CONTAGE, LUIZA DE SOUZA COROA (2024). [A EMPREGABILIDADE E A DECISÃO DA APOSENTADORIA NA VISÃO DOS TRABALHADORES OFFSHORE MAIS VELHOS]. 118P. - MASTER'S DISSERTATION IN PSYCHOLOGY - ADVISOR: LUCIA HELENA DE FREITAS PINHO FRANÇA; RESEARCH PROGRAM: SOCIAL COGNITION, ORGANIZATIONS AND WORK
ABSTRACT
THE CONCEPT OF EMPLOYABILITY IS RELATED TO STRATEGIES FOR ATTRACTING AND KEEPING INDIVIDUALS IN THE LABOR MARKET. HOWEVER, IF WE CONSIDER THE MOST RECENT RESEARCH WITH OLDER WORKERS, IT IS POSSIBLE TO OBSERVE THAT THE CHANCE OF REMAINING EMPLOYED TENDS TO DECREASE WITH INCREASING AGE. DESPITE THIS, IT IS POSSIBLE TO ENCOURAGE THESE WORKERS TO STAY, IF PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS ARE MANAGED THAT INFLUENCE WHETHER OLDER WORKERS ARE ATTRACTED TO OR REMAIN AT WORK. IN THE SPECIFIC CASE OF OLDER OFFSHORE WORKERS, IN ADDITION TO THE OBSTACLES CAUSED BY AGE, THEY FACE STRENUOUS WORKING CONDITIONS, SOCIAL ISOLATION AND RISKS OF A PERSONAL, COLLECTIVE AND ENVIRONMENTAL NATURE. BASED ON THESE PECULIARITIES, THE GENERAL AIM OF THIS RESEARCH WAS TO IDENTIFY THE PREDICTORS OF EMPLOYABILITY AND JOB CONTINUITY PERCEIVED BY OLDER BRAZILIAN OFFSHORE WORKERS, AND TWO STUDIES WERE CARRIED OUT. THE FIRST STUDY IDENTIFIED HOW THE LITERATURE APPROACHES THE EMPLOYABILITY OF OLDER WORKERS, AND WHICH PREDICTORS HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED. THE SEARCH WAS CARRIED OUT ON THE GOOGLE SCHOLAR SEARCH PLATFORM WITH ARTICLES PUBLISHED BETWEEN 2015 AND 2023, RESULTING IN 47 ARTICLES FOR REVIEW. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE PREDICTORS MOST INVESTIGATED IN THESE STUDIES INCLUDE AGE, HEALTH, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND WORK TIES. THE SECOND STUDY LOOKED AT THE PREDICTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE SELF-PERCEIVED EMPLOYABILITY AND DESIRE TO CONTINUE OR RETIRE OF OLDER OFFSHORE WORKERS, AND ALSO INVESTIGATED THE MEDIATING ROLE OF SELF-PERCEIVED EMPLOYABILITY BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL PREDICTORS AND THE DECISION TO RETIRE. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF 367 OFFSHORE WORKERS AGED 45 OR OVER, BRAZILIAN AND OF BOTH SEXES. THE SURVEY USED A QUESTIONNAIRE CONTAINING SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONS AND MEASUREMENT SCALES, NAMELY: ORGANIZATIONAL ENTRENCHMENT SCALE; PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY AT WORK SCALE; QUALITY OF LIFE AT WORK SCALE (WORKING CONDITIONS AND WORK-LIFE BALANCE); SHORT SCALE OF CURRENT PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT; SELF-PERCEPTION OF EMPLOYABILITY SCALE; AND RETIREMENT DECISION SUMMARY. INITIALLY, THE SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC DATA WAS ANALYZED DESCRIPTIVELY. THE INSTRUMENTS WERE THEN SUBJECTED TO CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS USING THE JASP SOFTWARE VERSION 0.18. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE INDICES OF THE MEASUREMENT MODEL WERE CALCULATED TO ASSESS THE SUITABILITY OF THE ITEMS IN RELATION TO THE CORRESPONDING VARIABLES. FINALLY, A HYPOTHETICAL MODEL WAS TESTED BY MEANS OF STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING, USING INDICATORS SUCH AS CHI-SQUARE (Χ²), ROOT-MEAN-SQUARE ERROR OF APPROXIMATION (RMSEA), COMPARATIVE FIT INDEX (CFI) AND TUCKER-LEWIS INDEX (TLI) TO ASSESS THE FIT OF THE MODEL TO THE DATA. AGE WAS FOUND TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE ON THE DECISION TO RETIRE. HEALTH, EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WERE DETERMINANTS OF EMPLOYABILITY, WHILE PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY AT WORK AND ORGANIZATIONAL ENTRENCHMENT ALSO PLAYED RELEVANT ROLES. WORKING CONDITIONS, PROMOTION OF WORK-LIFE BALANCE, AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORK-LIFE BALANCE AND RETIREMENT DECISIONS WERE HIGHLIGHTED, UNDERSCORING THE NEED FOR SPECIFIC ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIES TO RETAIN OLDER WORKERS IN THE OFFSHORE INDUSTRY. EMPLOYABILITY PARTIALLY MEDIATED THE RELATIONSHIP OF IMPERSONAL BUREAUCRATIC ARRANGEMENTS, ADJUSTMENT TO SOCIAL POSITION, LIMITATIONS OF ALTERNATIVES AND WORK-LIFE BALANCE WITH THE RETIREMENT DECISION. THE STUDY PROVIDES ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE ASPECTS THAT INFLUENCE THE ACQUISITION AND MAINTENANCE OF EMPLOYMENT. IT ALSO PROVIDES THEORETICAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FIELD OF ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY, WHICH CAN BE PUT INTO PRACTICE BY ORGANIZATIONS.

LEÃO, JULIANA DA SILVA SANCHES (2024). [EXPANDINDO A REDE NOMOLÓGICA DA INTERFACE FAMÍLIATRABALHO: UM ESTUDO DE MEDIAÇÃO MODERADA]. 119P. - MASTER'S DISSERTATION IN PSYCHOLOGY - ADVISOR: LARISSA MARIA DAVID GABARDO-MARTINS; RESEARCH LINE: SOCIAL COGNITION, ORGANIZATIONS AND WORK
ABSTRACT
THE FAMILY-WORK INTERFACE IS A CONSTRUCT THAT ANALYZES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FAMILY AND WORK. ACCORDING TO THE FAMILY-WORK RESOURCES MODEL, FAMILY DEMANDS AND RESOURCES INTERFERE WITH WORK RESULTS. THE MODEL ALSO ADVOCATES THAT THIS RELATIONSHIP IS MEDIATED BY PERSONAL RESOURCES. IN ADDITION, KEY RESOURCES AND MACRO RESOURCES ACT AS MODERATORS IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CONTEXTUAL DEMANDS AND RESOURCES AND PERSONAL RESOURCES. IN VIEW OF THIS FRAMEWORK, THIS DISSERTATION AIMED TO EXPAND THE NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK OF THE FAMILY-WORK INTERFACE IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT BY DEVELOPING TWO DIFFERENT STUDIES. THE FIRST STUDY AIMED TO VALIDATE THE ROLE OVERLOAD SCALE IN THE FAMILY CONTEXT, GIVEN THE LACK OF A BRAZILIAN INSTRUMENT FOR THIS PURPOSE. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE BRAZILIAN VERSION, LIKE THE ORIGINAL, REMAINED SINGLE-FACTOR AND HAD SIX ITEMS. THE MULTI-GROUP ANALYSES ATTESTED TO CONFIGURAL, METRIC AND SCALAR INVARIANCE BETWEEN THE GROUPS DIVIDED IN TERMS OF GENDER AND THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF CHILDREN. IN ADDITION, THE SCALE SHOWED POSITIVE CORRELATIONS WITH PERCEIVED FAMILY DEMANDS AND FAMILY[1]WORK CONFLICT, AND NEGATIVE CORRELATIONS WITH PERCEIVED FAMILY SOCIAL SUPPORT. THE SECOND STUDY AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE FAMILY-WORK INTERFACE BY ANALYZING THE MEDIATION OF OPTIMISM IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FAMILY ROLE OVERLOAD AND PERCEIVED FAMILY SOCIAL SUPPORT AND WORK PERFORMANCE. THE STUDY ALSO ANALYZED THE MODERATION OF SELF-ESTEEM IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FAMILY ROLE OVERLOAD AND PERCEIVED FAMILY SOCIAL SUPPORT AND OPTIMISM. THE RESULTS SHOWED A DIRECT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FAMILY ROLE OVERLOAD AND PERCEIVED FAMILY SOCIAL SUPPORT AND WORK PERFORMANCE. IN ADDITION, IT ATTESTED TO THE MEDIATING ROLE OF OPTIMISM, AND THAT IN THE PRESENCE OF HIGH LEVELS OF SELF-ESTEEM, THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN FAMILY ROLE OVERLOAD AND OPTIMISM ARE WEAKENED, WHILE THE ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN PERCEIVED FAMILY SUPPORT AND OPTIMISM ARE STRENGTHENED. THIS EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE HAS IMPORTANT IMPLICATIONS FOR ORGANIZATIONS, AND AT THE END OF THE STUDY, SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH ARE PRESENTED.

ABSTRACT
THIS RESEARCH HAS AS THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF OBSERVING THE INTERACTION OF EARLY EARLY EDUCATION TEACHERS DURING SHARED READING ACTIVITIES, REGARDING THE TYPE OF QUESTIONS ASKED TO EXPLORE THE STORY. ADDITIONALLY, WE INVESTIGATED WHETHER THE TYPE OF QUESTION ASKED (LITERAL/INFERENTIAL) AFFECTED THE TYPE OF CHILD'S RESPONSE. 20 EARLY EARLY EDUCATION TEACHERS PARTICIPATED IN THIS RESEARCH, WHO WERE OBSERVED IN TWO SHARED READING SESSIONS IN A NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CLASSROOMS IN A MUNICIPAL EARLY EARLY EDUCATION UNIT IN THE CITY OF NITERÓI – RJ. DATA WAS COLLECTED THROUGH RECORDINGS MADE DURING SHARED READING ACTIVITIES AND THEN TRANSCRIBED AND ANALYZED. BASED ON PREVIOUS STUDIES, THE FOLLOWING HYPOTHESES WERE SUGGESTED: (I) EARLY EARLY EDUCATION TEACHERS USE LITERAL MORE THAN INFERENTIAL QUESTIONS DURING SHARED READING SESSIONS; (II) THE QUALITY OF THE QUESTION IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LINGUISTIC QUALITY OF THE ANSWER. THE RESULTS CORORBORATE PREVIOUS STUDIES SHOWING THAT THE PROPORTION OF LITERAL QUESTIONS (69%) IS GREATER THAN THE PROPORTION OF INFERENTIAL QUESTIONS (31%). PHI CORRELATIONS BETWEEN THE QUESTIONS AND THE CHILDREN'S INFERENTIAL ANSWERS SHOWED A SIGNIFICANT AND POSITIVE RESULT, SHOWING AN ASSOCIATION BETWEEN ASKING INFERENTIAL QUESTIONS AND GETTING MORE INFERENTIAL ANSWERS. THE RESEARCH RESULTS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO CORROBORATING THE CONTRIBUTION OF TEACHER INTERACTION WITH THE USE OF INFERENTIAL QUESTIONS IN SHARED READING ACTIVITIES IN CHILDREN'S LINGUISTIC DEVELOPMENT.
KEYWORDS: SHARED READING, EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION, TEACHER-STUDENT INTERACTION, LANGUAGE, INFERENTIAL AND LITERAL QUESTIONS.

ABSTRACT
WORK REDESIGN CONSTITUTES THROUGH PROACTIVE BEHAVIORS OF EMPLOYEES AIMING TO REDESIGN THEIR PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES, PROVIDING THEM WITH MEANING, VALENCE AND ALIGNING THEM WITH PERSONAL VALUES. BASED ON SEVERAL RESEARCH THAT WAS BASED ON THE WORK DEMANDS AND RESOURCES MODEL (JOB DEMANDS-RESOURCES MODEL - JD-R), THIS WAS APPLIED TO BASIS THE RELATIONSHIP AND CONTRIBUTIONS BETWEEN PERSONAL AND WORK RESOURCES WITH THE SAID CONSTRUCT . HOWEVER, GUIDED BY THIS REFERENCE, THIS DISSERTATION CONSIDERED AUTONOMY AT WORK AND THE SUPERVISOR'S SUPPORTIVE BEHAVIOR TO THE FAMILY, AS WORK RESOURCES, LEADING TO THE STAGE OF WORK WELL-BEING GENERATING FLOWERING AT WORK, THEREFORE, SUCH CONSTRUCTION LEADS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF REDESIGN BEHAVIOR AT WORK. TO SUCH AN INTENT, TWO STUDY WERE CARRIED OUT, AT TWO INTERVAL TIMES. THE FIRST STUDY WAS OF A PSYCHOMETRIC ORDER WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF ANALYZING THE TOPIC, BY ADAPTING AND GATHERING EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY FOR THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT OF THE HIERARCHICAL SCALE OF REDESIGN BEHAVIORS AT WORK, IN VIEW OF THE LACK OF PREVIOUS ADAPTATIONS. THE SAMPLE WAS CONSISTED OF 547 BRAZILIAN WORKERS, OF BOTH SEXES AND FROM DIFFERENT PROFESSIONS. THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS SHOWN THAT THE 18-ITEM MODEL, DIVIDED INTO FOUR REFLECTIVE FACTORS (INCREASE IN RESOURCES, INCREASE IN CHALLENGING DEMANDS, REDUCTION IN DEMANDS AND OPTIMIZATION OF DEMANDS) AND ONE FORMATIVE FACTOR (WORK REDESIGN) WAS THE ONE THAT PRESENTED THE BEST ADJUSTMENT INDICES. THE RESULTS DEMONSTRATED THAT REDESIGN AT WORK HAD A POSITIVE CORRELATION WITH WORK ENGAGEMENT AND A NEGATIVE CORRELATION WITH WORK EXHAUSTION. THE SECOND STUDY, IN TURN, AIMED TO Elucidate HOW DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTS CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF WORK REDESIGN, THUS LEADING IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE AREA OF ORGANIZATIONAL AND WORK PSYCHOLOGY, VIEWING THE SCARCITY OF STUDIES AND RESEARCH ON THIS CONSTRUCTION O. THUS, THE OBJECTIVE WAS TO TEST THE RELATIONSHIP OF TWO WORK RESOURCES (SUPERVISOR'S FAMILY SUPPORTIVE BEHAVIOR AND AUTONOMY AT WORK) WITH REDESIGN AT WORK, AS WELL AS THE MEDIATION OF FLOURISHING AT WORK IN SUCH RELATIONSHIPS. TO ACHIEVE THE PROPOSED OBJECTIVE, THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF 509 BRAZILIAN PROFESSIONALS OF BOTH SEXES AND FROM DIFFERENT PROFESSIONS. THE RESULTS OF STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING EVIDENCED A DIRECT AND POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORK RESOURCES AND WORK REDESIGN. FURTHERMORE, THEY DEMONSTRATED THE MEDIATING ROLE OF FLOURISHMENT AT WORK IN THESE RELATIONSHIPS. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE PRESENT DISSERTATION PRESENTS THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL RELEVANCE, BY VIRTUE OF HAVING GATHERED INITIAL EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY, FOR THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT, OF A MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT THAT HAD NOT YET BEEN ADAPTED FOR THIS CONTEXT, AND OF HAVING PROPOSED AND TESTED A MODEL NOT YET EXPLORED IN NATIONAL AND FOREIGN STUDIES. CONSEQUENTLY, IT CONTRIBUTED TO THE ADVANCE OF UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE FACTORS THAT HELP TO EXPLAIN WORK REDESIGN BEHAVIOR IN BRAZILIAN PROFESSIONALS, WHICH CHARACTERIZES AN ADVANCE FOR BOTH ACADEMIA AND WORK ORGANIZATIONS.

ABSTRACT
ADOLESCENCE IS MARKED BY BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL CHANGES AND PROFESSIONAL CHOICE IS DEMANDED AT THIS STAGE, WHICH MAY BE THROUGH ENTRY INTO HIGHER EDUCATION. TO TAKE COURSE[1], THE STUDENT MUST BE APPROVED AND CLASSIFIED IN A TEST. CURRENTLY THE MAIN GATEWAY TO AN UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE IS THE NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL EXAM (ENEM), WHICH PREPARATION INVOLVES NUMEROUS CHALLENGES, WHICH MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THE TRIGGERING OF ANXIETY SYMPTOMS. THE GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS DISSERTATION IS TO IDENTIFY HOW 3RD YEAR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE EXPERIENCE PREPARING FOR THE ENEM. TO THIS END, TWO STUDY WERE CARRIED OUT. THE FIRST OBJECTIVE WAS IDENTIFYING THE CONCEPTIONS OF PRIVATE SCHOOL STUDENTS ABOUT THE ENEM PREPARATION AND APPROVAL PROCESS, ABOUT THE TEST DAY AND ITS CONSEQUENCES, AS WELL AS THEIR EMOTIONS. IT WAS ALSO THE OBJECTIVE TO MEASURE ANXIETY LEVELS OF THESE PRE-ENEM STUDENTS. TO THIS END, A FOCUS GROUP WAS CONDUCTED AND THE ANXIETY SUBSCALE OF THE DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND STRESS SCALE FOR ADOLESCENTS (EDAE-A) WAS APPLIED TO NINE STUDENTS AT A PRIVATE SCHOOL IN RIO DE JANEIRO. THE FOCUS GROUP GENERATED FOUR CLASSES: CONCEPTIONS ABOUT ENEM AND EXPERIENCED EMOTIONS; CONSEQUENCES OF THE ENEM RESULT; PERCEPTIONS ABOUT PERFORMANCE AND CHALLENGES AND REQUIREMENTS EXPERIENCED. AMONG THE RESULTS OF APPLICATION OF EDAE-A, 11.1% (N=1) OF THE SAMPLE WAS CLASSIFIED WITH NORMAL/MILD LEVEL, 11.1% (N=1) WITH MINIMUM LEVEL, 11.1% (N=1 ) WITH MODERATE LEVEL, 22.2% (N=2) WITH SEVERE LEVEL AND 44.4% (N=4) WITH VERY SEVERE LEVEL OF ANXIETY. THE SECOND OBJECTIVE OF IDENTIFYING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANXIETY, SOCIAL SKILLS, SELF-EFFICACY AND COPING STRATEGIES IN 3rd YEAR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN PRIVATE ENEM SCHOOLS AND VERIFYING THE PREDICTIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE EXPLANATORY VARIABLES SOCIAL SKILLS, EFFECTIVENESS AND COPING STRATEGIES AND THE ANXIETY CRITERIA VARIABLE USING FOUR SCALES: SOCIAL SKILLS QUESTIONNAIRE (CHASO); PERCEIVED GENERAL SELF-EFFICACY SCALE (EAGP); BRAZILIAN COPING SCALE FOR ADOLESCENTS - REVISED VERSION (EBCA) AND DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND STRESS SCALE FOR ADOLESCENTS (EDAE-A) IN 113 STUDENTS FROM PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN RIO DE JANEIRO. AS RESULTS, A NEGATIVE CORRELATION WAS FOUND BETWEEN ANXIETY AND SELF-EFFICACY, PROBLEM-FOCUSED COPING STRATEGIES AND SOCIAL SKILLS FACTORS, IN ADDITION TO A NEGATIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN EMOTION-FOCUSED COPING AND SELF-EFFICACY AND SOCIAL SKILLS. THE POSITIVE CORRELATIONS IDENTIFIED WERE BETWEEN ANXIETY AND EMOTION-FOCUSED COPING AND SOCIAL SKILLS FACTORS, IN ADDITION TO A POSITIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN SELF-EFFICACY, SOCIAL SKILLS AND PROBLEM-FOCUSED COPING STRATEGIES. REGARDING THE PREDICTIONS, THE EXPLANATORY VARIABLES EXPLAINED 14% OF ANXIETY. HOWEVER, ONLY EMOTION-FOCUSED COPING STRATEGIES WERE STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT, POSITIVELY IMPACTING ANXIETY. THE STUDIES HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO UNDERSTANDING HOW THE PREPARATION PERIOD FOR THE ENEM CAN BE CHALLENGING IN THE LIVES OF ADOLESCENTS AND HOW IT CAN IMPACT THE MENTAL HEALTH OF STUDENTS, PROVIDING SUBSIDIES FOR FUTURE INTERVENTIONS AND RESEARCH ON THE TOPIC.

ABSTRACT
THE ABILITY TO MANAGE CHANGE IS BECOMING AN ESSENTIAL COMPETENCE FOR ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR MEMBERS, WHICH NEED TO ADAPT TO AN INCREASINGLY DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT. THE GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS THESIS WAS TO INVESTIGATE PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY AND AGILITY BEHAVIOR IN THE FACE OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER PERSONAL AND CONTEXTUAL VARIABLES, FROM SCALE ADAPTATION STUDIES, MODERATE MEDIATION, AS WELL AS LONGITUDINAL AND INTERVENTION STUDY . TO THIS END, FOUR STUDY WERE CARRIED OUT. THE FIRST TESTED THE PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF THE AGILITY SCALE IN THE FACE OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES IN A SAMPLE OF 494 WORKERS. THE RESULTS CONFIRMED THE UNI-FACTORIAL STRUCTURE OF THE MEASURE, MAINTAINING THE FIVE ITEMS OF THE ORIGINAL SCALE AND IDENTIFYING RELATIONSHIPS WITH EXTERNAL VARIABLES, WHETHER POSITIVE (SUPPORT FOR CHANGE, ATTITUDE OF ACCEPTANCE AND OPENING TO EXPERIENCE) OR NEGATIVE (SCEPTICISM AND RESISTANCE TO CHANGE). THUS, THE STUDY PROVIDES EVIDENCE OF THE VALIDITY OF THE ORIGINAL SCALE FOR BRAZILIAN SAMPLES, CONTRIBUTING TO FUTURE STUDIES ON THE TOPIC. THE SECOND STUDY, IN TURN, HAD THE OBJECTIVE OF EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE ON WELL-BEING AT WORK AND ON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AS WELL AS THE MEDIATING ROLE OF AGILITY IN THE FACE OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES AND MODERATING RESISTANCE TO CHANGE IN THESE RELATIONSHIPS ÕES. WITH A SAMPLE OF 310 WORKERS, IT WAS POSSIBLE TO CORROBORATE THE INFLUENCE OF THE PERCEPTION OF ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE ON BOTH WELL-BEING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, SIGNALING THE IMPORTANCE OF INVESTMENTS IN ACTIONS THAT GENERATE GREATER PERCEPTIONS OF ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE . THE MODERATOR ROLE OF RESISTANCE TO CHANGE BETWEEN RELATIONSHIPS OF ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE AND AGILITY IN THE FACE OF CHANGES WAS ALSO EVIDENT, POINTING TO THE NEED FOR COMMUNICATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT ACTIONS DIRECTED TO REDUCING LEVELS OF RESISTANCE TO CHANGE. CONTINUOUSLY, THE THIRD STUDY EVALUATED THE INFLUENCE OF ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT ON WORK PERFORMANCE, AS WELL AS THE MEDIATING ROLE OF AGILITY IN THE FACE OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES AND MODERATING THE LOCUS OF CONTROL IN SUCH RELATIONSHIPS. THE LONGITUDINAL DESIGN STUDY INCLUDED 321 WORKERS IN THE FIRST WAVE, 82 IN THE SECOND AND 66 IN THE THIRD WAVE. THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT WORK PERFORMANCE IS BETTER EXPLAINED BY THE DIRECT RELATIONSHIP WITH ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT THAN BY THE MECHANISM OF AGILITY IN THE FACE OF CHANGES, SHOWING THAT IMPROVEMENTS IN WORK PERFORMANCE IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE CAN BE OBTAINED FROM INCREASED SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONAL AND STRATEGIES THAT FAVOR AGILITY IN THE FACE OF CHANGE. THE FOURTH AND LAST STUDY TESTED THE EFFECTS OF AN INTERVENTION BASED ON PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY ON WORK WELL-BEING IN 26 PSYCHOLOGY UNDERGRADUATES, DIVIDED INTO A PILOT GROUP (N=16) AND EXPERIMENTAL GROUP (N=10) AND INDICATED THAT THE DEGREE OF WORKERS' INVOLVEMENT WITH THEIR WORK CAN BE INCREASED WHEN THE ORGANIZATION INVESTS IN DEVELOPING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY OF ITS EMPLOYEES. AS A WHOLE, THE THESIS CONTRIBUTED TO THE EXPANDED UNDERSTANDING OF THE PHENOMENA RELATED TO ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE, WITH THEORETICAL, METHODOLOGICAL AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS THAT ARE DISCUSSED IN THE STUDIES CARRIED OUT.

ABSTRACT
CHANGES IN THE WORLD OF WORK IN THE LAST DECADES HAVE ALTERED THE CONCEPTIONS OF PROFESSIONAL CAREERS, BUT MUCH OF THE STUDIES ON THE TOPIC STILL HAVE LOW APPLICATION TO THE REALITY OF AN EXPRESSIVE CONTINGENT OF WORKERS WHO ARE IN THE MOST SOCIALLY VULNERABLE SESSIONS OF THE POPULATION. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PRESENT STUDY WAS TO TEST AN ADAPTED VERSION OF THE WORK PSYCHOLOGY THEORY MODEL ON PRECARIOUS WORKERS, SPECIFICALLY IN THE CATEGORY OF CAR KEEPERS. FROM A CROSS-CROSS-CUT STUDY AND QUANTITATIVE APPROACH, 12 HYPOTHESES WERE TESTED INVOLVING A NETWORK OF POSSIBLE PREDICTORS, MEDIATORS AND CONSEQUENTIAL VARIABLES OF DECENT WORK, CONSIDERING: ECONOMIC RESTRICTIONS, MARGINALIZATION, WORK VOLUME, DECENT WORK, NEED FOR SURVIVAL, NEED OF SOCIAL CONNECTION, NEED FOR AUTONOMY AND PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF 303 CAR KEEPERS, 56.1% FEMALE, AGED BETWEEN 18 AND 58 YEARS OLD (M = 25.7 YEARS; SD = 6.3). THE DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENTS HAD ALREADY BEEN USED PREVIOUSLY IN BRAZILIAN SAMPLES AND SHOWED AN ADEQUATE DEGREE OF RELIABILITY AND GOOD FIT INDEXES. DATA COLLECTION OCCURRED ONLINE AND ALL ETHICAL PRECAUTIONS WERE GUARANTEED IN THE APPLICATION. FOR DATA ANALYSIS WE USE GENERAL LINEAR MODELS, WITH SUPPORT OF JAMOVI SOFTWARE. THE RESULTS CONFIRMED THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ECONOMIC RESTRICTIONS AND MARGINALIZATION AND THE PREDICTION OF THESE TWO VARIABLES ON THE PERCEPTION OF WORK VOLUME. THIS IN TURN ACTED AS A PREDICTOR OF DECENT WORK. FURTHERMORE, THE EVIDENCE FROM THIS STUDY INFORMS US THAT THE GREATER THE PERCEPTION OF DECENT WORK, THE MORE THE WORKER TENDS TO PERCEIVE THAT THEY ARE DEVELOPING PROFESSIONALLY AND THAT PERCEIVING THEMSELVES IN DECENT WORK PREDICTS DIFFERENT TYPES OF WORK NEEDS – SPECIFICALLY SURVIVAL NEEDS ÊNCIA , SOCIAL CONNECTION AND AUTONOMY – ON THE PART OF CAR KEEPERS. HOWEVER, NONE OF THESE NEEDS ACTED AS A PREDICTOR OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE MEDIATION HYPOTHESES PREDICTED IN THE WORK PSYCHOLOGY THEORY MODEL WERE NOT CONFIRMED. THESE RESULTS OFFER A SET OF THEORETICAL CONTRIBUTIONS THAT ARE DISCUSSED THROUGHOUT THE STUDY. AS PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS, THIS STUDY SUGGESTS THAT ORGANIZATIONS INVEST IN ACTIONS THAT ENABLE TO INCREASE WORKERS' VOLUME LEVEL AND BRING BENEFITS TO THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE FILLING OF THEIR WORK-ASSOCIATED NEEDS.

ABSTRACT
HIGHER EDUCATION TEACHERS PLAY A FUNDAMENTAL ROLE IN PROMOTING AND BUILDING EDUCATION. YOUR WORK IS ESSENTIAL TO THE FUNCTIONING OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS (HEIs) AND INVOLVES A SERIES OF RESPONSIBILITIES AND THE NEED FOR UPDATES TO MEET WORK DEMANDS. HOWEVER, THESE PROFESSIONALS OFTEN FACE UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS IN THEIR WORK ENVIRONMENT, WHICH CAN NEGATIVELY AFFECT THEIR PERFORMANCE AND PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING. IN ADDITION, TEACHERS' PERFORMANCE INCLUDES EMOTIONAL DEMANDS, SINCE EMOTIONS ARE INTRINSIC TO THEIR ROLE. THEREFORE, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THE EMOTIONAL DIMENSION IN TEACHERS’ PROFESSIONAL LIFE. THERE IS A GAP IN THE LITERATURE REGARDING THE STUDY OF EMOTIONAL WORK (ET) WITH HEI TEACHERS. TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE LITERATURE, THIS DISSERTATION SEEKS TO CHARACTERIZE EMOTIONAL WORK IN UNIVERSITY TEACHERS USING THE INTEGRATIVE TEACHING MODEL AS A BASIS. TO ACHIEVE THIS OBJECTIVE, TWO STUDY WERE CARRIED OUT. STUDY 1 BEING A SCOPE REVIEW THAT SEEKED TO IDENTIFY AND MAP THE TE OF UNIVERSITY TEACHERS USING AS A SEARCH STRATEGY ARTICLES PUBLISHED SINCE 1983 IN FOUR DATABASES: SCIENTIFIC ELECTRONIC LIBRARY ONLINE (SCIELO), AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION (APA PSYCNET ), EDUCATION RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER (ERIC) AND MEDLINE. 1003 ARTICLES WERE IDENTIFIED, WHICH WERE ANALYZED BY TWO INDEPENDENT JUDGES FOLLOWING THE INCLUSION CRITERIA: (1) FOLLOW THE CENTRAL THEME: TE IN UNIVERSITY TEACHERS; (2) THE SELECTED MATERIAL FOLLOWED THE ARTICLE FORMAT; (3) THE METHOD WAS NOT LIMITED; (4) THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE ARTICLES RAISED ARE UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS; (5) VARIABLES: EMOTIONAL WORK AND ONLY 14 ARTICLES ADVANCED IN THE ELIGIBILITY STUDY BEING INCLUDED FOR ANALYSIS WHICH WAS BASED ON INTERACTIONAL, TECHNICAL-PEDAGOGICAL, INTRAPERSONAL EMOTIONAL DEMANDS, EMOTIONAL REGULATION STRATEGIES AND THE IMPACT ON THE PROFESSIONAL. THE STUDY SUGGESTS INSERTING DEMANDS ARISING FROM THE ORGANIZATION AND MANAGERS, IN ADDITION TO ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIVITIES, TAKING A CAREFUL LOOK AT VARIABLES SUCH AS ORGANIZATIONAL, MANAGEMENT AND PEER SUPPORT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO ADVANCES IN STUDIES ON THE TOPIC. THERE WAS A PREDOMINANCE OF QUALITATIVE STUDIES AND IT IS NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT MORE STUDIES ON TE IN TEACHERS AT HIGHER INSTITUTIONS. STUDY 2 SEEKED, THROUGH QUALITATIVE RESEARCH, TO CHARACTERIZE TE IN PSYCHOLOGY TEACHERS FROM PUBLIC AND PRIVATE HEIS IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO BY PERFORMING AN ANALYSIS OF THE CONTEXTUAL ASPECTS OF THE ORGANIZATION, HIGHLIGHTING THE MACROCATEGORIES OF EMOTIONAL DEMAND: INTERACTIONAL, PEDAGOGICAL AND INTRAPERSONAL. TO ACHIEVE THE RESULTS, ELEVEN TEACHERS WERE INVITED BY CONVENIENCE, FIVE FROM PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS AND SIX FROM PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS WITH AT LEAST TWO YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. FOR DATA COLLECTION, RESPONDENTS COMPLETED AN ONLINE SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONNAIRE AND THEN PARTICIPATED IN A SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEW WHICH DATA WAS ANALYZED BY THE IRAMUTEQ SOFTWARE. THROUGH DATA ANALYSIS IT WAS SEEN THAT IN PUBLIC HEIS THE INTERACTIONAL DEMANDS ARE STUDENTS AND PEERS AND THE TECHNICAL-PEDAGOGICAL DEMANDS ARE RETURNED TO BUREAUCRATIC ACTIVITIES, WHILE IN PRIVATE HEIS THE INTERACTIONAL DEMANDS ARE STUDENTS AND MANAGEMENT AND THE TECHNICAL-PEDAGOGICAL DEMANDS INCLUDE ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE OPERATION OF THE INSTITUTION. TEACHERS AT PRIVATE HEIS HAVE LESS AUTONOMY COMPARED TO TEACHERS AT PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.

ABSTRACT
THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO INVESTIGATE SOCIAL PERCEPTIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE SCHOOL EXPERIENCE, AFTER THE PERIOD OF REMOTE EDUCATION (EMERGENCY) CAUSED BECAUSE OF COVID 19; IDENTIFY REPRESENTATIONAL ELEMENTS LINKED TO SCHOOL AS A SOCIAL OBJECT, THEIR MEANINGS AFTER REMOTE TEACHING AND THE SOCIAL FUNCTION OF SCHOOL FOR SUBJECTS PARTICIPATING IN THE RESEARCH. THE TARGET AUDIENCE OF THIS RESEARCH WAS STUDENTS IN THE FINAL YEARS OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION WHO WERE REGULARLY ENROLLED IN THE YEARS OF 2019, 2020, 2021 AND 2022. THE RESEARCH TOOK PLACE IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF SÃO GONÇALO AND I, TOTALING 30 STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE STUDY I AND 259 STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN STUDY II. THE METHODOLOGY USED HAS A QUALITATIVE DESIGN AND WAS DEVELOPED IN TWO STUDIES. DATA FROM THE FIRST STUDY WERE COLLECTED THROUGH THE GIBI TECHNIQUE AND THE SECOND STUDY USED THE ASSOCIAÇÃO LIVRE DE PALAVRAS TECHNIQUE. THE DATA COLLECTED FROM THE GIBI TECHNIQUE WAS SUBJECTED TO CONTENT ANALYSIS AND TRANSCRIBED IN FULL, THE CHOSEN IMAGES AND JUSTIFICATIONS WERE ANALYZED AND DISCUSSED. IN STUDY II, THE FREE WORD ASSOCIATION TECHNIQUE WAS USED, THE DATA COLLECTED WAS ANALYZED BY MEANS OF PROTOTYPICAL ANALYSIS WITH THE SUPPORT OF IRAMUTEQ AND EVOC2003 SOFTWARE. THE RESEARCH RESULTS INDICATE THAT STUDENTS DURING THE PANDEMIC EXPERIENCED FEELINGS OF FEAR, SADNESS AND ANXIETY. THE LACK OF LIVING WITH FRIENDS AT SCHOOL AND THE DIFFICULTY OF LEARNING DURING ONLINE CLASSES WERE RESULTS THAT EMERGED BRINGING THE SOCIAL IMPORTANCE OF SCHOOL. AS THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL SUPPORT, THE THEORY OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS WAS USED, WHICH GUIDED THE RESEARCH.

ABSTRACT
ENTERING INTEGRATED SECONDARY EDUCATION (EMI) IN BRAZIL CAN GENERATE DIFFERENT EXPECTATIONS FOR STUDENTS, DEPENDING ON DIFFERENT FACTORS, SUCH AS FAMILY SETTING, INDIVIDUAL ASPIRATIONS AND SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONS. IN THE SEARCH FOR TRAINING THAT PREPARES YOU FOR THE JOB MARKET, THIS PATH CAN BE FACILITATED BY INTERNSHIP AND PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE OPPORTUNITIES WHICH ARE AMONG THE ACADEMIC CHALLENGES TO BE FACED BY THE STUDENT. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT EXPECTATIONS, AS IDEAS THAT AN INDIVIDUAL MAKES OF THEIR FUTURE EXPERIENCES, CAN VARY WIDELY AMONG STUDENTS AND THE ACTUAL EXPERIENCE WILL DEPEND ON HOW THEIR PATH WILL BE TAKEN, INCLUDING SPECIFIC PROGRAMS WITHIN THE SCHOOL, THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION , THE CONDITIONS LOCATIONS AND THEIR OWN CHARACTERISTICS. FURTHERMORE, IT IS CRITICAL THAT STUDENTS ARE AWARE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH EMI TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR EDUCATION. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS, THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS THESIS WERE TO IDENTIFY THE ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS ENTERING INTEGRATED HIGH SCHOOL, TO EVIDENCE THE ACCURACY AND VALIDITY OF AN ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS SCALE FOR INTEGRATED HIGH SCHOOL (EEAEMI), TO IDENTIFY AND DESCRIBE THE IMPACT OF EXPECTATIONS ACTIVE ACADEMICS OF EMI STUDENTS ON THE PERCEPTION OF SOCIAL SUPPORT AND MOTIVATION TO LEARN MEDIATED BY SOCIAL SKILLS AND IDENTIFY WHETHER THE EXPECTATIONS OF COMPLETING STUDENTS WERE MET AT THE END OF THE THIRD YEAR, SETTING UP A LONGITUDINAL STUDY. TO ANSWER THE RESEARCH QUESTION “WHAT ARE THE ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS THAT STUDENTS PURSUING TO EMI HAVE?” FIVE STUDIES WERE ORGANIZED. WITH THE TITLE ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS OF ENTRANTS IN INTEGRATED SECONDARY EDUCATION, THE FIRST STUDY HAD THE OBJECTIVE OF IDENTIFYING AND DESCRIBING THE EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS ENROLLING AT EMI, CONSIDERING THE ASPECTS RELATED TO THEIR EDUCATION, ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE, PROSPECT OF SUCCESS IN A VALUED PROFESSION, STABILITY WITH RECOGNITION IN THE CHOSEN PROFESSION AND IN THE FUTURE OBTAIN REWARDS IN YOUR CAREERS IN A VALUED PROFESSION. A QUALITATIVE APPROACH WAS ADOPTED, BASED ON THE ANALYSIS OF THE SPEECHES OF THE 33 PARTICIPANT STUDENTS ENTERING THE EMI, WHO ANSWERED QUESTIONS FROM A SEMI-STRUCTURED ITINERARY PREPARED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE STUDY. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THERE IS A GENERAL CONTROL OVER EXPECTATIONS AND INCOMING STUDENTS VIEW THE POSSIBILITY OF CARRYING OUT PEDAGOGICAL ACTIVITIES SUCH AS SCIENCE FAIRS, DEBATES, SEMINARS AND CONFERENCES ASSOCIATED WITH SPORTS AND CULTURAL EVENTS PROVIDED BY SCHOOLS GLUE. THEY HOPE TO HAVE A SOCIALLY VALUED PROFESSION ALTHOUGH THEY KNOW THAT ACHIEVING A GOOD SALARY, WITH THE CURRENT ECONOMIC SCENARIO IS A GREAT CHALLENGE. IN GENERAL THERE IS A DESIRE TO ATTEND A UNIVERSITY AND TO DO THIS THEY WANT TO ACHIEVE BETTER GRADES DURING THE EMI. THE RESULTS ALSO SHOWN THAT THERE IS A GREAT CONCERN THAT AT THE END OF THE COURSE THEY WILL FEEL FRUSTRATED WITH THE QUALIFICATION THEY CHOOSE. THE SECOND STUDY, EEAEMI VALIDITY EVIDENCE AIMED TO PRODUCE ACCURACY AND VALIDITY EVIDENCE FOR A MEASUREMENT OF STUDENTS' ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS FOR THE EMI CONTEXT.THIS IS A STUDY INVOLVING 503 ENTRY STUDENTS, AGED BETWEEN 15 AND 18 YEARS OLD, ENROLLED IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN RIO DE JANEIRO AND NITERÓI. OF THE TOTAL STUDENTS, 78.72% BELONGED TO SOCIOECONOMIC CLASSES C1 AND C2 AND 55.27% WERE MALE. THE METHOD USED A REVIEW OF EVIDENCE OF THEORETICAL, SEMANTIC VALIDITY, INTERNAL STRUCTURE AND BASED ON OTHER CONSTRUCTS AND SEARCH FOR CONVERGENT OR DISCRIMINATING RELATIONSHIPS. FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF THE INSTRUMENT, THE INITIAL VERSION WITH 103 ITEMS WAS REVIEWED BY FIVE SPECIALIST JUDGES, FROM BRAZIL. THE JUDGES' REVIEW LEADED TO THE WITHDRAWAL OF SOME ITEMS. THE FINAL VERSION WITH 50 ITEMS WAS APPLIED TO A SAMPLE OF 30 STUDENTS, IN A PILOT STUDY, TO ADEQUATE IT FOR THE PARTICIPANT PROFILE. It was found that the exploratory factor analysis of the scale showed good adjustment rates with 18 items distributed in four factors, showing that there are good evidence of precision and validity, making the instrument fit to measure academic expectations in EMI. THE THIRD STUDY EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY AND ACCURACY OF THE ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS SCALE FOR VIII THE CONTEXT OF INTEGRATED HIGH SCHOOL WAS TO GATHER EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY AND ACCURACY OF THE EEAEMI () THROUGH CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS (CFA). THE STUDY INCLUDED THE PARTICIPATION OF 503 STUDENTS WITH AGES VARYING BETWEEN 14 AND 18 YEARS OLD (M=15.26; SD=1.03), 61.23% (N=308) MALE. THE AFC REPORTED THE FACTOR STRUCTURE WITH 18 ITEMS IN FOUR DIMENSIONS. THE FOURTH STUDY MODELING THE EFFECT OF ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS ON VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN INTEGRATED SECONDARY EDUCATION TESTED A STRUCTURE MODEL BY MODELING STRUCTURAL EQUATIONS EXAMINING THE PROCESS OF MEDIATION OF SOCIAL SKILLS IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS MI AND THE VARIABLES PERCEPTION OF SUPPORT SOCIAL AND MOTIVATION TO LEARN. THE STUDY CONSIDERED EXPECTATIONS AS PREDICTORS OF MOTIVATION TO LEARN AND PERCEPTION OF SOCIAL SUPPORT, MEDIATED BY STUDENTS' SOCIAL SKILLS. 1256 STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE EMI IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO PARTICIPATED WITH AGES VARYING BETWEEN 14 AND 18 YEARS OLD (M=15.76; SD=1.73), 61.07% (N=767). THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS INFLUENCE THE PERCEPTION OF SOCIAL SUPPORT AND THE MOTIVATION TO LEARN, THROUGH THE SOCIAL SKILLS OF STUDENTS. THE FIFTH STUDY EXPECTATIONS AND ACHIEVEMENTS OF INTEGRATED HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE PANDEMIC: A STUDY IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO AIMED TO IDENTIFY AND DESCRIBE THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF EMI COMPLETING STUDENTS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT TO COMPLETE THE COURSE, IDENTIFICATION WITH THEIR CAREER WAS THE STARTING POINT TO OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES AND COMPLETE THE STAGE EVEN INDICATING THE DISCONTINUITY IN THEIR CAREERS. BASED ON THE PROPOSITION THAT SOCIAL SKILLS FUNCTION AS MEDIATORS BETWEEN ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE PERCEPTION OF SOCIAL SUPPORT AND THE MOTIVATION TO LEARN, A PATH TO BE EXPLORED IS UNDERSTANDED THAT POINTS TOWARDS THIS DIRECTION, BASED ON THE RESULTS FOUND. SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THESE VARIABLES POINT A THEORETICAL PATH, CONSIDERING THAT THE LITERATURE ALREADY POINTS OUT RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN EXPECTATIONS AND MOTIVATION. THE INSERTION OF SOCIAL SKILLS AND THE PERCEPTION OF SOCIAL SUPPORT IN THE CONTEXT OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING CAN OFFER THE POSSIBILITY OF INVESTIGATION AND PROPOSING ACTIONS THAT WILL COLLABORATE TO ACHIEVE STUDENTS' OBJECTIVES. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING ASPECTS LINKED TO THE POST PANDEMIC CONTEXT. THE CREATION OF AN INSTRUMENT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO ADVANCES TOWARDS SEEKING UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE EXPECTATIONS OF EMI STUDENTS AND THEIR IMPACTS ON THEIR MOTIVATION TO LEARN AND THEIR PERCEPTION OF SOCIAL SUPPORT. IN ANSWER TO THE GENERAL RESEARCH QUESTION, THE ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS OF EMI STUDENTS ARE LINKED TO QUALITY ACADEMIC TRAINING, COMMITMENT TO COMPLETING THE COURSE AND EXPANDING INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY HAS THE OBJECTIVE OF DISCUSSING THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THE ADOLESCENT LIFE PROJECT AND IDENTIFYING RISK AND PROTECTION CONDITIONS INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS. NAMELY, THE LIFE PROJECT REFERS TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SET OF GOALS, PURPOSES OR PLANS THAT MOBILIZE ACTION TOWARDS THE FUTURE, A REFLECTIVE POSTURE THAT GUIDES FUTURE LIFE INTENTIONS, INFLUENCED THE WAY IN WHICH THE INDIVIDUAL LIVES THE PRESENT AND HOW THE FUTURE WILL BE LIVED. TO THIS END, TWO STUDY WERE CARRIED OUT, NAMELY: A SCOPE REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE, WHICH USED THE PRISMA PROTOCOL (ADAPTED FOR SCOPE REVIEWS) TO SYSTEMATIZE THE STEPS TO BE FOLLOWED. THE SECOND STUDY WAS AN EXPLORATORY CHARACTER, WHICH METHOD WAS EVOKING WORDS, USING GENERATING QUESTIONS THAT REFERRED TO THE LIFE PROJECT, THE FACTORS THAT HELP AND FACTORS THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE THE LIFE PROJECT AND A SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONNAIRE. THE PARTICIPANTS WERE ADOLESCENTS AGED 15 TO 18, THE MAJORITY OF WHON WERE FEMALE AND WERE FROM THE UPPER MIDDLE CLASS. TO ANALYZE THE DATA FROM STUDY TWO, NETWORK ANALYSIS WAS USED. AS THE MAIN RESULTS OF STUDY ONE, TWENTY-SIX ARTICLES WERE ANALYZED, THE MAJORITY OF WHICH WERE BY BRAZILIAN AUTHORS. ABOUT THE CONTENT, THE MAIN SPHERES OF LIFE MENTIONED BY THE ADOLESCENTS WERE: PROFESSIONAL CAREER, FAMILY AND PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT; REGARDING FORMAL ASPECTS, ONLY SIX ARTICLES PRESENTED DISCUSSIONS ON ASPECTS OF IDENTIFICATION AND INVOLVEMENT. THE MAIN FACTORS THAT MAKE CONSTRUCTION AND IMPLEMENTATION DIFFICULT ARE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LACK OF FAMILY SUPPORT; AND THE MAIN FACTORS THAT HELP ARE STUDY AND THE SUPPORT NETWORK, COMPOSED OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS. THE MAIN RESULTS OF STUDY TWO ALSO INDICATE THE TRAINING-WORK-FAMILY TRIAD AS PREPONDERANT IN THE LIFE PROJECTS OF ADOLESCENTS. THE MAIN FACTORS THAT MADE IT DIFFICULT TO REALIZE THE PVS WERE: FINANCIAL CONDITION, LACK OF FAMILY SUPPORT AND LACK OF TIME; AND THE MAIN FACTORS THAT HELPED WERE: FRIENDSHIP, FAMILY, STUDY AND SUPPORT. FINALLY, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO CARRY OUT STUDIES THAT CONSIDER THE FORMAL ASPECTS IN THE 5 CONSTRUCTION OF LIFE PROJECTS, AS WELL AS THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE SUBJECT IN ITS TOTALITY, IDENTIFYING PERSONAL AND CONTEXTUAL ASPECTS THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT AND HELP THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE PVS, IN ORDER TO ENHANCE THE FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE AND MINIMIZE THOSE THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT.

ABSTRACT
ENTRY TO HIGHER EDUCATION IS A PERIOD MARKED BY PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL CHANGES, CROSSED BY ACADEMIC DIFFICULTIES FACED BY RECENT UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, INCLUDING EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT AND ADAPTATION TO NEW FORMS OF EVALUATION. ADAPTATION TO THE UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENT IS A COMPLEX PROCESS THAT CAN CAUSE STRESS, THEREFORE IT IS IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE FACILITATING STRATEGIES AND INTERVENTIONS FOR STUDENTS. THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL SKILLS - WHICH REFER TO SOCIALLY VALUED BEHAVIORS - AND SOCIO-EMOTIONAL SKILLS - APTITUDES MANIFESTED IN THOUGHTS, FEELINGS AND BEHAVIORS - IS A POWERFUL BEHAVIORAL REPERTORY FOR THE ACADEMIC AND PERSONAL SUCCESS OF INDIVIDUALS, AND CAN IMPACT ON THEIR STAY IN SCHOOL HOME. SOCIAL AND SOCIO-EMOTIONAL SKILLS ARE ACQUIRED THROUGHOUT LIFE AND ARE FUNDAMENTAL FOR INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS AND PERSONAL WELL-BEING. EXPRESSING EMOTIONS IN AN ASSERTIVE AND ADEQUATE WAY CAN INFLUENCE SOCIAL, PROFESSIONAL AND LEARNING RELATIONSHIPS AND SITUATIONS, SINCE EMOTIONAL EXPRESSIVENESS- BEHAVIORAL CHANGES DUE TO THE EXPERIENCE OF SOME EMOTION- INVOLVES OBSERVABLE VERBAL AND NONVERBAL BEHAVIORS. EXPRESSIVE WRITING IS PRESENTED AS AN EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR DEALING WITH THESE CHALLENGES, HELPING TO PROCESS EXPERIENCES AND EMOTIONS, MAINLY THOSE CONSIDERED AS NEGATIVE, MORE DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH. WHEN SUCH SKILLS AND EXPRESSIVITY ARE NOT EXERCISED WITH LIFE EXPERIENCES THEY CAN LEAD TO LOSSES IN VARIOUS SITUATIONS, INCLUDING ACADEMIC. INVESTING IN SOCIAL SKILLS TRAINING AND/OR WORKING ON SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SKILLS IS IMPORTANT FOR THE WELL-BEING OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, HOWEVER, IT IS NECESSARY TO PROMOTE THESE TRAININGS AT UNIVERSITY AS A WAY OF SUPPORTING STUDENTS TO OVERCOME THEIR INTERPERSONAL DIFFICULTIES. THE UNIVERSITY IS BEING CHALLENGED IN PROPOSING SOCIO-EDUCATIONAL CONTEXTS THAT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY TOOLS FOR STUDENTS TO ACQUIRE AND PRACTICE MORE SOCIALLY COMPETENT BEHAVIORS. THUS, THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS RESEARCH ARE: TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF SOCIO-EMOTIONAL SKILLS TRAINING (THSE) IN PROMOTING SOCIO-EMOTIONAL SKILLS, EMOTIONAL EXPRESSIVITY AND BETTER ACADEMIC ADAPTATION IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. THE QUESTIONS WE INTEND TO ANSWER ARE: IS IT POSSIBLE TO EXPAND THE REPERTORY OF SOCIO-EMOTIONAL SKILLS AND IMPROVE ACADEMIC ADAPTATION FROM THSE? IS IT POSSIBLE TO IMPROVE AND INCREASE THE FREQUENCY OF EMOTIONAL EXPRESSIVITY THROUGH THSE? TO PURSUE THESE OBJECTIVES, TWO STUDY WERE DESIGNED. THE FIRST VERIFYED ACADEMIC PRODUCTION ON TRAINING AND INTERVENTIONS IN SOCIO-EMOTIONAL SKILLS IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, WITH A FOCUS ON EMOTIONAL EXPRESSIVITY. THE SYSTEMATIC REVIEW WAS CARRIED OUT IN THE SCIELO, LILACS AND PUBMED DATABASES BETWEEN JANUARY AND MARCH 2022, CONSIDERED WITH DESCRIPTORS SUCH AS “SOCIO-EMOTIONAL SKILLS”, “SOCIAL SKILLS”, “SOCIO-EMOTIONAL SKILLS TRAINING”, “SENSITIVE WRITING”, “EXPRESSIVITY EMOTIONAL” AND “UNIVERSITY STUDENTS”. THE PRISMA METHOD WAS USED AND, INITIALLY, 369 PUBLICATIONS WERE IDENTIFIED, WITH ONLY SEVEN ARTICLES REMAINING AFTER APPLYING THE INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION CRITERIA. ALL THE IDENTIFIED AND SELECTED STUDIES POINT OUT TO ASSERTIVENESS AS AN EFFECTIVE BEHAVIOR FOR EXPRESSING EMOTIONS AND INDICATED TRAINING AS A CRUCIAL STRATEGY FOR ACQUISITION OF THIS SKILL. THE SECOND OBJECTIVE WAS EVALUATING A THSE USING EXPRESSIVE WRITING AS A MECHANISM FOR EXPRESSING FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS ASSUMPTION THAT IT WOULD HAVE EFFECTS IN PROMOTING SOCIAL SKILLS AND BETTER ACADEMIC ADAPTATION IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF 18 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS (PSYCHOLOGY, PHYSIOTHERAPY AND NURSING) DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS (QUASI EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPARISON). THSE WAS EFFECTIVE IN IMPROVING SOCIAL SKILLS, EMOTIONAL EXPRESSIVITY AND ACADEMIC ADAPTATION ONLY IN SOME OF THE PARTICIPANTS. THERE WERE NO DIFFERENCES IN THE PRE- AND POST-TESTS IN THE COMPARISON GROUP. THE SMALL SAMPLE AND THE LACK OF SELECTION BY CLINICAL CRITERIA APPEAR AS LIMITATIONS OF THIS STUDY. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS RESEARCH CONTRIBUTED TO EVIDENCE THE RELEVANCE OF EMOTIONAL EXPRESSIVITY FOR DEALING WITH INTERPERSONAL SITUATIONS AND FOR BETTER ADAPTATION AT THE UNIVERSITY.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY IS PART OF THE THIRD WAVE OF DATA COLLECTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL PROJECT “CHILDREN’S WORLDS” (CHILDREN’S WORLDS, THE INTERNATIONAL SURVEY OF CHILDREN’S WELL[1]BEING – ISCWEB). THIS THESIS SEEKS TO UNDERSTAND THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN CHILD SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING (SWB), PEER RELATIONSHIPS AND RESILIENCE PROCESSES IN CHILDREN, THROUGH FOUR STUDIES: AN INTEGRATIVE LITERATURE REVIEW, TWO QUANTITATIVE AND ONE QUALITATIVE. IN THE FIRST STUDY WE SEEKED TO INVESTIGATE HOW ARTICLES ADDRESSING CHILDREN'S BENEFITS, PUBLISHED IN ENGLISH AND PORTUGUESE, FROM 2014 TO 2020, ASSOCIATE THESE THEMES. THE BASES USED WERE PUBMED, PSYCINFO, SCIELO, SCOPUS AND 14 STUDIES WERE SELECTED. THE POTENTIAL OF POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PEERS IN CHILDHOOD WAS HIGHLIGHTED AS PREDICTORS OF BOTH GOODNESS AND RESILIENCE. THE SECOND STUDY WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF VERIFYING THE PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF BES SCALES – CW-SWBS, CW[1]DBSWBS AND OLS – CONSIDERING THE TYPE OF SCHOOL, GENDER, AGE AND REGION IN WHICH THE CHILDREN WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE RESEARCH CHILDREN'S WORLDS (ISCWEB) IN BRAZIL. 2,676 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED BETWEEN THREE DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS (EIGHT, 10 AND 12 YEARS OLD), 54.05% GIRLS, AND 70.74% ENROLLED IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE INSTRUMENTS PRESENT ADEQUATE PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES AND ALSO SHOW EVIDENCE OF CONVERGENT VALIDITY AND PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THE USE OF THESE INSTRUMENTS IN BRAZIL. THE THIRD STUDY SEEKED TO ANALYZE CHILDREN'S GOODNESS AND THE PROTECTIVE ROLE OF CONTEXTUAL FACTORS (TYPE OF SCHOOL, SATISFACTION WITH FRIENDS, WITH SCHOOL AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD), AS WELL AS THE INFLUENCE OF INDIVIDUAL ASPECTS (SEX AND AGE) IN FACE OF VICTIMIZATION BETWEEN PAIRS. 325 STUDENTS AGED 10 TO 12 FROM PUBLIC (83%) AND PRIVATE (17%) SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF RJ PARTICIPATED, RESPONDING TO A SELF-APPLICABLE QUESTIONNAIRE CONTAINING SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONS AND PSYCHOMETRIC SCALES THAT WERE PART OF CHILDREN'S WORLDS. A HIERARCHICAL MULTIPLE REGRESSION WAS USED TO ANALYZE THE ROLE OF PEER VICTIMIZATION ALONG WITH INDIVIDUAL AND CONTEXTUAL FACTORS IN THE VARIABILITY OF CW-SWBS SCORES. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT POSITIVE CONTEXTUAL FACTORS REDUCE THE CONSEQUENCES OF VICTIMIZATION. THE MOST IMPORTANT EFFECT WAS SATISFACTION WITH FRIENDS (Β =0.32; P (Β =0.32; P<0.001). FINALLY, THE FOURTH AND FINAL STUDY HAD THE OBJECTIVE OF INVESTIGATING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHILDREN'S PERCEPTIONS AND FEELINGS ABOUT THEIR PEERS AND THEIR BENEFITS IN THE SCHOOL CONTEXT USING FOCUS GROUP METHODOLOGY, 17 CHILDREN (10-13 YEARS) PARTICIPATED, NINE CHILDREN ENROLLED IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL AND EIGHT CHILDREN FROM A PRIVATE SCHOOL, BOTH LOCATED IN SÃO GONÇALO, RJ. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT MEANINGFUL FRIENDSHIPS ARE PROMOTER OF WELL-BEING, SATISFACTION WITH RELATIONSHIPS AND POSITIVE AFFECT AND WERE UNDERSTOOD AS ESSENTIAL FROM THE PERSPECTIVES OF CHILDREN, ON THE OTHER HAND, RELATIONSHIPS THAT INVOLVED THREATS, AGGRESSION, MISTREATMENT, DISLOYALTY, BULLYING AND PRECAUTION. CONCEPT THEY NEGATIVELY INFLUENCED CHILDHOOD. THE RESULTS OF THE FOUR STUDIES SUPPORT THE INTERDEPENDENCE OF POSITIVE INDIVIDUAL AND CONTEXTUAL FACTORS TO PROMOTE CHILDHOOD'S GOODNESS AND ACTIVATE RESILIENCE PROCESSES IN ADDITION, THEY HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHOOL AS A CONTEXT OF INTERVENTION TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF CHILDHOOD. S PEER RELATIONSHIPS THROUGHOUT SCHOOL LIFE. IN THE FINAL CONSIDERATIONS, THE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS OBTAINED ARE DISCUSSED WITH THE VIEW OF PROVIDING SUBSIDY FOR SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL POLICIES.

ABSTRACT
BRAZIL HAS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF GRADUATE STUDENTS WHO WORK ALONG WITH THEIR STUDIES. THIS DUPLICITY OF ROLES IS A CHARACTERISTICS THAT CAN INFLUENCE GOOD USE OF THE COURSE AND ALSO THE PROFESSIONAL AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. IN THIS SENSE, THE PRESENT DISSERTATION AIMED TO COMPARE VARIABLES OF CAREER ADAPTABILITY AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WHO WORK AND DON'T WORK AND TEST A MODEL IN WHICH CAREER DEVELOPMENT VARIABLES AFFECT THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, HAVING THE ADAPTABILITY OF EIRA AS MEDIATOR. THE DISSERTATION WAS ORGANIZED INTO TWO QUANTITATIVE STUDIES, BOTH USING INSTRUMENTS THAT PRESENTED EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY IN BRAZILIAN SAMPLES. THE FIRST STUDY COMPARED THE AVERAGE SCORES OF WORKING AND NON-WORKING UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN THE VARIABLES OF PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND CAREER ADAPTABILITY. THE SAMPLE OF THIS STUDY WAS 750 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, COMING FROM NINE PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS, 405 OF THEM WORKING AND/OR INTERNSHIP AND STUDY AND THE OTHER 345 HAD NEVER HAD WORK EXPERIENCE. FROM THE PERFORMANCE OF T-TESTS, WITH MEASUREMENT OF THE EFFECT SIZE BY COHEN'S D, THE RESULTS OF STUDY 1 SHOWED STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES WITH EXPRESSIVE EFFECT SIZE IN THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. Those who have never worked realized a greater professional development than those who work, which may be associated with both the difficulty of university students workers to dedicate themselves to their studies, as to an idealized/romanticized view of the world of work by those who never never THEY WORKED. REGARDING CAREER ADAPTABILITY, NO RELEVANT DIFFERENCES WERE FOUND BETWEEN THESE TWO GROUPS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. THE SECOND STUDY, IN TURN, TESTED A MODEL IN WHICH DIMENSIONS OF CAREER DEVELOPMENT PREDICT THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, WITH THIS RELATIONSHIP BEING MEDIATED BY CAREER ADAPTABILITY. THE SAMPLE OF STUDY 2 WAS 1,202 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, FROM 18 PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS, THE MAJORITY (63.6%) OF WOMEN. FROM CARRYING OUT A PATH ANALYSIS, WE CONCLUDED THAT PROFESSIONAL SELF-EFFICACY, CAREER DECISION, CAREER IDENTITY AND EXTENDED EXPLORATION BEHAVIORS POSITIVELY AFFECT THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. WE ALSO IDENTIFIED THAT CAREER ADAPTABILITY PARTIALLY MEDIATED THESE RELATIONSHIPS. THE HYPOTHESIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE LOCUS OF CONTROL ON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WAS THE ONLY HYPOTHESIS THAT WAS NOT CORROBORATED. THE TWO STUDIES CARRIED OUT ALLOWED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO COME FROM PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS. SO, ON THE ONE HAND, WE OBSERVE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THOSE WHO HAVE OR DO NOT HAVE WORK EXPERIENCE. ON THE OTHER HAND, WE IDENTIFY PREDICTOR AND MEDIATOR VARIABLES OF THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THIS TARGET AUDIENCE. WE CONSIDER THAT THIS DISSERTATION HAS POTENTIAL TO CONTRIBUTE TO INITIATING AND IMPROVING PUBLIC AND INSTITUTIONAL POLICIES AimED AT THE PROFESSIONAL AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY PUBLIC. PROFESSIONAL AND CAREER ADVISORS CAN ALSO BENEFIT FROM THE RESULTS FOUND BY USING THE FINDINGS IN CAREER COUNSELING PROCESSES FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.

ABSTRACT
PANDEMICS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES ARE SIMILAR TO OTHER FORMS OF DISASTERS, AS THEY AFFECT MULTIPLE AREAS OF LIFE IN SOCIETY, JUST AS IN NATURAL DISASTERS. THIS DISSERTATION PRESENTS TWO STUDIES WITH THE OBJECTIVES OF STUDYING AND IDENTIFYING COMMUNITY RESILIENCE PROCESSES IN PANDEMIC SITUATIONS IN COMMUNITIES AND UNDERSTANDING THE EXPERIENCES OF SOCIAL ACTORS FACING THIS PHENOMENON. THE FIRST STUDY AIMED TO IDENTIFY CONCEPTUAL, METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS AND THE APPLICABILITY OF THE COMMUNITY RESILIENCE CONSTRUCTION IN PANDEMIC AND EPIDEMIC SITUATIONS, AS WELL AS SHOWING THE RESULTS OBTAINED IN RESEARCH CARRIED OUT TO DATE. AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW USING THE DATABASES OF THE VHL, PUBMED, SCIELO, PSYCNETE. IT WAS IDENTIFIED THAT THE CENTRAL THEME OF THE MOST OF THE SELECTED ARTICLES RELATED TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. TWO RESEARCHERS, ONE SOUTH AMERICAN AND THE OTHER NORTH AMERICAN, ARE DRIVERS OF DEFINITIONS THAT DEMONSTRATE THE CONCEPTUAL PILLARS OF COMMUNITY RESILIENCE. IN THE ARTICLES ANALYZED IN THE REVIEW, THE ELEMENTS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO COMMUNITIES DEALING WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF COVID-19 WERE: THE PERFORMANCE OF LOCAL LEADERSHIP, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION WITH QUALITY INFORMATION. THE SECOND STUDY WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF INVESTIGATING THE PHENOMENON OF COMMUNITY RESILIENCE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC SITUATION, AS WELL AS UNDERSTANDING THE EXPERIENCES OF SOCIAL ACTORS RESIDENTS OF A COMMUNITY IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO. ECOLOGICAL INSERTION FOR AROUND 20 HOURS WITH SYSTEMATIC NATURALISTIC OBSERVATIONS, FIELD DIARY RECORDING AND SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS WITH SEVEN PARTICIPANTS RESIDING IN A LOW-INCOME COMMUNITY IN RJ, COMPOSED THE METHODOLOGICAL DESIGN OF THE RESEARCH. FOR DATA ANALYSIS, THE PRINCIPLES OF GROUNDED THEORY WERE USED, WHICH HIGHLIGHTED TWO PRIMORDIAL AXES: (I) SOCIAL ACTORS' FEELINGS AND PERCEPTIONS ABOUT THE PANDEMIC: (II) COMMON COPING STRATEGIES DURING THE PANDEMIC. SOLIDARITY WAS IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF THE ELEMENTS THAT MOST CONTRIBUTED TO SOCIAL ACTORS ABLE TO DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF COVID 19. THE DISSERTATION HAS METHODOLOGICAL AND CONCEPTUAL CONTRIBUTIONS, SINCE THE FIRST STUDY GATHERED INFORMATION THAT ADJUSTED AND DETERMINED THE M SECOND STUDY METHOD. IT IS HOPEFUL THAT REFLECTIONS ON COMMUNITY RESILIENCE IN A PANDEMIC SITUATION CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW RESEARCH IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS. IN ADDITION, IT IS EXPECTED TO ASSIST IN THE CREATION OF PUBLIC POLICIES FOCUSED ON COMMUNITIES EXPERIENCING SITUATIONS OF SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL VULNERABILITY.

ABSTRACT
IN RECENT YEARS, ADVANCES HAVE OCCURRED REGARDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR MORE ACTIVE PARTICIPATION BY WOMEN BOTH IN THE EDUCATIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL SPHERES. DESPITE THIS, DISCREPANIES STILL PERSIST IN SPACES AED AT WOMEN AND MEN. WHEN OTHER SOCIAL MARKERS OF DIFFERENCE ARE ADDED, SUCH AS RACE AND SOCIAL CLASS, THE GAPS BECOME MORE EVIDENT. IN THIS CONTEXT, BLACK OR BROWN AND POOR WOMEN USUALLY SUFFER FROM THE PERVERSE EFFECTS OF STRUCTURAL RACISM. THUS, YOUR CAREER INTERESTS AND YOUR PROFESSIONAL ASPIRATIONS MAY BE DISLEGITIMATE, SINCE YOUR OWN ABILITIES TO PERFORM SOME PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES ARE QUESTIONED. THE GENERAL OBJECTIVE PROPOSED FOR THE THESIS WAS TO IDENTIFY VARIABLES THAT POSITIVELY OR NEGATIVELY INFLUENCE THE PROFESSIONAL TRAJECTORY OF WOMEN AND THEIR SEARCH FOR LEADERSHIP POSITIONS, IN LIGHT OF SOME SOCIAL MARKERS OF DIFFERENCE. IN THIS WAY, FOUR STUDIES WERE CONDUCTED. FIRST, WE SEEK EVIDENCE OF THE VALIDITY OF THE SCALE OF BARRIERS AND FACILITATORS OF FEMALE LEADERSHIP. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF 627 BRAZILIAN WORKERS, FROM DIFFERENT PROFESSIONS. EXPLORATORY AND CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYZES SUPPORTED THE THEORETICALLY PREDICTED STRUCTURE AND THE INSTRUMENT PRESENTED RELATIONSHIPS WITH MEASURES OF BENEVOLENT SEXISM AND SELF-ESTEEM. IN THE SECOND STUDY, WE GATHERED INITIAL EVIDENCE OF THE VALIDITY OF INTERNAL STRUCTURE AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH EXTERNAL VARIABLES OF THE SCALE OF CAREER ASPIRATION-REVISED. THE SAMPLE INCLUDED 744 BRAZILIAN WORKERS, WHO COME FROM DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE COUNTRY. GOOD FIT INDEXES WERE IDENTIFIED FOR THE THREE CORRELATED FACTOR MODEL, AS WELL AS THE INVARIANCE OF THE MEASUREMENT WITH REGARD TO EDUCATION, MARITAL STATUS, CAREER STAGE AND CONTACT WITH FEMALE LEADERSHIP MODELS. POSITIVE CORRELATIONS WERE ALSO FOUND WITH SELF-EFFICACY AND PERCEIVED WORK DEMANDS. IN THE THIRD STUDY, WE CONDUCTED A LONGITUDINAL INVESTIGATION, WITH THREE WAVES OF DATA COLLECTION. IN IT, WE TESTED TWO THEORETICAL MODELS INVOLVING CONTEXTUAL AND INDIVIDUAL VARIABLES THAT INFLUENCE WOMEN’S PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE SAMPLE GATHERED 292 WORKERS, FROM DIFFERENT PROFESSIONAL FIELDS. WE IDENTIFY THAT GENDER STEREOTYPES AND DISCRIMINATION HAVE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED THEIR SELF-ESTEEM, WHICH IN TURN DECREASES THEIR ENGAGEMENT IN WORK. FURTHERMORE, WORK ENGAGEMENT MEDIATED THE RELATIONSHIP OF BOTH SELF-ESTEEM AND SELF-EFFICACY WITH PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. IN THE FOURTH AND FINAL STUDY, WE USED QUALITATIVE METHODOLOGY TO DISCUSS THE CROSSINGS OF GENDER, RACE AND SOCIAL CLASS IN THE TRAJECTORY OF BLACK OR BROWN WOMEN WHO WERE THE FIRST GENERATION OF THEIR FAMILIES IN HIGHER EDUCATION. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF 24 WOMEN WHO RESID IN DIFFERENT BRAZILIAN REGIONS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE RACIAL MICROVIOLENCE SUFFERED IS DISTRIBUTED AT MACRO LEVELS – SUCH AS RACIAL STEREOTYPES; MESO – AS THE SYSTEMATIC DISCRIMINATION OF THEIR BODIES; AND MICRO – AS THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THEIR IDENTITIES. IN THE FINAL CONSIDERATIONS, THE THEORETICAL, METHODOLOGICAL AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE FOUR STUDY DEVELOPED WERE DISCUSSED.

ABSTRACT
MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS IS THE METALINGUISTIC ABILITY RESPONSIBLE FOR RECOGNITION, REFLECTION, MANIPULATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE SMALLEST PARTS OF WORDS WITH MEANING, THE MORPHEMES. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PRESENT RESEARCH WAS TO VERIFY THE EFFECTS OF AN INTERVENTION PROGRAM ON MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS ON READING AND SPELLING IN SCHOOLCHILDREN. THE SAMPLE WAS CONSISTED OF 47 STUDENTS FROM TWO 4TH YEAR CLASSES OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION AT A PUBLIC SCHOOL. THE STUDENTS WERE DIVIDED INTO A CONTROL AND EXPERIMENTAL GROUP, IN WHICH THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP WAS SUBJECTED TO A 12-SESSION INTERVENTION PROGRAM IN MORPHOLOGICAL PROCESSING AND THE CONTROL GROUP ATTENDED CLASS ACTIVITIES REGULARLY, WITHOUT ANY OTHER EXTERNAL INTERVENTION. ALL WERE TESTED ON READING, WRITING AND MORPHOLOGY MEASURES PRE AND POST-INTERVENTION. AS RESULTS, WE OBSERVED GAINS IN THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP AT THE DETRIMENT OF CONTROL IN WRITING WORDS WITH MORPHOLOGICAL RULES AND IN MORPHOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE TASKS, SUGGESTING SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS OF THE INTERVENTION. THE FINDINGS SUPPORT IMPORTANT PEDAGOGICAL IMPLICATIONS AND IN THE FIELD OF RESEARCH IN THE AREA.

ABSTRACT
THE WORK-FAMILY INTERFACE CONSISTS OF THE COMBINATION OF TASKS AND CHARACTERISTICS RELATED TO THE WORK CONTEXT AND ACTIVITIES AND ATTRIBUTES SURROUNDED BY THE FAMILY ENVIRONMENT. STUDIES RELATED TO THIS TOPIC HAVE GAINED MORE AND MORE NOTORITY AS NEW ADVANCES IN SOCIETY, ACCOMPANIED BY RECENT FAMILY SETTINGS, HAVE MADE IT DIFFICULT TO CONCILIATE WORK AND PERSONAL ACTIVITIES. A MODEL DEVELOPED TO INVESTIGATE THE WORK-FAMILY INTERFACE IS THE WORK-FAMILY RESOURCES MODEL, ACCORDING TO WHICH WORK RESOURCES AND DEMANDS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH PERSONAL RESOURCES, WHICH IMPACT ON FAMILY RESULTS. BASED ON THIS THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK, THIS DISSERTATION TESTED THE RELATIONSHIP OF WORK AND FAMILY, THROUGH DIFFERENT STUDIES. CONSIDERING THAT THE SUPERVISOR'S SUPPORTIVE BEHAVIOR TO THE FAMILY, USED AS ONE OF THE WORK RESOURCES, HAS NOT YET A MEASURE WITH EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT, THE FIRST STUDY AIMED TO ADAPT AND GATHER EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF THE COMPREHENSIVE AND REDUCED VERSIONS OF THE MEASUREMENT OF BEHAVIOR OF THE FAMILY SUPPORT SUPERVISOR. 503 WORKERS, OF BOTH SEXES, PARTICIPATED IN THIS RESEARCH. CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS SHOWED THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE VERSION WAS COMPOSED OF 14 ITEMS, DIVIDED INTO FOUR FIRST ORDER FACTORS (EMOTIONAL, INSTRUMENTAL, ROLE MODELING AND CREATIVE MANAGEMENT) AND ONE SECOND ORDER FACTOR. THE UNI-FACTORIAL REDUCED VERSION, IN TURN, IS COMPOSED OF FOUR ITEMS. BOTH VERSIONS HAD GOOD INTERNAL CONSISTENCY INDEX. THE INSTRUMENTS CORRELATED POSITIVELY WITH WORK-FAMILY ENRICHMENT, SUPERVISOR SUPPORT AND JOB SATISFACTION AND NEGATIVELY WITH WORK-FAMILY CONFLICT AND TURNOVER INTENTION. THE SECOND STUDY, IN TURN, SEEKED TO ANALYZE THE MEDIATION OF GENERALIZED SELF-EFFICACY IN THE RELATION OF THE SUPERVISOR'S SUPPORTIVE BEHAVIOR TO THE FAMILY AND THE PERCEIVED DEMAND AT WORK WITH FLOURISHING IN THE FAMILY. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF 493 BRAZILIAN WORKERS, OF BOTH SEXES. THE RESULTS OF STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING EVIDENCED A POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP OF WORK RESOURCES AND A NEGATIVE RELATIONSHIP OF WORK DEMAND WITH FLOURISHING IN THE FAMILY. IN ADDITION, THEY DEMONSTRATED THE MEDIATING ROLE OF GENERALIZED SELF-EFFICACY IN THESE RELATIONSHIPS. FINALLY, THE THIRD STUDY AIMED TO ANALYZE THE RELATIONSHIP OF TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND WORK OVERLOAD WITH FLOWERING IN THE FAMILY, AS WELL AS THE MEDIATING ROLE OF GENERALIZED SELF-EFFICACY IN SUCH RELATIONSHIPS. THE SAMPLE WAS THE SAME AS THE SECOND STUDY AND THE DATA OBTAINED SHOWED THAT TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP PRESENTS A POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH FLOURISHING IN THE FAMILY, WHILE WITH OVERLOAD AT WORK, THE ASSOCIATION WAS NEGATIVE. SUCH RELATIONSHIPS WERE MEDIATED BY GENERALIZED SELF-EFFICACY. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE PRESENT DISSERTATION MAKES THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS WITH REGARD TO THE WORK-FAMILY INTERFACE, SINCE IT MADE A NEW INSTRUMENT AVAILABLE TO BRAZILIAN RESEARCHERS, IT TESTED A RESEARCH MODEL THAT INCLUDES BOTH THE PROCESS OF TRAVEL ENRICHMENT BLACK- FAMILY, AS WELL AS THE WORK-FAMILY CONFLICT PROCESS, ANALYZED THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN VARIABLES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY RELATED IN A SINGLE MODEL AND HAS CONTRIBUTED TO ORGANIZATIONS HAVING THE POSSIBILITY OF PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTING STRATEGIES THAT CAN HELP COMPANY REVIEW AND BETTER IDENTIFY THE FACTORS CAPABLE OF RAISING THE LEVELS OF GENERAL SELF-EFFICACY AND, CONSEQUENTLY, THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF EMPLOYEES.

