Thesis (MTh)--Stellenbosch University, 2015. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study examines the value that body theology can add to an inclusive understanding of sexuality in adolescence. Sexuality was understood differently throughout different periods in time, but even today there is still no real clarity on what is meant by the term sexuality. Sexuality is a difficult term to define and its meaning plays an important role in the way people treat each other. Throughout the different periods the church has largely been either silent about sexuality or considered it a sin. As a result the church would not necessarily be seen as a good resource for advice on sexual matters. Adolescents go through a dramatic period of developing on a physical, cognitive and moral level, which all occur simultaneously, but sexual development is the most prominent. Sexual development prepares adolescents on a physical level to reproduce and to enter into sexual relationships, but cognitive and moral development also takes place; these two processes are supportive for the adolescent to understand and process the sexual development. These developing processes, together with the context in which an adolescent is growing up, has an impact on the type of moral value system compiled by adolescents, which determines how they behave. As already mentioned, the church is not necessarily involved in these discussions, and therefore this study challenges the churches to become involved again by making use of body theology. The research question can be formulated as follows: What contribution can body theology make to promote an inclusive understanding of sexuality during adolescence? To answer the research question, the first objective is discussed in chapter 2, namely to give a historical overview to obtain an understanding of sexuality and see how the understanding of sexuality changed over the different periods, but also to see that there were certain times when the understanding of sexuality was the same. The second objective is discussed in chapter 3, where the focus is on a historical overview of the understanding of the body. This historical overview is discussed to understand that the body often stood in an ambiguous position and dualisms formed part of the understanding of the body, but it also affects a deeper understanding of life. In chapter 4, the third objective is discussed by examining the centrality of sexual development during adolescence to understand the important role that sexual development plays in the adolescent's life, but also to realise that it affects other aspects of life. The fourth objective is discussed in chapter 5, which contains the discussion of body theology to indicate how it can promote an inclusive understanding of sexuality. This chapter also discusses how body theology developed and the importance of the body in body theology. Chapter 6 includes conclusions and recommendations, such as that youth workers and church leaders need to recognise their own understanding of sexuality and the body, but that body theology can promote an inclusive understanding of sexuality if youth workers and church leaders are able to make a theological shift and use body theology as a theological lens. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die waarde wat liggaamsteologie tot ʼn inklusiewe verstaan van seksualiteit tydens adolessensie kan byvoeg. Seksualiteit is deur verskillende tydperke verskillend verstaan, maar daar is selfs vandag nog nie werklik uitsluitsel van wat met die term seksualiteit bedoel word nie. Seksualiteit is ʼn moeilike term om te definieer en die verstaan daarvan speel ʼn belangrike rol in die wyse waarop mense mekaar hanteer. Die kerk was grootliks deur die verskillende tydperke óf stil oor seksualiteit óf het dit as ʼn sonde beskou, met die gevolg dat die kerk nie noodwendig as ʼn goeie hulpbron vir raad rakende seksuele sake beskou word nie. Adolessente gaan deur ʼn dramatiese tydperk waar alle ontwikkelingsprosesse, waarvan die seksuele ontwikkeling die prominentste is, gelyktydig plaasvind. Die seksuele ontwikkeling berei adolessente liggaamlik voor om voort te plant en in seksuele verhoudings te tree, maar kognitiewe en morele ontwikkeling vind ook plaas; hierdie twee prosesse is ondersteunend vir die adolessent om die seksuele ontwikkeling te kan verstaan en verwerk. Hierdie ontwikkelingsprosesse, tesame met die konteks waarin ʼn adolessent groot word, het ʼn invloed op die tipe morele waardestelsel wat adolessente saamstel, en wat bepaal hoe hulle optree. Soos reeds genoem, is die kerk nie noodwendig betrokke by hierdie gesprekke nie, en daarom stel hierdie studie voor dat kerke weer betrokke moet raak deur gebruik te maak van liggaamsteologie. Die navorsingsvraag kan soos volg geformuleer word: Watter bydrae kan liggaamsteologie maak tot die bevordering van ʼn inklusiewe verstaan van seksualiteit tydens adolessensie? Om die navorsingsvraag te beantwoord word die eerste doelstelling, om ʼn historiese oorsig oor die verstaan van seksualiteit te kry, om te sien hoe die verstaan van seksualiteit oor verskillende tydperke verander het, maar ook op sekere tye dieselfde verstaan van seksualiteit gehandaaf is, in hoofstuk 2 bespreek. Die tweede doelstelling word in hoofstuk 3 bespreek, waar die fokus op ʼn historiese oorsig van die verstaan van die liggaam val. Die historiese oorsig oor die verstaan van die liggaam word bespreek om ook te verstaan dat die liggaam