The problem of this study was to assess sociometric status and selected variables relative to the selection and training of counselors. The relationship of sociometric status and six variables were investigated. The six variables were counselor evaluation rating, grade earned in a graduate course in group counseling, GRE score, chronological age, gender, and possibility of modification of preliminary perceptions of social choice by a graduate level course in group counseling. It was concluded that sociometrically highly chosen counselors-in-training tend to receive high counselor evaluation ratings. Those individuals who received high grades in a group counseling course that is part lecture and part experiential (participation in a laboratory group) also tended to receive high sociometric scores. This was not true for the students enrolled in a graduate admission seminar course that was all lecture. The sociometric status of counselors-in-training does not appear to be related to GRE scores, age, or gender. The mean sociometric status score of the group studied was not significantly modified by a graduate course in group counseling.

The diploma work deals with social issues of specific learning disabilities at primary school. For research I used standardized tests and questionnaires that I gave to chosen pupils from the 4th, 5th and 6th grades. The aim of my dissertation is to find out if specific learning disability can influence pupil´s self-confidence and their sociometric position in the class.

É necessário avaliar não apenas o aspecto motor na DP, mas, também, os aspectos emocionais, comportamentais e sociais que envolvem o paciente e seus familiares, os quais são condições essenciais para o bem-estar e no processo de lidar com a doença. Todos os membros da família se deparam com um processo de adaptação causando mudanças nas relações familiares e em suas próprias vidas. Os aspectos psicológicos abordados na literatura com DP envolvem a qualidade de vida tanto do paciente e dos cuidadores e sentimentos e comportamentos de ambos. Além destes aspectos, é necessário avaliar a dinâmica familiar frente à convivência com a doença. Normalmente, ao lidar com uma enfermidade crônica, os pacientes e familiares experienciam sentimentos e comportamentos novos, os quais, muitas vezes, podem modificar as relações e vínculos dentro da família. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar e analisar os aspectos emocionais e comportamentais das relações entre paciente e seus familiares frente à DP. Foram avaliados 8 pacientes, 6 homens e 2 mulheres com idade entre 44-63 anos (M=55) com doença de Parkinson idiopática e seus familiares, selecionados do ambulatório de neurologia do HC/Unicamp. Esta pesquisa utilizou a análise clínica-qualitativa, com abordagem fenomenológica, psicodramática. Para avaliação dos sujeitos foram utilizados: um questionário semi-estruturado e dramatização de cenas, anterior e posterior ao surgimento da DP. O questionário semi-estruturado contém 16 questões relacionadas à rotina diária, diagnóstico, relacionamento familiar e estratégias de enfrentamento. Este estudo demonstrou que o surgimento da DP altera significativamente os papéis sociais do paciente e causa impacto negativo nas relações familiares, modificando os vínculos e a dinâmica familiar dessas pessoas. / Abstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive disease with lifelong, symptom-oriented medical treatment. It can be controlled but not cured. It is know that is quite necessary not only to evaluate the motor aspects on Parkinson's patients but also the social, emotional and behavioral aspects that involve both the patients and their families, due to the fact that those are essential condition for the well being at the process of coping with the disease. All members of the family, including the children, are faced with adapting to the changes the disease causes in their loved one and consequently in their own lives. As the disease progress, family members must assume many responsibilities which previously had been handled by the person with PD. The psychological approach on PD found in the literature involves Quality of Life (QuoL) and feelings and behaviors from both patients and their families. In addition to these aspects, it is necessary to asses the interpersonal relationship in the familial dynamic toward living with the disease. Normally, these patients cope with this disease and it triggers feelings and behaviors never experience before which can modify the relations and ties on these families. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and to analyse the emotional and behavioral aspects from the interpersonal relationship between patients and their families toward Parkinson's disease (PD). Eight patients, with idiopathic PD and their families recruited from the school clinical Hospital/Unicamp. This research was qualitatively analyzed. A semi-structured protocol containing 16 questions and role play of situations to aim explore the feelings and behaviors toward PD were used to evaluate the subjects. The study has demonstrated the negative burden that PD causes on patients' life and their families. / Doutorado / Ciencias Biomedicas / Doutor em Ciências Médicas