ABSTRACT
SOCIAL INTERACTIONS MEDIATED BY TECHNOLOGICAL MEANS HAVE BECOME A CONSTANT, REPLACING PRESENTIAL COMMUNICATION IN REAL TIME – ESPECIALLY IN DAYS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND THE NEED FOR SOCIAL ISOLATION. ALTHOUGH INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES PROVIDE THE POSSIBILITY OF FLEXIBILIZING WORKING CONDITIONS, SUCH CONSTANT ACCESSIBILITY MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR EMPLOYEES TO DISCONNECT FROM THEIR WORK TASKS, EVEN OUTSIDE THEIR WORKING HOURS. TELEPRESSURE REPRESENTS THIS MENTAL STATE THAT ENCOURAGES CONSTANT CONNECTION WITH WORK, TRANSLATED BY THE COMBINATION OF A STRONG DESIRE TO RESPOND TO WORK-RELATED MESSAGES WITH A CONCERN TO OBTAIN QUICK RESPONSES. BASED ON SEVERAL RESEARCH THAT WAS BASED ON THE JOB DEMANDS AND RESOURCES MODEL - JD-R, THIS WAS APPLIED TO TEST THE MODERATOR ROLE OF TELEPRESSURE AT WORK IN THE RELATIONSHIP OF SUPERVISOR SUPPORT WITH THE GOOD [1]WORK STAFF, MEASURED BY PRODUCTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL ENERGY. TO SUCH AN INTENT, TWO STUDY WERE CARRIED OUT, AT TWO INTERVAL TIMES. THE FIRST STUDY WAS OF A PSYCHOMETRIC ORDER WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF ANALYZING THE TOPIC, BY ADAPTING AND GATHERING VALIDITY EVIDENCE FOR THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT OF THE TELEPRESSURE SCALE AT WORK, CONSIDERING THE LACK OF PREVIOUS ADAPTATIONS. THE SAMPLE COLLECTED WAS CONSISTED OF 567 BRAZILIAN WORKERS, OF BOTH SEXES AND FROM DIFFERENT PROFESSIONS. DATA ANALYSIS WAS CARRIED OUT BY CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS, THROUGH STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING, IN WHICH THE STRUCTURE OF THE INSTRUMENT ON SCREEN WERE TESTED, AS WELL AS ITS RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER EXTERNAL VARIABLES: ENGAGEMENT IN WORK, ADDICTION TO WORK, SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS, PUBLIC ENCE AND TECHNOLOGICAL DEMAND. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE TELEPRESSURE AT WORK SCALE PRESENTED INITIAL EVIDENCE OF THE VALIDITY OF INTERNAL STRUCTURE AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH EXTERNAL VARIABLES IN THE BRAZILIAN SAMPLE COLLECTED. THE SECOND STUDY, IN TURN, SEEKED TO TEST THE RELATIONSHIP OF SUPERVISOR SUPPORT WITH PRODUCTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL ENERGY AND THE MODERATION OF TELEPRESSURE AT WORK IN SUCH RELATIONSHIPS. TO ACHIEVE THE PROPOSED OBJECTIVE, THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF 489 BRAZILIAN WORKERS. THE FINDINGS FROM STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING SHOWED THAT SUPERVISOR SUPPORT PRESENTS POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH PRODUCTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL ENERGY AND THAT TELEPRESSURE AT WORK ACCENTUNATES THESE RELATIONSHIPS. THEREFORE, THE PRESENT STUDY BROUGHT RELEVANT THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE AREA OF ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY. THUS, THE TELEPRESSURE AT WORK SCALE CAN BE CONSIDERED AS AN APPROPRIATE MEASURE FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF PEOPLE TELEPRESSED AT WORK, WHICH IS RECOMMENDED FOR ITS USE IN FUTURE RESEARCH AND DIAGNOSTIC SITUATIONS, IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT. IN ADDITION, THE DISSERTATION ALLOWED ADVANCE IN KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF SUPERVISOR SUPPORT WITH WORK WELL-BEING AND THE MODERATOR ROLE OF TELEPRESSURE AT WORK.OF TELEPRESSURE AT WORK.

ABSTRACT
ACCORDING TO THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS REPRESENT AN IMPORTANT GLOBAL PUBIC HEALTH PROBLEM, RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF 1.35 MILLION PEOPLE ANNUALLY AND TENS OF MILLION INJURIES, OFTEN RESULTING FROM PERMANENT AND INCA INJURIES PATIENTS. BASED ON THIS SCENARIO AND BY CARRYING OUT FOUR STUDIES, THIS THESIS SEEKED TO UNDERSTAND RESILIENCE PROCESSES IN VICTIMS (PEOPLE WITH ACQUIRED DISABILITIES), THEIR FAMILIES AND PROFESSIONALS WHO EXPERIENCE POST-TRAFFIC ACCIDENT CONTEXTS, AS WELL AS INVESTIGATED AND ANALYZED THE P. APPEAL OF NETWORKS OF SUPPORT, PROTECTION AND PROXIMAL AND DISTAL CARE PROVIDED IN THESE DEVELOPMENTAL MICROSYSTEMS. THE FIRST STUDY WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF PRESENTING AN INTEGRATIVE LITERATURE REVIEW WITH THE INTENTION OF ANALYZING THE STATE OF THE ART OF PUBLISHED RESEARCH ON INDIVIDUAL/FAMILY RESILIENCE PROCESSES AND SUPPORT NETWORKS FOR TRAFFIC ACCIDENT VICTIMS IN THE POST-ACCCIDENT SITUATION. THE BASES USED WERE PSYCINFO, PUBMED, WEB OF SCIENCE AND SCIELO WITH THE DESCRIPTORS: RESILIENCE; TRAFFIC-ACCIDENTS; SUPPORT AND FAMILY RESILIENCE NETWORKS. THE FINDINGS DEMONSTRATED A SCARCITY OF STUDIES THAT SIMULTANEOUSLY RELATE: RESILIENCE, TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS, SUPPORT NETWORKS AND FAMILY RESILIENCE. FURTHERMORE, IT IDENTIFIED THAT A LARGE PART OF THE RESEARCH ON TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS HAD A FOCUS ON PREVENTION. THE SECOND STUDY WAS THE PURPOSE OF ANALYZING AN INSTITUTION THAT DEVELOPS AN INTEGRATED REHABILITATION PROGRAM FOR PEOPLE WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES AND VICTIMS OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS. ECOLOGICAL INSERTION WAS USED AS A CENTRAL METHODOLOGICAL RESOURCE IN A 45-HOUR PRESENTIAL QUALITATIVE DESIGN. THE PRINCIPLES OF GROUNDED THEORY GUIDED THE ANALYSIS OF THE MATERIAL TRANSCRIBED IN A FIELD DIARY AND INFORMAL INTERVIEWS CARRIED OUT IN A NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. THE RESULTS IDENTIFIED THREE AXES OF CATEGORIES THAT DEMONSTRATED CONSISTENCY WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS AND INDICATORS OF POSITIVE INSTITUTIONS SUCH AS: EMPOWERMENT, AUTONOMY, PHYSICAL, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE THIRD STUDY WAS TO INVESTIGATE ELEMENTS AND DIMENSIONS OF PROFESSIONAL RESILIENCE IN WORKERS AT AN INTEGRATED REHABILITATION INSTITUTION THAT CARE FOR PEOPLE WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES, IN THE CONTEXT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. USING A QUALITATIVE DESIGN, 3 PROFESSIONALS FROM THE MULTI-PROFESSIONAL TEAM PARTICIPATED IN THE STUDY, SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS AND ANALYSIS WERE CARRIED OUT FROM GROUNDED THEORY. THE CATEGORIES TOGETHER DEMONSTRATED ELEMENTS THAT EVIDENCE PROFESSIONAL RESILIENCE PROCESSES BASED ON THE RESETTING AND TRANSFORMATIONS OF PERCEPTIONS, FEELINGS AND PRACTICES OF WORKERS IN THE RISK CONTEXT CAUSED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. FINALLY, THE FOURTH STUDY AIMED TO INVESTIGATE RESILIENCE PROCESSES IN VICTIMS AND FAMILIES WHO FACED THE TRAUMA OF HAVING THEIR LIVES CHANGED AND TRANSFORMED BY A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF SEVEN PEOPLE DIVIDED INTO THREE FAMILIES. THE INSTRUMENT USED WAS THE REFLECTIVE INTERVIEW AND THE DATA WERE ANALYZED USING GROUNDED THEORY. THE RESULTS DEMONSTRATED THAT THE AXES AND CATEGORIES OF ANALYSIS IDENTIFIED THAT THE RELATIONAL STRENGTH RECEIVED AND PERCEIVED ENHANCES PROXIMAL AND DISTAL AFFECTIVE BONDS WHICH STAND OUT AS PROTECTIVE FACTORS CAPABLE OF PROVIDING POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT AND RESILIENCE PROCESSES. THE THESIS PRESENTS THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL CONTRIBUTIONS BY PROVIDING A SET OF SCIENTIFIC MATERIAL IDENTIFIED AS SCARCE IN LITERATURE REVIEWS RELATED TO THE RESEARCH TOPIC AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS BY PROVIDING SUBSIDIES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF PUBLIC POLICIES NOT ONLY TO THE VICTIMS AND FAMILIES WHO HAD THEIR LIVES CHANGED AS A RESULT TRAFFIC ACCIDENT, BUT ALSO TO PREPARE AND TRAIN PROFESSIONALS WHO WORK WITH POPULATIONS IN SUFFERING SITUATIONS RESULTING FROM THIS ADVERSITY.

ABSTRACT
THIS PROJECT'S OBJECTIVE IS TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER FAMILY LITERACY PRACTICES IN THE CONTEXT OF REMOTE EDUCATION, RESULTING FROM THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, WITH CHILDREN IN THE 1ST AND 2ND YEARS OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, INFLUENCE SCHOOL PERFORMANCE, MAINLY WITH REGARD TO READING PERFORMANCE AND THESE CHILDREN’S WRITING. THE STUDY WAS COMPOSED OF A SAMPLE OF 32 CHILDREN AND THEIR RESPECTIVE FAMILIES. DATA WAS COLLECTED THROUGH VIRTUAL QUESTIONNAIRES, ADMINISTERED WITH RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE AND THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF EACH STUDENT WAS ALSO ANALYZED, THROUGH GRADES FROM THE BEGINNING AND END QUARTER OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. IN ADDITION, WORD READING AND PSEUDOWORDS WERE EVALUATED USING THE VERSION OF THE ANELE INSTRUMENT FOR THIS AGE GROUP AND ALSO WRITING WORDS WITH TDE. THE APPLICATIONS WERE ADAPTED FOR REMOTE LEARNING, BECAUSE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY SHOWED THAT FAMILY EXPERIENCES CONTRIBUTED TO CHILDREN'S PERFORMANCE, SPECIFICALLY, CHANGES IN THE ROUTINE CORRELATED NEGATIVELY WITH SCHOOL PERFORMANCE. AS IMPLICATIONS OF THE RESULTS, WE CAN SUGGEST THAT IN CRITICAL PERIODS, SUCH AS THE PANDEMIC PERIOD, PUBLIC POLICIES TO SUPPORT FAMILIES CAN CONTRIBUTE TO MINIMIZING THE LOSSES CAUSED BY SCHOOL CLOSURES.
KEYWORDS: FAMILY LITERACY, REMOTE TEACHING, SCHOOL PERFORMANCE, READING AND WRITING.

ABSTRACT
THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS AFFECTED THE LIVES OF STUDENTS AND TEACHERS AT ALL SCHOOL LEVELS. THIS DISSERTATION HAS AS A CENTRAL QUESTION, TO WHAT EXTENT DID THE EXPERIENCES EXPERIENCED DURING EMERGENCY REMOTE TEACHING IN UNDERGRADUATE COURSES DURING THE PANDEMIC PERIOD AFFECTED THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS AND TEACHERS AND GENERATED TECHNO-STRESS IN TEACHERS? THREE STUDY WERE CARRIED OUT. THE FIRST, OF A QUALITATIVE NATURE, AIMED TO UNDERSTAND AND DISCUSS THE EXPERIENCES EXPERIENCED BY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN EMERGENCY REMOTE EDUCATION DURING THE PANDEMIC. 19 INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH UNIVERSITY STUDENTS FROM DIFFERENT COURSES AND INSTITUTIONS. FROM THE DESCENDING HIERARCHICAL CLASSIFICATION ANALYSIS, TWO AXES EMERGED (ADAPTATION TO EMERGENCY REMOTE TEACHING AND COMPARISON BETWEEN REMOTE TEACHING AND PRESENTIAL TEACHING) SUBDIVITED INTO FOUR CLASSES, NAMELY: DIFFICULTIES WITH THE REMOTE TEACHING ROUTINE, CONSTRAINTS SITUATIONS, PRESENTIAL TEACHING AND LIMITS OF REMOTE TEACHING. THE NAME AND INTERPRETATION OF AXES AND CLASSES WAS DONE BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF JUDGES. THE MAJORITY OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS EVALUATED THAT REMOTE EDUCATION HAS NEGATIVELY AFFECTED THEIR ACADEMIC EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE SECOND STUDY, QUANTITATIVE IN NATURE, AIMED TO TEST THE RELATIONSHIP OF ADAPTATION TO EMERGENCY REMOTE EDUCATION AND SKILLS FOR REMOTE EDUCATION (SELF-DISCIPLINE AND TECHNOLOGICAL MASTERY) WITH THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS IN THE PAND PERIOD EMICO. 304 GRADUATE STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THIS RESEARCH. THREE SCALES WITH APPROPRIATE RELIABILITY LEVELS WERE USED, PREVIOUSLY TESTED ON NATIONAL SAMPLES, GROUPED IN AN ONLINE QUESTIONNAIRE. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT SELF-DISCIPLINE AND ADAPTATION TO REMOTE HIGHER EDUCATION (DIMENSIONS: SOCIAL, INSTITUTIONAL AND STUDY) POSITIVELY PREDICT THE PERCEPTION OF STUDENTS' PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DURING THE PANDEMIC PERIOD. THE THIRD STUDY WAS CARRIED OUT WITH UNIVERSITY TEACHERS AND WAS AIM TO TEST A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MODEL FOR UNIVERSITY TEACHERS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, WITH POSSIBLE PREDICTOR VARIABLES THE SKILLS FOR TELEWORKING AT HOME AND TECHNO-STRESS. 299 TEACHERS PARTICIPATED IN THIS STUDY, FROM VARIOUS HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS. THE ELECTRONIC COLLECTION WAS MADE WITH AN INSTRUMENT COMPOSED OF THREE SCALES WITH GOOD PSYCHOMETRIC INDICATORS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT A PART OF TEACHERS WERE AFFECTED BY TECHNO-STRESS DURING THE PANDEMIC, WITH FATIGUE BEING PREDOMINANT. HOWEVER, UNIVERSITY TEACHERS POSITIVELY EVALUATED BOTH THEIR SKILLS FOR TELEWORKING FROM HOME AND THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DURING THE PANDEMIC. IN THIS SENSE, THE THREE STUDIES THAT MAKE UP THIS DISSERTATION CONTRIBUTE TO REFLECTIONS ON EMERGENCY REMOTE TEACHING AND THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF UNIVERSITY TEACHERS AND STUDENTS IN A HEALTH CRISIS ENVIRONMENT. FOR STUDENTS WHO PERCEIVED DEFICITS IN THEIR TRAINING DUE TO REMOTE TEACHING, AWARENESS OF THESE GAPS CAN BE A STIMULUS TO SEARCH FOR IMPROVEMENT. FOR RESEARCHERS ON THE THEME THE CHALLENGE OF NEW INVESTIGATIONS ON THE EFFECT OF CONTEXTUAL VARIABLES ON THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS AND TEACHERS. INSTITUTIONS RECOMMEND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIES AimED AT THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION AND WELL-BEING AT WORK IN CRISIS SCENARIOS.

ABSTRACT
THE CONSIDERABLE INCREASE IN THE ELDERLY POPULATION PREDICTS SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE COMPOSITION OF THE WORKFORCE, REQUIRING SOCIETY AND GOVERNMENTS TO SEARCH FOR STRATEGIES TO MAKE BETTER USE OF OLDER WORKERS. ALTHOUGH THE RAPID AGING PROCESS IN BRAZIL HAS BEEN PROMINENT AT THE END OF THE LAST CENTURY, STUDIES ON THE RETIREMENT DECISION ARE STILL RARE. THIS RESEARCH WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF INVESTIGATING THE MOTIVES OF OLDER FEDERAL PUBLIC SERVANTS IN REGARDING RETIREMENT OR STAYING ON WORK. TWO STUDY WERE CARRIED OUT: STUDY ONE AIMED TO SEEK INITIAL EVIDENCE OF THE VALIDITY OF THE REDUCED VERSION OF THE SCALE OF REASONS FOR CONTINUING WORK IN RETIREMENT – EMCTA-R WITH WORKERS IN THE EDUCATION AREA, AND STUDY TWO ANALYZED THE INFLUENCE OF INDIVIDUAL VARIABLES (MICRO ) AND WORK (MESO) IN RETAINING WORKERS – WHETHER THROUGH THE OPTION OF A BRIDGE JOB, OR ANOTHER TYPE OF WORK IN RETIREMENT. BOTH STUDIES ADOPTED A QUANTITATIVE APPROACH. THE RESEARCH WAS CARRIED OUT AT A FEDERAL PUBLIC UNIVERSITY, LOCATED IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO AND INCLUDED THE PARTICIPATION OF 239 PUBLIC SERVANTS, AGE EQUAL TO OR ABOVE 50. IN THE FIRST STUDY, THE RESULTS OF CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS INDICATED THAT THE SEVEN-FACTOR MODEL (FINANCIAL SITUATION, PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, WORKING CONDITIONS, IMPORTANCE OF WORK, RELATIONSHIP AT WORK, RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ORGANIZATION AND INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT) PRESENTED EVID VALIDITY STATES OF THE EMCTA INSTRUMENT -R WITH EDUCATION WORKERS CORROBORATING INITIAL EVIDENCE PREVIOUSLY FOUND IN A SAMPLE FROM THE ENERGY SECTOR. THE SECOND STUDY HIGHLIGHTED THAT IN RELATION TO INDIVIDUAL VARIABLES (MICRO), AGE AND FINANCIAL CONDITION WERE THE PREDICTORS THAT MOST INFLUENCED THE DECISION TO CONTINUE WORKING AFTER RETIREMENT AGE, AS WELL AS THE 7 EMCTA-R FACTORS (MESO[1 ]MICRO) THEY ALSO PREDICTED THE DECISION TO POSTPONATE RETIREMENT AND CONTINUE WORKING. XIII WITH REGARD TO ORGANIZATIONAL VARIABLES (MESO), WORK FLEXIBILITY AND WORK CONTROL HAD GREATER RELEVANCE IN POSTPONING RETIREMENT. I CONCLUDE THAT IN THE ACADEMIC AREA, THIS DISSERTATION MADE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PHENOMENON OF THE RETIREMENT DECISION, WHETHER BY TESTING EVIDENCE OF THE VALIDITY OF THE EMCTA-R FOR EDUCATION WORKERS, OR BY OFFERING A PREDICTIVE MODEL, ANALYZING THE VARIABLES THAT PREDICT THE DESIRE TO REMAIN WORKING EVEN AFTER REACHING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR RETIREMENT. IN ADDITION TO THE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL EVOLUTION IN THIS TOPIC, THIS WORK PROVIDES SUBSIDIES FOR FUTURE HUMAN RESOURCES ACTIONS REGARDING CAREER OR RETIREMENT PLANNING FOR OLDER UNIVERSITY WORKERS.

ABSTRACT
SELF-ESTEEM CONSISTS OF A SET OF THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS REGARDING YOURSELF. ACADEMIC SELF-EFFICACY IS DEFINED AS AN INDIVIDUAL'S BELIEFS RELATED TO INTELLECTUAL AND LEARNING ASPECTS. THIS RESEARCH SEEKED TO IDENTIFY LEVELS OF ACADEMIC SELF-EFFICACY AND SELF-ESTEEM IN BRAZILIAN ADOLESCENTS, 14 AND 18 YEARS OLD, AND VERIFY IF THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN THESE VARIABLES, DEPENDING ON THEIR SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS. THIS IS A CROSS-CROSS-CROSS STUDY, WITH A CORRELATIONAL AND COMPARATIVE DESIGN WITH A QUANTITATIVE APPROACH. 98 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS PARTICIPATED. THROUGH THE ANALYSIS, IT WAS VERIFIED THAT THE VARIABLES GENDER, AGE, AGE GROUP DID NOT DEMONSTRATE SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE PERCEPTION OF ACADEMIC SELF-EFFICACY AND SELF-ESTEEM. THE RESULTS OF THE ANOVA DEMONSTRATED STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SOCIOECONOMIC LEVELS IN RELATION TO LEVELS OF ACADEMIC SELF-EFFICACY. COMPARISONS PLANNED WITH HOLM CORRECTION DEMONSTRATED THAT RELATIVE TO THE GROUP WITH AN INCOME OF UP TO 1 MINIMUM WAGE, THEY SHOWED LOWER LEVELS OF ACADEMIC SELF-EFFICACY THAN ADOLESCENTS WITH A FAMILY INCOME OF 1 TO 3 MINIMUM WAGES AND THAN ADOLESCENTS WITH A FAMILY INCOME OF 3 TO 6 MINIMUM WAGES. THE RESULTS REINFORCE THE NEED FOR INVESTMENTS IN STRATEGIES THAT ENHANCE ACADEMIC SELF-EFFICACY IN ADOLESCENTS.

ABSTRACT
THIS PROJECT IS PART OF THE INTERNATIONAL PROJECT TITLED “CHILDREN’S WORLDS” WHICH SEEKS TO INVESTIGATE CHILDREN’S SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING, CHILDREN’S RIGHTS AND SATISFACTION WITH THEIR LIFE CONTEXTS. THE GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO INVESTIGATE THE RELATIONSHIPS OF BULLYING AND CHILDREN'S SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING IN THE SCHOOL CONTEXT OF STUDENTS OF BOTH SEXES IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION I IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN A MUNICIPALITY IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. BIOECOLOGICAL THEORY PROVIDED THEORETICAL SUPPORT TO THE RESEARCH, WHICH WAS DIVIDED INTO TWO STUDIES, WITH QUANTITATIVE METHODOLOGICAL DESIGN. THE FIRST STUDY WAS ON THE PREVALENCE OF BULLYING IN CHARACTERISTICAL EXPRESSIONS OF THE ROLE OF VICTIM, ROLE OF AGGRESSOR AND IN PRACTICES OF PHYSICAL VIOLENCE COMPARING TWO GROUPS: STUDENTS OF BOTH SEXES, OF DIFFERENT AGES (GROUP I: 9,10 AND 11 YEARS; GROUP II: 12, 13 AND 14 YEARS OLD), AND TYPES OF SCHOOL. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF 325 STUDENTS, 177 GIRLS (54.2%) AND 148 BOYS (45.5%) COMING FROM PUBLIC (83.4%) AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS (16.6%) IN A MUNICIPALITY IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. THE INSTRUMENT USED FOR DATA COLLECTION WAS THE ILLINOIS BULLYING SCALE. DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICAL ANALYZES WERE PERFORMED (AVERAGES, STANDARD DEVIATIONS, FREQUENCIES AND PERCENTAGES) AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VARIABLES USED BY PEARSON CORRELATION. FINALLY, TO VERIFY THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TESTED GROUPS, THE STUDENT T-TEST WAS USED FOR INDEPENDENT SAMPLES. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT BOYS ARE MORE IN THE ROLE OF AGGRESSOR, AS WELL AS THEY ARE THOSE WHO PRACTICE MORE PHYSICAL VIOLENCE. IN ADDITION, AGE GROUP II IS THE AGE GROUP THAT IS MOST REVIEWED IN THE ROLE OF AGGRESSOR. REGARDING THE TYPES OF SCHOOLS, THE THREE EXPRESSIONS OF BULLYING PRACTICES ARE MOST FREQUENT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. CONSIDERING THE IMPORTANCE OF POSITIVE EXPERIENCES AND SCHOOL SATISFACTION IN STUDENTS' LIFE AND THE INFLUENCE OF SUCH ASPECTS ON CHILDREN'S SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING, THE SECOND STUDY WAS PREPARED. THIS HAD THE GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF BULLYING ON SCHOOL SATISFACTION AND SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING IN 10 AND 12 YEAR OLD CHILDREN IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN A MUNICIPALITY IN RIO DE JANEIRO. THE SAMPLE WAS THE SAME AS STUDY I. THE INSTRUMENTS USED FOR DATA COLLECTION WERE: ILLINOIS BULLYING SCALE, THE SCHOOL SATISFACTION SCALE AND CW-SWBS. CHILDREN’S WORLDS SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING SCALE. THE RESULTS SHOWED INDIRECT EFFECTS BETWEEN THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLES: ROLE OF VICTIM, ROLE OF AGGRESSOR AND PHYSICAL AGGRESSION, ALONG WITH THE MEDIATOR VARIABLE: SCHOOL SATISFACTION AND THE DEPENDENT VARIABLE: SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING WHICH WERE SIGNIFICANT. CONSIDERING THAT IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MEDIATING VARIABLE, THE EFFECTS OF THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLES ON THE DEPENDENT VARIABLES WERE REDUCED AND NO LONGER BEING SIGNIFICANT, IT CAN BE STATED THAT SCHOOL SATISFACTION FULLY MEDIATED THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN BULLYING AND SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING. THUS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT BULLYING IS A MULTI-FACETED PHENOMENON AND THAT ITS CONSEQUENCES ARE HARMFUL TO THE SCHOOL CLIMATE AND SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING, AS IT IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT HELP IN THE EMOTIONAL AND INTERPERSONAL DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS.

ABSTRACT
THE STUDENT HOUSING PROGRAM AIMS TO PROMOTE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENCE FOR STUDENTS IN HIGHER EDUCATION AND HAS THE OBJECTIVES OF GUARANTEING EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS IN SITUATIONS OF SOCIOECONOMIC VULNERABILITY, CONTRIBUTING TO IMPROVING ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND ACTING IN PREVENTION UNIVERSITY RETENTION AND EVASION SITUATIONS . THE GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THE THESIS WAS TO IDENTIFY ELEMENTS AND DIMENSIONS OF STUDENT HOUSING AS A CONTEXT PROMOTING ACADEMIC, PERSONAL AND SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT IN GUARANTEING THE PERMANENCE OF STUDENTS RESIDING AT THE UNIVERSITY AND IT WAS DEVELOPED IN FOUR STUDY. STUDY 1 WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF EVALUATING THE EVOLUTION OF ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, COMPARING TWO GROUPS: HOUSING RESIDENTS AND NON-RESIDENTS. 553 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED: THE RESIDENT GROUP WITH 283 STUDENTS (59.02% WOMEN), AND THE CONTROL GROUP WITH 312 STUDENTS (60.62% WOMEN). THE DATA WERE ANALYZED BY MULTI-LEVEL REGRESSIONS FOR LONGITUDINAL DATA. STUDY 2 HAD THE OBJECTIVES OF INVESTIGATING THE SUPPORT NETWORK OF RESIDENTS IN STUDENT HOUSING WITH REGARD TO INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS, QUALITY OF TIES AND THE FUNCTION OF THE SUPPORT NETWORK, AND ANALYZING PERCEPTIONS OF SOCIAL SUPPORT AND ITS INFLUENCE ON STAYING AT UNIVERSITY. 20 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS PARTICIPATED (50% WOMEN), AGED BETWEEN 19 AND 37 YEARS OLD (M = 28, SD = 12.73). DATA WAS COLLECTED USING THE FIVE FIELD MAP, AND SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS. STUDY 3 HAD THE OBJECTIVES OF EVALUATING THE LEVEL OF STRESS AND FEELINGS PERCEIVED DURING THE PANDEMIC. 78 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS PARTICIPATED (57.6% WOMEN) WHO RESPONDED TO THE STRESS PERCEPTION SCALE AND THE FREE EVOKATION OF WORDS WITH THE INDUCING TERMS “LEARNINGS” AND “CHALLENGES” DURING THE PANDEMIC PERIOD. STUDY 4 HAD THE OBJECTIVES OF GIVING A VOICE TO STUDENTS TO IDENTIFY THEIR MAIN DIFFICULTIES EXPERIENCED IN THE HOUSING CONTEXT, UNDERSTAND AND ANALYZE THE COPING STRATEGIES AND THE SELF-EFFICACY BELIEFS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN THE FACE OF THE ABOVE ADVERSE SITUATIONS. 10 RESIDENT STUDENTS (6 WOMEN) PARTICIPATED, AGED BETWEEN 22 AND 31 YEARS OLD (M=26.4; SD=4.4). SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED AND ANALYZED USING DATA-BASED THEORY. THE RESULTS OF THE 4 STUDIES INDICATED THAT LIVING IN A SHARED STUDENT RESIDENCE IS A CHALLENGING DEVELOPMENTAL EXPERIENCE, OF MULTIPLE LEARNING AND POSITIVE TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE LIVES OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. THIS THESIS ADVOCATES THAT UNIVERSITY HOUSING PROGRAMS ARE INCREASINGLY AVAILABLE AND IMPROVED AS PROMOTERS OF ACADEMIC AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT. WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT STUDENT HOUSING IS A PROMOTER OF DEVELOPMENT, SO THAT RESIDENTS HAVE AN ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE SIMILAR TO OTHER STUDENTS AND, WHILE INVOLVING A SET OF CHALLENGES AND LEARNING, THE STRATEGIES OF FACING ADVERSITY, TOGETHER WITH NETWORK OF SOCIAL SUPPORT, CONTRIBUTE TO PERMANENCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION.
KEYWORDS: STUDENT HOUSING, ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, SOCIAL SUPPORT, STRESS, COPING, SELF-EFFICACY, HIGHER EDUCATION.

ABSTRACT
SPORT AS WORK IS STILL A TOPIC THAT NEEDS MORE STUDY, ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF RESEARCH ON GENDER ISSUES IN THE PATH OF ATHLETES. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS DISSERTATION WAS TO COMPARE THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE ATHLETES, FROM A GENDER PERSPECTIVE AND TO INVESTIGATE THE PROFESSIONAL TRAJECTORIES OF WOMEN ATHLETES. TO THIS END, TWO STUDY WERE CARRIED OUT. THE FIRST AIMED TO COMPARE THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS THAT HIGH-PERFORMANCE ATHLETES, MEN AND WOMEN, HAD AND WHAT ATHLETES OF THIS LEVEL HAVE. AS A SINGLE TASK, PARTICIPANTS WERE ASKED TO WRITE THREE WORDS THAT CAME TO THEIR MIND WHEN READING THE INDUCING TERM “HIGH PERFORMANCE ATHLETE”. 249 HIGH-PERFORMANCE ATHLETES PARTICIPATED IN THIS RESEARCH, 132 WOMEN AND 117 MEN, FROM 34 SPORTS. THE RESULTS SHOWED, IN THE FOUR QUADRANTS, A TOTAL OF 20 WORDS EVOKED BY BOTH MEN AND WOMEN AND 16 EVOKED ONLY BY WOMEN (7) OR BY MEN (9). THUS, WE FOUND THAT ALMOST HALF OF THE WORDS WERE PRESENT IN ONLY ONE OF THE GROUPS RESEARCHED. THERE ARE ALSO VISIBLE DIFFERENCES IN TERMS OF MEANINGS ATTRIBUTED. IF ON THE ONE HAND, THERE ARE SIMILARITIES REGARDING THE SPORTS CAREER BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS, ESPECIALLY IN THE CENTRAL ZONE, WHEN WE OVERCOME THIS COMMON CORE AND MORE READILY ACCESSIBLE TO CONSCIOUSNESS, THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE REPRESENTATIONS OF MALE AND FEMALE ATHLETES BECOMES VISIBLE. IN FEMALE REPRESENTATIONS, SACRIFICE APPEARS WITH GREATER PROMINENCE AND THEY ALSO TALK ABOUT COURAGE AND ABDICATION. IN CONTRAPOSITION, THE SPORTS SCENARIO IS PART OF THE MALE DREAM AND THEY SHOW MORE FOCUS ON WORDS SUCH AS WINNING, SUCCESS AND WORK. IN STUDY 2, THE OBJECTIVE WAS TO ANALYZE THE SPEECHES OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE WOMEN ATHLETES IN DIFFERENT SPORTS IN BRAZIL WITH A FOCUS ON THEIR PROFESSIONAL TRAJECTORIES AND EXPERIENCES. IN THIS SENSE, 12 INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH HIGH-PERFORMANCE WOMEN ATHLETES, FROM 12 DIFFERENT SPORTS, INCLUDING E-SPORTS, TRIATHLON, AMERICAN FOOTBALL, SHOOTING AND ARTISTIC SWIMMING. FROM THE ANALYSIS CARRIED OUT FROM THE DESCENDING HIERARCHICAL CLASSIFICATION, SIX CLASSES EMERGED (ADAPTATION TO THE ATHLETE CAREER, PROFESSIONALIZATION PROCESS, SUPPORT AND PERFORMANCE, SPORTS CAREER SCENARIOS, FAMILY CAREER SUPPORT AND MULTIDISCIPLINARY TICKET IN THE CAREER, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF ATHLETES, INDIVIDUAL AND CONTEXTUAL ELEMENTS OF THE CAREER, CHALLENGES AND PROTECTIVE FACTORS OF THE ATHLETES' TRAJECTORY AND PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCES OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE ATHLETES). THE NAME AND INTERPRETATION OF CLASSES AND AXES WAS MADE BASED ON AN ANALYSIS BY JUDGES IN THE FIELD OF PSYCHOLOGY. THE ANALYSIS OF THE INTERVIEWS SHOWS BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE ATHLETES' EXPERIENCES, WITH THE BARRIERS AND FACILITATORS OF THEIR PATH. TOGETHER, THE TWO STUDIES IN THIS DISSERTATION ALLOWED TO OFFER THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STUDY OF THE PROFESSIONAL TRAJECTORIES OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE ATHLETES BASED ON THE KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE EXPERIENCES. THE RESULTS OBTAINED WERE DISCUSSED IN THE LIGHT OF THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK, AND THE LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY AND A SUGGESTED RESEARCH AGENDA WERE ALSO PRESENTED.

ABSTRACT
RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SCHOOL AND FAMILY PROMOTES THE COGNITIVE, SOCIO-AFFECTIVE AND BEHAVIORAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS, INCREASING THE CHANCES OF ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND ACHIEVEMENT IN ADULT LIFE. HOWEVER, STUDIES INDICATE THAT THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH INVESTMENTS IN THE FIELD OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE INQUIRIES OF THE SCHOOL-FAMILY RELATIONSHIP, WHETHER IN THE INITIAL OR CONTINUING TRAINING OF TEACHERS. BASED ON THIS STATEMENT, THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS THESIS WAS TO UNDERSTAND BELIEFS, PERCEPTIONS OF CHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIES OF CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN FAMILIES AND BASIC EDUCATION TEACHERS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. WE ALSO SEEKED TO KNOW TOPICS OF INTEREST TO EDUCATORS TO GENERATE A MODEL OF PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL INTERVENTION AND PROMOTER OF BETTER COEXISTENCE. TO THIS END, FOUR STUDY WERE DEVELOPED. THE FIRST STUDY WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF UNDERSTANDING TEACHERS' IMPLIED BELIEFS ABOUT POOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WITH THE INTENTION OF INVESTIGATING PREJUDICES, DISCRIMINATION AND STIGMA THAT COULD BE BARRIERS TO GOOD SCHOOL RELATIONSHIPS. THE 102 TEACHERS RESPONDED TO FREE WORD EVOKATION INSTRUMENTS. THE RESULTS SHOWED EVIDENCE OF A PREJUDICED VIEW AS THE MAJORITY OF PROFESSIONALS ATTRIBUTED NEGATIVE ADJECTIVES TO CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS AND FAMILIES. THE SECOND STUDY WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF INVESTIGATING THE CHALLENGES OF SCHOOL-FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND EMERGENCY REMOTE EDUCATION. 106 TEACHERS PARTICIPATED. THE RESULTS HIGHLIGHTED THE FOLLOWING CHALLENGES: COMMUNICATION PROCESSES, CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS, SOCIAL INEQUALITIES AND INJUSTICES AND RISKS TO THE SOCIO-EMOTIONAL HEALTH OF THESE ACTORS. THE THIRD STUDY ANALYZED THE TEACHING KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED DURING THE PANDEMIC PERIOD WITH REGARD TO STRENGTHENING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN TEACHERS, THEIR STUDENTS AND FAMILY AND THE EFFECTS ON SOCIAL PRACTICES IN EVERYDAY SCHOOL DAY. THERE WERE 37 PARTICIPANTS. THE RESULTS WERE EXPRESSED IN TWO AXES OF CATEGORIES: ACUTE SENSES OF SENSITIVITY AND THEIR ENJOYMENT IN THE ACT OF EDUCATION; NEW WAYS OF SEEING, BEING AND LEARNING WITH TECHNOLOGIES IN EDUCATION. OPERATORS CAN BE IDENTIFIED CHARACTERISTICS OF RESILIENCE PROCESSES PREVENTED BY INDIVIDUAL RESOURCES, WHICH IMPLY SOCIO-EMOTIONAL SKILLS (EMPATHY, SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND APPROPRIATE INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS) AND LABOR SKILLS (AUTONOMY, CREATIVITY, INSIGHT, JUDGMENT, THE CRITICAL, EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT AND INTRINSIC MOTIVATION). FINALLY, THE FOURTH STUDY RAISED TOPICS OF INTEREST WITH 32 PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS THAT COULD BE DISCUSSED IN A SUPPORT PROGRAM FOR THESE PROFESSIONALS UNDER THE LENS OF URIE BRONFENBRENNER'S BIOECOLOGICAL MODELS AND JOYCE L. EPSTEIN'S OVERLAPPING SPHERES. THE INSTRUMENTS USED WERE: INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEWS, SELF-APPLICABLE FORM, FOCUS GROUP. QUALITATIVE ANALYZES WERE CARRIED OUT BASED ON GROUNDED-THEORY PRINCIPLES. THE RESULTS EVIDENCE FOUR GUIDING THEMES: QUALIFYING COMMUNICATION WITH KNOWLEDGE; OPEN YOUR MIND ABOUT DIVERSITY & EQUITY & INCLUSION; THE SCHOOL AS A FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT NETWORK; PROMOTE EDUCATION AND POSITIVE PARENTING. BASED ON THE RESULTS, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE TOPICS LISTED COULD BE PART OF A FEASIBILITY STUDY OF A POSITIVE PSYCHOEDUCATION INTERVENTION MODEL AimED AT PROFESSIONAL TEACHER TRAINING WITH THE AIM TO PROVIDE TEACHERS IN STRENGTHENING THE SCHOOL-FAMILY RELATIONSHIP. THE THESIS PRESENTS THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS BY PROVIDING SUPPORT THROUGH SPECIALIZED STUDIES IN THE AREA. IN ADDITION, IT PRESENTS THEMES FOR A POSITIVE PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL INTERVENTION MODEL FOR TEACHER TRAINING. IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE RESULTS OF THESE STUDIES CAN CONTRIBUTE TO PUBLIC POLICIES THAT PROMOTE TEACHER QUALIFICATION WITH REGARD TO THE COMMITMENT TO BRINGING FAMILIES CLOSER TO SCHOOLS FOR THE WELL-BEING AND SCHOOL HEALTH OF EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE MICRO AND MACROSYSTEM EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.

ABSTRACT
THE JOB CRAFTING CONSTRUCTION IS THE OBJECT OF COUNTLESS RESEARCH, WHICH USES THE JOB DEMANDS AND RESOURCES MODEL - JD-R AS A BASIS TO ELUCIDATED THE PERFORMANCE OF JOB AND PERSONAL RESOURCES AS KEY PARTS THAT CONTRIBUTE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONSTRUCT. BASED ON SUCH A REFERENCE, THIS DISSERTATION ADOPTED SOCIAL SUPPORT AT WORK, AS A WORK RESOURCE, AND THE FEAR OF BEING DISCONNECTED FROM WORK, AS A PERSONAL RESOURCE, IN ORDER TO INVESTIGATE THEIR RESPECTIVE CONNECTIONS WITH JOB CRAFTING, BEYOND THE ROLE MEDIATOR PERFORMED BY ENGAGEMENT IN WORK, IN SUCH RELATIONSHIPS. TO THIS END, TWO INDEPENDENT, BUT INTERRELATED, STUDIES WERE DEVELOPED. THE FIRST OBJECTIVE WAS CARRYING OUT THE ADAPTATION AND OBTAINING EVIDENCE OF THE VALIDITY OF THE FEAR OF BEING DISCONNECTED FROM WORK SCALE, IN BRAZILIAN SAMPLES, CONSIDERING THE LACK OF PREVIOUS ADAPTATIONS. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF 621 BRAZILIAN WORKERS FROM DIFFERENT PROFESSIONS AND OF BOTH SEX. THE RESULTS OF THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS CONFIRMED THE ORIGINAL MODEL OF THE SCALE OF TWO DISTINCT AND CORRELATED FACTORS (RELATIONAL EXCLUSION AND INFORMATIONAL EXCLUSION), INDICATING THAT THE STRUCTURE OF THE INSTRUMENT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED, REGARDLESS OF THE DIVERSITY OF CULTURAL PATTERNS EXISTING AMONG BRAZILIAN THEY ARE AMERICANS. THE SECOND STUDY SEEKED TO IDENTIFY THE RELATIONSHIPS OF SOCIAL SUPPORT AT WORK AND THE FEAR OF BEING DISCONNECTED FROM WORK WITH JOB CRAFTING, AS WELL AS THE MEDIATION PERFORMED BY WORK ENGAGEMENT IN THESE ASSOCIATIONS. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF 703 BRAZILIAN WORKERS FROM DIFFERENT PROFESSIONS AND BOTH SEXES. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT SOCIAL SUPPORT AT WORK, THE FEAR OF BEING DISCONNECTED FROM WORK AND ENGAGEMENT AT WORK WERE POSITIVELY RELATED TO THE INCREASED RESOURCES FACTOR OF JOB CRAFTING. FURTHERMORE, WORK ENGAGEMENT PARTIALLY MEDIATED THE POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP OF SOCIAL SUPPORT AT WORK AND THE FEAR OF BEING DISCONNECTED FROM WORK WITH THE INCREASED RESOURCE FACTOR OF JOB CRAFTING. THE STUDIES IN THIS DISSERTATION OFFER THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS ALLOWING ADVANCE IN KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK OF THE RELATIONSHIPS OF WORK AND PERSONAL RESOURCES WITH JOB CRAFTING, WITH ENGAGEMENT AS A MEDIATOR. SUCH CONTRIBUTIONS, LIMITATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR A FUTURE RESEARCH AGENDA WERE PRESENTED IN THE FINAL CONSIDERATIONS.

ABSTRACT
THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH WAS TO IDENTIFY TEACHERS' SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT INCLUSIVE PRACTICES DEVELOPED WITH AUTIST STUDENTS ENROLLED IN CLASSES FROM THE 1ST TO 5TH YEAR OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION IN THE MUNICIPAL PUBLIC EDUCATION NETWORK OF THE CITY OF SÃO GONÇALO/ RJ. WITH THIS PURPOSE, TWO STUDY WERE CONDUCTED WITH THE THEORY OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS AS THEORETICAL-METHODOLOGICAL BASIS, THROUGH WHICH TEACHER DISCOURSE WAS SEARCHED FOR JUSTIFIER ELEMENTS OF THE PRACTICES EXERCISED IN THE SCHOOL CONTEXT. STUDY 1 INVESTIGATED SUCH SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS IN COMMON ROOM TEACHERS. STUDY 2 FOCUSED ON THE INVESTIGATION OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS IN SPECIALIST TEACHERS, WORKING IN RESOURCE ROOMS OR SPECIALIZED SUPPORT CORE. THE RESEARCH IS CHARACTERIZED AS DESCRIPTIVE AND IS BASED ON A QUALITATIVE APPROACH. THE PARTICIPANTS WERE 212 SUBJECTS: ALL TEACHERS, MEMBERS OF THE EFFECTIVE STAFF OF THE MUNICIPAL EDUCATION NETWORK OF SÃO GONÇALO, WORKING OR WHO HAVE WORKED WITH AUTISTIC STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE EARLY YEARS OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION. DATA COLLECTION WAS THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF A SPECIFIC QUESTIONNAIRE FOR EACH STUDY, PROVIDING AN UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TEACHERS PERCEIVE AND EVALUATE THEIR OWN INCLUSIVE PRACTICES. THE DATA FROM FREE EVOCATION WAS SUBJECTED TO PROTOTYPICAL ANALYSIS WITH THE SUPPORT OF EVOC SIMI 2016 SOFTWARE (COMPUTER PROGRAM DEVELOPED BY UNIVERSIDADE ESTÁCIO DE SÁ IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CNPQ AND INT). THE JUSTIFICATIONS OF THE WORDS CONSIDERED MOST SIGNIFICANT BY THE SUBJECTS WERE SUBJECTED TO LEXICAL ANALYSIS USING THE IRAMUTEQ SOFTWARE (R POUR ANALYSES MULTIDIMENSIONELLES DE TEXTES ET DE QUESTIONNAIRES INTERFACE). THE DATA DERIVED FROM THE INCLUSIVE PRACTICES SCALE QUESTIONS WERE INTERPRETED BY MEANS OF SIMILITUDE ANALYSIS THROUGH THE SIMI 2003 PROGRAM, DEVELOPED BY PIERRE VERGÈS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT COMMON ROOM TEACHERS AND SPECIALIST TEACHERS VALUE AND CONSIDER MUTUAL COLLABORATION BETWEEN NECESSARY, HOWEVER COMMON ROOM TEACHERS SEEM MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE DIFFICULTIES THEY HAVE IN PERFORMING THEIR OWN TASKS.

ABSTRACT
DESPITE THE GROWTH OF ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION, MANY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS FACE DIFFICULTIES DURING THE TRANSITION TO THE WORLD OF WORK. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS THESIS WAS TO INVESTIGATE PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY AND THE IMPACT OF CAREER PLANNING ON CAREER ADAPTABILITY RESOURCES AND PERCEPTIONS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND EMPLOYABILITY IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. UNDER THE AEGIS OF THE THEORETICAL SUPPORT OF THE LIFE DESIGN MODEL (CAREER CONSTRUCTION THEORY AND SELF-CONSTRUCTION THEORY) AND THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MODEL OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, FOUR STUDIES WERE CARRIED OUT, THE FIRST LOOKING AT THE ROLE OF WORK EXPERIENCES ON THE MEANINGS THAT UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ATTRIBUTE TO PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY. IN THE ANALYSIS OF SEMANTIC NETWORKS, THREE GROUPS WERE COMPARED: UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WITH WORK EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELD (N=821), WITH WORK OUTSIDE THE FIELD (N=615), AND WITHOUT ANY PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE (N=855). THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY IS LARGELY INFLUENCED BY WORK EXPERIENCES. THE SECOND STUDY COMPARED THE PERCEPTIONS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND EMPLOYABILITY OF GRADUATES (N=2,291) WHETHER OR NOT PLANNING THEIR CAREER. THE CONCLUSIONS SHOW THAT THOSE WHO PLAN A CAREER, REGARDLESS OF THE TIME OF THE COURSE OR PARTICIPATION IN COMPLEMENTARY ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES, PRESENT MORE POSITIVE PERCEPTIONS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND EMPLOYABILITY. THE THIRD STUDY TESTED THE MEDIATING ROLE OF THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS (N=1,105) IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CAREER ADAPTABILITY AND PERCEPTION OF EMPLOYABILITY. THE POSITIVE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN THESE THREE CONSTRUCTS HIGHLIGHTS THAT CAREER ADAPTABILITY EXPANDS UNIVERSITY STUDENTS' PERCEPTION OF DEVELOPMENT, WHICH PROMOTES GREATER CONFIDENCE IN RESOLVING TASKS RELATING TO THE SEARCH FOR PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. FINALLY, THE LATEST STUDY INVESTIGATED THE EFFECTS OF CAREER PLANNING INTERVENTION ON UNIVERSITY GRADUATES IN GROUP AND ONLINE FORMATS. TO THIS END, A PILOT STUDY WAS CARRIED OUT (N=20) THAT ALLOWED TO IMPROVE THE PROTOCOL OF AUTOBIOGRAPHIC EXERCISES IN MY CAREER HISTORY. UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WHO WERE WILLING TO PARTICIPATE WERE RANDOMLY DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS: INTERVENTION (N=14) AND COMPARISON (N=14). TWO OBSERVERS REPORTED ON EACH SESSION AND PARTICIPANTS FILLED OUT EVALUATIONS AFTER EACH OF THEM. THE INTERVENTION WAS APPLIED FULLY ONLINE FOR THREE MONTHS, WITH THE INITIAL AND FOLLOW-UP SESSIONS INDIVIDUAL AND FIVE OTHER WEEKLY SESSIONS CARRIED OUT IN GROUPS OF SEVEN PEOPLE. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT PLANNING EXPANDS THE CAREER ADAPTABILITY RESOURCES OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, AS WELL AS THEIR PERCEPTIONS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND EMPLOYABILITY. THUS, WE CONFIRMED OUR CENTRAL THESIS THAT CAREER PLANNING, STILL DURING GRADUATION, BRINGS POSITIVE RESULTS FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN TERMS OF EXPANDING THE WAY THEY PERCEIVE THEIR DEVELOPMENT, THEIR CHANCES OF OBTAINING A JOB AND THEIR CAREER ADAPTABILITY. THE EFFECTS OF SUCH PLANNING, IN LINE WITH EXPERIENCES THROUGHOUT THE GRADUATION COURSE, INVOLVE A MORE SOLID PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY AND MORE POSITIVE PERCEPTIONS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THEREFORE, THE ESTABLISHED GENERAL OBJECTIVE WAS ACHIEVED, GENERATING RESULTS THAT ADD NEW KNOWLEDGE TO THE FIELD OF PSYCHOLOGY, ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA OF CAREER GUIDANCE, WITH THEORETICAL, METHODOLOGICAL AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS THAT ARE DISCUSSED THROUGHOUT THE THESIS.
KEYWORDS: CAREER PLANNING; PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY; CAREER ADAPTABILITY; PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT; PERCEPTION OF EMPLOYABILITY.

ABSTRACT
THE FAMILY ENVIRONMENT IS CONSIDERED AS AN IMPORTANT SCENARIO FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER, SEVERAL FAMILY TRANSFORMATIONS HAVE OCCURRED OVER TIME, REMODELING AND REDEFINING FAMILY ARRANGEMENTS AND CONFIGURATIONS. REGARDING HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, IT IS SEEN FROM THE LITERATURE THAT THE FAMILY IS NOT ALWAYS ABLE TO REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE AND INFLUENCE IT EXERCISES ON THE PSYCHIC, MORAL AND SOCIAL FORMATION OF THE CHILD/ADOLESCENT. THE FAMILY ENVIRONMENT IS STUDIED AND UNDERSTOOD BY PSYCHOLOGY AS ESSENTIAL FOR BUILDING THE EMOTIONAL HEALTH OF ITS MEMBERS, POSITIVELY IMPACTING ON PROTECTION AND WELL-BEING. THUS, THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE SOCIAL SKILLS AND PARENTING PRACTICES OF MOTHERS OF ADOLESCENTS. TO THIS END, TWO STUDY WERE CARRIED OUT: STUDY ONE, WHICH AIMED TO IDENTIFY THE PARENTAL EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS OF MOTHERS FROM DIFFERENT FAMILY CONFIGURATIONS. THIRTY INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED BASED ON THE RE-HSE-P MANUAL, IN A CONVENIENCE SAMPLE. THE THIRTY MOTHERS WERE DIVIDED INTO THREE GROUPS WITH 10 MOTHERS BELONGING TO THREE DIFFERENT FAMILY CONFIGURATIONS (NUCLEAR, SINGLE-PARENTAL AND REMARIED). THE INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED ONLINE (DUE TO THE NEW CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC) AND INDIVIDUALLY. THE INTERVIEWS WERE TRANSCRIBED AND THEN ANALYZED ACCORDING TO THE RE-HSE-P MANUAL. THE RESULTS OF THIS FIRST STUDY PRESENTED, IN GENERAL, EVIDENCE OF A GOOD REPERTOTORY OF SOCIAL EDUCATIONAL SKILLS IN MOTHERS. HOWEVER, IT WAS THE SINGLE-PARENT FAMILY SETTING GROUP THAT PRESENTED THE MOST DEFICITS IN SOCIAL EDUCATIONAL SKILLS, SHOWING HIGHER SCORES IN NEGATIVE TOTALS, WHICH INCLUDES THE NEGATIVE PRACTICES OF MOTHERS AND BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS IN CHILDREN. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE SECOND STUDY WAS TO EVALUATE PARENTAL EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS TRAINING FOR THE SINGLE-PARENT FAMILY SETTING GROUP THAT PRESENTED MORE DEFICITS IN SOCIAL SKILLS BASED ON THE RESULTS OF STUDY ONE. IN THIS WAY, 18 MOTHERS PARTICIPATED, 10 OF WHICH BELONGED TO THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP AND EIGHT TO THE COMPARISON GROUP. A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN WAS CARRIED OUT WITH PRE- AND POST-TESTS. THE EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY – PARENTS (IHSE-PARENTS) AND THE PARENTAL PRACTICES INVENTORY (IPP) WERE USED. THE RESULTS OF THE SECOND STUDY SHOWN GAINS FOR THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP WHEN COMPARING THE TWO TIMES OF THE RESEARCH, PRE AND POST-INTERVENTION. REGARDING THE GROUPS, MORE GAINS WERE FOUND FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP THAN FOR THE COMPARISON GROUP. THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE STUDY SHOWN NOT ONLY A DIFFERENT VIEW OF MOTHERS FROM SINGLE-PARENT FAMILIES BUT ALSO EVIDENCE OF THE ACQUISITION AND/OR IMPROVEMENT OF SOCIAL SKILLS IN THE BEHAVIORAL REPERTORY OF THESE MOTHERS THROUGH SOCIAL SKILLS TRAINING.

ABSTRACT
RETURN TO WORK FROM MATERNITY LEAVE REPRESENTS A DIFFICULT MOMENT OF TRANSITION FOR WOMEN. WOMEN FIND THEMSELVES EMOTIONALLY FRAGLE, HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE REMOVAL OF THEIR NEWBORN CHILD AND HIS NEEDS AND ALSO WITH WORK. IN THIS CONTEXT, THE SUPPORT POLICIES OFFERED BY THE ORGANIZATION CAN REPRESENT A COURSE FOR THESE WOMEN, A FORM OF SUPPORT SO THAT THEY CAN BALANCE ALL THESE ASPECTS OF THEIR LIFE. SUCH POLICIES MAY BE CONSIDERED JOB RESOURCES. TO Elucidate THE ROLE OF THESE POLICIES, THE JD[1]R MODEL WAS USED AS THE MAIN THEORETICAL REFERENCE. ACCORDING TO THIS MODEL, WHEN THERE IS A PREDOMINANCE OF WORK RESOURCES OVER DEMANDS, THE TENDENCY IS FOR THE WORKER TO REMAIN MOTIVATED AND ENGAGED IN HER WORK, FEELING MORE PROFESSIONALLY FULFILLED WITHOUT LEAVING HER MATERNAL DEMANDS ASIDE. BASED ON THE ABOVE INFORMATION, THE CURRENT DISSERTATION SEEKED TO INVESTIGATE IN MORE DETAIL THE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT WORK-FAMILY SUPPORT POLICIES AND HOW THEY INTERFERE IN THE LIVES OF WOMEN RETURNING FROM MATERNITY LEAVE. FOR SUCH OBJECTIVE, TWO DIFFERENT STUDIES WERE DEVELOPED. THE FIRST INVESTIGATION INVOLVED THE PARTICIPATION OF 565 RESPONDENTS AND SEEKED TO GATHER VALIDITY EVIDENCE BASED ON INTERNAL STRUCTURE, INTERNAL CONSISTENCY AND CORRELATIONS WITH RELATED CONSTRUCTS OF THE WORK[1]FAMILY SUPPORT POLICY SCALE IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE BRAZILIAN VERSION OF THE INSTRUMENT PRESENTED A STRUCTURE OF 25 ITEMS, DIVIDED INTO FIVE FIRST ORDER FACTORS AND ONE SECOND ORDER, WHICH DIVERGED FROM THE ORIGINAL SCALE DEVELOPMENT STUDY. IN ADDITION, THE WORK-FAMILY SUPPORT POLICY OBTAINED POSITIVE CORRELATIONS WITH THE SUPERVISOR'S FAMILY SUPPORT BEHAVIOR AND WITH THE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE OF VALUING SATISFACTION AND WELL-BEING. DESPITE THE DIFFERENCES IN THE STRUCTURE, THE SCALE PROVED TO BE SUITABLE FOR MEASURING WORK-FAMILY SUPPORT POLICIES IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT. THE SECOND STUDY OBTAINED 442 PARTICIPANTS AND AIMED TO TEST THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN TWO ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT POLICIES (WORK-FAMILY SUPPORT POLICY AND FAMILY SUPPORT SUPERVISOR SUPPORT BEHAVIOR) WITH THE INTENTION OF TURNOVER (REFLECTIONS ABOUT LEAVING CURRENT JOB AND WITH JOB SEARCH BEHAVIOR, AS WELL AS THE MEDIATING ROLE OF WORK ENGAGEMENT IN THESE RELATIONSHIPS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO RESOURCES STUDIED WITH THE INTENTION TO TURNOVER AND ALSO SHOWN THAT WORK ENGAGEMENT MEDIATED THE RELATIONSHIP OF TURNOVER POLICY. WORK-FAMILY SUPPORT AND SUPERVISOR'S FAMILY SUPPORT BEHAVIOR WITH THE TWO INDICATORS OF TURNOVER INTENTION. THE PRACTICAL AND THEORETICAL IMPLICATIONS OF EACH STUDY AND DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE RESULTS, AS WELL AS THE LIMITATIONS OF BOTH STUDIES AND SUGGESTIONS FOR RESEARCH. S FUTURES THEY ARE PRESENTED IN THE FINAL CHAPTER OF THIS DISSERTATION.

ABSTRACT
PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE IS A PHENOMENON THAT COMPRISES A SET OF WORK-ORIENTED BEHAVIORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE OBJECTIVES OF THE ORGANIZATION AND TO PEOPLE'S ACHIEVEMENT. RECENT CHANGES IN THE WORLD OF WORK HAVE EMPOWERED WORKERS IN RELATION TO THE DIRECTION OF THEIR PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE, ALLOWING THEM TO TAKE THE ROLE OF CURATORS OF THEIR PERFORMANCE. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS THESIS WAS TO DEVELOP AN EMPIRICAL, COMPREHENSIVE AND CONTEXTUALIZED MODEL FOR MEASUREMENT AND SELF-MANAGEMENT OF PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE. TO ACHIEVE THIS OBJECTIVE, WE CARRIED OUT FIVE INTERDEPENDENT STUDIES. THE FIRST, A MULTI-CRITERIA REVIEW ON PERFORMANCE, WITH A FOCUS ON THE TERTIARY SECTOR, COUNTED 50 ARTICLES IN LIGHT OF CAMPBELL'S CLASSIC PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE MODEL. WE REVEALED, THROUGH THE STUDY, THE NEED TO ADOPT A COMPREHENSIVE AND COMPLEX PERSPECTIVE THAT REFLECTS THE NATURE OF THE CONSTRUCT. THE SECOND AND THIRD STUDIES CONTAIN, RESPECTIVELY, THE PREPARATION PROCESS AND EVIDENCE TESTS OF THE VALIDITY OF THE INVENTORY THAT DEPICTED THE MULTIFACETED NATURE OF THE PHENOMENON. THE ITEMS OF THE INSTRUMENT CAME FROM PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE SCALES AND WERE ADAPTED ACCORDING TO THEIR FRAMING WITHIN THE DIMENSIONS OF THE THEORETICAL MODEL. WE THEN CONDUCTED EVIDENCE TESTS OF THE VALIDITY OF THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THE INVENTORY, AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE EXTERNAL VARIABLE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, IN ADDITION TO INVESTIGATING THE INVARIANCE BY GENDER AND BY THE EXERCISE OF MANAGEMENT OR NOT. 648 ADULT WORKERS WORKING IN VARIOUS JOB FUNCTIONS PARTICIPATED. WE PERFORM EXPLORATORY GRAPHIC ANALYSIS AND CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS ON THE COLLECTED DATA. SUCH INVENTORY WAS APPLIED IN CONJUNCTION TO A BATTERY OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NATURE AND EVERYDAY WORK DAY OF THE PARTICIPANTS, WHICH ADDED CONTEXTUALITY TO THE INVENTORY, PERSONALIZING THE CONTENT OF SOME ITEMS BASED ON THE RESPONSES OF WORKERS IN THIS INITIAL BATTERY. THE PROCESS PROVIDED ADEQUATE PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE INVENTORY, COMPOSED OF 25 ITEMS DISTRIBUTED IN FIVE DIMENSIONS (TECHNIQUE; COMMUNICATION; PEER COORDINATION; SUBORDINATE COORDINATION; AND COUNTERPRODUCTIVE BEHAVIOR). SUCH DIMENSIONS PARTIALLY CONFIRMED CAMPBELL'S THEORETICAL MODEL. THE FOURTH STUDY PRESENTED A TECHNICAL-TECHNOLOGICAL PRODUCT FOR SELF-MANAGEMENT OF PERFORMANCE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT WORKERS WHO SUDDENLY AND COMPULSORILY MIGRATED TO REMOTE MODALITY DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. COMPOSED OF A PROPOSITIVE TEXT, A STRUCTURED QUESTIONNAIRE AND A BEHAVIORAL MAP, THIS PRODUCT ENCOURAGED PROFESSIONALS' SELF-MANAGEMENT IN AN AUTONOMOUS PROCESS. FINALLY, THE FIFTH STUDY INTEGRATES THE PREVIOUSLY DEVELOPED INVENTORY AND MAP. THIS IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE MODEL, RESULTING FROM A SUCCESSION OF THREE PILOT APPLICATIONS. OF THESE APPLICATIONS, THE FIRST WAS CONDUCTED AUTONOMOUSLY (N=68 TELEWORKERS) AND THE OTHER THROUGH WORKSHOPS (N=40 WORKERS) FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MAP, GUIDED BY A CAREER ADVISOR. THE RESULT WAS THE DELIVERY OF A TOOL THAT ENABLES CONSISTENT AND COMPREHENSIVE SELF-DIAGNOSIS OF PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE AND PROVIDES SELF-MANAGEMENT, WITH PERIODIC MEASUREMENTS OF THE DEVELOPMENTS OBTAINED. THIS THESIS PRESENTS THEORETICAL, METHODOLOGICAL AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS THAT POINT OUT THE ADVANTAGES OF PEOPLE'S TRANSITION TO ACTIVE DIRECTION OF THEIR CAREERS, IN A CONTINUOUS CYCLE OF DIAGNOSIS, MANAGEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF IMPROVEMENTS IN THE SEARCH FOR PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENT.

ABSTRACT
PART OF THE CHILDREN'S POPULATION HAS BEEN PRESENTING PATHOLOGICAL DISORDERS OF MENTAL DISORDERS AND IT IS A FACT THAT THIS CONDITION ENDING UP CAUSED HARMFUL TO HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT. MENTAL DISORDERS NEED TO BE CONSIDERED AS RELEVANT IN PUBLIC HEALTH DUE TO THEIR HIGH PREVALENCE. AMONG THE PROBLEMS THAT CAUSE CONCERN ARE ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION IN CHILDHOOD. ANXIETY CAN BE UNDERSTANDED AS A SYSTEM OF PHYSIOLOGICAL, AFFECTIVE, COGNITIVE AND BEHAVIORAL RESPONSES. DEPRESSION IN CHILDHOOD INFLUENCES SOCIAL INTERACTIONS AND SCHOOL PERFORMANCE, BECAUSE SCHOOL IS THE PLACE WHERE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS ARE FIRST SOLIDIFYED. SINCE ACQUIRING SOCIAL SKILLS BRINGS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF FAVORABLE RESULTS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL AND THEIR GROUP, AN ATTEMPT IS TO IDENTIFY THEIR RELATIONS WITH MENTAL HEALTH. BASED ON THE RELEVANCE THAT THE SUBJECT BRINGS TO THE MOMENT, THIS DISSERTATION PROPOSES TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL SKILLS, ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION IN CHILDREN. IF THIS RELATIONSHIP EXISTS, WE ARE SEEKING TO DEMONSTRATE WHETHER SOCIAL SKILLS TRAINING (THS) CAN REDUCE ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION INDEXES, INCREASING SOCIAL SKILLS INDEXES. THIS WORK IS COMPOSED OF TWO STUDIES. STUDY 1 AIMS TO INVESTIGATE HOW MUCH SOCIAL SKILLS ARE RELATED TO INDEXES OF ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN. THE SAMPLE INCLUDED 221 CHILDREN WITH AN AGE RANGE BETWEEN SEVEN AND 12 YEARS OLD. THE INSTRUMENTS USED WERE THE SOCIAL SKILLS SYSTEM, BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS AND ACADEMIC COMPETENCE FOR CHILDREN (SSRS), SPENCE CHILDHOOD ANXIETY SCALE (SCAS) AND CHILDHOOD DEPRESSION INVENTORY (CDI). THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THERE ARE NEGATIVE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DEPRESSION AND ALL SOCIAL SKILLS FACTORS. STUDY 2 EVALUATED THE EFFECTS OF THS ON ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION INDICATORS, INCREASING THE SOCIAL SKILLS REPERTOIR OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN. THE SAMPLE INCLUDED 23 CHILDREN AGED BETWEEN SEVEN AND 12 YEARS OLD. THE INSTRUMENTS USED WERE THE SSRS, SCAS AND CDI. THE RESULTS SHOWN INDIVIDUAL GAINS WITH IMPROVEMENTS IN DEPRESSION INDEXES AND INCREASED SOCIAL SKILLS. THE RESEARCH CONTRIBUTES TO THE LITERATURE THAT DESERVES TO INVESTIGATE THE PHENOMENA THAT MAY OCCUR IN CHILDREN WITH DEPRESSIVE AND ANXIOUS SYMPTOMATOLOGY, EVALUATING THE EXTENT TO THE EXTENT SOCIAL SKILLS CAN BE CONSIDERED PROTECTIVE IN THIS PROCESS.

ABSTRACT
THIS THESIS IS COMPOSED OF FIVE STUDIES WITH THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF INVESTIGATING HOW MATHEMATICS COURSE STUDENTS EXPERIENCE THE UNIVERSITY CONTEXT THROUGH THE VARIABLES OF ACADEMIC ADAPTATION AND SATISFACTION WITH THE COURSE, FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE STUDENTS THEMSELVES, TEACHERS AND MANAGERS . SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND MANAGERS OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. MULTIDIMENSIONAL ANALYZES OF THE TRANSCRIPTIONS WERE DONE USING THE IRAMUTEQ SOFTWARE. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE FIRST STUDY WAS TO IDENTIFY THE CONCEPTIONS OF MATHEMATICS STUDENTS REGARDING ACADEMIC ADAPTATION AND SATISFACTION WITH THE COURSE. 22 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS PARTICIPATED. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED BY STUDENTS IN THE COURSE'S SPECIFIC SUBJECTS WERE RESULTING FROM GAPS IN HIGH SCHOOL. FURTHERMORE, THE FACT THAT MATHEMATICS WAS NOT THE FIRST OPTION WAS ONE OF THE EXPLANATIONS FOR THE DISSATISFACTION WITH THE COURSE, WITH ANOTHER DEGREE AS PREFERENCE. THE SECOND STUDY WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE CONCEPTIONS OF MATHEMATICS TEACHERS REGARDING ACADEMIC ADAPTATION AND SATISFACTION WITH THE COURSE OF MATHEMATICS STUDENTS. 23 TEACHERS PARTICIPATED IN THE RESEARCH. THE RESULTS OBTAINED EVIDENCE FACTORS THAT WERE CONSIDERED AS HARMFUL, INCLUDING CONTENT DEFICITS IN SECONDARY EDUCATION, THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF FULL DEDICATION OF SOME STUDENTS AND TEACHERS WHO DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE VULNERABILITY OF MANY OF THEM. IN THE SAME LINE, THE THIRD STUDY WAS PURPOSED TO IDENTIFY THE CONCEPTIONS OF MATHEMATICS COURSE MANAGERS. 10 MANAGERS WERE INTERVIEWED. THE RESULTS INDICATED SOME FACTORS CONSIDERED AS CAUSES OF UNSATISFACTORY ADAPTATION, SUCH AS AN INSUFFICIENT HIGH SCHOOL MATHEMATICS REPERTOTORY, UNKNOWLEDGE OF THE COURSE CHARACTERISTICS AND DISSATISFACTION WITH MATHEMATICS DEGREE BECAUSE ENGINEERING IS THE MOST PREFERRED COURSE ENCE OF MANY STUDENTS. THE FOURTH STUDY SEEKED TO INVESTIGATE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE CONCEPTIONS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND MATHEMATICS COURSE MANAGERS IN RELATION TO THE VARIABLES OF ACADEMIC ADAPTATION AND SATISFACTION WITH THE COURSE. REGARDING THE SIMILARITIES FOUND, THE RESULTS POINT OUT LEARNING DIFFICULTIES DUE TO GAPS IN HIGH SCHOOL. ANOTHER COMMON PERCEPTION REFERS TO THE DIFFICULTY OF IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING VULNERABILITY SITUATIONS IN THE ACADEMIC CONTEXT. THE FIFTH STUDY WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF IDENTIFYING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE CONCEPTIONS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND MANAGERS OF THE MATHEMATICS COURSE IN RELATION TO THE VARIABLES OF ACADEMIC ADAPTATION AND SATISFACTION WITH THE COURSE. REGARDING DIFFERENT CONCEPTIONS ABOUT ACADEMIC ADAPTATION, STUDENTS FROM PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES EMPHASIZED THE ROLE OF INFORMATION REGARDING THE COURSE AND THE JOB MARKET. STUDENTS AT PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS REINFORCE THE LEARNING DIFFICULTIES ORIGINATING IN HIGH SCHOOL. REGARDING SATISFACTION WITH THE COURSE, TEACHERS AT PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES PERCEIVE IT AS HARM DUE TO THE HIGH RATE OF FAILURE OF THE COURSE. FOR TEACHERS AT PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS, THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS IS BECAUSE THE CHOICE FOR THE COURSE IS MOTIVATED ONLY BY BELONGING TO A QUALITY PUBLIC UNIVERSITY. THE PARTICIPANTS IN STUDY FOUR AND FIVE ARE THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS SAMPLES, WHETHER THE UNIVERSITY WAS PUBLIC OR PRIVATE IS INCLUDED HERE AS AN ANALYTICAL CATEGORY. IN GENERAL, THE STUDIES REVEALED PERTINENT INFORMATION THAT CAN BE USED BY TEACHERS AND ACADEMIC MANAGERS WITH AIM TO IMPROVE THE TRANSITION PROCESS TO UNIVERSITY FOR MATHEMATICS COURSE STUDENTS.

ABSTRACT
THE IMPLIED THEORIES OF INTELLIGENCE ARE COMPOSED OF TWO OPPOSING FACTORS, CONSISTENT WITH DIFFERENT BELIEFS THAT GUIDE AN INDIVIDUAL'S ATTITUDES TOWARDS LEARNING SITUATIONS. THE FIRST OF THEM, THE GROWTH MINDSET, INVOLVES INDIVIDUAL BELIEFS THAT, THROUGH OWN EFFORT, IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACQUIRE NEW SKILLS AND IMPROVE COGNITIVE ASPECTS SUCH AS INTELLIGENCE AND TALENTS. IN CONTRAST, THE FIXED MINDSET IS BASED ON THE BELIEF THAT INDIVIDUAL ATTRIBUTES ARE NATIVE AND CANNOT BE CHANGED OR LEARNED. BASED ON THESE REFERENCES, WE SEEKED TO DEPEND THE NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK OF THESE CONSTRUCTS IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT, BY CARRYING OUT THREE STUDIES. THE FIRST STUDY, THROUGH A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW, WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF REVIEWING THE TEXTUAL PRODUCTION OF THE GROWTH MINDSET AT WORK, IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND AND OPEN PATHS FOR MORE STUDIES RELATED TO THIS CONSTRUCTION. THE ANALYSIS OF 2619 RECOVERED ARTICLES RESULTED IN THE INCLUSION OF 21 ARTICLES IN THIS REVIEW, INDICATING A RISING PRODUCTION OF THE GROWTH MINDSET IN THE WORK CONTEXT AND ITS POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH POSITIVE VARIABLES SUCH AS GREATER ENGAGEMENT AND WELL-BEING, AS WELL AS DECREASE IN NEGATIVE ASPECTS LIKE DEPRESSION AND ANGER. THE SECOND STUDY WAS THE PURPOSE OF GATHERING ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE OF THE VALIDITY OF INTERNAL STRUCTURE AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH EXTERNAL VARIABLES OF THE SCALE OF IMPLIED THEORIES OF INTELLIGENCE, IN 508 BRAZILIAN WORKERS. CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYZES INDICATED THAT THE ADJUSTED MODEL OF TWO CORRELATED FACTORS WAS THE ONE THAT PROVIDED THE BEST FIT INDICES. IN RELATION TO EXTERNAL VARIABLES, GROWTH MINDSET WAS POSITIVELY CORRELATED WITH POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL AT WORK, POSITIVE AFFECTS AT WORK AND OCCUPATIONAL SELF-EFFICACY. THE FIXED MINDSET SHOWN A POSITIVE CORRELATION WITH NEGATIVE AFFECTS AT WORK, AND A HIGH NEGATIVE CORRELATION WITH THE GROWTH MINDSET. FINALLY, STUDY THREE DETAILED TO EVALUATING THE MEDIATING ROLE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IMPLIED THEORIES OF INTELLIGENCE AND ACHIEVEMENT GOALS AT WORK, IN A CROSS-CROSS-SET STUDY, WITH A SAMPLE COMPOSED OF 327 BRAZILIAN TEACHERS. IT WAS POSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY, BY MEANS OF STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING, A REDUCED EFFECT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY, ACTING PARTIALLY AS A MEDIATOR OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE GROWTH MINDSET AND ACHIEVEMENT GOALS AT WORK, JUST AS THE TOTAL EFFECT OF THE GROWTH MINDSET WAS IDENTIFIED GROWTH IN ACHIEVEMENT GOALS AT WORK. CURIOUSLY, IT WAS POSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY THAT, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO MEDIATION IN THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE FIXED MINDSET WITH ACHIEVEMENT GOALS, THERE IS A DIRECT EFFECT OF THE FIXED MINDSET ON MASTERY ACHIEVEMENT GOALS, INDICATING THAT LOWER LEVELS OF FIXED MINDSET PREDICT HIGHER LEVELS OF MASTERY APPROACHMENT. IN THE FINAL CONSIDERATIONS, THE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS OBTAINED ARE DISCUSSED.

ABSTRACT
THE GRADUAL IMPLEMENTATION OF TELEWORKING INTO ORGANIZATIONAL PRACTICES WAS ALREADY A REALITY IN THE LAST DECADE, INCLUDING IN THE CONTEXT OF BRAZILIAN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION. WITH THE ADVENT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, REMOTE WORKING COMPULSORY WAS AN ABRUPTLY IMPOSED MEASURE TO CONTAIN TRANSMISSION, WHICH CAUSED MANY DEMANDS. IN THIS CONTEXT, THE PRESENT DISSERTATION, BASED ON THE THEORETICAL MODEL JOB DEMANDS RESOURCES (JD-R), AIMED TO CHARACTERIZE THE PROCESS OF ADOPTING COMPULSORY REMOTE WORK IN A PUBLIC BODY OF THE JUDICIAL POWER, WITH EMPHASIS ON THE IMPLICATIONS FOR WELL-BEING AT WORK OF SERVERS. TO THIS END, TWO INDEPENDENT, BUT CONNECTED, STUDIES WERE DEVELOPED. THE FIRST WAS A CASE STUDY TO CHARACTERIZE THE IMPACT OF COMPULSORY TELEWORKING ON THE PERFORMANCE AND WELL-BEING OF TELEWORKERS IN REGARD TO PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS AND WORK REDESIGN. 33 PUBLIC SERVANTS, STUDENTS OF A TELEWORK MANAGEMENT COURSE IN THE RESEARCHED ORGANIZATION, PARTICIPATED IN DISCUSSION FORUMS. THE CORPUS GATHERED 4,261 WORDS ANALYZED WITH THE SUPPORT OF IRAMUTEQ. “TELEWORK” AND “WORK-TASK” COMPOSED THE MAIN COMMUNITIES OF THE CO-OCCURENCE TREE. FIVE CLASSES EMERGED FROM THE DESCENDING HIERARCHICAL CLASSIFICATION: WORK-FAMILY CONCILIATION; VIRTUAL COMMUNICATION; COMMUNICATION TOOLS; RELATIONSHIP; AND REDESIGN OF WORK. THE BASIC PSYCHOLOGICAL NEED FOR RELATIONSHIPS AND THE DIMENSION OF COMMUNICATION PERFORMANCE WERE THE MOST AFFECTED, MAKING THE REDESIGN OF RELATIONSHIPS AND TASKS MAIN TARGETS OF REDESIGN ACTIONS IN THE TRANSITION TO COMPULSORY TELEWORKING. THE SECOND STUDY, OF A QUANTITATIVE NATURE, WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF INVESTIGATING THE CONTRIBUTION OF MANAGEMENT SUPPORT AND HOME TELEWORKING SKILLS ON THE WORKING WELL-BEING OF SERVANTS. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF 231 PUBLIC SERVANTS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT MANAGEMENT SUPPORT HAS A HIGH CONTRIBUTION IN PREDICTING WORKER WELL-BEING, MAINLY IN THE ACHIEVEMENT AT WORK DIMENSION. SOFT SKILLS HAVE THE GREATEST PREDICTIVE POWER IN THE THREE DIMENSIONS OF WELL-BEING AT WORK. HARD SKILLS CONTRIBUTE LESS TO EXPLAIN WELL-BEING AT WORK IN THE THREE DIMENSIONS, WHEN COMPARED TO THE OTHER TWO RESOURCES. THE MAIN RESULT OF THE TWO STUDIES WAS TO CERTIFY THAT, IN FACE OF THE DEMANDS ARISING WITH COMPULSORY TELEWORKING, WORKERS, SUPPORTED BY THEIR MANAGERS, CAN ACTIVATE WORK REDESIGN BEHAVIORS TO BALANCE DEMANDS AND RESOURCES IN PROFIT OF WELL-BEING AT WORK. BOTH STUDIES CONTRIBUTED TO A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE COMPULSORY TELEWORKING PHENOMENON AND SERVES AS AN INSPIRATIONAL DIAGNOSIS FOR FUTURE ADOPTION OF THE MODALITY. OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS, LIMITATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH ARE FOUND IN THE FINAL CONSIDERATIONS.

