O conceito Deus em crianças cristãs: o antropomorfismo e o uso das imagens religiosas / Gods concept in Christian children: anthropomorphism and the use of religious images

Ribeiro, Matheus Fernando Felix 06 April 2018 (has links)
Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza básica, de estrutura transversal e de desenho quasi-experimental cujo objeto foi o conceito Deus em uma amostra de crianças de três confissões cristãs. Objetivou-se explorar se o uso deste conceito é consistente com a doutrina teológica por elas professas ou se se incorre em uma antropomorfização não intencional. Ainda, é explorada a relação entre o uso de imagens e adornos religiosos e distintos níveis de antropomorfização. Esses objetivos foram exploramos através da formulação e testagem de nove hipóteses. Foi constituída uma amostra de conveniência composta por noventa participantes. Essa amostra foi dividida em quatro grupos de interesse: no primeiro houve uma distribuição equitativa (n=30) quanto às confissões religiosas (Catolicismo Romano, Espiritismo Kardecista e Assembleia de Deus); três grupos quanto à idade, variando de 9 a 11 anos (M=10.31, DP=0.80); dois quanto ao gênero, sendo que quarenta e três respondentes eram do sexo masculino (47%) e; dois grupos quanto ao tipo de escola, sendo que cinquenta e três participantes pertenciam à escola particular (58%). Foram utilizados como instrumental de pesquisa uma tarefa de compreensão de narrativa, um questionário de exposição às imagens religiosas e um questionário sobre as características de Deus para testar as hipóteses aventadas. Esses instrumentos passaram por sistemática tradução e adaptação cultural, além de haver sido calculado o índice de validade de conteúdo, de maneira a averiguar sua exatidão semântica para o uso tanto no contexto brasileiro quanto para a população-alvo. Como resultado, o instrumento mostrou-se adequado para uso. Também encontramos que os participantes usuários de imagens religiosas, majoritariamente os católicos e espíritas, sustentam maiores níveis de antropomorfismo religioso em seus conceitos teológicos, conforme aferido pelo Questionário de Deus. No entanto, o grupo que apresentou maiores níveis de antropomorfismo na tarefa de compreensão de narrativa foi o evangélico. Face a este dado aparentemente contraditório, discutimos possíveis - 9 relações entre a dinâmica do mercado religioso brasileiro, contextualizando o uso da imagem religiosa, e a representação mental do conceito Deus para essa amostra. Os resultados também sugerem que, para os quatro grupos de interesse, o antropomorfismo religioso atua mais intensamente em crianças do que em adultos na a tarefa de compreensão de narrativas, em que são utilizados conceitos básicos. Quanto ao uso dos conceitos teológicos, os grupos de interesse também apresentaram uma leve rejeição ao antropomorfismo religioso. Sugere-se que para o conceito Deus existam múltiplos níveis de representação, sendo que o contexto e a tarefa influem sobre a representação a ser empregada, variando entre conceitos básicos e teológicos em um certo continuum. Ainda, face aos resultados encontrados e amparados pela visão teórica dos conceitos, apresenta-se uma possível explicação fundada na mudança conceitual sobre como os usos do conceito Deus podem mudar ao longo do desenvolvimento, de maneira a afetar toda uma rede relacional teórica-explicativa / This basic, transversal, quasi-experimental research has as object Gods concept in a children sample of different Christian beliefs. We aimed to explore if the use of this concept is coherent with their professed theology or if they unintentionally anthropomorphize this agent. Also, we explore how religious images and objects relate to distinct levels of anthropomorphization. We explored these objectives through nine hypotheses. We had a convenience sample of ninety individuals. Such sample was divided in four groups: the first one was equally distributed in three religious groups (n=30) (Roman Catholics, Assembly of God and Kardecism Spiritism); the second one divided in three groups related to age, varying from 9 to 11 (M=10.31, DP=0.80); third group divided in two related to gender, being fourty-three males (47%) and finally; the fourth group related to type of school, being fifty-three participants studying in private school (58%). We used three psychologic instruments in our research: a narrative comprehension task, a survey of exposure to religious images and a survey of characteristics of God. These instruments were translated and culturally adapted for scientific usage, we also calculated the content validity index, to be sure about its semantic validity both for the Brazilian context and for the target-population. Thus, we found that the image users, mostly Catholics and Spirits, hold greater levels of religious anthropomorphism in their theological concepts, as we can measure through the Gods Survey Questionnaire. The group that showed greater levels of anthropomorphism in the narrative comprehension task was the evangelic. On that, we present some possible relations between the dynamics of Brazilian religious market, specially related to religious image usage, and God´s mental representation related to this sample. Also, as a result, our sample suggest that, for the four groups created, religious anthropomorphism is more intense in children in a narrative comprehension task than in adults. On the theological concepts, the groups also revealed tiny rejection to religious anthropomorphism, but when analyzed all items, we could notice certain heterogeneity in the attribution of anthropomorphism for this agent, varying from a lot - 11 to little, when compared to an adult sample, whose rejection was absolute. These results suggest, in conformity with theory theory of concepts, that God´s concepts go through conceptual change throughout the human development, affecting all theoretical-explicative conceptual network

