Orientador: Juliana Campregher Pasqualini / Resumo: A presente pesquisa promove o encontro de dois grandes autores, Heleieth Saffioti e Daniil Elkonin, uma socióloga brasileira e um psicólogo soviético, tecendo diálogos em torno da necessidade da incorporação da crítica feminista marxista pela psicologia histórico-cultural. Tal teoria psicológica desde sua origem se constituiu como uma ciência marxista – porque não desconsiderou as contradições das classes sociais e a exploração de uma sobre a outra no regime capitalista. Além disso, se propôs a análise materialista histórico e dialética dos indivíduos a fim de atingir o complexo fenômeno do desenvolvimento psicológico a partir da concreticidade da vida em sociedade. O mote desse estudo foi a perspectiva de que essa ciência explicitamente herdeira da tradição marxista possa também reivindicar-se – e constituir-se como – ciência feminista, abrangendo, em suas análises e formulações, a organização de gênero (e de raça) na sociedade patriarcal-capitalista, que descreve uma relação social concreta de dominaçãoexploração entre homens e mulheres. O objetivo geral que guiou a investigação foi explorar possibilidades de aproximação entre a psicologia histórico-cultural do desenvolvimento e o feminismo marxista de Heleieth Saffioti, focalizando a teorização de Daniil Elkonin sobre a idade pré-escolar. Para tanto, foram delineados como objetivos específicos: i) identificar implicações do feminismo marxista para o estudo do desenvolvimento infantil na idade préescolar; ii) identificar co...

Such a psychological theory since its origin was constituted as a Marxist science – because it did not disregard the contradictions of the social classes and the exploitation of one over the other in the capitalist regime. In addition, a historical and dialectical materialistic analysis of individuals was proposed in order to achieve the complex phenomenon of psychological development based on the concreteness of life in society. The motto of this study was the perspective that this science explicitly heir to the Marxist tradition can also claim – and constitute itself – feminist science, encompassing, in its analyzes and formulations, the organization of gender (and race) in society patriarchal-capitalist, which describes a concrete social relationship of domination-exploitation between men and women. The general objective that guided the investigation was to explore possibilities of approximation between the historical-cultural developmental psychology and the Marxist feminism of Heleieth Saffioti, focusing on Daniil Elkonin's theorization about preschool age. Therefore, the following objectives were outlined: i) to identify implications of Marxist feminism for the study of child development in pre-school age; ii) to id...

Les troubles anxieux sont les troubles psychologiques les plus prévalents chez les enfants et les adolescents. Les symptômes apparaissent rapidement dans le développement de l’enfant et persistent souvent jusqu’à l’âge adulte. Plusieurs recherches ont été réalisées sur les prédicteurs de l’anxiété. Certaines font ressortir une association entre l’attachement insécurisant et l’anxiété, particulièrement les attachements ambivalent et désorganisé. Depuis quelques années, un nouveau concept est utilisé pour évaluer la relation parent-enfant, la relation d’activation. Cette dernière est complémentaire à la relation d’attachement, car elle considère les dimensions de la discipline et de la stimulation à la prise de risque, alors que l’attachement est basé sur la dimension du réconfort. Plusieurs recherches ont aussi trouvé des associations entre l’anxiété et l’activation. De ce fait, le premier objectif de cette recherche est de déterminer quelle association est plus forte avec l’anxiété entre la relation d’attachement ou la relation d’activation. Le deuxième objectif est de vérifier si le sexe du parent est un modérateur de l’association entre l’anxiété et les deux relations. L'échantillon est composé de 38 parents et de leurs enfants, âgés de 3 à 5 ans. Les instruments de mesure utilisés sont l’échelle d’anxiété/dépression du questionnaire CBCL pour les scores d’anxiété, la situation étrangère pour l’attachement et la situation risquée pour la relation d'activation. Les résultats montrent que la relation d’activation est associée à l’anxiété, alors que ce n’est pas le cas pour la relation d’attachement. De plus, le sexe du parent n’est pas un modérateur des associations entre l’anxiété et les relations. / Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent disorders in children and adolescents. The symptoms appear quickly in the child's development and often persist into adulthood. Many researches have been conducted on the predictors of anxiety. Several studies show that there is an association between insecure attachment and anxiety, particularly ambivalent and disorganized attachment. In recent years, a new concept has been used to evaluate the parent-child relationship, the activation relationship. This new measure is complementary to the attachment relationship because it considers the dimensions of discipline and stimulation to risk taking, while attachment is based on the dimension of comfort. Several studies have also found associations between anxiety and activation. As a result, the primary goal of this research is to determine which association is stronger with anxiety: attachment or activation. The second objective is to understand if the parent's sex is a moderator of the association between anxiety and the two relationships. The sample is composed of 38 parents and their children, aged 3 to 5 years. The measuring instruments used are the anxiety/depression scale of the CBCL questionnaire for the anxiety scores, the strange situation for attachment and for the activation relationship, the risky situation. The results show that the activation relationship is associated with anxiety, whereas this is not the case for the attachment relationship. In addition, the parent's gender is not a moderator of the associations between anxiety and attachment or activation relationships.