A seleção deste objeto de estudo decorreu da minha posição, que reconhece a Psicologia como fruto da história enquanto constituinte da história, na medida em que exprime o homem, seus valores, seus vínculos e suas relações, expressando o que se constrói entre o coletivo e a subjetividade. A escolha do campo da Psicologia no mundo do trabalho vem da necessidade de compreender a constituição desta Psicologia e o processo de modernização brasileira. Para a realização deste objetivo, delimitei os três estados ¿ São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e Minas Gerais ¿ como campo de pesquisa, e tomei como objeto de estudo arqueológico histórico quatro instituições: o Instituto de Organização Racional do Trabalho ¿ IDORT (1931), em São Paulo, a primeira instituição psicométrica a se constituir relacionada ao aceleramento da industrialização; o Instituto de Seleção e Orientação Profissional ¿ o ISOP (1947), no Rio de Janeiro, criado pela FGV (1944) e que, mais tarde, tornou-se o primeiro curso de pós-graduação em Psicologia; o Serviço de Orientação e Seleção Profissional ¿ o SOSP (1949), em Minas Gerais, sendo o primeiro serviço de Psicometria criado pelo Estado (atualmente o CENPA ¿ UEMG); e o Departamento de Orientação e Treinamento do Banco da Lavoura de Minas Gerais (Banco Real) ¿ o DOT (1958), responsável pela chegada da Psicologia Humanista ao processo de modernização industrial. Como metodologia principal, usei três autores: Michel Foucault (1926-1984), Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) e Walter Benjamim (1892-1940), procurando relacioná-los, em especial, na análise dos relatórios de trabalho de psicologistas e psicólogos. Três perguntas acompanharam todo o processo de pesquisa, buscando evidenciar qual o conceito de Psicologia, de Trabalho e de Saúde que estas Psicologias desenvolveram. A tese principal, que mais adiante estará sendo apresentada, é a de que, enquanto a Psicologia esteve centrada na psicometria ela permaneceu uma ciência comportamental, que visava treinar eficiência, tomando o trabalho como produção de lucro e a saúde como resistência ao cansaço. E que, a Psicologia ao passar da psicometria para a sociometria, flexibilizou a aridez daquela, porém continuando no mesmo paradigma, apesar de passar a ser Humanista. Conceitua o trabalho como um processo de realização humana, em que conflitos velados e explícitos estão presentes, vendo a saúde como uma conquista grupal, e o trabalhador sempre em relação. O Psicodrama foi o primeiro a propor o grupo como palco de protagonização dos trabalhadores, como lugar das pequenas revoluções- geradas nas intersubjetividades ¿ a possibilidade revolucionária para o trabalhador. Apesar desta inovação, a Psicologia se mantém em relação de subordinação com o Capital. Em síntese, o trabalho aqui apresentado é uma reflexão que pretende debates sobre a Psicologia: suas potencialidades de construção, destruição, seus saberes e poderes nas relações com a modernidade; também espero que esta pesquisa lance luz à urgência em trabalharmos esta ciência como uma produção histórica, buscando (re)visitar o passado em busca do futuro / Abstract: The purpose of this work is to contribute for the knowledge of History and of the Memory of Psychology in the world of work, seeking relations between the process of Industrialization in Brazil and Psychology. The selection of this object of study elapsed from my position that sees Psychology as a result of history meanwhile it is part of history, in the sense that it expresses man, his values, his connections and relations, expressing what is built between the group and subjectivity. The choice of the field of Psychology in the world of work comes from the need of comprehending the constitution of this Psychology and the process of Brazilian modernization. For the achievement of this target I have delimited the three states ¿ São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais ¿ as a field of research and used as object of work the archeological study of four institutions. The Institute of Rational Organization of Work (Instituto de Organização Racional do Trabalho) ¿ IDORT (1931), in São Paulo, the first psychometric institution to be constituted with relations to acceleration of industrialization. The Institute of Selection and Professional Orientation (Instituto de Seleção e Orientação Profissional) ¿ ISOP (1947), in Rio de Janeiro, created by FGV (1944) and that, later on has become the first graduate school in Psychology. The Service of Orientation and Professional Selection (Serviço de Orientação e Seleção Profissional) ¿ SOSP (1949), in Minas Gerais, as the first Psychometric service created by the state (currently CENPA¿ UEMG). The Department of Orientation and Training (Departamento de Orientação e Treinamento) of the Banco da Lavoura de Minas Gerais (Banco Real) ¿ DOT (1958), responsible for the beginning of the Humanistic Psychology in the process of industrial modernization. As the main methodology three authors were used: Michel Foucault (1926-1984), Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) e Walter Benjamim (1892-1940), in an attempt of relating them, and specially, in the analysis of the work reports of these psychologists and psycho logs. Three questions have followed the entire research process, while trying to put in evidence which concept if psychology, of work, and of health these Psychologies have developed. The main thesis that will be presented later is that while Psychology had been centered in psychometry it remained a behavioral science that aimed the practice of efficiency, making use of work as a generator of profit and health as a resistance to tiredness. And that Psychology, while passing from psychometry to sociometry and thus flexibilized its dryness remaining in the same paradigm, despite becoming Humanistic. It defines work as a process of human achievement, where hidden and explicit conflicts are present, and health as a groupal conquest, positioning the worker always in relation. Psychodrama was pioneer in proposing the group as the stage of the workers role playing, as the stage of the small revolutions generated in the intersubjectivities ¿ a revolutionary possibility for the worker. Despite this innovation, Psychology remains in a subordinated relation with the capital. In short, the work that is to be presented here attempts to be a reflection, that produces reflections about Psychology: its potentials of building, destroying, its knowledge and powers on the relations with modernity, as well as flashing light in the urge of working this science as a historic production trying to (re)visit past in search of the future / Doutorado / Saude Coletiva / Doutor em Saude Coletiva