Success stories of students after academic probation

Somo, Charity Mokgaetji January 2013 (has links)
This study focused on the success stories of students after academic probation in order to explore, understand and describe their personal perceptions, perspectives and the meanings they ascribed to academic probation. I also hoped to gain insight into the success factors that enabled the students success after academic probation. Through these insights I hoped to add to our understanding of supporting students on academic probation. The conceptual framework for my study was based on the strength-based approach and Bean and Eaton’s psychological model of college student retention. I also explored literature on the experiences of students who encountered academic failure as part of framing and understanding of the students’ experiences. For the purposes of the aforementioned objectives I followed a qualitative research approach, anchored in an interpretivist paradigm. I collected data through a focus group interview with three participants. The participants were purposively selected on the basis that they themselves were placed on academic probation. With the permission of the participants the interview was tape-recorded, the recording was supported by a research field journal. Three core themes in the data were identified namely Psychological Processes, Institutional Support Structures and Personal Support Systems. These core themes were integrated with literature and further linked to sub-themes and related themes. The results of my study found that students were enabled by four psychological processes namely attitudes and behaviours, coping behaviours, an internal locus of control and high self-efficacy beliefs to succeed. Institutional structures, including the policy on academic probation, played a crucial role in supporting the students to succeed, and it was because of personal support structures such as family and friends that students had the courage to return to their studies and make a good effort at succeeding. As a conclusion, this study suggested that it is possible for students to rise above academic probation and persist towards academic achievement and to have positive experiences which enable them to complete their studies. / Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / lk2014 / Educational Psychology / MEd / Unrestricted

Psicologia e proteção social na Amazônia: diálogos com famílias de um garimpo / Psychology and social protection in the Amazon: dialogues with families of a mining