ABSTRACT
THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO IDENTIFY THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF AFFECTIVITY IN THE CONTEXT OF TEACHER-STUDENT INTERACTION, PREPARED BY TEACHERS WITH THE AIM TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROLE OF AFFECTIVITY IN EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES IN EARLY EARLY EDUCATION. IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE CONSENSUS UNIVERSE, THE KNOWLEDGE PREPARED AND SHARED IN TEACHING PRACTICE ABOUT THE OBJECT STUDIED, AFFECTIVITY, THE THEORY OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS GUIDED THE RESEARCH. THE METHODOLOGY USED HAS A QUALITATIVE DESIGN AND WAS DEVELOPED IN TWO STUDIES. THE DATA FOR THE FIRST STUDY WERE COLLECTED THROUGH THE FREE WORD ASSOCIATION TECHNIQUE AND IN THE SECOND STUDY THE GIBI TECHNIQUE WAS USED. THE FREE WORD ASSOCIATION TECHNIQUE, BASED ON VERBAL PRODUCTION, ALLOWS TO INVESTIGATE THE CONSTITUTIVE ELEMENTS OF REPRESENTATION. THE GIBI TECHNIQUE ALREADY ENABLES THE CRITICAL REFLECTIVE APPROACH OF EVERYDAY PRACTICES IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS SO THAT PARTICIPANTS RECRUIT THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCES PREVIOUSLY BUILT IN EVERYDAY DAY, BEING CALLED IN THE GIBI FIGURES. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF 73 EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION TEACHERS USING THE ASSOCIAÇÃO LIVRE DE PALAVRAS TECHNIQUE AND 27 TEACHERS FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE GIBI TECHNIQUE IN PRIVATE AND PUBLIC NETWORKS IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO AND NITERÓI- RJ- BRAZIL. THE DATA COLLECTED USING THE FREE WORD ASSOCIATION TECHNIQUE WERE ANALYZED BY MEANS OF PROTOTYPICAL ANALYSIS WITH THE SUPPORT OF IRAMUTEQ SOFTWARE. THE DATA COLLECTED USING THE GIBI TECHNIQUE WERE RECORDED AND TRANSCRIBED IN FULL, SUBJECTED TO THEMATIC CONTENT ANALYSIS. THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT, DESPITE THE GREAT IMPORTANCE ATTRIBUTED IN THE TEACHERS' DISCOURSE, AFFECTIVITY DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN AUTONOMOUS OBJECT OF REPRESENTATION; IT IS NOT TREATED AS A TOOL, OR DIMENSION OF THE EDUCATIONAL ACT; WE CAN THINK OF A REPRESENTATION OF AFFECTION AS NATURAL TO THE HUMAN BEING AND THAT FAVORS LEARNING. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT, WHEN “POSITIVE” AFFECTIVITY DOESN’T WORK SPONTANEOUSLY, DOESN’T EMERGE “NATURALLY”, TEACHERS DON’T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH IT, GENERATING A FEELING OF FRUSTRATION AND ABOVE ALL IMPOTENCY. THE MARKING REFERENCE TO AFFECTIVITY AS AN IMPRESSIBLE VALUE, BOTH IN THE DEFINITION OF THE TEACHER'S IDENTITY, AND IN EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE, SEEM TO BE MORE OF A NORMATIVE DISCOURSE, THAN A REFERENCE TO THE COLLECTIVE MEMORY OF A CONSOLIDATED AND LEGITIMATE SET OF PRACTICES.

ABSTRACT
THIS DISSERTATION WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF INVESTIGATING THE DYNAMICS OF PARENTING AND PARENTING PRACTICES RELATED TO THE SCHOOLING PROCESS OF ADOLESCENT CHILDREN. THE PRESENT STUDY HAS AS THEORETICAL BASIS THE THEORY OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS, WITH THE PURPOSE OF CONTRIBUTING TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTING AND PARENTAL PRACTICES IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND PARTICIPATION OF PARENTS IN MONITORING THEIR CHILDREN'S SCHOOL ACTIVITIES. THE RESEARCH HAS A QUALITATIVE METHODOLOGICAL DESIGN, AND WAS CONDUCTED FROM TWO STUDIES: THE FIRST STUDY WAS CONDUCTED WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF 20 RESPONSIBLE PARENTS, THROUGH A SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEW WITH NINE OPEN QUESTIONS, WHICH AIMED TO ANALYZE THE PARTICIPATION OF THE RESPONSIBLE YOU SEE IT IN EVERYDAY LIFE EDUCATIONAL OF CHILDREN, AS ALSO THE INTERACTION BETWEEN SCHOOL AND RESPONSIBLE. THE DATA PRESENTED WAS COLLECTED AND ANALYZED THROUGH A THEMATIC CONTENT ANALYSIS. THE RESULTS WERE DIVIDED INTO FOUR SETS: 1- IN RELATION TO THE PLACE AND FUNCTION OF SCHOOLING IN CHILDREN'S LIVES 2- IN RELATION TO MONITORING THEIR LIFE AND SCHOOL TASKS 3- IN RELATION TO THE CHANGES CAUSED BY THE PANDEMIC 4- IN RELATION TO PARENTING PRACTICES THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PARTICIPANTS. THE SECOND STUDY HAD THE PARTICIPATION OF THE 20 PARENTS RESPONSIBLE FROM STUDY I, WITH THE APPLICATION OF THE GIBI TECHNIQUE, A PLAYFUL STRATEGY WHICH AIMS TO CAPTURE EXPERIENCES ABOUT SPECIFIC PHENOMENA, REPRESENTED THROUGH GIBI MAGAZINE COMICS. THE TECHNIQUE WAS CONDUCTED THROUGH THE PRESENTATION OF THE GIBI, AND THREE GUIDING QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE TOPIC, WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF FACILITATING THE PARTICIPANT TO REFLECT ON THEIR BEHAVIOR AND PARTICIPATION IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OF THE CHILD(REN), THE DATA WERE ANALYZED THROUGH ANALYSIS OF THEMATIC TYPE CONTENT. THE RESULTS SHOW OPPOSING POSITIONS IN RELATION TO PARENTS' PARTICIPATION IN THEIR CHILDREN'S SCHOOL ACTIVITIES: PARENTS WHO PARTICIPATE PRESENT SEARCHING FOR KNOWLEDGE STRATEGIES, AND PARENTS WHO ENCOURAGE CHILDREN'S AUTONOMY AND INDEPENDENCE WITHOUT EFFECTIVELY INVOLVING THEMSELVES. IN RELATION TO NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE EXPERIENCES AT SCHOOL, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT FIGHTS AND REJECTION AMONG FRIENDS MARK NEGATIVE AFFECTIVITY, A FACT THAT REINFORCENES THE ELEMENTS FOUND PREVIOUSLY ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHOOL AS A PLACE TO LEARN HOW TO DEAL WITH HUMAN RELATIONS AND SOCIAL. IT WAS ALSO OBSERVED THAT LEARNING AND KNOWLEDGE ISSUES ARE NOT PRIORITIZED BY PARENTS, BOTH IN POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ISSUES.

ABSTRACT
THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS DISSERTATION WAS TO EVALUATE WHETHER SKIN COLOR AND THE EXPERIENCE OF RACISM INFLUENCE THE BELIEFS THAT YOUNG BLACK RESIDENTS OF RIO DE JANEIRO HAVE ABOUT THEMSELVES AND THEIR ASPIRATIONS FOR THE FUTURE. TO THIS PURPOSE, TWO EMPIRICAL AND QUANTITATIVE APPROACH STUDIES WERE CARRIED OUT. IN STUDY 1 WE EVALUATED THE LEVEL OF ACADEMIC SELF-EFFICACY IN YOUNG PEOPLE IN RIO DE JANEIRO (RJ), AND COMPARISONS WERE MADE BASED ON THE DECLARATION OF SKIN COLOR AND THE DECLARED EXPERIENCE OF RACISM. THE 172 YOUNG STUDENTS (M=21.96; SD=3.57) RESPONDED TO THREE INSTRUMENTS: THE SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONNAIRE, THE GENERAL PERCEIVED SELF-EFFICACY SCALE AND THE ACADEMIC SELF-EFFICACY SCALE FOR HIGH SCHOOL. DESCRIPTIVE ANALYZES, CORRELATIONS BETWEEN VARIABLES AND STUDENT'S T-TEST WERE CARRIED OUT TO EVALUATE COMPARISONS BETWEEN GROUPS OF YOUNG PEOPLE. STUDY 2 EVALUATED WHETHER SKIN COLOR AND RACISM VARIABLES COULD IMPACT THE TYPES OF GOALS THAT YOUNG PEOPLE GIVE MORE IMPORTANCE TO. THE PARTICIPANTS WERE 53 YOUNG STUDENTS IN ADDITION TO THE 172 IN STUDY 1, THAT IS, 225 YOUNG STUDENTS (M = 21.8; SD = 3.4), WHO ANSWERED THE SAME INSTRUMENTS AS STUDY 1, ADDED TO THE ASPIRATION INDEX. THE DATA WERE ANALYZED USING DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS, CORRELATIONS BETWEEN VARIABLES, MANN-WHITNEY TEST AND MANOVA. THE RESULTS OF BOTH STUDY SHOW THAT YOUNG BLACK PEOPLE HAVE A LOWER AVERAGE OF THE EVALUATED CONSTRUCTS THAN NON-BLACK YOUNG PEOPLE, CONFIRMING WHAT THE LITERATURE SHOWS. RACISM DID NOT SHOW A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE IMPORTANCE GIVEN TO GOALS, SUGGESTING THAT EXTRINSIC GOALS ARE MORE ASSOCIATED WITH SURVIVAL AND SECURITY.

ABSTRACT
THE RESEARCH IS COMPOSED OF TWO STUDIES, THE FIRST STUDY BEING A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF DETERMINING WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF INTERVENTIONS CARRIED OUT WITH POPULATIONS VICTIMS OF DISASTERS (NATURAL OR MAN-CAUSED), IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, IN BRAZIL. IN THIS STUDY, A TOTAL OF 2743 ARTICLES WERE FOUND, OF WHICH ONLY 17 MET THE INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION CRITERIA. AMONG THE SELECTED ARTICLES, 9 STUDIES PRESENTED SOME TYPE OF INTERVENTION FOR THE PREVENTION, EMERGENCY OR OVERCOMING DISASTERS. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THE STUDIES ARE MOSTLY THEORETICAL AND AIMED AT FOCUS INTERVENTIONS. THE NEED TO DEVELOP LONGITUDINAL STUDIES AND THE APPLICABILITY OF AN INTERVENTION IN POST DISASTER PRACTICE IS OBSERVED. THE SECOND STUDY WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF EVALUATING THE MAIN SOURCES OF PERSONAL AND CONTEXTUAL STRENGTHS AND RESOURCES, WHICH CAN HELP ADOLESCENTS TO DEAL WITH AND OVERCOME A DISASTER EXPERIENCE. THERE WERE 17 ADOLESCENT PARTICIPANTS, AGED BETWEEN 14 AND 18, WHO WERE INVOLVED IN A FIRE AT THE TRAINING CENTER OF A FOOTBALL CLUB IN RIO DE JANEIRO. RESEARCH IS TRANSVERSAL WITH MIXED METHODOLOGY: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE. THE ATHLETES RESPONDED TO THE LIFE SATISFACTION SCALES FOR ADOLESCENTS (EGSV-A), SNYDER HOPE SCALE (DHS), AND SHORT-FORM DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND STRESS SCALE (EDAE[1]21), A SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONNAIRE, IN ADDITION OF A SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEW. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT DESPITE THE EXPERIENCE OF ADVERSITY IN THE LIFE OF THESE ADOLESCENTS, THEY PRESENTED GOOD LEVELS OF WELL-BEING (M=3.97; SD=0.71) AND HOPE (M=4.07; SD=0.40 ). IN ADDITION TO LOW LEVELS OF ANXIETY (M=1.28; SD=0.34), STRESS (M=1.68; SD=0.51) AND DEPRESSION (M=1.5; SD=0.49). THE ADOLESCENTS INDICATED 12 AS THE MAIN CAUSES THAT THEIR BASIC AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS WERE SUPPLIED BY THE FAMILY AND THE INSTITUTION, THEY IDENTIFIED A SUPPORT NETWORK AS A PROTECTION FACTOR, FEELING SAFER AND WELCOME; AND BECAUSE THEY WERE MANAGED TO GIVE A NEW MEANING TO THE EXPERIENCE LIVED, INCLUDING DEMONSTRATING THAT THE ADVERSE SITUATION WAS TRANSFORMED BY THEM, BRINGING A NEW MEANING AND MOTIVATION TO THEIR LIVES.

ABSTRACT
INNOVATION, IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT, DEPENDS ON RESOURCES OF DIFFERENT LEVELS AND NATURE. IN VIEW OF THE SCARCITY OF STUDIES THAT INTEGRATE THESE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES TOGETHER, THIS THESIS SEEKS TO DEPEND THE NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK OF THE INNOVATION PROCESS IN BRAZILIAN ORGANIZATIONS WITH THE INCLUSION OF BACKGROUND OF THE INDIVIDUAL, THE TEAM (COLLEAGUES AND SUPERVISOR), THE ORGANIZATION ITSELF ACTION AND CONTEXT WHICH IT IS PART OF, BY CARRYING OUT FOUR INTERDEPENDENT STUDIES. THE FIRST RESEARCH, CARRIED OUT WITH WORKERS (N = 208) FROM A PUBLIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE, TESTED A PREDICTIVE INNOVATION MODEL. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT EXTERNAL ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS POSITIVELY IMPACTED INNOVATION, WITH THIS RELATIONSHIP BEING MEDIATED ENTIRELY BY INTERNAL ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS. FURTHERMORE, THE SCARCITY OF RESOURCES POSITIVELY MODERATED THIS MEDIATION. CONSIDERING THE NON-EXISTENCE OF VALIDATED INSTRUMENTS IN BRAZIL FOR TWO OF THE CONSTRUCTS INCLUDED IN THE FINAL STUDY, THE SECOND INVESTIGATION (N = 789) PERFORMED CROSS-CULTURAL ADAPTATION AND EVALUATED THE INITIAL EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF THE CREATIVE SELF-EFFICACY SCALE (EAEC) FOR THE CONTEXT ORGANIZATIONAL. THE RESULTS SUPPORTED THE HYPOTHESES ABOUT THE UNI-FACTORIAL INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THE INSTRUMENT WITH GOOD INDEXES OF ADJUSTMENT, RELIABILITY AND EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY. THE THIRD STUDY (N = 619) PERFORMED CROSS-CULTURAL ADAPTATION AND PROVIDED THE VALIDITY OF THE SCALE OF SOCIAL SUPPORT FOR CREATIVITY AT THE TEAM LEVEL (ESSCE) IN A TWO-FACTOR STRUCTURE (SUPERVISOR AND COLLEAGUES). FINALLY, THE FOURTH STUDY WITH KNOWLEDGE WORKERS (N = 1,075) FROM DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS INVESTIGATED THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PERCEIVED RESULT IN INNOVATION WITH ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL TO INNOVATION, SOCIAL SUPPORT FOR CREATIVITY COMING FROM COLLEAGUES (SSCC) AND SUPERVISORS ( SSCS), CREATIVE SELF-EFFICACY (AEC) AND RESOURCE SCARCITY. REGARDING THE RESULT IN INNOVATION, THE FINDINGS SHOWED THE EXPLANATORY RELEVANCE OF INTERNAL ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS AND THE AEC. THUS, BOTH AN ORGANIZATIONAL AND A PERSONAL RESOURCE EXPLAINED THE RESULT IN INNOVATION. IN ADDITION, THE AEC MEDIATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTERNAL ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS AND INNOVATION, AS WELL AS THE SSCS MODERATED THE RELATIONSHIP OF INTERNAL ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS WITH THE AEC. THE RESULTS ALSO CORROBORATED THE EXISTENCE OF MECHANISMS THROUGH WHICH EXTERNAL FACTORS IMPACTED THE AEC AND INTERNAL FACTORS. IN THESE, THE SSCC ACTED AS A MEDIATOR AND THE SSCS AS A MODERATOR BETWEEN THE SSCC AND INTERNAL FACTORS, DENOTING THE TEAM'S RELEVANT ROLE IN INNOVATION. IN RELATION TO THE CONTINGENTIAL FACTOR, THE SCARCITY OF RESOURCES PROVED TO BE A VARIABLE INHIBITING INNOVATION. THEREFORE, INNOVATION IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT SUFFERED INFLUENCES, DIRECT AND INDIRECT, FROM VARIABLES OF THE ORGANIZATION (FACTORS INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL TO INNOVATION), THE TEAM (SSCS AND SSCC), THE INDIVIDUAL (AEC) AND THE CONTEXT (SCARCE OF RESOURCES). IN PARTICULAR, SUCH RESULTS BRING TO THE FORE EMPIRICAL SUBSIDY FOR THE ARTICULATION BETWEEN THE ADOPTED THEORETICAL REFERENCES, HIGHLIGHTING DIFFERENT LEVELS OF ANALYSIS. THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS, AS WELL AS LIMITATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR A FUTURE RESEARCH AGENDA ARE DISCUSSED IN THE LAST STUDY AND IN THE CONCLUSION OF THE THESIS.

ABSTRACT
THE DISSERTATION HAD THE OBJECTIVE OF EVALUATING THE ROLE OF SOCIAL SUPPORT WITHIN THE DYNAMICS OF VICARIOUS TRAUMATIZATION IN PSYCHOLOGISTS AND SOCIAL WORKERS WORKING IN THE PROCESS OF ASSISTANCE TO VICTIMS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE. WITH THIS PURPOSE, A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE OF STUDIES PUBLISHED IN THE LAST 12 YEARS WAS CARRIED OUT; A QUALITATIVE APPROACH STUDY WITH 20 PROFESSIONALS, PSYCHOLOGISTS AND SOCIAL WORKERS THAT ALLOWED TO CHARACTERIZE THE PROCESS OF VICARIOUS TRAUMATIZATION IN THIS SAMPLE; AND A STUDY USING SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS TO EVALUATE THE ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN SOCIAL SUPPORT AND VICARIOUS TRAUMA. THE DISSERTATION ALLOWED US TO CONCLUDE THAT VICARIOUS TRAUMA IS AN OCCUPATIONAL RISK FOR WORKERS WHO WORK IN CARE FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE. IT IS CHARACTERIZED BY BEING A MULTI-LEVEL PROCESS, WHOSE DEVELOPMENTS ARE EXPRESSED AT THE MICRO, MESO AND MACRO LEVEL OF THE SOCIAL STRUCTURE. IT WAS ALSO POSSIBLE TO CONCLUDE THAT SOCIAL SUPPORT WAS THE MAIN PROTECTIVE FACTOR AGAINST VICARIOUS TRAUMA AS A HIGHER DEGREE OF SOCIAL SUPPORT WAS RELATED TO A LOWER LEVEL OF NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF WORKING WITH VICTIMS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE.

ABSTRACT
THIS THESIS AIMS TO IDENTIFY AND DISCUSS CHALLENGES OF DISTANCE GRADUATION IN BRAZIL, ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF THE ROLE OF TUTORING AND THE FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE PERMANENCE AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN THIS MODE. TO ACHIEVE THIS OBJECTIVE, FIVE COMPLEMENTARY STUDIES WERE DEVELOPED. THE FIRST PRESENTS AN OVERVIEW OF DISTANCE EDUCATION (EAD) IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE LIGHT OF A THEORETICAL MODEL FOR EVALUATING EDUCATIONAL ACTIONS, WHICH INCLUDES INPUTS, PROCESSES, PROCEDURES, ENVIRONMENT AND RESULTS. THE MAIN CONCLUSIONS POINT TO AN EXPANSION OF THE MODALITY, DEVELOPMENT OF NEW PEDAGOGICAL RESOURCES DERIVED FROM TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES, CHANGE IN THE SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF THOSE TAKING DISTANCE UNDERGRADUATES AND THE INCREASE OF BLENDED LEARNING. THE SECOND STUDY COMPARES THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF STUDENTS (N = 585) AND TUTOR TEACHERS (N = 405) OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE DISTANCE MODAL REGARDING THE TUTORING FUNCTION. THE RESULTS POINT TO A POSITIVE PERCEPTION OF THE FIGURE OF THE TEACHER TUTOR, WITH A CLEAR PERCEPTION OF THE CENTRAL FUNCTION PERFORMED BY THESE PROFESSIONALS IN THE DISTANCE MODE. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A COMMON CORE OF REPRESENTATIONS, TEACHER TUTORS HIGHLIGHT THEIR ACADEMIC ROLE IN THE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESSES, WHILE STUDENTS ASSOCIATE THE ROLE WITH SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE COURSE. THE THIRD STUDY, IN TURN, INVESTIGATES THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHER TUTORS (N = 405) LINKED TO 145 HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN BRAZIL, 40 OF WHICH ARE PUBLIC AND 105 PRIVATE. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE MAJORITY HAD PREVIOUSLY WORKED IN THE EDUCATIONAL SECTOR AND THAT THEY NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT EVOLUTION IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AFTER ENTERING THE TUTORING ACTIVITY. THE FOURTH STUDY INCLUDES THE LEARNING STRATEGIES OF EAD UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND THE EVALUATION THEY MAKE OF THEIR TUTORS. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THE STRATEGIES OF ACTIVE REFLECTION, SEEKING MATERIAL HELP AND PRACTICAL APPLICATION, AS WELL AS THE POSITIVE EVALUATION OF THE TUTOR'S PERFORMANCE EXPLAIN THE STUDENT'S PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE FIFTH STUDY ADDRESS THE PREDICTORS OF EVASION AND RETAINMENT OF STUDENTS IN DISTANCE UNDERGRADUATE COURSES, HAVING CARRIED OUT DATA COLLECTION WITH STUDENTS FROM DIFFERENT COURSES (N = 645). THE FINAL SAMPLE OVER 30 MONTHS OF FOLLOW-UP (N = 180), ALLOWED TO IDENTIFY THAT THE CHARACTERISTICS OF STUDENTS AND VARIABLES EXOGENOUS TO THE COURSE ARE THE FACTORS THAT EXPLAIN THE PERMANENCE OR EVASION OF DEGREE DEGREE COURSES. FINALLY, DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, WE INCLUDED, AS AN APPENDIX TO THIS THESIS, A SIXTH STUDY WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF INVESTIGATING THE DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS AND ATTITUDES OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS DURING EMERGENCY REMOTE TEACHING (N = 971). THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THOSE WHO DEVELOPED MORE FAVORABLE ATTITUDES TO EAD, SELF-DISCIPLINE AND TECHNOLOGICAL MASTERY DURING EMERGENCY REMOTE TEACHING, TENDED TO PERCEIVE GREATER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DURING THIS PERIOD. TAKING THE STUDIES TOGETHER, THE MAIN CONTRIBUTION OF THIS THESIS IS IN THE REFLECTIONS ON THE PANORAMA AND CHALLENGES OF DISTANCE EDUCATION IN BRAZIL, WITH SUBSIDIES TO RETHINK THE MODALITY IN THE COUNTRY, IN ADDITION TO ENCOURAGING THE CONTINUITY OF RESEARCH ON THIS TOPIC.

ABSTRACT
THE AIM OF THIS STUDY WAS TO IDENTIFY AND DISCUSS THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF BULLYING AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN ORDER TO CONTRIBUTE TO A BETTER CONCEPTION OF THE UNIVERSE OF CONSENSUS AMONG STUDENTS IN RELATION TO THE THREE STAGES THAT MAKE UP THE PHENOMENON OF BULLYING: THE INTENTIONALITY OF THE ACT, THE REPETITION OF AGGRESSION AND THE IMBALANCE OF POWER. IN THIS WAY, THIS WORK WAS DEVELOPED IN FIVE CHAPTERS. THE FIRST CHAPTER AIMS TO PRESENT THE DYNAMICS OF VIOLENCE IN THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT, THEORIES ON SCHOOL VIOLENCE, THE BEHAVIOR OF THE ACT OF INCIVILITY AND THE BULLYING PHENOMENON. THE SECOND PRESENTS THE THEORY OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS AND EMPIRICAL STUDIES. IN THE THIRD SECTION, WE PRESENT THE PROCEDURES USED TO COLLECT THE DATA, THE METHOD AND THE INSTRUMENTS. THE FIRST AND SECOND STUDIES ARE PRESENTED IN THE FOURTH. IN THE LAST CHAPTER, WE PRESENT THE DISCUSSION AND FINAL CONSIDERATIONS OF THE RESEARCH. THE RESEARCH WAS CARRIED OUT WITH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AGED BETWEEN 14 AND 19. A TOTAL OF 100 STUDENTS TOOK PART IN THE RESEARCH. IRAMUTEQ AND EVOC SIMI 2016 SOFTWARE WERE USED TO ANALYZE THE DATA. THE RESULTS WERE OBTAINED FROM THREE SETS OF DATA: PROTOTYPICALITY (ANALYSIS OF EVOCATIONS), SIMILARITY ON THE BASIS OF A CATEGORIZATION OF THE EVOKED RESPONSES; AND FINALLY, CONNECTEDNESS (ANALYSIS OF SIMILARITY) FOUND IN A CHARACTERIZATION QUESTION, WITH TYPICAL ELEMENTS OF INCIVILITY, PREJUDICE AND BULLYING. THE MAIN CONCLUSION POINTS TO THE ELEMENT "POWER IMBALANCE" (PHYSICAL OR SYMBOLIC FORCE) AS THE ELEMENT HIGHLIGHTED BY THE SUBJECTS, THE EFFECT OF WHICH IS "HUMILIATION", A MEANING INDICATED AS MOST LIKELY CENTRAL TO THE STRUCTURE OF BULLYING. THIS ELEMENT IS SURROUNDED BY OTHERS WITH SIGNIFICANT EXPRESSIONS SUCH AS MALICE, EXCLUSION, FEAR AND OTHERS, INDICATING A COMPLEX INTERACTION BETWEEN THE TERMS EVOKED, POINTING TO A REPRESENTATION FOCUSED ON PSYCHOLOGICAL, MORE SYMBOLIC AGGRESSION. IN THIS SENSE, WE CAN INFER THAT, IN GENERAL, THERE IS RECOGNITION OF THE THREE CHARACTERISTICS OF BULLYING PRESENT IN THE LITERATURE, WITH PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS VIOLENT ACT, IN THE SENSE OF WHAT HUMILIATES, DISQUALIFIES AND AFFECTS THE VICTIM IN A DESTRUCTIVE WAY.

ABSTRACT
CASUAL SEX (SC) IS A PRACTICE THAT IS RELATED TO THE SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS, SATISFACTION, DESIRABILITY AND DISTANCES TYPICAL OF A RELATIONSHIP, BUT ALSO TO ASPECTS SUCH AS THE RISK OF SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS, REGRET, UNWANTED PREGNANCY, HARASSMENT AND ABUSE. THEREFORE, THE MORE SOCIALLY COMPETENT A PERSON IS, THE BETTER THEIR SEXUAL HEALTH CAN BE AND THE LOWER THEIR SEXUAL RISKS. THE AIM OF THIS DISSERTATION WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE TOPIC OF SC IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FIELD OF SOCIAL SKILLS (HS), WITH THE AIM OF CONSTRUCTING A SOCIAL SKILLS MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT FOR THE APPROACH TO SC. TO THIS END, TWO STUDIES WERE CARRIED OUT: STUDY ONE, WHICH AIMED TO IDENTIFY YOUNG ADULTS' (JA) CONCEPTIONS OF SC, THE HS NEEDED TO APPROACH SC, AS WELL AS WHERE THEY OCCUR AND WHAT PEOPLE TRY TO DO TO ACHIEVE IT. THUS, TWO FOCUS GROUPS WERE HELD WITH EIGHT MEMBERS EACH (ONE FOR EACH GENDER), WHOSE INCLUSION CRITERIA WERE THAT THEY WERE YOUNG, HETEROSEXUAL, CISGENDER, SINGLE AND NOT IN A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP. FROM THE RESULTS OBTAINED, IT WAS POSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY THE SKILLS OF ASSERTIVENESS, HANDLING CONFLICTS AND SOLVING INTERPERSONAL PROBLEMS, CIVILITY, MAKING AND MAINTAINING FRIENDSHIPS AND COMMUNICATION (VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL) AS CONTRIBUTING TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THESE RELATIONSHIPS; AS WELL AS THE PLACES WHERE THESE APPROACHES TAKE PLACE, SUCH AS THE BEACH, GYM, NIGHTCLUB AND BAR; INFLUENCES SUCH AS DESIRE, EXPECTATION, COMMUNICATION, EDUCATION, ATTITUDE, EMOTIONAL STATE, LIFESTYLE, INTIMACY AND CONTEXT; AND THE SKILLS THAT HINDER PERFORMANCE FOR THIS PURPOSE, SUCH AS POORLY ELABORATED HS, OBJECTIFICATION AND INAPPROPRIATE OR RUDE APPROACHES. STUDY TWO AIMED TO CONSTRUCT AND VALIDATE A MEASURE OF SOCIAL SKILLS FOR SC, CALLED THE INVENTORY OF SOCIOSEXUAL SKILLS (IHSS). TO DO THIS, WE USED THE RESULTS OF STUDY ONE AS A BASIS, AS WELL AS FINDINGS FROM THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE TO CONSTRUCT THE ITEMS FOR THIS INSTRUMENT. IN THIS WAY, 48 ITEMS WERE CREATED AND EVALUATED BY JUDGES WHO WERE EXPERTS IN THE FIELD, AND THEN APPLIED IN THE EMPIRICAL VALIDATION TO 1,464 SUBJECTS. OF THIS TOTAL, 571 MET THE INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION CRITERIA, WHICH WERE THE SAME AS IN THE PREVIOUS STUDY. THE INSTRUMENT WAS APPLIED ONLINE ON THE GOOGLE FORMS PLATFORM TO SAMPLES OF HETEROSEXUAL, CISGENDER, SINGLE MEN WHO WERE NOT IN A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP, SELECTED FOR CONVENIENCE. EXPLORATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS WAS CARRIED OUT, THE ITEMS WERE REDUCED TO 18 AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE MEASURE WAS COMPOSED OF TWO FACTORS: DIRECT SOCIOSEXUAL SKILLS (HSSD) AND INDIRECT SOCIOSEXUAL SKILLS (HSSI). HSSD WAS COMPOSED OF 11 ITEMS (a= 0.81) AND HSSI OF SEVEN (a= 0.67). THE STUDIES CONTRIBUTE MAINLY TO THE PROMOTION OF SEXUAL HEALTH, SINCE A MORE ELABORATE REPERTOIRE OF HS IS RELATED TO LOWER RATES OF SEXUAL RISK.

ABSTRACT
SHARED READING OF CHILDREN'S BOOKS IS A TYPICAL ACTIVITY IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE KINDERGARTEN AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLASSES. IT HAS BEEN A WIDELY RESEARCHED ACTIVITY BECAUSE OF ITS POTENTIAL TO HELP CHILDREN'S READING, LANGUAGE AND SOCIO-EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THIS STUDY AIMS TO OBSERVE THE INTERACTIONS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS DURING THE SHARED READING OF CHILDREN'S BOOKS IN REMOTE CLASSES DURING THE PANDEMIC AND WHETHER TEACHERS EXPAND CHILDREN'S VOCABULARY IN THESE ACTIVITIES. NINE GRADUATE TEACHERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE CLASSES FROM FOUR PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN THE MUNICIPALITIES OF NITERÓI AND SÃO GONÇALO, IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, TOOK PART IN THIS STUDY. FIVE CHILDREN'S STORYBOOKS, SELECTED ACCORDING TO THE AGE GROUP OF THE CHILDREN, WERE USED TO COLLECT THE DATA. WE ALSO USED A SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONNAIRE TO CHARACTERIZE THE SAMPLE. THE TEACHERS WERE INSTRUCTED TO READ THE CHILDREN'S STORIES ACCORDING TO THEIR NORMAL CLASSROOM PROCEDURES. THE 45 READING SESSIONS WERE RECORDED AND THEN TRANSCRIBED MANUALLY. FROM THE TRANSCRIPTS OF THE INTERACTIONS, THE FREQUENCY OF QUESTIONS ASKED BY THE TEACHERS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN EXPANSION OF THE CHILDREN'S VOCABULARY WAS COMPUTED. THESE SENTENCES WERE EVALUATED BY THREE INDEPENDENT JUDGES. THE KAPPA INDEX OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE JUDGES WAS A MODERATE 0.41. THE SENTENCES SELECTED BY THE TWO JUDGES WITH THE HIGHEST AGREEMENT WERE COUNTED AS EXPANDING THE CHILDREN'S VOCABULARY. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT OF THE 189 QUESTIONS, 71 WERE INTENDED TO EXPAND CHILDREN'S VOCABULARY. THESE RESULTS SUGGEST THAT THERE WAS LITTLE INTERACTION IN THE SENSE OF EXPANDING THE CHILDREN'S VOCABULARY. WE HOPE THAT THIS STUDY WILL RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TEACHERS HAVE WORKED WITH STORYBOOKS IN REMOTE EDUCATION AND HELP TO DEVELOP NEW STRATEGIES TO HELP CHILDREN DEVELOP THEIR VOCABULARY.

ABSTRACT
CONTEMPORARY WORKING ENVIRONMENTS HAVE BEEN CHARACTERIZED BY AN INCREASE IN DEMAND, WHICH REQUIRES CONSTANT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE UNIVERSITY CONTEXT, THE CREATIVITY OF WORKERS AND THE WAY WORK IS DESIGNED MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DEVELOPMENT. THE AIM OF THIS DISSERTATION WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE VARIABLES CREATIVITY, TASK CHARACTERISTICS (WORK DESIGN) AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN DIFFERENT WORK SITUATIONS. TO ACHIEVE THIS OBJECTIVE, TWO QUANTITATIVE STUDIES WERE CARRIED OUT. THE FIRST SOUGHT TO COMPARE THE VARIABLES CREATIVE PERFORMANCE AND PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN WORKERS FROM DIFFERENT SECTORS OF ACTIVITY AND RESIDENTS OF THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO (N=324; 64.2% WOMEN), WITH HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION (N=174) AND HIGHER EDUCATION (N=150). THE DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENTS CHOSEN FOR THE RESEARCH - THE CREATIVE IMAGINATION TEST FOR ADULTS AND THE SCALE OF CURRENT PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT - SHOWED EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY, HAVING ALREADY BEEN APPLIED IN BRAZILIAN SAMPLES. THE DATA WAS COLLECTED FACE-TO-FACE IN PAPER AND PENCIL FORMAT. STUDENT'S T-TESTS WERE USED TO ANALYZE THE DATA, AND THE EFFECT SIZE WAS CALCULATED USING COHEN'S D. THE RESULTS OF THE FIRST STUDY SHOWED THAT WORKERS WITH HIGHER EDUCATION HAD HIGHER AVERAGES IN THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND CREATIVE PERFORMANCE. THE DISCUSSION OF THE RESULTS, BASED ON THE LITERATURE REVIEWED, FOCUSES ON THE ROLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF WORKERS. THE SECOND STUDY TESTED A MODEL PREDICTING THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TASK (WORK DESIGN) AND CREATIVE PERFORMANCE ON THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE SAMPLE WAS EXPANDED TO 351 WORKERS (64.4% WOMEN). AS DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENTS, IN ADDITION TO THE TWO USED IN STUDY 1, THE TASK CHARACTERISTICS SCALE (WORK DESIGN) WAS ALSO INCLUDED. THE DATA ANALYSIS INCLUDED A STANDARD MULTIPLE REGRESSION TEST. THE RESULTS CONFIRMED THAT THREE DIMENSIONS OF THE TASK CHARACTERISTICS (PLANNING AUTONOMY, IDENTITY WITH THE TASK, AND TASK FEEDBACK) ARE POSITIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER, THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN THE CREATIVITY AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT VARIABLES WAS NOT CONFIRMED. THESE FINDINGS ALLOW US TO REFLECT ON THE ROLE OF WORK DESIGN IN PEOPLE'S PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, WITH THEORETICAL CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THOSE STUDYING THE SUBJECT AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS FOR WORKERS, MANAGERS AND CAREER COUNSELORS. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDIES CARRIED OUT AND SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH ARE PRESENTED AS THE FINAL ELEMENTS OF THIS DISSERTATION.

ABSTRACT
THE GENERAL AIM OF THIS THESIS WAS TO ANALYZE READING COMPREHENSION IN HIGH SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. IN PARTICULAR, WE OPTED FOR THE COMPREHENSION OF SCIENTIFIC TEXTS, SINCE THERE ARE FEW STUDIES IN THE NATIONAL LITERATURE AND THIS SKILL IS PART OF THE DAILY LIFE OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. TO THIS END, THIS THESIS IS MADE UP OF FOUR STUDIES. THE FIRST STUDY AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE COMPREHENSION OF SCIENTIFIC TEXTS IN THIRD YEAR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN SCIENCE. A TEST WAS DEVELOPED WITH EIGHT QUESTIONS REFERRING TO TWO SHORT TEXTS TAKEN FROM A SCIENCE MAGAZINE. THE PSYCHOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INSTRUMENT WERE EVALUATED AND SHOWED GOOD MEASURES. 100 THIRD-YEAR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM A PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO TOOK PART; THE AVERAGE AGE WAS 16 YEARS AND FOUR MONTHS (SD=0.61). THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THERE WAS A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE CHEMISTRY SUBJECT AND THE SCIENTIFIC TEXT SCORES. IN THE OTHER SUBJECTS THERE WERE NO SIGNIFICANT CORRELATIONS BETWEEN ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND SCIENTIFIC READING COMPREHENSION. ALTHOUGH THE RESULTS ARE NOT CONCLUSIVE, IN GENERAL THEY CORROBORATE THOSE ALREADY FOUND IN THE LITERATURE, WHICH SHOW THAT SCIENTIFIC TEXT COMPREHENSION CONTRIBUTES TO ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. THE SECOND STUDY ANALYZED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COMPREHENSION OF LITERARY TEXTS, THE COMPREHENSION OF SCIENTIFIC TEXTS AND THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF THIRD-YEAR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. 80 THIRD-YEAR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM A PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO TOOK PART; THE AVERAGE AGE WAS 17 YEARS AND ONE MONTH (SD=0.74). THE RESULTS SHOWED POSITIVE AND SIGNIFICANT CORRELATIONS BETWEEN COMPREHENSION OF SCIENTIFIC AND LITERARY TEXTS AND PERFORMANCE IN DIFFERENT SCHOOL SUBJECTS. FURTHERMORE, COMPREHENSION OF SCIENTIFIC AND LITERARY TEXTS WAS ABLE TO PREDICT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, AFTER CONTROLLING FOR INTELLIGENCE LEVEL. THE THIRD STUDY LOOKED AT LITERARY TEXT COMPREHENSION AND SCIENTIFIC READING COMPREHENSION IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE THROUGH A LONGITUDINAL STUDY. 83 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS FROM A PUBLIC INSTITUTION IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO TOOK PART. MEAN AGE WAS 20 YEARS (SD=5.63). THE RESULTS OF THE MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION SHOWED THAT THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION FROM THE COMPREHENSION OF LITERARY TEXTS AND THE LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE. COMPREHENSION OF SCIENTIFIC TEXTS, HOWEVER, DID NOT SHOW A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION. THE FOURTH AND FINAL STUDY COMPARED THE PERFORMANCE OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN TESTS OF COMPREHENSION OF SCIENTIFIC TEXTS AND COMPREHENSION OF LITERARY TEXTS. MEAN DIFFERENCE ANALYSES WERE USED ON THE BASIS OF THE SAMPLES FROM STUDIES TWO AND THREE. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS SCORED STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER IN THE COMPREHENSION OF SCIENTIFIC AND LITERARY TEXTS WHEN COMPARED TO UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. WE HOPE TO CONTRIBUTE TO A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROLE OF READING IN ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT, IN GENERAL, AFTER CONTROLLING FOR NON-VERBAL INTELLIGENCE, COMPREHENSION OF SCIENTIFIC TEXTS AND COMPREHENSION OF LITERARY TEXTS MADE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO STUDENTS' ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE.

ABSTRACT
PROBLEMS ARISING FROM THE USE OF ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE, BOTH IN INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE TERMS. CHARACTERISTICS OF MENTAL DISORDERS RELATED TO SUBSTANCE USE ALLOW IT TO BE CLASSIFIED AS A COMPLEX HEALTH CONDITION THAT INVOLVES BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS AND REQUIRES APPROPRIATE MANAGEMENT BY QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. HOWEVER, THESE PROFESSIONALS OFTEN DEAL WITH THIS HEALTH PROBLEM IN A SIMILAR WAY TO THE GENERAL POPULATION. THIS REFLECTS NEGATIVE ATTITUDES AND A MORALISTIC VIEW, CHARACTERIZED BY STIGMA AND, IN PARTICULAR, FEAR RELATED TO PEOPLE WITH PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH SUBSTANCE USE. THE FEAR OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS IS THEREFORE AN IMPORTANT BARRIER TO TREATMENT, PREVENTING THEM FROM PROVIDING QUALITY CARE AND VIOLATING FUNDAMENTAL PROFESSIONAL VALUES. ONE CHARACTERISTIC THAT CAN SUPPORT VALUED PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE IS PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY. THIS IS USEFUL FOR ADOPTING VALUE-ORIENTED BEHAVIORS, EVEN IN THE FACE OF AVERSIVE CONDITIONS, THUS REPRESENTING A RELEVANT FACTOR FOR ADOPTING CARING BEHAVIORS WHEN WORKING WITH STIGMATIZED POPULATIONS. THE GENERAL AIM OF THIS TWO-CHAPTER DISSERTATION WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE ROLE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY AS AN INFLUENTIAL MECHANISM IN THE MANAGEMENT OF STIGMA AMONG HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. TO THIS END, A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW WAS CARRIED OUT ON PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY AT WORK, IN ORDER TO DESCRIBE THE STATE OF THE ART ON THE CONSTRUCT, HIGHLIGHTING STUDIES FOCUSED ON ITS MEASUREMENT, ASSOCIATION WITH OTHER CONSTRUCTS AND RELATED INTERVENTION PROGRAMS. THEREFORE, IDENTIFYING THE POTENTIAL OF PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY TO PROMOTE BEHAVIORAL EFFICACY IN THE FACE OF AVERSIVE SITUATIONS, CHAPTER 2 PRESENTED THE DATA RESULTING FROM A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL INTERVENTION CARRIED OUT WITH 308 HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, 177 OF WHOM BELONGED TO THE INTERVENTION GROUP (GI), WHICH RECEIVED AN INTERVENTION TO MANAGE STIGMA, AND 131 TO THE ACTIVE CONTROL GROUP (GC), WHICH RECEIVED ONLY A BOOKLET ON THE SUBJECT. BOTH GROUPS WERE EVALUATED BEFORE AND AFTER RECEIVING THE TREATMENT. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT ALLOCATION TO THE GI CONTRIBUTED TO A REDUCTION IN FEAR OF PEOPLE WHO ABUSE SUBSTANCES. PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY, A KEY COMPONENT OF THE INTERVENTION, WAS ASSOCIATED WITH FEAR, BUT COULD NOT BE CONSIDERED THE MECHANISM THROUGH WHICH THE EFFECT OF FEAR REDUCTION OCCURRED. IT IS HOPED THAT THIS INTERVENTION WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE ADOPTION OF OTHER CARING BEHAVIORS BY HEALTH PROFESSIONALS THROUGH THE REDUCTION OF FEAR. THIS STUDY AIMS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE SUBJECT AND TO GUIDE FUTURE INTERVENTIONS FOR WORKING WITH THE PUBLIC IN QUESTION.

ABSTRACT
SHARED READING IS A STRATEGY USED IN THE CLASSROOMS OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE NURSERY AND PRIMARY SCHOOLS WITH DIFFERENT INTENTIONS. THIS STUDY AIMS TO OBSERVE THE INTERACTIONS OF KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST GRADE TEACHERS DURING SHARED READING IN REMOTE CLASSES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON THE QUESTIONS THEY ASK WHILE INTERACTING WITH THEIR STUDENTS. THE INTEREST IS TO VERIFY WHETHER DURING THIS INTERACTION TEACHERS USE THIS MOMENT TO DEVELOP THE CHILDREN'S LANGUAGE AND WHAT POSSIBLE EFFECTS WE CAN OBSERVE IN THIS NEW TEACHING MODALITY. NINE TEACHERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE FIVE- AND SIX-YEAR-OLD STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE LAST YEAR OF NURSERY SCHOOL AND THE FIRST YEAR OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AT FOUR PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN THE MUNICIPALITIES OF NITERÓI AND SÃO GONÇALO, IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, TOOK PART IN THIS STUDY. THE DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURE INVOLVED THE RECORDING OF STORY READING ACTIVITIES AND THE RESULTS WERE GATHERED FROM THE VIDEO AND AUDIO TRANSCRIPTS OF 45 RECORDED REMOTE SHARED READING SESSIONS. THE RESULTS CORROBORATE PREVIOUS STUDIES WHICH SHOW THAT TEACHERS ASK MORE LITERAL QUESTIONS THAN INFERENTIAL QUESTIONS WHEN SHARING STORIES WITH CHILDREN. WE HOPE THAT THIS STUDY WILL HELP TO DEVELOP NEW STRATEGIES USED BY NURSERY AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS IN ORDER TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN'S LANGUAGE SKILLS DURING SHARED READING PRACTICES, AS WELL AS QUESTIONING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS PRACTICE IN THE REMOTE MODE OF TEACHING.

ABSTRACT
THIS DISSERTATION AIMED TO INVESTIGATE RESILIENCE PROCESSES IN TEAMS OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS THAT DEAL WITH CANCER PATIENTS IN A HEMATOLOGICAL SERVICE IN THE CONTEXT OF A PUBLIC HOSPITAL IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. THE RESEARCH WAS CARRIED OUT AND INTEGRATED FROM TWO STUDIES: THE FIRST STUDY AIMED TO PERFORM A SITUATIONAL DIAGNOSIS OF THE DYNAMICS OF CARE AND CARE OF HEMATOLOGY HEALTH PROFESSIONALS DURING THE TREATMENT OF CANCER PATIENTS AT THE HOSPITAL CHOSEN FOR THE INVESTIGATION. A SINGLE CASE STUDY WAS CARRIED OUT UNDER THE THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE OF THE BIOECOLOGICAL MODEL OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT (TBDH). THE DATA WERE COLLECTED AND ORGANIZED BASED ON METHODOLOGICAL STRATEGIES BASED ON ECOLOGICAL INSERTION, WHICH COMPRISED 70 HOURS OF NATURALISTIC OBSERVATIONS AND RECORDS IN A FIELD DIARY. 23 HEALTH PROFESSIONALS FROM THE HEMATOLOGY AREA PARTICIPATED, 18 FIXED AND 5 NON- FIXED. THE DATA WERE ANALYZED FOLLOWING THE PRINCIPLES OF GROUNDED THEORY. THE RESULTS REVEALED AXES THAT DEMONSTRATED ASPECTS: PERSONAL (THE TEAM AND THE SUBJECTIVITY OF THE ACTIONS) ; CONTEXTUAL (TECHNICAL, BUREAUCRATIC, PROTOCOL AND HUMANIZED PROTOCOLS) AND RELATIONAL (FORMS OF COMMUNICATION, PROXIMAL PROCESSES AND PROFESSIONAL PRACTICES). THIS STUDY HIGHLIGHTED THE RELEVANCE OF ECOLOGICAL ENGAGENMENT AS A STRATEGY THAT REVEALS CATEGORIES OF ANALYSIS THAT ALLOW THE UNDERSTANDING OF ELEMENTS ABOUT THE DYNAMICS OF THE INVOLVEMENT OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS WITH HEMATOLOGY PATIENTS. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SERVICE AND CARE WAS EMPHASIZED, WITH THE FIRST ASPECT BEING MORE OBJECTIVE AND FOCUSING ON TECHNICAL, BUREAUCRATIC AND PROTOCOL ELEMENTS AND THE SECOND FOCUSING ON THE SUBJECTIVE SCOPE OF ELEMENTS RELATED TO RESILIENCE IN PROFESSIONALS: SOLIDARITY, HUMOR, AFFECTION, RECIPROCITY AND EMPATHY. THIS ARTICLE WAS SUBMITTED FOR PUBLICATION IN THE JOURNAL “REVISTA DE ENFERMAGEM”. THE SECOND STUDY SOUGHT TO INVESTIGATE AND UNDERSTAND PROFESSIONAL RESILIENCE IN A TEAM OF HEALTH AGENTS BASED ON THE MEANINGS ATTRIBUTED TO THE WORK PERFORMED. A QUALITATIVE SINGLE CASE STUDY WAS CARRIED OUT WITH PROFESSIONALS WORKING IN THE FIELD OF ONCOHEMATOLOGY. 21 PROFESSIONALS PARTICIPATED. DATA WERE COLLECTED USING THE COMIC BOOK TECHNIQUE FOLLOWED BY A COMPLEMENTARY SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEW. THE DATA WERE ANALYZED FOLLOWING THE PRINCIPLES OF GROUNDED THEORY WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE IRAMUTEQ SOFTWARE. THE MEANINGS ATTRIBUTED TO THE WORK BY THE MAJORITY OF THE PARTICIPANTS REVEALED THE VALORIZATION OF THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE PATIENT AND COMMITMENT TO EMPATHETIC AND LOVING CARE AND THE BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE PATIENTS, WHICH IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE THEORETICAL MODEL OF RESILIENCE OF FROMA WALSH, IN THE DIMENSION BELIEF SYSTEMS. REGARDING THE LACK OF MEANING AND ADVERSITY AT WORK, ELEMENTS OF PERSONAL AND RELATIONAL DIFFICULTIES EMERGED WITH NEGATIVE FEELINGS AND BELIEFS THAT CAN DETERMINE ACTIVE OR PASSIVE COPING STRATEGIES BY SEEKING TO SOLVE PROBLEMS. THIS CHARACTERIZES THE RISK SITUATION IN WHICH THESE HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ARE INSERTED. THE INTEGRATION OF THE ANALYZES OF THE TWO STUDIES SUGGEST PROCESSES OF PROFESSIONAL RESILIENCE IN THE TEAM WITH ACTIVE COPING MOBILIZED BY POSITIVE FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS, REITERATED BY THE EXPRESSIONS OF COPING WITH DIFFICULTIES AS POSSIBLE CHALLENGES FOR ACHIEVING COMPREHENSIVE CARE RESULTS FOR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES WITH TRANSFORMATIONS AND LEARNING OF ALL MEMBERS, KEY ELEMENTS OF RESILIENCE.

ABSTRACT
THE CHANGES IN HIGHER EDUCATION ORIGINATED TRANSFORMATIONS IN THE ORGANIZATION OF THE WORK OF THE COLLEGE PROFESSOR, REQUIRING THAT THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT INVOLVE THE PROFESSOR WITH HIS WORK AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS FOR HIS LIFE WERE DISCUSSED. THIS THESIS AIMED TO UNDERSTAND THE ROLE OF THE MEANINGFUL WORK IN THE RELATION WITH THE DEMANDS AND RESOURCES OF WORK, AS WELL AS ITS OUTCOMES FOR THE WELL-BEING OF THE COLLEGE PROFESSOR. A THEORETICAL STUDY AND FOUR EMPIRICAL STUDIES WERE CARRIED OUT, ONE OF WHICH IS COMPLEMENTARY. THE THEORETICAL STUDY PRESENTED THE CONSTRUCTS USED IN THIS THESIS, AS WELL AS FOUNDING THE UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE TRANSFORMATIONS THAT OCCURRED IN HIGHER EDUCATION THROUGH THE ANALYSIS OF THE STATISTICAL SYNOPSES AND THE RESULTS OF THE HIGHER EDUCATION CENSUS IN THE PERIOD FROM 1995 TO 2018. THE SECOND STUDY INVESTIGATED THE COLLEGE PROFESSOR'S PERCEPTION OF THE RESTRUCTURING OF HIS WORK AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR HIS WORK AND PERSONAL LIFE. THROUGH A QUALITATIVE STUDY WITH SIX COLLEGE PROFESSORS, IT WAS EXPLORED THE UNDERSTANDING OF THESE PROFESSIONALS ABOUT THE RESOURCES (PERSONAL AND WORK), DEMANDS, INVESTMENTS FOR REDESIGNING THE WORK AND THEIR PERCEPTIONS ABOUT THE MEANING OF THEIR WORK. THE RESULTS INDICATED THE STRONG INVOLVEMENT AND INVESTMENT THAT THE TEACHER HAS IN RELATION TO HIS PROFESSION. HOWEVER, THE NEW WORK ORGANIZATION HAS LED TO WEAR AND TEAR DUE TO THE IMBALANCE BETWEEN DEMANDS AND RESOURCES. THE FACTORS THAT MITIGATED THE DEMANDS AND PROTECTED THE PROFESSOR'S HEALTH WERE: ACTIONS TO REDESIGN THE WORK IN THE SEARCH FOR A BALANCE BETWEEN DEMANDS AND RESOURCES ; ROLE OF OCCUPATIONAL SELF-EFFICACY AS A PERSONAL RESOURCE AND PERCEPTIONS ABOUT THE MEANINGFUL WORK. THE THIRD STUDY AIMED TO UNDERSTAND THE UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR'S INTERNAL STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION ABOUT THE MEANINGFUL WORK. A QUALITATIVE STUDY WAS CARRIED OUT WITH 559 PROFESSOR FROM ALL OVER BRAZIL, DEVELOPED THROUGH THE ANALYSIS OF THE EVOCATION OF THE INDUCTIVE TERM “SENSE OF WORK”. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE PROFESSOR EXPERIENCES THE MEANINGFUL WORK IN THREE TRANSCENDENT DIMENSIONS, THAT IS, THE LEVEL OF THE TASK ITSELF, THE LEVEL OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF WORK WITH THE INDIVIDUAL AND, FINALLY, THE LEVEL THAT REPRESENTS THE RETURN OF WORK TO THEIR COMMUNITY. THE MEANINGFUL WORK PROVED TO BE A GREAT STRATEGY TO DEAL WITH CONFLICTS, WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO THE PROMOTION OF ENGAGEMENT AND MENTAL HEALTH OF THE COLLEGE PROFESSOR. THE FOURTH STUDY INVESTIGATED HOW OCCUPATIONAL SELF-EFFICACY, WORK DEMANDS AND RESOURCES, THE SENSE OF WORK, THE PERCEPTION OF THE OPPORTUNITY FOR REDESIGN, THROUGH REDESIGN AT WORK, IMPACT ON THE ENGAGEMENT AND POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH OF THE COLLEGE PROFESSOR. TO THIS END, A QUANTITATIVE STUDY WAS CARRIED OUT WITH 712 PROFESSORS FROM ALL OVER BRAZIL. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT OCCUPATIONAL SELF-EFFICACY AND THE SENSE OF WORK ARE THE GREATEST PROMOTERS OF ENGAGEMENT AND POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH. THE COMPLEMENTARY STUDY PRESENTED EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF THE SCALE OF INDICATORS OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL ENVIRONMENT (ICAO) FOR BRAZIL. THE STUDY HAD TWO SAMPLES: 1,325 PARTICIPANTS FOR ICAO-35 AND 559 PARTICIPANTS FOR ICAO-25. THE SET OF STUDIES IN THIS THESIS OFFERS THEORETICAL, METHODOLOGICAL AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO UNDERSTANDING THE MEANINGFUL WORK, DEMANDS AND RESOURCES OF WORK IN PROMOTING THE ENGAGEMENT AND MENTAL HEALTH OF COLLEGE PROFESSOR

ABSTRACT
THIS MASTER'S DISSERTATION DISCUSSES RETIREMENT PREPARATION PROGRAMS (RPP) IN ITS VARIOUS ASPECTS AND STAGES, TAKING TRILHANDO NOVOS CAMINHOS PROGRAM DEVELOPED IN A FEDERAL PUBLIC INSTITUTION OF HEALTH, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AS REFERENCE, SETTING UP AS A CASE OF STUDY. IT STARTS FROM A BROAD THEORETICAL APPARATUS THAT CONTEXTUALIZES AND JUSTIFIES RETIREMENT PREPARATION OR EDUCATION AS A VALUABLE POLICY DIRECTED AT OLDER WORKERS, AND THAT REPRESENTS THE THEORETICAL AND POLITICAL FRAMEWORK THAT UNDERLIES THE CASE DEEPLY DISCUSSED IN THREE STUDIES. IT DISCUSSES THE THEMES AGING, WORK, RETIREMENT AND PROGRAMS AND ACTIONS ABOUT IT. STILL AS PART OF THE INTRODUCTORY THEORETICAL BASIS, WE ADDRESS RELEVANT CONSTRUCTS, SUCH AS ATTITUDES AND RESOURCES FOR RETIREMENT, AS WELL AS PERCEPTION OF WORK. NEXT THERE ARE THREE STUDIES WHOSE GUIDING PRINCIPLE IS THE TRILHANDO NOVOS CAMINHOS PROGRAM. THE FIRST PAPER IS ABOUT THE RPP’S HISTORY, STRUCTURE, METHODOLOGY, THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK (OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH) AND ITS CRITICAL- REFLEXIVE APPROACH INSPIRED IN PAULO FREIRE. THE SECOND PAPER GOES DEEPER INTO THE FIRST STAGES OF THE ACTION PLANNING INCLUDING THE PROPOSAL OF A THREE-DIMENSIONAL DIAGNOSTIC, BASED ON INDIVIDUAL, ORGANIZATIONAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC ELEMENTS. THE THIRD PAPER IS ABOUT EVALUATING THE PROGRAM BASED ON CRITERIA ESTABLISHED BY THE SPECIALIZED LITERATURE. IT ALSO POINTS OUT EVALUATION AND MONITORING DIFFICULTIES IN ORDER TO OUTLINE STRATEGIES FOR OVERCOMING THEM. FINALLY, THE RELEVANCE OF POLICIES THAT TARGET OLDER WORKERS IN THE TRANSITION PERIOD TO RETIREMENT AND THE DIFFICULTIES AND POTENTIALITIES TO SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENT THEM WITH FUNDAMENTAL BENEFIT TO THE WORKER ARE DISCUSSED. STILL, IT POINTS OUT A FUTURE RESEARCH ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENT BASED ON THE PROGRAM AXES AND STAGES OF BEHAVIOR CHANGE WIDELY USED IN HEALTH.

ABSTRACT
AND PROVIDE SATISFACTION. IT PRESENTS ITSELF AS A PARTICULARLY SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE TOTALLY RELATED TO JOB WELL-BEING. THE PRESENT RESEARCH SOUGHT, FIRST, TO ADAPT AND GATHER INITIAL EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF THE WORK AND MEANING INVENTORY - WAMI IN 667 PROFESSIONALS. THE RESULTS OF THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS INDICATED THAT THE BRAZILIAN VERSION OF THE INVENTORY SHOWED BETTER ADJUSTMENT RATES IN THE SINGLE FACTOR STRUCTURE. IN ADDITION, THE LATENT SCORES OF THE SENSE OF WORK SHOWED POSITIVE AND SIGNIFICANT CORRELATIONS WITH THE EXTERNAL VARIABLES OCCUPATIONAL SELF- EFFICACY, INTRINSIC MOTIVATION AND WORK ENGAGEMENT. SUBSEQUENTLY, IN A COLLECTION WITH 351 WORKERS, IT GAVE RISE TO STUDY TWO, WHICH INVESTIGATED THE USE OF FORCED CHOICES FOR THE INVENTORY (WAMI). IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE DATA TO CONTROL ACQUIESCENCE IN THE MODEL OF RANDOM INTERCEPTS. THIS VERSION DID NOT SHOW ANY CORRELATION WITH THE LIKERT VERSION'S COMPLIANCE INDICATORS. THE OTHER INVESTIGATION, STUDY THREE, FOUND THE MEDIATING ROLE OF THE VARIABLE SENSE OF WORK IN THE RELATIONSHIP OF TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP WITH JOB PERFORMANCE AND DEMONSTRATED THAT THE SENSE OF WORK FULLY MEDIATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THESE VARIABLES. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE JOB PERFORMANCE LEVELS WERE EXPLAINED BY TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP. FINALLY, STUDY FOUR SHOWED THAT THE SENSE OF WORK MEDIATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL SUPPORT AND THE JOB PERFORMANCE. IMPLICATIONS FOR STUDIES ARE DISCUSSED AND SUGGESTIONS FOR A FUTURE RESEARCH AGENDA ON THE MEANING OF WORK ARE PRESENTED IN THE CONCLUSION.

ABSTRACT
WORKAHOLISM AND ENGAGEMENT ARE CONSIDERED DIFFERENT STATES OF AFFECTIVE WELL-BEING AT WORK. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO VERIFY HOW THE SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES, THE DEMANDS OF WORK, SOCIAL SUPPORT AND OCCUPATIONAL SELF-EFFICACY EXPLAIN THE RATES OF WORKAHOLISM AND ENGAGEMENT. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF 332 NURSING PROFESSIONALS (NURSES, TECHNICIANS AND ASSISTANTS) WORKING IN SEVERAL HEALTH INSTITUTIONS LOCATED IN THE METROPOLITAN REGION OF THE STATE FROM RIO DE JANEIRO. DESCRIPTIVE ANALYZES OF THE PARTICIPANTS AND CORRELATIONS BETWEEN THE VARIABLES USING SOFTWARE R. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE EDUCATION OF THE PARTICIPANTS PRESENTED A SIGNIFICANT AND POSITIVE CORRELATION WITH THE WEEKLY WORKLOAD, AND THIS WITH THE FACT OF CONTINUING TO STUDY. THE LABOR DEMAND INDICES SHOWED A STRONG CORRELATION AND POSITIVE WITH WORKAHOLISM AND NEGATIVE WITH ENGAGEMENT. OUR FINDINGS SHOW THAT AN OFFER ADEQUATE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT CAN REDUCE DEMAND LEVELS AND INCREASE ENGAGEMENT IN THE WORK OF NURSING PROFESSIONALS.

ABSTRACT
OBESITY IS CONSIDERED A CHRONIC DISEASE OF MULTIDETERMINED CAUSE THAT COMPROMISES AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE INDIVIDUAL. TREATMENT BY BARIATRIC SURGERY IS CONSIDERED THE MOST EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR MORBID OBESITY. INCLUDED IN THE CENTER OF THIS THEME, THIS THESIS AIMED TO EVALUATE THE INVOLVEMENT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL VARIABLES SELF-ESTEEM, SELF-IMAGE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL- BEING IN THE OBESITY PROCESS, IN THE PRE AND POSTOPERATIVE PERIODS. TO ACHIEVE THIS OBJECTIVE, FIVE EMPIRICAL STUDIES WERE DEVELOPED: I) QUALITATIVE STUDY: BASED ON A SAMPLE COMPOSED OF 11 PATIENTS, ANALYZED PSYCHOSOCIAL MOTIVATING ASPECTS IN THE DECISION OF SURGERY THROUGH THREE CATEGORIES: FOOD EDUCATION, FAMILY AND EXTERNAL APPEAL ; MORALIZATION OF OBESITY AND EMOTIONAL ISSUES AND DECISION - HEALTH AND AESTHETICS ; II) THREE QUANTITATIVE STUDIES FOR THE VALIDATION OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL INSTRUMENTS USED IN THE THESIS, ANALYZED BY MEANS OF CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS AND STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING, PRESENTING ADEQUATE PSYCHOMETRIC INDICES FOR THE SAMPLES WORKED, COMPOSED RESPECTIVELY BY (288), (584) AND (293) WOMEN. DUE TO THE SPECIFICITY OF THE SAMPLES, THESE STUDIES ARE UNPRECEDENTED IN BRAZIL ; III) THE FIFTH STUDY, SUPPORTED BY A SAMPLE COMPOSED OF 78 WOMEN VERIFIED THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AGE, BMI, SELF-ESTEEM, BODY IMAGE SATISFACTION, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL- BEING BEFORE AND AFTER BARIATRIC SURGERY. STATISTICAL ANALYZES WERE PERFORMED BY THE TEST T OF STUDENT AND PEARSON CORRELATIONS. IT WAS OBSERVED THAT IN THE POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD THERE WAS AN IMPROVEMENT IN SATISFACTION WITH BODY IMAGE RELATED TO THE REDUCTION OF BMI. HOWEVER, SELF-ESTEEM DID NOT CHANGE AND THE BEP IMPROVED ONLY IN THE SELF-ACCEPTANCE FACTOR. THESE RESULTS INDICATE THAT ALTHOUGH BARIATRIC SURGERY CONTRIBUTES TO THE REDUCTION OF WEIGHT AND BODY VOLUME, IT IS A TREATMENT MODALITY, WHOSE UNDERSTANDING REQUIRES THE ADOPTION OF A PERSPECTIVE THAT SURPASSES THE DICHOTOMOUS LOOK AT THE PHASES THAT COMPOSE IT AND THAT CONSIDERS OBESITY AS A COMPLEX PROCESS, BECAUSE IT INVOLVES PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CHANGES, DOES NOT END WITH THE MERE REDUCTION OF WEIGHT. IT IS SUGGESTED, THE INTENSIFICATION THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY WORK IN NUTRITIONAL EDUCATION AND PSYCHOSOCIAL RESTRUCTURING OF PATIENTS BEFORE AND AFTER SURGERY, BECAUSE THEY ARE FUNDAMENTAL MECHANISMS TO PROMOTE ASSIMILATION AND PERMANENCE OF THE CHANGES IN THE LONG TERM. THUS, OPENING UP EFFECTIVE POSSIBILITIES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW BODY REPRESENTATION, ANCHORED IN A MORE POSITIVE AND SATISFACTORY CORRELATION BETWEEN THE CONCEPTS OF SELF-ESTEEM AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING.

ABSTRACT
ACCORDING TO THE EMPLOYEE WORK PASSION APPRAISAL MODEL AND THE JOB DEMANDS AND RESOURCES MODEL, INDIVIDUAL AND CONTEXTUAL ANTECEDENTS IMPACT THE PASSION FOR WORK WHICH, IN TURN, WILL AFFECT DIFFERENT WORK OUTCOMES. BASED ON THESE MODELS, THE THESIS SOUGHT TO DEEPEN THE NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK OF PASSION FOR WORK IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT, BY CONDUCTING FOUR STUDIES. THE FIRST AIMED TO ADAPT AND GATHER INITIAL VALIDITY EVIDENCES OF INTERNAL STRUCTURE AND OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH EXTERNAL VARIABLES OF THE SERVANT LEADERSHIP SCALE, IN 432 BRAZILIAN EMPLOYEES. CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS INDICATED THAT THE ADJUSTED MODEL OF EIGHT CORRELATED FACTORS WAS THE ONE WITH THE BEST FIT INDEXES. IN RELATION TO EXTERNAL VARIABLES, MOST DIMENSIONS OF SERVANT LEADERSHIP SHOWED CORRELATIONS WITH AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP, WITH WORK ENGAGEMENT AND WITH AFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT. THE SECOND STUDY AIMED TO ADAPT AND GATHER INITIAL VALIDITY EVIDENCES OF THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE AND OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH EXTERNAL VARIABLES OF THE INVENTORY OF WORK INTENTIONS, IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT, WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF 422 EMPLOYEES. THE RESULTS OF THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS SHOWED THAT THE MODEL OF FIVE CORRELATED AND ADJUSTED FACTORS WAS THE ONE THAT OBTAINED THE BEST FIT INDEXES. POSITIVE CORRELATIONS WERE FOUND BETWEEN WORK INTENTIONS AND CIVIC BEHAVIOR AND THE PERFORMANCE OF WORK ROLES, AND NEGATIVE CORRELATIONS WITH THE INTENTION OF ROTATION. THE THIRD STUDY FOCUSED ON THE ASSESSMENT OF THE MEDIATING ROLE OF HARMONIOUS PASSION FOR WORK IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SERVANT LEADERSHIP AND WORK INTENTIONS, IN A LONGITUDINAL STUDY IN THREE WAVES, WITH AN INTERVAL OF THREE MONTHS BETWEEN THEM (T1, T2 AND T3) . THE TOTAL SAMPLE IN T1 WAS COMPOSED OF 479 EMPLOYEES AND THE RESULTS OF THE STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING WITH AUTOREGRESSIVE CROSS-LAGGED SHOWED THAT THE SERVANT LEADERSHIP IN T1 WAS POSITIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE WORK INTENTIONS EVALUATED IN T2 AND T3. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A NEGATIVE PARTIAL MEDIATION OF HARMONIOUS PASSION FOR WORK IN T2, IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SERVANT LEADERSHIP IN T1 AND WORK INTENTIONS IN T3. FINALLY, THE FOURTH AND FINAL STUDY AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE MEDIATION OF HARMONIOUS PASSION FOR WORK IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORK COGNITIONS AND JOB CRAFTING BEHAVIORS, AS WELL AS THE MODERATING ROLE OF WORK MOTIVATION IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORK COGNITIONS AND HARMONIOUS PASSION FOR WORK. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF 543 BRAZILIAN EMPLOYEES AND THE STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING SHOWED THAT THE HARMONIOUS PASSION FOR WORK PARTIALLY MEDIATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORK COGNITIONS AND JOB CRAFTING BEHAVIORS. ONLY INTROJECTED MOTIVATION HAS NEGATIVELY MODERATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE DIMENSION OF WORK COGNITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH AUTONOMY AND THE HARMONIOUS PASSION FOR WORK. IN THE FINAL CONSIDERATIONS, THE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS NOW OBTAINED ARE DISCUSSED.

