A pertença estendida de adultos na família de origem é um fenômeno multideterminado, que envolve fatores econômicos, culturais, familiares e psíquicos, gerando insatisfação e sofrimento em adultos que estão nessa situação. O objetivo desta dissertação é a compreensão de motivos, intenções e sentidos que determinam essa pertença estendida. Para isso, utilizamos o referencial teórico psicanalítico, tanto para nos ajudar no método que fundamenta esta pesquisa quanto na discussão das informações obtidas no estudo de campo. Entender como percebem, vivem e quais sentidos esses adultos atribuem para a convivência familiar, além de identificar suas perspectivas para o futuro, como percebem a si mesmos e a sua família, foram os interesses que construíram este objeto de estudo. Pesquisamos esse fenômeno através de sete entrevistas semiestruturadas com adultos da classe média da cidade de São Paulo, entre 26 e 37 anos, cinco do sexo feminino e dois do sexo masculino, que estavam morando com suas famílias de origem em 2010. Da análise das entrevistas, alguns temas emergiram: família: cultura, tradição, história e estrutura; ser adulto; expectativas para o futuro; trabalho e remuneração: vida profissional; e relações fora da família. Constatamos nas dinâmicas familiares de alguns dos entrevistados uma relação do tipo simbiótico com a figura materna, como também uma situação financeira precária para possibilitar a saída da casa da família. A perspectiva de futuro, para alguns, inclui a saída da casa da família mediante novo rumo profissional ou casamento e, para outros, não há sentido em deixar a casa dos pais; há alguns benefícios por estar na casa dos pais, mas há, em todos os entrevistados, desconforto e um sentimento de fracasso, por não corresponderem às expectativas familiares e pessoais / The adults who remain with their original families are a multifactorial phenomenon, involving economic, cultural, familial and psychological factors, which generates discontentment and suffering for those who find themselves in this situation. The objective of this dissertation is the understanding of the motives, intentions and rationales that determine the prolonged stay of adults within their original families. In order to accomplish this, we used psychoanalytical theory both to aid our research design and to inform our analysis of the data collected through our fieldwork. Our interests in understanding how such adults perceive, attribute meaning to and live their everyday lives alongside their original families, and in identifying their perspectives on the future, themselves and their families have built the objectives of this study. We studied this phenomenon via semi-structured interviews with seven middle class adults from the city of São Paulo, aged between 26 and 37 years old, five women and two men, who lived with their original families in 2010. Some themes have emerged from the analysis of the interviews: family: culture, tradition, history and structure; being an adult; expectations about the future; work and salary: professional life; and relationships outside of the family. We ascertained in the family dynamic of some of our interviewees a symbiotic relationship with the mother figure, and also a precarious financial situation that hindered leaving the family home. The perspective of the future, to some, include leaving the family home in the case of a new professional/career path or marriage and, to others, it makes no sense to leave the parental home; there are some benefits in staying in the parental home, but in all interviewees there are a discomfort and a sense of failure, for not meeting familial and personal expectations

O objetivo é investigar em que medida os idosos, beneficiários do sistema de previdência social com alta abrangência (que os coloca numa situação econômica relativamente favorecida em relação aos grupos mais jovens), participam das dinâmicas de redistribuição desses benefícios nos hogares em que vivem com outras gerações. Com esse objetivo é elaborada uma caracterização dos hogares com idosos, considerando as condições de vida destes e as possíveis transferências de recursos e serviços dos quais participam. O estudo parte da hipótese de que a desigualdade sócio-econômica é peça chave para compreender as dinâmicas de transferências dentro e entre os hogares, assim como para delimitar as formas de solidariedade intergeracional nos mesmos / Abstract: This work outlines the framework of the family configurations in which the elderly population of Montevideo lives and the transfers they are involved. We will use data, obtained in 2001 and 2007, from the survey Encuesta Continua de Hogares of the Instituto Nacional de Estadística del Uruguay (National Institute of Statistics of Uruguay), and, also, from the survey on Health, Well-Being and Aging by the Pan American Health Organization of year 2000. The main objective is to investigate how older people, which are recipients of a broad social protection system and have an economic situation relatively better than the younger groups, participate of household intergenerational distribution dynamics. In order to achieve this goal, we elaborated a characterization of the elderly's households, considering the life conditions, the resources and service transfers in which they participate. The initial hypotheses is that the socioeconomic inequality is the key for understand the transfer dynamics into, and between the households and for delimiting the types (classes) of intergenerational solidarity / Mestrado / Mestre em Demografia