Urnau, Lílian Caroline 24 April 2013 (has links)
No contexto de estruturação do Sistema Único de Assistência Social, no qual os profissionais da psicologia passam a compor obrigatoriamente as equipes de atenção a famílias e indivíduos em situação de vulnerabilidade social, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi refletir sobre as possibilidades teórico-práticas da psicologia na proteção social básica, com base na interlocução com famílias de um garimpo de cassiterita na Amazônia Ocidental. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo de cunho etnográfico, de incursões com frequencia semanal, durante aproximadamente um ano, no qual foram realizadas observações participantes, conversas informais e entrevistas semiestruturadas com os residentes do local. Buscou-se entender o contexto histórico e social do garimpo; as histórias familiares; os aspetos do cotidiano familiar; os sentidos e as expectativas de futuro das famílias; as formas de organização coletiva e participação social; bem como, os sentidos e experiências das famílias com a psicologia. A análise foi realizada à luz da abordagem teórica da psicologia histórico-cultural, que busca articular as dimensões subjetiva e objetiva, singular e coletiva, para o entendimento dos sujeitos e dos sentidos/significados por eles atribuídos às suas vivências. Os resultados revelaram como as condições objetivas de pobreza, baixa escolarização, não efetividade das ações públicas, exploração do trabalho e criminalização da atividade garimpeira atravessam as vivências dos moradores do garimpo e incidem em contradições entre o silêncio/grito e a inação/ação dos indivíduos e sua organização coletiva. Numa dimensão subjetiva dos processos psicossociais da desigualdade social, tais condições repercutem em sentimentos de humilhação, desvalorização e necessidade de reconhecimento. Numa dimensão coletiva da participação social, correlacionaram-se: as características do contexto neoliberal contemporâneo, a falta de espaços efetivamente democráticos nas instituições públicas na localidade e a dinâmica específica da comunidade e de seus sujeitos, que impõem limites, mas também apontam possibilidades, motivadas pela criticidade da população e a vontade de mudar o existente. Resultados que demarcam a importância de conhecer e compreender intensivamente as famílias e comunidades alvo da política de assistência social, por meio de visitas domiciliares e entrevistas, para com elas construir ações efetivamente participativas diante das problemáticas a serem enfrentadas. O psicólogo, nesta política, apresenta-se como o profissional que pode criar espaços dialógicos e educacionais para a reflexão sobre as condições objetivas que incidem sobre as vivências subjetivas dos sujeitos e as relações comunitárias, que permitam tomar consciência, imaginar e construir coletivamente outras possibilidades existenciais / In the context of structuring the Unified Social Assistance System, in which psychologists obligatorily begin to compose teams of attention to families and individuals in situation of social vulnerability, the goal of this research was to reflect on the theoretical and practical possibilities of psychology on basic social protection, based on the dialogue with families from a cassiterite mining in Western Amazonia. In order to do this a ethnographic study was developed, which included incursions with weekly frequency, that have lasted for about a year, in which were conducted participant observations, informal conversations and semi-structured interviews with local residents. We sought to understand the historical and social context of the mining, the families stories, the aspects of the daily family life; meanings and expectations to the future of the families; forms of collective organization and social participation, as well as the meanings and experiences of the families with psychology. The analysis was based on the theoretical approach of cultural-historical psychology, which seeks to articulate both subjective and objective, singular and collective dimensions, for the understanding of the subjects and the meanings attributed to the experiences. Results revealed how the objective conditions of poverty, low education, not effectiveness of public actions, labor exploitation and criminalization of mining activity crosses the experiences of residents of the mining and focus on contradictions between silence/scream and inaction/action of individuals and their collective organization. In a subjective dimension of psychosocial processes of social inequality, such conditions resonate as feelings of humiliation, devaluation and need for recognition. In a collective dimension of social participation, correlated with: the characteristics of contemporary neoliberal context, the lack of effective democratic spaces in public institutions in the locality and the specific dynamics of the community and its individuals, which impose limits, but also suggest possibilities, motivated by the criticism of population and a desire to change the existing one. Results that outline the importance of knowing and understanding intensively families and communities targeted by social assistance policy, through home visits and interviews with them, to build on effectively participatory actions about the problems to be faced. The psychologist, in this policy, presents itself as a professional who can create educational and dialogic space for reflection on the objective conditions that focus on the subjective experiences of individuals and community relations that allow them to become conscious, imagine and build collectively other existential possibilities

Processus psychologiques, qualité de vie et devenir professionnel après lésion cérébrale acquise.Une étude longitudinale auprès de patients participant à un programme d’aide à l’intégration communautaire. / Psychological processes, quality of life and professional outcome after acquired brain injury.Longitudinal study of patients participating in a community integration training program

