This thesis contends that the subjective meanings and value attached to money may, in part, be a function of identity-related norms and values. This proposed relationship between identity issues and monetary attitudes/behaviour is explored across a series of methodologically diverse studies. It is argued that psychological approaches to money, despite their efforts to the contrary, frequently concur with traditional economic models of human behaviour in so far as they rest on similarly static, de-contextualised notions of the self. The research described here aims to substitute these implicit assumptions about the nature of selfhood with a social psychological account of the 'self and thus with an explicit focus on subjective identification processes, ha doing so, the present approach draws on the Social Identity tradition. First, findings from an exploratory interview study illustrate a) that identity concerns are central for people's understandings of money, b) that the relationship between money and selfhood is dilemmatic, and c) that money meanings and usage relate to identity across different levels of abstractions (i.e. personal, social, human). Second, a series of experimental studies (based on predictions derived from the Social Identity model of the self) shows that attitudes towards money can vary as a function of both social identity salience and the comparative context in which a given identity is salient. The association between social identification, specific identity contents and monetary attitudes is also addressed. Finally, an exploration of the relationship between identity concerns and decision-making processes within a Prisoner's Dilemma-type setting indicates that identity and the social knowledge derived from it play a crucial role, not only with regard to how people attempt to meet their goals in this context but also in terms of how these goals are defined. The broader implication of these findings with regard to 'rational choice' models of human agency are discussed.

Text in Afrikaans / Die studie handel oor die persoonlikheidsamestelling van die beskeie leerling in die senior sekondere skoolfase. Twee sienings van beskeidenheid blyk uit die literatuur, naamlik beskeidenheid as 'n deug en beskeidenheid as manifestasie van innerlike onsekerheid. Daar is in diepte gekyk na beskeidenheid as persoonlikheidseienskap en die invloed van beskeidenheid op die relasievorming en selfaktualisering van die kind. Beskeidenheid gaan gepaard met persoonlikheidseienskappe soos terughoudendheid, beskroomdheid, geinhibeerdheid, ontoereikende assertiwiteit en vry van aanmatiging en dit behels 'n onvermoe tot selfbevordering. Verder manifesteer sake soos sosiale angstigheid, openbare selfbewustheid, vrees vir sukses en swak selfevaluering ook in beskeidenheid. Die leerling se relasievorming en selfaktualisering word deur beskeidenheid gekortwiek. Die Hoerskool Persoonlikheidsvraelys is in 'n empiriese ondersoek op 'n aantal standerd 9-leerlinge afgeneem. Geen tipiese perrsoonlikheidsprofiel kon vir beskeidenheid saamgestel word nie. 'n Aantal persoonlikheidseienskappe wat met beskeidenheid verband kan hou, het egter in die ondersoek na vore gekom. / This study concerns the personality composition of the modest pupil in the senior secondary school. Two views of modesty are discussed in the literature, namely that it is a virtue and that it is a sign of inner uncertainty. An in-depth study is made of modesty as a personality characteristic and its influence on the pupil's relationship formation and self-actualisation. Modesty is associated with such personality characteristics as reserve, timidity, inhibition, unassertiveness and lack of arrogance. It implies an inability to promote oneself. Modesty is also a manifestation of social anxiety, self-conciousness, a fear of success and low self-evaluation. It handicaps the relationship formation and self-actualisation of pupils. The High School Personality Questionnaire was administered to a group of Standard 9 pupils in an empirical study. No typical personality profile could be compiled for modest pupils. Several personality 'characteristics emerged from the study which may be associated with modesty. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (met spesialisering in Voorligting)

Esta pesquisa consiste na investigação do processo de reconstrução da identidade enunciativa do sujeito afásico no âmbito clínico público. Para isso, analisaram-se as teorias linguísticas de Saussure (2002, 2012), Benveniste (2005, 2006) e Jakobson (2003), dado que contribuem significativamente com o tratamento reabilitatório de distúrbios de linguagem, como a afasia. Averiguaram-se, também, no que concerne ao transtorno afasiológico, sua etiologia, seus tipos, o grau de severidade, os testes-padrão e os procedimentos adotados pelo Sistema único de Saúde, para proceder ao encaminhamento do paciente à avaliação e à reabilitação fonoaudiológica. Por fim, analisaram-se as sessões de terapia fonoaudiológica de um sujeito afásico, desenvolvidas no âmbito clínico público, com base nos estudos linguísticos e afasiológicos anteriormente citados. Concluiu-se que, devido ao grau de severidade, aos procedimentos adotados pelo Sistema Único de Saúde, e a outros fatores, o indivíduo cérebro-lesado, dificilmente, reconstruirá a sua identidade enunciativa nesse campo interventivo (sic). / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2017-11-21T19:20:39Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Larissa Rizzon da Silva.pdf: 1952125 bytes, checksum: cd8b5d2c75a7e3139a6a79ed06b53c4c (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2017-11-21T19:20:39Z (GMT).