ABSTRACT
THIS DISSERTATION AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE ECOLOGICAL TRANSITION PROCESSES THAT CAN OCCUR WHEN STUDENTS MOVE FROM THE SOCIAL ADDRESS TO A PUBLIC COLLEGE DORM. THE RESEARCH WAS STRUCTURED IN TWO STUDIES, THE FIRST FOCUSED ON THE EVALUATION OF THE ROLE OF SOCIAL SKILLS (SS) IN THE PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING (PWB) OF STUDENTS. A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY WAS CONDUCTED WITH 50 STUDENTS AT THE TIME THEY ENTERED THE FACILITIES (PRE) AND AFTER SIX MONTHS (POST). PARTICIPANTS ANSWERED A SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONNAIRE, SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY 2 AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING SCALE. THE RESULTS INDICATED A SLIGHT REDUCTION IN THE OVERALL AVERAGE OF SOCIAL SKILLS SCORES AFTER 6 MONTHS (T (49) = 1.25, P> 0.05). PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING SCORES WERE ALSO REDUCED, BUT THEIR MEAN DIFFERENCE WAS OF GREATER MAGNITUDE AND SIGNIFICANT (T (49) = 2.504, P<0.05) THAN THE MEAN DIFFERENCE OF THE SOCIAL SKILL SCORES. AT BOTH TIME POINTS, SOCIAL SKILLS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING WERE STRONGLY AND POSITIVELY CORRELATED (PRE: R = 0.634, P<0.001 ; POST: R = 0.762, P<0.001). THE EFFECT OF TIME (R = 0.05, P>0.05) OVER PWB IS REDUCED WHEN THE SS PARAMETERS ARE KEPT CONSTANT. IN ADDITION, THE EFFECT OF SS WAS SIGNIFICANT (P<0.001) AND MODERATE (R = 0.28). THE STUDY SUGGESTS THAT A MORE DEVELOPED SOCIAL SKILL REPERTOIRE ASSUMES A PROTECTIVE ROLE IN PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING. THE SECOND ONE INVESTIGATE THE PROCESSES OF ECOLOGICAL TRANSITION TAKE IN PLACE BY THE STUDENTS WHEN MOVED FROM THE SOCIAL ADDRESS TO A COLLEGE DORM TO THIS END, A QUALITATIVE EXPLORATORY STUDY WAS CONDUCTED CONSISTING OF INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEWS CONDUCTED IN TWO STAGES WITH 10 PARTICIPANTS. THE FIRST OCCURRED BEFORE ENTERING THE COLLEGE DORM AND THE SECOND AFTER 6 MONTHS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE NEW CONTEXT. THE CONTESTS WERE ANALYZED BASED ON GROUNDED THEORY. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT STUDENTS COME TO THE HOUSE IN SEARCH OF FINANCIAL SECURITY, PERSONAL PROTECTION AND ACADEMIC SUCCESS. THEY DEVELOP SOCIALIZING STRATEGIES TO COPE WITH THE TRANSITION FROM SOCIAL ADDRESS TO COLLECTIVE LIFE AND ESTABLISH FRIENDLY RELATIONSHIPS. THE EFFECTS OF LIVING TOGETHER CAN BE SEEN IN THE PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT OF THESE STUDENTS WHO CLAIM TO HAVE ACHIEVED AUTONOMY, FREEDOM, RESPONSIBILITY, TOLERANCE, PATIENCE AND EMPATHY. 70% OF RESPONDENTS SAY THAT WELL-BEING HAS BEEN POSITIVELY AFFECTED BY LIVING IN COLLEGE DORM. IN CONCLUSION, DESPITE THE DIFFERENT METHODOLOGICAL STRATEGIES OF THE STUDIES PRESENTED HERE, IT IS DEMONSTRATED THAT THE ECOLOGICAL TRANSITION FROM SOCIAL ADDRESS TO UNIVERSITY HOUSING IS PERMEATED BY POSITIVE SOCIO-EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS THAT GENERATE WELL-BEING FOR A SIGNIFICANT GROUP OF STUDENTS.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THREE SPECIFIC TYPES OF CONTEMPORARY CAREERS (BOUNDARYLESS CAREER, PROTEAN CAREER AND KALEIDOSCOPIC CAREER) WITH OCCUPATIONAL SELFEFFICACY AND CAREER ENGAGEMENT. THE STUDY INCLUDED 300 PROFESSIONALS, OF BOTH SEXES, WITH AN AVERAGE AGE OF 38.66 YEARS OLD (SD = 13.15). THE INSTRUMENTS USED WERE TWO QUESTIONNAIRES (CAREER QUESTIONNAIRE AND SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC AND LABOR QUESTIONNAIRE), THREE CAREER SCALES (BOUNDARYLESS CAREER SCALE, PROTEAN CAREER ATTITUDE SCALE, THE KALEIDOSCOPIC CAREER
PARAMETER SCALE), THE ENGAGEMENT SCALE WITH THE CAREER AND THE OCCUPATIONAL SELF-EFFICACY SCALE. NETWORK ANALYZES WERE CONDUCTED WITH THE R SOFTWARE AND INDICATED POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MOST CONSTRUCTS. THE RESULTS OBTAINED INDICATED THAT THE CAREER WITHOUT BORDERS IS POSITIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH OCCUPATIONAL SELF-EFFICACY AND CAREER ENGAGEMENT. ONLY THE ASSOCIATION OF THE PROTEAN CAREER WITH OCCUPATIONAL SELF-EFFICACY WAS VERIFIED, WITH NO RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THIS CAREER AND CAREER ENGAGEMENT. IT WAS ALSO OBSERVED THAT THE DIMENSION OF KALEIDOSCOPIC CAREER GROWTH IS POSITIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH ENGAGEMENT, WHICH IS THE MOST INTENSE RELATIONSHIP FOUND IN THE NETWORK. IN ADDITION TO BEING POSITIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH ENGAGEMENT, THE GROWTH DIMENSION IS ALSO POSITIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-EFFICACY. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE PROTEAN CAREER IS POSITIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE AUTHENTICITY DIMENSION OF THE KALEIDOSCOPIC CAREER. THERE WAS NO RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BOUNDARYLESS CAREER, THE PROTEAN CAREER, AND THE GROWTH DIMENSION OF THE KALEIDOSCOPIC CAREER, DIFFERENTLY FROM WHAT WAS EXPECTED. OCCUPATIONAL SELF-EFFICACY WAS SHOWN TO BE POSITIVELY RELATED TO CAREER ENGAGEMENT. THE MAIN CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE STUDY REFER TO THE RELEVANCE OF THE DIMENSIONS OF AUTHENTICITY AND GROWTH OF KALEIDOSCOPIC CAREERS, CAREER ENGAGEMENT AND OCCUPATIONAL SELF-EFFICACY, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE CONSIDER THE CURRENT MOMENT OF ECONOMIC CRISIS AND PROFOUND CHANGES IN THE LABOR MARKET. THE PROMOTION OF ACTIVITIES THAT STRENGTHEN THESE CONSTRUCTS IS IMPORTANT, SINCE INDIVIDUALS WITH HIGH RATES OF THESE VARIABLES TEND TO BE MORE TRAINED TO DEAL WITH THE ADVERSITIES AND INCONSTANCES OF THIS CONTEXT. IT IS OBSERVED THAT THESE DIMENSIONS CAN BE DEVELOPED THROUGH ACTIONS IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL SCOPE (EG. PEOPLE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS SUCH AS TALENT RETENTION AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS), AS WELL AS, IN THE SCOPE OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT (EG. CAREER COUNSELING AND PROFESSIONAL ORIENTATION). IT IS SUGGESTED THAT FUTURE STUDIES INVESTIGATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERVENTIONS FOR STRENGTHENING GROWTH, OCCUPATIONAL SELF-EFFICACY AND CAREER ENGAGEMENT

ABSTRACT
CAREER ENGAGEMENT IS ASSOCIATED WITH PROACTIVE BEHAVIORS CAPABLE OF ENHANCING CAREER DEVELOPMENT. BASED ON THE CAREER ENGAGEMENT MODEL AND THE JOB DEMANDS AND RESOURCES MODEL, THE THESIS DEEPENED THE NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK OF CAREER ENGAGEMENT IN BRAZILIAN MILITARY, BY CONDUCTING FOUR STUDIES. THE FIRST INVESTIGATION ADAPTED AND GATHERED INITIAL EVIDENCE OF THE VALIDITY OF INTERNAL STRUCTURE AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH EXTERNAL VARIABLES IN THE APPROXIMATION AND AVOIDANCE TEMPERAMENT QUESTIONNAIRE (ATQ), IN 453 BRAZILIAN WORKERS. CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS INDICATED THAT THE ADJUSTED MODEL OF TWO UNCORRELATED FACTORS WAS THE ONE THAT OBTAINED THE BEST ADJUSTMENT INDEXES, CONFIRMING THE ORIGINAL MODEL OF THE INSTRUMENT. IN ADDITION, THE DIMENSIONS OF APPROACH AND AVOIDANCE SHOWED, RESPECTIVELY, LOW POSITIVE CORRELATIONS AND LOW TO MODERATE NEGATIVE CORRELATIONS, WITH ENGAGEMENT AT WORK, CAREER ADAPTABILITY AND THE PERFORMANCE OF ROLES AT WORK. THE SECOND STUDY ADAPTED AND GATHERED EVIDENCE OF THE VALIDITY OF INTERNAL STRUCTURE AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH EXTERNAL VARIABLES OF THE CAREER ENGAGEMENT SCALE (CES), IN THE BRAZILIAN MILITARY CONTEXT, WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF 467 MILITARY. EXPLORATORY AND CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS SHOWED THAT THE FIRST ORDER TWO-FACTOR MODEL (CAREER PLANNING AND SEARCH FOR PROFESSIONAL OPPORTUNITY), WITH A SECOND-ORDER FACTOR (CAREER ENGAGEMENT), WAS THE ONE WITH THE BEST ADJUSTMENT INDEXES. THESE RESULTS DIFFERED FROM THE ORIGINAL MODEL OF THE SCALE, WHICH IS OF A SINGLE FACTOR NATURE. THE SCALE HAD A HIGH POSITIVE CORRELATION WITH CAREER ADAPTABILITY AND A MODERATE POSITIVE CORRELATION WITH SELF-EFFICACY, CAREER SATISFACTION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE THIRD RESEARCH INVESTIGATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VIRTUOUS LEADERSHIP AND WELL-BEING AT WORK, OPERATIONALIZED BY JOB SATISFACTION AND POSITIVE AFFECTS DIRECTED TO WORK, AND THE MEDIATING ROLE OF CAREER ENGAGEMENT IN THESE RELATIONSHIPS. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF 476 MILITARY AND THE STRUCTURAL EQUATIONS MODELING SHOWED THAT VIRTUOUS LEADERSHIP POSITIVELY INFLUENCED JOB SATISFACTION AND POSITIVE AFFECTS DIRECTED TO WORK, WITH CAREER ENGAGEMENT PARTIALLY MEDIATING BOTH RELATIONSHIPS. THE FOURTH AND FINAL STUDY LOOKED AT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE APPROACH TEMPERAMENT AND THE ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES OF CONSERVATISM WITH CAREER ENGAGEMENT AND THE EFFECT OF THE LATTER ON CAREER CONFIDENCE AND BEHAVIORS TO INCREASE STRUCTURAL RESOURCES AT WORK, IN ADDITION TO THE MEDIATOR ROLE OF CAREER ENGAGEMENT AND THE MODERATING ROLE OF THE INTENTION TO LEAVE THE ORGANIZATION IN THESE RELATIONSHIPS, IN A SAMPLE OF 433 MILITARY. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE APPROACHING TEMPERAMENT WAS POSITIVELY RELATED TO CAREER ENGAGEMENT, WHILE CONSERVATISM VALUES WERE NEGATIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH CAREER ENGAGEMENT. IN ADDITION, CAREER ENGAGEMENT MEDIATED THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE APPROACH TEMPERAMENT AND CONSERVATISM VALUES WITH CAREER CONFIDENCE AND THE BEHAVIOR OF INCREASING STRUCTURAL RESOURCES AT WORK, WHILE THE INTENTION TO LEAVE THE ORGANIZATION MODERATED THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE APPROACH TEMPERAMENT AND CONSERVATISM VALUES WITH CAREER ENGAGEMENT. IN THE FINAL CONSIDERATIONS, THE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS NOW OBTAINED ARE DISCUSSED.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY AIMED AT INVESTIGATING WHETHER HOME LITERACY PRACTICES HELP IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRECURSORS TO LITERACY AND WHETHER THE DIFFERENT STYLES OF INTERACTION DURING READING ACTIVITIES INFLUENCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE PRECURSORS. THUS, PARENTS WERE PROVIDED WITH A HOME LITERACY ACTIVITY JOURNAL SURVEY, POINTING OUT THE TIME SPENT ON THESE ACTIVITIES DURING THE WEEK, ALONGSIDE WITH PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS, KNOWLEDGE OF THE ALPHABET AND VOCABULARY TESTS. THE SURVEY ENCOMPASSED INFORMATION ABOUT CHILDREN AGED FOUR AND FIVE YEARS-OLD, WHO ATTENDED THE LAST YEAR OF PRESCHOOL IN FOUR PRIVATE SCHOOLS LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NITERÓI. IN TOTAL, 43 FAMILIES PARTOOK IN THE RESEARCH. FOR DATA ANALYSIS, SPEARMAN CORRELATIONS WERE DRAWN SO AS TO CONNECT THE TIME SPENT ON HOME LITERACY ACTIVITIES AND THE SCORES ON THE LITERACY PRECURSOR TESTS AND THE STUDENT T-TEST FOR THE PURPOSE OF COMPARING STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE TO THE READING STYLE ADOPTED BY THE FAMILY. IN SUMMARY, THE RESULTS REVEALED THAT THERE WAS NO SIGNIFICANT CORRELATION BETWEEN THE TIME SPENT IN HOME LITERACY ACTIVITIES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRECURSORS OF THE READING AND WRITING ABILITIES. ADDITIONALLY, AS FAR AS THE READING INTERACTION STYLES ARE CONCERNED, IN GENERAL, A BETTER RESULT CAN BE OBTAINED THROUGH THE FOCUS ON THE FOLLOWING SKILLS: PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS AND VOCABULARY. THE ADOPTED STYLE DESCRIBED AS 2, HIGHLIGHTS A CONSISTENT AND WELL-STRUCTURED READING PRACTICE WITH FEW INTERRUPTIONS FOR VOCABULARY AND MEANING EXPLANATIONS COMPARED TO OTHER STYLES, AS 1 READS THE TEXT FAITHFULLY WITH INTERRUPTIONS, AS 3 ADAPTS WHAT IS WRITTEN TO THE LANGUAGE THE CHILD CAN FOLLOW WHILE NOT BEING FAITHFUL TO THE TEXT. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT THE RESULTS OBTAINED CONTRIBUTE TO SHEDDING LIGHT ON THE IMPORTANCE OF READING AND PROVIDING FAMILIES WITH GUIDANCE BY THE MEANS OF USING PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES TO OBTAIN BETTER RESULTS.

ABSTRACT
ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY IMPOSES ON THE STUDENT OR FACES SEVERAL CHANGES IN HIS ACADEMIC, SOCIAL AND PERSONAL CONTEXT. FACED WITH THESE NEW DEMANDS OR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, WHO BELIEVE IN THEIR NEEDS HAVE A GREATER CHANCE OF INVOLVING AND DEVELOPING NEW SKILLS AND ABILITIES. THOSE WHO DEVELOP AVOID HAVING TO DEAL WITH THESE NEW THREATS, THEY MAY FACE PROBLEMS IN ADAPTING TO HIGHER EDUCATION. THUS, THIS RESEARCH AIMED TO IDENTIFY THE STUDENTS' PERCEPTION OF ACADEMIC PROCRASTINATION IN THEIR ADAPTATION PROCESS, AS WELL AS TO UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ACADEMIC PROCRASTINATION, ACADEMIC SELF-EFFICACY AND ADAPTATION TO HIGHER EDUCATION. THIS RESEARCH UNFOLDS IN TWO STUDIES, THE FIRST THAT RESEARCHED, IN A QUALITATIVE STUDY, THE STUDENTS' PERCEPTION ABOUT PROCRASTINATION IN THEIR EXPERIENCE IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION COURSE, AND THE SECOND THAT ANALYZED, IN A QUANTITATIVE WAY, HOW THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE VARIABLES PROCRASTINATION, SELF- EFFICACY AND ACADEMIC ADAPTATION AND SOUGHT TO VERIFY OR ENABLE CHANGES IN THE INTEGRATION PROCESS AT THE UNIVERSITY. EIGHT HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, FROM DIFFERENT UNDERGRADUATE COURSES PARTICIPATED IN THE FIRST STUDY. IN THE SECOND STUDY, 508 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS PARTICIPATE, WITH 125 (24.6%) FROM THE PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION (HEI) AND 383 (75.4%) FROM THE PUBLIC HEI, WITH AN AVERAGE AGE OF 23.54 (SD = 6, 79), COMPOSED OF 65% WOMEN. IN DATA COLLECTION, THE FOCAL GROUP TECHNIQUE WAS USED FOR THE FIRST STUDY, IN THE SECOND, CORRELATIONAL AND PREDICTIVE DESIGN, THE FOLLOWING INSTRUMENTS WERE USED: THE ESCALA DE MOTIVOS DA PROCRASTINAÇÃO ACADÊMICA- EMPA, THE ESCALA DE AUTOEFICÁCIA NA FORMAÇÃO SUPERIOR - AEFS AND THE QUESTIONÁRIO DE ADAPTAÇÃO AO ENSINO SUPERIOR - QAES. THE RESULTS OF STUDY I IDENTIFIED SIX CATEGORIES ABOUT PROCRASTINATION AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, WHICH ARE RELATED TO THE DIFFICULTY OF ACTING AS PLANNED, POOR PERFORMANCE, NEGATIVE EMOTIONS AND THOUGHTS, SUPERFICIAL LEARNING OF THE CONTENTS AND INSECURITY TO INTERACT SOCIALLY WITH PEERS AND TEACHERS. IN STUDY II, THERE WAS A POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE VARIABLES SELF-EFFICACY AND ACADEMIC ADAPTATION AND THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF PROCRASTINATION IN THESE CONSTRUCTS. IN THIS SENSE, THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT STUDENTS WITH A GOOD LEVEL OF ACADEMIC ADAPTATION ALSO HAVE A GREATER SENSE OF ACADEMIC SELF-EFFICACY AND THAT THOSE WHO HAVE MORE PROCRASTINATORY BEHAVIORS MAY HAVE GREATER DIFFICULTY IN THE ADJUSTMENT PROCESS TO THE UNIVERSITY AND LITTLE SENSE OF SELF- EFFICACY. BOTH SELF-EFFICACY AND PROCRASTINATION WERE PREDICTORS OF ADAPTATION, EXPLAINING 49% OF THIS VARIABLE.

ABSTRACT
STUDIES IN THE EDUCATIONAL AREA REVEAL THAT THE SCHOOL CLIMATE INTERFERES IN THE LIFE AND LEARNING OF STUDENTS, THUS, THIS RESEARCH SOUGHT TO: 1) IDENTIFY THE PERCEPTION OF SCHOOL CLIMATE IN STUDENTS OF THE 9TH GRADE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND 1ST OF THE YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL, IN THE TECHNICAL COURSES AND GENERAL TRAINING OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO ; 2) TO COMPARE THE PERCEPTION OF SCHOOL CLIMATE IN THE STUDENTS OF THESE GROUPS AND 3) TO INTERVENE IN THE SCHOOL CLIMATE. STUDY I HAD THE OBJECTIVES: TO CORRELATE WITH THE VARIABLES SOCIAL SKILLS, MOTIVATION TO LEARN AND SCHOOL CLIMATE ; IDENTIFY THE IMPACT OF EXPLANATORY VARIABLES ON THE SCHOOL CLIMATE AND COMPARE THE SCHOOL CLIMATE, SOCIAL SKILLS AND MOTIVATION TO LEARN AMONG THE GROUPS OF STUDENTS OF THE 9TH GRADE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND THE 1ST YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL AND BETWEEN THE GROUPS OF THE 1ST YEAR OF TECHNICAL COURSES AND GENERAL TRAINING. THE STUDY INCLUDED 384 STUDENTS FROM THE 9TH GRADE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND 393 FROM THE 1ST YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL, 169 FROM THE TECHNICAL COURSE AND 166 FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN RIO DE JANEIRO. THE FOLLOWING INSTRUMENTS WERE APPLIED: SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONNAIRE, INVENTORY OF SOCIAL SKILLS FOR ADOLESCENTS, MOTIVATION ASSESSMENT SCALE TO LEARN FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND CLIMATE SCALE OF THE DELAWARE SCHOOL-STUDENT. FOR DATA ANALYSIS, PEARSON CORRELATION, MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION AND STUDENT T-TEST TESTS WERE PERFORMED. A POSITIVE AND WEAK ASSOCIATION WAS OBSERVED BETWEEN MOTIVATION TO LEARN AND SCHOOL CLIMATE. MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION INDICATED THAT MOTIVATION TO LEARN WAS A PREDICTOR OF SCHOOL CLIMATE. THE TESTE RESULT SHOWED THAT THE STUDENTS OF THE TECHNICAL COURSE PRESENTED A HIGHER SCORE IN RELATION TO THE STUDENTS OF THE GENERAL TRAINING COURSE IN THE VARIABLES SOCIAL SKILLS AND MOTIVATION TO LEARN AND IN THE RELATIONSHIP DIMENSION BETWEEN STUDENTS OF THE SCHOOL CLIMATE. IT ALSO REVEALED THAT THE 1ST YEAR STUDENTS PRESENTED HIGHER SCORES IN RELATION TO 9TH GRADERS IN THE FACTORS EMPATHY, INTRINSIC MOTIVATION, BULLYING AND RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STUDENTS. IN RELATION TO STUDY II, THE OBJECTIVE WAS TO IDENTIFY THE EFFECTS OF A SCHOOL CLIMATE INTERVENTION THROUGH A SOCIAL SKILLS TRAINING WITH STUDENTS IN THE LAST YEAR OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THE PARTICIPANTS WERE 21 SUBJECTS, 11 FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP AND 10 FOR THE CONTROL GROUP, AGED 14 AND 16 YEARS (MD=14,38 ; SD =1.07), OF BOTH SEXES, ALL STUDENTS OF THE 9TH GRADE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THE MEMBERS WERE SELECTED FOR CONVENIENCE FROM THE POPULATION OF 90 ADOLESCENTS. THE INSTRUMENTS USES IN THE PRE AND POST INTERVENTION WERE THE INVENTORY OF SOCIAL SKILLS FOR ADOLESCENTS AND THE CLIMATE SCALE OF THE DELAWARE-STUDENT SCHOOL. TEN SESSIONS WERE HELD ONCE A WEEK, LASTING 50 MINUTES. SPEARMAN ́S RÔ TEST WAS USES TO VERIFY THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE DIMENSIONS OF THE SCHOOL CLIMATE AND THE FACTORS OF SOCIAL SKILLS BEFORE AND AFTER THE INTERVENTION OF THE GROUPS. MANN-WHITNEY TESTS WERE PERFORMED FOR INDEPENDENT SAMPLES BETWEEN THE INTERVENTION AND CONTROL GROUPS BEFORE AND AFTER THE INTERVENTION. TO COMPARE THE INDIVIDUAL RESULTS BEFORE AND AFTER THE TRAINING, THE JT METHOD WAS USES. MODERATE TO STRONG POSITIVE CORRELATIONS WERE OBSERVED BETWEEN SOCIAL SKILLS FACTORS AND CLIMATE DIMENSIONS FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS IN THE INTERVENTION GROUP. IN THE CONDITION OF THE CONTROL GROUP, NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE CORRELATIONS WERE OBSERVED. REGARDING THE RESULTS OF THE JT METHOD, THE WAS A RELIABLE CHANGE IN THE DIMENSIONS OF THE SCHOOL CLIMATE FOR THE INDIVIDUALS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE INTERVENTION, IN THE PRE AND POST TRAINING MOMENTS. OF THE ELEVEN PARTICIPANTS, SIX PRESENTED RELIABLE CHANGE AND TWO PARTICIPANTS HAD DECREASED PERCEPTION OF SAFETY AS SCHOOL, WITH CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE AND ONE PARTICIPANT INCREASED IN THIS DIMENSION, TWO PARTICIPANTS, TWO PARTICIPANTS HAS AN INCREASE IN THE CLARITY AND FAIRNESS OF RULES, ONE HAD AN INCREASE IN THE STUDENT TEACHER RELATIONSHIP, ONE HAD AN INCREASE IN ENGAGEMENT, IN ONE THERE WAS A DECREASE IN THIS DIMENSION AND TWO PARTICIPANTS HAD AN INCREASE IN THE PERCEPTION OF BULLYING. IN THE FACTORS OF THE SOCIAL SKILLS OF THE STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE TRAINING, THERE WAS A RELIABLE CHANGE IN SIX PARTICIPANTS, IN THE PRE AND POST-TEST MOMENTS, ONE PARTICIPANT SHOWED AN INCREASE IN EMPATHY AND IN ANOTHER THERE WAS A DECREASE IN SELF-CONTROL, TWO HAD AN INCREASE IN ASSERTIVENESS AND ON SHOWED A DECREASE IN THIS FACTOR, ONE PARTICIPANT HAD AN INCREASE IN SOCIAL RESOURCE FULLNESS AND IN ANOTHER THERE WAS A DECREASE IN THIS FACTOR AND FINALLY, ONE PARTICIPANT SHOWED A DECREASE IN CIVILITY. REGARDING THE INDIVIDUALS OF THE CONTROL CONDITION IN THE PRE-AND POST- TRAINING MOMENTS IN THE DIMENSIONS OF THE SCHOOL CLIMATE, THERE WAS A RELIABLE CHANGE IN SEVEN OF THE TEN PARTICIPANTS, WITH ONE PARTICIPANT SHOWING AN INCREASE IN THE STUDENT RELATIONSHIP AND ON PARTICIPANT AND ONE PARTICIPANT THERE WAS A DECREASE IN THIS DIMENSION, TWO HAD A DECREASE IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STUDENTS, TWO DEMONSTRATE AN INCREASE IN THE CLARITY OF RULES, TWO SHOWED AN INCREASE IN ENGAGEMENT AND A DECREASE IN THIS DIMENSION, FINALLY, ONE PARTICIPANT HAD A DECREASE IN THE PERCEPTION OF BULLYING FOR THE FACTORS OF SOCIAL SKILLS, IN THE PRE AND POST-TEST MOMENTS, OF THE TEN PARTICIPANTS OF THE CONTROL CONDITION, FOUR PRESENTED RELIABLE CHANGES, TWO OF WHICH PRESENTED A DECREASE IN EMPATHY, ONE PRESENTED A DECREASE IN ASSERTIVENESS AND TWO PRESENTED AN INCREASE IN SELF-CONTROL. THE RESULTS OF THIS RESEARCH ALSO REVEAL THAT THE STUDENTS OF THE TECHNICAL COURSES AND GENERAL TRAINING SHOWED DIFFERENCES IN THE REPERTOIRE OF SOCIAL SKILLS AND IN THE MOTIVATION TO LEARN, AND THE TYPE OF TRAINING MAY BE AT STAKE. IN ADDITION, THE RESULTS REINFORCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A THS, SINCE RELIABLE POSITIVE CHANGES WERE IDENTIFIED AFTER THE TEST IN SOCIAL SKILL AND CLIMATE SCHOOL. IN THIS PERSPECTIVE, THE RESULTS FOUND CONFIRM THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SOCIAL SKILLS TRAINING SINCE THE STUDENTS SUBMITTED TO THE INTERVENTION OBTAINED GAINS IN RELATION TO THE STUDENTS WHO DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE TRAINING.

ABSTRACT
THE CHANGES IN THE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR, THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT AND THE DESIRE TO REMAIN IN THE WORK ACTIVITY IN RETIREMENT DIRECTED THIS MASTER'S DISSERTATION. THE RELEVANCE OF THE THEME OF RETIREMENT IS UNDOUBTED, BUT STUDIES ARE STILL SCARCE IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY THE ATTITUDES OF PUBLIC SERVANTS TOWARDS THIS TRANSITION. EVEN RARER ARE STUDIES RELATED TO THE INTENTION AND THE ENTREPRENEURIAL POTENTIAL OF CIVIL SERVANTS IN THE FEDERAL JUDICIAL SECTOR, SINCE MANY WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE WORKING AND WOULD, IN PRINCIPLE, HAVE THE FINANCIAL CONDITIONS TO INVEST IN A VENTURE ON RETIREMENT. THIS WORK HAD THE GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF DEEPENING THE STUDY ON THE PERCEPTIONS REGARDING RETIREMENT, THE ENTREPRENEURIAL POTENTIAL OF THE MATURE CIVIL SERVANTS OF THE LABOR JUDICIARY AND, TO WHAT EXTENT THESE PERCEPTIONS AND THIS POTENTIAL WOULD INFLUENCE THE ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION IN RETIREMENT. THE WORK IS DIVIDED INTO THREE RELATED STUDIES. THE FIRST HAD THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE OF ADAPTING AND IDENTIFYING THE EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF THE SCALES OF PERCEPTION OF GAINS AND LOSSES AGAINST RETIREMENT FOR MATURE CIVIL SERVANTS OF THE LABOR JUDICIARY. THE SECOND, WITH THE SAME PARTICIPANTS, AIMED TO IDENTIFY EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF THE ENTREPRENEURIAL POTENTIAL SCALE AND THE ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION SCALE. FINALLY, THE THIRD STUDY, BASED ON THE RESULTS OF PREVIOUS STUDIES, AIMED TO IDENTIFY THE EXISTING CORRELATIONS AND THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF PERCEPTIONS REGARDING RETIREMENT AND THE ENTREPRENEURIAL POTENTIAL IN ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION. THE FACTOR ANALYZES OF THE FOUR SCALES SHOWED SATISFACTORY RESULTS THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY THEIR CONCURRENT VALIDITY (STUDY 1 AND STUDY 2). IN STUDY 3, IT WAS FOUND THAT ONLY THE NEW BEGINNING GAIN AND THE LOSS OF TANGIBLE ASPECTS OF WORK CORRELATED WITH ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION AND BOTH VARIABLES HAD THEIR EFFECTS DRIVEN BY THE MEDIATION OF THE OPPORTUNITY DIMENSION OF THE ENTREPRENEURIAL POTENTIAL. THUS, THE THREE HYPOTHESES OF THIS STUDY WERE CONFIRMED, THAT IS, THE PERCEPTION OF A NEW BEGINNING (H1) AND THE TANGIBLE ASPECTS OF WORK (H2) PRODUCE POSITIVE EFFECTS ON THE ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION AND THE OPPORTUNITY DIMENSION IS A MEDIATOR BETWEEN THE NEW BEGINNING AND THE ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION AND BETWEEN TANGIBLE ASPECTS OF WORK AND ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION. THIS STUDY HAS LIMITATIONS: THE FIRST WAS THE NON-DEEPENING OF THE FINANCIAL ASPECT OF CIVIL SERVANTS IN DIFFERENT SALARY RANGES; THE SECOND WAS TO BE HELD AT A FEDERAL INSTITUTION LOCATED ONLY IN RIO DE JANEIRO; THE THIRD IS THE REDUCED NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS (N = 162), ALTHOUGH IT REPRESENTED ABOUT 10% OF THE TARGET AUDIENCE AND WAS SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE STATISTICAL CRITERIA; THE FOURTH IS THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE VIGNETTES OF THE ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION AND POTENTIAL ENTREPRENEURIAL SCALES MAY HAVE INDUCED THE RESPONSES. FINALLY, NEW STUDIES ARE SUGGESTED WITH EMPLOYEES OF THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY FROM OTHER COURTS AND STATES, USING THE INSTRUMENTS NOW VALIDATED.
THESE APPLICATIONS CAN SERVE BOTH FOR THE EVOLUTION OF THE CONSTRUCTS INDICATED, THEIR USE IN THE PPA OF THESE INSTITUTIONS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENTREPRENEURIAL POTENTIAL OF THOSE WHO WISH TO UNDERTAKE IN RETIREMENT.

ABSTRACT
THE AGING POPULATION AND THE CONSEQUENT INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF RETIREES IN OUR SOCIETY MAKE URGENT RESEARCH AND ACTIONS AIMED AT THE WELL-BEING OF THIS POPULATION. IN ORDER TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SUPPLY OF SOME GAPS IN THE STUDIES ON THE SUBJECT, THE GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS THESIS WAS TO PROPOSE AND TEST A THEORETICAL-EMPIRICAL MODEL OF WELL-BEING IN RETIREMENT. FOR THIS, FIVE STUDIES WERE DEVELOPED. THE FIRST ONE WAS A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE. THE RESULTS OF THIS REVIEW ALLOWED TO UNDERSTAND THE PANORAMA OF EXISTING PUBLICATIONS AND THE MAIN NEEDS OF STUDIES, GUIDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FOLLOWING STUDIES. STUDIES TWO AND THREE WERE VALIDATION STUDIES, WHICH ADAPTED THE RETIREMENT RESOURCES INVENTORY AND THE RETIREMENT SATISFACTORY INVENTORY, RESPECTIVELY. THE FOURTH STUDY TESTED A SATISFACTION MODEL INVOLVING THE RESOURCES, THE DECISION (TO RETIRE DEFINITIVELY, TO PERFORM A BRIDGE JOB OR TO CONTINUE WORKING) AND THE PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT. FINALLY, THE FIFTH STUDY COMPARED THE LEVELS OF SATISFACTION IN RETIREMENT AMONG BRAZILIAN AND PORTUGUESE RETIREES. THE RESULTS OF THE STUDIES CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMPREHENSION OF SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF BRAZILIAN RETIREES, WHO ATTRIBUTE EXTREME RELEVANCE TO HEALTH, FINANCIAL, FAMILY AND SOCIAL ISSUES, AS WELL AS VALUING TIME FOR LEISURE AND THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THEIR WORK AS INFLUENCES OF RETIREMENT SATISFACTION. IN ADDITION, IT HIGHLIGHTS THE RELEVANCE OF PROJECTS AND ACTIONS AIMED AT PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT AND THE URGENCY OF DEVELOPING PUBLIC POLICIES FOCUSED ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND THE WELL-BEING OF RETIREES IN BRAZIL.

ABSTRACT
THE SUPERVISED CURRICULAR STAGE APPROXIMATES THEORY AND PRACTICE, BEING ESSENTIAL TO THE STUDENT'S TRAINING IN THEIR LEARNING. THE PRESENT STUDY AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECT OF THE INTERNSHIP AND OF THE DIFFERENT COURSES IN THE HEALTH AREA ON THE MOTIVATION TO LEARN AND THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATION OF THE STAGE ITSELF. INITIALLY 500 STUDENTS OF BOTH SEXES, AGED BETWEEN 18 AND 58 YEARS (M = 26.43 ; SD = 6.97), FROM THE FIRST TO THE TENTH PERIOD, AND 279 (55.8%) HAD ALREADY COMPLETED A CURRICULAR INTERNSHIP. DATA COLLECTION WAS PERFORMED THROUGH THE MOTIVATION TO LEARN LEARNING SCALE OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT STUDENTS IN NURSING AND PHYSICAL THERAPY COURSES WERE MORE MOTIVATED THAN THOSE IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION. THE ANALYSIS THAT COMPARED THE STUDENTS WHO DID INTERNSHIP AND DID NOT DO INTERNSHIP WAS NOT SIGNIFICANT. WHEN ASSESSING INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION SEPARATELY, THE INTERNSHIP PRACTICE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED THE INTRINSIC MOTIVATION, WITH THE SAME DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COURSES REMAINING. FOLLOWING THE STUDY, 555 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, BETWEEN 18 AND 58 YEARS (M = 26.7, SD = 7.09), 213 (38.4%) OF THE PHYSIOTHERAPY STUDENTS, 118 (21.3%) NURSING AND 224 (40.4%) OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION. OF THE TOTAL SAMPLE, 298 (53.7%) HAD ALREADY PARTICIPATED IN THE CURRICULAR INTERNSHIP. FREE EVOCATION WAS USED FROM THE TERM "STAGE" INDUCER. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS ARE LITTLE AFFECTED BY THE PRACTICE OF THE STAGE, AS WELL AS BY THE DIFFERENCE OF COURSE, AMONG THESE STUDENTS, BEING LEARNING AND KNOWLEDGE, CENTRAL CORES COMMON AND WITH GREAT CONNECTION STRENGTH.

ABSTRACT
THIS THESIS AIMS TO ANALYZE AND DISCUSS SOCIAL STEREOTYPES OF GENDER AND WORK-FAMILY RECONCILIATION IN THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF WOMEN RESEARCHERS IN BRAZIL. TO ACHIEVE THIS OBJECTIVE, FIVE STUDIES WERE DEVELOPED. THE FIRST PRESENTS AN OVERVIEW OF FEMALE PARTICIPATION IN DIFFERENT SOCIAL SPHERES, IDENTIFYING DIFFERENCES IN OCCUPATIONAL CHOICE, DOMESTIC/FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES AND REMUNERATION, WHETHER IN AREAS PREDOMINANTLY MALE OR FEMALE AREAS, OR WITHIN THESE AREAS. THE SECOND STUDY LOOKED AT SPEECHES BY BRAZILIAN RESEARCHERS (N = 9) OF DIFFERENT AREAS AND LEVELS OF CAREER ABOUT THEIR ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL CAREERS. THE ANALYSIS REVEALED: (I) IDENTIFICATION WITH THE TEACHING AND RESEARCH FROM A YOUNG AGE ; (II) CONSTRUCTED FROM CHOICES OF SOCIALIZATION ; (III) FAMILY SUPPORT IN THE PROCESS OF ACADEMIC CHOICE ; (IV) PERCEPTION OF FEMALE UNDER-REPRESENTATION IN DECISION-MAKING BODIES OF SCIENCE ; AND (V) PERCEPTION OF OBSTACLES, GENDER INEQUALITY AND BIAS IN ACADEMIA. THE THIRD STUDY INCLUDED SECONDARY DATA PROVIDED BY CAPES WHICH ALLOWED TO COMPARE THE DISTRIBUTION AND SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION, BY GENRE, BY BRAZILIAN GRADUATE TEACHERS IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE (N = 57.5%, 50,533 MEN). THE RESULTS SHOWED: (I) FEMALE PREVALENCE IN THE AREAS OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SCIENCES AND EXACT SCIENCES AND MALE PREVALENCE OF LAND AND ENGINEERING ; (II) PREDOMINANCE OF MEN IN RECEIPT OF GRANTS PRODUCTIVITY ; AND (III) THE ABSENCE OF PRODUCTION DIFFERENCES BY GENDER. IN THE FOURTH STUDY DISCUSSED GENDER DISPARITIES IN ACADEMIC CAREER AND SOCIAL PRACTICES THAT NATURALIZE. PARTICIPANTS INCLUDED CNPQ RESEARCH PRODUCTIVITY SCHOLARSHIP FROM THE INITIAL LEVELS (N = 620) AND CAREER FINALS (N = 616) THAT HAD THE LATTES CURRICULUM ANALYZED AND RESPONDED TO A QUESTIONNAIRE ABOUT PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT: (I) WOMEN TITULAM LATER ; (II) TAKE LONGER TO JOIN THE SYSTEM OF SCHOLARSHIPS FROM CNPQ ; (III) THEIR ELDEST SONS HAVE GREATER AVERAGE AGE ; AND (IV) IN SO FAR AS HIS CAREER PROGRESSES, THE NUMBER OF WOMEN IN THE SYSTEM OF GRANTS DECREASES. THE FIFTH STUDY IDENTIFIED AND DISCUSSED THE PERCEPTIONS OF RESEARCHERS AND RESEARCHERS ABOUT THEIR OWN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND ABOUT CONFLICTS BETWEEN WORK-FAMILY AND FAMILY-WORK. WE PERFORMED A TRIANGULATION OF METHODS WITH DATA COLLECTION FROM A SURVEY (N = 400, 50% WOMEN) AND INTERVIEWS WITH RESEARCHERS (N = 12). TRIANGULATION INDICATED THAT THEY PERCEIVE MODERATE LEVELS OF WORK-FAMILY CONFLICT, POSSIBLY DEPENDING ON THE STRATEGIES THEY DEVELOP, SUCH AS PLANNING OR POSTPONING MOTHERHOOD AND BUILDING A SUPPORT NETWORK. IN ADDITION, THEY ASSUME THAT THEY HAVE MADE FAMILY RENUNCIATIONS, BUT THEY IDENTIFY A PROCESS OF CONSCIOUS CHOICE IN THESE DECISIONS. TAKING THE FIVE STUDIES TOGETHER, THE MAIN CONTRIBUTION OF THIS THESIS IS THE REFLECTIONS ON THE INFLUENCE OF GENDER STEREOTYPES ON THE ACADEMIC CHOICE, ON THE PROFESSIONAL TRAJECTORY AND ON THE RECONCILIATION OF WORK AND FAMILY LIFE SPHERES OF BRAZILIAN RESEARCHERS. FROM THE METHODOLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW, THE USE OF MIXED METHODS POINTS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF TRIANGULATION OF SOURCES AND APPROACHES. WE HOPE THAT THE RESULTS OBTAINED MAY SERVE AS A BASIS FOR RETHINKING MERIT EVALUATION SYSTEMS IN THE SCIENTIFIC WORLD, AS WELL AS STIMULATING THE CONTINUITY OF RESEARCH IN THIS AREA.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY AIMED TO EXPLORE THE MOTIVATIONS AND INFLUENCES THAT IMPACT PEOPLE'S LIVES IN THEIR FIRST WORK EXPERIENCE, AS WELL AS KNOWING THE REASONS WHICH WOULD LEAD THEM TO PERMANENTLY END THEIR TIES TO WORK. THEREFORE, IT WAS PART OF THE INVESTIGATION, KNOWING THE CHOICES SHELTERED IN SCENARIOS OF THE PAST AND, ALSO OF THE PROJECTION OF A FUTURE CONDITIONED TO THE INTERVIEWEE¿S PERSPECTIVES. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF 224 PEOPLE AGED OVER 45 (M = 59.6 ; SD = 7.2, RANGING FROM 45 TO 80), WITH 33.5% OF THEM RECEIVING AN AVERAGE INCOME ABOVE NINE THOUSAND REAIS (N = 75, 3.5%), WITH 209 INDIVIDUALS HAVING AT LEAST THE UNIVERSITY DEGREE, AND MOST WITH ONLY HIGH SCHOOL DEGREE (N = 94,9%). THE VARIABLES INVESTIGATED IN EXAMINING THE FINDINGS WERE: MOTIVATION, SUBJECTIVE WELL- BEING, WORK WELL-BEING AND SOCIAL SUPPORT. THROUGH A QUALITATIVE APPROACH, RESPONSES WERE EVALUATED BY METHODS OF CONTENT ANALYSIS AND PROTOTYPICAL ANALYSIS. WE USED QUESTIONS WHICH BROUGHT UP SERIES OF EVOCATIONS AS ANSWERS, WHICH HIGHLIGHTED CONSTRUCTS SUCH AS "LEARNING" (N = 44) AND "INDEPENDENCE" (N = 35), AS THE MAIN MEMORIES OF FIRST WORK EXPERIENCE. THE GREAT MAJORITY OF THE RESPONDENTS BECKONED FOR THE PERMANENT TERMINATION OF WORK, CONDITIONED MAINLY TO REASONS THAT AFFECTED THEIR HEALTH (N = 165 ; 39,0%). IN SECOND AND THIRD PLACES, RESPECTIVELY, CAME THE ISSUES RELATED TO MONEY (N = 65 ; 15,3%) AND WORK (N = 56 ; 13,2%). SCHEDULED RETIREMENT (N = 45 ; 10,6%) APPEARED IN FOURTH PLACE IN TOTAL SCORES, AS AN MOTIVATION TO STOP WORKING. IT WAS OBSERVED THAT MOTIVATORS FOR THEM STOPPING WORK, SUGGESTED THE POTENTIAL INFLUENCE OF AN UN UNSTABLE MACROECONOMIC SCENARIO DURING THE RESEARCH COLLECTION.

ABSTRACT
IN THE CONTEXT OF ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY, WELLBEING AT WORK IS ONE OF THE MOST STUDIED PHENOMENON. AMONG THE INDICATORS OF THIS CONSTRUCT, IT IS WORTH TO EMPHASIZE THE JOY AT WORK, WHICH REFLECTS IN THE MERGE OF LIFE AND WORK SATISFACTION. THE PRESENT DISSERTATION HAD THE OBJECTIVE OF CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMPREHENSION OF NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK OF THE CONSTRUCT, THROUGH TWO STUDIES. THE FIRST ONE HAS GATHERED EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF THE JOY AT WORK SCALE IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF 505 WORKERS FROM BOTH GENDERS. THEY ANSWERED A VERSION OF THE BRAZILIAN SCALE AS WELL AS OTHER INSTRUMENTS RELATED TO IT. EXPLORATORY AND CONFIRMATORY FACTORIAL ANALYSES INDICATED THAT THE MODEL WITH THE BEST FIT FOR THE SCALE WAS THE UNIDIMENSIONAL ONE, COMPOSED OF 14 ITEMS. THE SCALE HAS PRESENTED STRONG POSITIVE CORRELATIONS WITH SATISFACTION AT WORK, WORK ENGAGEMENT, AFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT AND POSITIVE AFFECTS TOWARD WORK. IT HAS BEEN CONCLUDED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PRESENTED PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES WHICH RECOMMEND ITS USE IN FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS DESIGNED TO EVALUATE LEVELS OF JOY AT WORK. THE SECOND STUDY AIMED TO IDENTIFY THE RELATIONSHIPS OF PERCEPTIONS OF ORGANIZATIONAL POWER CONFIGURATIONS WITH JOY AT WORK AND THE MEDIATING ROLE OF PERCEPTIONS OF ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE IN THESE RELATIONSHIPS. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF 783 WORKERS OF BOTH SEXES, WHO ANSWERED THE ORGANIZATIONAL POWER CONFIGURATION SCALE, THE JOY AT WORK SCALE AND THE ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE PERCEPTION SCALE. STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING SHOWED THAT THE PERCEPTIONS OF THE MISSIONARY POWER CONFIGURATION AND THE AUTONOMOUS SYSTEM PRESENTED SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH JOY AT WORK, PARTIALLY MEDIATED BY THE PERCEPTIONS OF ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT ORGANIZATIONAL POWER REVEALS ITSELF AS A MOBILIZING FORCE THAT AFFECTS THE RESULTS OF THE ORGANIZATION. IN THE FINAL CONSIDERATIONS, THE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE EVIDENCES JOINED IN THE TWO STUDIES ARE DISCUSSED.

ABSTRACT
THE SUBJECT OF JOB SATISFACTION HAS BEEN THE OBJECT OF CONSTANT STUDY BY SEVERAL AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE, ESPECIALLY IN THE AREAS OF ADMINISTRATION, ECONOMICS, SOCIOLOGY AND PSYCHOLOGY. IN RELATION TO INFORMAL WORK, IN ADDITION TO FEW STUDIES, THERE WERE NO INSTRUMENTS TO MEASURE THE LEVEL OF SATISFACTION. BASED ON THE CONCEPTION THAT ADDRESSES THE WORK-WORKER RELATIONSHIP THROUGH THE OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE ASPECTS OF THE WORK AND CONSIDERING THE NON-EXISTENCE OF A SCALE FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF JOB SATISFACTION FOR INFORMAL WORKERS AND SELF-EMPLOYED WORKERS, THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY IS TO DISCUSS THE PERSPECTIVES OF INFORMAL WORK AND OF ITS WORKERS, SATISFACTION WITH WORK AND THE FACTORS THAT COMPOSE IT, REFLECTING ON ITS SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC RELEVANCE. FOR THIS, THE OCCUPATIONAL SATISFACTION SCALE FOR INFORMAL WORKERS (EST-TI) WAS CONSTRUCTED AND VALIDATED. IN A SIMILAR WAY, WE ALSO SEEK AN ANALYSIS ABOUT THE SATISFACTION OF THESE WORKERS IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THEIR TASKS AND THE IMPACT OF THE RELATIONSHIPS FOR THIS PROCESS. A TOTAL OF 510 INFORMAL WORKERS WORKING IN THE AREAS OF COMMERCE AND SERVICE PARTICIPATED IN THE STUDY. DATA COLLECTION WAS CARRIED OUT WITH INFORMAL WORKERS WORKING IN THE METROPOLITAN EAST OF THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, IN THE PERIOD BETWEEN MARCH 2018 AND MARCH 2019. IN THIS WAY, THE DISCUSSION AND VALIDATION OF A SCALE OF AND THE STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIPS INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS, CAN BE VERY USEFUL FOR CONDUCTING FUTURE DIAGNOSES AND INVESTIGATIONS, REPRESENTING A SIGNIFICANT GAIN AS IT WILL PROVIDE THE RESEARCHERS WITH A SPECIFIC INSTRUMENT FOR THE STUDY OF INFORMAL WORKERS, WITH CHARACTERISTICS AND ITEMS APPROPRIATE TO THIS TYPE OF WORKER.

ABSTRACT
THE PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELD OF CANCER HEALTH FACE CONSTANT CHALLENGES IN THE SCENARIO OF INCREASED CANCER INCIDENCE AND THE EMERGENCE OF NEW KNOWLEDGE AND TECHNOLOGIES TO CURE THE DISEASE. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS THESIS WAS TO ANALYZE THE TRAJECTORY AND THE LABOR DEVELOPMENT OF ONCOLOGY PROFESSIONALS, CONSIDERING THE INTERDEPENDENCE OF THE WORK IN MULTIPROFESSIONAL TEAMS, FROM A MODEL OF DEMANDS AND RESOURCES. FOR THAT, THREE STUDIES WERE CARRIED OUT, AS WELL AS A COMPLEMENTARY STUDY OF CULTURAL ADAPTATION OF THE SCALE OF MANAGEMENT OF KNOWLEDGE IN TEAMS, WHICH IS INCLUDED AS AN APPENDIX. THE FIRST STUDY AIMED TO IDENTIFY ELEMENTS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE OCCUPATIONAL TRAJECTORY OF SIX OCCUPATIONAL CATEGORIES OF CANCER HEALTH, NAMELY: SOCIAL WORKER, NURSE, PHYSIOTHERAPIST, DOCTOR, NUTRITIONIST AND PSYCHOLOGIST. THE SIX PARTICIPANTS WERE NOMINATED BY THEIR PEERS AS A REFERENCE IN ONCOLOGY AND PARTICIPATED IN INTERVIEWS BASED ON ORAL HISTORY METHODOLOGY. THE RESULTS INDICATED SIMILARITIES IN THE PROFESSIONAL TRAJECTORY OF THE PARTICIPATING CATEGORIES WITH PREDOMINANCE OF INFORMAL LEARNING, VALORIZATION OF WORK IN MULTIPROFESSIONAL TEAMS, AND INFLUENCE OF PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THIS FIRST STUDY PROVIDED IMPORTANT SUBSIDIES FOR THE OTHERS. THUS, THE SECOND STUDY AIMED TO MAKE THE ADAPTATION TO BRAZIL AND THE TESTS OF INITIAL EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF THE INVENTORY OF STRESSORS IN ONCOLOGY WORK. 384 PROFESSIONALS FROM THE FIELD OF ONCOLOGY PARTICIPATED, MOST OF THEM FEMALE AND FROM THE SOUTHEAST REGION. WE PERFORMED EXPLORATORY AND CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYZES, EVALUATION OF RELIABILITY AND SCALE INVARIANCE AMONG NURSES AND OTHER OCCUPATIONAL CATEGORIES OF CANCER HEALTH. THE ANALYZES CONFIRMED THE FIVE DIMENSIONS OF THE ORIGINAL MODEL, RESULTING IN AN INSTRUMENT OF 25 ITEMS, WITH PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES, THAT ALLOW TO RECOMMEND ITS USE IN BRAZILIAN SAMPLES. THE THIRD AND FINAL STUDY TESTED A RESEARCH MODEL THAT INTEGRATED DEMANDS (STRESSORS OF WORK IN ONCOLOGY), RESOURCES OF WORK IN ONCOLOGY (MANAGEMENT OF KNOWLEDGE IN TEAMS AND INTERDEPENDENCE OF TASKS IN THE TEAM) AND PERSONAL RESOURCES (PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL IN WORK AND DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONAL) AS PREDICTORS OF THE INTERDEPENDENCE OF RESULTS IN THE WORK TEAM OF THE ONCOLOGICAL HEALTH AREA. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF 578 ONCOLOGY PROFESSIONALS FROM THE FOLLOWING OCCUPATIONAL CATEGORIES: SOCIAL WORKER, NURSE, PHYSIOTHERAPIST, PHYSICIAN, NUTRITIONIST AND PSYCHOLOGIST. THE STANDARD MULTIPLE REGRESSION OF THE FIVE HYPOTHESES OF THE STUDY POINTED TO THE FOLLOWING PREDICTIVE VARIABLES OF THE INTERDEPENDENCE OF RESULTS IN ONCOLOGY WORK TEAMS: INTERDEPENDENCE OF TEAM TASKS, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, HOPE (AS DIMENSION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL AT WORK) AND ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE AND CATALYSTS OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT. THE STRESSORS OF ONCOLOGY WORK WERE NOT CONFIRMED AS PREDICTORS OF THE INTERDEPENDENCE OF TEAM RESULTS. THUS, ALL STUDIES IN THIS THESIS PROVIDE THEORETICAL, METHODOLOGICAL AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA OF CANCER HEALTH, AS WELL AS VARIABLES THAT EXPLAIN THE RESULTS OF WORK IN MULTIPROFESSIONAL TEAMS.
KEYWORDS: PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ; INTERDEPENDENCE OF TEAM RESULTS ; ONCOLOGY ; MULTIPROFESSIONAL TEAMS IN ONCOLOGY ; DEMANDS AND RESOURCES AT WORK.

ABSTRACT
THE FIELD OF EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGIES AS AN AREA OF KNOWLEDGE HAS RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT ATTENTION IN SCIENTIFIC STUDIES JUST OVER TWO DECADES. CERTAIN ASPECTS RELATED TO THE USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES CAN NOT BE IGNORED IN REFLECTIONS ON TEACHING-LEARNING AND CONTEMPORARY EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES AND CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF EDUCATIONAL PROCESSES AND PRESENT THEMSELVES AS A FERTILE SOIL TO AWAKEN THE CRITICAL INTEREST FOR THE UNVEILING OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITAL INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES, FOCUSING ON IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF TEACHING AND LEARNING, ESPECIALLY IN HIGHER EDUCATION. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE CONTENTS OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION TEACHERS ABOUT INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE EDUCATIONAL AREA AND AS A SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE, TO INVESTIGATE REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT FACE - TO - FACE AND DISTANCE EDUCATION. AS THEORETICAL ASSUMPTIONS, THE THEORY OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF MOSCOVICI, WHICH DEFINES SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS (RS) AS THE SET OF OPINIONS, BELIEFS OR VALUES THAT ARE SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED IN DELIMITED GROUPS IN RELATION TO A CERTAIN OBJECT, IS ADOPTED, AND FOR JODELET (2001), SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS ARE FORMS OF KNOWLEDGE THAT ARE SOCIALLY PRODUCED AND SHARED, WITH A PRACTICAL ORIENTATION, COMPETING FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A REALITY COMMON TO A GIVEN SOCIAL SET. THIS RESEARCH WAS THE RESULT OF AN INTERDISCIPLINARY DIALOGUE BETWEEN THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES FROM THE THEORY OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS (TRS) AND STUDIES ON CYBERCULTURE, SOCIETY IN NETWORK AND EDUCATION, COMMUNICATION AND ICTS. SIXTEEN TEACHERS FROM TWO HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS (IES) PARTICIPATED IN THE STUDY, ONE PUBLIC AND ONE PRIVATE, AND FROM DIFFERENT TRAINING AREAS, BELONGING TO FACE-TO-FACE AND TECHNOLOGICAL TEACHING. THE STUDY WAS CARRIED OUT THROUGH SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS CONDUCTED IN PERSON AT THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS THEMSELVES, AND INTERVIEWS WERE RECORDED AND LATER TRANSCRIBED IN FULL FOR DATA ANALYSIS. THE DATA WERE ANALYZED ACCORDING TO THE CATEGORICAL CONTENT ANALYSIS METHOD, BY BARDIN. (2011). IT IS OBSERVED THAT IN THE GROUP REPRESENTED, THERE IS A BELIEF THAT THE SIMPLE INSTRUMENTAL USE OF ICTS WOULD MODIFY THE PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES OF THE TEACHERS, PRESENTING AN IDEA OF COMMON SENSE ON THE SUBJECT, SINCE IT WAS EXPECTED THAT THE TEACHERS INTERVIEWED WOULD BRING MORE IN-DEPTH NOTIONS ON THIS ISSUE. IT WAS OBSERVED THAT MOST OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL DEVICES HAVE A GENERALIST CHARACTER AND DID NOT INCORPORATE SPECIFICITIES OF AN EDUCATIONAL NATURE. THUS, TEACHERS END UP REPLICATING THE SAME PRACTICES WITH OTHER TYPES OF SUPPORT AND BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE INNOVATING IN THEIR PRACTICES. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO OBSERVE THAT THE TEACHERS BELIEVE THAT THE FACE-TO-FACE TEACHING IS SUPERIOR THAN THE EAD BECAUSE THEY WORK MAINLY WITH EXPOSITORY LECTURES.

ABSTRACT
THE THESIS HAVE AS PURPOSE OFFSHORE WORKERS AND WIVES PERCEPTION ANALYSIS ABOUT THE JOB DONE ON IT, THEIR SIDE EFFECTS ON WORKERS AND ABOUT THE FAMILY AND SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP. THE RESEARCH IS FOCUSED ON SPEAKS OF OFFSHORE WORKERS AND WIVES. THEREFORE, THE QUALITATIVE STUDY WAS DIVIDED IN TWO MOMENTS. 1. APPLICATION OF A QUESTIONNAIRE, FORWARDED ELECTRONICALLY, WITH OPEN QUESTIONS AND A SAMPLE OF 144 OFFSHORE WORKERS THAT WORK ON OFFSHORE RIGGERS AND OFFSHORE VESSELS IN RIO DE JANEIRO-BRAZIL PETROCHEMICAL SECTOR ; 2. INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEW WITH OFFSHORE WORKERS WIVES. THE FINDINGS INDICATE THAT WORKERS AND WIVES PERCEIVE OFFSHORE WORK AND ITS CONSEQUENCES DIFFERENTLY. ALTHOUGH BOTH WORKERS AND WIVES MENTIONED THE CONSEQUENCES OF WORK ON FAMILY AND SOCIAL RELATIONS, WIVES POINT OUT THAT THIS DIFFICULTY GOES WELL BEYOND THE ABSENCE OF SOCIAL OR FAMILY EVENTS. THEY CLAIM TO IMPACT DAILY ROUTINE AND CHILD REARING. REGARDING THEMSELVES, THEY MISS THEIR PARTNER IN EVERYDAY SITUATIONS WHERE THEY COULD SHARE DIFFICULTIES, JOYS AND DOUBTS. THE OFFSHORE WORKERS PERCEPTION AS ¿STRONG¿ SUGGESTS TO BE A WAY OF SUPPORTING THE REALITY THAT WORK IMPOSES. FEW ASSUME THAT THEY WOULD RECOMMEND THIS WORK TO FRIENDS AND REPORT THAT THEY THINK OR HAVE ALREADY CONSIDERED CHANGING THEIR AREA OF EXPERTISE. HOWEVER, SALARY AND BENEFITS, THEY SAY, PROVIDE A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE FAMILY. DESPITE THE LIMITATIONS, THE RESEARCH ALLOWED AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPACTS OF SHIFT WORK ON OFFSHORE WORKERS AND FOR FAMILY MEMBERS AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FURTHER RESEARCH.

ABSTRACT
YOUNG PEOPLE WHO DECIDE FOR A CAREER USE MANY VARIABLES IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER CHOICES THAT DO NOT FIT THEIR TASTES OR ABILITIES, BUT IT IS NOT ALWAYS EASY TO DECIDE, BECAUSE SUCH AN ATTITUDE INVOLVES CERTAIN MANY SKILLS THAT MAY NOT YET BE WELL DEVELOPED AT THIS STAGE. CONSIDERING THE PROCESS FOR THE DECISION MAKING OF THE CAREER IN ADOLESCENCE THE PRESENT RESEARCH SOUGHT TO IDENTIFY WHICH DIFFICULTIES LEAD THE STUDENTS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL TO THE PROFESSIONAL INDECISION AND WHAT FACTORS CAN BE PREDICTORS OF THIS CONSTRUCT. IN THIS SENSE, THE VARIABLES SOCIAL SKILLS, MATURITY FOR PROFESSIONAL CHOICE AND AUTONOMY WERE PREDICTIVE. THUS, TWO STUDIES WERE PRESENTED: THE FIRST ONE PROPOSES TWO FOCUS GROUPS TO IDENTIFY THE DIFFICULTIES THAT THE STUDENTS OF THE THIRD YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL TAKE TO THE PROFESSIONAL INDECISION AND WHICH FACTORS MAY BE RELATED TO THIS CONSTRUCT. THE SECOND ONE SOUGHT TO VERIFY THE IMPACT OF MATURITY FOR PROFESSIONAL CHOICE, AUTONOMY AND SOCIAL SKILLS IN THE INDECISION OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. THE STUDY INCLUDED 16 STUDENTS, 8 FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND 8 FROM PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND 10 TEACHERS, ALL FROM THE THIRD YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL. FROM STUDY II, 900 STUDENTS BETWEEN 14 AND 21 YEARS OLD WHO ATTENDED THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS OF HIGHER EDUCATION PARTICIPATED. OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, 69 (46%) BOYS AND 81 (54%) GIRLS (M = 16.56, SD = 1.368) OF THE FIRST YEAR ; 58 (38.7%) BOYS AND 92 (61.3%) GIRLS (M = 17.81, SD = 1.343) OF THE SECOND AND THIRD, 68 (45.3%) BOYS AND 82 (54.7%) GIRLS (M = 18.24, SD = 1.047). OF THE PRIVATE SCHOOLS, 64 (42.7%) BOYS AND 86 (57.3%) GIRLS (M = 15.44, SD = 0.839) OF THE FIRST YEAR PARTICIPATED ; 59 (39.3%) BOYS AND 91 (60.7%) GIRLS (M = 16.41, SD = 0.715) OF THE SECOND, AND 68 (45.3%) BOYS AND 82 (54.7%) GIRLS ( M = 17.38, SD = 0.620) OF THE THIRD. ALSO IN STUDY II INSTRUMENTS WERE USED: INVENTORY OF SOCIAL SKILLS FOR ADOLESCENTS (IHSA, 2009) ; THE MATURITY SCALE FOR PROFESSIONAL CHOICE (EMEP, 2014) ; THE QUESTIONNAIRE OF AUTONOMY (QA) AND THE VOCATIONAL INDECISION SCALE (EIV). THE RESULTS OF STUDY I IDENTIFIED CATEGORIES ABOUT THE YOUNG PERSON'S RELATIONSHIP WITH HIMSELF AND THE REALITY IN WHICH HE LIVES, ALREADY IN STUDY II, THERE WAS A POSITIVE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN THE VARIABLES SOCIAL SKILLS, MATURITY FOR PROFESSIONAL CHOICE AND AUTONOMY, AND NEGATIVE IMPACT OF THESE VARIABLES ON INDECISION.

ABSTRACT
THE MOBILIZATIONS THAT HAPPENED IN 2013 IN BRAZIL INTRODUCED A NEW WAY OF POLITICAL ACTIVISM OF THE 21ST CENTURY, MARKED BY GLOBALIZATION, NEW WAYS OF COMMUNICATION AND THE FRAGMENTATION OF THE URBAN SOCIAL MOVEMENTS. THE CONTEMPORARY TREND IN THE STUDY OF COLLECTIVE MOVEMENTS IS TO UNDERSTAND THE SELF ORGANIZED, FLEXIBLE AND PLURAL CROWDS SINCE THE CONCEPT OF MASS FAVORS A CONSERVATIVE ANALYSIS HIGHLIGHTING THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF THESE COLLECTIVE MOVEMENTS. HOWEVER, IN CURRENT RESEARCH ON THE RIOTS OF 2013, AUTHORS AS ROLNIK AND RICHTER, ORTOLANO AND GIACOMINI HAVE IDENTIFIED BOTH MASS, CONCEPT DEVELOPED IN MODERN TIMES IN THE 18TH AND 19TH CENTURIES, AND CROWD CHARACTERISTICS, CONTEMPORARY CONCEPT DEVELOPED AT THE END OF THE 20TH AND BEGINNING OF THE 21ST CENTURY. THE CONCEPT OF CROWDS STUDIED IN THIS DISSERTATION IS USED TO PROMOTE PROGRESSIVE ANALYZES THAT VALUE AFFECTIVE/ATTITUDE ASPECTS THAT AID IN THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE SENSE OF BELONGING AND IN THE SELF ORGANIZATION OF THE CROWDS. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THIS DISSERTATION IS TO COMPREHEND HOW THE MOBILIZATIONS OF 2013 AND THOSE THAT FOLLOWED WERE ORGANIZED SINCE THAT THE SOCIAL MOVEMENTS THAT STARTED IN 2013 WERE CHARACTERIZED AS LEADERLESS, HORIZONTAL AND NONPARTISAN. THIS PRIMARY OBJECTIVE RESPONDS TO THE PROBLEM PROPOSED IN THE DISSERTATION ON THE PRESENCE OR THE ABSENCE OF THE LEADER, SINCE THE LEADER IS NECESSARY FOR THE FORMATION OF THE MASSES, BUT IRRELEVANT TO THE ORGANIZATION OF THE CROWDS. THE CROWDS, ACCORDING TO THE RESULTS OF THIS RESEARCH, TENDS TO BE ORGANIZED THROUGH TEMPORARY COLLECTIVE IDENTITIES THAT ARE ORGANIZED THROUGH POLITICAL ANTAGONISM. THE COLLECTIVE IDENTITY, ACCORDING TO MOFFE AND PRADO, ORGANIZES ITSELF THOUGH ANTAGONISTIC POWER RELATIONS IN WHICH THE RELATION OF OPPRESSION IS TRANSFORMED INTO A RELATION OF SUBORDINATION WHICH HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF GUIDES AT THE EXPENSE OF LEADERSHIP. THE SECONDARY OBJECTIVES ARE TO IDENTIFY WAYS OF ORGANIZING MOBILIZATIONS AND ESTABLISHED POWER RELATIONS ; TO INDICATE HOW THE SINGULAR AND COLLECTIVE RELATIONS ARE ARTICULATED DURING THE MOBILIZATIONS ; AND THE LEARNING THAT THESE MOBILIZATIONS MAY HAVE PROVIDED TO THE PARTICIPANTS AND SOCIETY IN GENERAL. DATA WERE COLLECTED THROUGH SEMI STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS WITH 8 RESIDENTS OF THE METROPOLITAN REGION OF RIO DE JANEIRO. TO PARTICIPATE IN THE RESEARCH PROTESTERS HAD TO MEET THE CRITERIA OF HAVING PARTICIPATED IN THE MOBILIZATIONS OF 2013 AND BE OVER 18 YEARS OLD. THE ANALYSES OF THE SUBJECTS LED TO CATEGORIES THAT WERE DISCUSSED THROUGH THE LENS OF THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MASS AND CROWDS AND PSYCHOANALYSIS. THE RESULTS INDICATES THAT THE RIOTERS ORGANIZE THEMSELVES THROUGH SOCIAL NETWORKS, SINCE 2013 MOBILIZATIONS, ARTICULATING PLURAL GUIDELINES AND MANY ANTAGONISTIC IDENTITIES. DATA COLLECTED IN THIS DISSERTATION INDICATES AT LEAST TWO RELEVANT POINTS: THE TERM MASS WAS USED BY THE RIOTERS IN A NEGATIVE WAY TO EXPRESS DISAGREEMENT WITH THE BEHAVIOR OF THE OTHER RIOTERS ; AND DATA INDICATES THAT THE CONTEMPORARY RIOTS APPROACH THE CONCEPT OF CROWDS AS DISCUSSED FROM NEGRI, FOUCAULT, SCHERER-WARREN, BIRMAN AND OTHERS. THEREFORE, THE RELEVANCE OF THIS DISSERTATION IS TO REFLECT, ON THE ONE HAND, HOW THE INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE RELATIONS ARE ORGANIZED DURING THE RIOTS AND, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE PLACE OF THE LEADER IN CONTEMPORARY RIOTS.

ABSTRACT
THE WORK-FAMILY INTERFACE CONSISTS OF A PROCESS IN WHICH THE DEMANDS AND RESOURCES OF WORK INFLUENCE THE FUNCTIONING AND BEHAVIOR IN THE FAMILY AND VICE VERSA. ACCORDING TO THE WORK-HOME RESOURCE MODEL, PERSONAL RESOURCES ACT AS MEDIATORS IN THE RELATIONS OF THE DEMANDS AND CONTEXTUAL RESOURCES OF A DOMAIN WITH THE RESULTS OF THE OTHER DOMAINS. IN ADDITION, MACRO RESOURCES AND KEY RESOURCES CONSTITUTE MODERATORS OF THE RELATIONS OF DEMANDS AND CONTEXTUAL RESOURCES WITH PERSONAL RESOURCES. BASED ON THIS REFERENCE, THE PRESENT RESEARCH SOUGHT TO DEEPEN THE NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK OF THE WORK-FAMILY INTERFACE IN BRAZILIAN SAMPLES. CONSIDERING THE NON-EXISTENCE OF VALIDATED INSTRUMENTS IN BRAZIL FOR TWO OF THE CONSTRUCTS INCLUDED IN THE STUDY, THE FIRST RESEARCH AIMED TO ADAPT AND GATHER INITIAL EVIDENCE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE AND BRIEF VERSIONS OF THE INVENTORY OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL FUNCTIONING. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE TWO VERSIONS PRESENTED EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY THAT CORROBORATED THE MODEL OF 18 FACTORS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE VERSION AND THE UNIFATORIAL MODEL OF THE REDUCED VERSION. IN ADDITION, THE FACTORS OF BOTH INSTRUMENTS CORRELATED WITH SATISFACTION WITH LIFE, OPTIMISM, CORE-SELF EVALUATIONS, FLOURISHING, AND GENERAL HEALTH. THE SECOND RESEARCH AIMED TO OBTAIN INITIAL EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY BASED ON THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE, ON THE INVARIANCE OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE ITEMS AND ON THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH EXTERNAL VARIABLES OF THE PERCEIVED WORK AND FAMILY DEMANDS SCALE. THE FINDINGS SHOWED THAT THE CORRELATED TWO-FACTOR MODEL PRESENTED THE BEST ADJUSTMENT INDICES ; IN THE MULTI-GROUP CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYZES, THE PARAMETERS OF THE ITEMS WERE INVARIANT AMONG THE DIFFERENT GROUPS ANALYZED. WORK DEMANDS CORRELATED POSITIVELY WITH WORK OVERLOAD AND FAMILY DEMANDS, NEGATIVELY, WITH THE AMBIGUITY OF ROLES IN THE FAMILY. THE THIRD STUDY INVESTIGATED THE DIRECT EFFECTS OF PERCEIVED FAMILY DEMANDS (FAMILY DEMAND) AND PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT OF THE FAMILY (FAMILY RESOURCE) ON POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL FUNCTIONING AT WORK (OUTCOME AT WORK), AS WELL AS THE MEDIATING ROLE OF CORE-SELF EVALUATIONS (PERSONAL RESOURCE) AND THE MODERATING ROLE OF THE CREATIVITY OF THE BRAZILIAN ¿JEITINHO¿ (MACRO RESOURCE) IN THESE RELATIONSHIPS. THE FOURTH RESEARCH EVIDENCED THE DIRECT EFFECTS OF THE PERCEIVED WORK DEMANDS (WORK DEMAND) AND SOCIAL SUPPORT OF THE WORK (WORK RESOURCE) ON THE FLOURISHING IN THE FAMILY (OUTCOME AT FAMILY), AS WELL AS THE MEDIATING ROLE OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL (PERSONAL RESOURCE) AND THE MODERATING ROLE OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE ASSOCIATED TO EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION AND WELL-BEING VALUES (MACRO RESOURCE) IN THESE RELATIONSHIPS. FINALLY, THE FIFTH RESEARCH INVOLVED TWO DAILY STUDIES. THE FIRST SHOWED THAT, AT THE DAILY LEVEL, PERCEIVED LABOR DEMAND (WORK DEMAND) AND SOCIAL SUPPORT OF THE WORK (WORK RESOURCE) PRESENTED SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIPS WITH FAMILY SATISFACTION (OUTCOME AT FAMILY), AS THE MEDIATING ROLE OF POSITIVE AFFECTS (PERSONAL RESOURCE) AND MODERATOR OF THE USE OF THE STRATEGY OF PROBLEM SOLVING (KEY RESOURCE) IN THESE RELATIONSHIPS. THE SECOND STUDY INDICATED THAT AT THE DAILY LEVEL, PERCEIVED FAMILY DEMAND (FAMILY DEMAND) AND SOCIAL SUPPORT OF THE FAMILY (WORK RESOURCE) PRESENTED SIGNIFICANT ASSOCIATIONS WITH JOB SATISFACTION (WORK OUTCOME), SUCH AS THE MEDIATING ROLE POSITIVE AFFECTS (PERSONAL RESOURCE) AND MODERATOR OF THE USE OF THE PROBLEM SOLVING STRATEGY (KEY RESOURCE) IN SUCH RELATIONSHIPS. IMPLICATIONS FOR DAY-TO-DAY ORGANIZATIONS ARE DISCUSSED AND SUGGESTIONS FOR A FUTURE RESEARCH AGENDA ON THE WORK-FAMILY INTERFACE IN BRAZILIAN SAMPLES ARE PRESENTED AT THE CONCLUSION.

ABSTRACT
READING COMPREHENSION, AS WELL AS ITS CORRELATION TO LEARNING STRATEGIES, AT THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED BOTH IN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL REALM. DESPITE NUMEROUS INVESTIGATIONS ON THIS TOPIC, IN BRAZILIAN STUDIES, SUCH CORRELATION IS STILL A NOVELTY IN THE LITERATURE ON READING COMPREHENSION. THE AIM OF THIS STUDY IS TO VERIFY IF THERE IS ANY RELATION AMONG THE READING HISTORY OF UNDERGRADUATES, THEIR READING COMPREHENSION ABILITIES AND THEIR LEARNING STRATEGIES. FOR THIS INVESTIGATION, 90 UNDERGRADUATES IN PSYCHOLOGY OF A PRIVATE UNIVERSITY IN RIO DE JANEIRO TOOK PART IN A READING COMPREHENSION TASK. AMONG THE PARTICIPANTS, 21% WERE FEMALE AND THE AGE RANGE VARIED FROM 18 TO 53 YEARS OF AGE. SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS WERE CONTROLLED. THE SHORT STORY DESENTENDIMENTO BY LUIZ FERNANDO VERÍSSIMO WAS MANIPULATED IN A CLOZE TEST. PARTICIPANTS¿ READING HISTORY WAS IDENTIFIED BY MEANS OF QUESTIONNAIRES, WHEREAS LEARING STRATEGIES WERE ANALYZED BY MEANS OF THE ESTRATÉGIAS DE APRENDIZAGEM EM ESTUDANTES UNIVERSITÁRIOS SCALE. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THERE IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN READING COMPREHENSION AND PARTICIPANTS¿ HISTORY OF READING DIFFICULTIES. IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY A CORRELATION BETWEEN READING COMPREHENSION AND LEARNING STRATEGIES, HOWEVER, THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT IN THE CORRELATION BETWEEN LEARNING STRATEGIES AND MOTHERS¿ LEVEL OF SCHOOLING. SUCH RESULTS ARE SURPRISING GIVEN THE DIRECT INTERFERENCE FROM PARENTS IN THE LEARNING PROCESS BY ADULTS IS VERY REDUCED

ABSTRACT
THRIVING AT WORK IS CHARACTERIZED AS AN INDICATOR OF WORK WELL-BEING, MANIFESTED IN PSYCHOLOGICAL STATES ASSOCIATED WITH AFFECTIVE (VITALITY) AND COGNITIVE (LEARNING) COMPONENTS. ACCORDING TO THE THEORY THAT GUIDED THE PRESENT THESIS, THIS CONSTRUCT STEMS FROM CONTEXTUAL FACTORS AND RESOURCES PRODUCED IN THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE WORK, WITH SUCH RELATIONS BEING MEDIATED BY PROACTIVE BEHAVIORS. IN ADDITION, THRIVING CAN ACT AS A MEDIATOR OF THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SUCH FACTORS AND RESOURCES AND PERFORMANCE AT WORK. IN ADDITION, ACCORDING TO THE JOB DEMANDS AND RESOURCES MODEL, IT ASSUMES THAT PERSONAL RESOURCES TEND TO MODERATE THE RELATIONS OF DEMANDS AND RESOURCES OF WORK WITH THE WELL-BEING OF WORK. BASED ON THIS REFERENCE, THE PRESENT RESEARCH SOUGHT TO DEEPEN THE NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK OF WORK THRIVING IN BRAZILIAN SAMPLES, BY IDENTIFYING DIFFERENT PREDICTORS AND RESULTS RELATED TO THE WORK OF THIS CONSTRUCT, THROUGH THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF FOUR DIFFERENT STUDIES. THE FIRST RESEARCH HAD AS OBJECTIVE TO ADAPT AND GATHER INITIAL EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF THE SCALE OF THRIVING AT WORK IN 804 BRAZILIAN WORKERS. THE RESULTS OF THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS POINTED TO THE INITIAL EVIDENCE OF SCALE VALIDITY, WHICH PARTIALLY REPRODUCED THE ORIGINAL VERSION AND WAS STRUCTURED INTO TWO FIRST-ORDER FACTORS (VITALITY AND LEARNING) AND A SECOND-ORDER FACTOR (THRIVING AT WORK). IN ADDITION, JOB THRIVING WAS POSITIVELY CORRELATED WITH POSITIVE AFFECTS AND PERFORMANCE AT WORK AND NEGATIVELY, WITH EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION AND NEGATIVE AFFECTS. THE SECOND STUDY AIMED TO ADAPT AND GATHER EVIDENCE OF INTERNAL STRUCTURE VALIDITY AND CORRELATIONS WITH EXTERNAL VARIABLES OF THE AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP INVENTORY (ILA) IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT, WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF 548 WORKERS. AFTER THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE BEST FIT MODEL OF THE SCALE WAS THE FOUR FIRST ORDER FACTORS (BALANCED PROCESSING, INTERNALIZED MORAL PERSPECTIVE, RELATIONAL TRANSPARENCY AND SELF-AWARENESS) WITH A SECOND ORDER FACTOR (AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP) WHICH CONFIRMED THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE OF THE SCALE. WITH REGARD TO THE CONVERGENT VALIDITY OF THE SCALE, IT WAS POSSIBLE TO VERIFY THAT AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP PRESENTED POSITIVE CORRELATIONS WITH TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP, JOB SATISFACTION AND WORK ENGAGEMENT. THE THIRD RESEARCH AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE RELATIONSHIPS OF AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP AND POSITIVE AFFECTS TOWARD WORK WITH THRIVING AT WORK, AS WELL AS THE MEDIATING ROLE OF REDESIGNING BEHAVIORS AT WORK AND THE MODERATING ROLE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY IN SUCH RELATIONSHIPS. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF 609 WORKERS AND THE MODELING OF STRUCTURAL EQUATIONS SHOWED THAT: AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP AND POSITIVE AFFECTS POSITIVELY IMPACTED THRIVING AT WORK ; THE REDESIGNING BEHAVIORS AT WORK MEDIATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POSITIVE AFFECTS AND THRIVING AT WORK ; THE PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY AT WORK MODERATED THE RELATIONSHIPS OF AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP AND POSITIVE AFFECTS WITH THRIVING AT WORK. FINALLY, THE FOURTH AND FINAL STUDY FOCUSED ON ANALYZING THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PARTICIPATION IN DECISION-MAKING AND SOCIAL SUPPORT IN WORKING WITH THRIVING AT WORK, AS WELL AS THE MEDIATING ROLE OF THRIVING AT WORK AND MODERATOR OF SELF-EFFICACY IN SUCH RELATIONSHIPS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT: PARTICIPATION IN DECISION MAKING AND SOCIAL SUPPORT HAD A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THRIVING AT WORK ; THRIVING AT WORK MEDIATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SUCH VARIABLES AND PERFORMANCE AT WORK ; SELF-EFFICACY MODERATED THE POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS OF PARTICIPATION IN DECISION MAKING AND SOCIAL SUPPORT WITH THRIVING AT WORK, IN THE SENSE OF ACCENTUATING THEM. IN CONCLUSION, IMPLICATIONS FOR DAY-TO-DAY ORGANIZATIONS ARE DISCUSSED AND SUGGESTIONS FOR A FUTURE RESEARCH AGENDA ON THRIVING IN BRAZILIAN SAMPLES ARE PRESENTED.
KEYWORDS: THRIVING AT WORK ; AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP, CONTEXTUAL FACTORS OF THE WORK ENVIRONMENT, RESOURCES DERIVED FROM WORK AND PERSONAL RESOURCES.

ABSTRACT
THE EFFECTS OF INDIVIDUAL-ORGANIZATION COMPATIBILITY HAVE BEEN SYSTEMATICALLY INVESTIGATED IN RECENT DECADES. SUCH LITERATURE HAS DEMONSTRATED A RELATIONSHIP SIGNIFICANT DEGREE OF INDIVIDUAL-ORGANIZATION COMPATIBILITY WITH DIVERSE ATTITUDES, INTENTIONS AND EMPLOYEE BEHAVIORS, SUGGESTING THAT, TO THE EXTENT THAT PERSONAL VALUES AND ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS ADJUST, PROFESSIONALS TEND TO BE MORE SATISFIED, TO IDENTIFY MORE WITH THE ORGANIZATION AND MAINTAIN ITS LONG-TERM WORKING RELATIONSHIPS. BASED ON THIS FRAMEWORK, THE PRESENT STUDY SOUGHT TO INVESTIGATE THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL-ORGANIZATION COMPATIBILITY WITH WORK RESULTS, BY PERFORMING TWO STUDIES. THE FIRST AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE DIRECT EFFECTS OF ORGANIZATION INDIVIDUAL COMPATIBILITY ON ENGAGEMENT AT WORK AS WELL AS THE MODERATION OF NATIONAL CULTURE IN SUCH A RELATIONSHIP.THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF 473 BRAZILIAN AND NORWEGIAN PARTICIPANTS OF BOTH SEXES, WHO RESPONDED TO THE VERSION ONLINE OF MEASURES OF ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES, NATIONAL CULTURE AND ENGAGEMENT. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT ALL DIMENSIONS OF INDIVIDUAL-ORGANIZATION COMPATIBILITY WERE POSITIVELY AND SIGNIFICANTLY RELATED TO ENGAGEMENT AT WORK. AT RELATIONS BETWEEN THE DIMENSIONS OF INDIVIDUAL-ORGANIZATION COMPATIBILITY RELATED TO VALUES ¿¿OF CONSERVATISM, HARMONY, EGALITARIANISM AND AUTONOMY WERE MODERATED BY THE INDIVIDUALISM / COLLECTIVISM. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT CULTURAL VALUES ¿¿ARE RELEVANT TO THE INTERPRETATION OF VARIATIONS IN THE EFFECTS OF INDIVIDUAL-ORGANIZATION COMPATIBILITY ON THE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT. THE SECOND STUDY SOUGHT TO IDENTIFY THE IMPACT OF INDIVIDUAL-ORGANIZATION COMPATIBILITY ON THE INTENTION OF TURNOVER, AS WELL AS THE MODERATION OF EMPLOYEE CONFIDENCE IN THE ORGANIZATION IN THIS RELATIONSHIP. THE SAMPLE COMPRISED 381 WORKERS OF BOTH SEXES. PARTICIPANTS RESPONDED TO ONLINE VERSIONS LINE OF MEASURES OF ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES, EMPLOYEE CONFIDENCE IN THE ORGANIZATION AND ROTATION INTENTION.THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE GREATER THE COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE ORGANIZATION, REGARDING THE VALUES ¿¿OF CONSERVATISM AND HARMONY, LESS THE INTENTION OF TURNOVER. TRUST IN THE COMPANY'S ETHICAL STANDARDS ORGANIZATION MODERATED THE INDIVIDUAL-ORGANIZATION COMPATIBILITY RELATIONSHIP ASSOCIATED WITH VALUES ¿¿OF AUTONOMY AND DOMINANCE WITH THE INTENTION OF ROTATION. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE ORGANIZATION'S ETHICAL STANDARDS HELPS TO ACCENTUATE THE NEGATIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COMPATIBILITY ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH VALUES ¿¿AND THE INTENTION OF ROTATION. AT CONTRIBUTIONS OF THIS DISSERTATION ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPOSAL OF MECHANISMS THAT CONDITION THE EFFECTS OF COMPATIBILITY ON DIFFERENT WORK RESULTS, WHICH ALLOWED ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE NOMOLOGICAL COMPATIBILITY NETWORK INDIVIDUAL-ORGANIZATION.

