During the period between 1870 and 1910, the category of adolescence, increasingly defined the transitional stage between childhood and adulthood in the press, law, and in everyday practice. This emerging category included youths between the ages of fourteen and twenty-one as civil and penal codes recognized it as the transition from childhood to adulthood, a label that was picked up in the press, in scientific discourses, and in the courtrooms. Thus, this study addresses the following questions: What were the changes in the notion of childhood from the 1870s to the 1890s, and what did they signify to this period of economic, technological, social, and legal transformations? What were the ramifications of these cultural assumptions of childhood in civil and criminal law? What larger social forces did the rise of adolescence reflect? To what extent did the analysis of emotions in childhood and adolescence play a role in the cultural framework of positivism? This project chronicles the ascendance of the categories regarded culturally and legally as childhood and adolescence. It covers the period during the advent of the anti-colonial insurgency against Spain in Cuba and during the thirty-four–year period (1876-1910) when educators, criminologists, reporters, and parents took on these questions as age-based categories in civil and criminal law; and institutions organized around age became the norm in law and in everyday practice in Mexico. While scholarship has approached the history of childhood and youth from the prism of Mexico City, this project contends that the first war for Cuban independence (1868-1878) had cultural reverberations on the Yucatán peninsula as well as on mainland Mexico. Yucatán witnessed the arrival of educators whose experiences of war in Cuba and exile to Mexico inspired them to turn their attention to the cultivation of honor and trust in children because these emotions were considered fundamental to the proper training of young Mexican citizens. The emotional training of children viewed anger as a negative emotion while the pleasant and desirable emotions of trust and honor were particularly significant in the articulation of a uniquely Mexican emotional standard of child rearing. These ideas, which emerged in the context of Cuba’s anti-colonial insurgency in 1868 against Spain served in the Yucatán peninsula as the intellectual basis for the program of emotional education, which was central to the ideology of positivism. In the disciplines of criminology and pedagogy, the attitude toward children’s emotions degenerated to the generally negative, and the hereditary factors of working-class children informed perceptions of juvenile delinquency in the Mexican press. The press during the 1880s and 1890s generated fears about child criminality, emphasizing the emotions of envy and distrust attributed to working-class children. In the 1890s and the 1900s, newspaper chronicles of youth suicide in the press produced a cultural shift from a notion of suicide based on monomania, which affected middle-class and professional adolescents, to the concept of suicide as an expression of hereditary pathologies and moral weakness attributed to working-class youths. Violent Passions argues that the invention of adolescence as a dangerous stage of development was forged both by fear of juvenile crime and stereotypes in the press as well as by new courtship practices among adolescents. Although parents in Yucatán asserted a strong influence over their daughters’ prolonged courting phases or plazos, increasingly minors challenged parental authority by drawing on notions of autonomy, romantic love, and their own concept of innocent girlhood as well as by making accusations against fathers. The shift from supervised and prolonged courting phases to young couples’ demands for the recognition of emotional concerns in their relationships generated perceptions of juvenile delinquency in Porfirian Yucatán. Violent Passions contends that scholars should regard the emergence of the category of the adolescent as an ongoing cultural conversation concerning the role of emotions in the shaping of childhood and in the life stage of adolescence, which took hold in the early years of the Porfiriato. Although scholarship on youth in modern Mexico has focused on the formative identification of youth within the framework of institutions, namely, juvenile tribunals and universities, this project draws on the analytic construct of the life stage to trace the role of emotions from childhood to adolescence in Mexico. This dissertation considers the contingent demarcations in this period as well as the role of emotions in the meaning and process of attaining adolescence in modern Mexico.

