Past research on the impacts of acculturation gaps among immigrant family members has yielded inconclusive results potentially due to inconsistent analytical methods, lack of consideration of family processes, and discrepant conceptualizations of acculturation. With a sample of 161 Chinese Canadian immigrant families, the current study adopted a person-centred approach with a family lens to examine the nature of acculturation gaps and how these gaps were associated with family functioning and individual psychological adjustment. Latent profile analyses were utilized to generate mother-father-child acculturation profiles based on individual reports of acculturation (in the domains of cultural identity and value, separately) from mothers, fathers, and children in the same family. The results identified five family acculturation profiles in the identity domain and four family acculturation profiles in the value domain. Parents’ cultural disengagement was linked to the most positive psychological wellbeing and family relationships for all family members. The expected acculturation gaps in the Canadian host dimension were not found to be associated with the most depressive symptoms or family conflicts, suggesting that acculturation gaps where adolescents were more acculturated to the host culture than their parents may be normative in immigrant families and thus not linked to youth maladjustment. In contrast, the reversed acculturation gaps in the host dimension and the expected acculturation gaps in the heritage dimension were consistently found to be associated with family conflicts and individual psychological distress. The results also revealed an undifferentiated acculturation style that was not outlined in Berry’s model. An undifferentiated style was characterized by average acculturation levels on both the heritage and host dimensions, and it was the most prevalent individual acculturation style in the identity domain and the second most prevalent style in the value domain. Directions for future research and the benefits of using a person-centered approach in the research of acculturation gaps are discussed. / Graduate / 2023-09-06

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva distriktssköterskors upplevelser och erfarenheter av patientundervisning till patienter med diabetes samt att identifiera aspekter som kan relateras till ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt. Metod: Deskriptiv design med kvalitativ ansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer användes vid datainsamlingen. Vid urvalet användes strategiskt urval. Nio intervjuer utfördes med distriktssköterskor på sex olika vårdcentraler i Mellansverige. Vid analysen användes kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Distriktssköterskorna önskade mer kunskap om invandrares kost- och motionsvanor. Distriktssköterskorna uttryckte att det var roligt och spännande med patientundervisning och att det var viktigt att de var engagerade. Distriktssköterskorna ville arbeta mer i team och de upplevde att de hade för lite tid avsatt för patientundervisning. De ansåg att de arbetade personcentrerat men det var svårare att arbeta personcentrerat vid gruppundervisning än vid enskild undervisning. Slutsats: Distriktssköterskor bör ha god kunskap om kulturella skillnader hos patienter med diabetes. Distriktssköterskorna upplever brist på tid- och resurser och önskar samarbeta mera i team. Det är viktigt med ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt där distriktssköterskorna utgår från den enskilda individen. En distriktssköterska som är engagerad och trivs med sitt arbete kan lättare klara av det ökade trycket och arbetsbelastningen. / Aim: The aim of the study was to describe district nurses´ perceptions and experiences of patient education for patients with diabetes and to identify aspects that can be related to a person-centered approach. Methods: Descriptive design with qualitative approach with semi structured interviews were used for data collection. In the selection process was strategically selection used. Nine interviews were conducted with district nurses at six different medical centers in central Sweden. In the analysis used qualitative content analysis. Results: District nurses wanted more knowledge about immigrants' eating and exercise habits. District nurses expressed that it was fun and exciting with patient education and that it was important that they were engaged. District nurses wanted to work more in teams and they felt they had too little time set aside for patient education. They felt that they were working person-centered but it was more difficult to work person centered at group education than private education. Conclusion: District nurses should have good knowledge of cultural differences in patients with diabetes. District nurses perceive lack of time and resources and want more cooperate in teams. It is important with a person-centered approach, where district nurses based on the individual person. A district nurse who is engaged and enjoy their work can help dealing with the increased pressure and workload.

Due to its unsupervised nature, undergraduate education requires students to manage their own learning. They need to use self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies in order to achieve academic success. However, college students often have insufficient regulatory skills and strategies, suggesting the need for substantive and practical support. Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a well-recognized academic intervention that utilizes peer-led study groups for difficult college courses, through which students can develop their SRL abilities. This study focuses on the role of the SI program in college students’ development of SRL from a person-centered perspective. First, this study examines the heterogeneous effects of the SI intervention on students’ development of SRL by combining latent profile modeling and propensity score matching. Second, it explores the changes in student SRL profiles over the intervention period and determines factors affecting the prediction of such changes using latent transition modeling. Results identify three distinct student profiles: competent regulator, self-confident regulator, and goal-oriented regulator. Within the competent regulator profile, both SI and non-SI attendees’ overall SRL scores significantly decreased over time, though non- SI attendees showed a greater downturn. For the self-confident regulator profile, only SI attendees’ overall SRL scores increased. Both SI and non-SI attendees in the goal-oriented regulator profile had small decreases in scores, which were not statistically significant. Regarding students’ longitudinal transitions between SRL profiles, students in the most desirable profile (competent regulator) remained most stable over time. Students’ SRL in the goal-oriented regulator profile was most malleable in a positive way; approximately 40% of these students moved into the competent regulator profile. In addition, students whose decision to attend the SI sessions was more mastery-oriented tended to fall into more positive transition groups. Furthermore, students whose levels of self-confidence in learning, critical thinking skills, and group work skills increased as a result of their participation in SI sessions were more likely to become members of more positive transition groups. The findings of this study extend previous work by longitudinally examining individual differences in college students’ SRL development. They also provide significant implications for the future design of more targeted interventions.

