We have as a hypothesis that the entry into University is due to the pursuit of finding a professional qualification in order to remain in the countryside. This study was made with young rural students who studies in the graduation courses offered at campus Realeza-PR. To develop the analyses, we worked with these young rural women whose identified themselves as rural women, and entered in the University during the period from 2010 to 2013, with age between 15 and 29 years old. We used as methodological proceeding, the qualitative and quantitative parameters to get information, applying surveys and interviews to the young women. To understand the reality faced by the young women interviewed, it was necessary to study the aspects about rural youth approaching, in studies of the problems faced in the farming which influences on the future plans of these rural young women. Moreover, the aspects of the patriarchy family and conflicts of generations which are present on the farming, contribute to deciding the permanence. Studies have shown that lack of autonomy to the implantation of changes in the family production unit, the economic troubles faced by farmers and the professional qualification can contribute to the future projects aimed by the young rural women, besides, they have several objectives from professional qualification, and aspects related to their familiar production unit influences their professional projects. / A pesquisa teve como objetivo principal analisar as perspectivas das jovens rurais que estudam na Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul (UFFS) Campus Realeza PR, em relação à permanência no espaço rural.

Para desenvolver a análise, trabalhamos com as jovens rurais que se identificaram como tal, ingressaram no período de 2010 a2013, e na faixa etária de 15 a29 anos. Utilizamos como procedimentos metodológicos, para a produção das informações, métodos qualitativos e quantitativos, com aplicação de questionários e entrevistas às jovens rurais. Para compreensão da realidade vivida pelas pesquisadas, foi necessário estudar aspectos sobre a juventude rural, com abordagens em estudos realizados, problemas enfrentados na agricultura e que influenciam nos projetos futuros das jovens rurais. Além disso, aspectos do patriarcado e conflitos de geração, que estão presentes na agricultura e contribuem sobre a decisão de permanência. Estudos têm demonstrado que a falta de autonomia para implantação de mudanças na unidade produtiva familiar, as dificuldades econômicas enfrentadas pelos agricultores e a formação profissional podem contribuir para que as jovens rurais projetem seu futuro profissional fora do espaço rural, sem contar, que as jovens rurais possuem objetivos os mais variados a partir da formação profissional, e que aspectos relacionados às famílias nas unidades produtivas influenciam na construção dos seus projetos profissionais.

This thesis investigates the impact of after-school programs on youth in rural communities. A case study of the Fusion Youth Activity and Technology Centre in Ingersoll, Ontario was conducted to explore the relationship between program participation and the development experiences of youth participants ages 12 to 18 years. The Youth Experience Survey created by Hansen and Larson (2002) was selected for this study to assess the positive and negative youth development experiences of Fusion youth participants, measuring experiences within conceptual domains of Identity Work, Initiative, Basic Skills, Positive Relationships, Team Work and Social Skills, Adult Networks and Social Capital, and Negative Experiences. The study found that all domains measuring positive youth development experiences were positively correlated, with the strongest experiences associated with the domains of Identity Work, Basic Skills, Positive Relationships, and Team Work and Social Skills. In addition, the study concluded that participants’ youth development significantly increased with duration of membership and intensity of participation at Fusion.

Bronfenbrenner (2001) proposes that individual development is based on reciprocal interactions between personal variables, social interactions and the environment. If exposed to a non-accepting environment, individuals are assumed to have poorer adjustment as compared to those in accepting environments. Once exposed to a more accepting environment, psychosocial adjustment is expected to increase. D’Augelli (1994b) also sees sexual identity development as influenced by interpersonal interactions occurring in one’s environment. Sexual minority adolescents have high rates of depression, suicidality and victimization, and lower levels of self-esteem and social support. Methodological issues, including recruitment and inclusion of only those who are “out”, have potentially inflated previous results regarding psychosocial maladjustment. Therefore, the current study was designed to address those methodological flaws. A sample consisting of 286 sexual minority college students completed the following measures: demographics questionnaire, Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, Suicidal Behavior Questionnaire-Revised, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and victimization questionnaires. It was hypothesized that when controlling for social support, rural participants would report higher rates of psychological maladjustment (depression, suicidality, self-esteem) and victimization (in person and electronic), as compared to non-rural participants; males would have higher rates of suicidality and victimization as compared to females, whereas females were expected to have higher levels of depression and lower self-esteem as compared to males; and sexual minorities spending more time in an accepting macrosystem (greater than two years in college) were expected to have lower levels of psychological maladjustment and victimization than those spending less time in an accepting macrosystem (less than two years in college). It was also hypothesized that participants would report higher rates of victimization prior to college, as compared to when in college. Results showed that psychological maladjustment did not differ based on gender, environment or time spent in college. However, rates of psychological maladjustment were found to be lower than previous studies reported. This may indicate that previous research is skewed due to using a non representative sample. Rates of victimization were higher for participants prior to entering college, as compared to when in college, and were higher for men than women. No differences were found between rates of victimization between environments, however. These results may indicate different things. It is plausible that persons in rural environments are more accepting of sexual minorities than has been noted in the past. This may be due to the increased exposure of sexual minority issues in the media and the internet. However, rates of perceived social support were high for the current sample, and essentially the same between those from rural and non-rural areas. Such results may confirm Bronfenbrenner’s assertion that microsystemic processes combat psychological maladjustment. / Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services
