In hierdie studie is Tourettesindroom as neuro-genetiese toestand aangespreek en die wyse waarop dit in verskillende leer-, gedrags- en emosionele problema by begaafde Tourettesindroomlyers manifesteer. Begaafde Tourettesindroomlyers se relasievorming en leefwereldstigting word gekonstitueer met hul kognitiewe en affektiewe vermoans asook genetiese potensiaal, wat vir beida hul Tourettesindroom en begaafdheid verantwoordelik is. Die verwarring tussen begaafde Tourettesindroomlyers se superieure intellek en hul emosionele onvolwassenheid is die oorsaak van hul relasieprobleme. Negatiewe betekenisgewing en betrokkenheid by hulle relasievorminge bel"nvloed elke faset van hul menswees en gee aanleiding tot die degradering van hul siening van hul eie waarde. Gebrekkige kennis oor begaafdheid en Tourettesindroom veroorsaak dat waardevolle potensiaal en talente vir Suid-Afrika verlore gaan. Daarom moet daar daadwerklike pogings aangewend word om kennis oor begaafde Tourettesindroomlyers aan ouers, skole en universiteite, beskikbaar te stel met 'n konstruktiewe plan van aksie ter ondersteuning van die betrokkenes en tot voordeel van Suid-Afrika. / This study addresses Tourette syndrome as a neuro-genetic condition and the manner whereby it manifests itself in various learning, behavioural and emotional problems experienced by gifted Tourette syndrome sufferers. Their relationship-formation and life world are constituted by their cognitive, emotive and genetic capacity which manifests itself in Tourette syndrome and giftedness. The emotional immaturity which accompanies their superior intellect causes disorientation which results in problems in their relationships. Negative connotations and involvement in their relationship-formation influences each facet of their being and gives rise to the lowering of their perception of their self worth. In South Africa, valuable potential and talent is lost because of an inadequate knowledge of giftedness and Tourette syndrome. Efforts must be directed towards making information about gifted Tourette syndrome sufferers available to parents, schools and universities. A constructive plan of action is necessary that will support gifted Tourette syndrome sufferers to the benefit of South Africa. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Sielkundige Opvoedkunde)

M.A. / This study aims to investigate career maturity and career developmental tasks of cabin crew and ground personnel in an airline. This study set out to measure the level of career maturity as well as the mastery of different career developmental tasks. Fifty-one subjects partook in the study of which 30 persons are ground staff and 21 cabin crew. By taking career maturity and the mastery of certain career developmental tasks into consideration, the researcher can make certain assumptions about the turnover of personnel. The measuring instruments that will be used in this study include the Career Mastery Inventory (Crites, 1990), the Self-Directed Search (Holland, 1985) and the Career Development Questionnaire (Langley, 1989). Research questions that will be part of this study includes: • what level of career maturity was achieved in each of the occupations; • what developmental tasks were achieved, like organizational ability, position performance, work habits and attitudes, advancement, career choice and plans and co-worker relationships; and • what coping mechanisms like adjustive, integrative and non-adjustive coping skills were used in the solving of problems within the organization. These factors will be taken into consideration to research the possible effect on personnel turnover.

O trabalho objetiva articular os possíveis sentidos expressos em letras de rap do cenário paulistano e o processo de amadurecimento emocional, a partir da teoria do pediatra e psicanalista Donald Woods Winnicott. Circunscrevemos a reflexão ao contexto da população juvenil das comunidades periféricas, onde o rap está presente fortemente como gênero musical e, mais do que isso, como instrumento simbólico de expressão e representação de experiências e demandas da comunidade. Segundo essa perspectiva, foram selecionados excertos musicais de rap, alocados em três categorias de análise: a) Rap e os Processos Integrativos; b) Rap e a Socialização Juvenil; e c) A Criatividade no Rap. Comumente, as mensagens manifestadas nas canções de rap narram a realidade vivida pelos moradores das comunidades periféricas dos médios e grandes centros urbanos. São relatos críticos que denunciam os problemas das comunidades, a violência, o tráfico de drogas e as desigualdades político-sociais. Diante desse contexto, os rappers não apenas são os delatores de adversidades, mas assumem também o papel de orientadores da comunidade e da juventude desse território, no que diz respeito ao valor da cultura local e a importância da tomada de atitude para a mudança de vida. Para além dessa compreensão, as letras de rap nos proporcionam também um outro olhar sobre tais jovens, sobretudo em relação a aspectos do processo de amadurecimento emocional, segundo a concepção winnicottiana. Verificamos, com efeito, nos excertos musicais que - mesmo diante de conflitos e vivências difíceis, favorecendo um possível futuro atrelado à criminalidade - outras alternativas também podem ser lançadas a tal juventude, por meio da imersão no movimento do rap. As músicas analisadas retrataram possibilidades de se fazer uso de diversos recursos psíquicos, a fim de colocar as angústias sob domínio egoico, o que conduziria o indivíduo a uma posição ativa e transformadora de si. Com isso, tem-se a possibilidade de criar e reescrever a própria existência, acreditando em sua capacidade para desenvolver algo que ofereça um sentido à vida. O rap pode atuar, assim, como facilitador de conquistas em relação ao amadurecimento e à saúde emocional para a juventude periférica. Além de contribuir ao fortalecimento dos aspectos egoicos, ao desenvolvimento da socialização, o diálogo com os elementos culturais, assim como na sustentação da experiência de uma vida criativa e autêntica / The work aims to articulate the possible senses expressed in rap lyrics in the scenario of São Paulo and the emotional maturing process, through the theory of the pediatrician and psychoanalyst Donald Woods Winnicott. We circumscribe the reflection to the context of the peripheral community of youth population, where rap is strongly present as a musical genre and more than that, as a symbolic instrument of expression and representation of experiences and of community demands. According to this perspective, musical excerpts of rap were selected, placed in three categories of analysis: a) Rap and the Integrative Processes; b) Rap and the youth socialization; and c) The Creativity in Rap. Commonly, the messages manifested in the rap songs narrate the reality lived by the residents of the peripheral community in medium and big urban centers. These are critical reports that denounce the community problems, the violence, the drug trafficking and the public social inequalities. In light of this context, the rappers are not only the whistleblowers of adversities, but they also assume the role as mentors of this community and of the youth people of this territory, concerning the local cultural value and the importance for taking action to change the life. Beyond the understanding, the rap lyrics provide us another perspective on these young people, particularly concerning this aspects of the emotional maturing, according to the winnicottian conception. We verified, in fact, on the music excerpts that even in the face of conflicts and hard experiences, favouring a possible future tied to delinquency other alternatives can also be launched to these youth people, through this immersion on the rap movement. The analyzed songs described the possibilities to use the various psychic resources, in order to place the anxieties under the egoic control, what would conduct the individual to an active and transformative position of themselves. With this, theres the possibility to create and rewrite the own existence, believing in their self-ability to develop something that offers a meaning to life. The rap can act, this way, as an enabler of achievements in relation to maturing and the emotional health to the peripheral youth. As well as contributing to the strengthening of egoic aspects, to the socialization development, the dialogue with cultural elements, as well as the support of an authentic and creative life experience