In the western world the body wave is a significant trend, characterized by the great investments in body image. However, what is overlooked is the fact that in parallel trend grows the number of teenagers, especially females, with all kind of problems related to their body image. As adolescence is a moment of transformations, teenagers tend to be more aware of their body image and often neglect food ingestion and try to build their bodies following the images they have from top models and movie stars. The low self-esteem accompanying this sort of experience is an additional problem. Therefore the research aim to analyze discourses regarding the body image produced in world wide web diaries (blogs). The blogs selection was made through the site www.blogs.com.br, which is considered the widest guide of electronic diaries in Brazil. We looked after blogs including the keyword body and from adolescents aged 10 to 19, who showed concern about a slim body. Three blogs were chosen, considering the example criteria. Discourse analysis shows that these teenagers feel unsatisfied with their bodies, searching by all means the thinness presented as a aesthetic paradigm in western societies which often implies neglecting their own health, using appetite inhibitor drugs, restricting or totally abstaining food ingestion for long periods of time, or provoking themselves vomits after ingesting food. These behaviors, together with intense fear of gaining weight, can be characterized as alimentary disorders, related to the body image. As they usually hide this sort of behaviors from family and friends who do not share this concern, the blogs seem to be an easy tool for adolescents to find peers with whom to share common values and ideas and reaffirm their identities and virtual sense of community / As preocupa??es que dizem respeito a uma boa condi??o corporal est?o presentes no dia-a-dia, em document?rios sobre sa?de, nos meios de comunica??o, nas academias, nos sal?es de beleza e na medicina est?tica. No mundo ocidental, vivencia-se a onda do corpo , caracterizada pelos grandes investimentos em torno do aspecto corporal. O que nem sempre ? levado em considera??o ? que paralelamente a esse fen?meno, cresce o n?mero de adolescentes, majoritariamente do sexo feminino, com problemas relacionados ? imagem corporal. Como a fase da adolesc?ncia compreende uma s?rie de transforma??es, inclusive de auto-afirma??o e aceita??o dos outros, os adolescentes, muitas vezes negligenciam na alimenta??o e procuram construir seus corpos ? imagem de modelos e atrizes/atores. A baixa auto-estima entre eles ? um problema adicional relacionado com essa reifica??o do corpo idealizado. Apesar disso, ? uma tem?tica pouco estudada em nosso pa?s no campo da psicologia. O presente estudo objetivou analisar os discursos, relativos ao corpo, produzidos nos di?rios eletr?nicos (blogs) de adolescentes preocupadas com a magreza. A sele??o dos dados foi realizada atrav?s do site www.blogs.com.br, o qual ? considerado o maior guia de blogs do Brasil. Depois foram selecionados di?rios nos quais constavam a palavra-chave corpo. Em seguida, foram arrolados especificamente os constitu?dos por discursos de adolescentes do sexo feminino, na faixa et?ria entre 10-19 anos que expressassem preocupa??o em ter ou manter um corpo magro. Coletaram-se tr?s blogs levando-se em considera??o o crit?rio de exemplaridade, uma vez que a pesquisa de abordagem social qualitativa n?o se baseia no crit?rio num?rico para garantir sua representatividade. Elegeu-se como m?todo de an?lise de dados a perspectiva de An?lise de Discurso citada por Gill (2002). A an?lise dos discursos evidenciou que as adolescentes mostram-se insatisfeitas com seus corpos, buscando incessantemente a magreza apresentada como paradigma est?tico das sociedades ocidentais -, o que muitas vezes implica em negligenciar a pr?pria sa?de, seja usando inibidores de apetite, seja realizando dietas restritivas, seja provocando v?mitos ap?s a ingest?o de alimentos, ou seja praticando jejuns peri?dicos. Esses comportamentos, juntamente com o medo intenso de ganharem peso est?o vinculados a transtornos alimentares, intimamente relacionados ? quest?o do corpo, da imagem corporal. Tais comportamentos s?o ocultados de familiares, colegas e amigos que n?o os possuem, pois n?o s?o habitualmente aceitos. Diante disso, as adolescentes passam a procurar grupos com quem se identificam no mundo virtual da internet, podendo assim, compartilhar pontos de vista parecidos, de maneira que se sintam acolhidas e n?o tenham suas auto-estimas abaladas. Assim, os blogs parecem funcionar como instrumento facilitador para a reafirma??o de valores compartilhados entre as adolescentes, acerca do corpo e da sa?de. ? necess?rio que profissionais da sa?de estejam a par do que se passa nos meios de comunica??o, especialmente na internet, onde opini?es e concep??es s?o rapidamente divulgadas. Tendo em vista que tais informa??es tendem a contribuir para a constru??o de discursos e pr?ticas, particularmente dos adolescentes, levando esses profissionais, portanto, a estar mais pr?ximos do p?blico/cliente que poder?o vir a atender