It intends to contribute to a discussion of ethics in clinical practice, with reference to the radical ethics of Emmanuel Levinas and the Person-Centered Psychotherapy. The overall goal is to understand the possibilities of opening to radical alterity in the therapeutic relationship from discourses of person-centered psychotherapists about their clinical practice. Thus, we performed semi-structured interviews with five psychotherapists about the unexpected experiences in their clinical practice. The interpretation of the discourses was inspired in Derrida's hermeneutics, focusing on how the idea of deconstruction was proposed, allowing the arising of the difference in speech itself. In the deconstruction of the discourses we get closer to potential areas of openness to otherness in the therapeutic relationship, talking about the therapist vulnerability and responsibility against the unexpected. In a welcoming position the therapist would have to allow the use of his sensitivity and the intuition in their attendance, being with the client in its suffering, from the facilitative attitudes as enablers of a understanding of the client as an enigma. / Este estudo se constitui numa pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, de caráter descritivo e exploratório. Intenta contribuir para uma discussão ética no campo da prática clínica, tendo como referências a ética radical de Emannuel Lévinas e a Psicoterapia Centrada na Pessoa. O objetivo geral é compreender as possibilidades de abertura à alteridade radical na relação terapêutica a partir de discursos de psicoterapeutas centrados na pessoa sobre sua prática clínica. Para tanto, realizamos entrevistas semiestruturadas com cinco psicoterapeutas acerca de experiências com o inusitado em sua prática clínica. A interpretação dos discursos teve inspiração na hermenêutica derridiana, focalizando como proposta a ideia de desconstrução, por permitir a emergência da diferença advinda do próprio discurso. Na desconstrução dos discursos, pudemos nos aproximar de possíveis espaços de abertura à alteridade na relação terapêutica, discorrendo sobre a vulnerabilidade e responsabilidade do terapeuta frente ao inusitado. Numa postura de acolhimento, o terapeuta deveria permitir-se a utilização da sensibilidade e da intuição nos atendimentos, estando com o cliente em seu sofrimento a partir das atitudes facilitadoras como possibilitadoras de uma compreensão do cliente como enigma.

A presente dissertação tem por objeto elaborar um relato histórico da emergência da Abordagem Centrada na Pessoa (ACP) no Brasil, com especial observância ao eixo Rio-São Paulo nas décadas de 1950, 1960 e 1970. A ACP faz parte da chamada Psicologia Humanista, um movimento inicialmente organizado pelo psicólogo norte-americano Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) na década de 1950, que contou com a forte participação de Carl Rogers (1902-1987), também psicólogo norte-americano, e fundador da atualmente denominada Abordagem Centrada na Pessoa. A trajetória profissional de Rogers foi marcada pelos acontecimentos de sua época, como a crise econômica americana da década de 1930, a Segunda Guerra Mundial, a Guerra Fria e os conflitos globais por questões étnicas, religiosas e raciais. Para uma melhor compreensão do desenvolvimento da ACP, este foi narrado em conjunto com a história dos principais acontecimentos políticos, econômicos e culturais dos EUA, buscando construir uma narrativa situada historicamente. O mesmo foi feito em relação à história da ACP no Brasil, nas décadas de 1950 a 1970, ressaltando-se o objetivo dos governantes nacionais de transformar o Brasil em uma grande nação em termos culturais e educacionais, para isso se valendo da criação de diversas instituições voltadas às crianças, adolescentes e jovens adultos, para seu atendimento psicológico, educacional, orientação profissional e aprimoramento técnico. A instauração da ditadura civil-militar iniciada em 1964, o processo de regulamentação da profissão de psicólogo e a criação dos primeiros cursos de psicologia no Brasil são destaque. Registrar a história da ACP no Brasil é uma tarefa que se justifica dado o contingente de profissionais que atuam neste referencial teórico e para incentivar a pesquisa em história da psicologia. A metodologia de trabalho adotada foi a revisão bibliográfica e o relato oral instrumentalizado por entrevistas com profissionais de destacada relevância na história da ACP no Rio de Janeiro e em São Paulo. Este estudo tem como marco final a vinda de Carl Rogers e sua equipe em 1977 ao Brasil para a realização do I Encontro Brasileiro Centrado na Pessoa (Arcozelo I), o que possibilitou a reunião, o reconhecimento mútuo e a troca de experiências entre os profissionais brasileiros, fechando desta forma o período da emergência da ACP no Brasil e favoreceu uma nova fase de desenvolvimento por todo o país. / This dissertation is to develop a historical object of emergence of Person Centred Approach (PCA) in Brazil, with special observance to the Rio-São Paulo in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970. The ACP is part of the so-called humanistic psychology, a movement initially organized by the american psychologist Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) in the 1950s, which saw the participation of strong Carl Rogers (1902-1987), also American psychologist and founder of the currently named the Person Centred Approach. The professional trajectory of Rogers was marked by the events of his time, as the american economic crisis of the 1930s, Worldwide War, the Cold War and by ethnic, religious and racial global conflicts. For a better understanding the development of ACP, this was narrated in conjunction with the main political, economic and cultural history of U.S., seeking construct a narrative historically situated. The same was done to the history of ACP in Brazil, in the decades from 1950 to 1970, emphasizing the political rulers goal of transforming Brazil into a great nation in cultural and educational for it is worth creating several institutions devoted to children, adolescents and young adults for their psychological care, educational, vocational guidance and technician improvement. The establishment of civil-military dictatorship that began in 1964, the process of regulating the profession of psychologist and the creation of first courses in psychology in Brazil are highlighted. Register the history of ACP in Brazil is a task that is justified given the contingent of professionals theoretical engaged and to encourage research into the history of psychology. The methodology of work adopted was the oral report and literature review instrumentalized by interviews with prominent professionals relevance in the history of ACP in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. This study is the final milestone coming of Carl Rogers and his team in 1977 to Brazil for the realization of the First Brazilian Meeting Focused on Person (Arcozelo I), which allowed the meeting, recognition and mutual exchange of experience among Brazilian professionals,thus closing the period of the emergency and the ACP in Brazil favoring a new phase of development across the country.