INTRODUÇÃO: o ambiente familiar tem sido amplamente relacionado ao uso de álcool na literatura. No entanto, poucos estudos abordam esta questão especificamente para famílias de mulheres alcoolistas. Neste trabalho procurou-se comparar aspectos do funcionamento familiar ao longo de três gerações: geração atual (companheiros e filhos), geração dos pais e irmãos e geração dos avós paternos e maternos de mulheres dependentes e não dependentes de álcool, a partir de seus próprios relatos. MÉTODOS: foram estudadas 30 mulheres alcoolistas que frequentavam o Programa de Atenção à Mulher Dependente Química (PROMUD) do Instituto de Psiquiatria do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo e 32 mulheres não alcoolistas que frequentavam o ambulatório de ginecologia geral do Departamento de Tocoginecologia do Hospital das Clínicas de Curitiba. Como instrumentos foram utilizados a construção do genograma familiar e a Family Environment Scale (FES). RESULTADOS: com relação aos dados sociodemográficos, as alcoolistas eram mais velhas, possuíam maior grau de escolaridade, um número menor de mulheres tinha companheiros e elas tinham menos filhos em comparação às mulheres do grupo controle. Observaram-se várias diferenças com relação à estrutura familiar sempre demonstrando que as famílias das alcoolistas são mais disfuncionais. Com relação às alianças, as alcoolistas possuíam alianças disfuncionais em vários pares de familiares: conflito com a mãe, companheiro e avô paterno, superenvolvimento com o pai e foi verificada a presença de conflito conjugal em todas as gerações. As famílias das alcoolistas se configuraram como superenvolvidas, com presença de triangulação, abuso físico, psicológico e/ou sexual e divórcio. O uso abusivo de álcool foi encontrado também nas mães e companheiros destas mulheres. As mães possuíam ainda o poder de decisão nestas famílias. Ao relacionar o momento de início do uso abusivo com as fases do ciclo de vida familiar, percebeu-se que as mulheres iniciaram o abuso de álcool com seus companheiros e quando os filhos eram pequenos ou adolescentes. Os resultados da FES mostraram diferença nas subescalas coesão, expressividade, conflito, organização e religião entre os grupos, sempre mostrando maior disfunção nas famílias das alcoolistas. CONCLUSÕES: estes achados reforçam a hipótese de que as famílias das mulheres alcoolistas são mais disfuncionais em vários aspectos e que muitos destes padrões disfuncionais são transmitidos ao longo das gerações. / INTRODUCTION: the literature has extensively reported the association between family environment and alcohol use. However, few studies have investigated this issue specifically in families of alcohol dependent women. The present study sought to compare aspects of family functioning over three generations: current generation (partners and children), generation of parents and siblings, and generation of paternal and maternal grandparents of alcohol dependent and non-dependent women based on their own accounts. METHODS: there were studied 30 alcohol dependent women who attended the Drug Dependent Women Treatment Center (PROMUD) at Clínicas Hospital Institute of Psychiatry of Universidade de São Paulo Medical School and 32 non-dependent women attending a general gynecology outpatient clinic of the Department of Obstetric and Gynecology at Clínicas Hospital in Curitiba. The study instruments included a family genogram especially constructed for this study and the Family Environment Scale (FES). RESULTS: alcohol dependent women were older and more educated, a smaller number of them had partners, and they had fewer children than controls. Several differences were found in family structure consistently indicating that the families of alcohol dependent women are more dysfunctional. These women established dysfunctional attachments with different family pairs: conflicts with their mothers, partners, and paternal grandfathers; overinvolvement of father and daughter; and conjugal conflicts in all generations. Families of alcohol dependent women are characteristically overinvolved showing triangulation, physical, psychological and/or sexual abuse, and divorce. Alcohol abuse was also found in these womens mothers and partners. Their mothers also held the power of decision in these families. When alcohol abuse was related to the phases of the family life cycle, it was found that these women started abusing alcohol with their partners when their children were little or adolescents. FES results showed differences between both groups studied in the subscales Cohesion, Expressiveness, Conflict, Organization, and Religion indicating that the families of these women were more dysfunctional. CONCLUSIONS: the study findings reinforce the hypothesis that the families of alcohol dependent women are generally more dysfunctional and that many of these dysfunctional behaviors are transmitted through generations.

