La quantitat de demandes ateses d'alumnes que mostren comportaments agressius a l'escola fa palès que actualment el problema de la violència en els centres educatius suscita molta polèmica. Podem trobar que en l'última dècada s'han dut a terme molts estudis per tal d'esbrinar els tipus de comportament agressiu que es donen a l'escola, la quantitat d'agressions que hi tenen lloc i les causes de l'agressivitat. De tota manera, malgrat aquesta sèrie d'estudis, el problema de la violència en els centres d'Educació Secundària Obligatòria sembla no eradicar-se. Aquesta realitat em va portar a pensar que devia estar passant alguna cosa perquè els comportaments agressius dins els centres educatius anessin creixent. És a dir, que l'augment d'aquests comportaments disruptius pot estar relacionat amb el fet que aquesta mena de conductes siguin reforçades per les mateixes mesures adoptades per encarar aquesta problemàtica. Aquesta tesi doctoral pretén trobar resposta a aquest conflicte, partint de l'observació de quina és la realitat d'un institut concret i realitzant una intervenció a nivell emocional en els joves que estiguin etiquetats de conflictius al seu centre escolar, des d'un model de Diagnòstic-intervenció concret, el model Humanista-Estratègic.A partir d'aquesta experiència, s'ha elaborat una proposta amb l'objectiu de millorar l'atenció psicopedagògica que reben aquests estudiants. L'objectiu general, per tant, és aportar noves vies d'intervenció, i alhora millorar la qualitat de vida d'aquests nois i noies, que en definitiva és l'objectiu principal i últim de qualsevol psicopedagog.En el primer capítol exposo la Base teòrica del Model de Diagnòstic-Intervenció Humanista-Estratègic, de la qual parteixo per explicar els comportaments agressius en els alumnes. També explico la concepció que adopten altres models respecte de l'agressivitat humana; i finalment exposo els objectius. En el segon capítol descric la metodologia emprada en la recerca per tal d'assolir els objectius plantejats. El capítol tercer correspon a la presentació dels resultats. A la primera part presento els resultats obtinguts en l'estudi de casos, i a la segona els resultats de la valoració que fan diferents professionals del món de l'educació de l'atenció que es dóna en l'Educació Secundària Obligatòria als nois i noies que presenten problemes d'agressivitat. En el capítol quart duc a terme la discussió centrada en els resultats obtinguts i en la comparació amb els resultats de les investigacions exposades en el primer capítol. També hi aporto una proposta de millora per a l'atenció i la prevenció de l'agressivitat dins els centres educatius. En el capítol cinquè presento les conclusions de la nostra recerca.

There were 203 participants in this study, 100 were in-patients with cardiovascular disease and 103 control group healthy adults. 88 of them were men (43,3 %) and 115 women (56,7 %) between 35 and 89 years of age, mean of age is 62,21 years (SD.=10,855). Health locus of control was assassed with Multidimesional Health Locus of Control Scale, A form (MHLC; Wallston, Wallston, DeVellis, 1978). Depessiveness was assessed with Beck Depression Inventory (BD; Beck, Ward, Mendelson, Mock, Erbaugh, 1961) and aggressiveness - with The Displaced Aggression Questionnaire (DAQ; Denson, Pedersen, Miller, 2006). Patients with cardiovascular disease are more depressive and express more aggressiveness in affective and cognitive dimensions comparing with healthy population. Patients are more prone to external powerful others health locus of control, also men – to inner health locus of control. Women express higher scores in affective dimension agressiveness and powerful others health locus of control in comparison to men. Lower age is related with higher expressed aggressiveness in patients group, but, conversely, older men express higher behavioral displaced aggression, and women – depressiveness. There were no significant differences according to family state, in contrast to healthy population, what shows that... [to full text]

The research reported in this thesis investigated the reputational orientations and aggressive behaviour of primary school aged bullies. It also sought to determine whether the reputational orientations of bullies who were loners differed to those who had established friendship networks. To achieve the research aims four separate yet inter-related studies were conducted. Study One explored the construct of reputation and its relevance to the bullying behaviours of 23 male and 23 female Grade 5 (10 year old) children from eight separate primary schools. All of these children had been suspended from school because of their bullying. Semi structured interviews revealed that reputation was an important construct to bullies, primarily because of the feelings of strength, power, and social status attributed to them by others as a result of their bullying. They also reported that the type of image and status they attained from bullying others was what they were actively seeking. To achieve their desired image different types of overt and covert bullying acts were perpetrated. The bullies also revealed that they carefully selected the physical locations where they bullied others so as to maximize the visibility of their actions to others. The school oval, playground and toilets were the most popular locations, but the use of new media such as mobile phones and the internet allowed them to bully others without the presence of an audience. The bullies also reported that their victims communicated what had happened to them to others, which disseminated their actions to a wider audience. It was clearly evident from Study One that the construct of reputation was important to bullies and was worthy of further investigation.

