Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / A empatia, definida como a habilidade de compartilhar, compreender e de expressar o entendimento dos pensamentos e sentimentos dos outros, tem sido amplamente estudada. As trajetórias de desenvolvimento, que representam os diversos caminhos que o desenvolvimento do self pode tomar, também têm sido amplamente estudadas por pesquisadores transculturais, geralmente em contextos prototípicos e envolvendo três modelos de desenvolvimento do self: autonomia, interdependência e autonomia relacionada. Estudos anteriores mostraram que os participantes do Rio de Janeiro tendem para a autonomia relacionada, equlibrando características autônomas e relacionais, que são parte do nosso ambiente sociocultural, no qual habilidades sociais, como a empatia, são requeridas. O desenvolvimento da empatia pode ser relacionado à demanda ambiental por comportamentos, de acordo com aspectos sociodemográficos e valores compartilhados. Esta tese visa apresentar dados de 106 famílias do Rio de Janeiro: pai (idade média M = 51,6 anos), mãe (idade média M = 48,3 anos) e seus filhos jovens (17-25 anos, idade média M = 20,9 anos, 67,9% mulheres). A maioria dos pais, mães e dos filhos tinham Ensino Superior incompleto ou acima. Este estudo objetivou investigar a relação entre empatia e os modelos de desenvolvimento de self e a transmissão transgeracional em contexto não prototípico. O Inventário de Empatia de Falcone e colaboradores (IE) foi utilizado para avaliar a empatia. As Escalas de Desenvolvimento do Self de Kağitçibaşi (EDS), (Self Autônomo (AutS), Self Interdependente (IntS) de Self Autônomo-Relacionado (ARS)) foram utilizadas para avaliar o modelo de desenvolvimento do self. Filhos também responderam quantas horas semanais conviviam com pais e mães. Testes t pareados mostraram, como esperado, que os escores de ARS foram os mais altos para todos os participantes. Correlações de Pearson foram feitas entre os escores de IE e EDS de ambos os pais e filhos. Os escores de ARS de pais, mães e filhos correlacionaram-se positivamente, assim como seus escores de IE. Examinando entre instrumentos, para pais e filhos, altos escores em ARS foram correlacionados a altos escores de IE. O tempo de convívio relatado entre pais e filhos correlacionou-se com IntS e IE dos pais. Para testar o modelo teórico proposto de ARS de pais e mães e dos filhos e a empatia de ambos os pais como preditores da empatia dos filhos, análises de regressão foram utilizadas. A empatia dos pais e das mães previu, separadamente, a empatia dos filhos, mas não em conjunto. Nenhum dos escores ARS dos participantes previu o IE dos filhos. Estes resultados favorecem a hipótese da prevalência de selves autônomo-relacionados no Rio de Janeiro. Pais, mães e filhos mostraram similaridades e tiveram relações importantes entre seus escores de EDS, assim como para o IE. Apesar de o modelo com todos juntos não ter sido significativo, separadamente o IE de pais e de mães predisse o IE dos filhos. Este resultado sugere que a empatia parental pode ter algum efeito sobre a dos filhos jovens, mas não o modelo parental de desenvolvimento do self, inesperadamente. De modo interessante, os pais apresentaram um papel importante no desenvolvimento de seus filhos / Empathy, defined as the ability to share, comprehend and express understanding of others thoughts and feelings, is broadly studied. Developmental trajectories, that represent the diverse pathways that self development can take, have also been widely studied by cross-cultural researchers, generally in prototypical contexts and involving three models of self development: autonomy, interdependency and autonomy-relatedness. Previous studies have shown Rio de Janeiros participants tend towards related-autonomy, balancing autonomous and relational characteristics that are part of our sociocultural environment, in which social abilities, like empathy, are required. The development of empathy can be related to environmental demand to behave, according to socio-demographic aspects and shared values. This dissertation aims to present data from 106 families from Rio de Janeiro: father (mean age M = 51.6 yrs.), mother (mean age M = 48.3 yrs.) and their grown-up children (17-25 yrs., mean age M = 20.9 yrs., 67.9% were daughters). Most fathers, mothers and adolescents had incomplete college degree or higher. This study aimed at investigating the relation between empathy and the models of self development and the transgenerational transmission in a non prototypical context. Falcone and collaborators Inventory of Empathy (IE) was used to assess empathy. Kağitçibaşis Self Development Scales (SDS), (Autonomous Self (AutS), Interdependent Self (IntS) and Autonomous-Related Self (ARS) scales) were used to assess the model of self development. Adolescents also reported how many hours a week they lived with each one of their parents. Paired sample t tests showed, as expected, that scores on ARS were the highest scale for all