baie keer in ʼn dubbelsinnige posisie gestaan het en dat dualismes deel gevorm het van die verstaan daarvan, maar dat dit ook verdere verstaan van die lewe beïnvloed het. In hoofstuk 4 word die derde doelstelling bespreek deur die sentrale rol van seksuele ontwikkeling tydens adolessensie te ondersoek om te verstaan watter belangrike rol seksuele ontwikkeling in die adolessent se lewe speel, maar ook dat dit ander aspekte van die lewe beïnvloed. Die vierde doelstelling word bespreek in hoofstuk 5, wat die bespreking van liggaamsteologie bevat om aan te dui hoe dit ʼn inklusiewe verstaan van seksualiteit kan bevorder. In hierdie hoofstuk word daar ook bespreek hoe liggaamsteologie ontstaan het en wat die belangrikheid van die liggaam in liggaamsteologie is. Hoofstuk 6 sluit die studie af met gevolgtrekkings en aanbevelings soos dat jeugwerkers en gemeenteleiers bewus moet word van hulle eie verstaan van seksualiteit en die liggaam, maar ook dat liggaamsteologie ʼn inklusiewe verstaan van seksualiteit kan bevorder, indien jeugwerkers en gemeenteleiers ʼn teologiese skuif maak en liggaamteologie as ʼn teologiese lens gebruik.

Psicólogas / En el marco de una intensificación de denuncias de abuso sexual infantil y una fuerte exposición mediática de situaciones de abuso sexual infantil en contextos escolares, este estudio se orienta en indagar las percepciones de los agentes educativos (directores/as, inspectores/as, orientadores/as y profesores/as) sobre el abuso sexual infantil en contextos escolares. La inquietud principal que direcciona este estudio se relaciona con la interrogante respecto a cómo un escenario seguro, la escuela, se configura a la vez como un lugar inseguro para el abuso sexual infantil. Se diseñó una investigación de tipo cualitativa que permitió, por medio de la aplicación de entrevistas semi-estructuradas, recoger diferentes nociones respecto al riesgo de abuso sexual en la escuela en tres establecimientos educacionales urbanos de la región metropolitana. Los principales resultados indican, por un lado, que las percepciones de riesgo o inseguridad, ante el abuso sexual en contextos escolares, son situadas principalmente en las interacciones sociales establecidas cotidianamente entre los agentes educativos y los/as alumnos/as y en elementos propios de la espacialidad escolar; por otro lado, las percepciones de seguridad se asocian a la implementación de nuevas medidas de prevención de abuso sexual al interior de los establecimientos. Dichas medidas apuntan a normativizar las relaciones sociales entre agentes educativos y alumnos/as, a supervisar lugares al interior de los establecimientos educacionales identificados como inseguros para la ocurrencia de abuso sexual, procurando la visibilidad absoluta de las actividades escolares

M.A. Faculty of Humanties, School of Social Sciences. University of the Witwatersrand, 2011 / INTRODUCTION: Zimbabwe has witnessed a decline in HIV prevalence in the general population estimated to be 27% in 2001, 19% in 2005, 16% in 2007 and 14% in 2009 (Mapingure et al., 2010). Whilst it is a notable decline the rate is still high. Sexual behaviour change has been reported as key to this HIV prevalence decline. Partner reduction has been advocated as an important strategy in HIV prevention. Understanding the socioeconomic and demographic factors influencing the sexual behaviours that are either sustaining the declining, yet still high, prevalence rates is critical to inform interventions. There is growing interest in the association between individual’s socioeconomic status and sexual risk taking behaviour in sub-Saharan Africa. The general objective was to examine the association between wealth and sexual behaviour among men in Zimbabwe. METHOD: Analysis of data from 7175 sexually active aged 15-54 years who participated in the Zimbabwe’s 2005/06 Demographic and Health Survey was done using logistic regression models and have reported odds ratios (OR) with Confidence intervals. In the multiple logistic regressions, two models were used. Model 1 included variables: wealth, age and education whilst in model 2 we controlled for: marital status, type of residence, region of residence and religion because these socio-demographic factors influence male sexual behaviour. The dependent variables included: unprotected sex at last encounter, multiple and concurrent sexual partnerships in last 12 months. RESULTS: When we controlled for potential confounding effects of education, age, marital status, type of residence, region of residence and religion, men in the middle wealth category of the population were less likely to have engaged in unprotected sex in the last encounter with a nonspousal cohabiting partner (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.22 to 0.76). Wealth was found to be not statistically significantly associated with multiple and concurrent sexual partnerships. CONCLUSION: Wealthy men in Zimbabwe are less likely to engage in unprotected sex. Wealth’s association with multiple and concurrent sexual partnerships was not confirmed in this study. Equitable distribution of wealth and sound economic policies are critical in improving the general welfare of nationals so as to reduce or eliminate some of the factors that cloud the associations between socioeconomic and demographic factors and sexual behaviours of individuals. Policies and programs that recommend deferral of gratification remain critical in order to reduce number of partners.