Carlsberg, Mathilde 21 November 2019 (has links)
La lésion cérébrale acquise (LCA) engendre des séquelles dont la chronicité est à l’origine de difficultés dans les activités familiales, sociales et professionnelles. L’interaction des facteurs lésionnels, personnels de la personne cérébrolésée et ceux de son environnement vont contribuer au handicap. Face à la complexité de ce handicap, des programmes d’aide à l’intégration communautaire (IC), comme les UEROS, ont été développés pour favoriser l’insertion familiale, sociale et professionnelle des patients et améliorer leur qualité de vie (QDV). Mieux connaitre les déterminants de l’IC et l’évolution des processus psychologiques au cours de ces programmes semble nécessaire. Le premier objectif de ce travail vise à améliorer l’évaluation de l’IC après LCA en validant en français le Community Integration Questionnaire-Revised (CIQ-R) de Callaway et al. (2016). Les résultats de l’étude transversale menée auprès 191 patients cérébrolésés montrent les qualités psychométriques du CIQ-R. Celui-ci permet d’évaluer quatre dimensions de l’IC ainsi qu’un score global. Le deuxième objectif de ce travail est double : repérer les déterminants du devenir professionnel des patients 36 mois après leur entrée à l’UEROS-Aquitaine et étudier l’évolution des processus psychologiques, de la qualité de vie (QDV) et de l’IC tout au long de leur participation au programme. Dans le cadre d’une étude longitudinale, 49 patients cérébrolésés ont été inclus à leur entrée à l’UEROS-Aquitaine. Des données psychologiques, de QDV et d’IC ont été recueillies à 5 reprises sur 24 mois et le devenir professionnel a été évalué à 36 mois. Trois facteurs, parmi ceux évalués à l’inclusion, discriminent les patients ayant retrouvé une activité professionnelle (AP) de ceux sans AP 36 mois plus tard: un âge jeune, un faible besoin d’aides en vie quotidienne et l’utilisation de la pensée positive pour faire face aux difficultés liées à la LCA. Des modélisations par équations structurales montrent que la symptomatologie dépressive et le coping « Evitement » diminuent jusqu’à 1 an après l’inclusion puis augmentent au cours de la deuxième année. La dimension « Soi » de la QDV et la satisfaction de vie augmentent jusqu’à 1 an puis diminuent ensuite. La QDV « Physique » augmente tout au long des 2 ans. Enfin, les résultats indiquent une absence d’évolution significative des scores d’estime de soi, de sentiment d’auto-efficacité et d’IC sur 2 ans. L’ensemble de nos résultats suggère des implications cliniques tant pour l’évaluation de l’IC que pour l’accompagnement à long terme des personnes cérébrolésées. / Acquired brain injury (ABI) causes disorders with chronicity at the origin of difficulties in daily, social and professional activities. The interaction of brain-injured people’s lesional, personal and environmental factors will contribute to the resulting disability. Given the complexity of this disability, Community Integration (CI) training programs have been developed, such as the UEROS, to promote family, social and professional integration. A better understanding of the determinants of CI and the evolution of psychological processes during these programs seems necessary. The first objective of this work aims to enhance the evaluation of CI after ABI by validating, for the french language, the Community Integration Questionnaire-Revised (CIQ-R) by Callaway et. al (2016). The results of the transversal study carried out with 191 ABI patients show the psychometric qualities of the CIQ-R. This tool allows evaluation of four dimensions of CI as well as an overall CI score. The second objective of this work is twofold: to identify determinants of the professional outcome of patients 36 months after their entry into the UEROS-Aquitaine program and to study evolution of psychological processes, quality of life (QoL) and CI throughout their participation in the program. In the context of longitudinal study, 49 ABI patients were included upon entry to UEROS-Aquitaine program. Psychological, QoL and CI data were collected at 5 moments during 24 months and professional outcome was evaluated at 36 months. Three factors among those evaluated upon inclusion discriminate patients having found a professional activity (PA) from those with no PA 36 months later: young age, a low need for aids in daily living and use of positive thinking to cope with the difficulties associated with the ABI. Structural equation modeling indicates that depressive symptomatology and avoidance coping decrease until 1 year after inclusion and then increase in the second year. The "self" dimension of QOL and life satisfaction increase up to the first year and then decrease during the second year. Physical QoL increases over 2 years. Finally, the results indicate a lack of significant change in self-esteem scores, self-efficacy and CI over 2 years. The results as a whole have clinical implications both for the evaluation of ABI patients' CI and for their long-term support.

Úvod do konceptu Smyslové aktivizace z pohledu vybraných psychologických aspektů / Introduction to the Concept of Sensory Activation Considering Selected Psychological Aspects

BÍLKOVÁ, Ivana January 2014 (has links)
This dissertation deals with the concept of Sensory Activation, a new approach practised in the Czech Republic focussing on the elderly and people with dementia synrome, in relation to monitored psychological aspects. The work has four main parts. In the first part the target group is defined the elderly and people with dementia syndrome, with emphasis being placed on a holistic approach to treatment. The second part presents selected psychological aspects, specifically communication, emotions, memory and sensory processes and their interconnection with the practice of Sensory Activation. Contained in the following chapter is the concept of Sensory Activation itself and a synopsis of its methods which can be applied in work with the target group. The last chapter presents the results of my research. These results come from an analysis of eight case histories of randomly selected activated people. The full versions of the case histories can be found in the Appendices of this dissertation.