participants. Pearson correlations were made between parents and adolescents IE and SDS scores. Fathers, mothers and adolescents ARS scores were all positively correlated, so as their IE scores. Examining between instruments, for both fathers and adolescents, higher ARS scores were correlated with their higher IE scores. The time adolescents reported living with fathers was correlated with fathers IntS and IE scores. In order to test the proposed theoretical model of parents and adolescents ARS and parents empathy as predictors of adolescents empathy, regression analyses were used. Fathers and mothers empathy predicted separately adolescents empathy, but not together. None of the participants ARS scores predicted adolescents IE. These results favor the hypothesis of prevalence of autonomous-related selves in Rio de Janeiro. Parents and adolescents showed similarities and had important relation between their SDS scores, so as for their IE. Despite not being significant in a model with them all together, separately, each fathers and mothers IE predicted adolescents IE. This result suggests parental empathy may have some effect on adolescents empathy, but not parental self development model, unexpectedly. Interestingly, fathers have shown an important role in their grown-up childrens development

This essay studies the intergenerational transmission of education in four European countries, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. Ordinal variables are used to distinguish between low, middle and high education for both the respondent and the respondent´s parents. The main findings are that Portugal has the highest intergenerational transmission of education from parents to children. Spain is on a second place, Norway on a third and on a last place, Sweden. Another finding is that the respondent´s that are 50-60 years old have a significantly higher risk of being low educated and a lower chance of being highly educated in comparison to the respondent´s that are 30-40 years old. Having a highly educated parent increases the chance of being highly educated and decreases the risk of being low educated in comparison to having a low educated parent. Having a low educated parent decreases the chance of being highly educated and increases the risk of being low educated in comparison to having a highly educated parent.

Diplomová práce Proces vzniku hodnot: Mezigenerační přenos v rodině se zabývá procesem přenosu hodnotových orientací na individuální úrovni. Cílem práce je zjistit, zda a za jakých podmínek dochází k přenosu hodnot mezi generacemi v kontextu socio-profesní třídy. Práce se opírá o Kohnovu hypotézu, která tvrdí, že hodnoty jsou také kromě samotného procesu socializace formovány pracovní pozicí jednotlivců. Práce je rozdělena do dvou částí. Teoretická část pojednává o hodnotách, samotné socializaci jedince a shrnuje také poznatky Kohnovy práce, která se zabývá zejména diferenciací hodnot na základě profesních tříd. Analytická část se opírá o data z výzkumu "Distinkce a hodnoty 2008". Pozornost je zaměřena na zkoumání výchovných hodnot (které vlastnosti by měli být v dětech doma podporovány). Analytická část se také dělí na dva základní okruhy. První je věnován analýze hodnot potomků i rodičů skrze jednotlivé profesní třídy. Druhý okruh se věnuje přenosu jednotlivých hodnotových typů mezi generacemi. Klíčová slova Hodnoty, funkce hodnot, přenos hodnot, hodnotové orientace, socializace, socializační mediátoři, Kohnova hypotéza. Annotation The thesis The process of value formation: intergenerational transmission in family deals with the transmission of value orientations on the individual level. The aim...

Prior research has suggested that children are at a greater risk of maladjustment in cases where a parent has experienced childhood maltreatment. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of parent's childhood maltreatment in its effects on parenting behavior, parent characteristics, and child adjustment. The multiple pathways through which parent's childhood maltreatment can be both directly and indirectly linked to child maladjustment were explored. Further, risk and protective factors, such as early age of becoming a parent or high parent education, which may play a role were examined as both potential moderators and mediators of the relation between parent's childhood maltreatment and children's maladjustment. Overall, several of the hypothesized pathways were supported. In particular, parent depression and parent's socio-demographic factors were found to act as mediators and moderators of the relations between parent's childhood maltreatment and child maladjustment. There was lesser evidence of child maltreatment behaviors and parenting behaviors mediating or moderating the relations between parent's childhood maltreatment and child maladjustment. Recommendations for future research directions as well as directions for intervention and prevention efforts for at-risk families and children will be suggested. / Ph. D.

