Study, using personal accounts and participant observation, of two 'growth' movements as social-psychological phenomena, with a discussion of the possibility of a humanistic science of persons

McLeod, John Alexander January 1977 (has links)
The thesis is in two parts. Part I examines the possibility of a humanistic science of persons. The failure of the psychometric approach to personality research is described. It is argued that psychometrics denies the common-sense, everyday-life basis of its procedures. Then, with the aim of constructing a true science of persons, some of the concepts of a philosophy of the person are introduced. Finally, it is suggested that a science of persons would be a science of interpretation. A methodology for such a science is set out, along with the examples of research which has exploited these methods. In Part II, a programme of substantive research is presented. The aim is to investigate those experiences which individuals claim lead to their personal 'growth'. Two 'growth' movements - Transcendental Meditation and encounter groups - are studied as social-psychological phenomena. The methods used are personal accounts and participant observation. These activities are described as constituting unique identifiable 'regions of social reality'. It is concluded that they resemble forms of art such as novels or films more than forms of therapy or education. The implications of this conclusion are explored in a final Chapter.

O nosso marco teórico foi o construtivismo genético de Pierre Bourdieu. Por meio deste autor, procuramos relacionar e delinear a formação dos habitus científicos dos professores de uma faculdade de medicina, analisando as memórias coletivas do período de institucionalização, desenvolvimento e consagração de seus grupos primários. Procuramos mostrar a relação destes habitus com o espaço social no qual os pesquisadores foram socializados, construíram suas trajetórias sociais e constituíram seus grupos primários. Criamos, como estratégia teórica, um construto nomeado 'biografia coletiva¿ de uma persona 'coletiva¿, baseando-nos, para tanto, nos conceitos de trajetórias coletivas de Bourdieu, memória coletiva de Halbwachs, grupo primário de Ferrarotti e Cooley, persona de Mauss e persona coletiva de Boltanski. No plano quantitativo, desenhamos e analisamos, em termos estatísticos, as principais características desses professores, por meio da quantificação da base de dados Plataforma Lattes, que contém os currículos de todos os Professores Plenos da Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Unicamp. No plano qualitativo, realizamos entrevistas focadas em profundidade com uma amostra dos professores e uma análise estrutural de suas respostas, com a intenção de compreender suas práticas e seus valores como cientistas, procurando entender as idealizações subjetivas a respeito de suas próprias trajetórias de vida, ou seja, as memórias coletivas de suas próprias práticas. Comparando ambos os tipos de dados, sintetizamos as principais características dos pesquisadores da faculdade, dedicando, porém, especial atenção a três grupos primários. Procuramos elucidar como as vanguardas, representadas por esses grupos primários presentes na instituição, percebem-se e se definem como grupos sociais, as suas concepções do que é ciência e a maneira como transformam essas disposições, presentes em seus habitus, em atos concretos e cotidianos da prática científica / Abstract: The present thesis follows a perspective of science sociology and seeks to understand the scientific practices of researchers from an institution of the medical field, using quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Our theoretical reference was the Pierre Bourdieu¿s genetic constructivism. Through this author, we aimed to correlate and delineate the construction of the scientific habitus of professors and the relation of these habitus with the social scope in which they inserted themselves, built their social trajectories and constituted their primary groups. Respecting the quantitative sphere, we outlined and analyzed the main statistical characteristics of these professors using the analysis of Lattes Platform Curricula of all full professors from the Medical Sciences School of the University of Campinas (Unicamp). In the qualitative sphere, we performed interviews focused on a sample of professors and the structural analysis of their answers, in order to understand their practices and values as scientists, as well as their subjective idealizations regarding their own personal trajectories, i.e. collective memories of their own practices. Comparing both types of data, we synthesized the main characteristics of each group within a collective biography of a collective persona, seeking to elucidate how the vanguard groups represented by these primary groups existent in the institution conceive and define themselves as social groups, their conceptions of the meaning of science and the way in which these dispositions present in their habitus are transformed into concrete actions / Doutorado / Saude Coletiva / Doutor em Saude Coletiva