The past 20 years have seen a growing interest amongst researchers into indirect forms of aggression and bullying. The evidence suggests that covert forms of aggression are largely used by adolescent girls as a means of inflicting harm on another and that the effects of such interactions can be detrimental to the individual's psychological and emotional well-being. This study aims to explore the social experiences of four adolescent girls, with particular reference to indirect aggression practices that they may have encountered. Data was collected in the form of unstructured interviews, which were conducted with each participant separately. Prominent themes were then identified and explored by the researcher. This was done from a systemic epistemological stance within the post-modern paradigm. A qualitative methodological design was followed allowing for the personal experiences and meaning attributions of each participant to come to the fore. The study's results were presented in the form of descriptive text with particular reference to the systemic processes that came to the fore. Overall, the study explicated the unique experiences of four adolescent girls with indirect aggression and how these experiences are interwoven with systemic processes that take place in social groups. / Psychology / M.

No. of bitstreams: 1 DissGC.pdf: 2563495 bytes, checksum: fd5ca1cd7079816cbe9e87424435b22d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-03-06 / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) / During the pre-election period of the presidential election in 2014, the news and commentaries about the political campaigns of the presidential candidates portrayed aggressive speeches in debates, on social media, in television campaigns, and even on official websites. This occurred both in the first round of the election and in the second, however, in a fierce dispute for winning the presidency, the second round between the President Dilma Rousseff (PT) and the former Senator Aécio Neves (PSDB) was marked by confrontation, characterized as aggressive and heated. It is important to emphasize that these news and comments about the aggressiveness of the campaign are also discursive constructions, present an impression that attest to an increase in aggressiveness, reason why we cannot consider them as a presupposition and a starting point for analysis. However, the constant reproduction of discourses that characterize the campaign of 2014 as aggressive, already constitutes a pertinent indicator for analysis of what was understood as insult, aggression. Other important issues that drive us to look at this campaign are the change in the organization of television debates - direct interaction between the candidates, positioned face to face -, the intensification of the use of social networks, as well as the candidates' official sites, among other aspects that would favour a possible increase of the aggressiveness or the production of a greater visibility of what is considered aggressive. Given the peculiarities of the organization and functioning of the mediums (debates, sites, social networks and blogs) in this campaign, and the emergence of discourses that characterize it as aggressive, we attempt to analyze the discourse said aggressive, trying to understand its formulation and materialization in the political discourse through the resources of irony, theme selection, derisive speech, swearing, gestures, tone of speech, allusion, among others. What would be the aggressive, bitter, disrespectful discourse? How does it materialize in political discourse? Guided by these research questions and based on the theory of French Discourse analysis, we propose the analysis of televised political debates, images that circulated in social networks (Facebook, Blogs), as well as on the official websites of the campaigns, during the pre-election period, with the goal of understanding, currently, the production and circulation of the discourse so-called aggressive in Brazil. / Durante o período pré-eleitoral das eleições presidenciais no pleito de 2014, as notícias e os comentários acerca das campanhas políticas dos candidatos à presidência foram de que nelas se adotaram discursos agressivos, seja nos debates, nas redes sociais, nas campanhas televisivas, ou mesmo nos sites oficiais de campanha. Isso se deu tanto no primeiro turno quanto no segundo, entretanto, em um quadro de disputa mais acirrada pela sucessão presidencial, o período referente ao segundo turno, entre a presidente Dilma Rousseff (PT) e o ex-senador Aécio Neves (PSDB), foi marcado pelo confronto também dito ainda mais agressivo e acalorado. É importante ressaltar que estas notícias e comentários sobre a agressividade da referida campanha são também construções discursivas, apresentam uma impressão que atestam um aumento da agressividade, motivo pelo qual não podemos tomá-las como pressuposto e ponto de partida para análise. Porém, a constante reprodução de discursos que caracterizam a campanha de 2014 como agressiva, já constitui um indício pertinente para análise do que se compreendeu como insulto, agressão. Outras importantes questões que nos impulsionam a olhar para esta campanha é a própria mudança da organização dos debates televisivos – interlocução direta entre os candidatos, posicionados frente a frente - , a intensificação do uso das redes sociais, bem como dos sites oficiais dos candidatos, dentre outros aspectos que favoreceriam um possível aumento da agressividade ou a produção de uma maior visibilidade do dito agressivo. Tendo em vista as particularidades referentes à organização e funcionamento dos médiuns (debates, sites, redes sociais e blogs) nesta campanha, e a emergência de discursos que a caracterizam como agressiva, elegemos como objetivo deste trabalho a análise do discurso dito agressivo, buscando compreender sua formulação e materialização no discurso político, a qual pode se dar pelos recursos da ironia, da seleção temática, do dizer derrisório, do escracho, da gestualidade, do tom de fala, da alusão, dentre outros. O que seria o discurso agressivo, ácido, desrespeitoso? Como ele se materializa no discurso político? Orientados por essas perguntas de pesquisa e pelo arcabouço teórico da Análise do discurso de linha francesa, propomos a análise de fragmentos dos debates políticos televisivos, imagens que circularam nas redes sociais (Facebook, Blogs), bem como nos sites oficiais de campanha, no período pré-eleitoral, tendo o objetivo de compreender como se produz e circula o que, no Brasil, se denomina agressivo no discurso político na atualidade.