ABSTRACT
A FIELD RESEARCH WAS CARRIED OUT WITH 117 TEACHERS OF PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION IN MUNICIPAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF SÃO GONÇALO ; GUIDED BY THE THEORY OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS ; AIMING TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE TEACHERS OF THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE NETWORK OF THIS MUNICIPALITY REPRESENT THE CHILD IN THE PRESENT TIME. DATA COLLECTION WAS PERFORMED WITH QUESTIONNAIRES, FREE RECALL AND INVENTORY OF TEACHING PRACTICES. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF THE CHILD BY THESE TEACHERS, TO ANALYZE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CHILD 'S SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS AND THE TEACHING PRACTICES OF THE TEACHERS OF THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS OF THIS CITY, AS WELL AS TO COMPARE THE RESULTS OBTAINED BETWEEN THESE NETWORKS. WITH THE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS IT WAS VERIFIED THAT THE CHILD REPRESENTATION OF THE PARTICIPATING TEACHERS IS FORMED MOSTLY BY POSITIVE ELEMENTS, WITH A GREAT AFFECTIVE LOAD AND WITH GREAT POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT, SUFFERING GREAT INFLUENCE OF THE ENVIRONMENT FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT TO BE ENHANCED. IT WAS ALSO OBSERVED THAT THERE IS A GREAT POSSIBILITY THAT THEIR REPRESENTATIONS ARE INFLUENCING THEIR PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES IN THE DAILY LIFE OF THE INSTITUTIONS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION THAT WORK SINCE THE COHERENCES FOUND BETWEEN THE ANSWERS GIVEN TO THE DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTS USED IN THE RESEARCH.

ABSTRACT
RETIREMENT IS ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGING THEMES FOR THE BRAZILIAN REALITY, CONSIDERING THE ACCELERATED PACE OF POPULATION AGING, SOCIAL INEQUALITIES AND THE DIFFICULTY OF BRAZILIANS IN PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE. WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE ACADEMY, IT IS NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT PSYCHOSOCIAL RESEARCH THAT IDENTIFIES THE VARIABLES THAT INTERFERE IN PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS, AS WELL AS PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL INTERVENTIONS THAT STIMULATE REFLECTION ON RETIREMENT PLANNING. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS DISSERTATION WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE PHENOMENON OF FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT. THEREFORE, A LITERATURE REVIEW WAS PERFORMED, WHICH ANALYZED THE STATE OF THE ART OF THIS THEME IN BRAZIL, IN THE LIGHT OF PSYCHOLOGY. IN ADDITION, TRANSLATION, ADAPTATION AND VALIDATION OF THE INVENTORY ON FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT (IPFA) WAS ALSO CARRIED OUT, BASED ON THE STUDIES OF HERSHEY ET AL., AND APPLIED IN A SAMPLE OF 515 HEALTH CARE WORKERS FROM THE CITY OF NITERÓI. AFTER THE VALIDATION OF THE INSTRUMENT, A PSYCHO MOTIVATIONAL MODEL OF INFLUENCES IN FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT WAS TESTED IN A PORTION OF THE SAMPLE. IN THIS MODEL, RETIREMENT SAVINGS (DEPENDENT VARIABLE) AND PARENTAL INFLUENCE, GOAL CLARITY AND LEVEL OF PLANNING ACTIVITIES (INDEPENDENT VARIABLES) WERE EMPHASIZED, USING MEDIATION AND MODERATION RELATIONSHIPS AS INNOVATION TO THE ORIGINAL MODEL. THE RESULTS POINTED TO A MODEL IN WHICH THE CLARITY OF GOALS MEDIATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTAL INFLUENCE AND SAVINGS FOR RETIREMENT; THE LEVEL OF PLANNING ACTIVITIES MODERATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTAL INFLUENCE AND GOAL CLARITY. SUCH FINDINGS REITERATE THE COMPLEXITY OF FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT, IN WHICH A NUMBER OF FACTORS PLAY IMPORTANT ROLES IN PREDICTING AND CONSTRUCTING EFFECTIVE SAVINGS BEHAVIORS FOR THE FUTURE. IN THE END, IT WAS VERIFIED THE NEED TO DEVELOP NEW STUDIES AND ORGANIZATIONAL POLICIES THAT LEAD TO FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT, FUNDAMENTAL TO AGING WITH QUALITY. IN ADDITION TO THE ACADEMIC SCOPE, ORGANIZATIONAL ACTIONS NEED TO BE DRAWN UP IN ORDER TO SENSITIZE WORKERS ABOUT FINANCIAL PLANNING AS A MEASURE THAT MUST ACCOMPANY THE ENTIRE PROFESSIONAL TRAJECTORY, TO PROMOTE WELL-BEING BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF WORK. FINANCIAL EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS AND ORGANIZATIONS ALSO PLAYS A RELEVANT ROLE IN ENCOURAGING SAVINGS BEHAVIORS AND STIMULATING WORKER RESPONSIBILITY.

ABSTRACT
THIS DISSERTATION AIMED TO UNDERSTAND THE SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING OF YOUNG ADULTS, ASSOCIATING IT WITH THE PARTICULAR CONDITIONS OF LIFE AND THE PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS OF INDIVIDUALS. THE FIRST STUDY INVESTIGATED THE SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING OF A SAMPLE OF 23 PARTICIPANTS, DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS, MALE (13 PARTICIPANTS) AND FEMALE (10 PARTICIPANTS). THROUGH FOCUS GROUP INTERVIEWS THE PARTICIPANTS WERE INVITED TO RELATE THEIR EXPERIENCE OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE AFFECTS AND THEIR SATISFACTION AND DISSATISFACTION WITH LIFE TO THE SITUATIONS AND CONTEXTS THEY EXPERIENCE IN THE TRANSITION TO ADULT LIFE. THE REPORTS OF EACH INTERVIEW WERE DIVIDED INTO CLASSES THROUGH A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS SOFTWARE AND THE CONTENT OF EACH CLASS WAS UNDERSTOOD FROM THE COMPONENTS OF SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING AND SITUATIONS PERTAINING TO THE TRANSITION TO ADULT LIFE MEN DEMONSTRATED EXPERIENCING MORE POSITIVE AFFECTS AND SATISFACTION WITH LIFE, THESE COMPONENTS BEING ASSOCIATED WITH INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS AND ACHIEVEMENTS. WOMEN REPORTED MORE NEGATIVE AFFECTS AND DISSATISFACTION WITH LIFE ASSOCIATED WITH LOW SUPPORT AND SOCIAL INTERACTION AND OBSTACLES TO ACHIEVING GOALS. DIFFERENCES ARE PRESENTED AND DISCUSSED. THE SECOND STUDY AIMED TO VERIFY THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING, SOCIAL SKILLS, RESILIENCE, COPING STRATEGIES AMONG 588 PARTICIPANTS (331 WOMEN AND 257 MEN) BETWEEN 18 AND 29 YEARS. STATISTICAL TESTS WERE PERFORMED TO VERIFY THE ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN THE VARIABLES AND THEIR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SEX, AGE AND SCHOOLING. IN ADDITION STATISTICAL PROCEDURES WERE PERFORMED TO VERIFY THE PREDICTION OF THE FOUR VARIABLES ON SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING, CONSIDERING SOCIAL SKILLS AND SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING AS MODERATORS OF THE PREDICTION OF RESILIENCE AND COPING ABOUT SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE VARIABLES WERE SIGNIFICANTLY ASSOCIATED AND DIFFERENCES REGARDING GENDER, AGE AND SCHOOLING WERE FOUND. ALL VARIABLES, OR AT LEAST SOME OF THEIR DIMENSIONS, PREDICTED SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING, JUST AS THE TESTED WEIGHTS WERE CONFIRMED. THE FINDINGS PRESENT AN OVERVIEW OF HOW YOUNG PEOPLE FEEL IN TRANSITION TO ADULTHOOD, DEMONSTRATING THAT LIFE SITUATIONS AND THAT PSYCHOSOCIAL VARIABLES PROMOTE SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING IN A CHALLENGING PHASE.

ABSTRACT
THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS DISSERTATION WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE INFLUENCE OF PERCEPTIONS OF ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE AT WORK AND JOB SATISFACTION OF WORKERS WITH LOW EDUCATION. TO MEET THIS OBJECTIVE, A SURVEY WITH A QUANTITATIVE APPROACH WAS CONDUCTED TO A SAMPLE OF 315 WORKERS (50.2% WOMEN) WITH LOW EDUCATION, UNDERSTOOD AS THOSE WHO HAVE EVEN COMPLETED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, ALL WORKING IN THE SERVICE SECTOR IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. FOR THE DATA COLLECTION, A QUESTIONNAIRE WITH FOUR SCALES WAS APPLIED - ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT SCALE, GENERAL JOB SATISFACTION SCALE, QUALITY OF LIFE ASSESSMENT SCALE AND THE CURRENT PERCEPTION SCALE OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND WITH SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC DATA COLLECTION. ALL SCALES HAD ALREADY BEEN APPLIED TO SAMPLES OF BRAZILIAN WORKERS, PRESENTING ADEQUATE INDICATORS OF VALIDITY. DATA WERE COLLECTED IN PERSON AT A SINGLE MOMENT. AS A STRATEGY FOR DATA COLLECTION, WE USED A VISUAL RESOURCE OF A MEAL PLATE IMAGE COMPOSED OF FIVE ELEMENTS: RICE, BEANS, STEAK, LETTUCE AND CARROT, IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE RESPONSE SCALE. DATA ANALYSIS WAS PERFORMED THROUGH STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING, WHICH INDICATED SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MOST VARIABLES. THE STUDY CONCLUDED THAT THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS POSITIVELY RELATED TO THE DIMENSIONS OF QWL AND JOB SATISFACTION AMONG WORKERS WITH LOW EDUCATION. ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT WAS POSITIVELY RELATED TO JOB SATISFACTION AND THE PERCEPTION OF PHYSICAL AND SAFETY CONDITIONS, BUT IT HAD A NEGATIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS OF SUCH WORKERS. THE RESULTS CONFIRM SOME PREVIOUS RESEARCH AND DIVERGE FROM OTHERS CARRIED OUT WITH WORKERS WITH HIGHER EDUCATION LEVELS. LIMITATIONS AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE STUDY WERE POINTED OUT AND A RESEARCH AGENDA WAS PROPOSED.
KEYWORDS: ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT ; PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, QUALITY OF LIFE AT WORK, JOB SATISFACTION, LOW-EDUCATED WORKERS.

ABSTRACT
THIS RESEARCH AIMS TO OBTAIN VALIDITY EVIDENCE OF THE THE CONFORMITY TO FEMININE NORMS INVENTORY (CFNI) AND OF THE CONFORMITY TO MASCULINE NORMS INVENTORY (CMNI) IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT. IN ADDITION, WE SOUGHT TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF RESPONSE BIASES ON THE SUBJECTS' SCORES. FOR THAT, WE USED THE ANCHORING VIGNETTES AND THE FORCED-CHOICE MODEL. THE FIRST STUDY CONSISTED OF A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW TO EVALUATE THE EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THE INSTRUMENTS. THE SECOND STUDY INCLUDED A SAMPLE OF 961 COLLEGE WOMEN AND 621 COLLEGE MEN, AND THE RESULTS OF THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS CORROBORATED THE STRUCTURE PRESENTED IN THE ORIGINAL VERSION, COMPOSED OF 84 ITEMS RELATED TO EIGHT FACTORS IN THE FEMALE VERSION AND 94 ITEMS RELATED TO ELEVEN FACTORS IN THE VERSION MALE. THE TOTAL SCALE AND FACTORS PRESENTED GOOD INTERNAL CONSISTENCY INDEXES FOR THE CFNI AND THE CMNI (TOTAL CFNI: ¿ = 0.89, FACTORS: BETWEEN ¿ = 0.63 TO ¿ = 0.93, TOTAL CMNI: ¿ = 0.93, FACTORS: BETWEEN ¿ = 0.61 TO ¿ = 0.91). THE THIRD STUDY GATHERED A SAMPLE OF 528 COLLEGE WOMEN AND 314 COLLEGE MEN. THE VERSIONS OF THE INSTRUMENTS USED WERE THE CONFORMITY TO FEMININE NORMS INVENTORY-45 (CFNI-45) AND THE CONFORMITY TO MASCULINE NORMS INVENTORY-46 (CMNI-46). THE INSTRUMENTS WERE AVAILABLE IN TWO RESPONSE SCALES: TRADITIONAL VERSION AND FORCED CHOICE VERSION. CONFIRMATORY FACTORIAL ANALYZES SHOWED THAT THE UNDERLYING STRUCTURE OF THE INSTRUMENTS WAS CORROBORATED IN BOTH CASES. THE INTERNAL CONSISTENCY OF THE INSTRUMENTS WAS ADEQUATE (TRADITIONAL VERSION OF RESPONSE: CFNI-45 TOTAL: ¿ = 0.85, FACTORS BETWEEN ¿ = 0.52 UNTIL ¿ = 0.91, TOTAL CMNI-46: ¿ = 0.89, FACTORS BETWEEN ¿ = 0.78 TO ¿ = 0.92).

ABSTRACT
HARASSMENT IS AN EVIL THAT PERMEATES THE SOCIETY ACQUIRING SPECIFIC NAMES ACCORDING TO THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT ANCHOR THEMSELVES. IN THE PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT, HARASSMENT IS MAINLY CONDITIONED BY VERTICAL ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURES, WHICH AIM FOR PROFIT TO THE EXPENSE OF THE HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT AT WORK. THE AGGRESSOR ASSUMES PHYSICAL AND /OR PSYCHOLOGICAL OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOR CONDUCT WHICH CAUSE SUFFERING TO THE VICTIM. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT WOMEN HAVE EXPERIENCED MORE INCIDENCES OF BULLYING AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT WORK THAN THEIR MALE COUNTERPARTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE USUALLY TAKE A SOCIAL PLACE OF INFERIORITY COMPARED TO MEN. THIS QUALITATIVE ACADEMIC STUDY AIMS TO UNDERSTAND COPING STRATEGIES AND PROCESSES OF OVERCOMING MORAL AND/OR SEXUAL HARASSMENT SUFFERED BY WORKING WOMEN LIVING IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL. SEMISTRUCTURED INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED IN WOMEN LIVING IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA OF RIO DE JANEIRO, WHO HAD BEEN HARASSED AT WORK FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS. FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE DATA, THE IRAMUTEQ TEXTUAL ANALYSIS SOFTWARE (INTERFACE FOR MULTIDIMENSIONELLES ANALYZES OF TEXTESET DE QUESTIONNAIRES) WAS USED. FOUR CLASSES OF TEXT SEGMENTS WERE FOUND: THE PAIN OF HARASSMENT, IMPERSONALIZATION, RATIONALIZATION AND OVERCOMING HARASSMENT. THE RESULTS POINT TO THE DIFFICULTY OF OVERCOMING PAIN CAUSED BY HARASSMENT AND THAT, OFTEN, THE SEARCH FOR ALTERNATIVES TO OVERCOMING IS DONE BY DISQUALIFICATION, DENIAL OR NATURALIZATION OF THE FACT. FEW WERE THE QUEST SPEECHES FOR REAL OVERCOMING. THROUGH DENIAL, MOST VICTIMS RESORT TO PROTECTIVE FACTORS (CREATIVE PAIN, PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT, AND FIRM ACCEPTANCE OF REALITY) AS COPING STRATEGIES.

ABSTRACT
RETIREMENT IS ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGING THEMES FOR THE BRAZILIAN REALITY, CONSIDERING THE ACCELERATED PACE OF POPULATION AGING, SOCIAL INEQUALITIES AND THE DIFFICULTY OF BRAZILIANS IN PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE. WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE ACADEMY, IT IS NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT PSYCHOSOCIAL RESEARCH THAT IDENTIFIES THE VARIABLES THAT INTERFERE IN PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS, AS WELL AS PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL INTERVENTIONS THAT STIMULATE REFLECTION ON RETIREMENT PLANNING. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS DISSERTATION WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE PHENOMENON OF FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT. THEREFORE, A LITERATURE REVIEW WAS PERFORMED, WHICH ANALYZED THE STATE OF THE ART OF THIS THEME IN BRAZIL, IN THE LIGHT OF PSYCHOLOGY. IN ADDITION, TRANSLATION, ADAPTATION AND VALIDATION OF THE INVENTORY ON FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT (IPFA) WAS ALSO CARRIED OUT, BASED ON THE STUDIES OF HERSHEY ET AL., AND APPLIED IN A SAMPLE OF 515 HEALTH CARE WORKERS FROM THE CITY OF NITERÓI. AFTER THE VALIDATION OF THE INSTRUMENT, A PSYCHO MOTIVATIONAL MODEL OF INFLUENCES IN FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT WAS TESTED IN A PORTION OF THE SAMPLE. IN THIS MODEL, RETIREMENT SAVINGS (DEPENDENT VARIABLE) AND PARENTAL INFLUENCE, GOAL CLARITY AND LEVEL OF PLANNING ACTIVITIES (INDEPENDENT VARIABLES) WERE EMPHASIZED, USING MEDIATION AND MODERATION RELATIONSHIPS AS INNOVATION TO THE ORIGINAL MODEL. THE RESULTS POINTED TO A MODEL IN WHICH THE CLARITY OF GOALS MEDIATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTAL INFLUENCE AND SAVINGS FOR RETIREMENT ; THE LEVEL OF PLANNING ACTIVITIES MODERATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTAL INFLUENCE AND GOAL CLARITY. SUCH FINDINGS REITERATE THE COMPLEXITY OF FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT, IN WHICH A NUMBER OF FACTORS PLAY IMPORTANT ROLES IN PREDICTING AND CONSTRUCTING EFFECTIVE SAVINGS BEHAVIORS FOR THE FUTURE. IN THE END, IT WAS VERIFIED THE NEED TO DEVELOP NEW STUDIES AND ORGANIZATIONAL POLICIES THAT LEAD TO FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR RETIREMENT, FUNDAMENTAL TO AGING WITH QUALITY. IN ADDITION TO THE ACADEMIC SCOPE, ORGANIZATIONAL ACTIONS NEED TO BE DRAWN UP IN ORDER TO SENSITIZE WORKERS ABOUT FINANCIAL PLANNING AS A MEASURE THAT MUST ACCOMPANY THE ENTIRE PROFESSIONAL TRAJECTORY, TO PROMOTE WELL-BEING BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF WORK.

ABSTRACT
THE LITERATURE POINTS TO DIFFERENT MODELS AND DEFINITIONS OF JOB SATISFACTION. THE PRESENT STUDY REVIEWS THE MAIN RESEARCH WORKS PUBLISHED IN BRAZIL ON MEASURES OF SATISFACTION AND THE BEST STRUCTURE FOR IT AND EVALUATES THE MEASUREMENT INVARIANCE. THE LITERATURE REVIEW POINTED OUT THAT THE MOST WIDELY USED MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT IS THE JOB SATISFACTION SCALE DEVELOPED BY MIRLENE SIQUEIRA. IT HAS ALSO BEEN IDENTIFIED THAT FEW STUDIES USE CONFIRMATORY FACTORIAL ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES OR COMPARE ALTERNATIVE STRUCTURAL MODELS. THEREFORE, THE PRESENT RESEARCH IDENTIFIES PROPERTIES RELATED TO THE JOB SATISFACTION SCALE CONSIDERING THE ASPECTS OF ITS STRUCTURE AND THE APPLICABILITY OF THE MEASUREMENT. THE INVESTIGATION WAS CARRIED OUT THROUGH CONFIRMATORY FACTORIAL ANALYSIS IN 745 BRAZILIANS WORKERS (58.9% WOMEN) OF DIFFERENT PROFESSIONAL CATEGORIES. IN THIS ANALYSIS, THE STRUCTURAL MODEL WAS COMPARED IN DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS (CORRELATED, UNCORRELATED, HIERARCHICAL AND BIFACTORIAL). THE RESULTS SHOW THAT BIFACTOR MODEL HAS MORE SIGNIFICANT ADJUSTMENTS. THE MEASUREMENT INVARIANCE WAS ALSO TESTED FROM THE FOLLOWING ANALYSES: CONFIGURAL INVARIANCE, METRIC INVARIANCE, SCALAR INVARIANCE, AND INVARIANCE OF THE MEAN OF THE LATENT VARIABLE, CONSIDERING THE WORKING TIME, AGE GROUP AND STATUS OF THE PARTICIPANTS. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE MEASUREMENT IS INVARIANT FOR MOST OF THE CONDITIONS TESTED, WHICH ALLOWS TO INDICATE A WIDE USE OF JOB SATISFACTION SCALE. THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS STUDY AND RESEARCH AGENDA ON THE SUBJECT ARE PRESENTED IN THE FINAL CONSIDERATIONS OF THIS STUDY.

ABSTRACT
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS A THEME THAT CHALLENGES RESEARCHERS AND PROFESSIONALS THAT WORKS IN THIS AREA. THE PURPOSE OF THIS THESIS WAS TO DISCUSS SIMILARITIES AND PECULIARITIES OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN DIFFERENT PROFESSIONS. THEREFORE, FOUR STUDIES WERE CONDUCTED. THE FIRST ONE WAS TO BUILD A THEORETICAL MODEL OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT BASED ON GROUNDED THEORY, WITH 25 IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS WITH FIVE PROFESSIONAL CATEGORIES: LAWYERS, BUSINESSMEN, ENGINEERS, PHYSICIANS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS. THE RESULTS POINTED TO SIMILARITIES AND SPECIFICITIES IN CAREER PATHS BETWEEN PROFESSIONS. IT IS POSSIBLE TO PROPOSE A TRANSOCUPATIONAL MODEL OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, WITH SIX CENTRAL ELEMENTS: WORK CONTEXT, MOTIVATION, FORMATION / LEARNING, RELATIONAL ELEMENTS, LIVED EXPERIENCES AND DAILY PROFESSIONAL LIFE. STUDY 2 PROPOSED TO CONSOLIDATE THE THEORETICAL MODEL DEVELOPED IN STUDY 1, BASED ON THE ANALYSIS OF THE TRAJECTORY OF WORKERS IN DIFFERENT OCCUPATIONS. THUS, NINE FOCAL GROUPS WERE HELD WITH LAWYERS, BUSINESSMEN, ENGINEERS, PHYSICIANS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS. FROM THE CATEGORICAL CONTENT ANALYSIS EMERGED FIVE DIMENSIONS AND 29 SUBDIMENSIONS, RESULTING IN A MODEL OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE WORKPLACE, SUPPORTED BY THEORETICAL MODELS OF INDIVIDUAL LEARNING AT WORK. STUDY 3 AIMED TO BUILD A PANORAMA OF PROPELLERS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMMON TO DIFFERENT OCCUPATIONS IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT. THE STUDY HEARD 408 WORKERS FROM DIFFERENT SECTORS AND HAD A CATEGORICAL ANALYSIS PERFORMED BY TEN JUDGES, WHO CLASSIFIED THE PROPELLERS ACCORDING TO THE THEORETICAL MODELS OF STUDIES 1 AND 2. STUDY 4, WHICH CONCLUDES THE THESIS, AIMED TO COMPARE PERCEPTIONS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND ITS THRUSTERS IN PARTICIPANTS WITH AND WITHOUT GRADUATE STUDIES. FOR THAT, A RESEARCH WAS CARRIED OUT, WITH A SCALE OF FORCED CHOICE, IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE RESPONSE BIASES OF PERCEPTUAL MEASURES BASED ON LIKERT SCALES. THUS, THE RESEARCH ALLOWED PARTICIPANTS TO PRIORITIZE THE ELEMENTS THAT HAD A GREATER OR LESSER INFLUENCE ON THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. IN ADDITION, THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN THOSE WHO HAVE AND THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE A POSTGRADUATE DEGREE WAS EVALUATED THROUGH TWO SCALES WITH EVIDENCE OF PSYCHOMETRIC VALIDITY AND THE USE OF ANCHORS TO ADJUST THE ANSWERS TO THE JUDGMENT SCALE OF EACH PARTICIPANT. THE SAMPLE WAS OF 405 WORKERS OF DIFFERENT OCCUPATIONS, BEING 388 VALID CASES. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT THERE ARE MORE SIMILARITIES THAN DIFFERENCES IN THE PROPELLANTS OF THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE PARTICIPANTS WITH AND WITHOUT POST-GRADUATION, ALTHOUGH WITH SOME DIFFERENT PROPELLANTS FOR THE TWO GROUPS. TOGETHER, THE FOUR STUDIES OF THIS THESIS ALLOWED OFFERING THEORETICAL, METHODOLOGICAL AND PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STUDY OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FROM THE PERCEPTION OF DIFFERENT PROFESSIONAL / OCCUPATIONAL CATEGORIES.

ABSTRACT
THE PRESENT RESEARCH WAS AIMED AT VERIFYING THE OCCURRENCE OF BURNOUT SYNDROME IN A SAMPLE OF WORKERS FROM CHILDREN EDUCATION. 451 SUBJECTS TOOK PART IN THIS STUDY. PROFESSIONALS FROM UMEI, MUNICIPAL UNITIES OF CHILDREN EDUCATION FROM NITERÓI, OF BOTH SEXES, WITH AGES RANGING FROM 25 TO 68, WHO ANSWERED TO THE MASLACH BURNOUT INVENTORY (MBI) AND TO A SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC SURVEY. THE RESULTS SHOW OCCURRENCE OF BURNOUT IN 7,3% OF THE SAMPLE. THE BURNOUT’S DIMENSIONS – EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION, DEPERSONALIZATION, THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL’S EFFICACY – THESE WERE THE DEPENDENT VARIABLES ON THE MODEL OF MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION, WHICH HAD AS INDEPENDENT VARIABLES THE SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES RELATED TO CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SUBJECT, SUCH AS: MUNICIPAL OR STATE SCHOOLS, LABOR HOURS, TYPE OF INSTITUTION, LENGTH OF SERVICE, FUNCTION AT THE TEACHING UNITY, AGE, SEX, MARITAL STATUS, SCHOOLING AND STUDIES MAINTENANCE, WHAT SUPPLIED US WITH THE PROFILE OF THE PROFESSIONAL TEACHER. THE STUDY SHOWED THAT, IN SPITE OF HAVING PRESENTED STATISTICALLY MEANINGFUL RESULTS, PREDICTIVE VALUE AND INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTION OF SOME SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES, AN IRRELEVANT EXPLANATION WAS ACHIEVED CONCERNING THE TOTAL RANGE OBTAINED. THE RESULT FOUND, THEREFORE, POINTS AT LIMITATIONS THAT LEAD US TO FURTHER DEEPENING STUDIES AND RESEARCHES ON THE STUDIED GROUP.

ABSTRACT
THE TRANSITION TO THE 6TH GRADE, MIDDLE SCHOOL, BRINGS STUDENTS A NUMBER OF UNCERTAINTIES AND ANXIETY. HENCE, THE FAMILY PLAYS A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THIS PROCESS AS IT IS WITHIN THE FAMILY THAT THE FIRST SOCIAL RELATIONS ARE ESTABLISHED. IN THE DAILY PRACTICE OF THESE RELATIONS, PARENTS SEEK TO ORIENTATE THEIR KIDS¿ BEHAVIOUR MAKING USE OF PARENTAL EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES TO REACH ADEQUATE BEHAVIOUR PATTERNS WHICH ALLOW FOR HEALTHIER SOCIAL LIFE. THE USE OF THESE SOCIALIZING STRATEGIES CAN LEAD THEIR KIDS TO DEVELOP HEALTHIER BEHAVIOUR, WHICH SHOW THAT POSITIVE PRACTICES CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A REPERTOIRE OF SOCIAL SKILLS THAT MINIMIZE BEHAVIOUR PROBLEMS AND IMPROVE STUDENTS ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. IT IS WORTH POINTING OUT THAT PARENTS¿ INVOLVEMENT, MAINLY IN THIS PERIOD OF TRANSITION TO THE SIXTH GRADE, FOSTER THEIR CHILDRENS CONTINUITY AND ACADEMIC SUCCESS. THE PRESENT WORK AIMS TO INVESTIGATE THE PARENTAL PRACTICES, SOCIAL SKILLS, BEHAVIOUR PROBLEMS AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS IN THE PROCESS OF TRANSITION TO MIDDLE SCHOOL. TWO QUESTIONS ORIENTED THE PRESENT THESIS: WHAT PARENTAL PRACTICES GUIDE THE CHILDREN’S EDUCATION DURING MIDDLE SCHOOL? HOW DO STUDENTS BEHAVE IN RELATION TO SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE? THE RESEARCH PRESENTS THREE QUANTITATIVE STUDIES AND A QUALITATIVE ONE. THE FIRST ANALYSIS AIMED AT COMPARING THE PERCEPTION OF PARENTAL PRACTICES OF FATHERS’ AND MOTHERS’ WITH THEIR KIDS’ PERCEPTIONS OF SUCH PRACTICES. THE SECOND STUDY AIMED TO IDENTIFY TO WHAT EXTENT SOCIAL SKILLS ARE PRESENT IN EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES OF MOTHERS’ TOWARDS THEIR CHILDREN AND COMPARE MOTHERS’ EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS OF BOYS AND GIRLS, IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS. THE THIRD STUDY ANALYSED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTAL PRACTICES, SOCIAL SKILLS AND BEHAVIOURAL PROBLEMS IN ADOLESCENTS IN THE 6TH AND 7TH GRADE, MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND VERIFIED THE IMPACT OF PARENTAL PRACTICES ON THESE STUDENTS’ SOCIAL SKILLS AND BEHAVIOURAL PROBLEMS, IN THE LIGHT OF THEIR VARIABLES FINALLY, THE FOURTH STUDY AIMED AT COMPARING THE VARIABLES AND RELATIONS BASED ON DATA FROM PARENTS AND STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE 6TH, 7TH AND 8TH GRADES OF MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE RESEARCH ANALYSED 385 PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS OF BOTH SEXES, BETWEEN THE AGES OF 9 AND 15 (M=11,5; DP= 0,8) AND 385 FATHERS, BESIDES 3 MOTHERS FROM PUBLIC SCHOOL AND 3 MOTHERS FROM PRIVATE SCHOOL, PARTICIPANTS OF THE QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS. THE INSTRUMENTS USED IN THE RESEARCHES ON STUDENTS AND PARENTS WERE INVENTÁRIO DE ESTILOS PARENTAIS (IEP), SISTEMA DE AVALIAÇÃO DE HABILIDADES SOCIAIS (SSRS), PARENTS VERSION, A SCALE OF COMPORTAMENTOS PROBLEMÁTICOS, STUDENTS VERSION, INVENTÁRIO DE PRÁTICAS PARENTAIS (IPP), PARENTS VERSION AND ESCALA DE PRÁTICAS PARENTAIS (EPP), STUDENTS’ VERSION. FOR THE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE STUDY (STUDY 2), IT WAS USED THE ROTEIRO DE ENTREVISTA DE HABILIDADES SOCIAIS EDUCATIVAS PARENTAIS (RE-HSE-P). THE MAIN RESULTS OF THE FIRST STUDY CONSISTED OF THE DIFFERENCES IN THE AVERAGE PERCEPTION OF THE MOTHERS’, FATHERS’ AND IN THE KIDS’PERCEPTION OF THEIR PARENTS’PARENTAL STYLES, WHICH REFLECTED THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PARENTAL FUNCTION PERFORMED BY MOTHERS AND FATHERS, INDICATING THAT THEIR POSITIVE PRACTICES CAN DEVELOP SOCIAL SKILLS WHICH STRENGTHEN THE BONDS BETWEEN PARENTS AND CHILDREN, AND ENCOURAGE MORE RELEVANT FUTURE SOCIAL INTERACTIONS. IN THE SECOND STUDY, THE RESULTS OF THE INTERACTIONS INDICATED THAT MOTHERS OF BOYS AND GIRLS IN BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS PRESENTED A GOOD REPERTOIRE OF HSE-P, HOWEVER, THE NEGATIVE PRACTICES SHOWED A CLINICAL REPERTOIRE INFLUENCING BEHAVIOURAL PROBLEMS. IN THE THIRD STUDY, THE RESULTS SHOWED BOTH NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE FEEDBACK IN PARENTAL PRACTICES. WHEN PARENTS MAKE USE OF NEGATIVE PRACTICES THE AFFECTION, CIVILITY AND SOCIAL SKILLS REPERTOIRE IS SMALLER. POSITIVE PRACTICES THAT INCLUDE INTEREST, SUPPORT, A COMMUNICATION PATTERN AND DIALOGUE, MINIMIZE RISKS AND HIGH LEVELS OF ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR. THE FOURTH STUDY, LONGITUDINAL, FROM THE 6TH TO THE 8TH GRADES, INDICATED SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS’ AND PARENTS’ SOCIAL SKILLS ABOVE AVERAGE PERFORMANCE. THE PARENTS ASSESSED POSITIVELY THE STUDENTS’ SOCIAL SKILLS DURING THE THREE YEARS OF MIDDLE SCHOOL. NOTICEABLY, THERE WAS IMPROVEMENT IN COGNITIVE, SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT, WHICH PROVES THAT POSITIVE PRACTICES AND SOCIAL SKILLS PLAY AN INVALUABLE ROLE IN ACADEMIC SUCCESS, APART FROM DEVELOPING HEALTHIER RELATIONSHIPS TO BETTER SOCIAL LIFE. THEREFORE, THE ANSWERS TO THE INITIAL QUESTIONS IN THE PRESENT STUDY SHOWED THAT THE PRESENCE OF POSITIVE PARENTAL PRACTICES IN CHILDREN’S EDUCATION, FOSTER HEALTHIER BEHAVIOR, MINIMIZING PROBLEMS AND HELPING WITH STUDENT’S ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE.

ABSTRACT
THIS THESIS WAS COMPOSED OF FIVE STUDIES THAT HAVE AS MAIN OBJECTIVE TO TEST A MULTIDETERMINED MODEL OF ADAPTATION TO THE UNIVERSITY, CONSIDERING A CRITICAL PERIOD FOR THE FIRST-YEAR STUDENT. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE FIRST STUDY WAS THE ADAPTATION AND VALIDATION OF THE SELF-MONITORING SCALE (SMS) IN THE 18-ITEM VERSION AND 200 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS PARTICIPATED. THE ANALYSIS INDICATED THE EXTRACTION OF TWO FACTORS AND THE EXCLUSION OF EIGHT ITEMS. THE SECOND STUDY INVESTIGATED THE STRUCTURE OF SMS AND ITS RELATION WITH THE SOCIAL PROBLEM-SOLVING INVENTORY. 400 STUDENTS ATTENDED. THE CONFIRMATORY FACTORIAL ANALYSIS FOUND ADJUSTMENT INDEXES THAT SUPPORT THE ONE AND TWO FACTOR MODEL AND THE STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING SHOWED A NEGATIVE IMPACT OF PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY AT THE SELF-MONITORING LEVELS. THE THIRD ONE ANALYZED THE DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE SMS THROUGH THE ANALYSIS OF NETWORK AND WAS COUNTED ON 500 STUDENTS. THE ANALYSIS PRESERVED THE 18 ITEMS, KEPT TWO FACTORS APPROACHING THE ORIGINAL MODEL AND PRESENTED EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY THAT ALLOW ITS USE IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT. THE FOURTH STUDY INVESTIGATED CONCEPTIONS ABOUT RESOLUTIONS OF SOCIAL PROBLEMS AND SELF-MONITORING AND COMPARED THEM WITH THE CONCEPTS APPROACHED IN THE LITERATURE. THE FOCAL GROUP METHOD WAS USED AND THE GROUPS CONSISTED OF 11-12 STUDENTS. THE CATEGORIZATION OF THE SPEECHES POINTED OUT THAT THE RESOLUTION OF SOCIAL PROBLEMS WAS CONCEIVED AS EXPERIENCES OF DIFFICULT MANAGEMENT RELATED TO THE LACK OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE INSTITUTION, THE TEACHING DIDACTICS, THE EVALUATION CRITERIA; THE SELF-MONITORING AS AN EXPRESSION OF BEHAVIORS THAT CAN BE CONTROLLED, EVALUATED AND SELF-REGULATED. THE FIFTH STUDY AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE VARIABLES SOCIAL SKILLS (SS) AND SOCIAL PROBLEM-SOLVING (SPS) WITH ACADEMIC ADAPTATION (ACA), IF SS AND SPS EXPLAIN DIRECTLY THE VARIABLE ACA, IF SPS AND SS EXPLAIN ACA MEDIATED BY THE VARIABLES SELF-MONITORING, SELF-EFFICACY AND COPING, AND COMPARE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE BEHAVIOR OF THESE VARIABLES IN QUOTA AND NON-QUOTA STUDENTS. 637 STUDENTS FROM PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS PARTICIPATED. THERE WERE FOUR MODELS: A TOTAL MODEL (STUDENTS FROM PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS), ONE FOR STUDENTS FROM PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS, ONE FOR STUDENTS FROM PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS AND ONE FOR SHAREHOLDERS. THE MODELS EMPHASIZED THE RELEVANCE OF THE BELIEF IN SELF-EFFICACY, SELF-MONITORING, SOCIAL PROBLEM-SOLVING AND SOCIAL SKILLS FOR ACADEMIC ADAPTATION AND POINTED OUT THE EFFORT OF THE QUOTA STUDENTS FOR SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC INTEGRATION. PROSPECTIVE STUDIES CAN INVESTIGATE SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC DATA.

ABSTRACT
THE SATISFACTION AT WORK DEPENDS ON A GROUP OF PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS AS WELL AS ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. THE GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS DISSERTATION WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE RELATIONSHIP AMONG VARIABLES SUCH AS CONFLICT IN THE WORK ENVIRONMENT, SATISFACTION AT THE WORK, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND INTENTION OF LEAVING THE COMPANY. TO ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVE, TWO STUDIES WERE CARRIED OUT. THE FIRST PRESENTED THE CULTURAL ADAPTATION FOR BRAZILIAN SAMPLES AND INITIAL TESTS OF VALIDITY - CONTENT VALIDITY, VALIDITY OF CONFIGURATION AND PREDICTIVE VALIDITY - OF THE SCALE OF TRIPLE CONFLICT (COGNITIVE CONFLICT FOCUSED IN THE TASK, EMOTIONAL CONFLICT FOCUSED IN THE TASK, AND EMOTIONAL CONFLICT FOCUSED IN THE RELATIONSHIP). THE RESEARCH WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITH 404 WORKERS OF DIFFERENT OCCUPATIONS (64% WOMEN), WITH ELECTRONIC AND PERSON TO PERSON DATA COLLECTION. THE ANALYSIS OF DATA CONSIDERED EXPLORATORY FACTORIAL AND CONFIRMATORY ANALYSIS. IT WAS OBTAINED A FACTORIAL STRUCTURE SIMILAR TO THE VERSION OF THE NORWEGIAN SCALE, MAINTAINING THREE DIMENSIONS AND RETENTION OF 10 AMONG THE 12 ORIGINAL ITEMS. THE SECOND STUDY WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITH 471 WORKERS (63% WOMEN) AND IT USED SCALES BUILT AND/OR ADAPTED TO BRAZILIAN SAMPLES, ALL WITH APPROPRIATE PSYCHOMETRIC INDICATORS AND WITH RELATION TO THE FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTS: CONFLICT AT THE WORK, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, SATISFACTION AT THE WORK AND INTENTION OF LEAVING THE COMPANY. THE ANALYSIS WAS MADE THROUGH MODELS OF STRUCTURAL EQUATIONS. A MODEL OF GOOD ADJUSTMENT IT WAS OBTAINED, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE CONFLICTS WITH FOCUS IN THE TASK ARE POSITIVELY RELATED TO THE SATISFACTION AT THE WORK, WHILE THE CONFLICTS WITH FOCUS IN THE RELATIONSHIP PRESENT NEGATIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SATISFACTION. FURTHERMORE, THE SATISFACTION AT THE WORK ACTED AS MEDIATOR OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT AND THE INTENTION OF LEAVING THE COMPANY. THE OBTAINED RESULTS WERE DISCUSSED FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF LITERATURE ON THE FIELD, POINTING OUT LIMITATIONS AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE STUDY. A RESEARCH CALENDAR WAS ALSO PROPOSED.

ABSTRACT
THE GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS THESIS IS TO EVALUATE HOW THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO BUILDS HIS PROFILE BY REVIEWING THE CONCEPT OF SCHOOL MANAGEMENT, SURVEYING AND EVALUATING THE COMPETENCIES REQUIRED FOR THE FUNCTION, AND RECOGNIZING HIS TRAJECTORY AND TRAINING. THIS THESIS IS COMPOSED OF FOUR STUDIES, ONE THEORETICAL AND THREE EMPIRICAL. THE THEORETICAL STUDY CONSISTED OF A NON - SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE THAT AIMED TO IDENTIFY THE EXISTENCE OR NOT OF GAPS IN THE LITERATURE ON THE TOPIC OF SCHOOL MANAGEMENT. THIS THEME WAS DIVIDED INTO FOUR BASIC AXES: DEMOCRATIC SCHOOL MANAGEMENT AND AUTONOMY ; MANAGEMENT, MANAGEMENT AND QUALITY OF EDUCATION ; PROFILE OF THE SCHOOL DIRECTOR, FORMATION AND RESTRUCTURING OF THE FUNCTION ; AND WAYS OF CHOOSING PRINCIPALS IN SCHOOLS. HE REVIEW CONTRIBUTES TO THE STRUCTURING OF THE THEORETICAL BASIS OF THE THESIS. IN THE SECOND STUDY, A QUALITATIVE STUDY WAS CARRIED OUT AND DATA PRODUCTION WAS CARRIED OUT THROUGH FOUR FOCUS GROUPS. PARTICIPATED 28 TEACHERS AND SCHOOL DIRECTORS OF THE PUBLIC NETWORK OF MUNICIPALITIES IN THE LAKES REGION. AT THE END, A LIST OF CORE COMPETENCIES REQUIRED OF THE SCHOOL MANAGER / DIRECTOR WAS DRAWN UP. THESE COMPETENCES WERE COMPARED AND DISCUSSED BASED ON THE REQUIREMENTS REQUIRED FOR THE FUNCTION IN THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS OF THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENTS OF THE STATES OF SÃO PAULO, PARANÁ AND RIO DE JANEIRO. THE THIRD STUDY COMPLEMENTS THE PREVIOUS STUDY, IN ORDER TO EVALUATE THE EXISTENCE OF GAPS IN THE COMPETENCES OF THESE DIRECTORS, IN RELATION TO THEIR PREPARATION FOR THE FUNCTION AND THE IMPORTANCE GIVEN TO THE COMPETENCES LISTED. A QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH WAS CARRIED OUT, WHERE THE SAMPLE COMPRISED PROFESSIONALS FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, MUNICIPAL AND STATE SCHOOLS, TOTALING 430 TEACHERS AND 194 DIRECTORS. TWO SCALES WERE USED: ONE TO MEASURE THE LACK OF COMPETENCE OF SCHOOL PRINCIPALS AND ANOTHER TO MEASURE THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE MEASURE DEVELOPED IN STUDY TWO (TWO) OF THIS THESIS, WHICH CONTAINS 16 COMPETENCIES, WAS USED TO MEASURE THE COMPETENCIES REQUIRED FOR THE UNION LEADER'S PERFORMANCE. IN THE LAST STUDY, THE OBJECTIVE WAS TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE TRAJECTORY, THE FORMATION, THE EXPERIENCE OF THE MANAGER AND THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE EDUCATIONAL POLICIES IN FORCE, INFLUENCE IN THE FORMATION OF THE PROFILE OF THIS PROFESSIONAL. O CONDUCT THE RESEARCH, A QUALITATIVE RESEARCH WAS DEVELOPED, WHERE INDIVIDUAL INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH NINE SCHOOL DIRECTORS AND FORMER DIRECTORS SEEKING AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE VISION THEY HAVE OF THEIR PROFESSIONALISM. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE PROFESSIONALISM OF THE MANAGER IS BUILT CONTINUOUSLY FROM THE EXERCISE OF REFLECTION ON INSTITUTIONAL PRACTICES. BEING A SCHOOL MANAGER IN A CONTEXT OF TENSIONS AND CONTRADICTIONS REQUIRES THE PROFESSIONAL TO BUILD AN IDENTITY THAT ARTICULATES DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS OF COMPETENCE. THEY ALSO DEMONSTRATED THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THE FORMATION OF THE MANAGER AS A PROCESS THAT OCCURS HISTORICALLY, IN A CONTINUOUS WAY AND IS RELATED TO DAILY EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES AND THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

ABSTRACT
THIS DISSERTATION AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE REPERCUSSIONS OF SOCIAL TECHNOLOGY FOR PROFESSIONAL TRAINING (TSCP) ON HUMAN RIGHTS, VIOLENCE AND CONFLICT MEDIATION TO TEACHERS, HEALTH PROFESSIONAL AND SOCIAL WORKERS FROM WELFARE S YSTEMA OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS. TWO STUDIES WERE CARRIED OUT. THE FIRST INCLUDED A SAMPLE O F 299 PROFESSIONALS WORKING IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS SERVING THE POPULATION IN SOCIAL VULNERABILITY IN THE STATE OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL, WHERE THE EXPLORATORY ANALYS IS OF GRAPHS SUGGESTED A STRUCTURE WITH THREE FACTORS: INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP, INFRASTRUCTURE AND WORK PERCEPTIONS WITH VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS PRESENTED LOW RESIDUE INDEXES AND EXCELLENT ADJUSTMENT INDICES. THE RESULTS DEMONSTRATE THE SUITABILITY OF THE SCALE TO INVESTIGATE FACTORS THAT IMPEDE THE APPLICATIO N O F THE CONTENTS OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING. THE SECOND STUDY INVESTIGATED THE LEVELS OF IMPEDIMENTS TO THE APPLICATION OF SOCIAL TECHNOLOGY, USEFULNESS OF CONTENT AND PERCEPTION OF IMMEDIATE RESULTS. IN ADDITION, IT EVALUATED WHETHER THE SELF EFFICACY INDEXES FOR INTERVENTIONS WITH POPULATIONS IN SOCIAL VULNERABILITY (BEFORE AND AFTER TRAINING) ARE RELATED TO THE LEVELS OF IMPEDIMENTS TO THE APPLICATION OF SOCIAL TECH NOLOGY, USEFULNESS OF THE CONTENT AND PERCEPTION OF IMMEDIATE RESULTS. THE SAMPLE WAS ALSO CO M P OSED OF 299 PROFESSIONALS WHO WORK IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS SERVING THE POPULATIONS IN SOCIAL VULNERABILITY IN THE SAME STATE. THE HIGH SCORES ON THE PERCEPTIONS O F IMMEDIATE RESULTS AND UTILITY OF THE CONTENT OF THE TRAINING SUGGEST THAT THE TSCP WAS EF FE C T IVE. THE POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OCCUPATIONAL SELF EFFICACY AND THE PERCEPTION OF IMMEDIATE RESULTS AND THE USEFULNESS OF CONTENT AND THE NEGATIVE RELATION BETWEEN OCCUPATIONAL SELF EFFICACY AND IMPEDIMENTS TO THE APPLICATION OF TRAINING DEMONSTR AT E THAT SELF EFFICACIOUS PROFESSIONALS TEND TO APPLY WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED IN THEIR WORK WITH VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. THESE FINDINGS MADE EXPLICIT THE PARTICULARIT IES OF THE DEMANDS OF THE PROFESSIONALS THAT ATTEND POPULATIONS IN SITUATION OF SOCIAL VULNERABILITY.

ABSTRACT
THE IMPORTANCE OF MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS IN READING AND WRITING LEARNING HAS BEEN STUDIED BY NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL RESEARCHERS. IN AN ALPHABETIC SYSTEM SUCH AS BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE, WRITTEN READING LEARNING USES SYMBOLS (GRAPHEMES) TO REPRESENT SPEECH SOUND (PHONEMES). MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS, AS IT HAS BEEN RESEARCHED, IS A SKILL THAT HELPS IN THE REFLECTION ON THE LANGUAGE HELPING IN THE LEARNING OF READING AND WRITING. OUR STUDY AIMED TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS, READING AND WRITING, EVEN WHEN CONTROLLING FOR VARIABLES SUCH AS VERBAL INTELLIGENCE (WISC VOCABULARY), NON-VERBAL INTELLIGENCE (CUBE - WISC) AND PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS. FOR THIS RESEARCH, 100 CHILDREN FROM THE 1ST AND 2ND AND 3RD YEAR OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (M = 102 MONTHS ; SD = 9.8 MONTHS) FROM A MUNICIPAL SCHOOL IN THE CITY OF MACAÉ PARTICIPATED: 50 CHILDREN WERE IN THE 2ND YEAR AND 50 CHILDREN IN THE 3RD YEAR. IN ORDER TO EVALUATE THE MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS, WE USED GRAMMATICAL ANALOGY (DERIVATIONAL AND FLEXIONAL), MORPHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION, MORPHOLOGICAL DECISION, MORPHOLOGY DECOMPOSITION, AND VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL INTELLIGENCE TASKS AND TDE. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT, EVEN AFTER CONTROLLING FOR PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS AND VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL INTELLIGENCE, THE MEASURES OF MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS CONTRIBUTED TO BOTH READING AND WRITING. THESE RESULTS CORROBORATE WITH POSSIBLE PEDAGOGICAL IMPLICATIONS THAT MAKE FEASIBLE PRACTICES AIMED AT THE AWARENESS AND MANIPULATION OF MORPHEMES AND FAVOR THE LEARNING OF MORPHOLOGY IN THE PROCESS OF READING AND WRITING DEVELOPMENT.

ABSTRACT
THIS RESEARCH AIMS TO BUILD A SCALE OF LEARNING SUPPORT IN THE CONTEXT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE AND TEST A MODEL OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LEARNING SUPPORT, INTENSITY OF CHANGE AND ENGAGEMENT WITH WORK PERFORMANCE. THE DISSERTATION CONSISTS OF TWO STUDIES. THE FIRST PROPOSES THE CONSTRUCTION OF A LEARNING SUPPORT SCALE IN THE CONTEXT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE, AS WELL AS CONTROLLING THE RESPONSE BIAS USING ANCHORS AND INVERTED-NEGATIVE ITEMS. THIS SCALE HAD ITS ORIGIN IN TWO INSTRUMENTS: SCALE OF SUPPORT TO THE LEARNING CREATED BY COELHO JR. (2009) AND SCALE OF CONTEXT OF ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE CONSTRUCTED BY NERY AND NEIVA (2015). THE EVIDENCE OF CONTENT VALIDITY WAS ASSESSED THROUGH JUDGES THAT EVALUATED THE QUALITY OF THE WRITING AND RELEVANCE OF THE ITEMS. PARTICIPANTS WERE 304 BRAZILIAN EMPLOYEES. IN THE FINAL STRUCTURE MODEL, THE SCALE OF SUPPORT TO LEARNING IN CONTEXT OF CHANGE (ESACOM) WAS STRUCTURED BY MEANS OF A ONE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL AND SHOWED ADEQUATE FIT TO THE DATA (RMSEA = 0.14 ; TLI = 0.92). FURTHERMORE, THE ANCHORS AND INVERTED ITEMS IMPROVED THE FACTORIAL LOADS. THE SECOND STUDY PROPOSES TO TEST A MODEL OF UNDERSTANDING THE DIRECT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LEARNING SUPPORT AND WORK PERFORMANCE AND THE INTENSITY OF CHANGE AND PERFORMANCE AT WORK, AS WELL AS THE MEDIATION OF WORK ENGAGEMENT THROUGHOUT THESE RELATIONS. A TOTAL OF 2,774 EMPLOYEES OF A PRIVATE BUSINESS GROUP PARTICIPATED IN THIS STUDY. PARTICIPANTS ANSWERED A QUESTIONNAIRE TO MEASURE LEARNING SUPPORT IN THE CONTEXT OF CHANGE, THE INTENSITY OF CHANGE, ENGAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE AT WORK. THE MEASUREMENT MODEL FOR THE STUDY SHOWED ADEQUATE GOODNESS OF FIT (TLI = 0.99; RMSEA = 0.04). IT SHOULD BE EMPHASIZED THAT IN THIS MODEL THE VARIABLES WERE CONFIGURED AS LATENT, AND AN ADDITIONAL FACTOR OF ACQUIESCENCE WAS ESTIMATED. IN THIS SENSE, ANY TENDENCIES TO RESPOND TO ALL ITEMS IN A POSITIVE WAY (RESPONSE BIAS) WERE REMOVED FROM THE EFFECTS AMONG LATENT VARIABLES. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE CORRELATIONS BETWEEN LEARNING SUPPORT AND PERFORMANCE AND INTENSITY OF CHANGE AND PERFORMANCE WERE POSITIVE, MAINLY THE EFFECT OF MEDIATION OF ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN LEARNING SUPPORT AND PERFORMANCE AND INTENSITY OF CHANGE AND PERFORMANCE. THE RESULTS WERE DISCUSSES BASED ON THE JOB DEMANDS AND RESOURCES MODEL (JDR).

ABSTRACT
THE PRESENT STUDY AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE MEDIATING ROLE OF INTRINSIC MOTIVATION AT WORK IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORK RESOURCES (E.G. AUTONOMY, SOCIAL SUPPORT AND ROLE) AND PERSONAL (E.G., OCCUPATIONAL SELF-EFFICACY) WITH LEVELS OF WORKER ENGAGEMENT. A CONVENIENCE SAMPLE WAS USED WITH 505 WORKERS OF BOTH SEXES AND DIFFERENT BRAZILIAN STATES. THE JOB DEMANDS-RESOURCES (JD-R) MODEL WAS USED AS THE BASIS FOR THE STUDY OF THESE CONSTRUCTS WITH THE VARIABLES WORK INTRINSIC MOTIVATION AND WORK ENGAGEMENT. THE RESULTS DEMONSTRATED THE POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERSONAL AND WORK RESOURCES WITH WORK ENGAGEMENT AND WORK INTRINSIC MOTIVATION. IT WAS ALSO OBSERVED THE PERFORMANCE OF WORK INTRINSIC MOTIVATION AS A MEDIATOR OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JOB RESOURCES (AUTONOMY) AND PERSONAL RESOURCES (SELF-EFFICACY) WITH ENGAGEMENT IN WORK. THE RELATIONS OF THE DEMANDS WITH THE OTHER CONSTRUCTS OF THIS STUDY DID NOT PRESENT STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIPS. THIS RESEARCH PRESENTS RESULTS THAT DEMONSTRATE THE IMPORTANCE OF INTRINSIC MOTIVATION IN THE WORK, AS WELL AS RESOURCES, BOTH PERSONAL (E.G., OCCUPATIONAL SELF-EFFICACY), AND JOB (E.G., AUTONOMY AND SOCIAL SUPPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR) IN INCREASING THE LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT IN WORK. FINALLY, THE FINDINGS OF THIS STUDY EXPOSE HOW MUCH THE CONSTRUCTS INVESTIGATED ARE RELEVANT TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF A HEALTHY WORK ENVIRONMENT.

ABSTRACT
WORK ENGAGEMENT REFERS TO A POSITIVE MENTAL STATUS ASSOCIATED WITH FEELINGS OF STRENGTH, DEDICATION AND ABSORPTION IN PROFESSIONAL TASKS. THIS CONSTRUCT HAS TURNED INTO NA IMPORTANT INDICATOR OF WELLBEING AT WORK AND IS INCREASINGLY STUDIED IN THE FIELD OF POSITIVE ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY. THIS DISSERTATION AIMED TO DEEPEN THE NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK OF TEACHERS¿ WORK ENGAGEMENT IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT THROUGH FOUR STUDIES. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE FIRST STUDY WAS TO ADAPT AND COLLECT INITIAL VALIDITY EVIDENCE FOR THE INTERNAL AND CONVERGENT STRUCTURE OF THE TEACHER SELF-EFFICACY SCALE, INVOLVING 395 TEACHERS. THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSES RESULTED IN A 24-ITEM SCALE, DISTRIBUTED IN SIX FACTORS WITH INTERNAL CONSISTENCY MEASURES OF: 0.83 ; 0.90 ; 0.83 ; 0.91 ; 0.77 ; 0.81. THE SCALE WAS POSITIVE AND STRONGLY CORRELATED WITH GENERAL SELF-EFFICACY ; POSITIVE AND MODERATELY WITH JOB SATISFACTION AND WORK ENGAGEMENT ; AND NEGATIVE AND MODERATELY CORRELATED WITH EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION. THE SECOND STUDY, IN TURN, WAS AIMED AT COLLECTING VALIDITY EVIDENCE FOR THE INTERNAL AND CONVERGENT STRUCTURE OF THE ENGAGED TEACHERS SCALE, INVOLVING 417 TEACHERS. THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSES APPOINTED A FINAL 16-ITEM, VERSION DISTRIBUTED IN FOUR FACTORS, WITH INTERNAL CONSISTENCY MEASURES OF: 0.82; 0.66; 0.85; 0.80. A WEAK AND NEGATIVE CORRELATION WAS FOUND WITH EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION; A POSITIVE MODERATE TO HIGH CORRELATION WITH WORK ENGAGEMENT; AND A POSITIVE WEAK TO MODERATE CORRELATION WITH AFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT. THEREFORE, THE PSYCHOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH SCALES RECOMMEND ITS FUTURE USE IN RESEARCH AND DIAGNOSES UNDERTAKEN IN SCHOOLS. THEN, A THIRD STUDY WAS DEVELOPED, INVOLVING 451 TEACHERS, WHICH ATTEMPTED TO TEST A PREDICTIVE MODEL OF ANTECEDENTS (OVERLOAD, STUDENT MISBEHAVIOR AND SELF-EFFICACY) AND CONSEQUENT (INTENTION TO QUIT WORK AND CRAFTING BEHAVIOR) OF ENGAGEMENT AT WORK. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE STUDENTS’ BAD BEHAVIOR AND THE BURDEN WERE NEGATIVELY CORRELATED WITH WORK ENGAGEMENT, WHILE SELF-EFFICACY WAS POSITIVELY CORRELATED WITH ENGAGEMENT. ENGAGEMENT, IN TURN, WAS NEGATIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTENTION TO LEAVE ONE’S JOB AND POSITIVELY WITH CRAFTING BEHAVIOR. FURTHERMORE, ENGAGEMENT MEDIATED THE NEGATIVE RELATION BETWEEN SELF-EFFICACY AND THE INTENTION TO LEAVE ONE’S JOB; THE POSITIVE RELATION BETWEEN SELF-EFFICACY AND CRAFTING BEHAVIOR; AND THE NEGATIVE RELATION BETWEEN THE STUDENT’S BEHAVIOR AND CRAFTING BEHAVIOR. FINALLY, THE OBJECTIVE OF THE FOURTH STUDY WAS TO TEST THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A CRAFTING BEHAVIOR-BASED INTERVENTION PROGRAM ON WORK ENGAGEMENT, INVOLVING 82 TEACHERS. THE RESULTS EVIDENCED A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CRAFTING BEHAVIOR SCORES BEFORE AND AFTER THE INTERVENTION, IN THE INTERVENTION GROUP, AS WELL AS BETWEEN THE WORK ENGAGEMENT SCORES BEFORE AND AFTER THE INTERVENTION IN THE INTERVENTION GROUP. IN THE CONCLUSION, THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE DISSERTATION ARE PRESENTED, FOLLOWED BY AN AGENDA FOR FUTURE RESEARCH AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE RESULTS FOUND FOR THE CONTEXT OF BRAZILIAN EDUCATION.

ABSTRACT
POPULATION AGING HAS HAD A GLOBAL IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY AND IN VARIOUS SECTORS OF SOCIETY. CONSIDERING THIS SCENARIO, OLDER WORKERS (AGED 45 OR OLDER) ARE EXPECTED TO BE PREPARED FOR THE CAREER-RETIREMENT TRANSITION, WHOSE DECISION MAY INCLUDE THREE OPTIONS: RETIRING PERMANENTLY, CONTINUING TO WORK OR ADOPTING THE BRIDGE EMPLOYMENT OR BLENDED WORK. THE PRESENT STUDY INVESTIGATED WHETHER THE PERSPECTIVE OF FUTURE TIME ALONGSIDE PSYCHOSOCIAL AND WORK CHARACTERISTICS WOULD INFLUENCE THE DECISION OF OLDER WORKERS IN THE CAREER-RETIREMENT TRANSITION. THE RESEARCH WAS CARRIED OUT IN A MIXED ECONOMY COMPANY OF THE INDUSTRIAL AREA OF THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. THE QUANTITATIVE STUDY CONSTRUCTED AND TESTED INITIAL EVIDENCE OF THE VALIDITY OF THE MOTIVATION SCALE FOR WORK CONTINUITY - EMCT, PRESENTING 44 ITEMS AND SEVEN DIMENSIONS WITH GOOD INDEXES OF ADJUSTMENTS. THE DIMENSION THAT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOR THE CONTINUITY OF THESE PROFESSIONALS IN THE JOB MARKET WAS FORMED BY THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ORGANIZATION, RELATIONSHIPS AT WORK AND INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT. THE RESEARCH ALSO TESTED EVIDENCE OF THE VALIDITY OF THE TEMPORARY PERSPECTIVE INVENTORY - ZTPI IN 511 OLDER EMPLOYEES OF THE COMPANY, RESULTING IN THE ZTPI WITH 37 ITEMS AND FIVE DIMENSIONS, PRESENTING ADEQUATE ADJUSTMENT INDEXES. THREE HYPOTHESIS WERE FORMULATED, EACH CONTAINING EIGHT SUB HYPOTHESIS, UTILIZING THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS, THE CORRELATIONS BETWEEN THE PREDICTOR VARIABLES AND CONFIRMED BY THE REGRESSIONS. THE STUDY MODEL WAS LATER TESTED BY THE MODELING OF STRUCTURAL EQUATIONS. ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS, PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE ORGANIZATION AND THE ECONOMIC SITUATION LED OLDER WORKERS TO POSTPONE RETIREMENT. IN THE CASE OF THE BRIDGE EMPLOYMENT OR BLENDED WORK OPTION, PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, ECONOMIC SITUATION AND THE IMPORTANCE OF WORK INFLUENCED THESE PROFESSIONALS TO CONTINUE WORKING. THE PHYSICAL CONDITION WAS THE ONLY VARIABLE THAT SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCED THE FINAL RETIREMENT DECISION. CONSIDERING THAT THE AREA SURVEYED IS RELATIVELY NEW IN THE COUNTRY, THE SAMPLE, ALTHOUGH ROBUST, WAS REGISTERED AS A LIMITATION, NOT BEING REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BRAZILIAN POPULATION. HOWEVER, WE CONSIDER THAT THE RESULTS PRESENTED CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE ORGANIZATIONAL PRACTICE IN STRUCTURING CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOR OLDER WORKERS, PROVIDING CONDITIONS TO REMAIN IN THE JOB MARKET, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO WISH TO REMAIN ACTIVE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. FOR THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO RETIRE, THE RESEARCH CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE REFLECTION OF PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE AND PROMOTING THE WELL-BEING OF RETIREES.

ABSTRACT
THIS RESEARCH WAS COMPOSED OF TWO STUDIES THAT AIMED TO PROMOTE SOCIAL SKILLS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS FOLLOWING A PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL MODEL. THE FIRST STUDY AIMED AT IDENTIFYING THE EFFECTS OF A SOCIAL SKILLS TRAINING (SST) ON SOCIAL SKILLS, BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS, AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF FIFTH GRADERS AGED 10-13 (M =10,3 AND SD = 0,8), 26 WERE WOMEN AND 25 WERE MEN WHO LIVE AND STUDY IN A SOCIAL VULNERABILITY AREA. FOR THAT, A SST WITH 51 STUDENTS FROM A PUBLIC SCHOOL IN RIO DE JANEIRO WAS CARRIED OUT INTO 10 SESSIONS TO TRAIN SKILLS OF: CIVILITY, SELF-CONTROL, ASSERTIVENESS AND ACADEMIC SKILLS. TWO GROUPS WERE COMPARED: INTERVENTION GROUP (IG) WITH 26 STUDENTS AND CONTROL GROUP (CG) WITH 25 STUDENTS FROM THE SAME SCHOOL. THE SSRS (SOCIAL SKILL RATING SYSTEM) AND THE TDE (SCHOOL PERFORMANCE TEST) WERE USED AS INSTRUMENTS. RESULTS DEMONSTRATED POSITIVE GAINS FOR MOST OF THE STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE INTERVENTION AND HIGHER IG SCORES IN RELATION TO THE CG. IN THE SECOND STUDY A FOLLOW-UP WAS CARRIED OUT AT THREE AND SIX MONTHS AFTER THE TRAINING AND IT WAS IDENTIFIED THAT IG GAINS WERE MAINTAINED AND ALSO THERE WAS ADDITION OF SIGNIFICANT NEW POSITIVE GAINS IN SOCIAL SKILLS, ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND IMPROVEMENT IN BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS. THUS, THIS RESEARCH REINFORCES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SST IN SCHOOLCHILDREN IN CONFLICT AREAS. THE RESEARCH REVEALS THAT SOCIAL LEARNING CAN REFLECT ON THE SOCIAL COMPETENCE AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS AND CAN OFFER BETTER MANAGEMENT OF LIVING CONDITIONS FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS AS WELL.

ABSTRACT
THE ABILITY AIMED AT THE SOCIAL RELATIONS OF ADOLESCENTS WITH THEIR PEERS IS CALLED HETEROSEXUAL ABILITIES. SOME STUDIES SHOW THAT THE UNDERDEVELOPED REPERTOIRE OF THESE SKILLS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO PROBLEMS SUCH AS ALIENATION, RAPE, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR AND OTHERS. THE AIM OF THIS STUDY WAS TO VERIFY THE VALIDITY OF A RANGE OF HETEROSSOCIAL COMPETENCE IN ADOLESCENTS. THE RESEARCH WAS ADMINISTERED IN 135 ADOLESCENTS OF BOTH SEXES BETWEEN THE AGES OF 14 AND 17 YEARS. ANALYZES TO DEFINE DIMENSIONALITY SUGGEST THAT THE PRESENT STUDY HAS ADVANCED THE EVIDENCE OF THE UNIDIMENSIONALITY OF THE MEASURE OF HETEROSSOCIAL COMPETENCE FOR ADOLESCENTS. IN ADDITION, TWO ITEMS PRESENTED INVERSION IN RESPONSE LEVELS AND OTHER ITEMS WERE PROBLEMATIC, WITH OVERESTIMATED PARAMETERS, SINCE THEY HAVE A LOW DISCRIMINATION VALUE. THE SCALE HAS A GOOD INTERNAL CONSISTENCY AND THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE ITEMS WAS DESIRABLE, WHICH SUGGESTS A GOOD TRANSLATION AND ADAPTATION TO THE NATIONAL CONTEXT. CORRELATIONS WERE ALSO MADE BETWEEN THE SCALE AND THE INVENTORY OF SOCIAL SKILLS FOR ADOLESCENTS, WHICH OFFERED EVIDENCE OF CONCURRENT VALIDITY. ANOTHER POINT PRESENTED DURING THE STUDY WAS ABOUT THE CONSENSUS OR DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN THE CONCEPTS OF SOCIAL SKILLS AND SOCIAL COMPETENCE, HOWEVER, THE WEAK AND SIGNIFICANT CORRELATIONS, EVIDENCED IN THE RESULT, CONFIRM THE NOTES OF SOME SCHOLARS WHO DEFEND THE DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN THE CONSTRUCTS. FINALLY, THE INSTRUMENT PRESENTED EVIDENCES THAT ATTEST TO THE ADEQUACY OF THE MEASURE IN THE OVERALL ADJUSTMENT LEVEL.

ABSTRACT
THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SUBJECT AREA IS ACQUIRING BROADER INTEREST WHILE, ALONG WITH THAT, NEWS PROFESSIONS AND WAYS TO DESIGN WORK ARE ARISING AND CHALLENGING PEOPLE. THE AIM OF THIS DISSERTATION WAS TO EVALUATE THE INFLUENCE OF CONTEXTUAL AND INDIVIDUAL VARIABLES ON PROFESSIONAL AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT. TWO INTEGRATED STUDIES HAVE ALLOWED TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL. THE FIRST, APPLYING A QUANTITATIVE METHOD, INVESTIGATED THE WORK DESIGN (TASK CHARACTERISTICS AND KNOWLEDGE CHARACTERISTICS) INFLUENCE OVER THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, HAVING THE SELF-EFFICACY A MEDIATOR ROLE IN THIS RELATIONSHIP. THE SAMPLE HAS BEEN COMPOSED BY 389 WORKERS (71% WOMEN) FROM A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT OCCUPATIONAL CATEGORIES. THE DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENTS HAD BEEN USED IN OTHER STUDIES WITH GOOD PSYCHOMETRIC QUALITIES. DATA ANALYSIS WAS PERFORMED THROUGH STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING. THE RESULTS CONFIRMED A POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TASK CHARACTERISTICS DIMENSION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, BECOMING MORE CONSISTENT WHEN THE SELF-EFFICACY HAS A MEDIATOR ROLE. IN THIS SENSE, THOSE WHO WORK WITH COMPLEX TASKS HAVE A GREATER PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND, TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY SUCCESSFULLY CARRY OUT SUCH TASKS, TEND TO INCREASE THEIR BELIEF IN THEIR OWN CAPACITY, WHICH INCREASES EVEN MORE THE PERCEPTION ABOUT THEIR OWN DEVELOPMENT. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE CHARACTERISTICS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PERCEPTION WAS ALSO CONFIRMED, SO THAT TASKS WITH HIGH KNOWLEDGE REQUIREMENTS DEMAND A LONGER MATURATION PROCESS FROM WORKERS, NEGATIVELY AFFECTING THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PERCEPTION. THE SECOND STUDY, APPLYING A QUALITATIVE APPROACH, AIMED TO IDENTIFY CONTEXTUAL AND INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTS THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, CONSIDERING WORKERS AT DIFFERENT CAREER STAGES AND WITH A HIGH PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE SAMPLE EMBRACED NINE WORKERS (FIVE WOMEN), BEING THREE OF THEM IN THEIR EARLY CAREER STAGE (UP TO FIVE YEARS), THREE IN THE MIDDLE STAGE (BETWEEN 10 AND 20 CAREER YEARS) AND THREE IN THE FINAL STAGE (MORE THAN 25 YEARS). THE INTERVIEWS WERE RECORDED AND TRANSCRIBED. THE DATA ANALYSIS FROM THIS QUALITATIVE RESEARCH WAS PERFORMED BASED ON SIMILARITY REPORT, WITH THE SUPPORT OF IRAMUTEQ SOFTWARE. THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE THREE TEXTUAL CORPUS POINTED OUT THAT IN ALL CAREER PHASES THE "PERSON" AND "COMPANY/ORGANIZATION" AXES REMAIN; HOWEVER, IN THE EARLY STAGE THEY ARE FURTHER APART AND THERE IS A WAY FORWARD TO INTERCONNECT THEM THROUGH INDIVIDUAL AND CONTEXTUAL ASPECTS. IN THE MIDDLE STAGE, THESE TWO AXES ARE VERY CLOSE AND DIRECTLY RELATED. FINALLY, IN THE FINAL CAREER STAGE, BOTH AXES ARE SPLIT BY THE WORD “STAY” ALONG WITH THE “SITUATION”, INDICATING THAT THE LINK BETWEEN “PERSON” AND “COMPANY/ORGANIZATION” AT THIS STAGE WOULD DEPEND ON THE WORKER’S DECISIONS ABOUT PERMANENCE. RESULTS OBTAINED IN BOTH STUDIES ARE DISCUSSED FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE REVISITED LITERATURE AND THE CONCLUSIONS, LIMITATIONS AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS ARE PRESENTED.

ABSTRACT
THE WOMEN INCLUSION INTO PROFESSIONS CONSIDERED MASCULINE OCCURS WITH A MOVEMENT OF FLEXIBILITY AND MALE RESISTANCE, WHICH REFLECTS IN THE GENDER RELATIONS IN THE WORKING GROUP, IN THE SPACES, IN THE RELATIONSHIPS AND IN THE PROFESSIONAL IDENTITIES. THE PURPOSE OF THIS DISSERTATION WAS TO ANALYZE THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS (SR) OF MEN AND WOMEN ROAD DRIVERS ON THEIR PROFESSIONAL CATEGORY AND ON THE WOMAN, WHO CHOOSES THIS PROFESSION, AS A FACTOR OF POSSIBLE CHANGES IN GENDER RELATIONS, POWER AND AUTHORITY. ROAD DRIVERS (N = 200) WERE INVESTIGATED IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, MEN (N = 100) AND WOMEN (N = 100), BY FREE EVOCATION QUESTIONNAIRE WITH 3 INDUCTOR TERMS (ROAD DRIVER, ROAD DRIVER AND WOMAN), WITH REQUEST OF 5 WORDS FOR EACH TERM. THE QUESTIONNAIRES WERE ANALYZED BY THE PROGRAM IRAMUTEQ¿ (GNU GPL, FRANCE) QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF TEXTUAL DATA IN THE FORM OF PROTOTYPAL ANALYSIS. THE SR OF THE TERM "WOMAN INDUCTOR" WERE EXPRESSED BY MEN AND WOMEN IN WORDS OF AFFABILITY, CARE AND BONDAGE (DEDICATION, RESPECT, ATTENTION, FRIENDSHIP, CARE, BEAUTY, SMELL, ATTENTION, ELEGANCE, FELLOWSHIP, VANITY AND PATIENCE), AESTHETIC AND BEHAVIORAL STEREOTYPES OF THE IDEALIZED SOCIAL VISION OF THE FEMININE. IN REINFORCEMENT, COURAGE, PATIENCE, DEDICATION, ATTENTION, ORGANIZATION AND HONESTY THEY WERE THE MOST FREQUENT WORDS IN THE CENTRAL CORE OF THE SR OF MEN AND WOMEN ON THE TERM "ROAD DRIVER" INDUCTOR. THE QUADRANTS OF THE GENRES REVEALED RESULTS SIMILAR ON THE COMMON DIFFICULTIES AND ATTRIBUTIONS OF THE PROFESSION (ILL-REMUNERATION, LIABILITY AND SERIOUSNESS), IN A COLLECTIVE STRUGGLE OF A DEMANDING AND LITTLE RECOGNIZED PROFESSION. ROAD DRIVERS REPORTED SEXIST, AESTHETIC AND SEXUAL WORDS ON THE WOMAN OF THE SAME PROFESSION IN HER REPRESENTATIONS. THE CONTRAST ZONE OF THE ROAD DRIVERS REPRESENTATIONS ON THEIR WORK REPORTED TWO SEXIST PHENOMENA, HARASSMENT AND DISCRIMINATION. THE SEXUAL DYSMORPHIC WAS ATTRIBUTED TO THE ROAD DRIVER WITH THE TERM TOMBOY IN THE CONTRAST ZONE OF THE REPRESENTATIONS OF FELLOW MEN. IT WAS CONCLUDED ON A UNIFORMITY AMONG THE GENRES CONCERNING THE PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE OF CATEGORY, WHICH IS MARKED BY THE DIALECTIC OF PLEASURE (SERIOUS PROFESSION, RESPONSIBLE) AND SUFFERING (POOR-REMUNERATION)-THAT MOVE BETWEEN THE QUESTION. THE FEMALE PRESENCE FROM DISQUALIFIED TERMS (DIFFERENT, HOMOSEXUAL, MOUTHY) AND OF THE EVIDENCE OF A CONSTANT STRUGGLE OF PROFESSIONAL ADEQUACY, PUNCTUATED BY THE MENTION OF TERMS SEEKING TO STRENGTHEN THE CAPACITY (MORE ATTENTIVE, MORE CAREFUL, COURAGEOUS).