Eftersom fertiliteten i många utvecklade länder har gått ned är det intressant att studera orsakerna bakom detta. Om inte orsakerna bara ligger i de socioekonomiska förhållandena, vilka diskuteras mest, var kan de då sökas? Denna studie använder enkätdata med avsikt att belysa om attityder till att skaffa barn påverkas av vilka familjeförhållanden man själv växt upp under samt själv upplever under vuxet liv. Synsättet bygger på idén att det finns effekter som påverkar tänkandet genom socialisering, från en generation till en annan. Genom analys av data från undersökningen YAPS studeras om det finns några empiriska samband mellan stabilitet i familjens sammansättning under uppväxten, attityder till att leva i parförhållande och attityder till att skaffa barn. Uppsatsen använder sig av regressionsanalys för att undersöka eventuella statistiskt belagda samband. Då resultaten inte visar upp något samband med uppväxtvillkoren så undersöks även ekonomiska villkor då dessa ingått som bakgrundsdata i analysen. Resultatet pekar på samband mellan synen på barn och synen på parförhållanden samt den ekonomiska situationen i familjen under uppväxten. Den attityd till barn som man uppger verkar också vara en könsfråga då kvinnor har en mer positiv syn på barn än män enligt denna studie.

A pesquisa aqui apresentada teve por objetivo estudar os processos de socialização a que são submetidos jovens que aderem a organizações que buscam preservar ou subverter a ordem. Por meio de entrevistas, observações de campo, análise de documentos e pesquisa bibliográfica, procurei desvendar: 1) os processos de socialização conduzidos por essas organizações; 2) como se desenham as teias familiares, afetivas, profissionais e escolares, nas quais os jovens integrantes estavam ou estão enredados e de que forma elas os compeliram a aderir a movimentos que buscam preservar ou subverter a ordem; 3) como agem essas organizações para reforçar ou atenuar em seus integrantes determinadas formas de sentir, pensar, agir e se relacionar com os outros e com o mundo. Foram escolhidas, para a condução do estudo, a Academia da Força Aérea (AFA), instituição que forma oficiais para a Aeronáutica, uma das três Forças Armadas (FFAA), protetoras da ordem por excelência, e a Juventude Pátria Livre (JPL), grupo marxista-leninista subordinado ao Partido Pátria Livre (PPL), antigo Movimento Revolucionário 8 de Outubro (MR8), siglas que defendem, a longo prazo, a subversão da ordem para a implantação de uma sociedade igualitária e socialista (ou seja, a construção de uma nova ordem). Os dados coletados sugerem pontos de convergência na socialização de militares da AFA/Aeronáutica e de militantes da JPL/PPL, como também identificam falsas similaridades e diferenças significativas. Os pontos de convergência são os seguintes: 1) forte identidade de grupo e preocupação com a sociedade (senso de coletividade acima do senso de individualidade); 2) apego a valores patrióticos e nacionalistas; 3) ética da missão dada - missão cumprida; 4) diferente percepção do ser voluntário, em comparação com o que estamos habituados no senso comum; 5) ética corporal e de vestuário explícita e institucionalizada, no caso dos militares, e implícita e não institucionalizada, mas também perceptível, no caso dos militantes; 6) recrutamento endógeno; 7) vigorosa preocupação com a doutrina. As falsas similaridades e divergências significativas também podem ser agrupadas em sete pontos: 1) diferentes relações com a cidade; 2) escolarização dos entrevistados e dos antepassados; 3) religião; 4) adesão a outras organizações; 5) vida itinerante; 6) apoio familiar; 7) sacrifícios. / The research presented here had the objective of studying the socialization processes that young people are subjected to adhere to organizations that seek to preserve or overturn the order. Through interviews, field observations, analysis of documents and literature, I tried to unravel: 1) socialization processes conducted by these organizations; 2) how to design the family, emotional, professional and educational webs, in which young members were or are caught and how they compelled them to join movements that seek to preserve or overturn the order; 3) how act these organizations to enhance or mitigate its members in certain ways to feel, think, act and relate with others and with the world. I chose to study Academia da Força Aérea (AFA), an institution that forms officials for Aeronautics, one of the three Armed Forces, protective order par excellence, and Juventude Pátria Livre (JPL), marxist-leninist group subordinate to the Partido Pátria Livre (PPL), former Movimento Revolucionário 8 de Outubro (MR8), groups that stand, in the long term, the subversion of the order for the deployment of an egalitarian socialist society (ie, building of a new order). Results suggest points of convergence in the socialization of military AFA/Aeronautics and militants JPL/PPL, but also identify false similarities and differences. Convergent points are: 1) strong group identity and concern for society (sense of collectivity above the sense of individuality); 2) attachment to patriotic and nationalist values; 3) ethics given mission - mission accomplished; 4) different perception of \"volunteering\", compared to what we used in the common sense; 5) body and explicit and institutionalized ethical clothing, in the case of the military, and implicit and not institutionalized, but also noticeable, in the case of the militants; 6) endogenous recruitment; 7) strong concern with doctrine. False similarities and significant differences can also be grouped into seven points: 1) different relationships with the city; 2) education of the respondents and ancestors; 3) religion; 4) adherence to other organizations; 5) itinerant life; 6) family support; 7) sacrifices.