The thesis deals with the relationship between seniors and preschool children, both within and outside the family circle. The theoretical part is focused on family, its function and historical transformation and shows the effects of today's family forms on intergenerational relationships. Further focus is on the encounter of children and seniors outside the family circle, particularly in terms of intergenerational programmes and activities. It defines the terms of age, preschool stage and specific needs connected with particular stages of life. The thesis explores other means of dealing with this issue (literature) and supports it. The aim of the study is to compare and contrast theoretical knowledge of today's family relationships with information obtained from a selected sample of families, and also to find out to what extent parents are aware of intergenerational programmes organized at their place of residence, ie in Prague 8. The practical part examines the support of the relationship between preschool children and seniors in selected kindergartens and the inclusion of this area into school educational programmes.

This Diploma thesis is focused on the social group of seniors and deals with issues of activation programs, intergenerational contact and management of volunteers at the Center of activation programs (CAP) at Prague 8. The theoretical part provides the theoretical and methodological thesis on the definition and definitions related to the senior age, intergenerational relations description and presentation of the functioning of social services in the Czech Republic with an emphasis on activation services for seniors. In the following chapters the theoretical part is examined in detail and the issue of volunteerism is discussed as well as the possibility of activation of seniors. The practical part presents concrete proposals for new programs for seniors organized by the CAP including a detailed description of their implementation and operational solutions. Second part of the practical section is devoted to a proposal to streamline the management of volunteers at the CAP. Conclusion evaluates the proposed solutions and their contribution to the CAP and especially for their clients, which are active seniors from Prague 8.

The main purpose of this study was to examine the Asian perspective in regard to the intergenerational solidarity framework developed by Bengtson and his colleagues. Focusing on normative solidarity and functional solidarity within Asian families, adult children's provision of assistance to elderly relatives was investigated in relation to norms of filial responsibility. A subsample of 109 employed Asian immigrants in Canada was selected from a national survey of Work and Family conducted by CARNET (The Canadian Aging Research Network). The study tested three hypotheses: 1) stronger norms of filial responsibility (normative solidarity) are positively associated with higher levels and more hours of assistance provided to elderly relatives (functional solidarity); 2) older age at immigration and/or shorter length of residence (immigrant status) are positively associated with higher levels and more hours of assistance provided to elderly relatives (functional solidarity); and 3) there is an interaction effect of norms of filial responsibility and immigrant status on levels and hours of assistance provided to elderly relatives. The results showed that there was no relationship between norms of filial responsibility and the provision of assistance to elderly relatives; nor was there a relationship between immigrant status and the provision of assistance to elderly relatives. Coresidence with the elderly relative, as an alternative measure of norms of filial responsibility in Asian families, was investigated with regard to the provision of assistance to the elderly relative in the post hoc analysis. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between coresidence and higher levels and more hours of assistance provided to elderly relatives. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

The purpose of this qualitative research study was to describe female adult children's experiences when they return to the parental home to live, and to develop theory to explain the processes and consequences involved in the return to the parental home. Primary data sources included 1 1/2 hour audiotaped, semi-structured interviews with 15 female adult children who had returned to the parental home to live. Other sources of data included individual and conjoint interviews with parents and daughters from a subset of four families, and field notes about the interviews. Grounded theory methodology (Strauss & Corbin, 1990, 1998) was used. Transcribed interviews were systematically analyzed to develop a theoretical model, in which the core social and psychological process was labelled "regrouping." In response to life events and personal choices, women return to the parental home to regroup--to recuperate, reenergize, contemplate and pursue lifeplans. Their intention is to enhance personal well-being and to secure a better quality life in the future. Regrouping is embedded in the life context of female adult children's specific life-events and choices, living environments, family and social relationships, and sociocultural scripts -- all conditions that can hinder or facilitate the process. Regrouping is a cyclical rather than a linear