ABSTRACT
THE JOB PERFORMANCE IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR THE WORK PSYCHOLOGY, AS IT RELATES TO THE FUNDAMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS NOT ONLY FOR THE INDIVIDUAL BUT ALSO FOR THE ORGANIZATION. THIS RESEARCH AIMS TO IMPROVE AN INSTRUMENT FOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATION, AS WELL AS TO TEST A NETWORK MODEL FOR THE JOB PERFORMANCE. THE DISSERTATION IS COMPOSED OF TWO STUDIES. THE FIRST PROPOSES TO REDUCE THE SELF-ASSESSMENT SCALE OF PERFORMANCE AT WORK, AS WELL AS TO CONTROL THE RESPONSE BIAS, BY USING VIGNETTES ANCHORS AND INVERTED ITEMS. TO REDUCE THE SCALE, IT WAS USED THE ORIGINAL SCALE VALIDATION DATABASE, COMPOSED OF 1,617 PARTICIPANTS. THE ORIGINAL SCALE CONSISTS OF 20 ITEMS DIVIDED INTO TWO FACTORS: TASK PERFORMANCE, FOCUSED ON THE TECHNICAL PART OF THE COMPANY ; AND CONTEXT PERFORMANCE, FOCUSED ON THE SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT, IN WHICH ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS ARE SOUGHT. FOR THE REDUCTION, 10 ITEMS WITH HIGHER FACTOR LOADINGS AND VARIED THRESHOLDS WERE CHOSEN. IN THE FINAL STRUCTURE, IT WAS ESTIMATED A GENERAL FACTOR AND TWO SPECIFIC DIMENSIONS RELATED TO CONTEXT AND TASK. THEREFORE, THE REDUCED SCALE VERSION WAS STRUCTURED BY A BIFACTOR MODEL, WHICH PRESENTED GOOD FIT INDICES (RMSEA = 0.05, TLI = 0.98). IN ORDER TO CONTROL RESPONSE BIAS, A NEW DATA COLLECT WAS CARRIED OUT, IN WHICH 303 WORKERS FROM DIFFERENT PROFESSIONS PARTICIPATED. THE RESPONSES WERE RE-CODED AND CONFIRMATORY FACTORIAL ANALYZES WERE PERFORMED TO COMPARE THE RESULTS WITH AND WITHOUT THE USE OF THE VIGNETTES AND THE INVERTED ITEMS. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE ANCHORS IMPROVED THE FACTOR LOADS OF ANALYZES, HOWEVER, THE INVERTED ITEMS DID NOT PERFORM BETTER THAN THE VIGNETTES. THE GOAL OF THE SECOND STUDY IS TO ANALYZE A THEORETICAL MODEL SETTING RELATIONS AMONG THE INTELLIGENCE, LEARNING SUPPORT AND JOB PERFORMANCE, AS WELL AS THE MEDIATION ROLE OF JOB CRAFTING AND THE MODERATION ROLE OF THE SUBJECTIVE COMPLEXITY OF THE TASK (I.E. A MODERATED MEDIATION MODEL). 250 EMPLOYEES OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COMPANIES PARTICIPATED IN THIS STUDY. PARTICIPANTS ANSWERED QUESTIONNAIRES FOR THE PURPOSE OF MEASURING INTELLIGENCE, JOB PERFORMANCE, JOB CRAFTING, LEARNING SUPPORT AND THE SUBJECTIVE COMPLEXITY OF THE TASK. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THERE WAS NO DIRECT RELATION BETWEEN INTELLIGENCE AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE ANALYZED DATABASE. HOWEVER, POSITIVE RELATIONS BETWEEN SUPPORT LEARNING AND PERFORMANCE WERE FOUND. THE JOB CRAFTING SHOWED A MEDIATION EFFECT ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LEARNING SUPPORT AND THE JOB PERFORMANCE. AND THE TASK COMPLEXITY SHOWED A MODERATION EFFECT ON THE RELATION BETWEEN THE LEARNING SUPPORT AND JOB CRAFTING.

ABSTRACT
EMPATHY IS AN AFFECTIVE ANSWER, WHICH HAS EVOLUTIONARY ORIGIN AND DIRECTED TO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ONE ANOTHER. STUDIES ABOUT EMPATHY POINT THAT PEOPLE MORE EMPATHIC HAVE BETTER ADJUSTMENT AT SOCIAL LIFE. THE PRESENT THESIS PRESENTED FIVE SUBDIVIDED CHAPTERS IN THREE THEORETICAL STUDIES AND TWO EMPIRICAL STUDIES, BEING: (1) THE FIRST CHAPTER PERFORMED A THEORETICAL STUDY WHICH HAD AS OBJECTIVE TO DO A LITERATURE REVIEW ABOUT THE CONSTRUCT EMPATHY ; (2) THE SECOND CHAPTER REALIZED A THEORETICAL STUDY, BASED ON AUTHORS WHO POINT OUT AN AFFECTIVE COMPONENT IN INTELLIGENCE, PERFORMED THEIR VALIDITY ON THE AFFECTIVE DIMENSION AND YOUR RELATION WITH INTELLIGENCE, ALSO MADE A THEORETICAL VALIDITY ABOUT HIGH ABILITIES/GIFTEDNESS. THE LITERATURE ON THE AREA POINTS TO CONTROVERSIES ABOUT THE HOW THE GIFTEDNESS PEOPLE DEAL WITH EMOTIONS AND HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMPATHIC ABILITIES AND GIFTEDNESS CAN HELP ON THE INTERVENTION PROCESS THAT SUPPORT THESE INDIVIDUALS. SO, THE (3) THIRD STUDY OF THIS THESIS REALIZED A EMPIRICAL STUDY WHICH OBJECTED INVESTIGATE THE EMPHATIC ABILITIES FROM HIGH ABILITIES/GIFTEDNESS PEOPLE. 91 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS OF BOTH SEXES PARTICIPATED OF THIS STUDY, WITH AGE BETWEEN 19 AND 40 YEARS, SUBDIVIDED IN THREE GROUPS: UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WITH HIGH ABILITIES/GIFTEDNESS PARTICIPANTS IN A SERVICE GROUP (GROUP 1); UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WITH MEDIUM INTELLIGENCE OR BELOW THE AVERAGE (GROUP 2); UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WITH SCORES OF INTELLIGENCE ABOVE AVERAGE, BUT NOT IDENTIFIED AS GIFTED (GROUP 3). THE STUDENTS ANSWERED THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL SCALE OF INTERPERSONAL REACTIVITY. THE ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE SHOW SIGNIFICANT STATISTIC EFFECTS FOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOTH GROUPS. THE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS OF GROUP 1 HAD HIGHER RESULTS THAN THOSE FROM GROUP 3, WITH ABOVE AVERAGE INTELLIGENCE, NOT IDENTIFIED WITH HIGH ABILITIES, AND LOWER THAN GROUP 2 (UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WITH AVERAGE INTELLIGENCE OR BELOW AVERAGE). THE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED OH THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE IMPACT FOR THE SUPPORT GROUP OF THE HIGH ABILITIES/GIFTEDNESS POPULATION. THE FOURTH (4) CHAPTER WAS REALIZED ON A QUALITATIVE RESEARCH, WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF ANALYZE THE PERCEPTION FROM UNIVERSITY STUDENTS HOW MUCH AFFECTIVE INFLUENCE OR NOT, BASED ON FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS, TEACHERS AND SCHOOL CLASSMATE. THE PROCESS OF DATA WAS REALIZED WITH IRAMUTEQ SOFTWARE AND WAS USED THE BARDIM CONTENT ANALYSES TOO. THE GROUP 1, WITH HIGH ABILITIES UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, PRESENTED A BIGGER QUANTITATIVE OF “YES” ANSWERS ABOUT THE INFLUENCE OF AFFECTIVE BOTH IN THE FAMILIAR RELATIONSHIP (80%), BOTH IN THE RELATIONSHIP WITH CLASSMATES (80%) AND TEACHERS (88,57%); ON GROUP 2, (75,76%) ANSWERED “YES” ABOUT THE FAMILIAR INFLUENCE, (66,67%) ABOUT CLASSMATE INFLUENCE AND (75,76%) ABOUT TEACHER INFLUENCE; ON GROUP 3, (65,22%) ANSWERED “YES” ABOUT FAMILIAR INFLUENCE, (73,91%) ABOUT CLASSMATE INFLUENCE AND (78,26%) ABOUT TEACHER INFLUENCE. IN FACTORIAL SPECIFICITY AND CORRESPONDENCE ANALYSIS, WHICH MADE IT POSSIBLE TO ASSOCIATE TEXTS WITH THE VARIABLE GROUP OF RESEARCH, OBSERVING THAT IN THE THREE GROUPS STUDIED, THE WORDS OBTAINED DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES. IN GROUP 1, THE WORDS WITH THE HIGHEST FREQUENCIES WERE IMPORTANT, BECOME, SUPPORT, LEARN, COLLEAGUE, LIFE, BE, FUNDAMENTAL, GIVE, TIME AND SITUATION. IN GROUP 2, THE WORDS WITH THE HIGHEST FREQUENCIES WERE FEELING, BE, BEING, FINDING, ACADEMIC, PERSON, SCHOOL, PERFORMANCE, STUDY AND GOOD. IN GROUP 3, THE WORDS WITH THE HIGHEST FREQUENCIES WERE AFFECTIVITY, TEACHER, FRIEND, PERFORMANCE, FAMILY, STUDY, BEST AND PERSON. OBSERVING THAT IN ANALYZING THE WORDS AND DISCOURSES COLLECTED IN THIS RESEARCH, COGNITIVE AND AFFECTIVE ASPECTS ARE INSEPARABLE IN THE DESCRIPTIONS OF INDIVIDUALS WHEN REPORTING THE INFLUENCE OF AFFECTIVE RELATIONS ON THEIR ACADEMIC TRAJECTORIES. SUCH ANALYZES CORROBORATE WITH THE ASSERTION OF AUTHORS WHO BASE THIS THESIS INDICATING THAT THE COGNITIVE AND AFFECTIVE ASPECTS ARE INSEPARABLE AND THAT THERE IS NO COGNITIVE MECHANISM WITHOUT AFFECTIVE ELEMENTS AND NO PURE AFFECTIVE STATE WITHOUT COGNITIVE ELEMENTS. IN THE FIFTH CHAPTER WE HAVE THE DISCUSSIONS AND FINAL CONSIDERATIONS OF THE THESIS.

ABSTRACT
IN RECENT YEARS THE NUMBER OF DIVORCES HAS INCREASED IN BRAZIL AND TO UNDERSTAND THE REASON FOR THIS REALITY IS PARAMOUNT FOR COUPLES TO UNDERSTAND WHAT CONTRIBUTES TO INCREASE MARITAL SATISFACTION. THIS PERCEPTION CAN HELP COUPLES COPE WITH CRISES AND EVEN DECREASE THE NUMBER OF DISSOLUTIONS IN RELATIONSHIPS. THIS STUDY AIMED TO VERIFY THE EXISTENCE OF PREDICTIVE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE EXPLANATORY VARIABLES OF SOCIAL SKILLS, MARITAL SOCIAL SKILLS, EMPATHY, BELIEFS ABOUT LOVE (LOVE PASSION SCALE - EAA, TRIANGULAR LOVE SCALE - ETA AND LOVE BELIEF SCALE - ECA) AND THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE MARITAL SATISFACTION CRITERION (RELATIONSHIP ASSESSMENT SCALE - EAR AND SCALE OF CONJUGAL SATISFACTION - ESC) IN MEN AND WOMEN IN DIFFERENT MARITAL LIFE CYCLES AND TO COMPARE MARITAL SATISFACTION IN MEN AND WOMEN IN THESE MARITAL LIFE CYCLES. PARTICIPATING IN THE STUDY WERE 223 COUPLES DIVIDED INTO FOUR DIFFERENT MARITAL LIFE CYCLES: 61 COUPLES WITHOUT CHILDREN (GROUP 1), 58 COUPLES WITH CHILDREN FROM 0 TO 11 YEARS (GROUP 2), 51 COUPLES WITH CHILDREN FROM 12 TO 17 YEARS 3) AND 53 COUPLES WITH CHILDREN OVER 18 (GROUP 4). THE INSTRUMENTS USED WERE: SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY, SOCIAL MARITAL SKILLS INVENTORY, EMPATHY INSTRUMENT, CONJUGAL SATISFACTION SCALE, RELATIONSHIP ASSESSMENT SCALE, PASSIONATE LOVE SCALE, TRIANGULAR LOVE SCALE AND LOVE BELIEF SCALE. THE RESULTS INDICATED FOR THE RAS THAT THE VARIABLE THAT CONTRIBUTES MOST TO THE MEN OF GROUP 1 WAS THE PASSION, OF GROUP 2 WAS THE PROACTIVE SELF-CONTROL AND THE CLASH, FOR GROUP 3 WAS THE COMMITMENT AND FOR GROUP 4 WAS THE PASSION AND THE INTIMACY. FOR GROUP 1 WOMEN WAS THE COMMITMENT AND AGAPE, FOR GROUP 2 WAS SENSITIVITY AND CONFRONTATION, FOR GROUP 3 WAS THE COMMITMENT AND FOR GROUP 4 THE PASSION AND LUDUS. FOR ESC, THE RESULTS INDICATED FOR GROUP 1 MEN THAT THE MOST CONTRIBUTORY VARIABLE WAS THE COMMITMENT, FOR GROUP 2, SELF-CONTROLLED REACTION, PASSIONATE LOVE SCALE AND INTERPERSONAL FLEXIBILITY, FOR GROUP 3 WAS REACTIVE SELF-CONTROL AND SELFCONTROL OF AGGRESSION, FOR GROUP 4 THE INTIMACY. FOR GROUP 1 WOMEN, THE MOST IMPORTANT VARIABLE WAS THE COMMITMENT AND THE PRAGMA, FOR GROUP 2, SELF-CONTROL AND ALTRUISM, FOR GROUP 3, PERSPECTIVE AND INTERPERSONAL FLEXIBILITY, AND FOR GROUP 4, THE COMMITMENT AND SELF-CONTROL OF ASSERTIVENESS. IT WAS IDENTIFIED FOR THE CSS THAT THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLES HAD STRONG BUT NEGATIVE AND SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE MARITAL SATISFACTION. WHEN COMPARING THE SCORES BETWEEN THE GROUPS OF CONJUGAL LIFE CYCLE, THERE WAS NOT BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN. IT IS CONCLUDED IN THIS STUDY THAT THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLES CONTRIBUTE TO EXPLAIN THE MARITAL SATISFACTION FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, REGARDLESS OF THE MARITAL LIFE CYCLE.

ABSTRACT
THIS ESSAY AIMED TO INVESTIGATE HOW THE YOUNG PEOPLE AND EMPLOYERS PERCEIVE THE CHALLENGE FOR EMPLOYMENT IN THE MICRO-REGION OF THE LAKES, RIO DE JANEIRO STATE. WE ADOPTED THE QUALITATIVE METHOD WITH SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS AND WE ANALYZE THEIR CONTENT. WE INTERVIEWED EIGHT YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WERE SEEKING THEIR FIRST PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE IN THE AGE GROUP FROM 16 TO 24 YEARS OLD AND EIGHT EMPLOYERS IN DIFFERENT SEGMENTS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT FAMILY PRESSURE IS THE MAIN REASON FOR A YOUNG PERSON TO LOOK FOR A JOB ; THIS PRESSURE IS USUALLY MOTIVATED BY LOW HOUSEHOLD INCOME. HOWEVER, THERE ARE FAMILIES THAT PRIORITIZE THEIR CHILDREN¿S EDUCATION AND POSTPONE THEIR ENTRANCE INTO THE LABOR MARKET, BEING SOMETIMES OVERPROTECTIVE PARENTS. ANOTHER ASPECT THAT SHOULD BE NOTICED IS THE DISBELIEF OF MANY YOUNG PEOPLE IN THEIR OWN ABILITIES, CONSEQUENTLY NOT SEEING EFFECTIVENESS OR REASON TO PARTICIPATE IN SELECTIVE PROCESSES. THERE ARE SOME GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAMS THAT AIM TO SUPPORT THE FIRST JOB, BUT THIS LACK OF POSITIVE ATTITUDE IN THE PURSUIT OF WORK IS REPEATED TOWARDS IT. THE REGION HAS A LOW SCORE IN THE GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAM THAT MEASURES THE BASIC LEVEL OF EDUCATION (KNOWN AS IDEB), LOW FAMILY INCOME AND FEW EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, WHICH FAVORS DISINFORMATION, DEMOTIVATION AND UNPREPAREDNESS TO THE REGIONAL MARKET DEMANDS. IN GENERAL, LOCAL ENTREPRENEURS WANT TO HIRE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE COMMITTED, MOTIVATED AND PREPARED FOR THE COMPANY'S CHALLENGES. THEY ALSO DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYABILITY PROGRAMS, BUT UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE TOOLS THAT AIM TO SUPPORT LOW-INCOME YOUTH. EMPLOYERS SAID THAT KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE ARE IMPORTANT, BUT THEY BELIEVE THAT RESPONSIBILITY, COMMITMENT AND POSITIVE ATTITUDES ARE SUBSTANTIALLY MORE RELEVANT.

ABSTRACT
THE PURPOSE OF THIS DISSERTATION WAS TO GATHER INITIAL VALIDITY EVIDENCE OF THE TRAIT FORGIVINGNESS SCALE IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT AND TO INVESTIGATE THE RELATIONSHIP OF A PERSONAL FACTOR (DISPOSITIONAL FORGIVENESS) AND A CONTEXTUAL FACTOR (SOCIAL SUPPORT) WITH FLOURISHING IN NURSES' WORK, AND ALSO ASSESS THE MEDIATING ROLE OF SOCIAL SUPPORT IN THESE RELATIONSHIPS. THEREFORE, TWO STUDIES WERE CARRIED OUT. THE FIRST INCLUDED A SAMPLE OF 476 WORKERS OF BOTH GENDERS, AND THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS SHOWED THAT THE BRAZILIAN VERSION OF THE TRAIT FORGIVINGNESS SCALE PRESENTED REASONABLE PSYCHOMETRIC QUALITIES, BEING COMPOSED BY ONE FACTOR, DISTRIBUTED IN SEVEN ITEMS. THE SCALE ALSO SHOWED POSITIVE CORRELATION WITH AGREEABLENESS, AND NEGATIVE CORRELATION WITH NEUROTICISM, ANGER AND RUMINATION. A TOTAL OF 515 WORKERS (NURSES, TECHNICIANS AND AUXILIARIES) OF BOTH GENDERS PARTICIPATED IN THE SECOND STUDY, AND THE RESULTS OF THE STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING INDICATED THAT THE DISPOSITIONAL FORGIVENESS, AND THE EMOTIONAL SOCIAL SUPPORT PREDICTED POSITIVE AND SIGNIFICATIVELY THE FLOURISHING IN NURSES' WORK. IN ADDITION, THE EMOTIONAL SOCIAL SUPPORT MEDIATED PARTIALLY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DISPOSITIONAL FORGIVENESS AND THE FLOURISHING IN NURSES' WORK. THESE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED FROM THE THEORETICAL MODELS THAT SUPPORTED THE RESEARCH. IN THE FINAL CONSIDERATIONS, SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE REGARDING INTERVENTION STRATEGIES WITH POSSIBILITIES TO INCREASE THE FLOURISHING OF THIS CLASS OF WORKERS.

ABSTRACT
THE PRESENT STUDY AMEID TO TEST A PREDICTIVE MODEL FOR ACADEMIC SELF-EFFICACY (ASE) OF STUDENTS IN THE LAST YEARS OF MIDDLE SCHOOL (MS), CONSIDERING AS PREDICTORS SOCIAL SKILLS (SS), SCHOOL CLIMATE (SC), DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES SEX AND TYPE OF SCHOOL. THE RESOURCES OF THE STUDENTS AND THE SCHOOL CONTEXT WERE ANALYZED IN THE LIGHT OF THE BIOECOLOGICAL THEORY OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT. PARTICIPATED IN THE STUDY 493 STUDENTS, AGED BETWEEN 11 AND 18 YEARS OLD, 51% OF MALES ATTENDING THE 7TH, 8TH AND 9TH GRADES OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN THE CITY OF JUIZ DE FORA (MG). PARTICIPANTS ANSWERED THE FOLLOWING INSTRUMENTS: SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY FOR ADOLESCENTS (SSIA), CHILDREN'S SELF-EFFICACY SCALE (CSES-BR), SCHOOL CLIMATE SURVEY- REVISED ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL VERSION (SCS-MS) AND QUESTIONNAIRE WITH DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND SOCIOECONOMIC LEVEL. COMPARATIVE ANALYZES INDICATED THAT GIRLS PRESENTED MORE ASE FOR EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND LEISURE AS WELL AS SOCIAL SELF-EFFICACY AND MORE EMPATHY AND ASSERTIVENESS. FURTHERMORE, BOYS PRESENTED MORE AFFECTIVE APPROACH AND PERCEIVED BETTER THE SC IN THE DIMENSION OF RELATIONSHIP AMONG STUDENTS. HIERARCHICAL REGRESSION ANALYSIS INDICATED THAT TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIP VARIABLES OF SC AND THE EMPATHY, SOCIAL APLOMB AND SELF-CONTROL VARIABLES OF SS PREDICTED 30% OF ASE. THIS RESULTS MAY BE USED TO CONTRIBUTE WITH PREVENTIVE INTERVENTION PROGRAMS THAT FOCUS ON PROMOTING MENTAL HEALTH OF STUDENTS, PARENTS AND TEACHERS.

ABSTRACT
THIS THESIS PRESENTS FOUR STUDIES. THE FIRST ONE SHOWED THAT AFTER CONTROLLING FOR NONVERBAL INTELLIGENCE AND PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS, THE MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS CONTRIBUTES TO THE READING OF WORDS. THE RESULTS OF THE SECOND SHOWED THAT AFTER CONTROLLING FOR NONVERBAL INTELLIGENCE AND PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS, THE MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS CONTRIBUTED TO READING ACCURACY, READING FLUENCY, AND READING COMPREHENSION. THE THIRD SHOWED AN INDEPENDENT CONTRIBUTION OF MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS TO VARIOUS ASPECTS OF WORD READING. AS WELL AS FOR READING COMPREHENSION IN PORTUGUESE SPEAKERS. IN ADDITION, IT SHOWED THAT MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS AND READING COMPREHENSION IS INDEPENDENT OF WORD READING. IN LAST STUDY SHOWED RESULTS THAT THE KNOWLEDGE OF MORPHEMES IN THE FOURTH GRADE CONTRIBUTES TO READING COMPREHENSION IN THE FIFTH GRADE. THE FIRST STUDY INVOLVED 52 STUDENTS WHO WERE IN THE 4TH AND 5TH GRADE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. OF THESE 26 WERE GIRLS AND 26 BOYS. IN THE SECOND AND THIRD PARTICIPATED 132 STUDENTS OF 4TH GRADE, 69 GIRLS AND 63 BOYS. IN THE FOURTH STUDY, A LONGITUDINAL STUDY, 96 STUDENTS OF THE 4TH GRADE PARTICIPATED WHEN WE STARTED THE STUDY. OF THESE 96 STUDENTS, 50 WERE FEMALE AND 46 WERE MALE. PARTICIPANTS WERE REGULARLY ENROLLED IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE MUNICIPALITIES OF SÃO GONÇALO AND ITABORAÍ IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT, AFTER CONTROLLING FOR NONVERBAL INTELLIGENCE AND PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS, THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS OF MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS TO READING WORDS, FLUENCY AND TEXT COMPREHENSION.

ABSTRACT
THE PRESENT DISSERTATION AIMS TO GATHER INITIAL EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT FOR THE VIRTUOUS LEADERSHIP SCALE AND TO IDENTIFY THE RELATIONSHIPS OF VIRTUOUS LEADERSHIP WITH WORK ENGAGEMENT IN A SAMPLE OF MILITARY POLICE OFFICERS FROM THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. TWO STUDIES WERE CARRIED OUT. THE FIRST INCLUDED A SAMPLE OF 417 WORKERS OF BOTH SEXES. THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS SHOWED THAT THE BRAZILIAN VERSION OF THE VIRTUOUS LEADERSHIP SCALE PRESENTED GOOD PSYCHOMETRIC QUALITIES, BEING COMPOSED OF FIVE FIRST ORDER FACTORS (COURAGE, PRUDENCE, TEMPERANCE, HUMANITY AND JUSTICE), WITH A GENERAL SECOND ORDER FACTOR, DISTRIBUTED BY 18 ITEMS, WHICH REPRODUCED IN FULL THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE OF THE INSTRUMENT. ALL DIMENSIONS PRESENTED POSITIVE CORRELATIONS WITH THE DIMENSIONS OF AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP, WITH SATISFACTION AT WORK AND WITH POSITIVE AFFECTS, AND NEGATIVE WITH NEGATIVE AFFECTS. THE SECOND STUDY HAD THE PARTICIPATION OF 548 POLICE OFFICERS FROM THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, OF BOTH SEXES. THE RESULTS OF THE MULTILEVEL REGRESSION ANALYZES SHOWED THAT THE AGGREGATE PRUDENCE FACTOR AT THE LEADER LEVEL CORRELATES POSITIVELY WITH MILITARY POLICE'S WORK ENGAGEMENT, JUST AS PRUDENCE AND HUMANITY ALSO CORRELATE WITH ENGAGEMENT AT THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL. ALREADY THE COURAGE AND HUMANITY AGGREGATED AT THE LEVEL OF THE LEADER HAD NEGATIVE CORRELATIONS WITH THE SUBORDINATE'S WORK ENGAGEMENT. THE TEMPERANCE AND JUSTICE DIMENSIONS DID NOT PRESENT SIGNIFICANT CORRELATIONS WITH ENGAGEMENT. THESE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED ON THE FRAME OF SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY AND THE WORK DEMANDS AND RESOURCES MODEL, WHICH THEORETICALLY GROUNDED THE STUDY. IN THE FINAL CONSIDERATIONS, SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE REGARDING INTERVENTION STRATEGIES WITH POSSIBILITIES TO INCREASE THE ENGAGEMENT OF THIS CLASS OF WORKERS.

ABSTRACT
READING AND WRITING, UNLIKE IN ORALITY, DO NOT CONSTITUTE A SPONTANEOUS PURCHASE, REQUIRE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS THAT ENABLE IT TO REFLECT ON THE USE AND FUNCTIONS OF WRITING. THROUGH ACTIVITIES WITH SPECIFIC METHODOLOGIES, MEDIATED BY PROFESSOR CAN DEVELOP NECESSARY SKILLS FOR READING AND WRITING. CONSIDERING THE IMPORTANCE OF LABOR AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN THE INITIAL SERIES, THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND CULTURE, LAUNCHED THE NATIONAL PACT FOR LITERACY AT THE RIGHT AGE (PNAIC) IN 2012. THE PNAIC, WITH REGARD TO THE LEARNING OF READING AND WRITING IS BASED ON 04 FUNDAMENTAL AXES: ORALITY, LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS, READING AND TEXTUAL PRODUCTION. THE PRESENT STUDY INVESTIGATED THE TEACHER'S KNOWLEDGE REGARDING AXIS 2. THIS AXIS DEALS WITH THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN METALINGUISTIC ABILITY AND THE LITERACY PROCESS, WHICH IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT LEARNING THE WRITTEN CODE IMPLIES IN EXPLICITLY MANIPULATING THE STRUCTURE OF THE SPOKEN LANGUAGE, ESTABLISHING CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN ORALITY AND WRITING, FUNDAMENTAL IN LITERACY. SO, THIS WORK HAD TWO OBJECTIVES: 1) TO INVESTIGATE THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OF EARLY GRADE TEACHERS IN RELATION TO PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO THE PRACTICE OF THE LITERACY TEACHER. 2) EVALUATE, FROM THE INITIAL REFLECTIONS, AN INTERVENTION PROGRAM ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS IN WRITING AND, BASED ON THE KNOWLEDGE RAISED, AIMS TO DISCUSS THE IMPLICATIONS OF THESE FOR TEACHER TRAINING AND PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES. THE THESIS IS DIVIDED INTO 04 (FOUR) CHAPTERS. CHAPTER I PRESENTS THE FIRST THEORETICAL STUDY, MAKES A REFLECTION AMONG PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS, EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE AND THE PACT FOR LITERACY AT THE RIGHT AGE (PNAIC), AND AIMED TO ANALYZE THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THIS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LITERACY, ESPECIALLY IN THE FIRST THREE YEARS OF SCHOOLING. CHAPTER II PRESENTS THE SECOND EMPIRICAL STUDY OF THIS THESIS AND OBJECTED RAISE DATA ABOUT TEACHER’S KNOWLEDGE AMONG THE THEME RELATED TO PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS AND THE PEDAGOGICAL APPLICABILITY OF THE ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THIS IN THE TEACHING PRACTICE IN THE PEDAGOGICAL DOING OF THESE PROFESSIONALS, USING A QUESTIONNAIRE ABOUT THIS THEME. THE CHAPTER III PRESENTS THE THIRD AND FOURTH STUDIES OF THIS THESIS. THE THIRD STUDY INTENDED TO VERIFY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS, PRECURSORS OF LITERACY AND WRITING AND FROM THESE RESULTS THE EFFECT OF INTERVENTION WORK CARRIED OUT BY THE PROFESSOR, FOCUSED ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS IN THE CLASSROOM, IN THE PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS FROM 1ST YEAR LITERACY CYCLE. ON THE FOURTH STUDY, WAS CONDUCTED A WORK OF PEDAGOGICAL INTERVENTION IN A CLASS LITERACY CYCLE WHERE THE DATA WERE COMPARED WITH DATA FROM ANOTHER CLASS OF SIMILAR PROFILE WHERE SUCH INTERVENTION NOT OCCURRED (THE CONTROL GROUP), AS DESCRIBED IN THE FIRST PART OF CHAPTER III. SUCH INTERVENTION CORROBORATED THE INITIAL HYPOTHESIS OF THIS WORK. THE CHAPTER IV RETAKES THE THEMES ADDRESSED IN THE THREE PREVIOUS STUDIES OF THIS THESIS, CORROBORATING THE RESEARCH ALREADY DONE AND POINTING OUT POSSIBLE PROPOSALS OF PEDAGOGICAL ACTION IN THE INITIAL LITERACY SERIES AIMED AT IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LITERACY OF THE STUDENTS THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF METALINGUISTIC ABILITIES RELATED TO PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS.

ABSTRACT
THE GOAL OF THIS DISSERTATION WAS TO EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF LIVING ON CAMPUS ON THE ACADEMIC LIFE OF COLLEGE STUDENTS, AS WELL AS TO ANALYZE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN QUALITY OF LIFE, ACADEMIC EXPERIENCES AND UNIVERSITY RESIDENCE. TWO STUDIES WERE CARRIED OUT, IN THE FIRST, A QUANTITATIVE STUDY, A SAMPLE OF 408 STUDENTS, AGED 16 TO 57 YEARS (M = 33.5 AND SD = 24.75), PARTICIPATED ; WHOM 262 WERE RESIDENTS ON CAMPUS (59.58%) AND 146 NON-RESIDENTS (59.54% WOMEN). THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT LIVING ON CAMPUS INCREASES THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND THIS EFFECT IS STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT (P = 0.001, R = 0.16). THE RESULTS OF THE PERMANENCE ANALYSIS INDICATED THAT RESIDENTS STUDENTS QUIT LESS DISCIPLINES AND THIS EFFECT IS SIGNIFICANT AS WELL (P <0.01, R = 0.22). THE SECOND STUDY WAS SPLIT IN TWO, BEING THE QUALITATIVE STUDY 2A WITH A SAMPLE OF 30 STUDENTS WHO RESIDING ON CAMPUS (AGED BETWEEN 20 AND 57 YEARS ; M = 25.53 AND SD = 6.66) ; AND THE QUANTITATIVE 2B STUDY WITH SAMPLE OF 57 STUDENTS, WHOM 31 RESIDENTS (33.3% WOMEN) AND 26 NON-RESIDENTS (57.69% WOMEN). THE RESULTS INDICATED, IN STUDY 2A, A POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LIVING ON CAMPUS AND AN INCREASE IN QUALITY OF LIFE AND ACADEMIC LIFE EXPERIENCES. BUT THEY ALSO INDICATED NEGATIVE ASPECTS REGARDING TO THE CAMPUS HOUSE STRUCTURE AND FACTORS THAT INTERFERE WITH STUDENTS' BEHAVIOR IN THE FACE OF NEW CHALLENGES. STUDY 2B INDICATED A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GROUP OF RESIDENTS REGARDING ACADEMIC EXPERIENCES, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE FACTOR (P ≤ 0.05, R = 0.46).

ABSTRACT
THIS THESIS WAS DEVELOPED IN FIVE STUDIES, WHICH INVESTIGATED THE INTERGENERATIONAL RELATIONSHIP, SOCIAL SUPPORT AND SOCIAL SKILLS, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE INFLUENCES ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF COLLEGE STUDENTS, YOUNG AND OLD, ENROLLED IN UNDERGRADUATE COURSES OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, OF THE METROPOLITAN REGION OF RIO DE JANEIRO. IN THE FIRST TWO STUDIES, THE QUALITATIVE APPROACH (CONTENT ANALYSIS), WITH A LONGITUDINAL CHARACTER, WAS USED THROUGH SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS, AIMING TO IDENTIFY THE IMPORTANCE AND TO CONFIRM THE INFLUENCE, THROUGH THE PERCEPTION OF THE PARTICIPANTS (OLDER AND YOUNGER), OF THE INTERGENERATIONALITY FOR THEIR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY WITH REGARD TO ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF 25 PARTICIPANTS, 10 ELDERLY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS (OVER 60 YEARS OF AGE) AND 10 YOUNG PEOPLE (BETWEEN 18 AND 25 YEARS OLD), BY THREE TEACHERS AND TWO EMPLOYEES (INDEPENDENT OF AGE). IN THE THREE SUBSEQUENT STUDIES, THE APPROACH WAS QUANTITATIVE, USING A SAMPLE THAT CONTAINED 326 PARTICIPANTS (126 ELDERLY AND 200 YOUNG PEOPLE). THE THIRD STUDY AIMED TO ANALYZE THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE AND APPLICATION OF THE SOCIAL OUTCOMES STUDY (1991), VALIDATED BY GRIEP ET AL. (2005), AS WELL AS TO IDENTIFY THE DIFFERENCES OF PERCEPTION OF THE TWO AGE GROUPS IN RELATION TO SOCIAL SUPPORT FACTORS. THE RESULTS POINTED TO A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE YOUNG AND THE ELDERLY [Χ2 (151) = 378.73; P = 0.00; CFI = 0.95; RMSEA = 0.07; NFI = 0.91]. THE FOURTH STUDY AIMED TO ANALYZE THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE AND APPLICATION OF THE DEL-PRETTE SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY, IN REDUCED FORM (LEME, VALENTINI, CAMPOS, DEL-PRETTE & DEL-PRETTE, IN PRESS), AS WELL AS TO IDENTIFY THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS AS FOR SOCIAL SKILLS, [KMO = .776; BARTLETT <.0001; FACTOR LOADINGS> .30; CRONBACH = .0804. IN THE LAST STUDY, WE INVESTIGATED WHICH OF THESE CONSTRUCTS (SOCIAL SUPPORT AND SOCIAL SKILLS) PREDICT THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF THE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. DATA WERE ALSO COLLECTED IN THE ACADEMIC SYSTEM OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND COMPARED THE RESULTS OBTAINED BY YOUNG AND OLD STUDENTS REGARDING THEIR COEFFICIENTS OF INCOME, IN THREE DIFFERENT MOMENTS. IT WAS DEMONSTRATED THAT THE INTERGENERATIONAL RELATIONSHIP AND SOCIAL SUPPORT INFLUENCE THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF YOUNG AND OLD UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.

ABSTRACT
THE AIM OF THIS RESEARCH WAS TO IDENTIFY AND RELATE SOCIAL SKILLS FOR TEENAGERS, EDUCATION SOCIAL SKILLS OF PARENTS AND TEACHERS, SOCIAL SUPPORT APPRAISALS, MOTIVATION FOR LEARNING AND SCHOOL PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS WITH AND WITHOUT AGE /YEAR. PARTICIPATED IN THE RESEARCH 500 STUDENTS FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS THE MUNICIPALITIES OF RIO DE JANEIRO, NOVA IGUAÇU, NITEROI AND SAO GONÇALO, AGED BETWEEN 15 AND 18 YEARS WITH THEIR PARENTS AND TEACHERS. STUDENTS WERE DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS OF 250 STUDENTS ACCORDING TO THEIR ACADEMIC STREAM, THEIR PARENTS TOTALING 250 (OR LEGAL GUARDIANS) AND TEACHERS WHO TEACH CLASSES FOR THESE STUDENTS INVESTIGATED. THE FIRST GROUP ENROLLED IN PRIMARY EDUCATION IN AGE / YEAR, INVESTIGATED IN ACCELERATED CLASSES. THE SECOND GROUP INVESTIGATED IN HIGH SCHOOL IN HIS REGULAR FLOW STUDIES. THE VARIABLES WERE MEASURED USING THE SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY FOR ADOLESCENTS (IHSA) - (Z. DEL PRETTE & DEL PRETTE, 2009), INVENTORY OF SOCIAL SKILLS EDUCATIONAL VERSIONS PARENTS TEACHERS (IHSE) - (Z. DEL PRETTE & DEL PRETTE) MOTIVATION SCALE FOR LEARNING IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION (EMA-EF) - (NEVES & BORUCHOVITCH, 2014), SCALE OF PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT (SSA - SOCIAL SUPPORT APPRAISALS) (ANTUNES & FONTAINE, 1995, ADAPTED TO BRAZIL BY SQUASSONI & MATSUKURA, 2014) AND SCHOOLS COUNCILS MAPS OF THE PARTICIPATING NSTITUTIONS. ALL PARTICIPANTS AUTHORIZED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STUDY. PARENTS AND TEACHERS SIGNED THE CONSENT AND INFORMED AND STUDENTS THE CONSENT TERM. THE COLLECTED DATA WERE ANALYZED USING THE SOFTWARE SPSS VERSION 22.0, PEARSON CORRELATION, T-TEST AND MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT SOCIAL SKILLS EDUCATIONAL TEACHERS HAVE ALSO POSITIVE WITH HSA STUDENTS WITH LAG. TEACHERS, WHO ORGANIZE INTERACTIVELY ACTIVITIES BY PROVIDING CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS ON THE TASK, CAN INITIATE OR DEVELOP THE FREQUENCY OF SKILLED BEHAVIORS IN STUDIES ACCELERATION STUDENTS. WITHOUT LAG STUDENTS HAVE HIGHER AVERAGES IN THE FREQUENCY EMPATHY, SELF, CIVILITY, ASSERTIVENESS, SOCIAL RESOURCEFULNESS AND OVERALL TOTAL OF THEIR SOCIAL SKILLS. BUT IN COMPARING THE REGRESSION COEFFICIENTS(BETAS) BETWEEN GROUPS WITH STUDENTS LAG ONLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN THE FREQUENCIES OF EMPATHY, CIVILITY, ASSERTIVENESS, EMOTIONAL APPROACH AND THE DIFFICULTIES OF CIVILITY, EMOTIONAL APPROACH AND SOCIAL RESOURCEFULNESS. WITHIN THE GROUP IN AGE / YEAR, STUDENTS WHO PRESENTED A MORE ELABORATE REPERTOIRE HSA, SOCIAL SUPPORT APPRAISALS AND MOTIVATION TO LEARN HAD BETTER EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT. THE SURVEY DATA SHOWED THAT THE RESOURCES OF THE STUDENTS AND THE VARIABLES INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH SCHOOL PERFORMANCE IN DISTORTION. AT THIS TIME REQUIRE ATTENTION ON YOUR NEEDS TO FIT YOUR SCHOOL FLOW. WITH THE INFORMATION GATHERED IN THE PRESENT RESEARCH IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO PROPOSE INTERVENTION PROGRAMS WITH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TO PROMOTE ACADEMIC SKILLS AND SOCIAL SKILLS BEFORE THEY REACH STUDENTS ENTER INTO AGE GAP.

ABSTRACT
THERE IS A RECENT AND GROWING INTEREST IN BRAZIL OVER EVALUATION OF SOCIAL PROGRAMS IN DIFFERENT INSTANCES WITH MAIN FOCUS TOWARDS THE RESULTANT IMPACTS OF SUCH PROGRAMS. THIS THESIS IS STRUCTURED IN FOUR SEPARATE STUDIES IN AN ATTEMPT TO MEASURE THE QUALITY OF LIFE (QOL) AS A WAY TO EVALUATE THE IMPACT CAUSED BY SOCIAL PROGRAMS IN BRAZIL. THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH WAS TO DEVELOP AND LOOK FOR EVIDENCES TO VALIDATE AN ASSESSMENT TOOL OF QOL. CUSTOMIZED FOR NATIONAL CONTEXT, IT ALLOWS FOCUSING THE RESULTS OF THE PARTICIPANTS WHEN RATING SEVERAL DISTINCT SOCIAL PROGRAMS. THE PRESENT STUDY BEGINS WITH A BIBLIOMETRIC STUDY SHOWING HOW PUBLICATIONS, AUTHORS, JOURNALS, THEMATIC AREA, AUTHOR¿S AFFILIATION AND GEOGRAPHIC REGION ARE DISTRIBUTED WITHIN THE LITERATURE OF EVALUATION OF SOCIAL PROGRAMS. AMONGST OTHER RESULTS, WE EMPHASIZE THE FACT THAT THERE HAS BEEN A GROWING TENDENCY OF PUBLICATIONS ON THAT MATTER THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. BESIDES THAT, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE STUDIES DISCUSSES THE METHODOLOGY OF EVALUATION, OR COVERS DIFFERENT THEMES, CONFIRMING THE EARLY STAGE OF THE ASSESSMENT OF SOCIAL PROGRAMS IN BRAZIL. THE SECOND STUDY PRESENTS THE DEVELOPMENTAL PROCESS AND SEARCH OR INITIAL EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY FOR A BRAZILIAN QUALITY OF LIFE SCALE (BQOLS). FOR THAT, THE STUDY SURVEYED, IN ALL ITS STAGES, A SAMPLE OF 1,096 PARTICIPANTS. THE RESULTS SHOWED AN INSTRUMENT OF 37 ITEMS (WITH 30 ITEMS ON THE SHORT VERSION) AND EIGHT DIMENSIONS, AS FOLLOW: HEDONISM (Α = 0,81), PHYSICAL AND CURRENT HEALTH CONDITION (Α = 0,82), FINANCIAL CONDITION (Α = 0,89), SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE (Α = 0,81), WORK AND EMPLOYMENT (Α = 0,84), HOPE IN THE FUTURE (Α = 0,87) AND FAMILY RELATIONSHIP (Α = 0,91). STUDY NUMBER THREE TESTED THE BQOLS DEVELOPED ON THE PREVIOUS STUDY, WITH PARTICIPANTS OF THE BOLSA FAMÍLIA (FAMILY ALLOWANCE) PROGRAM. 313 PARTICIPANTS OF THE PROGRAM IN RIO DE JANEIRO STATE WERE SURVEYED AND THE RESULTS SHOW FAVORABLE INDICATIVES OF QUALITY OF LIFE WITHIN THE GROUP OF STUDY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO: SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE, PHYSICAL AND CURRENT HEALTH CONDITION, HOPE IN THE FUTURE, AND FAMILY RELATIONSHIP. AS FOR THE DIMENSIONS: ACCESS TO QUALITY RESOURCES, FINANCIAL CONDITION, HEDONISM, AND WORK AND EMPLOYMENT; A LESS POSITIVE EVALUATION WAS PERFORMED BY THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE BOLSA FAMÍLIA. LASTLY, THE FOURTH STUDY TESTS THE TOOL WITH PARTICIPANTS OF THE MINHA CASA MINHA VIDA PROGRAM, WHICH AIMS TO REDUCE THE HOUSING DEFICIT. TWO GROUPS TOOK PART ON THE POLL: ONE WITH 126 INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ALREADY PART OF THE PROGRAM, AND 123 SUBJECTS WITHIN THE SAME INCOME RANGE, BUT NON-PARTICIPANTS. THE RESULTS INDICATED A PERCEPTION OF AN IMPROVED QOL AMONGST THE BENEFICIARIES OF THE PROGRAM, MORE SPECIFICALLY REGARDING THE DIMENSIONS: FINANCIAL CONDITION, FAMILY RELATIONSHIP, WORK AND EMPLOYMENT, ACCESS TO QUALITY RESOURCES, AND HEDONISM. HOWEVER, REGARDING THE REMAINING DIMENSIONS: SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE, HOPE IN THE FUTURE, AND PHYSICAL AND HEALTH CONDITION, THE AUTHOR DID NOT OBSERVE A CORRELATION BETWEEN THEM AND THE PERCEPTION OF A QOL IMPROVEMENT.

ABSTRACT
THERE IS A WIDE NUMBER OF STUDIES TARGETED AT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTELLIGENCE AND CREATIVITY. ALTHOUGH, A LACK OF RESEARCHES AIMED AT THE DIFFERENCES OR SIMILARITIES OF THESES CONSTRUCTS BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS MIGHT BE NOTICED. THE INCREASE OF THE ELDERLY POPULATION GENERATED THE NEED TO DEVELOP INTERGENERATIONAL STUDIES IN SEVERAL AREAS, INCLUSIVE ABOUT INTELLIGENCE AND CREATIVITY. WOULD INTELLIGENCE INFLUENCE CREATIVITY DIFFERENTLY IN YOUTH AND OLD AGE? HOW CAN SUCH CAPACITIES INFLUENCE THE PERCEPTION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING? TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS, THE PRESENT STUDY LOOKS TOWARDS TO VERIFY THE INFLUENCE OF INTELLIGENCE ON CREATIVITY AND VICE VERSA, AS WELL AS TO INVESTIGATE THE INFLUENCE OF THESE TWO CONSTRUCTS AT THE PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING OF YOUNG AND OLD PEOPLE IN THE CITY OF SÃO GONÇALO - RJ. FOR THIS, A QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH MODEL WAS DEVELOPED, IN WHICH THREE INSTRUMENTS WERE APPLIED: AN ABSTRACT SPATIAL REASONING TEST TO MEASURE INTELLIGENCE, A CREATIVE THINKING TEST TO MEASURE CREATIVITY AND A SCALE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT CREATIVITY IS POSITIVELY RELATED TO INTELLIGENCE SUCH AS INTELLIGENCE AND CREATIVITY. THERE ARE NO VARIATIONS IN THE LEVEL OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING BETWEEN THE AGE GROUPS. CREATIVITY RELATES POSITIVELY TO INTELLIGENCE AS DOES INTELLIGENCE WITH CREATIVITY, REGARDLESS OF AGE. ONLY CREATIVITY WAS POSITIVELY RELATED TO SOME DIMENSIONS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING, SUCH AS PERSONAL GROWTH AND SELF-ACCEPTANCE.

ABSTRACT
THE CONTEMPORARY COMPETITIVE MARKET HAS REQUIRED FURTHER QUALIFICATION OF THE WORKERS, WHICH INCREASES THE RELEVANCE OF THE CONSTRUCT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE AIM OF THIS THESIS WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE CONCEPT OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TO EXPAND THE KNOWLEDGE OF ITS NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK. FOUR INTEGRATED STUDIES PERMITTED THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THIS OBJECTIVE. IN THE FIRST, A CONCEPT ANALYSIS WAS PERFORMED TO EVALUATE THE CONSISTENCY OF THE THEORETICAL BASES, SUPPORTING THE CREATION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MODELS. THE RESULT OF THIS STUDY IDENTIFIED THAT THERE IS GREAT CONVERGENCE BETWEEN WHAT IS CALLED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN COMMON SENSE AND THE WAY THE TERM IS UNDERSTOOD IN THE SCIENTIFIC CONTEXT. THE CONCEPT IS WIDELY USED IN THE AREAS OF EDUCATION, ADMINISTRATION AND PSYCHOLOGY AND IS ASSOCIATED WITH GROWTH, PROGRESSION, CAPACITY BUILDING AND SKILLS. THE SECOND STUDY WAS INTENDED TO REVIEW THE BRAZILIAN AND INTERNATIONAL LITERATURE ABOUT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT STUDIES. THUS, BASED ON A REVIEW SUPPORTED BY A BIBLIOMETRIC STUDY, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS STILL INCIPIENT, WITH PREDOMINANCE OF STUDIES INVOLVING THE PREDICTORS OF THE PHENOMENON. THIS RESULT GAVE RISE TO THE THIRD AND FOURTH STUDIES, RESPECTIVELY, FOR PERSONAL AND CONTEXTUAL PREDICTORS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE THIRD STUDY AIMED TO TEST A MODEL FOR THE PREDICTION AND MEDIATION OF INDIVIDUAL VARIABLES INPERCEIVED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, USING RESILIENCE AND FLOURISHING AT WORK AS PREDICTORS AND SELF-EFFICACY AS A MEDIATOR. THE RESULTS OF THE STRUCTURAL EQUATIONS ANALYSIS POINTED TO A MODEL WITH GOOD FIT, CONFIRMING THAT RESILIENCE AND FLOURISHING AT WORK POSITIVELY PREDICT THE PERCEIVED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND THAT SELF - EFFICACY WAS A MEDIATING VARIABLE. FINALLY, THE FOURTH STUDY WAS AIMED AT INVESTIGATING A MODEL TO PREDICT THE PERCEPTION OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE MANAGEMENT POLICIES (INVOLVEMENT, TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT, WORKING CONDITIONS, PERFORMANCE AND COMPETENCY EVALUATION, AND REWARDS) ON THE PERCEIVED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THESE STUDY RESULTS SHOWED THAT POLICIES THAT INVOLVE WORK ENGAGEMENT, AS WELL AS TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT POLICIES AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION INFLUENCE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. IMPLICATIONS OF THESE RESULTS FOR ORGANIZATIONS AND WORKERS ARE DISCUSSED AND SUGGESTIONS ARE PRESENTED FOR A FUTURE RESEARCH AGENDA ON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

ABSTRACT
THE PROCESS OF TRANSITION FROM ADOLESCENCE TO ADULTHOOD HAS GONE FROM A PREDICTABLE COURSE TO ANOTHER WITH POSSIBILITIES OF DIVERSIFIED TRAJECTORIES. THUS, THE PRESENT STUDY HAD AS GENERAL AIMED TO TEST A PREDICTION MODEL FOR PROFESSIONAL CHOICE SELF-EFFICACY, CONSIDERING AS PREDICTORS GENDER, SOCIAL SKILLS AND FUTURE EXPECTATIONS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. A TOTAL OF 436 STUDENTS OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS OF THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO PARTICIPATED IN THE STUDY, AGED BETWEEN 14 AND 20 YEARS (M = 16.23 YEARS, SD = 1.09), 56.9% WERE WOMEN. STUDENTS ANSWERED TO THE SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY FOR ADOLESCENTS, THE PROFESSIONAL CHOICE SELF-EFFICACY SCALE, THE FUTURE EXPECTATIONS SCALE, AND THE DEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONNAIRE. THE COMPARATIVE ANALYZES SHOWED THAT THE GIRLS STUDENTS HAD MORE SELF-EFFICACY FOR COLLECTING OCCUPATIONAL INFORMATION, SEEKING PRACTICAL PROFESSIONAL INFORMATION, PLANNING THEIR FUTURE, SOCIAL SKILLS OF EMPATHY, CIVILITY AND ASSERTIVENESS, AND FUTURE EXPECTATIONS REGARDING WORK AND EDUCATION, MARRIAGE AND THE CHURCH THAN BOYS. POSITIVE CORRELATIONS WERE FOUND BETWEEN PROFESSIONAL CHOICE SELF-EFFICACY, SOCIAL SKILLS AND FUTURE EXPECTATIONS. THE PREDICTIVE MODEL TESTED INDICATED THAT THE VARIABLES SOCIAL SKILLS OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT, FUTURE EXPECTATIONS IN RELATION TO WORK AND EDUCATION, GENDER (FEMININE) AND SOCIAL SKILLS OF AFFECTIVE APPROACH PREDICTED PROFESSIONAL CHOICE SELF-EFFICACY, CONTRIBUTING TO EXPLAIN 26% OF THEIR VARIABILITY. THE INFORMATION OBTAINED WITH THE STUDY MAY BE USED IN INTERVENTION PROGRAMS WITH STUDENTS, FAMILY AND THEATER.

ABSTRACT
THE PRESENT STUDY AIM TO INVESTIGATE THE ROLE OF HOME LITERACY AND EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF COGNITIVE PRECURSORS OF LITERACY: PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE NAME OF THE LETTERS. A TOTAL OF 53 STUDENTS, FROM A LOW SOCIOECONOMIC LEVEL, ATTENDING THE 1ST YEAR OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL OF LOCAL SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, ANSWERED THE TESTS OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE NAME OF THE LETTERS AND PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS ¿ CONFIAS, AS WELL AS THEIR CAREGIVERS WHO RESPONDED TO A HOME LITERACY QUESTIONNAIRE. ALL TESTS WERE APPLIED INDIVIDUALLY AND IN A SINGLE SESSION. THUS, THE RELATIONS BETWEEN DOMESTIC LITERACY PRACTICES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS AND KNOWLEDGE OF LETTERS WERE ANALYSED THROUGH CORRELATIONS, WHILE AN ANALYSIS OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION (VARIABLE CONTROL) THROUGH T TESTS, AIMING TO VERIFY WHETHER THE VARIABLES PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE NAME OF LETTERS DIFFER IN RELATION TO TWO GROUPS FORMED: GROUP 1 WITH LITTLE OR NO EXPERIENCE WITH EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND GROUP 2 WITH EXPERIENCE WITH EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION. THE RESULTS EVIDENCED THAT PEARSON'S CORRELATIONS, BETWEEN THE SCORES OF THE HOME LITERACY QUESTIONNAIRE AND THE COGNITIVE PRECURSORS OF LITERACY WERE NOT SIGNIFICANT. HOWEVER, SIGNIFICANT MODERATE AND STRONG POSITIVE CORRELATIONS WERE FOUND BETWEEN LETTER NAME KNOWLEDGE AND PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS TASKS. CONCERNING THE T TEST, AFTER COMPARING THE PERFORMANCES OF THE CHILDREN OF THE TWO GROUPS, FOR EACH OF THE FOLLOWING VARIABLES: CONFIAS_SYLLABLES, CONFIAS_PHONEMES, CONFIAS_TOTAL, KNOWLEDGE OF THE NAMES OF THE LETTERS AND HOME LITERACY. THE AVERAGES OF GROUP 2 WERE HIGHER THAN THOSE OF GROUP 1 IN ALL VARIABLES ANALYZED. THE RESULTS OF T TEST SHOWED THAT ATTENDING EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION GENERATED SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER AVERAGES FOR THE VARIABLES: T(51)= -2,98; P= 0,004; CONFIAS TOTAL T(51)= -2,34 P= 0,02 AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE NAMES OF THE LETTERS T(51)= -2,27 P= 0,02. ONLY THE VARIABLES CONFIAS SYLLABES T(51)= -1,96 P= 0,055 E HOME LITERACY T(51)= -1,29 P= 0,20 DID NOT OBTAIN SIGNIFICANT RESULTS. THE DATA FROM THIS STUDY SUGGEST THAT HOME LITERACY PRACTICES GIVEN TO LOW-INCOME CHILDREN, WITH CAREGIVERS WITH LOW EDUCATION, MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PREDICTORS OF LITERACY AND THAT, IN THIS CASE, ATTENDING EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN ACADEMIC SUCCESS OF THESE CHILDREN.

ABSTRACT
URBAN ART HAS HELPED TO RENEW CULTURE AND TO TRANSFORM THE SOCIAL THINKING IN GENERAL. THE FREE INTERVENTIONS OF STREET PERFORMERS HELP TO DISRUPT AN UTILITARIAN AND FUNCTIONAL CONFIGURATION OF THE CITIES, PROLIFERATING EVEN WITHOUT OFFICIAL AUTHORIZATION TO APPEAR IN THE PUBLIC SCENERY. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE BIG CITIES HAVE BECOME A PLACE OF STRUGGLE FOR MORE VISIBILITY, COMMUNICATION AND CONTRAST BETWEEN THE DOMINANT VOICES AND COUNTLESS OTHER VOICES FOUND IN THE MARGINS OF THE POWER. THIS QUALITATIVE STUDY IS ALSO BASED ON THE CONCEPT OF HISTORICAL MATERIALISM, AND IS FOCUSED ON STREET ARTISTS AND THEIR ARTISTIC PERFORMANCE IN THE CITIES OF RIO DE JANEIRO, NITERÓI AND SÃO GONÇALO. THE THESIS AIMS TO INVESTIGATE HOW THE STREET ARTISTS AS WELL AS SOCIETY ARE CONSTITUTED BY URBAN ART, WHICH PROMOTES INDIVIDUATION PROCESSES. FOR THIS PURPOSE, WE INVESTIGATE INTERSUBJECTIVITY AND SOME SUBJECTIVITY PROCESSES THAT ARE ESTABLISHED IN SOCIETY THROUGH A SET OF SOCIALLY LEGITIMIZED RULES THAT INFLUENCE THE EXPERIENCES OF STREET ARTISTS. IT WAS ALSO STUDIED HOW THE ENCOUNTER WITH OTHERNESS, AND THE CONSTITUTION OF FRIENDSHIP BONDS AND THE ACTIVITY OF CREATING ART IN PUBLIC CAN EXPAND THE SOCIAL AND PERSONAL CONSCIOUSNESS OF THESE SOCIAL ACTORS. THE DATA WERE COLLECTED IN INTERVIEWS MADE WITH 24 STREET ARTISTS, THE SELECTION OF 18 NEWS REPORTS ON THIS THEME FOUND IN NEWSPAPERS OF WIDE NATIONAL CIRCULATION IN THE YEAR 2013, AND APPROXIMATELY 100 PHOTOS AND FIELD NOTES. THE IRAMUTEQ SOFTWARE WAS USED TO MAKE LEXICAL CONTENT ANALYSIS AND ANALYSIS OF MEANING FOR THE DATA ANALYSIS. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THERE IS A DOMINANT SUBJECTIVE PRODUCTION THAT PRODUCES A STEREOTYPED VIEWPOINT ON THESE ARTISTS, THAT CAN BE TRACED IN THE MEDIA AND PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS. NEVERTHELESS, THE EXPERIENCES OF STREET ARTISTS HAVE HAD A STRONG INFLUENCE ON SOCIETY DUE TO THE INVENTION OF NEW LANGUAGES, THE ABILITY OF PROMOTING EVENTS AND THEIR OWN INFORMATION ON THE WEB. THESE CAN CONQUER INTERNATIONAL FOLLOWING, DUE TO THE COMMON LIFE THEY ESTABLISH AND THE OPENING OF OCCUPATION SITES WITH POLYPHONIC AND DIALOGICAL FEATURES. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THESE SOCIAL ACTORS HAVE BEEN PARTICIPATING IN THE CREATION OF CULTURE AND NEW SOCIAL, AESTHETIC AND POLITICAL MEANINGS THAT TRANSFORM SOCIETY WHILE CONSTITUTING THEMSELVES IN THIS SAME PROCESS, CREATING NEW SUBJECT-POSITIONS BY MEANS OF CREATIVE ACTIVITY.

ABSTRACT
DURING THE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS, THE CLASSROOM IS AFFECTED BY MULTIPLE CHALLENGES AND INTERPERSONAL CONFLICTS ON A DAILY BASIS. THIS REQUIRES THE TEACHER TO DEAL WITH DIFFICULT INTERPERSONAL SITUATIONS FOR MUCH OF THE CLASS TIME. IF AT LEAST THE MOST CRITICAL INTERPERSONAL CLASSROOM SITUATIONS ARE UNDER EFFECTIVE TEACHER MANAGEMENT, THE MORE NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM MAY THEREFORE BE AT MINIMAL OR EVEN ZERO LEVELS. BASED ON THIS CONTEXT, THIS STUDY AIMED TO CONSTRUCT, IN STUDY 1, AN INVENTORY WITH INDICATORS OF CRITICALITY TO EVALUATE THE FREQUENCY, THE DEGREE OF EMOTIONAL DISCOMFORT AND THE PROBABILITY OF OCCURRENCE OF EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS IN THE FACE OF INTERPERSONAL SITUATIONS CONSIDERED DIFFICULT TO CLASS ; AND, IN STUDY 2, CARRIED OUT AND EVALUATED AN EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS TRAINING FOR THE MOST CRITICAL CLASSROOM SITUATIONS, AS IDENTIFIED IN STUDY 1, WHICH ARE: STUDENT'S REFUSAL TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TASK, STUDENT'S DISOBEDIENCE OF COMBINED RULES, STUDENT DISTRACTION THE TASK ESTABLISHED BY THE TEACHER AND THE STUDENT'S ANXIETY WHEN PRESENTING IN PUBLIC. THE RESEARCH POINTED TO THE POSSIBILITY OF MEASURING THE LEVEL OF CRITICALITY OF INTERPERSONAL CLASS SITUATIONS. REGARDING TRAINING, THE CRITICALITY INDICATORS SHOWED THAT HRT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE REDUCTION OF THE PERCEPTION OF EMOTIONAL DISCOMFORT AND INCREASE THE PROBABILITY OF THE TEACHER TO ACT SKILLFULLY IN THESE SITUATIONS.

ABSTRACT
THE AGING OF THE BRAZILIAN POPULATION IS A FACT REAFFIRMED BY STATISTICS AND HAS RECENTLY BEEN USED IN STUDIES. RELATED TO THIS FACT THERE IS THE INCREASING NUMBER OF RETIRED PEOPLE MIGRATING TO CITIES KNOWN AS MORE ATTRACTIVE TO ENJOY THIS PERIOD OF LIFE. THEREFORE, THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE INTRINSIC REASONS OF THESES MIGRATIONS IN RELATION TO LIFE SATISFACTION, PSYCHOLOGICAL WELFARE AND COLLECTIVE QUALITY OF LIFE. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED BY 284 RETIRED WHO MIGRATED FROM OTHER STATES AND CITIES TO ESTABLISH RESIDENCE IN THE LAKES REGION//RJ, BY BOTH GENDERS (51, 3% WOMEN) WITH AGES BETWEEN 60 AND 89 (M = 68, 53 ; SD = 5,37) WHERE A LITTLE MORE THAN A HALF WERE MARRIED OR AT LEAST IN A SUSTAINABLE RELATIONSHIP (57,7%). THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT A VARIABLE FAMILY INCOME, RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CHILDREN AND AFFECTIVE/MARITAL RELATIONSHIP OBTAINED POSITIVE RESULTS WITH LIFE SATISFACTION AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELFARE. CONSISTENT WITH WHAT HAS BEEN HYPOTHESIZED, THE LESS SATISFACTION THE PARTICIPANT WAS WITH THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE CITY IN WHICH HE RESIDED BEFORE MIGRATE, THE MORE SATISFIED HE WAS WITH THE INDICATORS OF QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE CITY TO WHICH HE MIGRATED TO. MOREOVER, THE MORE SATISFIED THE RETIRED WAS WITH LEVELS OF QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE CITY TO WHICH HE MIGRATED, THE HIGHER WERE THE LEVELS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WELFARE, BUT NO SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIPS WERE FOUND ABOUT LIFE SATISFACTION. ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE TARGET CITY OF MIGRATION, THIS STUDY SHOWED THAT THE HIGHER NUMBER OF VISITS THE PARTICIPANT MADE TO THE CITY BEFORE MIGRATE, THE HIGHER WERE THE LEVELS OF SATISFACTION WITH THE CHOICE. ANOTHER IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION OF THIS STUDY WAS THE SEARCH FOR INITIAL EVIDENCES OF VALIDITY AND INTERN CONSISTENCY IN THE INVENTORY OF REASONS FOR MIGRATION, COMPOSED OF TWELVE ITEMS DIVIDED IN THREE DIMENSIONS. THE THESIS WAS JUSTIFIED BY THE ABSENCE OF RESEARCH ABOUT THE MIGRATION OF RETIRED PEOPLE IN BRAZIL AND THIS REASON ALSO PREVENTED THE RESULTS TO BE COMPARED TO PREVIOUS BRAZILIAN STUDIES. HOWEVER, INTERNATIONAL STUDIES AFFIRM THAT THE MIGRATION OCCURS MAINLY BECAUSE OF FAMILY, RECREATION, SAFETY, AND QUALITY OF ENVIRONMENT. THEREFORE, AMONG THE RECOMMENDATIONS RELATED TO FUTURE STUDIES IS THE REPLICATION OF THIS RESEARCH IN SAMPLES OF THE RETIRED POPULATION FROM OTHER LOCATIONS OF THE COUNTRY, HIGHLIGHTING TO LONGITUDINAL STUDIES WHICH CHECK THE CAUSES AND EFFECTS AMONG THE VARIABLES HERE STUDIED. THIS STUDY PRESENTS ITSELF AS A TOOL TO PUBLIC POLICY MAKING WITH THE PURPOSE TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE ELDERLY.

ABSTRACT
THE UNIONS ARE ACTIVE IN THE SEARCH FOR BALANCE IN THE WORK RELATIONS. THIS RESEARCH INTENDED TO EXPLORE THE CORE COMPETENCIES AND COMPETENCY GAPS IN THE ASSESSMENT OF THE UNION LEADERS THEMSELVES AND WORKERS AFFILIATED TO THE UNIONS. THEREFORE, TWO STUDIES WERE DEVELOPED. THE FIRST MAPPED THE COMPETENCY DEMANDS OF THE UNION LEADERS. THE METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH WAS QUALITATIVE, WITH DOCUMENTARY ANALYSIS OF THE BYLAWS OF FIVE UNIONS AND 12 IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS. THE SAMPLE INCLUDED - EMPLOYER AND LABOR - UNION LEADERS AND PEOPLE AFFILIATED WITH UNIONS. AFTER THE VERBATIM TRANSCRIPTION, CATEGORICAL CONTENT ANALYSIS WAS APPLIED, INVOLVING THREE INDEPENDENT EXPERTS. TWO CRITERIA WERE ADOPTED TO INCLUDE THE CATEGORIES: (A) CONSISTENCY (INTER-RATER AGREEMENT SUPERIOR TO 66%) ; AND (B) RELEVANCE (CITED BY AT LEAST THREE INTERVIEWEES). THE RESULTS APPOINT 26 CORE COMPETENCIES FOR THE UNION LEADERS, PARTICULARLY: INTERACTION WITH THE CATEGORY, KNOWLEDGE OF UNION BUSINESS AND ATTITUDE FOCUSED ON CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. IN THE SECOND STUDY, THE PERCEIVED MASTER AND COMPETENCY GAPS OF THE UNION LEADERS WERE ASSESSED IN DIFFERENT SECTORS, BASED ON SELF AND HETERO-ASSESSMENT (PEOPLE AFFILIATED WITH THE UNIONS) AND THESE LEADERS’ PERCEIVED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE STUDY PARTICIPANTS WERE 50 LABOR UNION LEADERS AND 256 CLT (LABOR LAWS CONSOLIDATION) EMPLOYED OR SELF-EMPLOYED WORKERS AFFILIATED WITH FIVE DIFFERENT UNIONS. THE INCLUSION CRITERIA WERE: THE UNION LEADERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ELECTED AND IN OFFICE FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR AND THE WORKERS SHOULD BE PROFESSIONALLY ACTIVE IN THE AREA REPRESENTED BY ONE OF THE PARTICIPATING UNION FOR THE SAME MINIMUM PERIOD. THE METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH IN THIS SECOND STUDY WAS QUANTITATIVE, USING THE SCALE DEVELOPED IN STUDY 1 TO MEASURE THE UNION LEADERS’ COMPETENCY GAPS AND THE CURRENT PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SCALE – EPADP. THE QUESTIONNAIRES WERE ANSWERED INDIVIDUALLY AND FACE-TO-FACE. DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS WERE USED TO OUTLINE A COMPETENCY PANORAMA OF THE DIFFERENT UNION LEADERS AND FACTOR ANALYSIS TO DEFINE THE STRUCTURE OF THE COMPETENCY SCALE OF UNION LEADERS, BESIDES INFERENTIAL STATISTICS BY MEANS OF ANOVA TO COMPARE THE RESULTS AMONG GROUPS OF UNIONS AND THE T-TEST TO COMPARE THE SELF AND HETERO-ASSESSMENT. THE MAIN RESEARCH RESULTS WERE: (I) THE UNION LEADERS’ EXECUTION OF THE ACTIVITIES PRESUPPOSE A SET OF 26 COMPETENCIES, THE MOST IMPORTANT OF WHICH IS THE DEFENSE OF THE CATEGORY/DEFENSE OF THE RIGHTS; (II) SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES EXIST BETWEEN SELF AND HETERO-ASSESSMENT, IN WHICH THE UNION LEADERS FIND THEMSELVES BETTER PREPARED FOR THEIR PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES THAN THE WORKERS THEY REPRESENT; (III) THE FACTORIAL STRUCTURE OF THE COMPETENCY SCALE WAS ONE-DIMENSIONAL AND A SHORT TEN-ITEM VERSION OF THE SCALE WAS TESTED, PRESENTING GOOD EVIDENCE OF PSYCHOMETRIC VALIDITY; (IV) A CORRELATION EXISTS BETWEEN THE UNION MANAGERS’ COMPETENCY GAP AND THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. HENCE, THIS STUDY CONTRIBUTES TO THE UNIONS’ MORE EFFECTIVE ACTIVITIES IN THE WORK RELATIONS, AS THE MAPPING OF COMPETENCIES AND THE VERIFICATION OF COMPETENCY GAPS CAN SUPPORT THE PLANNING OF TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS FOR UNION LEADERS.

ABSTRACT
IN THE CURRENT SCENARIO, THE ACADEMIC EDUCATION IN PSYCHOLOGY REQUIRES A GREATER BREADTH THAN THE ONE THAT EXISTED AT THE ONSET OF THE FIRST COURSES. THE AIM OF THIS THESIS IS TO EVALUATE THE ACADEMIC EDUCATION IN PSYCHOLOGY OFFERED BY PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS IN BRAZIL, HAVING AS ITS STRUCTURING AXIS THE PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCES ESTABLISHED FOR THE AREA. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THIS OBJECTIVE, FOUR INTEGRATED STUDIES WERE CARRIED OUT. THE FIRST ONE ANALYZED THE EVOLUTION OF THE ACADEMIC EDUCATION IN PSYCHOLOGY BASED ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE STUDENTS IN THE 2006, 2009 AND 2012 ENADE EXAMINATIONS. THE RESULTS WERE POSITIVE REGARDING PARTICIPATION IN EXTRACLASS ACTIVITIES, WITH A GRADUAL INCREASE IN THE DIFFERENT EXAMINATIONS. HOWEVER, THE GENERAL AND SPECIFIC COMPONENT SCORES DROPPED A LOT IN THE PERIOD, INDICATING POSSIBLE FORMATION FAILURES. THE SECOND STUDY MADE IT POSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY, FROM THE CURRENT CURRICULAR GUIDELINES OF GRADUATION COURSES, THE IMPORTANCE THAT TEACHERS (74) AND COURSE MANAGERS (40) ATTRIBUTE TO THE PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCES OF THE ACADEMIC EDUCATION IN PSYCHOLOGY, AS WELL AS THE LEVEL OF MASTERY THAT THEY CONSIDER THE STUDENTS DEVELOPED IN EACH OF THEM. THE RESULTS POINTED OUT A GREATER LACK OF COMPETENCE IN FORMULATING EMPIRICAL SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH QUESTIONS; IN ELABORATING SCIENTIFIC REPORTS; AND IN ELABORATING TECHNICAL ADVICES, REPORTS AND PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATIONS, WITH SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, WITH MORE UNFAVORABLE RESULTS FOR THE GRADUATES FROM PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS, WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FORMING THE LARGEST NUMBER OF PSYCHOLOGISTS IN BRAZIL. THE THIRD STUDY HAD A LONGITUDINAL DESIGN AND ALLOWED TO EVALUATE THE PROCESS OF ACQUISITION OF COMPETENCES IN THE GRADUATION IN PSYCHOLOGY THROUGHOUT THE ACADEMIC FORMATION. IN THIS STUDY, 213 STUDENTS FROM A PUBLIC AND A PRIVATE UNIVERSITY IN THE CITY OF SÃO LUÍS-MA EVALUATED THEIR LEVEL OF PREPARATION IN THE PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES ESTABLISHED FOR THE ACADEMIC EDUCATION IN PSYCHOLOGY. THE RESULTS INDICATED GAINS OF COMPETENCES THROUGHOUT THE DIFFERENT SEMESTERS OF THE COURSE, BUT WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE STUDENTS, THAT IS, THE POSSIBLE INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES AT THE TIME OF JOINING THE COURSE ARE MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT THE ACADEMIC FORMATION. IN ADDITION, SCIENTIFIC INITIATION ACTS AS A PREDICTOR OF COMPETENCES RELATED TO THE DOMAIN OF COMPETENCES AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH SKILLS; WHILE THE PARTICIPATION IN EXTENSION ACTIVITIES HAD PREDICTIVE POWER OVER THE THREE DIMENSIONS OF THE CURRICULAR GUIDELINES FOR THE COURSE OF PSYCHOLOGY - COMPETENCES AND SKILLS OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH; INTERVENTION IN GROUP AND ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESSES; AND INTERVENTION IN INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESSES. IN OPPOSITION TO WHAT WOULD BE EXPECTED, THE PARTICIPATION IN THE STAGE AND ITS DURATION DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE ACQUISITION OF COMPETENCES IN ANY OF THE THREE DIMENSIONS THAT WERE MEASURED. THIS CONFIRMS A FREQUENT CRITICISM OF THE STAGES THAT THEY DO NOT ALWAYS FULFILL THE LEARNING ROLE. THE FOURTH AND FINAL STUDY HAD A QUALITATIVE APPROACH AND ANALYZED THE PERCEPTION OF GRADUATES ABOUT THE ELEMENTS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THEIR PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATION. THE PARTICIPANTS INTERVIEWED ARE DIVIDED INTO THREE GROUPS: THOSE AT THE BEGINNING OF THEIR CAREERS (UP TO 2 YEARS IN PSYCHOLOGY); THE ONES WHO HAVE ALREADY PASSED THE INITIAL STAGE OF THEIR CAREERS (5 YEARS OR MORE YEARS OF SERVICE); AND THE ONES WHO HAVE COMPLETED A DEGREE IN PSYCHOLOGY, BUT DO NOT WORK IN THE AREA. THE RESULTS STAND OUT THAT AS LESS DEVELOPED COMPETENCES THOSE RELATED TO PUBLIC HEALTH; SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY AND PSYCHOPATHOLOGY, CONFIRMING THE TRADITIONAL PERSPECTIVE OF THE ACADEMIC EDUCATION FOCUSED ON CLINICAL PRACTICE AND INDIVIDUAL PROCESSES. THE ULTIMATE RESULTS WERE DISCUSSED BASED ON THE ACADEMIC EDUCATION PSYCHOLOGY LITERATURE AND THE MAIN IMPLICATIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF THIS THESIS WERE PRESENTED, AS WELL AS THE PROPOSAL OF A STUDY AGENDA FOR THE SUBJECT.

ABSTRACT
THE PRESENT THESIS SOUGHT TO DEEPEN THE NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK OF JOB ENGAGEMENT IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT. JOB ENGAGEMENT REFERS TO A POSITIVE MENTAL STATE IN WHICH THE WORKER EXPERIENCES FEELINGS OF VIGOR, DEDICATION AND ABSORPTION WHEN PERFORMING HIS PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES. JOB ENGAGEMENT HAS BECOME AN IMPORTANT INDICATOR OF WELL-BEING AT WORK AND HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY STUDIED IN THE FIELD OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE, ESPECIALLY FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF THE JOB DEMANDS AND RESOURCES MODEL. THIS MODEL CATEGORIZES, AS DEMANDS, THE PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL OR ORGANIZATIONAL ASPECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE WORK, WHICH IMPLY COSTS TO THE HEALTH OF THE WORKER, INVOLVING PHYSICAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFORTS TO RESIST THEM. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE JOB RESOURCES ARE PHYSICAL, SOCIAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL OR ORGANIZATIONAL ASPECTS THAT AIM AT REACHING THE GOALS OF WORK AND FAVOR THE LEARNING AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WORKER, BESIDES COLLABORATING IN THE REDUCTION OF THE DEMANDS OF WORK. THE PRESENT THESIS FOCUSED EXCLUSIVELY ON THE ROLE PLAYED BY TWO RESOURCES (ONE PERSONAL AND ONE JOB) ON JOB ENGAGEMENT: MINDFULNESS AT WORK AND ETHICAL LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR. MINDFULNESS AT WORK IS ABOUT HOW FULLY CONSCIOUS PEOPLE ARE IN THEIR WORK ENVIRONMENT. ETHICAL LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR, IN TURN, IS ASSOCIATED WITH ETHICAL AWARENESS AND ADHERENCE TO MORALLY HIGH VALUES, EXPRESSED BY LEADERS IN DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, DESPITE THE RISK OF SUFFERING NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES. CONSIDERING THE SHORTAGE OF INSTRUMENTS IN BRAZIL TO MEASURE THESE CONSTRUCTS, AS WELL AS THEIR POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE USE IN ORGANIZATIONAL DIAGNOSES, IT WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF THE FIRST STUDY TO ADAPT AND GATHER INITIAL EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF THE INTERNAL AND CONVERGENT STRUCTURE OF THE MINDFULNESS AT WORK SCALE, IN 383 BRAZILIAN WORKERS. CONFIRMATORY FACTORIAL ANALYZES SHOWED THE EXISTENCE OF SEVEN ITEMS CONCENTRATED IN A SINGLE FACTOR, WITH AN INTERNAL CONSISTENCY INDEX OF 0.81. IN CONVERGENT VALIDATION, THE SCALE WAS POSITIVELY AND MODERATELY CORRELATED WITH WORK ENGAGEMENT, MENTAL HEALTH, AND POSITIVE AFFECT TOWARD WORK, AND NEGATIVELY AND MODERATELY, WITH NEUROTICISM. THE SECOND STUDY, IN TURN, AIMED TO GATHER EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF INTERNAL AND CONVERGENT STRUCTURE OF THE ETHICAL LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR SCALE IN 405 BRAZILIAN WORKERS. THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYZES POINTED TO A FINAL VERSION OF 35 ITEMS CONCENTRATED IN A SINGLE FACTOR, WITH AN INTERNAL CONSISTENCY INDEX OF 0.96. IN CONVERGENT VALIDATION, THE SCALE WAS POSITIVELY AND MODERATELY CORRELATED WITH JOB ENGAGEMENT, JOB SATISFACTION, AND AFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT; AND, WEAKLY AND NEGATIVELY, WITH THE ABSENCE OF GENERAL MENTAL HEALTH AND EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION. THE PSYCHOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH SCALES THEREFORE RECOMMEND THEIR FUTURE USE IN RESEARCH AND ORGANIZATIONAL DIAGNOSES. SUBSEQUENTLY, A THIRD STUDY WAS CONDUCTED ON 373 BRAZILIAN WORKERS, WHO SOUGHT TO TEST THE IMPACT OF ETHICAL LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR ON JOB ENGAGEMENT, AS WELL AS THE MODERATING ROLE OF MINDFULNESS AT WORK IN THIS RELATIONSHIP. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT WORKERS WITH LEADERS WHO PRESENTED ETHICAL BEHAVIORS TENDED TO MANIFEST HIGHER LEVELS OF LABOR ENGAGEMENT, AND MINDFULNESS AT WORK REGULATED THIS RELATIONSHIP, SO THAT WHEN IT PRESENTED AT HIGH LEVELS, IT MAXIMIZED THE EFFECTS OF ETHICAL LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR ON JOB ENGAGEMENT. FINALLY, THE FOURTH STUDY SOUGHT TO TEST THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AN INTERVENTION PROGRAM BASED ON MINDFULNESS AT WORK ON JOB ENGAGEMENT IN 15 BRAZILIAN WORKERS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THERE WERE NO DIFFERENCES IN THE JOB ENGAGEMENT SCORES AT TIME TWO BETWEEN THE PARTICIPANTS WHO BELONGED TO THE INTERVENTION GROUP AND THOSE WHO BELONGED TO THE COMPARISON GROUP, AS WELL AS BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS, INTRA PARTICIPANTS WHEN COMPARED OVER TIME. WE DISCUSSED POSSIBLE CONTEXTUAL REASONS TO EXPLAIN THIS CONTROVERSIAL RESULT. NEVERTHELESS, THIS THESIS HAS ALLOWED US TO DEEPEN THE NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK OF LABOR ENGAGEMENT BY DEMONSTRATING THE IMPACT OF TWO LABOR RESOURCES THAT ARE LITTLE STUDIED IN BRAZILIAN WORK AND ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY, NAMELY, MINDFULNESS AT WORK (A PERSONAL RESOURCE) AND BEHAVIOR OF ETHICAL LEADERSHIP (A JOB RESOURCE) AS PREDICTORS OF THIS IMPORTANT INDICATOR OF WELL-BEING AT WORK. EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON THE MODERATING ROLE THAT MINDFULNESS AT WORK HAS ASSUMED IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ETHICAL LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR AND JOB ENGAGEMENT. FINALLY, AN AGENDA OF FUTURE RESEARCHES AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE ADOPTION OF PRACTICES BASED ON THESE INVESTIGATIONS, IN THE BRAZILIAN ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT, ARE PRESENTED.