A situação do abandono e as condições estruturais das organizações de abrigamento no Brasil são questões que têm suscitado atenção crescente, gerando intensos debates na contemporaneidade. O presente estudo focaliza o modelo de abrigamento organizado a partir de famílias sociais que acolhem crianças em situação de risco psicossocial, até que seja possível sua reintegração à família consanguínea ou adoção por família substituta. A proposta de abrigamento temporário não se cumpre na prática, uma vez que, para a maioria das crianças e adolescentes, essa medida se torna definitiva, até que completem sua maioridade legal, o que torna as famílias sociais substitutas suas únicas referências familiares, depois do rompimento dos vínculos afetivos com a família biológica. Este estudo teve por objetivo investigar os conteúdos da transmissão psíquica intersubjetiva presentes na díade mãe socialadolescente, no espaço familiar de abrigamento. Participaram do estudo mães sociais e seus filhos adolescentes, oriundos de uma organização não governamental, totalizando 24 participantes. Foi utilizada como proposta metodológica a análise do discurso realizada a partir das histórias de vidas relatadas pelos participantes da pesquisa. As entrevistas foram realizadas individualmente e foram audiogravadas. Para alcançar o objetivo, três eixos da teoria psicanalítica serviram como referência: a construção psicanalítica sobre a família, a compreensão do contexto institucional e a transmissão psíquica intersubjetiva. Os relatos possibilitaram a identificação das marcas emocionais do abandono, da construção da parentalidade, da compreensão dos conteúdos compartilhados pela instituição de abrigamento, das similaridades e diferenças entre mães sociais e adolescentes no que se refere aos mecanismos de defesa, interdições e vinculações estabelecidas. Os resultados indicaram que os vínculos construídos nas famílias sociais são marcados pela parcialidade, pelo pacto denegativo, pela violência e por interdições utilizadas para perpetuar a sua ordem interna e também a ordem institucional. Foi possível concluir que as relações familiares investigadas são marcadas por lacunas criadas, inicialmente, pela situação de abandono, perpetuação de padrões relacionais agressivos na família social constituída posteriormente e por mecanismos de defesa que, muitas vezes, dificultam ou impedem novas vinculações e o aprofundamento das relações sociais e consanguíneas. / The situation of abandonment and the structural conditions of housing organizations in Brazil are issues that have attracted increasing attention, generating heated debates in contemporary times. The present study focuses on the housing model organized by social families, which house children at psychosocial risk until their reintegration into their consanguineous family or are adopted by a foster family. The proposal of temporary housing is not fulfilled in practice, as, for most children and adolescents, this measure becomes permanent until they complete their legal majority, which makes social families their only reference of family after breaking affective bonds with their biological family. The aim of this study was to investigate the contents of intersubjective psychic transmission present in the dyad social motheradolescent in the family environment of the housing organization. Subjects were social mothers and their teenage children from a non-governmental organization, totaling 24 participants. Discourse analysis was used as a methodological approach, and it was performed from the life stories reported by the participants. The interviews were conducted individually and were audio recorded. To reach the goal three axes of psychoanalytic theory were used as framework: the psychoanalytic construction of the family, understanding the institutional context and intersubjective psychic transmission. The reports permitted to identify the emotional scars of abandonment, the construction of parenting, understanding of the content shared in the housing institution, the similarities and differences between social mothers and adolescents with regard to the mechanisms of defense, interdiction and established attachments. The results indicated that attachments built in social families are marked by bias, by a denial pact, violence and interdictions used to perpetuate their internal order and also the institutional order. It was concluded that the investigated family relationships are marked by gaps initially created by the situation of abandonment, the perpetuation of patterns of aggressive relationships in the social family that is later comprised and defense mechanisms, which often hinder or prevent new attachments and the deepening of social and consanguineous relationships.

