Deliberação, escolha, ação e responsabilidade moral em AristótelesMolon, Marcel André 03 July 2015 (has links)
Especialmente em EN III, Aristóteles dedicou-se a apresentar os elementos que compõem uma teoria da ação. Tal teoria se encontra detalhada no quadro amplo do que se entende por responsabilidade moral e requer a investigação do raciocínio prático implicado nas ações humanas, que é efetivado na escolha deliberada. A ação é sempre aberta aos contrários sendo, portanto, indeterminada, e será voluntária se o princípio motor estiver no agente e as circunstâncias forem conhecidas. Entretanto, nem toda ação voluntária é deliberada, como nos casos em que se age por ímpeto, de modo passional, mas toda escolha deliberada é voluntária. Mas, onde se situa, propriamente, a responsabilidade moral? Basta a voluntariedade da ação ou é necessário que haja deliberação e escolha? Esta pesquisa busca entender tais questões e a relação que há entre a teoria da ação e a virtude, em uma tentativa de melhor compreender os elementos que balizam a tomada de decisão e, em específico, a tomada de decisão no âmbito da gestão empresarial. Para tanto, há que se investigar a importância do bem humano supremo, a felicidade, além da importância da educação correta dos desejos na construção do bom hábito e na verificação das condições de construção da virtude perfeita. O caminho percorrido inclui a análise da motivação das ações e as justificativas para cada etapa na evolução do agente em busca da sua formação na direção da virtude perfeita, que se manifestará nas ações voluntárias, deliberadamente escolhidas. Na busca dos objetivos traçados para esta dissertação, esteve presente um dos preceitos de grande importância em Aristóteles: a atenção à precisão e clareza cabíveis em cada investigação, de acordo com a natureza do objeto investigado. A responsabilidade moral, em Aristóteles, é possível de ser identificada na conjugação das ações praticadas com a disposição de caráter do agente, o que inclui não só a contingência e a circunstância, mas também algo mais complexo, que é justamente o resultado do desenvolvimento pessoal dos potenciais humanos, fruto da soma do que foi apreendido pelo mesmo durante uma vida de aprendizado. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2016-06-27T16:50:58Z

Previous issue date: 2016-06-27 / Especially on EN III, Aristotle devoted himself to present the elements for a theory of action. Such a theory is detailed in the broad picture of what is meant by moral responsibility and requires an investigation of practical reasoning in human actions, which is effective at the deliberate choice. The action is always opened to the contraries and therefore undetermined, and will be voluntary if the principle is in the agent and the circumstances are known. However, not all voluntary action is deliberated, as in cases where the action is based on impulse or passion, but all deliberated choice is voluntary. Moreover, one question arises: where is it placed the moral responsibility itself? Would it be enough the willingness of the action or is it necessary deliberation and choice? This research seeks to understand these issues and the relation between the theory of action and virtue, in an attempt to better understand the elements that guide decision-making and, in particular, decision-making in the context of business management. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the importance of the supreme human good, happiness, and the relevance of proper education of desires on the way of building the good habit and the conditions for perfect virtue. The path taken in this research includes the analysis of the motivation for actions and the justifications for each step in the evolution of the agent in its searching for perfect virtue, which will manifest itself in voluntary and deliberated chosen actions. In pursuit of the goals set for this thesis, one of the very important principles in Aristotle is in place: the constant attention of the accuracy and appropriate clarity in each investigation, according to the nature of the investigated object. Moral responsibility in Aristotle, it is possible to be identified in the combination of the actions taken by the character disposition of the agent, which includes not only the contingency and circumstance, but also a more profound subject, which is, precisely, the result of personal development of personal potentials, as a result of a lifetime of learning summed up.