ABSTRACT
THIS RESEARCH HAS THE OBJECTIVE OF STUDYING THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF VIOLENCE AMONG STUDENTS IN BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN THE CITY OF SÃO PEDRO DA ALDEIA / RJ. A TOTAL OF 419 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED, WHICH 152 ATTEND PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND 267 ATTEND PRIVATE SCHOOLS. THE STUDENTS WERE AGED FROM 15 TO 18 YEARS OLD AND ATTENDED SCHOOLS LOCATED BOTH ON SUBURBS AND DOWNTOWN. A QUESTIONNAIRE CONTAINING A FREE EVOCATION TEST WITH INDUCER TERM "VIOLENCE" WAS USED, AND SEVERAL LIKERT SCALES WERE USED TO EXPLAIN THE VIOLENCE. SEVERAL ANALYZES WERE REALIZED, MORE SPECIFICALLY, SIMILARITY ANALYSIS, PROTOTYPICAL ANALYSIS AND STUDENT'S T-TESTS. THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT BULLYING IS THE MAJOR STRUCTURING AXIS OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATION AMONG THE POPULATION SURVEYED AND INDICATE THIS TYPE OF VIOLENCE STRONGER IN THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT. THE DATA SHOW THAT PRIVATE SCHOOL STUDENTS REJECT SIGNIFICANTLY THE EXPLANATION THAT AGGRESSION OCCURS MORE BECAUSE OF THE VICTIM HOMOSEXUALITY COMPARED TO PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS. OTHER RESULTS INDICATE THAT STUDENTS FROM PRIVATE SCHOOLS ACCEPT MORE THE INDIVIDUALIZING EXPLANATIONS ABOUT THE REASON OF AGGRESSION COMPARED TO STUDENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. IN ADDITION, PRIVATE SCHOOL STUDENTS REJECT LESS EXTERNAL EXPLANATIONS OF AGGRESSION COMPARED TO PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS. THE RESULTS POINT TO REFLECTIONS ABOUT SCHOOL ENGAGEMENT AND THE PRACTICE OF SOCIAL SKILLS AS INTERVENTION ACTIONS TO COMBAT BULLYING. THEREFORE, THE NEED FOR METHODOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STUDIES OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS IS HIGHLIGHTED, ESPECIALLY REGARDING THE CONTEXT IN WHICH THE DATA ARE COLLECTED AND HOW CLOSE IT IS TO THE REALITY IN WHICH SOCIAL REPRESENTATION IS USED IN EVERYDAY SITUATIONS, SINCE THE WAY OF PERCEIVING THE PRACTICE OF VIOLENCE INTERFERES WITH ITS ACCEPTANCE OR DENIAL.

ABSTRACT
THE PURPOSE OF THIS DISSERTATION WAS TO ADAPT AN INTELLIGENCE SCALE FOR THE COMPUTERIZED APPLICATION AND ENSURE THAT THE PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE SCALE ARE MAINTAINED EVEN IN THE ELECTRONIC APPLICATION. TWO STUDIES WERE CARRIED OUT. IN THE FIRST STUDY, WE TRIED TO EVALUATE THE LATENT STRUCTURE OF THE COMPUTERIZED VERSION OF THE ABSTRACT AND SPATIAL REASONING TEST. THE ELECTRONIC VERSION WAS APPLIED TO 540 STUDENTS, FROM THE EIGHTH AND NINTH YEAR OF PRIMARY EDUCATION, FROM FOUR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS OF THE CITY OF ITABORAÍ, NITERÓI AND SÃO GONÇALO, IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. THE PARTICIPANTS WERE AGED BETWEEN 13 AND 18 YEARS (M = 14.71 ; SD = 1.20), AND THE MAJORITY OF THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF YOUNG FEMALES (55.7%). THE ABSTRACT AND SPATIAL REASONING TEST (TRAE) WAS COMPUTERIZED IN A FREE PLATFORM CALLED JAVA, WHICH BE DEFINED AS A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE THAT IS COMPILED INTO A BYTECODE THAT IS EXECUTED BY A VIRTUAL MACHINE. THE ANALYSIS OF THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THE TRAE, COMPUTERIZED VERSION, WAS EVALUATED THROUGH THE STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODEL. THE RESULTS INDICATED A ONE MODEL FOR THE COMPUTERIZED VERSION OF THE TRAE. THESE RESULTS PARTIALLY CONFIRM THE BIFACTOR STRUCTURE OF THE ORIGINAL INSTRUMENT. THE FIRST STUDY ALSO INDICATED THAT THE ITEMS PRESENTED DISTRIBUTION BALANCE OF THE DIFFICULTY PARAMETER. IN THE SECOND STUDY, WE TRIED TO EVALUATE THE EQUIVALENCE OF THE FACTORIAL STRUCTURE AND PARAMETERS OF THE ITEMS BETWEEN THE COMPUTERIZED VERSIONS AND PAPER-AND-PENCIL OF THE TRAE. A TOTAL OF 318 STUDENTS FROM THE EIGHTH AND NINTH YEARS OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION, FROM PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS, IN THE CITY OF SÃO GONÇALO - RJ, AGED BETWEEN 12 AND 21 (M = 14.69, SD = 1.27) AND 55% FEMALE WHO RESPONDED TO BOTH COMPUTERIZED AND PAPER-AND-PENCIL VERSIONS. THE DATA WERE ANALYZED IN THE CONTEXT OF STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODEL. THREE MODELS WERE TESTED: 1 CONFIGURAL, IN WHICH WERE FIXED THE NUMBER OF FACTORS AS EQUAL BETWEEN THE APPLICATION FORMATS; 2 METRIC, IN WHICH THE NUMBER OF FACTORS AND FACTOR LOADS WERE FIXED; 3 IN WHICH THE PARAMETERS OF THE PREVIOUS MODELS PLUS THE THRESHOLDS WERE FIXED. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE TRAE MET THE INVARIANCE ASSUMPTIONS OF THE MODEL. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT THE COMPUTERIZED TRAE PRESENTED EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF SATISFACTORY INTERNAL STRUCTURE AND EQUIVALENCE TO THE THEORETICAL MODEL, AS WELL AS INVARIANCE OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE ITEMS BETWEEN THE COMPUTERIZED VERSION AND THE PENCIL AND PAPER VERSION. FUTURE STUDIES COULD GATHER ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE OF THE INVARIANCE OF THE COMPUTERIZED INSTRUMENT BY COMPARING ITS INTERNAL STRUCTURE AND CORRELATING THE SCORES OF THE COMPUTERIZED TRAE TEST WITH THE SCORES OF OTHER COMPUTERIZED INSTRUMENTS THAT HAD ALREADY PROVIDED GOOD EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY. THESE RESULTS PROVIDE ANOTHER MEASURE OF RAPID APPLICATION THAT CONTRIBUTES TO UNDERSTANDING THE INTELLIGENCE AND LEARNING PROCESSES OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AT SCHOOL AGES, CONTRIBUTING MAINLY TO ASSESSMENTS THAT AIM TO IMPROVE TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGIES.

ABSTRACT
HISTORICALLY, THE RELATION BETWEEN THE USE OF JUVENILE LABOR AND SCHOOL LIFE HAS BEEN MARKED BY EXPLOITATION AND DISARTICULATION, SERVING TO SOCIALLY CONTAIN THE POOR CLASSES WHO GIVE UP A BROADER EDUCATION TO ANTICIPATE THEIR ENTRY INTO THE JOB MARKET. THE YOUNG APPRENTICE PROGRAM OFFERS YOUNG PEOPLE BETWEEN 14 AND 24 YEARS AN INCLUSION IN THE JOB MARKET AND, AT THE SAME TIME, TECHNICAL EDUCATION. THIS RESEARCH INTENDED TO ASSESS THE YOUNG APPRENTICE PROGRAM CONTRIBUTION TO THE ADOLESCENT¿S LIFE, FROM 15 TO 18 YEARS, IN TERMS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, EMPLOYABILITY, SOCIAL SKILLS AND SELF-EFFICACY. THEREFORE, A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL STUDY WAS DEVELOPED WITH DATA COLLECTION IN TWO PHASES. HENCE, TWO TYPES OF AUDIENCES WERE INVESTIGATED: 250 ADOLESCENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM (EXPERIMENTAL GROUP) AND 259 ADOLESCENTS WHO DID NOT PARTICIPATE (CONTROL GROUP) IN THE METROPOLITAN REGION OF RIO DE JANEIRO. THE FIRST DATA COLLECTION PHASE HAPPENED WHEN THE CLASS GROUPS WERE ESTABLISHED IN THE YOUNG APPRENTIC PROGRAM, AND THE SECOND, WITH THE SAME ADOLESCENTS (EXPERIMENTAL AND CONTROL GROUPS), BETWEEN SIX AND SEVEN MONTHS AFTER THE INITIAL PHASE. THE DATA COLLECTION TOOLS USED TO MEASURE THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, EMPLOYABILITY, SELF-EFFICACY AND THE SOCIAL SKILLS REPERTOIRE PRESENTED APPROPRIATE PSYCHOMETRIC VALIDITY EVIDENCE. TO ANALYZE THE DATA, THE MIXED VARIANCE ANALYSIS ANOVA 2 (GROUP) X 2 (TIME) TEST WITH REPEATED MEASURES (INTRA-SUBJECTS) IN THE TIME AND GROUP FACTOR FOR EACH OF THE DEPENDENT VARIABLES IN THE STUDY. THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE YOUNG APPRENTICE PROGRAM FAVORS THE PERCEIVED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, EMPLOYABILITY AND SELF-EFFICACY IN THE INVESTIGATED PERIOD, WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE FOR THE SOCIAL SKILLS VARIABLE. THESE RESEARCH FINDINGS ARE DISCUSSED IN VIEW OF THE LITERATURE IN THE AREA AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE STUDY ARE PRESENTED, AS WELL AS SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE THEME.

ABSTRACT
DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS AND SOCIAL SUPPORT RECEIVED IN SCHOOL, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTS, RESILIENCE PROCESSES MAY BE DEVELOPED AND VULNERABILITIES OVERCOME BY STUDENTS, PROMOTING MENTAL HEALTH AND GOOD ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IN THE FINAL YEARS OF MIDDLE SCHOOL. THIS WAY, THE GENERAL AIM OF THIS THESIS WAS TO EXAMINE SOME STUDENTS¿ AND TEACHERS¿ RISK AND PROTECTION FACTORS RELATED TO LIFE SATISFACTION (LS) AND SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENT (SA) OF STUDENTS ATTENDING THE FINAL YEARS OF MIDDLE SCHOOL (M.S.), CONSIDERING INDIVIDUALS¿ RESOURCES (STUDENTS AND TEACHERS), AS WELL AS THE RESOURCES OF THE FAMILY, SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY CONTEXTS. THIS THESIS COMPRISES FOUR STUDIES ¿ ONE THEORETICAL AND THREE EMPIRICAL. THE THEORETICAL STUDY CONSISTED OF A NON-SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW THAT AIMED TO INVESTIGATE AND REFLECT, FROM THE UNDERSTANDING OF RESILIENCE IN THE SCHOOL CONTEXT, ON THE INFLUENCES OF SOME RISK (I.E. SCHOOL FAILURE AND EXPOSURE TO VIOLENCE INTRA AND EXTRA-FAMILIAR BY THE STUDENT AND PERCEPTION OF TEACHER’S BURNOUT) AND PROTECTION (I.E. SOCIAL SKILLS, SELF-EFFICACY AND PERCEPTION OF SOCIAL SUPPORT OF THE FAMILY, PARTNERS, TEACHERS AND COMMUNITIES BY THE STUDENTS AND SOCIAL EDUCATIONAL SKILLS AND THE TEACHER-STUDENT RELATION) FACTORS, ABOUT THE INDICATORS OF ADJUSTMENT, LIFE SATISFACTION AND SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENT DURING THE FINAL YEARS OF M.S. THE SECOND STUDY AIMED TO COMPARE LOW, MEDIUM AND HIGH SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENT LEVELS IN RELATION TO RISK (SCHOOL FAILURE, AS WELL AS INTRA AND EXTRA-FAMILIAR VIOLENCE) AND PROTECTION (SOCIAL SKILLS, SELF-EFFICACY AND SOCIAL SUPPORT) FACTORS. THE THIRD STUDY ASSESSED TEACHERS’ EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS (HSE-PR) AND THE BURNOUT ABOUT THE TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIP. FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE BIOECOLOGICAL THEORY OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, THE LATTER STUDY AIMED TO TEST TWO MODELS OF PREDICTION: ONE FOR THE SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENT AND ANOTHER ONE FOR THE STUDENTS’ LIFE SATISFACTION IN THE FINAL YEARS OF MIDDLE SCHOOL. SUCH MODELS HAD, AS PREDICTORS, EXPOSURE TO VIOLENCE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE FAMILY, PERCEPTION OF TEACHERS’ BURNOUT (RISK FACTORS), SOCIAL SKILLS AND PERCEPTION OF THE SOCIAL SUPPORT OF THE FAMILY, FRIENDS, PARTNERS AND STUDENTS’ TEACHERS (PROTECTION FACTOR). 400 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE STUDY (220 FEMALE AND 180 MALES STUDENTS) AT BETWEEN 11 AND 17 YEARS OF AGE, OF GRADES 7, 8 AND 9 OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE MIDDLE SCHOOLS LOCATED IN SOME CITIES OF THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, AND 400 TEACHERS WHO TEACH TO STUDENTS OF THESE GRADES. THE INSTRUMENTS USED IN THE EMPIRICAL STUDIES, FOR THE DATA COLLECTION OF THE STUDENTS, WERE: A QUESTIONNAIRE WITH DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND CRITERIA BRAZIL; PERCEPTION SCALE OF SOCIAL SUPPORT; SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY FOR ADOLESCENTS; GENERALIZED SELF-EFFICACY SCALE; GLOBAL SCALE OF LIFE SATISFACTION FOR ADOLESCENTS; BRAZILIAN YOUTH QUESTIONNAIRE (PHASE II VERSION). AS FOR THE TEACHERS, A QUESTIONNAIRE CONTAINING DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND CRITERIA BRAZIL WERE USED; INVENTORY OF SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL SKILLS – TEACHERS’ VERSION; MASLACH’S (MBI) BURNOUT INVENTORY. DESCRIPTIVE AND INFERENTIAL STATISTICAL ANALYSES WERE CARRIED OUT (ANOVA, PEARSON R-CORRELATION AND MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION). THE MAIN RESULTS WERE: IN THE FIRST STUDY RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE STUDENTS’ RESOURCES AND THEIR CONTEXTS ACTED INDEPENDENTLY AND COMPLEMENTARY TO DIMINISH/IMPEDE THE IMPACT OF RISK FACTORS AND, THIS WAY, FOMENT RESILIENCE PROCESSES. IN THE SECOND STUDY, LOW-ACHIEVEMENT STUDENTS SHOWED MORE RISK FACTORS THAN PROTECTION FACTORS WHEN THEY WERE COMPARED WITH MEDIUM AND HIGH- ACHIEVEMENT STUDENTS. IN THE THIRD STUDY, TEACHERS’ HSE POSITIVELY CORRELATED WITH THE TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIP, AND NEGATIVELY WITH BURNOUT. SUCH NEGATIVE CORRELATION CONCERNED THE TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIP. IN THE FOURTH STUDY, THE STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION OF SOCIAL SUPPORT OF THE FAMILY, TEACHERS AND COMMUNITY AND ITS SOCIAL SKILLS PREDICTED THE SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENT. IN REGARDS TO LIFE SATISFACTION, IT WAS PREDICTED BY THE STUDENTS’ EXPOSURE TO VIOLENCE IN THE FAMILY, TEACHERS’ PERCEPTION OF BURNOUT AND THE STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION OF THE SOCIAL SUPPORT OF THE FAMILY, PARTNERS, TEACHERS AND COMMUNITY. FAMILY, SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY PROTECTION FACTORS WERE ASSOCIATED TO THE STUDENTS’ PROCESSES OF RESILIENCE AT THE END OF MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND ARE EXPECTED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF PERSONAL AND CONTEXTUAL VARIABLES INVOLVED IN RESILIENCE PROCESSES IN EDUCATIONAL CONTEXTS. SUCH INFORMATION WILL ENABLE US TO PROPOSE FUTURE EMPIRICAL RESEARCH AND INTERVENTIONS WITH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS WHO LIVE IN A CONTEXT OF PSYCHOSOCIAL VULNERABILITY, BESIDES FOMENTING PUBLIC POLICIES TOWARDS HEALTH PROMOTION AND PREVENTION.

ABSTRACT
THE COMPASSION FATIGUE IS DEFINED BY FIGLEY (1995) AS A SYNDROME THAT AFFECTS THE PROFESSIONAL HELP / ASSISTANCE BY ACTING DIRECTLY WITH A CUSTOMER IN SUFFERING. IT HAS FEATURES SUCH AS A STATE OF BIOLOGICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL EXHAUSTION THAT HAS AS ITS CORE THE PRACTICE OF COMPASSION. THIS RESEARCH AIMED TO NDERSTAND THE COMPASSION FATIGUE PHENOMENON IN RELATION TO TWO GROUPS OF WORKERS, WHO WORK DIRECTLY WITH AID / RELIEF, WHICH ARE HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND CIVIL DEFENSE. THE SURVEY DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENT WAS A SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEW AND CONTENT ANALYSIS. THE RESU LTS SHOWED THAT COMPASSION IS MORE PRESENT WITH PROFESSIONALS CIVIL DEFENSE FOUND INTERNAL MECHANISMS TO DEAL WITH THE SUFFERING ARISING FROM WORK, SAW PLEASURE AND SATISFACTION, THUS PROMOTING SATISFACTION OF COMPASSION. IN RELATION TO HEALTH PROFESSIONALS WAS MOST RECURRENT PRESENCE OF THE FEELING OF HELPLESSNESS, DISTANCE AND IMPERSONALITY, BUT NOT COMPASSION WITH OTHERS. THIS RESULT INDICATES THAT HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ARE MORE VULNERABLE TO BURNOUT SYNDROME THAN COMPASSION FATIGUE. THE LIMITATIONS OF THE RESEARCH REFERS TO THE CONCEPTUAL INACCURACIES OF COMPASSION FATIGUE AND OTHER CONCEPTS THAT ARE RELATED TO BURNOUT, SECONDARY TRAUMATIC STRESS AND POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS, AND THEREFORE REQUIRES BOTH A REVIEW OF THE CONCEPT, AS THE COMPASSION FATIGUE OF THE INSTRUMENT TO BE HELD IN FUTURE PROJECTS.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY AIMED TO UNDERSTAND THE SOCIAL THOUGHT OF QUOTA POLICY IN PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES BY STUDENTS OF PRIVATE NITEROI UNIVERSITY, BASED ON THE THEORY OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS. COMPLEMENTARILY, THE CENTRAL NUCLEUS THEORY WAS USED. ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE STUDENTS OF A PRIVATE UNIVERSITY LOCATED IN THE CITY NITERÓI, IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, PARTICIPATED INTHE RESEARCH. A LIBERAL EVOCATION TEST WAS APPLIED FOR PROTOTYPICAL ANALYSIS TO BE PERFORMED LATER, OF THE INDUCED TERMS "QUOTAS" AND "JUSTICE". THE RESULTS OBTAINED INDICATE THATTHE ACTIVATED ELEMENTS ABOUT THE QUOTAS ARE CONTRARY TO VACANCIES RESERVATION SYSTEM, FOR UNFAIR CONSIDERATION CONSEQUENTLY THE STUDENTS ARE FAVORABLE TO INDIVIDUAL MERIT IDEOLOGY. WERE ADDED ALSO TO THE RESULTS THREE INDICES COMPLEMENTARY TO THE DISTRIBUTION WHICH PROVIDED INFORMATION OF CORPUSWORDS FROM THE TECHNIQUE OF FREE EVOCATION. IN THIS WAY, IT WAS FOUND-THAT THE TERMS "QUOTAS" AND "JUSTICE" SYMBOLIZE THOUGHTS DIVIDED BETWEEN STEREOTYPED AND IDIOSYNCRATIC.

ABSTRACT
THE WORK ENGAGEMENT IS A MOTIVATIONAL CONSTRUCT, CHARACTERIZED BY A WORK-RELATED POSITIVE AND FULFILLING MENTAL STATE. ACCORDING TO THE JOB DEMANDS-RESOURCES MODEL, SUCH CONSTRUCT ASSOCIATED WITH PERSONAL AND JOB-RELATED RESOURCES. BESIDES THAT ENGAGEMENT SERVES A MEDIATOR OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE DEMANDS, RESOURCES AND RESULTS OF LABOR. BASING ON THAT FRAMEWORK, THE PRESENT STUDY SOUGHT TO DEEPEN THE NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK OF WORK ENGAGEMENT IN BRAZILIAN SAMPLES THROUGH THE IDENTIFICATION OF DIFFERENT PREDICTORS AND OUTCOMES RELATED TO THE WORK OF THIS CONSTRUCT AND BY CARRYING OUT FOUR DIFFERENT STUDIES. THE RESOURCES ADOPTED FOR THE STUDY INCLUDE FEEDBACK FROM OTHERS, PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY AND PARTICIPATION IN DECISION-MAKING. AS DEMANDS HINDRANCE, THE PERCEPTION OF ORGANIZATIONAL POLICIES AND THE AMBIGUITY OF ROLES WERE USED. AS CHALLENGING DEMANDS, THERE WAS THE COMPLEXITY OF THE TASK. AS PERSONAL RESOURCES, AUTHENTIC LIVING. FINALLY, AS RESULT OF THE WORK, THERE IS WORK ROLE PERFORMANCE. CONSIDERING THE ABSENCE OF VALIDATED INSTRUMENTS IN BRAZIL FOR ONE OF THE CONSTRUCTS INCLUDED IN THE STUDY, THE FIRST INVESTIGATION AIMED TO ADAPT AND GATHER INITIAL EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY WITH THE INDIVIDUAL AUTHENTICITY MEASURE AT WORK (IAM WORK) IN 477 BRAZILIAN WORKERS. THE RESULTS OF THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS HAVE DEMONSTRATED EARLY EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY, ENABLING THE FULL REPRODUCTION OF THE TWELVE ITEMS AND THREE FACTORS OF THE ORIGINAL VERSION (AUTHENTIC LIVING, SELF-ALIENATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF EXTERNAL INFLUENCE). MOREOVER, THE AUTHENTIC LIVING (TRULY AUTHENTIC POLO), CORRELATED POSITIVELY WITH WORK ENGAGEMENT AND OTHER POSITIVE CONSTRUCTS RELATED TO WORK AND LIFE. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE DATA COLLECTION WAS PERFORMED WITH THE 1.244 WORKERS, AND FROM THAT TWO STUDIES WERE ORIGINATED. ONE OF THEM EXAMINED THE EFFECT OF THE PERCEPTION OF ORGANIZATIONAL POLICIES ON WORK ENGAGEMENT, MODERATED BY THE CLIMATE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY, AND THIS IMPACT WAS SIGNIFICANT WHEN THE CLIMATE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY WAS HIGH. IN THIS SENSE, THE ILL EFFECTS OF PERCEPTION OF ORGANIZATIONAL POLICIES ON WORK ENGAGEMENT WERE HIGHER IN ORGANIZATIONS WITH HIGH CLIMATE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY. THE OTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND THE DIRECT EFFECTS OF FEEDBACK OF OTHERS AND AUTHENTIC LIVING ON WORK ENGAGEMENT AND THE PERFORMANCE OF ROLES, AS WELL AS THE TOTAL MEDIATING ROLE OF ENGAGEMENT IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FEEDBACK OF OTHERS AND WORK ROLE PERFORMANCE, IN ADDITION TO A PARTIAL MEDIATION IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE AUTHENTIC LIVING AND PERFORMANCE. A SIGNIFICANT INTERACTION BETWEEN THE FEEDBACK AND THE AUTHENTIC LIVING WAS ALSO FOUND, AND THAT PERMITTED THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE GREATER EFFECT OF FEEDBACK ON PERFORMANCE OCCURS IN INDIVIDUALS WITH HIGH AUTHENTIC LIVING. LASTLY, A JOURNAL SURVEY OF 116 WORKERS FOUND THAT THE AMBIGUITY OF ROLES CONSTITUTED IN A SIGNIFICANT AND NEGATIVE PREDICTOR OF ENGAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE, WHILE THE PARTICIPATION IN DECISION-MAKING WAS CHARACTERIZED AS A POSITIVE PREDICTOR VARIABLE OF BOTH CONSTRUCTS. THE COMPLEXITY OF TASKS, IN TURN, PROVED TO BE A NEGATIVE PREDICTOR OF THE PERFORMANCE OF ROLES. IT CAN BE CONCLUDED, THAT ENGAGEMENT IS A MOTIVATIONAL CONSTRUCT INFLUENCED BY CONTEXTUAL AND PERSONAL VARIABLES, WHICH CAN ALSO ACT AS MODERATING VARIABLES, AFFECTING THE STRENGTH OF THEIR RELATIONSHIPS (INCREASING OR DECREASING THEM) WITH THE OUTCOMES OF WORK. WORK ENGAGEMENT ALSO HAS A DIRECT INFLUENCE ON WORK PERFORMANCE, BESIDES ACTING AS A MEDIATOR BETWEEN THE CONTEXTUAL AND PERSONAL VARIABLES AND SUCH RESULTS. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE DAY-TO-DAY OF ORGANIZATIONS ARE DISCUSSED AND SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH ON WORK ENGAGEMENT IN BRAZILIAN SAMPLES ARE PRESENTED.

ABSTRACT
THE TRAITS OF LEADERSHIP ARE CHARACTERIZED BY A COMBINATION OF PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS RELATED TO THE PERFORMANCE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE GROUPS INFLUENCE. THE GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO DEVELOP AN INSTRUMENT FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF THE LEADERSHIP CHARACTERISTICS WITHIN THE BRAZILIAN NAVY ENVIRONMENT. IN THE FIRST STUDY, THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED BY 368 BRAZILIAN NAVY MILITARY PERSONNEL (93,2% MALE) WITH HIGH SCHOOL OR HIGHER EDUCATION. EXPLORATORY FACTOR ANALYSES WERE PERFORMED IN ORDER TO VERIFY THE DIMENSIONALITY OF THE SCALE, BEING THE MOST APPROPRIATE SOLUTION OF A FACTOR. ALPHA COMBACH WAS 0,99, AND THE INITIAL SCALE WAS COMPOSED BY 52 ITEMS, BUT 17 ITEMS WERE EXCLUDED. THEN, THE FINAL VERSION CONSISTS IN 34 ITEMS. THE SCALE OF LEADERSHIP SHOWED POSITIVE CORRELATION TOWARDS THE TRAITS OF PERSONALITY AND WITH THE TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP. HOWEVER, THE SCALE SHOWED ONLY ONE DIMENSION WHAT CONTRADICTS THE THEORY OF TRAITS OF LEADERSHIP. IN THE SECOND STUDY, ANCHOR VIGNETTES WERE USED IN ORDER TO EVALUATE AND CONTROL THE EFFECT OF ACQUIESCENCE IN THE ANSWERS. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED BY 747 MILITARY PERSONNEL FROM TWO BRAZILIAN NAVY MILITARY UNITS. THE EXPLORATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS WAS PERFORMED BASED ON TWO DIFFERENT METHODS OF EXTRACTION (PARALLEL ANALYSIS AND HULL). THE RESULTS DEMONSTRATED THE EXISTENCE OF ONLY ONE FACTOR. AFTER HAVING DECIDED TO EXTRACT ONLY ONE DIMENSION, THE ITEMS WERE ASSESSED BY MEANS OF THE EXPLORATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS AND THE FACTOR LOADINGS RANGED BETWEEN 0,601 TO 0,870. ULTIMATELY, IT HAS ALSO BEEN CONSIDERED THE INSTRUMENT STRUCTURE BY MEANS OF THE CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS (CFA). THE COLLECTED RESULTS EVINCE THAT THE ONE FACTOR STRUCTURE SHOWED ACCEPTABLE GOODNESS OF FIT INDICES (Χ2 = 4668,82 (522); RMSEA = 0,10; CFI = 0,96; TLI = 0,96), EXCEPT FOR THE RMSEA. FURTHERMORE, THE FACTOR LOADINGS RANGED FROM 0,66 TO 0,90. SUCH OUTCOMES ALSO GIVE SUPPORT TO THE ONE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE. FROM THENCE, IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT IT WILL BE INTERESTING IF FURTHER STUDIES CARRY OUT THE (EXPLORATORY AND CONFIRMATORY) FACTOR ANALYSES IN MORE COMPREHENSIVE SAMPLES AS WELL AS A REVIEW OF THE THEORY FOR THE VALIDATION OF THE INSTRUMENT PROVIDED HERE. TO SUM UP, WE CONCLUDE THAT ALTHOUGH THE SCALE DOES NOT SHOW EVIDENCES OF VALIDITY, THIS STUDY HAS CONTRIBUTED TO A VERY IMPORTANT RESEARCH WITHIN THE MILITARY CONTEXT, SINCE THERE ARE SCARCE STUDIES THAT ARE LONGING TO PRODUCE AN INSTRUMENT WITH THE AIM OF ASSESSING THE LEADERSHIP FROM THESE IMPORTANT PROFESSIONALS. THIS MASTER ́S THESIS MAY SUIT AS THE FIRST STEP TO DEEPEN THE RESEARCHES IN THIS FIELD IN OTHER MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS.

ABSTRACT
THE PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCE CODEPENDENT IS, TOO OFTEN, NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY THE DEPENDENT PATHOLOGY. SICK, SUFFER AND OFTEN DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THE ADDICT. NEED ADEQUATE SOCIAL SUPPORT TO HELP YOU TO BEHAVE IN FRONT OF THE DIFFICULTIES OF THE DISEASE AND TO TAKE THE DEPENDENT RESPONSIBLY, YOU NEED TO ACQUIRE EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS SO YOU CAN HAVE A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE. THUS, THIS STUDY AIMED TO VERIFY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS, SOCIAL SUPPORT AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF ADDICTS OF PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF 80 PARTICIPANTS CODEPENDENT, BETWEEN 23-72 YEARS, AND 40 ASSISTED BY SOCIAL SUPPORT AL -ANON AND 40 UNASSISTED BY ANY KIND OF SUPPORT. THEY USED THE SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY EDUCATION -PARENT (IHSE - PARENTS), THE SOCIAL SUPPORT SCALE (EPSS) AND THE INSTRUMENT FOR ASSESSMENT QUALITY OF THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION OF LIFE - WHO (WHOQOL -100). THE RESULTS PRIMARILY IDENTIFIED RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SOCIAL SUPPORT AND QUALITY OF LIFE. THE CONSTRUCTS IN GENERAL RELATE AND SOCIAL SUPPORT AND EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS PREDICT 62 % OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE. THE CODEPENDENTS ASSISTED BY AL -ANON SHOWED HIGHER PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT AND QUALITY OF LIFE.

ABSTRACT
THE PRESENT RESEARCH HAD AS OBJECTIVE TO VERIFY THE OCCURRENCE OF THE BURNOUT SYNDROME IN A SAMPLE OF PRESENCIAL HIGHER EDUCATION TEACHERS. PARTICIPATED IN THIS STUDY 1.265 UNIVERSITY TEACHERS OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS IN BRAZIL, OF BOTH SEXES, WITH AGES BETWEEN 25 AND 80 YEARS, WHO RESPONDED TO THE INVENTORY MASLACH BURNOUT (MBI) AND A SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC SURVEY. THE RESULTS SHOWED BURNOUT OCCURRENCE IN 12% OF THE SAMPLE. THE DIMENSIONS OF BURNOUT WERE THE DEPENDENT VARIABLES (EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION, DEPERSONALIZATION, PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL EFFICIENCY) OF THE MULTIVARIATE LINEAR REGRESSION MODEL, WHICH HAD AS INDEPENDENT VARIABLES THE SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES RELATING TO THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SUBJECT, PROFILE TEACHING AND PROFESSIONAL PROFILE. THE STUDY SHOWED THAT, DESPITE STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT RESULTS, PREDICTIVE VALUE AND INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTION OF SOME SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES, IT WAS VERIFIED LOW EXPLANATION FOR THE TOTAL VARIANCE.

ABSTRACT
FOOTBALL IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR SPORTS IN THE WORLD. IN BRAZIL THERE IS A STRONG LINK BETWEEN SOCCER AND NATIONAL IDENTITY. WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF RAPID SOCIAL RISE, WAGES MILLIONAIRES AND PRESTIGE OF CAREER PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYER TO BE TARGETED BOTH OF LOWER SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CLASS AS MIDDLE CLASS. THE FORMATION OF THE PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYER, HOWEVER, IS A LONG PROCESS WITH MANY BARRIERS TO BE OVERCOME. THIS STUDY INVESTIGATED THE PERCEPTION OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS OF THE UNDER-20 CATEGORIES ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A FOOTBALL PLAYER AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY FROM SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE FROM INSERTION IN THE CATEGORIES OF TRAINING TOWARDS PROFESSIONALISM.FOR BOTH A QUALITATIVE RESEARCH WITH SOCCER PLAYERS OF THE CATEGORY UNDER-20 20 FOOTBALL SERIE A CLUBS. TWELVE SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS WERE CARRIED OUT, AND SIX SUBJECTS OF EACH CLUB. DATA WERE ANALYZED FROM THE BENCHMARK OF CONTENT ANALYSIS. THE DATA FROM THIS STUDY REVEALED THAT THE FORMATION OF PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY IS DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE PERSONAL AND FAMILY HISTORY, AS WELL AS THE CLUBÍSTICA CULTURE, MEDIA HARASSMENT AND TWISTED, AS WELL AS THE SUBJECTIVE FINANCIAL AND MATERIAL GAINS PROVIDED BY SPORTS.

ABSTRACT
THIS RESEARCH INVESTIGATE THE EVALUATION OF SOME FAMILIES REGARDING THE RESULTS IN THE SCHOOL LIFE OF THEIR CHILDREN [OF SPECIAL EDUCATION POLICIES IMPLEMENTED IN THE CITY OF SÃO GONÇALO / RJ FROM 2009]. CONSIDERING THE OBJECT OF THE RESEARCH WAS PERFORM A QUALITATIVE RESEARCH MODEL THROUGH A FIELD STUDY IN THIS CITY. USED AS A TOOL FOR DATA COLLECTION A SEMI -STRUCTURED INTERVIEW. IN THE SCRIPT OF INTERVIEWS INCLUDED QUESTIONS THAT SOUGHT TO VERIFY THE PERSPECTIVES OF THOSE MOTHERS, IF THE OFFERED SERVICES HAD RESULTS IN THE SCHOOL LIFE OF THEIR CHILDREN, AS WELL AS A QUESTION TO SEE IF THESE SERVICES BENEFITED THE LIFE OF THE STUDENT OUT OF SCHOOL, SINCE WE CONSIDER THE OBJECTIVE FORMAL EDUCATION IS TO PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT. IN ORDER TO CHECK THE CONSISTENCY OF THE ANSWERS GIVEN, ALSO WONDERED WHAT THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE FAMILIES ABOUT THE SCHOOL AND IF THE SCHOOL RESPONDED TO THESE EXPECTATIONS. IN ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE SEEK TO UNDERSTAND THE VISION OF THE MOTHERS INTERVIEWED ABOUT WHAT IS TO BE A DISABLED PERSON, WHICH IS TO BE A PERSON WITH PERVASIVE DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDER AND IT IS TO BE A PERSON WITH HIGH ABILITY / GIFTEDNESS. THE PARTICIPANTS WERE 23 MOTHERS WHOSE CHILDREN HAVE DIFFERENT DIAGNOSES THAT CLASSIFY THE TARGET AUDIENCE OF SPECIAL EDUCATION. DATA WERE ANALYZED ACCORDING TO THE CATEGORICAL ANALYSIS METHOD BARDIN (2011) ALSO USING AS A REFERENCE THE THEORY OF SOCIAL RESTATEMENTS MOSCOVICI. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE ASSESSMENT OF MOST OF THE MOTHERS INTERVIEWED EVEN NOT UNIVERSALIZED AND EVIDENCE THEY NEED TO BETTER SERVE STUDENTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES, THE OFFERED SERVICES COLLABORATE FOR SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR CHILDREN. WITH REGARD TO THE RESULTS OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT, THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT, UNANIMOUSLY, MOTHERS OF STUDENTS WITH AUTISM AND PHYSICAL DISABILITIES SAID THAT THE SERVICES OFFERED BENEFITED THE LIFE OF THE STUDENT OUT OF SCHOOL. HOWEVER WITH THE MOTHERS OF STUDENTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES AND HIGH SKILLS, THERE WAS NO UNANIMITY IN THE RESPONSES. THUS, WITHOUT DISREGARDING THE IMPORTANT CRITICISMS OF FAMILIES ABOUT SOME ASPECTS OF THE OFFERED SERVICES, WE EMPHASIZE THE MERIT OF SUCH SERVICES THAT AIM TO IMPLEMENT THE GUIDELINES OF PNEE / 2008, BECAUSE THIS MERIT BECAME NOTICEABLE IN MOST SPEECHES. THIS RESEARCH HAS GAPS, SUCH A FAILURE TO REALIZE THAT INTERNAL SYSTEM MECHANISMS AND SCHOOLS DID NOT COOPERATE SO THAT THE SERVICES OFFERED WERE UNIVERSALIZED QUALITY IN THE EDUCATION SYSTEM, AND THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF ENSURING PARTICIPATION OF STUDENTS FAMILIES WITH DIFFERENT DISABILITIES OF WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. HOWEVER, WE EMPHASIZE THAT IT REACHED THE PROPOSED OBJECTIVES ENABLING FROM THE VOICES OF THE VOICES OF THE FAMILIES INTERVIEWED EVALUATE THE IMPLANTED INCLUSIVE POLICY AND THUS HELP TO PROMOTE REFLECTIONS NECESSARY TO STRENGTHEN THE POLICY SO THAT IT CAN FURTHER CONTRIBUTE TO BUILDING AN EDUCATION THAT GUARANTEES EVERYONE THE RIGHT TO ACCESS, RETENTION AND LEARNING IN SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTS.

ABSTRACT
ALONG WITH THE BRAZILIAN STANDARDIZATION AND PUBLICATION OF THE NEW VERSION OF THE WECHSLER INTELLIGENCE SCALE FOR CHILDREN, WISC-IV, 4TH EDITION, VALIDITY EVIDENCE STUDIES ARE NEEDED TO VERIFY THAT THE WISC-IV CAN MAKE VALID ESTIMATES ON THE INTELLECTUAL ABILITIES OF CHILDREN FROM CLINICAL GROUPS. THE TOTAL SAMPLE OF 282 PARTICIPANTS WAS BY CONVENIENCE, USING THE METHOD OF ¿SNOW BALL¿, WITH FEEDBACK, INDICATED BY A TEACHING TEAM OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS. THE GROUPS WERE DIVIDED TO MEET THE OBJECTIVES OF THE ARTICLES. THIS THESIS HAS AS GENERAL OBJECTIVE TO SEEK EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY FOR WISC-IV WITH SPECIAL GROUPS. IT IS COMPOSED OF FOUR EMPIRICAL STUDIES. THE FIRST STUDY AIMED TO VERIFY THE PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCES IN THE WISC-IV BETWEEN THE GIFTED AND CONTROL GROUPS. THE INSTRUMENTS USED: WECHSLER INTELLIGENCE SCALE (WISC-IV) AND SCALE FEATURES BEHAVIORAL STUDENTS HIGHER SKILLS - REVISED (SCRBSS-R) TEACHERS¿ VERSION, LEARNING ITEMS, CREATIVITY, MOTIVATION AND COMMUNICATION-PRECISION. 68 CHILDREN FROM 6 TO 16 YEARS AND 11 MONTHS PARTICIPATED IN THIS RESEARCH; 26 FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS, 42 PRIVATE SCHOOLS; 30 FEMALE AND 38 MALE. GROUP (GIFTED) OF 31 CHILDREN WITH INDICATIVE GIFTEDNESS (SCRBSS-R) AND GROUP CONTROL OF 37 CHILDREN NOT INDICATED (SCRBSS-R). ANALYSIS BY MEANS OF T-TEST OF STUDENT WITH STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT RESULTS BETWEEN THE GROUPS OF GIFTED AND CONTROL IN RELATION TO THE WISC-IV. THE SCORES IN THE FSIQ AND IN THE INDEXES FACTORIALS TO THE GROUP OF THE GIFTED WERE MUCH HIGHER THAN THOSE OF THE CONTROL GROUP. ALL OF THE EFFECT SIZES FOR THE DIFFERENCE IN THE AVERAGE SCORES OF THE FSIQ AND INDEXES FACTORIALS (VCI, PRI, WMI, PSI) WERE GREAT. THE RESULTS OF THIS STUDY CONFIRMED THE HYPOTHESIS THAT WISC-IV DISCRIMINATE CHILDREN WITH GIFTEDNESS, AS WELL AS THE (SCRBSS-R). THE RESULTS OF THIS STUDY CORROBORATED WITH THE AMERICAN SAMPLE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE WMI AND PSI THAT HAD A MODERATE EFFECT. THE SECOND STUDY AIMED TO VERIFY THE PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCES IN THE WISC-IV BETWEEN GROUPS DEFICIT DISORDER ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER (ADHD) AND CONTROL. THE INSTRUMENTS USED: WECHSLER INTELLIGENCE SCALE (WISC-IV) AND THE PROTOCOL FOR ADHD DIAGNOSIS, TEACHERS’ VERSION, PARENTS AND OBSERVER. A TOTAL OF 48 CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS 6-16 YEARS AND 11 MONTHS (ADHD GROUP WITH 26 PARTICIPANTS, INDICATED BY MEDICAL REPORT FROM THE DOCTOR AND BY THE PROTOCOL FOR A DIAGNOSTIC HYPOTHESIS OF ADHD, AND CONTROL GROUP CONTAINING 22 PARTICIPANTS WERE NOT APPOINTED BY THE PROTOCOL FOR ADHD DIAGNOSIS); 18 FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS, 30 PRIVATE SCHOOLS; 21 FEMALE AND 27 MALE. ANALYSIS THROUGH T-TEST WITH STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT RESULTS BETWEEN ADHD GROUP AND CONTROL GROUP IN RELATION TO THE WISC-IV IN FSIQ AND IN THE INDEXES FACTORIAL WMI AND PRI. THE RESULTS IN FSIQ, WMI, WITH THE SIZE EFFECT FOR THE MEAN DIFFERENCES, UNLIKE THE SMALL EFFECT SHOWN IN THE TWO GROUPS, COMPARED WITH THE AMERICAN SAMPLE. ON THE VCI THERE WERE NO STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ADHD GROUP AND THE CONTROL, WITH INSIGNIFICANT EFFECT, AND IN THE PSI MODERATE EFFECT, AND THESE TWO INDICES CORROBORATED WITH THE SAMPLE AMERICAN. AND IN PRI, LARGE EFFECT, DISTINGUISHING IT FROM SAMPLES OF FOREIGN PRESENTED INSIGNIFICANT EFFECT. THE THIRD STUDY AIMED TO VERIFY THE PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCES IN THE WISC-IV, AMONG SPECIAL GROUPS OF AUTISM, AUTISM WITH ASPERGER CRITERIA (DISORDER AUTISM SPECTRUM), INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY (INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT DISORDER) AND CONTROL. THE INSTRUMENT USED: WECHSLER INTELLIGENCE SCALE (WISC-IV). IT INCLUDED 126 CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS 6-16 YEARS AND 11 MONTHS, 54 OF PUBLIC SCHOOL 72 OF PRIVATE SCHOOL (57) AND 57 FEMALE 69 MALE, WITH MEDICAL REPORT: ASD (33) / ASPERGER (30) INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT DISORDER, (31) AND CONTROL GROUP (32). RESULTS SHOWED STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE FOR ANOVA AMONG THE FOUR GROUPS (CONTROL, AUTISM, ASPERGER AND INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES). IT IS SIGNIFICANT TO T TEST COMPARING THE GROUPS: CONTROL AND AUTISM; CONTROL AND ASPERGER; CONTROL AND INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES; AUTISM AND INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES IN RELATION TO THE WISC-IV. IN RESPECT OF THE GROUP ASPERGER AND CONTROL SHOWED SIGNIFICANT IN FSIQ, VCI, PRI, WMI, BEING THE SIZE OF LARGE EFFECT FOR THE DIFFERENCE IN MEANS FOR VCI AND MODERATE TO FSIQ, PRI, WMI, AND IN PSI THERE WERE NO STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES, BUT WE NOTICED A MODERATE EFFECT DIFFERENTIATING THE AMERICAN SAMPLE THAT RESULTED IN LARGE EFFECT. BETWEEN THE GROUPS OF AUTISTIC AND CONTROL; INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY AND CONTROL; AUTISM AND INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES RESULTING EFFECT LARGE, AND VERY LARGE FOR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AVERAGES OF THE GROUPS, AND CORROBORATING WITH RELATED STUDIES. THE RESULTS SHOWED US THE IMPORTANCE OF WECHSLER SCALE (WISC-IV) TO CONFIRM THAT SOMETHING IN THE ABILITIES OF THESE CHILDREN DOES NOT FOLLOW THE NORMAL PARAMETERS. THE FOURTH STUDY AIMED TO VERIFY THE PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCES IN THE WISC-IV, AMONG SPECIAL GROUPS "GIFTED" AND DOUBLE EXCEPTIONALITY "GIFTED WITH ASPERGER" AND CONTROL GROUP. THE INSTRUMENTS USED WERE: WECHSLER INTELLIGENCE SCALE (WISC-IV) AND SCALE FEATURES BEHAVIORAL STUDENTS HIGHER SKILLS - REVISED (SCRBSS-R) TEACHERS’ VERSION, LEARNING ITEMS, CREATIVITY, MOTIVATION AND COMMUNICATION-PRECISION. ONE HUNDRED-TWO CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS 6-16 YEARS AND 11 MONTHS PARTICIPATED, 38 STUDENTS FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS, 64 PRIVATE SCHOOLS; 44 FEMALE AND 58 MALE, (30) WITH MEDICAL REPORT ASPERGER'S DISORDER AND (71) INDICATED AS GIFTED BY SCALE (SCRBSS-R), THUS THE SAMPLE: GIFTED GROUP / ASPERGER WITH 30 PARTICIPANTS, GIFTED GROUP WITH 41 PARTICIPANTS AND CONTROL GROUP WITH 31 PARTICIPANTS. ANALYSIS WAS PERFORMED BY ANOVA WITH STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT AND T TEST WITH A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CONTROL GROUP AND GIFTED IN FSIQ AND FACTORIAL INDEXES RESULTS; CONTROL GROUP AND GIFTED WITH ASPERGER IN FSIQ AND FACTORIAL INDEXES AND GIFTED AND GIFTED GROUP WITH ASPERGER ONLY SIGNIFICANT FOR PROCESSING SPEED INDEX IN RELATION TO THE WISC-IV. IT WAS NOTED THAT A SIZE OF VERY LARGE EFFECT FOR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GROUP MEANS GIFTED AND CONTROL; GIFTED WITH ASPERGER'S AND CONTROL; AND SMALL EFFECT FOR FSIQ, VCI, PRI, AND WMI TO GROUP GIFTED AND GIFTED ASPERGER. IN PSI THESE GROUPS HAD MODERATE EFFECT CONFIRMING FOREIGN STUDIES. THE RESULTS ALSO SHOWED THAT THE WISC-IV WAS EFFECTIVE FOR DISCRIMINATING GIFTED, AS WELL AS THE (SCRBSS-R). THE SCALE WISC-IV HAS SHOWN THROUGH THIS STUDY, EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY FOR THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT, WITH ESTIMATES VALID ON THE INTELLECTUAL SKILLS WITH SPECIAL GROUPS OF GIFTED, ADHD, AUTISM SPECTRUM, INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES AND DUAL EXCEPTIONALITY “GIFTED WITH ASPERGER'S SYNDROME”. THE FOUR STUDIES HAVE ACHIEVED THE PROPOSED OBJECTIVES BUT THE LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY THE SIZE OF THE SAMPLE FOR CERTAIN ANALYSES SUGGEST THE NEED FOR FURTHER RESEARCH WITH EXTENDED SAMPLES AND ADDRESSING OTHER TYPES OF DISORDERS OR DISABILITIES.

ABSTRACT
THIS THESIS AIMS TO GATHER INITIAL VALIDITY EVIDENCE IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT FOR THE PASSION AT WORK SCALE AND INVESTIGATE THE DIRECT EFFECTS OF TWO CONTEXTUAL JOB RESOURCES (WORK-FAMILY ENRICHMENT AND WORK OVERLOAD) AND A PERSONAL RESOURCE (PASSION AT WORK) ON WELL-BEING AT WORK OF DOCTORS AS WELL AS EVALUATE THE MEDIATING ROLE OF PASSION FOR WORK IN THESE RELATIONSHIPS. FOR THIS PURPOSE, TWO STUDIES WERE CONDUCTED. THE FIRST INCLU DED A SAMPLE OF 504 WORKERS OF BOTH SEXES AND CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS SHOWED THAT THE BRAZILIAN VERSION OF THE PASSION AT WORK SHOWED GOOD PSYCHOMETRIC QUALITIES, HAVING BEEN COMPOSED OF TWO FACTORS (HARMONIOUS PASSION, OBSESSIVE PASSION), WITH 14 ITE MS IN TOTAL. THE PASSION HARMONIOUS DIMENSION SHOWED POSITIVE CORRELATIONS WITH ENGAGEMENT AT WORK, MENTAL HEALTH AND POSITIVES AFFECTS, AND NEGATIVE, WITH THE NEGATIVE S AFFECTS. THE PASSION OBSESSIVE DIMENSION CORRELATED POSITIVELY WITH ENGAGEMENT AT WORK, POSITIVES AFFECTS AND NEGATIVE AFFECT. THEY PARTICIPATED IN THE SECOND STUDY 284 DOCTORS, OF BOTH SEXES, AND STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING RESULTS INDICATED THAT WORK-FAMILY ENRICHMENT AND PASSION FOR POSITIVELY PREDICTED JOB TO SIGNIFICANT WELL-BEING AT WORK OF DOCTORS, WHILE THE WORKLOAD PREDICTED NEGATIVELY THE WELL-BEING AT WORK OF DOCTORS. IN ADDITION, THE PASSION FOR THE WORK PARTIALLY MEDIATED THE RELATIONSHIP OF WORK-FAMILY ENRICHMENT AND OVERLOAD WITH WELL-BEING AT WORK OF DOCTORS. THESE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED FROM THE DUALISTIC OF PASSION MODEL AND JOB DEMANDS-RESOURCES MODEL, WORK-FAMILY ENRICHMENT MODEL AND THE THEORY OF SOCIAL EXCHANGES, WHICH SUPPORTED THE RESEARCH. IN CLOSING REMARKS, SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE RELATED TO INTERVENTION STRATEGIES WITH POSSIBILITIES OF INCREASING THE WELFARE OF THIS CLASS OF WORKERS.

ABSTRACT
THE PRESENT STUDY HAD AS PURPOSE INVESTIGATING THE LEVEL OF TEXT COMPREHENSION OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. TO THE EXECUTION OF THIS STUDY, 161 STUDENTS HAVE PARTICIPATED OF THE PEDAGOGY AND SOCIAL SERVICE. THERE HAVE BEEN USED FOUR DEVICES: SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC SURVEY AND ACADEMIC RECORDS (CR), CLOZE TEST OF READING COMPREHENSION, EVALUATION SCALE OF MOTIVATION IN LEARNING ¿ EMAPRE-U AND PROGRESSIVE MATRICES OF GENERAL RAVEN - MPR. THE RESULTS HAVE EVIDENCED THAT THERE IS A CORRELATION STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICATIVE BETWEEN TEXT COMPREHENSION AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, THIS STUDY ALSO SHOWED US THAT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE ON THE COMPREHENSION LEVEL IN STUDENTS THAT HAVE ENTERED THROUGH QUOTA SYSTEM IN RELATION TO THE GROUPS THAT HAVE ENTERED WAS A LOW CORRELATION WITH SIGNIFICATIVE RESULTS BETWEEN THE VARIANTS GOAL PERFORMANCE-AVOIDANCE AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, WHILE TO THE PERFORMANCE-APPROACH AND LEARNING GOALS HAVE INDICATED THAT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE HAVE CORRELATED LOW, SIGNIFICATIVES AND NEGATIVES. IN SUMMARY, THESE RESEARCHING DATA SHOW THAT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS IS ASSOCIATED TO THEIR TEXTS COMPREHENSION. IT ALSO SHOW THAT STUDENTS THAT HAVE BETTER ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE USE LESS THE PERFORMANCE-AVOIDANCE GOAL IN ACTIVITIES THAT MIGHT FAIL CONCERNING THEIR MOTIVATION. ALTOGETHER, THESE RESULTS CORROBORATE THE ONES FOUND IN LITERATURE AND EXPAND THIS KNOWLEDGE TO A SAMPLE NEVER STUDIED ON THE CONDITIONS OF STUDENTS THAT HAVE ENTERED THROUGH THE QUOTA SYSTEM.

ABSTRACT
READING COMPREHENSION IS A COMPLEX SKILL INVOLVING A SERIES OF DIFFERENT PROCESSES. STUDIES HAVE BEEN MAKING SOME PROGRESS ON THE SUBJECT OF HOW READING COMPREHENSION RELATES TO WORD READING (WORD RECOGNITION), ORAL COMPREHENSION AND READING FLUENCY. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THIS DISSERTATION IS TO INVESTIGATE READING COMPREHENSION STEMMING FROM THE SIMPLE VIEW, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE READING FLUENCY COMPONENT IN RELATION TO READING COMPREHENSION. 5 STUDIES WERE CARRIED OUT WITH 2 DIFFERENT SAMPLES PERFORMED IN CONJUNCTION WITH CHILDREN STUDYING YEARS 2 AND 4 OF PRIMARY EDUCATION. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE ORAL COMPREHENSION AND WORD RECOGNITION (DECODING) INDEPENDENT VARIABLES CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS TEXT COMPREHENSION IN THE PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE, AND FURTHER THAT FLUENCY CONTRIBUTES TOWARDS READING COMPREHENSION INDEPENDENTLY FROM ORAL COMPREHENSION, AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT THE LATTER IMPROVES AS SCHOOLING PROGRESSES, WHICH ALSO APPLIES TO BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE. STUDIES HAVE REVEALED EVIDENCE THAT POINTS AT THE PERTINENCE OF THE SIMPLE VIEW TO EXPLAIN READING COMPREHENSION IN BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE.

ABSTRACT
URBANIZATION AND THE SUBSEQUENT AGING OF THE POPULATION FOR SOME TIME HAVE DRAWN THE ATTENTION OF SCHOLARS IN AREAS SUCH AS GEOGRAPHY, STATISTICS AND ECONOMICS. IN PSYCHOLOGY, STUDIES FOCUSED ON THAT AREA ARE STARTING, STILL RARE THOSE WHO ANALYZE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ELDERLY RESIDENTS OF URBAN AND RURAL AREAS. WE ADD TO THESE TRANSITIONS, THE ISSUE OF RETIREMENT, WHICH RUNS PARALLEL TO A STAGE OF PHYSICAL, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL AND THEREFORE REQUIRES SPECIAL ATTENTION OF EXPERTS SEEKING TO ENSURE THE WELL-BEING OF THE POPULATION. THUS, THIS STUDY EXAMINED THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE LEVELS OF HAPPINESS, AND THE RESOURCES THAT ALLOWS OR ENCOURAGES US RETIREES, RESIDENTS OF URBAN AND RURAL AREAS, THE STATE OF MINAS GERAIS, FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY. HAPPINESS MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENTS WERE USED, SOCIAL SUPPORT AND ACTIVITIES IN RETIREMENT INVESTED IN 279 RETIREES LIVING IN MINAS GERAIS, AN INTERIOR CITY (OPEN FIELD) AND CAPITAL (BELO HORIZONTE). THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT SOCIAL SUPPORT WAS THE BIGGEST PREDICTOR OF HAPPINESS IN BOTH REGIONS, AND IN RURAL AREAS PENSIONERS ARE MORE SOCIALLY SUPPORTED, WHILE THE URBAN AREAS THERE ARE MORE DIVERSIFIED ACTIVITIES. IN ALL SAMPLES ROUTINE ACTIVITIES INFLUENCE THE SUBJECTIVE HAPPINESS. FINALLY, ACTIONS ARE SUGGESTED AIMED AT RETIRED WELFARE IN COORDINATION WITH THE CITY WHERE HE LIVES AND STILL OTHER STUDIES THAT MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THESE ACTIONS ARE CARRIED OUT.

ABSTRACT
THE THEME OF SEXUALITY HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF DISCUSSIONS IN BRAZIL AND CONSIDERED AS A CROSS-CUTTING ISSUE TO BE WORKED ON BASIC EDUCATION. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH WAS TO EVALUATE THE HEALTH PROGRAM IN SCHOOLS ¿ PSE, JOINTLY DEVELOPED BY THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND EDUCATION. THE RESEARCH DESIGN WAS POST-FACTO, WITH COMPARISON OF FOUR STATE SCHOOLS OF THE PUBLIC NETWORK, TWO OF THEM WITH JOINING THE PROGRAM (EXPERIMENTAL GROUP) AND TWO WITHOUT ACCESSION (CONTROL GROUP). IN STUDY 1 WAS BUILT AND TESTED A RANGE OF ATTITUDES AND PSYCHO-METRIC PREVENTION OF SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES-STDS, WITH 48 ITEMS AND THAT AFTER JUDGES AND TESTING ANALYSIS OF FACTORIAL STRUCTURE RESULTED IN A MEASURE WITH 16 ITEMS AND THREE DIMENSIONS, NAMELY: TABOOS ABOUT SEXUALITY, PREGNANCY AND STD PREVENTION (5 ITEMS, ¿ = 0.78) ; SELF-CARE, SEXUAL HEALTH AND PREVENTION OF STD/AIDS (5 ITEMS, ¿ = 0.78) ; AND STEREOTYPES AND OLD BELIEFS ABOUT SEXUALITY AND HIV/AIDS (6 ITEMS, ¿ = 0.87). 2 STUDY WAS CONDUCTED FROM A SURVEY WITH 400 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS OF BOTH SEXES, AND OF INTERVIEWS WITH SIX PROGRAM MANAGERS, WHEREAS THE FEDERAL, STATE AND MUNICIPAL LEVELS IN THE AREAS OF EDUCATION AND HEALTH. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT, ALTHOUGH MANAGERS DEMONSTRATE GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROGRAM AND ITS OBJECTIVES, THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SAME LAPSE. STUDENTS DO NOT CONFIRM THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PLANNED ACTIVITIES IN SCHOOLS. IN LINE WITH THAT ASSESSMENT OF DISABILITY IN THE PROCESSES OF IMPLEMENTATION, IF NOT FOUND SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ANSWERS OF THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP AND THE CONTROL GROUP, WHERE TABOOS AND MISINFORMATION. THE FINDINGS OF THE RESEARCH ARE DISCUSSED IN THE LITERATURE OF THE AREA AND GAIN SOCIAL RELEVANCE WHEN IT OBSERVES AN INCREASE IN CASES OF HIV/AIDS ON YOUNG PEOPLE OF BRAZIL.

ABSTRACT
THE CHANGES IN GENDER RELATIONS AND THE CONFLICTS GENERATED AMONG COUPLES FOR FINANCIAL REASONS. THE OBJECTIVE WAS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE EFFECTS OF CURRENT CHANGES IN GENDER RELATIONS IN THE FINANCIAL LIFE OF HETEROSEXUAL COUPLES. IT FOCUSED MORE SPECIFICALLY ON IDENTIFYING THE CONFLICTS GENERATED IN LOWER MIDDLE-CLASS COUPLES, LIVING IN A COMMUNITY IN THE DISTRICT OF PENHA, RIO DE JANEIRO, AND WHAT MEASURES ARE BEING ADOPTED BY THESE COUPLES TO RESOLVE CONFLICTS. IN OUR THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK CONTEMPORARY CHANGES WERE ADDRESSED IN GENDER RELATIONS, THEY WERE TREATED TRADITIONALLY EXISTING HIERARCHICAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN, THE PURSUIT OF EQUALITY IN THESE RELATIONSHIPS WITH GREATER MALE PARTICIPATION IN DOMESTIC SPACE AND THE LARGEST WOMEN'S AUTONOMY IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT . NEXT, THE CONSEQUENCES WERE DISCUSSED CHANGES IN GENDER RELATIONS, INVOLVING MARRIAGE AND THE CONTEMPORARY FAMILY AND WHAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MALE AND FEMALE IN TODAY'S SOCIETY. FINALLY, CONFLICTS WERE ADDRESSED GENERATED BETWEEN COUPLES BY FINANCIAL ISSUES, INCLUDING THE CONTROL OF CONSUMPTION, THE DIFFERENCE IN FAMILY PATTERNS IN THE USE OF MONEY, FINANCIAL PLANNING AND DIALOGUE AS CONFLICT INHIBITORS. WE DEVELOP, THEN, ONE WITH 4 LOWER MIDDLE CLASS COUPLES FIELDWORK, LIVING IN A COMMUNITY IN THE DISTRICT OF PENHA, IN RIO DE JANEIRO WHERE WE USED A SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEW, WHICH WAS RECORDED AND TRANSCRIBED IN FULL AND SUBMITTED DATA A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS FROM CATEGORIES ESTABLISHED BASED ON OUR THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK AND SPEECH OF OUR RESPONDENTS. THE RESULTS POINTED TO THE FACT THAT WOMEN'S ENTRY INTO THE LABOR MARKET IN THE CONTEXT RESEARCHED, IT IS MORE A MATTER OF NECESSITY AND NOT JUST A SOCIAL ACHIEVEMENT BY WOMEN. HOWEVER, THIS LED WOMEN TO HAVE A VOICE IN THE HOUSE IN RELATION TO THE USE OF MONEY. THE MONEY HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE GREATEST MISUNDERSTANDINGS IN THE RELATIONSHIP OF CAUSE AND THE LACK OR MISUSE IT IS A SOURCE OF CONSTANT ARGUMENTS AND FIGHTS. ALCOHOLISM WAS ALSO AS A FACTOR OF CONFLICT AND MISUSE OF MONEY MARRIAGE IS UNDERSTOOD BY THEM AS THE EMBODIMENT OF THE LOVE THEY FEEL FOR EACH OTHER, AND HAVE SOMEONE TO SHARE LIFE AND SUPPORT THE FAMILY. THE DIALOGUE AND THE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH SPOUSE IN THE USE OF MONEY HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A SOLUTION TO LIVE A HEALTHIER LIFE TOGETHER.

ABSTRACT
SOCIAL SKILLS AND THE SOCIAL SUPPORT APPRAISALS FROM FAMILY, FRIENDS AND TEACHERS CAN HELP STUDENTS DEAL WITH THE CHALLENGES FACING THE END OF PRIMARY EDUCATION, PROMOTING THEIR SOCIO-EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT . FROM THE BIOECOLOGICAL THEORY OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, THIS STUDY AIMED TO: (1) COMPARE THE SOCIAL SKILLS AND THE SOCIAL SUPPORT APPRAISALS OF STUDENTS IN 8TH AND 9TH GRADE OF MIDDLE SCHOOL WITH LOW AND HIGH ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT ; (2) COMPARE THE SOCIAL SKILLS AND THE SOCIAL SUPPORT APPRAISALS OF 8TH GRADERS WITH LOW AND HIGH ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT ; (3) COMPARE THE SOCIAL SKILLS AND THE SOCIAL SUPPORT APPRAISALS OF 9TH GRADERS WITH LOW AND HIGH ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT ; (4) INVESTIGATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL SKILLS, SOCIAL SUPPORT APPRAISALS, SCHOOL FAILURE, EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS OF TEACHERS, QUALITY OF TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIP AND THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF STUDENTS OF THE 8TH AND 9TH GRADES OF MIDDLE SCHOOL ; (5) INVESTIGATE WHETHER SOCIAL SKILLS, SOCIAL SUPPORT APPRAISALS, SCHOOL FAILURE OF STUDENTS, EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS OF TEACHERS AND QUALITY OF TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIP ARE PREDICTORS OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF STUDENTS OF THE 8TH AND 9TH GRADE OF MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE STUDY INCLUDED 318 CHILDREN ATTENDING THE 8TH AND THE 9TH GRADE OF MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND 21 TEACHERS WHO TAUGHT FOR THESE STUDENTS FROM THREE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. STUDENTS WERE DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS: THOSE WITH LOW ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT (LAA) AND HIGH ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT (HAA). STUDENTS ANSWERED THE SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY FOR ADOLESCENTS, THE SOCIAL SUPPORT APPRAISALS SCALE AND A QUESTIONNAIRE WITH DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS. TEACHERS ANSWERED THE SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY EDUCATION - TEACHER VERSION. STATISTICAL ANALYZES PERFORMED WERE: STUDENT'S T TEST; R PEARSON CORRELATION; MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION ANALYSIS. THE MAIN RESULTS WERE: (A) STUDENTS OF THE 8TH AND 9TH GRADE WITH LAA HAD FEWER SOCIAL SKILLS OF EMPATHY, SELF-CONTROL, CIVILITY, ASSERTIVENESS, SOCIAL RESOURCEFULNESS AND OVERALL SOCIAL SKILLS, AND PERCEIVED LESS SOCIAL SUPPORT FROM FAMILY, TEACHERS AND THE TOTAL PERCEPTION SCALE THAN STUDENTS OF THE 8TH AND 9TH GRADE WITH HAA; (B) STUDENTS OF THE 8TH YEAR WITH LAA HAD LESS SOCIAL SELF-CONTROL SKILLS, SOCIAL GRACES AND THE TOTAL OF THESE SOCIAL SKILLS THAN STUDENTS OF THE 8TH YEAR WITH HAA; (C) STUDENTS IN THE 9TH GRADE WITH LAA HAD LESS SOCIAL CIVILITY SKILLS, ASSERTIVENESS, SOCIAL GRACES AND THE TOTAL SOCIAL SKILLS, AND PERCEIVED LESS SOCIAL SUPPORT FROM FAMILY, TEACHERS AND THE TOTAL PERCEPTION SCALE THAN STUDENTS THE 9TH YEAR WITH HAA; (D) POSITIVE CORRELATIONS WERE FOUND BETWEEN THE SKILLS, SOCIAL SUPPORT OF STUDENTS, EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS OF TEACHERS, QUALITY OF TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIP AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT; (E) THE VARIABLES SCHOOL FAILURE, TOTAL SOCIAL SKILLS AND THE SOCIAL SUPPORT FROM TEACHER SIGNIFICANTLY PREDICTED ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF STUDENTS IN THE 8TH AND 9TH GRADE. THESE VARIABLES CONTRIBUTED TO EXPLAIN 22% OF THE VARIANCE OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, AND THE SCHOOL FAILURE WAS THE VARIABLE WITH THE GREATEST PREDICTIVE POWER. THE SURVEY DATA SHOWED THAT THE RESOURCES OF STUDENTS AND CONTEXTUAL VARIABLES ARE RELATED TO ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF STUDENTS AT AN IMPORTANT TIME OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, THAT IS, THE LAST TWO YEARS OF MIDDLE SCHOOL. WITH THE INFORMATION OBTAINED IN THE STUDY WILL BE POSSIBLE TO PROPOSE INTERVENTION PROGRAMS WITH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TO PROMOTE ACADEMIC SKILLS AND SOCIAL SKILLS IN THE FINAL YEARS OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

ABSTRACT
THE TD&E ASSESSMENT SUBSYSTEM HAS BEEN RECEIVING SCHOLARLY ATTENTION WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF METHODOLOGIES THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO CONDUCT SUMMATIVE AND INTEGRATED PROCESS ASSESSMENTS OF TRAINING ACTIONS. SEVERAL STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT THE RESULTS OF THESE ACTIONS ARE INFLUENCED BY FACTORS PERTAINING TO THE TRAINING ITSELF, TO THE CONTEXT, AND TO THE TRAINEES. THE PRESENT STUDY AIMED TO EVALUATE THE BASIC PROGRAM IN ONCOLOGY FOR NURSE TECHNICIANS, USING THE MODEL OF INTEGRATED AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT (MAIS) AS A THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL REFERENCE, AND TO TEST AN UNPRECEDENTED EMPIRICAL MODEL THAT CONSIDERED THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL AT WORK AND THE LEARNING SUPPORT VARIABLES AS PREDICTORS OF THE IMPACT OF TRAINING ON WORK, WITH THE JOB SATISFACTION VARIABLE BEING A MEDIATOR OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL AT WORK AND THE IMPACT OF TRAINING. THE RESEARCH EMPLOYED A MIXED METHOD. THE FIRST STUDY HAD A QUALITATIVE CHARACTER WITH 18 PARTICIPANTS, INCLUDING TRAINED NURSE TECHNICIANS, THEIR IMMEDIATE SUPERVISORS, INSTRUCTORS AND COORDINATORS OF THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM UNDER EVALUATION. THE SECOND STUDY WAS QUANTITATIVE AND INCLUDED A SAMPLE OF 169 PARTICIPANTS FROM THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE (INCA) [BRAZIL]. THE QUALITATIVE RESEARCH DATA WERE COLLECTED USING INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS. ALL OF THE QUANTITATIVE DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENTS HAD BEEN USED IN OTHER STUDIES IN WHICH EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY WAS PRESENTED. THE RESULTS WERE OBTAINED THROUGH CATEGORICAL CONTENT ANALYSIS AND STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING. THE DATA SHOWED THAT THE TRAINING OFFERED A POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION TO THE TRAINEES AND TO THE ORGANIZATION, BUT IMPORTANT ASPECTS NEED TO BE REFORMULATED IN FUTURE PROGRAMS. PARTIALLY WERE CONFIRMED THE INITIALLY HYPOTHESES FORMULATED, NAMELY: (1) PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL AT WORK IS PREDICTOR OF JOB SATISFACTION, HOWEVER THE SELF-EFFICACY IS NEGATIVE PREDICTOR; (2) THE PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL AT WORK ALSO PREDICTS THE IMPACT OF TRAINING ON WORK, HOWEVER THE SELF-EFFICACY AND THE OPTIMISM NEGATIVE PREDICTIVE AND THE RESILIENCE AND THE HOPE POSITIVE PREDICTORS; (3) SUPPORT FOR LEARNING (THE LEADERSHIP AND COLLEAGUES) IS POSITIVE PREDICTOR OF IMPACT OF TRAINING ON THE JOB; AND (4) JOB SATISFACTION IS NOT MEDIATES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL AT WORK AND THE IMPACT OF TRAINING ON WORK, ALTHOUGH PREDICTOR OF THAT IMPACT. THE STUDY PRESENTS SOME GUIDELINES FOR RESEARCHERS AND PROFESSIONALS IN THIS AREA, AND REINFORCES THE IMPORTANCE OF FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE SUBJECT.

ABSTRACT
THIS DISSERTATION AIMED TO GATHER INITIAL EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT TO THE SCALE OF WORK-FAMILY ENRICHMENT AND MULTIDIMENSIONAL AND FOR MULTIDIMENSIONAL SCALE OF PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT, AS WELL AS INVESTIGATE THE DIRECT EFFECTS OF TWO CONTEXTUAL RESOURCES OF THE FAMILY (FAMILY-WORK ENRICHMENT AND PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT OF FAMILY) AND A PERSONAL RESOURCE (CORE SELF-EVALUATIONS) IN THE FLOURISHING AT WORK, AND THE ROLE OF THE MEDIATOR OF THE CORE SELF-EVALUATIONS IN RELATIONS BETWEEN THE CONTEXTUAL RESOURCES OF THE FAMILY AND THE FLOURISHING AT WORK. THREE STUDIES WERE ACHIEVED WITH DIFFERENT SAMPLING AND DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENTS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT: THE BRAZILIAN VERSION OF THE SCALE OF WORK-FAMILY ENRICHMENT PRESENTED GOOD PSYCHOMETRIC QUALITIES AND WAS COMPOSED OF TWO FACTORS, WITH FIVE ITEMS EACH ; THE BRAZILIAN VERSION OF THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL SCALE OF PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT ALSO PRESENTED GOOD PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES AND WAS COMPOSED OF THREE FACTORS, WITH FOUR ITEMS EACH ; THE FAMILY-WORK ENRICHMENT, PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT OF THE FAMILY AND CORE SELF-EVALUATIONS PREDICTED POSITIVE AND SIGNIFICANTLY THE FLOURISHING AT WORK; CORE SELF-EVALUATIONS MEDIATED PARTIALLY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORK-FAMILY ENRICHMENT AND THE FLOURISHING AT WORK AND TOTALITY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT OF THE FAMILY WITH THE FLOURISHING AT WORK. THESE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED FROM THE WORK-HOME RESOURCE MODEL, WHICH GAVE SUPPORT TO THE SURVEY. IN THE FINAL CONSIDERATIONS, ARE MADE SUGGESTIONS RELATED TO INTERVENTION STRATEGIES WITH POSSIBILITIES OF INCREASING THE FLOURISHING AT WORK.

ABSTRACT
THE GOAL OF THIS STUDY WAS TO BUILD AND ANALYZE THE PSYCHOMETRIC FEATURES OF THE INVENTÁRIO DE ESTILOS DE ENAMORAMENTO (IEE). THROUGH THE IDENTIFICATION OF 37 ITEMS, THE SCALE WAS DEPLOYED IN 370 PARTICIPANTS, 126 AND 244 SINGLE MALES AND FEMALES, RESPECTIVELY (M = 25,5 AND SD = 4,51) ALL WITH UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES CONCLUDED OR IN PROGRESS. FACTOR ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN COMPONENTS WITH OBLIQUE ROTATION IDENTIFIED TWO FACTORS WHICH REPRESENT THE INNER STRUCTURE OF THE INSTRUMENTS NAMED AS TWO FLIRTATION APPROACHES: THE SUBTLE APPROACH (SA) AND THE DIRECT APPROACH (DA). THE SA AND DA'S INTERNAL CONSISTENCY COEFFICIENTS WERE OF THE SA = 0,73 AND DA = 0,78 (CRONBACH¿S ALPHAS). IT WAS POSSIBLE TO NOTE A RELATION BETWEEN THE FPAI IS WITH THE INVENTÁRIO DE HABILIDADES SOCIAIS (HIS). THE SA HAS A WEAK POSITIVE CORRELATION WITH THE CONFRONTING AND SELF-ASSERTION WITH RISK, AND THE DA PRESENTED A WEAK NEGATIVE CORRELATION WITH HIS FACTORS CONVERSATION AND SOCIAL EASINESS, AND SELF-EXPOSURE TO STRANGERS AND NEW SITUATIONS. BASED ON THE PSYCHOMETRIC FEATURES, IT IS RECOMMENDED ITS USE ON CLINIC AND RESEARCH.