This licentiate’s thesis consists of two essays on immigrant self-employment and labour supply. The first essay (co-author Mats Hammarstedt), Intergenerational transmissions in immigrant self-employment: Evidence from three generations, reviews intergenerational transmissions in immigrant self-employment over three generations. More precisely, we study whether self-employment is transferred both from grandfather to grandson and from father to son, as well as if there are any differences between immigrant groups and differences between immigrants and natives. In addition, we investigate the importance of the intergenerational transfer of general and specific human capital for choice of business line. The results show that having a self-employed father and self-employed grandfather have a strong positive effect on self-employment propensities for male third-generation immigrants. On the other hand, natives were found to transfer self-employment from father to son, but not from grandfather to grandson. The results also indicate that immigrants inherit self-employment abilities from their self-employed fathers increasing the self-employment propensity, but not necessarily in the same business line. In contrast, native self-employed fathers transfer human capital to their sons making them more prone to become self-employed in the same business line as the father is in. The second essay, Female immigrant labour supply: The effect of an in-work benefit, focuses on immigrant labour supply, and evaluates the effect of a recently introduced in-work benefit, the so called job deduction, on the labour supply of single immigrant women. In this study, we address the following questions: What is the effect of the in-work benefit on the labour supply of single immigrant women? Does the effect of the in-work benefit on working hours differ between immigrant groups? The results show that, on average, there is no major effect of the in-work benefit on the labour supply of single immigrant women. However, households with the lowest incomes increase their working hours quite strongly. Furthermore, on average, there appears to be no difference in the effect of the in-work benefit between immigrant groups. In the low-income households, though, immigrants from non-European countries and from Southern and Eastern European countries, increase their labour supply relatively more than immigrants from Nordic countries and Western Europe. Finally, the relatively large increase in working hours for single immigrant women with the lowest incomes appears, above all, to be a result of increased participation in the labour market. However, part of the effect is related to an increase in the number of working hours of already employed women.

My PhD work aimed to assess intergenerational transmission and life-course change of attitudes towards authority. Intergenerational transmission is hypothesised as the mechanism through which parents' authoritarian attitudes affect their children's attitudes towards authority in adulthood. In the assessment of this transmission mechanism, this analysis accounts for individual-level theoretically relevant factors such as gender, education, social class, offspring's cognitive ability in childhood, as well as family background, in a longitudinal, single-cohort perspective. The research used the British Cohort Study 1970 (BCS70), which allows for the analysis of change at both the intra- and inter-individual levels. The sweeps analysed are those in years 1975 for the parents, and 1980, 1996, 2000 and 2012 for the cohort members. The analytical chapters of the thesis are made of three papers: The first assessed change (or stability) in attitudes to authority in the BCS70 from 1996 to 2012; the second looked at how parental authoritarian worldviews affect their children's attitudes towards authority when the children are adults; finally, the third paper aimed to evaluate the effect of parental attitudes on cohort members' attitudes towards authority in adulthood, after controlling for the latter's cognitive ability in childhood. I found that attitudes had a reasonably high level of stability across the life course. Despite moderately strong correlations across attitudes within waves, the different attitudes showed different patterns of longitudinal evolution, suggesting different causal influences. The evidence for direct transmission of attitudes from parents to children was surprisingly weak; the social statuses of the parents and cohort members, and especially the members' childhood cognitive ability, were the strongest predictors of authoritarian attitudes in adulthood.