Do animated TV ads matter? : Exploring Perceptions about Vodacom and Tigo TV ads among University Students in TanzaniaMkhumbi John, Elinami January 2012 (has links)
The focus of the study is to understand the efficiency of Vodacom and Tigo Television animation advertisements from the perspective of university students with and without education in media analysis in Tanzania. Vodacom and Tigo television animation advertisements have been introduced in Tanzania; however, there is little research about the effectiveness of the advertisements for market purposes of the commodities. The overall aim of the study is to investigate university students’ media literacy, their interpretations, and alternative perceptions about Vodacom and Tigo television animation advertisements. The theoretical framework focuses on social action theory which is based on exploring meanings that audience create from the texts they consume from media. The empirical basis of the study consists of interviews and questionnaire. The questionnaire was administered to two separate survey groups of 20 university students each. While one group consisted of students educated in interpreting media, the other group comprised of students not educated in media analysis. In order to achieve the aim of the study, a triangulation method was used to provide a broader and deeper understanding of respondents’ perceptions of the animation TV advertisements. Based on the qualitative approach, five themes were found and regarded as respondents’ views and perceptions. Findings obtained through the quantitative method showed that respondents with media education had positive perceptions of the advertisements and could interpret and understanding them. While students without media education had negative perceptions and most of them could not interpret and understand the advertisements. Further research that will include a diverse sample population from different community groups is suggested.

An Empirical Investigation of the Effectiveness of Using Assigned, Easy Goals to Strengthen Self-efficacy Perceptions and Personal Goals in Complex Task PerformanceEndres, Megan L. (Megan Lee) 12 1900 (has links)
The perception of self-efficacy is a central cognitive construct in explaining motivation. Assigned goals are established in the literature as affecting self-efficacy, but only a few researchers investigated their effects in complex tasks. One stream of research revealed the positive effects of easy goals on performance in a complex task without regard to self-efficacy perceptions. In the present study, the focus was on the effects of assigned, easy goals on self-efficacy and personal goals in complex task performance. It was expected that easy goals would be superior to moderate or impossible goals because the complexity and uncertainty of the task distorts subjects' perceptions of goal difficulty.

DEVELOPMENT OF ICE HOCKEY PLAYERS’ IMAGERY EXPERIENCES : A LONGITUDINAL STUDYWallsbeck, Mikael January 2010 (has links)
<p>The development of imagery has been found in intervention studies. No previous study was found with the purpose of the development of imagery experiences without the influence of an intervention. Therefore the present paper monitored five ice hockey players’ imagery experiences during a season and examined the following objectives: a) The dynamicity and stability of the ice hockey players’ imagery patterns; b) The factors influencing the development of ice hockey players’ imagery experiences; c) Individual differences concerning the imagery experiences. A combination between qualitative and quantitative methods was used in the study. The results showed that the players experienced both stable and dynamic imagery patterns. Based on the Action theory (Nitsch, 1985), personal, environmental and performance/task factors were shown to influence the stability and dynamicity of the players’ idiosyncratic imagery experiences. The results of this study show why imagery experiences are changed and offer great implications to applied work.</p> / <p>Forskning har visat att visualisering kan vara dynamisk över tid. Ingen studie har dock funnits som studerat dynamiken av visualisering utan påverkan av en intervention. Denna studie undersökte därfor fem ishockeyspelares visualiseringsupplevelser under en säsong utan påverkan av en intervention med följande syften: a) dynamiken och stabiliteten hos ishockeyspelarnas visualiseringsmönster; b) vilka faktorer som påverkar utvecklingen av visualiseringsupplevelserna; c) individuella skillnader i visualiseringsupplevelserna. En kombination av kvalitativ och kvantitativ metod behandlades i studien. Resultatet visade att visualiseringsmönstern upplevdes vara stabila och dynamiska över tid. Utifrån Action Theory (Nitsch, 1985) visade studien att personliga, miljö- och prestations/uppgiftsfaktorer påverkade stabiliteten i spelarnas visualiseringsupplevelser. Resultatet från denna studie visar varför visualiseringsupplevelserna förandrades över tid och är en fördelaktig kunskap för idrottspsykologer att tillämpa i det pratiska arbetet med visualisering.</p>