Thesis (DEd (Education))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017. / Many youth experience some form of identity crisis as they transition into adulthood. This crisis is amplified in the lives of many working-class youth who have to contend with heading households owing to the absence or death of parents and a socioeconomic context of poverty, lack of access to quality learning opportunities, unemployment and deepening inequality. A recent analysis of youth unemployment statistics in South Africa shows that at the end of 2016, at least 7.5 million youth were not in employment, education or training (NEET), with a large percentage residing in the Western Cape. The growing NEET numbers present a huge problem to youth, communities and the state, as youth who are not in employment, education or training have a greater propensity to become disengaged and disconnected from self, family and social, economic, political and cultural activities, further minimising their opportunities for growth and development. Despite the growing NEET numbers, there remains a paucity of research on credible and sustainable solutions to the NEET crises, including research that gives credence to youth voice and experience. The key purpose of the study was to explore youth experiences of a holistic approach to personal transformation as one particular programmatic approach or developmental pathway for vulnerable youth. The imperative is to explore ways of addressing the current NEET crisis and simultaneously deepen the theory and practice of youth development. The study used an ecological perspective as its theoretical framework that illuminated the influence of relationships and contexts on the development of children and youth. A phenomenological approach was chosen as it was deemed best suited to exploring and understanding people’s perceptions and experiences of a particular phenomenon. Narrative inquiry was employed as the methodological framework to explore the views of five youth respondents and their parents or guardians. Techniques to enhance the credibility and trustworthiness of the data included triangulation, which was effected through the collection of two sets of data, an extensive literature review and use of a reflective journal. The findings illustrate that a holistic perspective, as one particular philosophical and programmatic approach to personal transformation, has the potential to foster connection with self and family, enhance the psychological capital of young people and provide the impetus for them to remain on a positive developmental trajectory. The significance of a holistic approach lies in its ability to recognise and integrate all dimensions of their being into the learning process and meet a variety of needs as a result of their particular socioeconomic and psychosocial realities.

Os trânsitos de bens advindos do universo religioso de matrizes africanas têm transpassado barreiras e transmutado os limites entre o que é profano e sagrado. A Moda, entendida como linguagem, repleta de signos, significados, ícones e índices passa a ser uma via importante para tais trânsitos. Esta dissertação, por meio das análises de material de campo de três capitais brasileiras, Salvador, Rio de Janeiro e Porto Alegre, visa interpretar estes trânsitos e suas ressignificações para os elementos do Candomblé que se transformam em códigos vestimentários e assim ultrapassam as fronteiras do que é profano e do que é sagrado. Para tanto, nos apoiaremos nas teorias de Peirce (2015) e Leach (1978), no que tange à análise semiótica e antropológica. Para observar a “dessacralização” dos objetos oriundos do Candomblé, este processo foi contextualizado nos termos da pós-modernidade de Jameson (1996) e Harvey (1992). As ideias de fluxos e pós-colonialismo através de Mbembe (2014) e Bhabha (1998) também foram averiguadas, assim como os conceitos de indivíduo de Hall (2005), foram debatidos, chegando a um novo conceito de singularidades proposto por Albuquerque (2007). Por fim, as teorias de Certeau (1994) e as elaborações sobre metamorfoses de espaço de Pintaudi (2011) foram utilizadas para a observação dos Mercados Públicos, espaços fundamentais de troca e ressignificação. / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, CAPES / The transits of goods coming from the religious universe of African origins have pierced barriers and transmuted the boundaries between what is profane and sacred. Fashion, understood as language, full of signs, meanings, icon and elements become an important route for such transits. This dissertation, throughout the analysis of field work in three Brazilian city capitals – Salvador. Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre – aims to interpret their transits and their redeterminations for the elements of Candomblé that turn into dress codes and thus cross the borders of what is profane and of what is sacred. Therefore, the theories of Peirce (2015) and Leach (1978) are used to refer to the semiotic and anthropological analysis. In order to observe the "desacralization" of the Candomblé objects, this process is contextualized in terms of the postmodernity of Jameson (1996) and Harvey (1992). The ideas of flows and post-colonialism in Mbembe (2014) and Bhabha (1998) were also investigated as well as the individual concepts of Hall (2005), arriving at a new concept of singularities proposed by Albuquerque (2007). Finally, the theories of Certeau (1994) and the elaborations on metamorphoses of space by Pintaudi (2011) were used for a vision of the Public Markets, fundamental spaces of exchange and resignification.