Orientador: Eliane Gonçalves de Freitas / Banca: Rosana Mattioli / Banca: Mateus José Rodrigues Paranhos da Costa / Resumo: Machos dominantes de Oreochromis niloticus defendem território no substrato, onde escavam ninhos para a reprodução. Alguns sistemas de criação de tilápia do Nilo utilizam tanques sem substrato, assim, testamos se a privação da construção de ninho aumenta a agressividade e interfere no sucesso de acasalamento dos machos dominantes. Foram utilizados dois grupos formados por 2 machos e 3 fêmeas: um com substrato (COM: n = 9), onde o aquário (~140L) continha uma camada de 3 cm de substrato de pedrisco, e um grupo sem substrato (SEM: n = 11) onde os animais foram privados da construção de ninho. Os animais permaneceram agrupados por 10 dias e o comportamento agonístico do macho dominante foi registrado através de quatro sessões de filmagens (20 min cada), sendo a primeira, 24 horas após o agrupamento e as outras três, a cada 72 horas. A agressividade foi inferida pela freqüência total de unidades de alta intensidade (frontal, lateral, paralelo e ondulação) emitidas pelo macho dominante para o submisso e para as fêmeas. A agressividade foi maior no grupo SEM (97.73 l 31.77. 80 min-1) do que no COM (61.75 l 13.24. 80 min-1; Mann-Withney, p = 0.008). Foram analisados a Taxa de Crescimento Específico (TCE) e o Índice Hepatossomático (IHS) dos dominantes como indicador de gasto energético. A TCE e o IHS foram menores para os dominantes que construíram ninhos (TCE: COM 0.86 l 0.44%.10 dia-1; SEM 1.48 l 0.52% .10 dia-1; teste t, p = 0.10; IHS: COM 1.39 l 0.42% .10 dia-1; SEM 2.16 l 0.82% .10 dia-1; teste t, p = 0.10), o que é indicativo de que os machos dominantes gastam energia escavando ninho, diminuindo a energia disponível para os ataques de alta intensidade. Além disso, foram registrados a latência e a porcentagem de desova, sendo esses similares nos grupos COM e SEM. O índice gonadossomático foi também analisado e maior nos dominantes...

Because some kinds of rearing systems of Nile tilapia use tanks with no substrate inside, our aim was to test whether nest digging privation increases aggressiveness in that species. As we have observed spawning in such conditions, we also tested the effect of nesting privation on dominant’s mating success. Two groups formed by 2 males and 3 females each were used: a substrate inside-group (INS; n = 9), whose glass aquaria (~140L) had a 3 cm-layer of gravel, and a non substrate-group (NOS; n = 11) where animals were unable to dig nests. Groups were kept by 10 days and the agonistic behavior of dominant male was video-recorded in 4 sessions (20 min each), the first after 24 hours from grouping and the other 3, every 72 hours. Aggressiveness was inferred by the total frequency of high aggression intensity units (nip, mouthfight, lateral fight and undulation) given by the dominant male in contests with females and subordinate males. The aggressiveness was higher in the NOS (97.73 l 31.77. 80 min-1) than in the INS group (61.75 l 13.24. 80 min-1; Mann-Withney, p = 0.008). We analyzed the Specific Growth Rate and Hepatosomatic Index of dominants as indicators of energy expenditure, whose were higher for dominants that dig nests (SGR: INS 0.86 l 0.44% .10 day-1; NOS 1.48 l 0.52% .10 day- 1; t test, p = 0.10; HIS: INS 1.39 l 0.42% .10 day-1; NOS 2.16 l 0.82% .10 day-1; t test, p = 0.10). Dominant males seem to spend much energy digging nests and deviate energy from high aggressive contests. Moreover, we registered the latency to spawn and the percentage of spawning, whose was similar among INS and NOS groups. Gonadosomatic Index was also analyzed and it was higher in dominant...
