche to intervene into the lives of devastated Haitians, also into the Haitian government. Struggling with insufficient capacity in the face of overwhelming poverty and environmental disasters, the Haitian government has capsized in what many are calling a religious coup d’état. At least 10,000 religious non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are operating in Haiti. Against this background, the actual hypothesis to be tested in this research is that the conversion from Vodou to most sectors of evangelical Christianity and the subsequent violence against Vodou practitioners is, in the case of some of my research participants, actually a modality for expatriation from, or incorporation into, the New Haitian body politic.

Responsible advertising in Haiti

Mégie, Annick 16 April 2013 (has links)
Haiti’s advertising industry has sparked a lot of controversies within the nation in the past few years for its violations of ethics and disregard for the level of sophistication of its audience in its messages. At the local level, no legislation is set in place to protect this vulnerable population which, for the vast majority, is illiterate. Developed countries have established rules and legislation that protect consumers, particularly vulnerable consumers, from advertising’s potential harm. Little attention has been given to populations in developing countries, such as Haiti, where there is no control or regulation of advertising. In this paper, the author takes a look at the characteristics of the Haitian population and draws on examples from the local press and her direct experience as a professional in the field in order to illustrate the controversy that surrounds advertising in that country. The goal is to highlight the need for local practitioners to work towards industry guidelines that will allow for more responsible advertising in the country. / text

Curiosity Seekers, Time Travelers, and Avant-Garde Artists: U.S. American Literary and Artistic Responses to the Occupation of Haiti (1915-1934)

Stevens, Shelley P 15 December 2013 (has links)
U.S. American literary and creative artists perform the work of developing a discursive response to two critical moments in Haitian history: the Revolution (1791-1804) and the U.S. Marine Occupation (1915 to 1934), inspiring imaginations and imaginary concepts. Revolutionary images of Toussaint Louverture proliferated beyond the boundaries of Haiti illuminating the complicity of colonial powers in maintaining notions of a particularized racial discourse. Frank J. Webb, a free black Philadelphian, engages a scathing critique of Thomas Carlyle’s sage prose “On the Negro Question” (1849) through the fictional depiction of a painted image of Louverture in Webb’s novel The Garies and their Friends (1857). Travel writing and ethnographies of the Occupation provide platforms for new forms of artistic production involving Vodou. Following James Weldon Johnson’s critique of U.S. policy (1920), others members of the Harlem Renaissance provide a counter narrative that reengages particular U.S. readers with Haiti’s problematic Revolution through the visual and literary lens of the Occupation experience. The pseudo journalism of William Seabrook's The Magic Island (1929) serves as the poto mitan (center point) around which other creative works produced after the Occupation appear. Katherine Dunham, Zora Neale Hurston, and Maya Deren followed in Seabrook’s wake. Literature, performances, and film, as well as complementary ethnographic records for each follow from Dunham (Dances of Haiti, 1983), Hurston (Tell My Horse, 1938), and Deren (Divine Horsemen, 1953). The artistic production of these significant cultural producers may better represent their experience of fieldwork in Haiti following the Occupation. Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937), Dunham’s exposure of Haitian dances across the world stage, and Deren’s experimental films better capture the reciprocal effect of the ethnographic process on each in their continued presentation to contemporary audiences. Literature directly related to their production appears later in Ishmael Reed’s Mumbo Jumbo (1972), Arthur Flowers’s Another Good Loving Blues (1993), Edwidge Danticat’s Breath, Eyes, Memory (1994), and Nalo Hopkinson’s The Salt Roads (2005). These productive literatures and art forms actively engage in creating the transnational ideal of diaspora as we understand it today. All dance delicately with spirit.