No entanto, o processo formativo de professores geralmente não tem tais assuntos como necessários de serem abrangidos. As demandas escolares, porém, evidenciam que é imprescindível que os professores sejam devidamente capacitados para atuar e enfrentar os diversos desafios relacionados à abordagem da sexualidade, assim como, da implementação de programas de educação sexual. Pensando nisso, alguns profissionais destas áreas têm feito a junção da Educação a Distância com as Tecnologias Digitas, e criado cursos a distância com momentos presenciais, na tentativa de sanar a lacuna formativa destes professores no tocante a estes temas. Frente ao exposto, o objetivo geral do presente trabalho é analisar a estrutura e os conteúdos desenvolvidos em cursos a distância, com momentos presenciais de formação de professores em sexualidade e ES, por meio de documentação e entrevista com os responsáveis pelo mesmo. De acordo com as constatações realizadas, os resultados permitiram concluir que: as formações têm contribuído para disseminar os conteúdos da educação sexual nos diferentes estados brasileiros, porém, padecem da falta de continuidade e acompanhamento dos professores, tornando difícil uma avaliação a longo prazo que mostre se a forma, assim como o conteúdo aplicados foram realmente efetivos no que se propuseram; que esse tipo de formação não exclui a necessidade de que haja formação inicial com disciplinas que abordem conteúdos relativos à educação sexual; que todos os cursos se atentaram em entrelaçar os temas com a escola, o currículo e o PCN, o que facilita o trabalho em sala de aula e se aproxima da prática; e que, todos os cursos analisados foram pensados a partir da ótica de que as Tecnologias Digitais quando usadas a favor da educação... / Abstract: Sexuality and sex education are issues that need to be properly discussed in schools. However, the formation process of teachers generally do not have such issues as needed to be covered. The school demands, however, show that it is essential that teachers are properly trained to work and face the various challenges related to sexuality approach, as well as the implementation of sex education programs. With that in mind, some professionals in these areas have made the junction of Distance Learning with Digital Technologies, and created distance learning courses with classroom moments in an attempt to remedy the gap training of these teachers regarding these issues. Based on these, the general objective of this study is to analyze the structure and content developed in distance learning courses with face moments of teacher training in sexuality and ES, through documentation and interviews with those responsible for it. According to the findings made, the results showed that: the formations have contributed to disseminate the content of sex education in different Brazilian states, however, suffer from the lack of continuity and follow-up of teachers, making it difficult to assess the long-term to show if the shape, and the contents were actually applied in effective they have been proposed; that such training does not exclude the need that there is initial training with disciplines that address contents related to sex education; all courses are attempted in interweaving the issues with the school, the curriculum and the NCP, which facilitates the work in the classroom and practical approaches; and that all the analyzed courses were designed from the perspective of the Digital Technologies when used for education, can help teachers to have training with regard to sex education. We also note that the training will not be able to fully break away from sexuality view that all are conditioned for ... / Mestre

A presente tese é uma proposta teórico-interpretativa em sexualidade infantil e sua contribuição à área da educação sexual, numa teorização que sistematiza a produção de conhecimento sobre o tema. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica-documental, conforme a vertente construtivista da GT em Kathy Charmaz. Sob o descritor "sexualidade infantil" foram acessados e codificados artigos, monografias, dissertações e teses indexados no Google Acadêmico, no período de 2004 a 2014, bem como dissertações e teses na fase de saturação dos dados, realizado no Banco de Teses da CAPES (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior). Na codificação que permitiu a organização dos fragmentos dos textos indexados originaram-se as Sentenças Categorias Codificadas (SCC). Estas SCC são o primeiro produto resultante da codificação dos fragmentos dos textos. As SCC geraram as Unidades Categorias (UC) que são um segundo produto, seguindo o método da GT, que aglutinam e reagrupam as SCC na busca de um contorno simplificador para a teorização em curso. Estas UC permitiram a sistematização dos primeiros conceitos da teorização que são as Unidades Conceituais Provisórias (UCP), base para os Memorandos que levam a teorização em sexualidade infantil. Esta teorização se fundamenta em três considerações: (1) a sexualidade infantil tem seu referencial na obra freudiana e na psicanálise até a contemporaneidade; (2) o cotidiano escolar evidencia duas situações que se complementam, gerando a necessidade de uma ação tanto no campo da formação inicial de professores em Pedagogia, como na