Efeitos de consequências culturais sobre estimativas de controle em trios e sobre o responder individual em uma tarefa com pontos não contingentes / Effects of cultural consequences on estimates of control in trios and on the individual responding in a task involving non-contingent points

Araújo, Lorena Alves de Souza 23 May 2014 (has links)
Quando colocadas em situações em que os eventos ambientais são independentes do responder, pessoas podem desenvolver uma expectativa inapropriada de que têm controle comportamental sobre o ambiente. Esse fenômeno é conhecido como ilusão de controle. Este estudo investigou os efeitos de consequências culturais sobre as estimativas de controle apresentadas consensualmente por um trio de participantes, que trabalharam em uma tarefa em que pontos foram apresentados independentemente do responder. 38 universitários de diversos cursos de graduação participaram de 2 experimentos: no Experimento 1, quatro Trios realizaram a tarefa experimental e no Experimento 2, duas Culturas envolveram a substituição de participantes. Duas atividades caracterizavam um ciclo completo: (a) em primeiro lugar, uma tarefa individual na qual pontos foram apresentados na tela do computador, em um esquema múltiplo com componentes de tempo variável e extinção (mult VT EXT). Abaixo do rótulo de pontos, havia um retângulo, que mudava de cor a depender do componente do esquema, manipulável pelos participantes por meio de respostas de teclar na barra de espaço do teclado. (b) Em segundo lugar, após o término da tarefa no computador, os participantes responderam consensualmente sobre o controle que tinham na produção dos pontos em uma escala que variou entre depender pouco (0) e depender muito (10). Consequências culturais foram apresentadas a depender da estimativa de controle e da condição vigente. Na condição A, a consequência cultural foi apresentada contingente a estimativas de controle entre 7 e 10. Já na condição B, a consequência cultural foi contingente a estimativas entre 0 e 3. Os resultados encontrados contribuem tanto para os estudos sobre seleção cultural como os que investigam a ilusão de controle, já que demonstram a seleção de estimativas de controle e efeitos da consequência cultural no responder individual, bem como evidenciam a independência entre comportamento verbal e não verbal em uma situação na qual eventos ambientais são apresentados independentemente do responder / When people are exposed to situations with non-contingent events, they may develop an erroneous expectation of having comportamental control over the environment. This phenomenon is known as illusion of control. This study investigated the effects of cultural consequences on the estimate of control presented consensually by a trio of participants who has taken part in a task in which points were presented independently of what they made. 38 undergraduate students from a variety of courses participated in two experiments: in Experiment 1, four trios completed an experimental task, while in Experiment 2 there were two Cultures involving replacement of participants. Two activities characterized a complete cycle: (a) first of all, a basic individuak task, in which points were presented on the computer screen in a multiple schedule with variable time and extinction components (mult VT EXT). Bellow the points counter, there was a retangle manipulated by the participants by responses on the space bar of a keyborad. The retangles colour changed depending on the schedule component. (b) Then, after completing the computer task, participants consensually answered a question about the control they had in the production of points in a scale from low control (0) to high control (10). Cultural consequences were presented depending on the estimate of control and on the manipulated condition. In condition A, the consequence was presented contingent to estimates of control from 7 to 10; while in condition B the cultural consequence was contingent to estimates from 0 to 3. The results contribute to studies about cultural selection and illusion of control, since they have showed the selection of estimates of control and effects of cultural consequence on individual responding as well as evidence the independency of verbal and non verbal behavior in situations in which environmental events are presented non-contigently

Becoming a Rebel in the National Liberation Army : Former Combatants’ perspectives on Rebel Participation in Macedonia

Ottosson, Viktor January 2024 (has links)
The case of the National Liberation Army (NLA) in Macedonia, taking up arms against the state in 2001, is a largely underrepresented in the literature. Thus, basing this study on the theory of contingent events and a relational perspective, the purpose of this study is to examine the processes and motives behind individuals joining the National Liberation Army in Macedonia. This was done by conducting semi-structured interviews with former rebels and combatants from Macedonia and analysing the material qualitatively, using the constant comparative method through the lens of the theory. The study of civil wars and rebel participation and mobilisation have long been dominated by quantitative studies and rational choice theory, which is why this study instead is qualitative in nature and based on the personal and individual perspectives of former combatants. I found that the main reasoning behind joining the NLA was to increase the rights for Albanians in Macedonia. Further, rebel participation, as well as the development of the motives behind it, were the result of a process of experiencing discrimination and contingent events. The eruption of violence can be contributed to the relationship and interactions between the Albanians experiencing discrimination and the Macedonian state, having acted as an oppressor. Thus, the results include not only understanding why individuals joined the NLA, but also how.