process. Female adult children who had returned to the parental home did not experience a simple, uncomplicated linear forward movement towards attaining valued personal goals. Rather, they experienced an oscillating pattern of “faltering” and "advancing" in their efforts to realize valued goals. This experience has implications for the development of a fluctuating sense of self or self-image, the fulfilment of personal goals, the quality of the experience as positive or negative, and for family relations. The contribution of the theoretical model to the literature is the discovery that returning home in adulthood may be a strategy for managing change and transition in one's life and for attaining certain lifespan development tasks (e.g., individuating from parents, establishing a career, and attaining financial security). Implications for counselling practice, and the self-help needs of adults who have returned home to live are noted. Suggestions for facilitating returning adult children's personal development (i.e., clarifying personal goals, weighing the pros and cons of returning and remaining at the parental home, maintaining self-esteem, seeking social support) and facilitating family relations . (i.e, having realistic expectations of parents, being sensitive to mothers, negotiating privacy and boundaries, managing cross-cultural dynamics) are discussed. It is suggested that future research extend the application of the theory to men, as well as more diverse ethnic groups. / Education, Faculty of / Educational and Counselling Psychology, and Special Education (ECPS), Department of / Graduate

O objetivo central é compreender como as experiências de envelhecimento e sexualidade nas fases mais avançadas da vida são narradas por homens que se utilizam de sites que propiciam interações homoeróticas pela internet. Com essa finalidade - e tendo como base uma metodologia qualitativa, envolvendo entrevistas em profundidade, conversas informais on line e presenciais, assim como observação participante - as seguintes questões foram exploradas: a circulação e administração de categorias sociais de nomeação associadas à valorização ou depreciação de homens maduros com práticas sexuais homoeróticas; a instituição narrativa de distintas temporalidades e sensibilidades geracionais; o modo pelo qual modelos positivos de envelhecimento entre homens com práticas sexuais homoeróticas e/ou que se identificam como homossexuais tem sido gestados; as percepções êmicas relativas às transformações sócio-espaciais quanto às práticas e identidades homossexuais nas últimas décadas e, por fim, as formas singulares de gestão pessoal das fontes de suporte social no envelhecimento desses indivíduos. O universo pesquisado é composto por homens que, em sua maioria, consideravam-se de classes médias, brancos, com formação educacional relativamente alta, profundamente imiscuídos nas interações mediadas pela internet, que estão entre os 45 e os 70 anos de idade e são residentes na região metropolitana da cidade de São Paulo. Para esse público a inserção nas interações sociais mediadas pela internet, em grande medida, impactou positivamente os horizontes de possibilidades tanto de homens com práticas sexuais homoeróticas e que não se identificam como homossexuais, quanto para aqueles que o fazem. Essa inserção foi narrada como possibilitando a constituição ampliada de novas amizades e de relacionamentos erótico-afetivos no contemporâneo. Ademais, em contraposição a uma das versões do que se convencionou chamar de Gerontologia LGBT - a qual frisa cenários mais "vitimizantes", "desempoderados" e fundados em estruturas de submetimento e depreciação erótico-social com o avanço da idade ¿ esse trabalho atentou para as formas de negociação e de agência desses homens frente às oportunidades e os desafios que eles eventualmente afirmavam enfrentar no decorrer de suas vidas e em particular em seus processos de envelhecimento / Abstract: This ethnography examines the intertwining of social markers such as aging, middle age, old age, sexuality, homoeroticism and intergenerational relations. The central goal is to understand how the experiences of aging and sexuality later in life are narrated by men who use websites that provide homoerotic interactions. To this end - and based on a qualitative methodology involving in-depth interviews, "on line" and "off line" informal conversations as well as participant observation - the following questions were explored: a) the management of social categories associated to mature men with homoerotic sexual practices; b) the narrative construction of temporal and generational sensibilities; c) the ways in which positive models of aging among men with homoerotic sexual practices and / or that identify themselves as homosexual have been gestated; d) the perceptions concerning the socio-spatial transformations regarding homosexual practices and identities in recent decades and, finally, e) the management of the social support networks in the aging processes of these individuals. The universe studied is composed of men who, in most cases, considered themselves as middle class, white, with a moderately high educational background, deeply involved in on line interactions, which have between 45 and 70 years old and live in São Paulo. For these men on line interactions have impacted in a positive way. These interactions were narrated as enabling significant new friendships and erotic relationships. Moreover, in contrast to some authors of the so-called LGBT Gerontology - who tend to overemphasize victimizing and disempowered scenarios as years go by - this work has foregrounded some relevant forms of agency throughout the lives and aging processes of the men who made part of my research / Doutorado / Antropologia Social / Doutor em Antropologia Social