Resumo: O uso abusivo de álcool por adolescentes é uma questão que vem preocupando os envolvidos com a Educação, pois as conseqüências desse fato têm invadido os bancos escolares trazendo sérios prejuízos ao processo ensino-aprendizagem e ao adolescente que abusa. Com o objetivo de contribuir para o debate na busca de uma intervenção efetiva que possa ser utilizada, sobretudo nas escolas, desenvolvemos uma pesquisa onde procuramos detectar a possível relação entre uso abusivo de álcool e raciocínio moral. Para tanto, tivemos como participantes alunos do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública da cidade de Assis (SP) que vêm se envolvendo com uso abusivo de álcool. Para atingir os objetivos propostos, selecionamos os participantes através da aplicação de dois instrumentos que avaliam o uso e as conseqüências do uso abusivo de álcool, denominados Audit e Rapi. Dos 171 alunos que responderam aos questionários, 27 deles tiveram resultados que revelam uso abusivo de álcool com conseqüências negativas. Esses adolescentes foram entrevistados tendo como referencial a teoria de Lawrence Kohlberg (1992) onde buscamos identificar seu nível e estágio de desenvolvimento moral (analisando sua teoria ética, seus valores, etc) por meio de uma entrevista semi-estruturada proposta por Kohlberg e colaboradores: a moral judgment interview (MJI) e a concepção que esses têm do seu ato de beber e do uso abusivo de álcool. Os resultados obtidos nos apontam que esses adolescentes apresentam um nível de raciocínio moral pré-convencional e convencional, sendo que a maioria (56%) encontra-se no estágio 02 do nível pré-convencional. Dessa forma, concluímos que a prevenção possa ser pensada por meio da Educação Moral como uma proposta de intervenção efetiva contra o uso abusivo de álcool, buscando a construção da autonomia e, conseqüentemente, uma maior reflexão acerca do envolvimento com as drogas. / Abstract: The abuse of alcohol by teenagers is an issue which has caused the worry of those involved in education, since its consequences have affected schools and caused serious damage to the teaching-learning process and consequently to those teenagers who abuse it. In order to contribute to the discussion of such an issue and to try to find out an effective intervention which may be used mainly in schools, we have developed a research in which we tried to establish a relation between the abuse of alcohol and moral judgment. Therefore, our subjects were junior/senior high school students attending a public school in Assis (SP) who have got into such a trouble. In order to achieve the aims of our research we have chosen the subjects by applying two indices called Audit and Rapi, which evaluate the use and the consequences of alcohol abuse. 171 students have completed the questionnaires, and 27 of them presented results confirming the abuse of alcohol with serious consequences. Such teenagers were interviewed seeing that the Lawrence Kohlberg's theory (1992) was used to identify their level and phase of moral development (analyzing their ethical theory, values, etc), by using semi-structured interview proposed by Kohlberg and his collaborators: the Moral Judgment Interview (MJI) and the conception they have about drinking. The results obtained in the research reveal that such teenagers present a pre-conventional and conventional level of moral judgment, seeing that most of them (56%) have reached the 02 phase of the pre-conventional level. Thus we come to the conclusion that prevention should be implemented by means of Social Awareness viewed as an effective intervention proposal against the abuse of alcohol, aiming at developing autonomy and, consequently, at encouraging them to ponder over their involvement with drugs. / Orientador: Raul Aragão Martins / Coorientador: Maria Suzana S.

Segundo o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA), a adolescência é situada entre 12 e 18 anos. O Brasil sendo um país onde existe grande desigualdade social, os jovens de classe baixa procuram o mercado de trabalho precocemente, para obter uma renda familiar maior e ajudar em casa. Considerando o defasado ensino brasileiro atual, e a falta de estruturas necessárias para a contratação de um fonoaudiólogo, tem-se como conseqüência o desenvolvimento de adolescentes com dificuldades de comunicação escrita não detectadas precocemente, assim, quando os jovens se deparam com o mercado de trabalho, em busca do seu primeiro emprego, encontram dificuldades relacionadas à sua comunicação. Este trabalho teve como objetivo geral, implantar uma Oficina de Aprimoramento da Comunicação Escrita, em adolescentes freqüentadores do Curso Primeiro Emprego oferecido pela Diocese de Bauru Divino Espírito Santo (Casa do Garoto Rogacionista) na cidade de Bauru-SP no ano letivo de 2008, devido a estes jovens apresentarem uma escrita defasada, que pode interferir direta ou indiretamente na seleção de uma vaga de emprego. As Oficinas foram realizadas no período de 8 semanas, e após a realização destas, podê-se encontrar dados estatisticamente significantes quando falamos em elaboração de texto. Após este trabalho também foi observado melhora quanto a coesão, uso de pontuação, bem como, sintaxe, e também a opinião positiva dos adolescentes em relação ao oferecimento das oficinas realizadas. / According to the Statute of the Child and Adolescent (ECA), adolescence is located between 12 and 18 years. Brazil is a country where there is great social inequality, low-class young people looking for the labor market early, to get a higher family income and help at home. Considering the current Brazilian low education, and lack of necessary structures for the hiring of a speech pathologist, as a consequence has been development of adolescents with difficulties in written communication not detected earler, so, when young people are faced with the labor market, in search of their first jobs, have difficulty relating to their communication. This study aimed to rule, establish an Office of Improving Communication Writing in adolescents attend Course \"First Job\" offered by the Diocese of Allahabad Holy Ghost (House of Boy Rogacionista) in the city of Bauru, Sao Paulo in the 2008 school year Because these young people to submit a written low, which may interfere directly or indirectly in the selection of a wave of employment. The workshops were held during the period of 8 weeks, and after the completion of these, one can find data statistically significant when we talk about drafting a text. After this work was also observed improvement in cohesion, use of punctuation, and syntax, and also the positive view of adolescents in relation to the offering of workshops.