Bakgrund: Ett omhändertagande på en akutmottagning karaktäriseras oftast av höga krav på en snabb och effektiv behandling där mötet mellan personal och patienter är kort. Att se bortom patientens sjukdom och belysa patientens individuella behov, resurser och förväntningar är vad som kännetecknar ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa sjuksköterskans personcentrerade förhållningssätt av vuxna patienter inom omhändertagandet på en akutmottagning. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en allmän litteraturstudie, vilken baserades på nio resultatartiklar som har bearbetats med hjälp av innehållsanalys. Resultat: Både patienter och sjuksköterskor upplevde brister relaterat till det personcentrerade omhändertagandet på akutmottagningen. Resultatet delades in i två huvudkategorier; Patientens perspektiv av ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt och Sjuksköterskans perspektiv av ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt. Konklusion: Patienterna upplevde att informationen och kommunikationen var en väsentlig del i omvårdnaden. När kommunikationen var närvarande och patienterna välinformerade ökade delaktigheten hos patienterna. Sjuksköterskan upplevde att tidsbristen var en stor faktor till en bristande kommunikation och information på akutmottagningen. / Background: Care in the emergency department is usually characterized by high demands for a fast and efficient treatment, where the meeting between nurse and patient is short. Looking beyond the patient´s illness and highlighting the patient's individual needs, resources and expectations is what characterizes a person- centered approach. Purpose: To highlight nurses' person-centered approach in care of adult patients in the emergency department. Method: The study was conducted as a general literature study based on nine result articles. Content analyses were used as an analyzing method. Results: Both patients and nurses experienced shortcomings related to person-centered care in an emergency department. The results were divided into two main categories: Patient’s perspective of a person-centered approach and Nurse’s perspective of a person-centered approach. Conclusion: Patients felt that the information and communication was a very important part in nursing care. When communication was present and patients well informed, the patient´s participation increased. The nurses experienced of lack of time was a major factor to the lack of communication in the emergency department.

The presented diploma thesis focuses on the person-centered approach in personality research and on the possibilities of predicting behavior in the online environment. The theoretical part defines different approaches to personality descriptions, with a special focus on the person-centered approach, variable-centered approach, and person-specific approach. The outputs of thematically relevant research studies are also summarized here. The empirical part describes the exploratory research, which aimed to examine the possibility of predicting the personality type of LinkedIn users in the context of the person-centered approach, based on an analysis of their profile and behavior associated with this professional social network. The standardized HEXACO-PI-R and 4Elements Personality Inventory® questionnaires were used in the research. Cluster analysis was performed on data from 118 participants who filled out the 4Elements Personality Inventory®. Based on that, 4 clusters that describes 52,2 % of the variance were formed. Furthermore, using multinomial logistic regression, two models predicting the probability of a person belonging to a certain cluster based on information about predictors were created. Another cluster analysis was performed on the data from HEXACO-PI-R, which created 6 clusters that...

Recentemente è cresciuto l'interesse tra i ricercatori di psicologia applicata nel misurare l'associazione tra identità sociali multiple e adattamento psicologico. Attingendo dal Social Identity Approach, dall'Intersectionality Theory e dalle teorie sull'integrazione identitaria, in questa raccolta di studi viene analizzata la relazione tra identità multiple e adattamento psicologico adottando diversi metodi. / Recently, there has been increased interest among applied psychological researchers in measuring the associations between intersecting social identities and individual psychological adjustment. Drawing upon social identity approach, intersectionality, identity integration theories and research, in this collection of studies we analyze the relationship between multiple identities and psychological outcomes adopting different methods.