A primeira etapa abordou a validação semântica e cultural da Intergenerational Exchanges Attitude Scale (IEAS) para a língua portuguesa do Brasil. Esse processo envolveu as seguintes fases: tradução inicial da IEAS; síntese das traduções; retrotradução; revisão e pré-teste. A escala sofreu alterações orientadas ao seu refinamento cultural e a IEAS está adaptada e validada para a população brasileira com a denominação Escala de Atitudes em relação a Trocas Intergeracionais (EATI). A segunda parte do estudo derivou evidências de validade de construto para a EATI e investigou correlações entre os itens dos fatores dessa escala com os domínios da Escala de Crenças em relação à Velhice. A EATI apresentou três fatores e foram obtidos valores mais elevados para a escala como um todo (?=0,80) e para o Fator 3 - Percepções sobre a interação entre crianças e idosos (?=0,80) e, em seguida, para o Fator 1 - Percepções sobre atitudes de crianças em relação a idosos (?=0,79) e para o Fator 2 - Percepções sobre atitudes de idosos em relação às crianças (?=0,73). Mesmo sendo estatisticamente significativas, as correlações entre os itens dos fatores da EATI e os domínios da Escala de Crenças em Relação à Velhice foram baixas. Por fim, a terceira parte deste estudo descreveu e comparou o comportamento de um grupo de idosos e de um grupo de profissionais na presença da EATI. Em comparação com os profissionais, os idosos apresentaram de modo mais negativo Percepções sobre atitudes de crianças em relação a idosos (p<0,001) e expressaram mais positivamente Percepções sobre atitudes de idosos em relação às crianças (p<0,001). Verificou-se diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os idosos que convivem e os que não têm convivência com crianças para o escore do fator Percepções sobre a interação entre crianças e idosos, sendo mais negativas nos idosos que não convivem com crianças (p=0,003). Os profissionais que trabalham com grupos intergeracionais apresentaram de modo mais positivo Percepções sobre a interação entre crianças e idosos (p=0,015) em relação aos profissionais que trabalham apenas com idosos. Conclui-se que a EATI pode ser uma ferramenta útil para programas que realizam atividades entre crianças e idosos, bem como para profissionais que desenvolvem ações intergeracionais. Além disso, a EATI apresentou boa confiabilidade interna, o que permite recomendar seu uso no Brasil em estudos descritivos e de intervenção / Abstract: Abstract: This study consisted of three stages and the sample consisted of 148 elderly and 52 professionals bound to continuing education programs. The first stage tackled the semantic and cultural validation of Intergenerational Exchanges Attitude Scale (IEAS) into Portuguese of Brazil. This process involved the following phases: initial translation of IEAS; synthesis of translations; back translation; review and pretest. The scale has changed oriented to their cultural refinement and IEAS is adapted and validated for the Brazilian population with the denomination Escala de Atitudes em relação a Trocas Intergeracionais (EATI). The second part of the study derived evidence of construct validity for EATI and investigated correlations between items of the factors that scale with areas of Escala de Crenças em Relação à Velhice. The EATI presented three factors were obtained and higher values for the scale as a whole (? = 0.80) and Factor 3 - Perceptions about the interaction between children and the elderly (? = 0.80) and then for Factor 1 - Perceptions of attitudes of children toward elderly (? = 0.79) and for Factor 2 - Perceptions of elderly attitudes towards children (? = 0.73). Even though statistically significant, correlations between items of the EATI factors and areas of Escala de Crenças em Relação à Velhice were low. Finally, the third part of this study described and compared the behavior of a group of elderly and a group of professionals in the presence of EATI. Compared with professionals, the elderly showed more negative way perceptions of attitudes of children toward elderly (p <0.001) and expressed more positive perceptions of elderly attitudes towards children (p <0.001). There was a statistically significant difference among the elderly that living together and those not living together with children for to score factor Perceptions about the interaction between children and the elderly, being more negative in the elderly who do not live with children (p = 0.003). Professionals working with intergenerational groups presented more positively perceptions of the interaction between children and the elderly (p = 0.015) compared to those working only with older people. It concludes that the EATI can be a useful tool for programs that perform activities among children and the elderly as well as for professionals who develop intergenerational activities. In addition, the EATI had good internal reliability, enabling recommend its use in Brazil in descriptive and intervention studies / Mestrado / Gerontologia / Mestra em Gerontologia