formação continuada nas Redes de Ensino públicas e particulares/privadas; (3) a temática das políticas públicas de proteção à sexualidade infantil, como direito da criança pequena. Na... / Abstract: The Grounded Theory (GT) is an inductive research method that is based on the everyday data analysis to generate theory. This thesis is a theoretical and interpretative proposal on child sexuality and its contribution to the area of sex education, a theory which organizes the production of knowledge on the subject. It is a bibliographical and documentary research, as the constructivist aspect of GT Kathy Charmaz. Under the main heading "infantile sexuality" were accessed and coded articles, monographs, dissertations and indexed theses in Google Scholar, from 2004 to 2014, as well as dissertations and theses in the data loading phase, held at the Bank of CAPES Theses (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior). The encoding that allowed the organization of the fragments of the indexed texts originated in the Sentences categories Coded (SCC). These SCC is the first product resulting from the coding of the fragments of the texts. The SCC generated Categories Units (UC) that are a second product, following the GT method, which coalesce and regroup the SCC in the search for a simplifying contour to theorizing in progress. These UC enabled the systematization of the first concepts of the theory that it is the Provisional Concept Units (UCP), the Memorandum basis for the theory that lead in children's sexuality. This theory is based on three considerations: (1) child sexuality has its reference in Freud and psychoanalysis to the contemporary; (2) the school routine shows two situations that complement each other, creating the need for action both in the field of initial teacher training in pedagogy, and in continuing education in public and private / private education networks; (3) the issue of public policies for protection of children's sexuality as a right of the small child. The first consideration is evident in the privilege of a theoretical approach to the field of psychology explanations that support sexuality in... / Doutor

Little research attention has been paid to forensic populations of male survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), where it is understood that prevalence rates are high. This study aimed to survey a sample of 40 men in a maximum security hospital who had experienced childhood sexual interaction (CSI). The study profiled the psychological functioning of the sample through a number of standardised measures and a semi-structured interview. In addition, the meanings that the men attached to their childhood sexual experiences,t heir 'constructions' of them, were also examined, along with their self-report of distress related to these experiences. The limited research conducted with male survivors suggests that men tend to construct CSI in more positive or neutral terms than female survivors, and are less likely to report distress related to the experience. However, men's experiences of CSI have still shown similar levels of association with psychological symptomatology in adulthood. This apparent discrepancy has been understood in terms of male socialisation. The predictions that the men in this sample would show high levels of psychological symptomatology, which would be associated with the characteristics of CSI, and that the majority of them would describe positive or neutral constructions of CSI, and would tend to report no distress related to their experiences, were supported in this study. The implications of these findings are discussed. Overall, it is stressed that in order to fully understand the impact of CSA on males, and to provide appropriate approaches to interventions, a fuller appreciation of the role of male socialisation must be achieved.

Several attempts have been made to identify groups at high risks for exhibiting sexually aggressive behaviors. In the same vein, this study examines the relationship between athletic participation and sexual aggression with a focus on wrestlers. The author hypothesized that wrestling participation and athletic participation would be positively correlated with sexual aggression. However, it was also hypothesized that this relationship would be mediated by masculinity (gender role conflict) and masculinity related variables (sexual entitlement and competitiveness). A one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) followed by post hoc tests found no significant difference between Wrestlers and Non-Athletes on levels of sexual aggression at the Q = .05 level. Similarly, no significant differences were found between Other Athletes and Non-Athletes at the same alpha level. However, a near significant difference (Q = .058) was found between Multisport Athletes and Other Athletes. A regression analysis was also conducted, which found sexual entitlement, wrestling participation, and drinking intensity as significant predictors of sexual aggression. However, a partial correlation analysis found no mediating effects between wrestling participation and sexual aggression when sexual entitlement and drinking intensity were held constant. Recommendations for rape prevention programs were made based on these findings. / 2031-01-01
