Given the importance of emotional self-regulation to a child’s ability to develop social competence and prosocial behavior, and the significant role early childhood teachers play in supporting young children’s emotional self-regulation, it is important to explore the concept from the perspective of teachers, or from the socio-cultural context through which they (i.e., teachers) make sense of the world. This study used an exploratory case study methodology to explore the understandings of emotional self-regulation among three Head Start teachers working with varying socio-cultural contexts and to identify the socio-cultural perspectives that influenced their ability to effectively apply their understandings. Findings indicate that while the participants’ definitions of emotional self- regulation were aligned with those that are commonly used in the field, it was their implementation of strategies that diverged, reflecting the influence of learning goals and varying socio-cultural contexts.

Orientador: Sandro Caramaschi / Resumo: Aspectos influenciadores no desenvolvimento humano incluem a interação de fatores ambientais e inatos, como a constituição histórica e biológica do indivíduo, envolvendo compartilhamento de experiências e características individuais nas quais estabelecem e modificam pensamentos, emoções e comportamentos de pessoas e grupos de forma dinâmica. Nesse sentido, as emoções pertenceriam a condições biológicas inatas universais, equivalentes a uma comunicação passível de ser compreendida em qualquer cultura, tendo funções importantes no processo evolutivo. A tristeza, enquanto emoção básica, é uma das mais intensas da vida humana comparada às outras, a qual nem sempre possui aspectos negativos. Desta forma, os objetivos deste trabalho foram identificar e analisar os desencadeadores de tristeza, o interesse dos indivíduos por estímulos com conteúdo triste (música, filmes e notícias), além de testar o modelo preditivo tendo a autoestima, autorregulação emocional e ruminação como preditoras e a tristeza como variável dependente, comparando os resultados entre homens e mulheres. Para responder os objetivos, foram realizados dois estudos: o primeiro, de caráter descritivo e comparativo, e o segundo, de caráter exploratório e comparativo. Os resultados mostraram que a tristeza pode ser desencadeada por diversos fatores, como questões financeiras, trabalho, estudo, relações interpessoais e perdas, se assemelhando com dados de pesquisas realizadas em outras culturas. Ademais, muitos particip...

In this way, emotions belong to universal innate biological conditions, equivalent to a communication that can be understood in any culture, having important functions in the evolutionary process. Sadness, as a basic emotion, is one of the most intense in human life compared to others, which does not always have negative aspects. Thus, the objectives of this work were to identify and analyze the triggers of sadness, the interest of individuals in stimuli with sad content (music, films and news), in addition to testing the predictive model with self-esteem, emotional self-regulation and rumination as predictors and sadness as a dependent variable, comparing the results between men and women. To answer the objectives, two studies were carried out: the first, descriptive and comparative, and the second, exploratory and comparative. The results showed that sadness can be triggered by several factors, such as financial issues, work, study, interpersonal relationships and losses, similar to data from research conducted in other cultures. In addition, many participants said they were interested in experiencing stimuli such as sad songs and movies, ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Emotion influences our actions, and this means that emotion has subjective decision value. Emotions, properly interpreted and understood, of those affected by decisions provide feedback to actions and, as such, serve as a basis for decisions. Accordingly, "affective computing" represents a wide range of technological opportunities toward the implementation of emotions to improve human-computer interaction, which also includes insights across a range of contexts of computational sciences into how we can design computer systems to communicate and recognize the emotional states provided by humans. Today, emotional systems such as software-only agents and embodied robots seem to improve every day at managing large volumes of information, and they remain emotionally incapable to read our feelings and react according to them. From a computational viewpoint, technology has made significant steps in determining how an emotional behavior model could be built; such a model is intended to be used for the purpose of intelligent assistance and support to humans. Human emotions are engines that allow people to generate useful responses to the current situation, taking into account the emotional states of others. Recovering the emotional cues emanating from the natural behavior of humans such as facial expressions and bodily kinetics could help to develop systems that allow recognition, interpretation, processing, simulation, and basing decisions on human emotions. Currently, there is a need to create emotional systems able to develop an emotional bond with users, reacting emotionally to encountered situations with the ability to help, assisting users to make their daily life easier. Handling emotions and their influence on decisions can improve the human-machine communication with a wider vision. The present thesis strives to provide an emotional architecture applicable for an agent, based on a group of decision-making models influenced by external emotional information provided by humans, acquired through a group of classification techniques from machine learning algorithms. The system can form positive bonds with the people it encounters when proceeding according to their emotional behavior. The agent embodied in the emotional architecture will interact with a user, facilitating their adoption in application areas such as caregiving to provide emotional support to the elderly. The agent's architecture uses an adversarial structure based on an Adversarial Risk Analysis framework with a decision analytic flavor that includes models forecasting a human's behavior and their impact on the surrounding environment. The agent perceives its environment and the actions performed by an individual, which constitute the resources needed to execute the agent's decision during the interaction. The agent's decision that is carried out from the adversarial structure is also affected by the information of emotional states provided by a classifiers-ensemble system, giving rise to a "decision with emotional connotation" included in the group of affective decisions. The performance of different well-known classifiers was compared in order to select the best result and build the ensemble system, based on feature selection methods that were introduced to predict the emotion. These methods are based on facial expression, bodily gestures, and speech, with satisfactory accuracy long before the final system. / <p>At the time of the doctoral defense, the following paper was unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 8: Accepted.</p>