Adolescent Alcohol Use (AAU) is widespread and potentially harmful to the health of youth. Substantial research and theoretical development suggest that both violence exposure and internalizing and externalizing problems of adolescents are associated with AAU. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the roles of internalizing and externalizing problems in adolescents to determine if the two types of symptoms are differential mediators of the link between violence exposure and AAU for females and males. Using Developmental Systems Theory as a framework, three primary hypotheses were examined: 1) Increased violence exposure at home and in the community are associated with increased AAU in both females and in males; 2) Internalizing problems mediate the relationship between home/community violence exposure and AAU for females; and 3) Externalizing problems mediate the relationship between home/community violence exposure and AAU for males. The secondary dataset that was utilized to test the hypotheses is a product of the 1995 National Survey of Adolescents in the United States. It includes a national probability sample of 3,161 adolescents and a probability oversample of 862 adolescents residing in urban areas for a total of 4,023 adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17. The data were collected by telephone interviews with the adolescents. The findings indicated that, for the most part, witnessing and experiencing physical and sexual violence across home and community contexts were associated with increased levels of AAU for both females and males. Internalizing problems mediated the relationship between sexual abuse and AAU for both females and males. Externalizing problems did not mediate the relationship between violence exposure and AAU for males or females. The findings suggest that internalizing and externalizing problems may play similar roles in females and males. The findings also indicated that home violence exposure accounts for unique variance in AAU beyond community violence exposure, but that community and home violence exposure do not interact to contribute to the highest level of AAU. Both number of different types of sexual victimization and number of different types of physical victimization at home were related to AAU. Implications for social work are discussed. The primary implication for Development Systems Theory is that differential pathways for females and males from environmental stress, in particular violence exposure, to increases in AAU may not be needed. Social work programs aimed at preventing and intervening in AAU should include components that address not only the use itself, but also the level of violence the adolescent has been exposed to, as well as any internalizing problems the adolescent may be experiencing. Future research should continue to examine how risk factors operate to influence AAU.

The purpose of this study was to describe written narratives of language disordered adolescents by comparing their written narratives via story grammar analysis with those of normal adolescents. The written narratives were obtained by administering two tasks as required assignments within the English or communications classes of the two groups. Task A was to write about a personal experience and Task B was about an imaginary experience. This study used Merritt and Liles' adaptations (1987) of Stein and Glenn's procedures (1979) for story grammar analysis to describe the content of the narratives.

Classroom teachers frequently refer adolescents to speech language pathologists for language skills evaluations. Many of the traditional evaluation tools of the speech-language pathologist focus on the student's oral language skills. The first indication to the classroom teacher that there may be a language problem, however, is usually from the student's written classwork. Very few written language assessment tools are available which give speech language pathologists information regarding linguistic units which can be viewed as communication acts. This paper focuses on one particular discourse unit - the written narrative. Narratives are a natural form of thought and demonstrate how a person organizes and views the world around them. Narratives can be analyzed from the perspective of their "texts," how the writer links individual sentences together to create a cohesive discourse. The purpose of this study was to compare the written narratives of language impaired and normal adolescents. Two questions were addressed in this study. First, are there differences in texts between language impaired and normal adolescents? And second, do the written narratives of a personal experience and imaginary event produce different texts in language impaired and normal adolescents?