This study's problem concerned the conflict between the ethical desirability of giving participants relevant information about themselves versus the current practice of withholding sociometric data. Group counseling was selected to provide a relative basis for comparison of the effects of structured sociometric feedback (SSF). This study's ultimate purpose was to gather empirical evidence concerning the appropriateness and safety of conveying sociometric data to participants of sociometric studies.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of segregation on the flexibility of individuals in the Negro and Anglo-American ethnic groups and to investigate the relationship between variations in flexibility and sociometric choices within the peer group.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of the psychological sex role of a person making sociometric nominations to the psychological sex role of such persons nominated. It was hypothesized that similar psychological and biological sexed persons would choose each other as friends and that similar psychological but opposite biological sexed persons would reject each other as non-friends.

The purpose of this study is to describe the effect of sociometric grouping on adolescents' concept of themselves in relation to society.

Siguiendo la tendencia de otros países de la región, el feminici­dio —el asesinato de mujeres por razones de género— ha sido incorporado en la legislación peruana como un tipo penal. Dicha inclusión es resultado del interés del Estado y las organizaciones de la sociedad civil en producir políticas dirigidas a reducir la violen­cia de género, y ha marchado en correlato a un discurso sobre «el aumento del feminicidio» y a la aparición sistemática de noticias mediáticas e informes oficiales que advierten sobre su crecimiento exponencial. Este artículo muestra la situación del feminicidio en el Perú a través de una perspectiva comparada. El objetivo es dar cuenta de la incidencia del feminicidio en términos sociométricos y mostrar que no se trata de un fenómeno en crecimiento exponencial en términos epidemiológicos. Esto en función de reconocer dos problemas: por un lado, la manera de construir indicadores para cifras de registro criminal y sus formas de medición; por otro, para dar cuenta de la importancia de este fenómeno en una estructura de violencia más compleja y extendida. / Like other countries in the region, femicide—the gender-based murdering of women—has been incorporated into Peruvian law as a criminal offense. This inclusion is the result of the government and civil society organizations interest in producing policies aimed at reducing gender-based violence, and it has emerged as a result of a debate regarding «the increase in femicide» and the systematic appearance of media stories and official reports warning of an exponential growth. This article focuses upon the problem of femicide in Peru through a comparative approach. The aim is to account for the incidence of femicide in sociometric terms and demonstrate that this is not a phenomenon of exponential growth in epidemiological terms. This is achieved through the recognition of two issues: on the one hand, the way indicators are produced for criminal record figures and the ways these are measured; and on the other hand, through recognition of the importance of the significance of this phenomenon within a more complex and broader structure of violence.

This study investigated the effects of personality characteristics on emergent leadership in small group settings. Two instruments were used to assess personality factors: The BASIS-A and the California Personality Inventory (CPI). A sociometric tool was developed to elicit leader ranking of female group members. The BASIS-A, was used to test for Taking Charge and Wanting Recognition lifestyles in women who emerged as leaders. The CPI was used to assess female emergent leaders for Dominance and Leadership Potential. The two instruments and a sociometric form were distributed to 115 female graduate counselor-in-training students the last week of their group counseling experience. This survey resulted in 55 respondents (N=55) from eleven discussion groups. It was expected that women who had the highest averaged leader rank would demonstrate higher test scores in Dominance, Leadership Potential, Taking Charge, and Wanting Recognition than women who received a lower averaged leader rank. It was also thought that these four test factors would be highly related. If so, a case would be made to use the BASIS-A as an emergent leader assessment tool because it is consistently based in one psychological theory. No significant effect was found between the highest leader rank and three of the test measures: Dominance, Leadership Potential, and Taking Charge. Using four one-way ANOVAs, a significant effect was found between highest leader rank and Wanting Recognition. This demonstrated that individuals high in interpersonal caution, empathy, and with a need to succeed emerged as leaders. Possible explanations for this finding were discussed. Significant relationships were found using the Pearson-r correlation statistic between three of the four test variables. From the CPI, the Dominance and Leadership Potential scales were highly correlated to the BASIS-A Taking Charge life-style. The BASIS-A Wanting Recognition lifestyle was not related to either Dominance or Leadership Potential. Unexpectedly, a significant relationship was found in this population between Wanting Recognition and Taking Charge. Perhaps due to the limited inter-correlational analysis and small sample, these research results did not support using the BASIS-A as a sole emergent leader assessment. More research is needed before such a case can be made.