A presente pesquisa investiga as estratégias de aprendizagem relatadas pelos alunos de 2ª, 4ª, 6ª e 8ª séries do Ensino Fundamental, de três escolas públicas do município de Hortolândia, sendo uma municipal (ensino de 1º ano a 4ª série) e duas estaduais (de 5ª a 8ª séries), em relação ao gênero, a idade, a série e ao rendimento escolar. Verifica ainda, se há correlação entre as estratégias de aprendizagem e a regulação emocional e entre as estratégias de aprendizagem e o tipo de motivação para aprender dos alunos. A amostra foi composta de 314 participantes, de ambos os sexos e com diferentes níveis de rendimento escolar, cuja faixa etária variou entre 7 a 17 anos. Para a coleta dos dados utilizou-se a Escala de Estratégias de Aprendizagem do Ensino Fundamental (EAEF), a Escala de Motivação para Aprender de Alunos do Ensino Fundamental (EMA), a Escala de Avaliação da Regulação Emocional para Estudantes do Ensino Fundamental (EREEF) e o Rendimento Escolar dos alunos nas disciplinas de Português e Matemática. As escalas foram aplicadas coletivamente, em duas sessões. Todos os itens foram lidos pela pesquisadora durante a aplicação. Os resultados mostraram diferença nas estratégias de aprendizagem quando consideradas em relação a gênero, idade, série e rendimento escolar, assim como existência de correlações entre as estratégias de aprendizagem e a motivação para aprender e entre as estratégias de aprendizagem e a regulação emocional. Espera-se que o conhecimento produzido pela presente pesquisa possa contribuir para futuros estudos e para a prática pedagógica dos docentes. / Abstract: Recent studies on learning strategies have revealed their importance to learning, once they contribute to increase school performance and the processing of information by the students. Hence, the current research investigates the learning strategies informed by second, fourth, sixth and eighth-grade students in Elementary School, from three public schools in the city of Hortolandia - one of them is municipal (first to fifth grades) and two are state-managed (sixth to ninth grades) - in relation to gender, age, grade and school performance. Additionally, it investigates if a correlation may be encountered between learning strategies and the emotional regulation and between learning strategies and the type of learning motivation present in students. The sample is constituted of 314 subjects, from both genders and with diverse school performance, ages ranging between 7 and 17 years old. Data collection has employed the Elementary School Learning Strategies Scale (EAEF), Elementary School Learning Motivation Scale (EMA), the Elementary School Emotional Regulation Evaluation Scale (EREEF) and students performance in the subjects Portuguese and Math. The scales were employed collectively, in two meetings. The researcher has read every item throughout the sections. The results have displayed some disparity between the learning strategies and the investigated variables: gender, age, grade and school performance, as well as existing correlations between learning strategies and learning motivation and between learning strategies and emotional regulation. There is the expectation that the data produced within this study be relevant not only to future researchers but also to educators to improve their pedagogical practice and the quality of the educational situations, fortifying, thus, the learning to learn process. / Mestrado / Psicologia Educacional / Mestre em Educação

This diploma thesis is proposing and evaluating a strategy of human resource management in the field of productivity of intellectual workers and students while using insights from scientific research on procrastination and productivity. The suggested strategy implements especially two methods that were found effective for lowering the rate of procrastination in latest scientific studies – the method of awareness and mindfulness and the method of journaling. This diploma thesis includes design and creation of an educational program consisting of video lessons in the field of time-management, techniques of mindfulness and awareness and the method of journaling. Furthermore, it includes running research with a group of students during an exam period, while all participants record information on using the above mentioned methods for the period of 15 days, while the logged information has combined nature between objective information on performance (data on usage of personal computer, data on the amount of work done and time spent on it) and self-evaluation information (subjective evaluation of daily performance and subjective evaluation of perceived daily happiness). This thesis evaluates the suggested strategy on the research sample of 15 university students and is using the methods of input and output questionnaire, same as analysis of the continuous data logged while journaling from the research participants, to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. The goal is to be able to apply this strategy in the business practice in human resource management. Another possible application is also improvement of study productivity of students using self-management techniques.