ABSTRACT
RETIREMENT DOES NOT ALWAYS REPRESENT THE FINAL EXIT FROM THE LABOR MARKET. THE WORK HAS BEEN TOUTED AS A SOURCE OF PLEASURE, SURVIVAL OR BOTH, AND EVEN IF IT IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS IN PEOPLE'S LIVES, FEW STUDIES HAVE INVESTIGATED ITS RELEVANCE IN RETIREMENT AND HOW SATISFACTION WITH IT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE SATISFACTION WITH THE LIFE. THEREFORE, THE PRESENT STUDY EVALUATED THE IMPORTANCE OF WORK IN THE LIVES OF 230 RETIREES WHO RETURNED TO THE LABOR MARKET IN SÃO GONÇALO / RJ. SATISFACTION MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENTS WERE USED WITH LIFE, WORK PERCEPTION AND REASONS FOR RETURNING TO WORK AFTER RETIREMENT. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE VARIABLES SATISFACTION WITH INCOME, PROFESSIONAL AND RELATIONAL PERCEPTION OF WORK AND INTRINSIC REASONS FOR RETURNING TO WORK EXPLAIN THE PROPOSED MODEL OF SATISFACTION WITH LIFE.

ABSTRACT
THE TRANSITION TO MIDDLE SCHOOL (MS) INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS AND ACADEMIC DEMANDS THAT CAN INFLUENCE THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS. THEN, THE 6TH YEAR OF THE MS IS CONFIGURED WITH AN IMPORTANT MOMENT THAT CAN LEAD TO A SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL CAREER OR INCREASE THE CHANCE OF, FOR EXAMPLE, STUDENTS PRESENT LEARNING DIFFICULTIES AND/OR BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS. THUS, THIS STUDY AIMED TO: (1) COMPARE SOCIAL SKILLS, STRESS SYMPTOMS, PERCEPTION OF SCHOOL STRESSORS AND SOCIAL SUPPORT OF THE STUDENTS OF THE 6TH YEAR OF THE MS, CLASSIFIED INTO THREE GROUPS (WITH HIGH ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT - HAA, WITH MIDDLE SCHOOL PERFORMANCE - MSP, AND LOW ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT -LAA) ; (2) TO ANALYZE THE ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN SOCIAL SKILLS, STRESS SYMPTOMS, PERCEPTION OF SCHOOL STRESSORS, SOCIAL SUPPORT OF STUDENTS, SCHOOL FAILURE, SOCIAL SKILLS OF PARENTS AND THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS ; (3) TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER SOCIAL SKILLS, STRESS SYMPTOMS, PERCEPTION OF SCHOOL STRESSORS, PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT OF STUDENTS, SCHOOL FAILURE AND PARENTAL SOCIAL SKILLS ARE PREDICTORS OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF STUDENTS. THE STUDY INCLUDED 214 STUDENTS (11,8 YEARS), BOTH SEXES WHO ATTENDED THE 6TH GRADE OF MS THREE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE STATE SYSTEM LOCATED IN HUMAITA - AM, AND THEIR PARENTS (MOTHER OR FATHER OR GUARDIAN BY THE STUDENT). STUDENTS ANSWERED SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY FOR ADOLESCENTS (SSIA-DEL-PRETTE), SCALE OF CHILD STRESS (SCS), INVENTORY OF SCHOOL STRESSORS (ISS) AND THE SOCIAL SUPPORT APPRAISAL SCALE (SSAS). PARENTS ANSWERED THE SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY EDUCATION (SSIE-DEL-PRETTE) AND THE QUESTIONNAIRE WITH DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS. STATISTICAL ANALYZES WERE PERFORMED USING THE ANOVA, R PEARSON CORRELATION AND MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION. COMPARATIVE ANALYZES INDICATED THAT: (A) STUDENTS WITH LAA HAD FEWER SOCIAL SKILLS OF ASSERTIVENESS THAT STUDENTS WITH HAA; (B) STUDENTS WITH LAA HAD MORE SYMPTOMS OF CHILDHOOD STRESS RELATED TO DEPRESS REACTIONS THAT STUDENTS WITH HHA AND MSP AND THE TOTAL SCALE THAT STUDENTS WITH HHA; (C) STUDENTS WITH LAA EXPRESSED MORE SCHOOL STRESS STRESSORS RELATED TO THE STUDENT'S PAPER AND TOTAL INVENTORY THAT STUDENTS WITH MSP AND HAA; (D) STUDENTS WITH LAA PERCEIVED LESS SOCIAL SUPPORT FROM FAMILY STUDENTS WITH HAA AND MSP AND THE TOTAL SCALE THAT STUDENTS WITH HAA; (E) PARENTS OF STUDENTS WITH LAA HAD FEWER EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS TO TALK TO THE PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH HAA. SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE CORRELATIONS WERE FOUND BETWEEN SOCIAL SKILLS OF ASSERTIVENESS, PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT FROM FAMILY, FRIENDS AND TOTAL SCALE, EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS OF PARENTS TO CHAT AND SCHOOL PERFORMANCE. SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE ASSOCIATIONS WERE FOUND BETWEEN SOCIAL SKILLS AFFECTIVE APPROACH, DEPRESS REACTIONS, TOTAL SCALE OF CHILDHOOD STRESS, STRESS RELATED TO STUDENT PAPER, THE TOTAL INVENTORY OF SCHOOL STRESSORS AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. THE PREDICTIVE MODEL TESTED SHOWED THAT THE VARIABLES SCHOOL FAILURE AND TOTAL SCHOOL STRESSORS PREDICTED THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF STUDENTS IN THE 6TH GRADE OF MS, CONTRIBUTING TO EXPLAIN 10% OF PERFORMANCE VARIANCE. WITH THIS RESEARCH WAS TO UNDERSTAND HOW VARIABLES OF THE STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILY AND SCHOOL CONTEXTS MAY INFLUENCE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT DURING THE TRANSITION TO THE 6TH YEAR OF THE MS. THIS INFORMATION MAY BE USED IN INTERVENTION PROGRAMS WITH STUDENTS, PARENTS AND TEACHERS.

ABSTRACT
THIS DISSERTATION AIMS AT GATHERING INITIAL VALIDITY EVIDENCE ON THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT FOR THE PRO-SOCIAL RULE BREAKING BEHAVIOR SCALE (PSRBS), AS WELL AS INVESTIGATING THE PREDICTIVE POWER OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT AND CORE SELF-EVALUATIONS ON THIS BEHAVIOR. TWO STUDIES WITH DIFFERENT SAMPLES AND INSTRUMENTS WERE CARRIED OUT. THE RESULTS HAVE SHOWED THAT: (1) THE BRAZILIAN PRO-SOCIAL RULE BREAKING BEHAVIOR SCALE PRESENTED GOOD PSYCHOMETRIC QUALITIES AND REPRODUCED IN FULL THE ORIGINAL VERSION STRUCTURE, BEING COMPOSED BY 13 ITEMS DISTRIBUTED IN THREE FACTORS: EFFICIENCY, CLIENTS AND COLLEAGUES. (2) THE ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT AND CORE SELF-EVALUATIONS HAVE NOT TURNED INTO SIGNIFICANT PREDICTORS OF THE PRO-SOCIAL RULE BREAKING BEHAVIOR. RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED IN REFERENCE TO THE POSITIVE DEVIANT BEHAVIOR MODEL WHICH HAS SUPPORTED THE RESEARCH. IN THE CONCLUSION SOME FUTURE STUDIES THAT CAN DEEPENING THE COMPREHENSION OF THE NOMOLOGICAL NETWORK OF PRO-SOCIAL RULE BREAKING BEHAVIOR ARE SUGGESTED.

ABSTRACT
THIS WORK IS FOCUSED ON IDENTIFYING AND PRESENTING THE EFFECTS OF ALIENATION AND THAT ANYONE CAN BE AN ALIENATING, REGARDLESS OF SEX AND RELATIONSHIP AND THAT THE SALE DOES NOT ONLY OCCUR IN COUPLES WHO ARE GOING THROUGH A BITTER DIVORCE PROCESS ALSO OCCURS THE SEPARATION BY DEATH OF A SPOUSE AND DIVORCE WHERE THERE WAS NO DISPUTE. THE ALIENATING FIGURE USES ITS INFLUENCE IN THE CHOICE OF REMOVAL AND DESTRUCTION OF OFFSPRING AFFECTION IN RELATION TO THE ALIENATED SPOUSE, AND THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE CHILD WITH GRANDPARENTS, UNCLES AND AUNTS OF THE CHILD DUE TO THE DEATH OF ONE SPOUSE, LEAVING IT CLEAR THAT ALIENATING OR SELL CAN BE ANYONE. TO ACHIEVE THE PROPOSED GOALS MADE USE OF INDIVIDUAL SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS WITH PEOPLE WHO WERE SOLD. DATA FROM FULL TRANSCRIPT OF THE INTERVIEWS WERE SUBMITTED TO DISCOURSE ANALYSIS, FROM THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES ESTABLISHED BY US ON THE BASIS OF OWN INTERVIEWS DATA: LITTLE MALE PARTICIPATION IN HOUSEHOLD CHORES AND CHILD CARE ; DIFFICULTIES IN SOME CASES DIALOG. AMONG THE MOST SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS STAND OUT: IT SEEMS THAT, FROM THE REPORTS WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT FEW OF ALIENATING SHOW THEIR REAL CHARACTER DURING THE MARRIAGE, LEAVING SOME CLUES THAT SUGGEST A DIFFERENT BEHAVIOR, CONCLUDE THAT THERE IS STILL A JUDICIARY PREPARED TO DEAL WITH THE MATTER. IT IS NECESSARY, THEREFORE, TO DEVELOP MORE PUBLIC POLICIES AND SOCIAL ACTIONS THAT CAN ACTUALLY ENSURE EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES AND PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENT CONDITIONS AND A GREATER KNOWLEDGE AND INSIGHT INTO THE PARENTAL ALIENATION FOR THIS EVIL THAT AFFECTS OUR SOCIETY.

ABSTRACT
THE PRESENT DISSERTATION AIMED TO GATHER INITIAL EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY AT WORK SCALE (WAAQ) IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT AND TO IDENTIFY THE DIRECT EFFECTS OF A LABOR DEMAND (WORKLOAD) AND THREE FEATURES WORK (SOCIAL SUPPORT, AUTONOMY AND CLARITY OF ROLES) ON WELL-BEING AT WORK, AND THE MODERATING ROLE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY IN SUCH RELATIONSHIPS. TWO STUDIES WITH DIFFERENT SAMPLES AND DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENTS WERE PERFORMED. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT: THE VERSION OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY AT WORK SCALE SHOWED GOOD PSYCHOMETRIC QUALITIES, FULLY REPRODUCING THE FACTOR STRUCTURE OF THE ORIGINAL INSTRUMENT, HAVING BEEN COMPOSED BY THE SAME SEVEN ITEMS ; THE NEGATIVE PREDICTED WORKLOAD SIGNIFICANTLY AND WELL-BEING AT WORK ; THE SOCIAL SUPPORT AT WORK AND SIGNIFICANTLY PREDICTED POSITIVE WELL-BEING AT WORK ; CLARITY OF ROLES PREDICTED POSITIVELY AND SIGNIFICANTLY THE WELL-BEING AT WORK ; PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY IN WORKING MODERATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL SUPPORT AND WELL-BEING AT WORK; PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY IN WORKING MODERATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CLARITY OF ROLES AND WELL-BEING AT WORK; PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY AT WORK PARTIALLY MODERATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORKLOAD AND WELL-BEING AT WORK. THESE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED FROM THE MODEL DEMANDS AND RESOURCES WORK (JD-R), WHICH SUPPORTED THE RESEARCH. IN CLOSING REMARKS, SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE RELATED TO INTERVENTION STRATEGIES WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF INCREASING THE WELL-BEING AT WORK.

ABSTRACT
THE PRESENT STUDY AIMS TO INVESTIGAE THE LITERACY TEACHERS¿ KNOWLEDGE LEVELS OF PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS AND IF THIS KNOWLEDGE AFFECTS THEIR PRACTICE. ONE HUNDRED AND ONE (101) LITERACY TEACHERS PARTICIPATED IN THE SURVEY. AMONG THESE, SIXTY FIVE (65) SAID THEY HAD TRAINING IN THE PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS AREA. ALL OF THEM ANSWERED A QUESTIONNAIRE WHICH AIMED TO IDENTIFY IF TEACHERS RECOGNIZE PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS ACTIVITIES AND IF THEY CONSIDER IT IMPORTANT FOR THEIR PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE. AT THE END OF THE SURVEY, TEACHERS WERE ASKED TO IDENTIFY FIVE ACTIVITIES ACCORDING TO THEIR NATURE (WHETHER DEVELOPING PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS). THE RESULTS HAVE SHOWN THAT THE TRAINING DID NOT HELP TEACHERS TO ANSWER CONCEPTUAL QUESTIONS ON THE SUBJECT PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS. HOWEVER, TEACHERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE COURSES WERE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE AND PERFORM MORE OF SUCH ACTIVITIES. THE COURSES SEEM TO HAVE SOME EFFECTS ON THE TEACHING PRACTICE, ALTHOUGH THEY STILL SEEM TO BE INSUFFICIENT TO PROVIDE THEORETICAL SUPPORT FOR THE TEACHING ACTIVITY.

ABSTRACT
THE ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION IN BRAZIL HAS BEEN INCREASING MORE AND MORE DUE TO PLANS CREATED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND ALSO NEW VACANCIES IN PRIVATE EDUCATION TO SERVE THE POPULATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE AGED BETWEEN 18 AND 24, WHO SEEKS TO JOIN THE UNIVERSITIES. THIS QUEST FOR HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS HAS BEEN GOING ON EVER GREATER NUMBER AND MORE DIVERSE AMONG STUDENTS WHO COMPLETE HIGH SCHOOL. HOWEVER, THIS HETEROGENEITY IN NEW STUDENTS IS PRESENTED IN VARIOUS WAYS IN RELATION TO GENDER, RACE, AGE, GOALS, EXPECTATIONS, SOCIAL CLASS AND THEIRS ECONOMIC, PERSONAL AND VOCATIONAL STATE. SUCH FACTORS HAVE INFLUENCE IN THE ADAPTATION AND THE EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS THAT INTERFERES IN ITS SUCCESS AND CONTINUITY, OFTEN CAUSING THEM TO ABANDON THE COURSE. THEREFORE, THIS STUDY AIMED TO: IDENTIFY, RELATE AND COMPARE THE EXPECTATIONS AND ACADEMIC ADAPTATION OF BEGINNER S AND GRADUATING STUDENTS OF HIGHER EDUCATION, AND TO COMPARE THE ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS AND ADAPTATION OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS OF HEALTH CARE FIELD, HUMAN SCIENCES, APPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCES AND EXACT SCIENCES. THE STUDY INCLUDED 400 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS OF BOTH GENDERS, WITH 37.75% OF MEN AND 62.25% WOMEN, AGED BETWEEN 18 AND 59 YEARS (M = 25.07, SD = 6.46), PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS OF RIO DE JANEIRO STATE. THE PARTICIPANTS ANSWERED THE ACADEMIC INVOLVEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE VERSION A AND VERSION B, RELATING TO EXPECTATIONS AND BEHAVIORS AND THE ACADEMIC EXPERIENCES QUESTIONNAIRE (QVA-R) REDUCED VERSION. STUDENTS WERE DIVIDED INTO FOUR GROUPS OF 100 PARTICIPANTS, 50 BEGINNER’S AND 50 GRADUATING STUDENTS RESPECTIVELY FOR HEALTH AREA, HUMAN SCIENCE, APPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCES AND EXACT SCIENCES. THE MAIN RESULTS OF THIS STUDY INDICATE THAT THE STUDENT’S ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS ARE PREDICTORS OF ACADEMIC ADAPTATION IN THE UNIVERSITY. BEGINNERS’ STUDENTS HAVE A SMALL DISCREPANCY ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS IN RELATION TO THE GRADUATING. IN THE ACADEMIC SCENARIO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE EXPECTATIONS INVOLVEMENT FACTORS PRESENTED SIGNIFICANT ASSOCIATIONS WITH THE DIMENSIONS OF ACADEMIC ADAPTATION IN UNIVERSITY, THAT IS, IT IS VERIFIED THAT IT NECESSARY TO KNOW THE EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE INSTITUTIONS KNOW THEIR NEEDS, MAKE AVAILABLE AND IMPROVE THE SERVICES THEY OFFERED TO ASSIST IN THE PROCESS OF ADAPTATION TO THOSE WHO ARE JOINING THEM.

ABSTRACT
IN RECENT DECADES, WE SEE THE EMERGENCE OF NEW FAMILY ARRANGEMENTS AND CONSEQUENTLY PATERNITY IS BEING EXPERIENCED IN MANY WAYS, ONE OF WHICH THE SOCIO-AFFECTIVE PATERNITY, ONE IN WHICH A FATHER / STEPFATHER'S WHO CREATES, CARES FOR AND EDUCATES HER STEPCHILDREN. HENCE THE NEED TO DEVELOP MORE STUDIES ON THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE CONSTRUCTION OF SOCIO-AFFECTIVE PATERNITY, SEEKING TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW THIS PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTION OF FILIATÓRIO BOND. IT IS OUR GOAL WITH THIS STUDY PROVIDE FURTHER SUBSIDIES TO JURISPRUDENCE TO RECOGNIZE IN JUDICIAL CUSTODY DISPUTES INVOLVING BIOLOGICAL PATERNITY AND THE AFFECTIVE PATERNITY, THIS "NEW" FORM OF PATERNITY, WHICH INVOLVES THE FORMATION OF AN EMOTIONAL BOND BETWEEN PARENTS AND NON-BIOLOGICAL ( THE) SON (S) WHO CREATED, CARED FOR AND EDUCATED, THUS BALANCING THUS THE OLD PATERNITY VISION BASED ONLY ON "BLOOD TIES". THEREFORE, WE WILL PRESENT THE SOCIAL AND HISTORICAL CONSTRUCTION OF FAMILY AND FATHERHOOD, CONCEPTUALIZING THE FAMILY, THEIR WAY OF CONSTITUTION AND TO COMPARE THE ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS AND ADAPTATION OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS OF HEALTH CARE FIELD, HUMAN SCIENCES, APPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCES AND EXACT SCIENCES. THE STUDY INCLUDED 400 UNIVERSITY STUDENTS OF BOTH GENDERS, WITH 37.75% OF MEN AND 62.25% WOMEN, AGED BETWEEN 18 AND 59 YEARS (M = 25.07, SD = 6.46), PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS OF RIO DE JANEIRO STATE.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY AIMS TO ANALYSE CONTRIBUTIONS APPLYING A PROPOSAL FOR EDUCATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS TRAINING FOR HIGH ABILITY STUDENTS AND REGULAR STUDENTS AND TO CHECK THE INCREASE OF THE REPERTOIRE OF SOCIAL SKILLS OF THE PARTICIPANTS AFTER THE INTERVENTION. EIGHTEEN PARTICIPANTS STUDENTS FROM 12 TO 17, BETWEEN 6 AND 9 YEARS OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION, SIX OF THESE REVIEWS WITH HIGH SKILLS AND TWELVE REGULAR STUDENTS. THREE STEPS WERE TAKEN: PRE-TEST, INTERVENTION AND POST-TEST. IN THE PRE-TEST PHASE, STUDENTS WERE INTERVIEWED WITH FOUR OPEN QUESTIONS AND THE SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY FOR ADOLESCENTS (DEL PRETTE & DEL PRETTE, 2009). IN THE INTERVENTION STAGE, THERE WAS A SOCIAL SKILLS TRAINING BASED ON ELLIOT AND GRESHAM (2007). IN THE POST-TEST, THESE PARTICIPANTS REPLIED TO THE INVENTORY AND THE INTERVIEW THAT ASSESSED THE SOCIAL SKILLS TRAINING AND POSSIBLE CHANGES IN THE REPERTOIRE OF SOCIAL SKILLS OF TEENAGERS. IT WAS FOUND IN THE RESULTS VERIFIED THAT THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES AFTER THE EDUCATIONAL INTERVENTION, WITH INCREASED FREQUENCY IN THE ISSUE OF SOCIAL SKILLS OF THE SAMPLE. THUS, IT IS CONCLUDED THAT THE EDUCACIONAL INTERVENTION BROUGHT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE REPERTOIRE OF SOCIAL SKILLS OF THESE ADOLESCENTS.

ABSTRACT
BULLYING IN SCHOOL IS A VIOLENCE THAT HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH VARIOUS IMPAIRMENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH, IN ADDITION TO PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS, IT IS CHARACTERIZED AS AN AGGRESSIVE, CRUEL, INTENTIONAL BEHAVIOR, REPETITIVELY AND WITHOUT LIMITS. THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SKILLS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS PROTECTIVE BEHAVIORS COMPARED TO THE BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS MAINLY WITH REGARD TO OFFENDERS AND VICTIMS IN THE PHENOMENON. THIS STUDY AIMS TO DETERMINE THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN BULLYING AND SOCIAL SKILLS IN CHILDREN OF THE SIXTH YEAR OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ; IDENTIFY SOCIAL SKILLS IN STUDENT¿S AGGRESSORS AND VICTIMS OF BULLYING AND THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SOCIAL SKILLS AND PROBLEM BEHAVIOR IN OFFENDERS AND VICTIMS OF BULLYING. THE STUDY INCLUDED 400 STUDENTS ATTENDING THE SIXTH GRADE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND 400 PARENTS OF THESE ADOLESCENTS, FROM CITY SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. DATA WERE COLLECTED WITH THE STUDENTS WHO ANSWERED THE SOCIAL SKILLS SCALE FOR STUDENTS AND THE SYSTEM OF SOCIAL SKILLS ASSESSMENT (SSRS) AND THE QUESTIONNAIRE BULLYING. PARENTS OF THE STUDENTS EVALUATED THE BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS BY SSRS BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS SCALE. WE USED STUDENT'S TEST TO COMPARE GROUPS AND WAS MADE R PEARSON CORRELATION TO LIST THE FACTORS OF THE INSTRUMENTS. IT IS SHOWN THAT SOCIAL SKILLS CORRELATE NEGATIVELY WITH BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS AND THAT THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE SOCIAL SKILLS INVOLVED IN BULLYING. IT IS CLEAR THAT BULLYING BEHAVIOR IS HARDLY IDENTIFIED AND THAT THE CONFLICT IN INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS IS OFTEN VEILED AND OMITTED THE POSSIBLE INTERVENTION.

ABSTRACT
INCREASED LIFE EXPECTANCY AND THE DRASTIC REDUCTION IN THE BIRTH RATE ARE LEADING THE COUNTRY TO A CRISIS IN ITS PENSION SYSTEM. AMONG THE POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO THIS IMPASSE, IT HIGHLIGHTS THE NEED FOR RETENTION OF OLDER WORKERS IN THE MARKET. IN THIS SCENARIO, JOB SATISFACTION IS ONE ELEMENT FOR THIS CONTINUITY IN THE MARKET. THIS RESEARCH AIMS TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTS OF COMPONENTS OF THE WORK ENVIRONMENT IN THE DEGREE OF JOB SATISFACTION IN ACADEMICS. IT WAS THEREFORE TESTED THE THEORETICAL MODEL IN WHICH THE THREE INDEPENDENT VARIABLES (VI): WORK ENVIRONMENT, AGE AND GENDER COULD INFLUENCE THE DEPENDENT VARIABLE (DV): JOB SATISFACTION AND ALSO TESTING THE INFLUENCE OF AGE ON SATISFACTION WITH THE DESKTOP. THUS, FOUR HYPOTHESES WERE TESTED: I) RELATED TO GENDER AND JOB SATISFACTION ; II) RELATED TO THE WORK ENVIRONMENT AND JOB SATISFACTION ; III) AGE-RELATED AND JOB SATISFACTION AND IV) RELATED TO THE AGE AND THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT. THE STUDY INCLUDED 180 ACADEMICS - OF BOTH SEXES, 30-66 YEARS OLD, WHO DEVELOPED ACTIVITIES IN DIFFERENT ACADEMIC DEPARTMENTS OF UNIVERSITIES IN THE CITY OF NITERÓI/RJ. THESE TEACHERS COMPLETED A QUESTIONNAIRE CONTAINING THE SATISFACTION SCALE AT WORK – EST (TOTAL) AND THE DIMENSION WORKING CONDITIONS OF WORK CONTEXT ASSESSMENT SCALE - DCEACT, REMOVE FOLLOWED BY SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONS. THE RESULTS REVEALED THAT TEACHERS WERE MORE SATISFIED THAN TEACHERS IN RELATION TO THE WORK ENVIRONMENT; THE WORK ENVIRONMENT INFLUENCE TO JOB SATISFACTION; AGE DID NOT CORRELATE WITH JOB SATISFACTION (TOTAL EST), BUT WITH THE PROMOTION (SIZE OF THE EST); IT WAS NOT DETECTED SIGNIFICANT CORRELATION BETWEEN AGE AND THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT. IN THE REGRESSION ANALYSIS, WE FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO EFFECT BETWEEN AGE AND JOB SATISFACTION), OR BETWEEN AGE AND THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT (DIMENSION WORKING CONDITIONS OF WORK CONTEXT ASSESSMENT SCALE - DCEACT). LINEAR REGRESSION SHOWED THAT THERE WAS A CONSIDERABLE AND SIGNIFICANT EFFECT BETWEEN THE SIZE OF THE WORKING CONDITIONS WORK CONTEXT ASSESSMENT SCALE - DCEACT, AND WAGES DIMENSION (EST). ONE LIMITATION WAS THE SMALL NUMBER OF UNIVERSITIES IN NITERÓI/RJ, ONLY NINE, SUGGESTING THE EXPANSION OF THIS STUDY TO UNIVERSITIES IN OTHER MUNICIPALITIES AS WELL AS EXTEND IT TO COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. THESE RESULTS SUGGEST MEASURES TO IMPROVE THE TEACHER'S DESKTOP, MAKING IT MORE SUITABLE TO THEIR NEEDS; CAUSING GREATER SATISFACTION IN THE EXERCISE OF THEIR ACTIVITY; AND CONSEQUENTLY EXTENDING THE TEACHER OF THE WORKING PERIOD. IT ALSO SUGGESTS EXPANDING THIS STUDY TO INCLUDE OTHER DIMENSIONS OF WORKING CONDITIONS.

ABSTRACT
BECAUSE OF THE GROWING AGING POPULATION, ISSUES RELATED TO OLD AGE HAVE BEEN HIGHLIGHTED IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HEALTH OVER THE PAST DECADE. KNOW THE PERCEPTION OF LOVE AND SEXUAL ATTITUDES IN OLD AGE CAN BRING KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE RISK OF CONTAGION OF SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES AND CARE OF SELF AND OTHER. THIS STUDY CONDUCTED AN ANALYSIS OF POSSIBLE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE PERCEPTION OF LOVE SEXUAL ATTITUDES AND THE RISK OPPOSITE SEX IN OLD AGE. FOR THIS, THEY EVALUATED 352 HEALTHY ELDERLY SUBJECTS OF THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. THE PARTICIPANTS ANSWEREDTHREE INSTRUMENTS: THE TRIANGULAR SCALE STERNBERG LOVE (ETAS), THE BRIEF SEXUAL ATTITUDES SCALE (EBAS) AND A SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONNAIRE ALSO ASSESSED THE DEGREE OF RISK OPPOSITE SEX. THE RESULTS OBTAINED BY MEANS OF MULTIPLE REGRESSION ANALYSIS, USING STEPWISE METHOD, REVEALED THAT THE ETAS, SEX AND AGE OF THE PARTICIPANTS WERE THE PREDICTORS OF RISK INDEX STD TOGETHER AND EXPLAINED 8.5% OF THE VARIABILITY OF THE DATA. FUTURE STUDIES ARE SUGGESTED IN ORDER TO REPLICATE THIS STUDY IN THE ELDERLY FROM OTHER STATES IN THE SAME WAY TO MAKE PREVENTION CAMPAIGNS ABOUT THE POPULATION GROUP SURVEYED IN THIS STUDY.

ABSTRACT
THE INCREASE IN THE ELDERLY POPULATION POINTS TO A SOCIETY¿S CHANGE IN VALUES, ATTITUDES IN SOCIETY FACING THE AGEING PROCESS. AGEING IS A PHASE OF CHALLENGES AND CHANGES, BUT THERE IS A GAP IN SOCIETY AGAINST THE MYTHS AND PREJUDICES AGAINST AGING (AGEISM) THAT PREVENT THE INCLUSION AND WELL- BEING OF OLDER PEOPLE IN ITS REALM. AGEISM MAY REPRESENT A RISK FOR THE CONTINUITY OF OLDER WORKERS IN THE LABOUR MARKET. THUS, STUDIES ON AGEISM ARE A GAP THAT NEEDS TO BE FILLED BY ACADEMY AND SOCIETY AT LARGE. BY TESTING A RANGE OF AGEISM IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT, WE CAN IDENTIFY THE PERCEPTION OF WORKERS IN THE FACE OF AGING. THIS QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH IS A PIONEER AND AIMED TO CONFIRM THE FACTOR STRUCTURE OF ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT AGEISM SCALE (OCAS) CONSTRUCTED AND VALIDATED BY FRANÇA ET AL. (2015). THE STUDY GATHERED 383 WORKERS FROM 18 TO 75 YEARS (M = 40 YEARS, SD = 12.79) OF BOTH SEXES, DIFFERENT LEVELS OF EDUCATION, LIVE IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO . DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSES WERE PERFORMED, AS WELL AS CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYZES (CFAS), T-TEST, CORRELATIONS BETWEEN SCALES, AND MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSIONS. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT OLDER WORKERS ARE LESS PREJUDICED AGAINST AGEING IN ORGANIZATIONS THAN THE YOUNGER ONES, AS WELL THE VALUES OF SELF-TRANSCEDENCE AND CONSERVATION AS IMPORTANT PREDICTORS OF ORGANIZATIONAL AGEISM. FINALLY, THE EXPANSION OF STUDIES ON THE AGEISM IN ORGANIZATIONS, FOCUSING MORE ON ITS CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES IS SUGGESTED IN ORDER TO FIND ALTERNATIVES TO REDUCE PREJUDICE AGAINST THE INCLUSION AND CONTINUITY OF OLDER WORKERS IN THE LABOR MARKET.

ABSTRACT
THE LATEST SURVEYS OF THE BRAZILIAN INSTITUTE OF GEOGRAPHY AND STATISTICS - IBGE POINTS TO A NEW REALITY IN THE COUNTRY: BRAZIL HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL CHANGES, LEAVING A PREDOMINANTLY RURAL AND AGRARIAN SOCIETY TO BECOME AN URBAN SOCIETY WITH ECONOMIC PREDOMINANCE OF INDUSTRY AND SERVICES SECTOR. IN THIS NEW SOCIAL REALITY, WOMEN ARE INCREASINGLY IMMERSED IN THE LABOR MARKET PAID EXTRA HOME. THE DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION HAS REDUCED INFANT MORTALITY RATES, INCREASED LIFE EXPECTANCY AND REDUCED FERTILITY RATES (IBGE, 2010). BASED ON THE NEW CONFIGURATIONS OF THE ECONOMY, LABOR MARKET AND THE CONTEMPORARY FAMILY, OUR GOAL WITH THIS STUDY WAS TO INVESTIGATE HOW FEDERAL PUBLIC SERVANTS WOMEN WHO WORK AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY - INT, INSTITUTION BELONGING TO THE MINISTRY OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION ¿ MCTI SEE LINK BETWEEN MOTHERHOOD AND WOMEN'S WORK, HOW THEY CONCILIATE THEIR DIFFERENT SOCIAL ROLES AND TO WHAT EXTENT THE PUBLIC SERVICE FACILITATES THIS CONCILIATION. IN IT, WE DISCUSS THE PERCEPTIONS OF WOMEN SERVANTS ON STATE ROLES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC POLICIES AND SOCIAL ACTIONS, WHAT STEPS ARE TAKEN IN THIS DIRECTION IN THE INSTITUTION THEY WORK TO FACILITATE THIS CONCILIATION, AND HOW THEY BELIEVE CAN PROMOTE GENDER EQUALITY BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN AND LEAD MEN TO SHARE WITH WOMEN THE HOUSEHOLD CHORES AND RESPONSIBILITIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE PROPOSED OBJECTIVES WE USE INDIVIDUAL SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS WITH FEDERAL PUBLIC SERVANTS WOMEN ESTABLISHED IN INT. DATA FROM FULL TRANSCRIPT OF THE INTERVIEWS WERE SUBMITTED TO DISCOURSE ANALYSIS, FROM THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES ESTABLISHED BY US BASED ON THE SAME DATA OF THE INTERVIEWS: MEN'S PARTICIPATION IN DOMESTIC ACTIVITIES AND CHILD CARE; DIFFICULTIES TO CONCILIATE FAMILY AND WORK AND ADVANTAGES OF BEING A FEDERAL PUBLIC SERVANT; SOCIAL ACTIONS AND PUBLIC POLICY THAT COULD ASSIST THE MATERNITY-LABOR CONCILIATION. WE CAN HIGHLIGHT THE FOLLOWING RESULTS, AMONG THE MOST EXPRESSIVE: (A) IT SEEMS THAT, EVEN WORKING AND STUDYING MORE THAN MEN, BRAZILIAN WOMEN ARE STILL PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR HOUSEWORK AND CHILD CARE; (B) BRAZILIAN WOMEN STILL DO NOT REALIZE AN EFFECTIVE STATE INTERFERENCE, THROUGH PUBLIC POLICIES FOR CONCILIATING MOTHERHOOD AND PAID FEMALE LABOR AND THE PROMOTION OF GENDER EQUALITY THROUGH ACTIONS THAT ENABLE EFFECTIVE PARTICIPATION OF MEN IN PRIVATE LIFE, REMOVING THE OVERHEAD OF WOMEN’S DOUBLE SHIFTS. WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT DOMESTIC WORK AND CHILD CARE CONTINUE TO BE A FEMALE RESPONSIBILITY, ALTHOUGH, NOWADAYS, SOME MEN "HELP" THEIR WIVES IN SOME OF THAT TASKS INCUMBENT ON THE WOMAN. THIS FACT COMPLICATES THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE LABOR MARKET, BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO CONCILIATE THESE TWO SIDES OF THEIR ACTIVITIES, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE. IT IS NECESSARY, THEREFORE, TO DEVELOP MORE PUBLIC POLICIES AND SOCIAL ACTIONS THAT CAN ACTUALLY ENSURE EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES AND LIVING CONDITIONS FOR MEN AND WOMEN IN BRAZIL.

ABSTRACT
ACCORDING TO MOSCOVICI (2009) "THE LEADER IS THE PERSON IN A GROUP THAT HAS BEEN ASSIGNED , FORMALLY OR INFORMALLY , A POSITION OF RESPONSIBILITY TO DIRECT AND COORDINATE CERTAIN ACTIVITIES ... THE CHIEF SUBORDINATE RELATIONSHIP IS ONE OF UNQUESTIONABLE LEGITIMATE POWER ( P. 200 ) . THEREFORE , TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF LEADERSHIP THROUGH SOCIAL MEANS UNDERSTANDING THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS SHARED KNOWLEDGE THAT DEVELOPS AFRONT A GROUP . THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH WAS TO INVESTIGATE AND UNDERSTAND THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATION OF LEADERSHIP OF PROFESSIONAL FEMALE WORKING IN SENIOR POSITIONS IN THE PROFESSIONAL CONTEXT, AND HOW THE ALLOCATION OF MOTHERHOOD CAN INFLUENCE THE DESIGN AND PRACTICE OF LEADERSHIP IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT AS WELL AS THE PROJECTION OF THE CAREER WOMAN WITHIN ORGANIZATIONS AND THE DIFFERENCES IN THE DESIGN OF MALE LEADERSHIP FOR FEMALE LEADERSHIP . TO THIS END, WERE INTERVIEWED 20 PARTICIPANTS FEMALE BRAZILIAN AGED FORM 30 TO 60 YEARS , GRADUATED , WORKING IN MANAGEMENT POSITIONS IN NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS , DIVIDED INTO TWO CATEGORIES , CHILDLESS LEADERS AND LEADERS WITH CHILDREN. THE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED WITH A QUALITATIVE BASIS, WITH SEMI -STRUCTURED FACE TO FACE INTERVIEWS TRANSCRIBED INTACT . THE CONTENT ANALYZES WERE PERFORMED ACCORDING TO THE CRITERIA OF BARDIN (2000 ) AND OLIVEIRA (2008 ) . THE RESULTS OF THE ANALYSIS , ACCORDING TO THE RESPONSES OF THE TWO CATEGORIES (CHILDLESS LEADERS AND LEADERS WITH CHILDREN), SHOW THAT THE INITIAL REPRESENTATION OF THE CONCEPT " BEING A WOMAN " IS " TO DO EVERYTHING "AND " SPLIT BETWEEN SEVERAL ROLES , DOING SEVERAL THINGS AT ONCE " . WHILE THE REPRESENTATION OF THE CONCEPT " LEADERSHIP " WOULD BE STRUCTURED AROUND THREE CORE ELEMENTS : "BEING A REFERENCE " , " LISTENING " AND " WORKING TOGETHER" , BEING SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHLIGHTED THAT IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO THE SUBJECT ACTING IN POSITIONS OF HEADS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING A BOSS AND BEING A LEADER . WITH REGARD TO THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MALE LEADERSHIP AND FEMALE LEADERSHIP , EVEN IF INITIALLY WAS REPORTING THAT THE DIFFERENCES OF LEADERSHIP IS NOT A GENDER ISSUE , BOTH PARTICIPANTS SHOWED SIGNIFICANTLY THAT THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GENDERS PRACTICES MALES FEMALES , WHICH ACCORDING TO THE PARTICIPANTS , THAT MEN WHEN ACTING AS A LEADER ARE MORE COERCIVE AND AGGRESSIVE ADVANTAGEOUSLY MORE FOCUSED AND OBJECTIVE , WHILE WOMEN WHEN THEY ACT AS LEADERS ARE MORE DIPLOMATIC AND CONCILIATORY , HAVING THE ADVANTAGE TO ACT WITH MORE EMOTION, BELIEVING FEMALE LEADERSHIP IN ORGANIZATIONS IS BUILT EXPERIENCE AND JOURNALING RELATIONSHIP STATING THAT OVER TIME, WOMAN OPERATES MANAGEMENT POSITIONS WHICH ACTING LEADER BECOME MORE " CALM " " PATIENT" AND " FLEXIBLE " . WE CONCLUDE THAT THIS STUDY MAY PROVIDE A BASIS FOR A LINK BETWEEN SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS , BOTH LEADERSHIP AND FEMALE LEADERSHIP.

ABSTRACT
READING IS AN ACTIVITY HIGHLY VALUED IN OUR SOCIETY . WE LIVE IN A WORLD FILLED WITH WRITTEN INFORMATION AND THE INDIVIDUAL WHO DOES NOT READ IS AT THE MARGIN OF OUR SOCIETY. READING IS A SKILL THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED EVEN BEFORE ONE STARTS SCHOOL. MANY STUDIES HAVE INVESTIGATES READING PRACTICES AT HOME AND ITS SUBSEQUENT INFLUENCE ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF READING AND WRITING. HOWEVER, LESS IS KNOWN ABOUT THE READING OF ADOLESCENTS. THIS STUDY INVESTIGATES HIGH SCHOOL STUDANT¿S READING FROM A ¿ESCOLA TÉCNICA¿ AND THEIR PREVIOUS PRIOR EXPERIENCES TO SCHOOLING. PARTICULARLY WHETHER THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN READING PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES REPORTED BY ADOLESCENTS ENJOYMENT IN READING AND READING ACHIEVEMENT OF ADOLESCENTS. PARTICIPATED IN THIS STUDY 31 ADOLESCENTS OF BOTH SEXES AND AGED BETWEEN 15 AND 22 YEARS. DATA WERE COLLECTED IN A TECHNICAL PUBLIC SCHOOL. THE SCHOOL PERFORMANCE TEST TDE WERE APPLIED ; READING COMPREHENSON QUESTIONNAIRE ; THE CLOZE TEST AND THE HOME LITERACY QUESTIONNAIRE. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT READING PERFORMANCE IS ASSOCIATED WITH ENJOYMENT IN IT READING, ALSO SHOWED A CORRELATION BETWEEN PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES WITH READING. IT WAS ALSO SHOWS THAT THE GREATER THE NUMBER OF BOOKS THAT ADOLESCENTS HAVE IN THEIR HOME, THE HIGHER THEIR ENJOYMENT IN READING.

ABSTRACT
BRAZIL HAS SHOWN SIGNIFICANT SOCIOCULTURAL CHANGE, IN IMPROVING THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE POPULATION IN RECENT YEARS. EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES IN EDUCATION ARE CLEAR. HOWEVER, THE DROPOUT RATES AND SCHOOL FAILURE WHICH ARE STILL PRESENT ESPECIALLY AMONG THE POOR POPULATION REPRESENT A WORRY. NOW, IT IS BELIEVED THAT THERE ARE COGNITIVE PRECURSORS OF READING AND WRITING, WITH EMPHASIS ON PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE NAME OF LETTERS THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED WITH THE CHILDREN IN THE FAMILY CONTEXT, BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF FORMAL EDUCATION, WITH POSITIVE EFFECTS ON PERFORMANCE OF READING AND WRITING AS WELL AS IN INITIAL SCHOOLING. MANY OF THESE ACTIVITIES ARE PERFORMED BY PARENTS INSTINCTIVELY FROM ROUTINE ACTIVITIES AND SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED AS FACILITATORS OF LEARNING. THIS PAPER DESCRIBES SOME EVERYDAY PRACTICES OF PARENTS WITH CHILD, ESPECIALLY RELATED TO READING, IN TWO DISTINCT SOCIAL CLASSES, AND LINK THEM TO THE CHILDREN'S PERFORMANCE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE LAST YEAR FROM KINDERGARTEN. THE PARENTS ANSWERED A FAMILIAR EVERYDAY PRACTICES QUESTIONNAIRE; THE CHILDREN TOOK TESTS OF PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS, LETTER NAME KNOWLEDGE AND ACQUISITION OF RECEPTIVE VOCABULARY. THESE ACTIVITIES WERE CARRIED OUT IN FOUR SCHOOLS, TWO PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND TWO PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN NITERÓI AND SÃO GONÇALO, RIO DE JANEIRO , WITH 80 FAMILIES , 40 OF THEM FROM PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND 40 FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS. IN THE DATA ANALYSIS AND NONPARAMETRIC SPEARMAN CORRELATION TO RELATE PARENTAL ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRECURSORS OF READING AND WRITING AND THE MANN-WHITNEY AND FISHER TESTS WERE USED TO COMPARE THE PERFORMANCE SCORES OF THE DEPENDENT VARIABLES FOR THE TWO SOCIAL CLASSES STUDIED. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT STIMULATING THE DEVELOPMENT OF PREDICTORS OF READING AND WRITING CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE PERFORMANCE OF CHILDREN AND THAT, ALTHOUGH THEY WERE BETTER USED BY THE FAMILIES OF MORE PRIVILEGED SOCIAL CLASS, YET CAN BE BETTER DEVELOPED BY BOTH SOCIAL CLASSES. THE RELEVANCE OF THIS WORK IS BASED ON THE IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH ON THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH INICIAL LEARNING TAKES PLACE, TO ENCOURAGE PARENTS ACTIVITIES AND TO HELP FORMULATING SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL POLICIES TO EXPLORE THE PRECURSORS OF READING AND WRITING.

ABSTRACT
RECENT STUDIES HAVE INVESTIGATED THE CONTRIBUTION OF METALINGUISTIC SKILLS IN LEARNING OF READING AND WRITING. AMONG THEM, THE PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS IS DEFINED AS THE ABILITY TO REFLECT ON THE SOUNDS THAT MAKE UP SPEECH. THIS AWARENESS CONTRIBUTES IN WRITING SKILL BY HELPING THE CHILD TO ACQUIRE THE ALPHABETIC PRINCIPLE AND IT IS A PRECURSOR OF LEARNING TO READ AND WRITE. THE PRESENT STUDY AIMED TO VERIFY IF THE PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES USED IN PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS INVESTIGATED PRESENT AN EFFECT ON PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE NAMES OF LETTERS, TWO IMPORTANT PRECURSORS TO LITERACY. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF TWO GROUPS OF PRIVATE SCHOOLS, ONE FROM SÃO GONÇALO AND ONE FROM NITERÓI AND TWO CLASSES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ONE FROM SÃO GONÇALO AND ONE FROM NITERÓI AND THEIR TEACHERS. THE CHILDREN WERE FIVE TO SIX YEARS, AND THEY WERE ATTENDING THE EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION. NON-PARAMETRIC TESTS SUCH AS MANN WERE USED - WHITNEY TEST TO CHECK FOR DIFFERENCES IN THE FREQUENCY OF LITERACY, LITERACY ACTIVITIES, AS WELL AS PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS AND LANGUAGE CLASSES HELD IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND CHECK IF THERE DIFFERENCES IN TEACHING PRACTICES BETWEEN THE TWO TYPES OF SCHOOL. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT CHILDREN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS UNDERPERFORMED TO A PRIVATE SCHOOL IN THE MEASURED VARIABLES AND THE TIME SPENT ON LITERACY ACTIVITIES PRECURSOR WAS GENERALLY HIGHER IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS THAN IN PUBLIC. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT ONE OF THE POSSIBLE REASONS FOR THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CHILDREN FROM PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS FOR PERFORMANCE ON PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE NAME OF LETTERS MAY BE DUE TO DIFFERENCES IN PRACTICE PEDAGOGICAL ACTIVITIES AS TIME SPENT THERE. THE RELEVANCE OF THIS WORK IS BASED ON THE IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH TO REFLECT WITH TEACHERS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE DOE WORK WITH ACTIVITIES THAT PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS IN THE SCHOOL CONTEXT. THUS, WE FOCUS ON ONE ASPECT OF THE ENVIRONMENT OF CHILDREN, PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES THAT ARE CONDUCTED IN THE SCHOOL CONTEXT, AND HOW THEY AFFECT THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRECURSOR LITERACY SKILLS.

ABSTRACT
WHEREAS IN THE COMING YEARS BRAZIL WILL HOST EVENTS OF WORLD IMPORTANCE. THIS STUDY CONTRIBUTES TO A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE BEHAVIOR OF THE ATHLETE. PREDOMINANT CHARACTER OF QUALITATIVE INVESTIGATION AIMS TO HIGHLIGHT THE ATHLETE POSSESSED EMOTIONAL CONTROL DURING COMPETITIONS AND HOW IT INTERFERED WITH THEIR PERFORMANCE. AND THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES WERE: TO RECOGNIZE THE RELEVANCE OF THE WORK OF SPORTSMAN PSYCHOLOGIST ON STAFF AND IDENTIFY DIFFERENT CAUSAL ATTRIBUTIONS FOR THE OUTCOME OF EACH ATHLETE. THIS RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF 10 BRAZILIAN ADULT ATHLETES OF BOTH SEXES, IN DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL SPORTS: JUDO, JUMP ORNAMENTAL AND RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS. THE RESEARCH INSTRUMENT WAS A SEMI-STRUCTURED LASTING 30 MINUTES EACH, WHICH WAS FILMED AND RECORDED INTERVIEW. FROM THE RESULTS IT CAN BE SEEN THAT ALL CLAIMED NOT TO HAVE FULL CONTROL OVER YOUR EMOTIONAL EMOTIONS IN PAST COMPETITIONS. ALTHOUGH ONLY ONE FIFTH OF THE ATHLETES RECEIVE CARE FROM A PSYCHOLOGIST SPORTSMAN, EVERYONE IS AWARE OF THE NEED FOR THE SAME TEAM. WHEN DEFEAT HAPPENS THE ATHLETE TENDS TO MAKE CAUSAL ATTRIBUTION TO APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR BAD RESULT. THIS STUDY BROADEN AND CORROBORATE OTHER RESEARCH ON THE TOPIC IN QUESTION, IN ORDER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE EMOTIONAL ASPECTS OF THE ATHLETE, AS WELL AS DRAW ATTENTION TO A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGHOUT THEIR SPORTING CAREER.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY AIMED TO PROPOSE AND EVALUATE EVIDENCES ON THE VALIDITY OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION FOR ACQUISITION AND POSSESSION OF FIREARMS. INITIALLY, AS A FIRST STUDY, A PSY CHOLOGICAL PROFILE WAS RAISED, WITH THE HELP OF S HOOTING INSTRUCTORS EXPERTS IN THE FIELD AND POLICE REFERENCE IN THE ACTIVITY. EIGHTEEN REQUIREMENTS WERE GATHERED THROUGH FOCUS GROUP AND SUBSEQUENTLY VALIDATED TOGETHER WITH THE POLICEMEN AND PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELD OF PRIVATE SECURITY. THE REQUIREMENTS DEFINED PERSONALITY DIMENSIONS, SPECIFIC ABILITIES (ATTENTION) AND INTELLIGENCE. IN A SECOND STUDY, WE SOUGHT TO FIND EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF THE RAISED PROFILE. FOR THIS, WE HAVE CHOSEN A SET OF INSTRUME NTS FOR THE EVALUATION OF THE PROFILE, COMPOSED OF THE PALOGRÁFICO PERSONALITY TESTS AND FACTORIAL BATTERY OF PERSONALITY (BFP), SPECIFIC SKILLS TEST, COMPOSED OF THE TESTS OF CONCENTRATED ATTENTION (TEACO - FF), DIFFUSE ATTENTION (TEADI) AND VISUAL MEMORY AND FACES (MVR) AND, TO ASSESS INTELLIGENCE, MATRIX REASONING TEST (BETA III). THE INSTRUMENTS WERE APPLIED IN FOUR DIFFERENT GROUPS, AMONG DETAINEES WHO HAVE COMMITTED SERIOUS CRIMES WITH A FIREARM, POLICEMEN WITH GOOD REFERENCES ON THE INSTITUTION, SECURITIES IN PRIVATE AREA AND SOCIETY. FIRST, WE RAISED THE PROFILE OF EACH GROUP IN THE INSTRUMENTS, FOLLOWED BY AN ANALYSIS OF SUITABILITY OR NON-SUITABILITY TO THE PROFILE FOR GUN POSSESSION. NEXT, IT WAS EVALUATED BY MEANS OF ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE WHETHER THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE AMONG THE GROUPS IN THE APPLIED MEASURES. THE DATA INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF INADEQUACY IN A GROUP OF DETAINEES, WHEN COMPARED WITH THE PROFILE OF GUN POSSESSION; THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE AMONG THE GROUPS IN SOME PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTICS, SUCH AS INTELLIGENCE AND DIFFUSE ATTENTION, ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE IN CONCENTRATED ATTENTION AND MEMORY. FINALLY, THE GROUP OF DETAINEES WAS INEPT FOR GUN POSSESSION, ESPECIALLY FOR THE CHARACTERISTICS OF INAPPROPRIATE AGGRESSION AND HIGH IMPULSIVITY. FROM THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED AND THE INSTRUMENTS USED; IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF CONTRIBUTING WITH A DIRECTION TO THE PROCESS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION FOR THE ACQUISITION AND POSSESSION OF FIREARMS.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY HAS TWO OBJECTIVES: (I) INVESTIGATE THE INFLUENCE OF CAREER COMMITMENT ON THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AS WELL AS THE INFLUENCE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT ON THE ORGANIZATIONAL ENTRENCHMENT AND THE CAREER OF HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS, AND ( II) COMPARE LEVELS OF ORGANIZATIONAL ENTRENCHMENT OF CAREER COMMITMENT AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHERS COMING FROM SECONDARY EDUCATION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS. TO MEET THESE GOALS, A QUESTIONNAIRE WAS ADMINISTERED IN PERSON WITH FOUR SCALES RELATED TO THE VARIABLES OF THE STUDY, ALL WITH GOOD PSYCHOMETRIC INDICATORS. THE QUANTITATIVE STUDY HAD A SAMPLE OF 403 TEACHERS, SEGMENTED BY TYPE OF SCHOOL, WITH DIVERSIFICATION OF GENDER, AGE, TIME OF WORK AS A TEACHER AND TAUGHT DISCIPLINES. THE RESULTS OF THIS STUDY ALLOW US TO CONCLUDE THAT (I) THE COMMITMENT TO CAREER IS A POSITIVE PREDICTOR OF PERCEIVED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, (II) THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS A NEGATIVE PREDICTOR OF ORGANIZATIONAL ENTRENCHMENT (III) THAT BOTH THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PERCEPTION AND THE COMMITMENT TO CAREER IS HIGHER IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS THAN IN PUBLIC, (IV) THAT IN ORGANIZATIONAL ENTRENCHMENT, LIMITATION DIMENSION OF ALTERNATIVES IS GREATER IN PUBLIC WHILE IMPERSONAL BUREAUCRATIC ARRANGEMENTS DIMENSION IS GREATER IN THE PRIVATE NETWORK AND THE SIZE ADJUSTMENT TO THE POSITION SOCIAL NOT DIFFER BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS. THE SURVEY RESULTS WERE DISCUSSED IN LIGHT OF THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE STUDY, THEORETICAL AND PRACTICES CONTRIBUTIONS DERIVED FROM THE SAME HAVING BEEN POINTED.

ABSTRACT
THIS WORK AIMED AT VERIFYING HOW THE MEDIA INTERFERES WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE IDENTITY OF GENERATION Y, IN VIEW OF THE IMPLICATIONS AND THE IMPACTS THAT THE MEDIA HAVE BROUGHT TO CONTEMPORARY LIFE. THE RESEARCH FOCUSED IN PARTICULAR THE IMPORTANCE OF CONSUMPTION FOR THE SOCIAL INTEGRATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE GROUPS TO WHICH THEY WANT TO BELONG. AS A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK, WE FOCUSED ON THE SOCIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACHES, ESPECIALLY STUDIES ON IDENTITY, CONSUMPTION AND THE MEDIA IN ITS VARIOUS FORMS OF EXPRESSION. WAS ADDRESSED , IN PARTICULAR , THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE IDENTITY OF GENERATION Y, THE FOCUS OF THIS STUDY, THEN, THE MEDIA AND CONSUMPTION HAS BEEN EXPLORED AS A MEANS TO CROSS THEIR IDENTITY TRANSFORMATIONS, PRESENTING HERE A FEW TWISTS BETWEEN IDENTITY AND MEDIA CONSUMPTION. IN ORDER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF THE MEDIA IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITY, FROM THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CONSUMPTION OF GOODS, CARRIED OUT A FIELD SURVEY WITH SIX YOUTH OF GENERATION Y, AGED 18-28 YEARS. THE INTERVIEWS WERE SEMI - STRUCTURED, RECORDED AND TRANSCRIBED AND THE RESULTING LINES WERE SUBJECTED TO A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS, FROM THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: MEDIA CREATION AND NEEDS; PRODUCTION CONSUMPTION AND IDENTITY; AND DRUG USE AS CONSUMPTION AND OBJECT IDENTIFICATION. IN THE CATEGORY MEDIA AND CREATION NEEDS WAS OBSERVED THAT THE MEDIA IS PERCEIVED BY RESPONDENTS AS BEING ABLE TO CREATE NEEDS. IN THE CATEGORY PRODUCTION CONSUMPTION AND IDENTITY, ONE CAN OBSERVE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CONSUMPTION OF TECHNOLOGICAL GOODS, CONSIDERING THAT BEING CONNECTED IS SEEN AS PARAMOUNT TO EXIST IN THIS WORLD, NOT BEING SEEN WITH " GOOD EYES " THE POSSIBILITY OF NOT BELONGING TO SOME SOCIAL NETWORK. IT CAN BE SAID THAT THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IS A KEY ASPECT OF THIS GENERATION. IN THE CATEGORY DRUG USE AS CONSUMPTION AND OBJECT IDENTIFICATION, WE FOUND THAT DRUG USE IS PERCEIVED BY THEM AS A FORM OF SOCIAL INCLUSION, CONSIDERING AT THE SAME TIME, HE IS RELATED TO THE SUPERFICIAL PART OF THE FORM ITSELF BEING THE GENERATION.

ABSTRACT
THE PROBLEMS OF THE HOMELESS POPULATION IS OF SINGULAR INTEREST NOWADAYS, NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE IMPORTANCE IN ITSELF, BUT FOR WHAT IS STILL LACKING IN KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THIS PROCESS. REGARDLESS OF THE 'PRE-CONCEPT' THAT HAS ABOUT THE HOMELESS, THE REDEMPTION OF SUCH SUBJECTS AS CITIZENS IS NECESSARY. IT IS LIKELY THAT MANY CONSIDER THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS CONSTITUTE THE PERSPECTIVE OF IDLENESS SINCE MISCHARACTERIZE THE LOGIC OF THE WORK SOCIETY. IN THIS SENSE, THE STUDY ADDRESSES INEQUALITY, EXCLUSION AND SOCIAL INCLUSION, SINCE RECENT STUDIES INDICATE THAT THE HOMELESS POPULATION IS GROWING IN URBAN CENTERS IN DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS DUE TO CULTURAL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DISCREPANCIES. FROM THESE CONSIDERATIONS THIS RESEARCH AIMS TO ANALYZE THE WORK-LEISURE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HOMELESS OF URBAN SPACE. FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS OBJECTIVE, IT ALSO SEEKS TO IDENTIFY THE REALITY THAT SURROUNDS THE HOMELESS AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LED TO THIS SITUATION ; THE PERCEPTIONS OF THE HOMELESS AS THE WORK-LEISURE RELATIONSHIP; AND CHECK HOW THE GOVERNMENTAL AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL SOCIAL INCLUSION ACTIONS ARE PERCEIVED BY THE HOMELESS. THE RESEARCH IS AN EXPLORATORY QUALITATIVE STUDY CONDUCTED IN THE CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO-RJ WITH THE RESIDENT ADULT MALE STREET. AS MAIN RESULTS WE OBSERVE THAT ALTHOUGH THE HOMELESS PERFORM ODD JOBS TO ENSURE THEIR SURVIVAL IS ALWAYS THE TARGET OF STIGMATIZATION AND PREJUDICE FROM SOCIETY. THIS ALMOST ALWAYS REALIZE HOW RUBBISH OF SOCIETY MAKING IT HARDER HIS DEPARTURE FROM THIS CONDITION.

ABSTRACT
THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHERS IS A RELEVANT THEME WHICH IS GAINING MORE SPACE IN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE IMPACT THAT IT MIGHT GENERATE ON THE STUDENTS. THIS DISSERTATION PRESENTS TWO STUDY OBJECTIVES: (1) MEASURE THE POSSIBLE INFLUENCE OF JOB SATISFACTION, PROFESSIONAL CHOICE AND QUALIFICATION ON THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHERS OF THE FIRST SEGMENT OF PRIMARY EDUCATION (1ST TO 5TH GRADES), AND (2) COMPARE THE PERCEPTION OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS FROM PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS WITH RESPECT TO THESE VARIABLES. COMPOSED OF 266 TEACHERS, THE QUESTIONNAIRE CONSISTED OF SCALES WITH GOOD PSYCHOMETRIC INDICATORS, AS WELL AS SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC DATA ITEMS. THE SURVEY RESULTS SHOW THAT THE PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATION FROM FORMAL AND PLANNED ACTIONS DOES NOT PREDICT THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PERCEPTION, BUT SELF-EDUCATED QUALIFICATION OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL AS JOB SATISFACTION ARE POSITIVE PREDICTORS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE STUDY ALSO SHOWS THAT, DESPITE THE FACT THAT PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS REPORTED HAVING MORE PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATION OPPORTUNITIES ON THE LAST FIVE YEARS THAN PRIVATE SCHOOL TEACHERS, THEY STILL PERCEIVE THEMSELVES AS HAVING LESS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND ALSO LOWER JOB SATISFACTION. AS A CONTRIBUTION OF THIS STUDY, THERE IS THE EXPANSION OF ANTECEDENTS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MODEL, WITH A FOCUS ON TEACHERS FOR THE EARLY GRADES OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE FOR THE PUBLIC POLICYMAKERS AND FOR SCHOOLS IN VIEW OF THE RESEARCH FINDINGS.

ABSTRACT
THE CHANGES OBSERVED IN SOCIETY WHEN MIDDLE-CLASS WOMEN ENTERED THELABOR MARKET LED TO CHANGES IN THE TRADITIONAL MODEL OF FAMILY AND GENDER RELATIONS IN BRAZIL. AS A CONSEQUENCE, THE CONCEPTION OF MATERNITY AS AN INEVITABLE FATE IN THE LIFEOF WOMEN HAS BEEN QUESTIONED NOWADAYS. A GROWING NUMBER OF MIDDLE-CLASS WOMEN OPT FOR LIVING THIS EXPERIENCE AND, THUS, DO NOT FULFILL ONE OF THE STRONGEST CHARACTERISTICS OF FEMALE IDENTITY. THE PRESENT WORK INTENDED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE PERCEPTIONS, MOTIVATIONS, FEELINGSAND EXPECTATIONS INVOLVED IN THESE WOMEN¿S DECISION. SEVEN PROFESSIONALLY WELL-SUCCEEDED MIDDLE-CLASS WOMEN, AGED THIRTY-FIVE TO FORTY-FIVE YEARS, IN THE STATE OF THE RIO DE JANEIRO WERE INDIVIDUALLY INTERVIEWED. THE INTERVIEWS WERE SEMI-STRUCTURED, TAPE-RECORDED AND FULLY TRANSCRIBED. THE RESULTING TEXTS WERE THEN SUBMITTED TO A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: WORK AND PROFESSIONAL CAREER ; MATERNITY AND FAMILY ; AND OPTION FOR NOT HAVING CHILDREN. THE RESULTS SUGGEST THAT THE OPTION FOR NOT HAVING CHILDREN SEEMS TO INVOLVE DISTINCT QUESTIONS, SUCH AS FAMILY HISTORY, PERSONALITY TRACES, EMPHASIS ON OTHER OBJECTIVES IN THE LIFE – SUCH AS STUDY AND PROFESSIONAL CAREER – FINANCIAL QUESTIONS, VALORIZATION OF THEIR INDEPENDENCE AND PERSONAL FREEDOM, ABSENCE OF A COMPANION, AMONG OTHERS. WE MIGHT SAY, THEN, THAT THE CHOICE FOR HAVING OR NOT CHILDREN – AS ANY KIND OF CHOICE – IS, TO A GREAT EXTENT, CONDITIONED BOTH BY WOMEN’S IMMEDIATE CONTEXT OF LIFE, AS WELL AS BY THE BROADEST CONTEXT IN WHICH THEY LIVE. IT SEEMS, THUS, THAT, ALTHOUGH NEW OPTIONS ARE OPENED TO WOMEN NOWADAYS, AMONG THE AVAILABLE AND OPEN CHOICES TO THEM, MATERNITY STILL REMAINS STRONGLY AS THE IDEAL CHOICE.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY AIMED TO PRESENT THE FIRST SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF AN OFFICE IN BRAZIL, THROUGH EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY, USING THE METHODS OF ANALYSIS PROFESSIOGRAPHIC AND MAPPING SKILLS. SINCE THE PROCESS OF SELECTING PEOPLE HAS BEEN CHARACTERIZED BY THE SEARCH FOR EXCELLENCE IN ORDER TO ADD VALUE COMPETITIVE ORGANIZATIONS WITH CANDIDATES WHO POSSESS, IN ADDITION TO TECHNICAL SKILLS, ABLE TO ADAPT TO THE CULTURE AND VALUES OF THE ORGANIZATION. THIS STUDY AIMS TO PERFORM PROFESSIOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS AND MAPPING SKILLS IN THE OFFICE OF THE BRAZILIAN ARMY MILITARY MUSICIAN, IDENTIFYING THE POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STRUCTURING OF THE JOB PROFILE. THE FIRST STEP AIMED AT THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE INSTRUMENT PROFESSIOGRAPHIC AND MAPPING SKILLS TO LIFT TASKS, TECHNICAL AND BEHAVIORAL SKILLS RELEVANT TO THE POSITION IN QUESTION. THE SECOND STAGE INVOLVED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INSTRUMENT PROFESSIOGRAPHIC AND MAPPING, TO OBTAIN DATA REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE AND FREQUENCY DOMAIN, ASSIGNED TASKS, AND THE IMPORTANCE AND DOMINANCE OF RESPONDENTS IN TECHNICAL AND BEHAVIORAL SKILLS. AT THIS STAGE THE INSTRUMENT WAS APPLIED WITH THE PERSONALITY TEST BATTERY FACTOR PERSONALITY IN 151 MILITARY MUSICIANS, ALL MEN, AND 70.9 % (N = 107) WERE MARRIED , AGED 20-54 YEARS. AFTER APPLICATION, WERE PERFORMED PEARSON CORRELATIONS BETWEEN THE FACTORS OF IMPORTANCE OF TASKS AND MASTERY OF SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES, AND BEHAVIORAL FACTORS AND FACETS OF CONSCIENTIOUSNESS (CONVERGENT VALIDITY) AND NEUROTICISM (DISCRIMINANT VALIDITY) FOR ANALYSIS OF EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF THE PROFILE, BASED ON EXTERNAL VARIABLES. THE DATA INDICATED THAT THE PROFILED HAS EVIDENCE FOR INTERNAL VALIDITY, CONSISTENT WITH ALPHAS AND VALIDITY BASED ON EXTERNAL VARIABLES. FROM THE DATA COLLECTED, WAS APPOINTED A BATTERY OF ASSESSMENT TO SUPPORT FUTURE SELECTIONS FROM THE POST OF ARMY MUSICIAN PERFORMER.

ABSTRACT
ALTHOUGH CONTINUING EDUCATION IS CONSIDERED IMPORTANT IN THE TRAINING OF TEACHERS AND OTHER WORKERS IN EDUCATION AND TRUMPETED BY ALL MANAGERS AND EDUCATIONAL PROFESSIONALS, THIS ACTION DOES NOT TAKE PLACE IN THE SAME MANNER IN WHICH IT DISCUSSED. IN PRACTICE, TEACHERS AND WORKERS IN EDUCATION AS A WHOLE SUFFER FROM LACKING OF ACTIONS AIMED AT THIS CONTINUITY IN THEIR TRAINING. THUS, THIS STUDY AIMS TO UNDERSTAND HOW EDUCATORS PERCEIVE DAYCARE CONTINUING EDUCATION AND THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE MUNICIPAL EDUCATION OF DUQUE DE CAXIAS. THE PARTICIPANTS ARE TEACHERS, PROMOTERS, DIRECTORS AND TEACHING STAFF WORKING IN CHILD CARE, SERVING CHILDREN AGED TWO TO FIVE YEARS. WILL ANALYZE THE EXPERIENCES OF CONTEMPORARY REALITY OF THE SUBJECTS WITH RESPECT TO CONTINUING EDUCATION. A QUALITATIVE APPROACH WAS ADOPTED FOR DATA COLLECTION INVOLVING A SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEW, INTERPRETED THROUGH CONTENT ANALYSIS, OBSERVATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL SPACE OF KINDERGARTENS AND DOCUMENTARY ANALYSIS. THE SURVEY RESULTS INDICATE THAT THERE IS A MISMATCH BETWEEN THE PERCEPTION OF THE MUNICIPAL EDUCATION AND THE DEMANDS COMING FROM THE TEACHERS OF KINDERGARTENS IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED ACTIVITIES OF CONTINUING EDUCATION. EDUCATORS CHARGE THAT THERE IS DIALOGUE BETWEEN SME AND EARLY CHILDHOOD PROFESSIONALS FOR FUTURE TRAINING ARE PLANNED ACCORDING TO THE REALITY DEMANDED BY THESE PROFESSIONALS. THUS, IT IS POSSIBLE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THE MUNICIPAL DUQUE DE CAXIAS NEED TO LISTEN TO THE NEEDS OF CONTINUING EDUCATION OF EARLY CHILDHOOD PROFESSIONALS, SO AS NOT TO DISTANCE ITSELF FROM THE INTERESTS AND NEEDS OF THESE EMERGING PROFESSIONALS.

ABSTRACT
THE INDICATION IN THE IDENTIFICATION PROCESS IN GIFTEDNESS IS A RELEVANT THEME IN THIS RESEARCH. THEREFORE THIS STUDY WAS BASED ON THE INDICATION OF THIS SPECIFIC PUBLIC IN THE SCHOOL CONTEXT, AND AS PARTICIPANTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS TEACHERS IGUABA GRANDE AND IN ITS SURROUNDINGS. IT IS NOTEWORTHY THAT THE STATEMENT AND LATER IDENTIFICATION OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STUDENT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALL HIS POTENTIAL, MAKING IT NECESSARY THAT THE WHOLE EDUCATIONAL STRUCTURE IS READY TO RECEIVE AND WORK WITH THIS DEMAND. WITH THIS ASSUMPTION AND THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION'S ASSERTION THAT 3% TO 5% OF THE POPULATION HAS GIFTEDNESS, THE RESEARCH WAS DIRECTED TO SCHOOLS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF IGUABA GRANDE AND ITS SURROUNDINGS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO INVESTIGATE HOW TO GIVE INDICATION OF THESE STUDENTS IN THE PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE OF TEACHERS IN THE PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING THESE STUDENTS WITH POTENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS AND TRAITS. IT WAS A QUALITATIVE MODEL SEARCH, WHICH INSTRUMENT WAS USED, IN THE FORM OF A QUESTIONNAIRE WITH OPEN AND CLOSED ISSUES. THE RESULT WAS THE NEED AND ALERT THESE TEACHERS SURVEY ARE AWARE OF THE RELEVANCE OF THE TOPIC IN THE SENSE THAT ALL STUDENTS WITH SUCH ATTRIBUTES ARE PERCEIVED AND INDICATED, AS PART OF THEIR SCHOOL.

ABSTRACT
TRANSSEXUALITY ARISES FROM A MISMATCH BETWEEN THE BODY CONSTITUTION AND SEX, THE LATTER DETERMINED BY ANATOMICAL CRITERIA. IT IS UNDERSTOOD AS THE DESIRE TO LIVE AND BE ACCEPTED AS A MEMBER OF THE OPPOSITE SEX, HENCE THE NEED TO ADAPT YOUR BODY TO ITS IDENTITY THROUGH HORMONE THERAPY AND REASSIGNMENT SURGERY, AMONG OTHER PROCEDURES. THIS STUDY AIMS AT IDENTIFYING SOME FACTORS THAT MAY INFLUENCE THE PROCESS OF TRANSITION OF TRANSSEXUAL WOMEN, PARTICULARLY WITH RESPECT TO THE CHOICE OF REASSIGNMENT SURGERY. WE BEGAN BY QUESTIONING TRANSSEXUALITY APPOINTING SOME OF ITS DIFFERENCES FROM TRAVESTILITY AND INTERSEXUALITY. FOR SUCH, WE ANALYZE CONCEPTS SUCH AS SEX, GENDER, GENDER IDENTITY, GENDER ROLE, AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION. TRANSSEXUALITY IS PRESENTED AS SOCIALLY AND HISTORICALLY CONSTRUCTED, CHANGEABLE AND THEREFORE DEPENDENT ON THE HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL CONTEXT. WE ALSO PRESENT A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF WHAT ARE CONSIDERED THE CAUSES, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF TRANSSEXUALITY, POINTED TO ITS DEPATHOLOGIZATION. WE ALSO PRESENT SOME OF THE POSSIBLE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THE BODY AS A SOCIO-HISTORICAL DISCOURSE SO AS TO BETTER UNDERST HOW THE TRANSSEXUAL BODY PROBLEMATIZES HETERONORMATIVITY AS A STANDARD OF SEXUALITY. IN ORDER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS PROCESS, WE DEVELOPED A STUDY WITH FIVE TRANSGENDER WOMEN FROM RIO DE JANEIRO, AGED 21 TO 31ANOS, WHO STARTED TRANSITION PROCESS. WE USED SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS, WHICH WERE RECORDED AND FULLY TRANSCRIBED. THE RESULTING TEXTS WERE SUBJECTED TO A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: BEING TRANSSEXUAL, BUILDING THE TRANSSEXUAL BODY, SEXUALITY AND EXPECTATIONS FOR THE FUTURE. OUR RESULTS POINT TO THE FACT THAT ALL BODY MODIFICATION PERFORMED BY TRANSSEXUAL WOMEN ARE MAINLY TARGETING SOCIAL RECOGNITION AS A GENDER VARIANT. THUS, DESPITE THE DISCOURSE RELATED TO THE "NATURAL", "I WAS BORN THIS WAY", ALL OUR PARTICIPANTS WERE STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY FRIENDS AND SEXUAL-AFFECTIVE RELATIONSHIPS.

ABSTRACT
WHEN IT COMES TO INFIDELITY, WE CAN SAY THAT COME INTO PLAY THREE CHARACTERS: A PERSON WHO BETRAYS THE PERSON WHO IS BETRAYED AND THE PERSON INVOLVED IN THE NEW RELATIONSHIP, IE, THE ONE WITH WHOM THE TREACHERY WAS CONSUMMATED. BETRAYAL IS UNDERSTOOD HERE AS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW LOVE AFFAIR, OR NEW ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS, WHETHER CARNAL OR EMOTIONAL LEVEL, WHEN THERE IS ALREADY A COMMITMENTAND A BOND OF AFFECTION PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED WITH ANOTHER PERSON. THIS WORK AIMS TO STUDY MARITAL INFIDELITY IN HETEROSEXUAL MEN AND WOMEN MARRIED LOCALS WHO DECLARED INFIDELS, INCLUDING THEREIN AS SEE MARRIAGE AND INFIDELITY AS WELL AS FACTORS THEYBELIEVE CAN LEAD TO INFIDELITY AND WHAT THEIR CONSEQUENCES. THE STUDY'S THEORETICAL PSYCHOSOCIAL APPROACH, ABOUT MARITAL AND MARITAL INFIDELITY. WE BEGIN WITH A BRIEF HISTORY OF SEXUALITY, EMPHASIZING THE TRANSFORMATION OF SEXUALITY IN ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS AND MARRIAGE. THEN, WE DISCUSS SOME THEORETICAL POSITION ABOUT THE PROCESS OF INFIDELITY, FOCUSING, IN PARTICULAR, STUDIES OF MARITAL CONFLICT AND THE FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE EMERGENCE OF THESE CONFLICTS AND MARITAL INFIDELITY IN MARRIAGE CONTEMPORARY. IN ORDER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS PROCESS, WE DEVELOPED A FIELD RESEARCH WITH SIX PEOPLE, THREE MEN AND THREE WOMEN OF THE CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO, WHICH HAVE BEEN DECLARED INFIDELS, AGED 25-45 YEARS WITH 10-25 YEARS OF MARRIAGE. WE INTERVIEWED USING SEMI-STRUCTURED, BASED ON A PREVIOUSLY ELABORATED, WHICH WERE RECORDED AND TRANSCRIBED VERBATIM. THE RESULTING TEXTS WERE SUBJECTED TO A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS FROM THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: MARRIAGE AND FAMILY, FIDELITY AND MONOGAMY AND INFIDELITY AND BETRAYAL. OUR RESULTS POINT TO THE FACT THAT INFIDELITY USUALLY OCCURS BECAUSE OF LACK OF AFFECTION, SATISFYING SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP, UNHAPPINESS, CONFLICT IN MARRIAGE, OR EVEN TO TAKE REVENGE FOR A BETRAYAL. ALTHOUGH THEY WERE INFIDELS, ALL OUR RESPONDENTS SAID THEY BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE EXPECT SEXUAL EXCLUSIVITY PARTNER AFTER MARRIAGE. FINALL, FOR OUR RESPONDENT, WHILE THE MALE WAS SEEN AS TREASON GENERALLY MORE CARNAL, IE, TARGETING ONLY SEXUAL PLEASURE, TO INVOLVE MORE FEMININE FEELING.

ABSTRACT
THIS EXPLORATORY AND DESCRIPTIVE STUDY, WITH QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE APPROACHES IS TO ANALYZE JOB SATISFACTION OF PROFESSORS OF UNDERGRADUATE HEALTHCARE SALGADO DE OLIVEIRA UNIVERSITY - UNIVERSO CAMPIIN NITERÓI AND SÃO GONÇALO. FOR THIS, WE SOUGHT TO IDENTIFY FACTORS THAT AFFECT PROFESSOR SATISFACTION, THE EVALUATION OF THE PERCEPTION OF JOB SATISFACTION AND THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE FACTORS OF JOB SATISFACTION AND MOTIVATION TO THE MEANING OF WORK FOR THESE PROFESSORS. THE FIRST CHAPTER DEPICTS THE LANDSCAPE OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN BRAZIL, FROM THE COLONIAL PERIOD TO THE CURRENT TRENDS. THE SECOND CHAPTER DEALS WITH THE PROFESSOR, DISCUSSING ASPECTS RELATED TO TEACHING, TRAINING AND LEGISLATION FOR THE EXERCISE OF TEACHING HIGHER. THE THIRD CHAPTER COVERS THE CONCEPTS OF MOTIVATION AND MEANING OF THE WORK. A DISCUSSION OF JOB SATISFACTION OCCURS IN THE FOURTH CHAPTER PRESENTS THE MAIN THEORIES ONTHE SUBJECT IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE JOB SATISFACTION OF PROFESSORS. THE INSTRUMENT USED FOR DATA COLLECTION CONSISTED OF QUANTITATIVE SCALE OF JOB SATISFACTION (EST - SIQUEIRA, 1995), INVENTORY MOTIVATION AND MEANING OF WORK (IMST - BORGES & ALVES -FILHO, 2003), AND SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC DATA. THESE DATA WERE RECORDED IN A DATABASE, ANALYZED AND PROCESSED USING SPSS – STATISTICAL PACKAGE FOR THE SOCIAL SCIENCES (VERSION 18). WE PERFORMED EXPLORATORY DATA ANALYSIS AND USED DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS (MEAN, FREQUENCY, AND STANDARD DEVIATION), PEARSON CORRELATION, T-TEST AND ANOVA. LATER WE USED SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS, THE DATA WERE INTERPRETED USING CONTENT ANALYSIS. WE KNOW THAT MANY TEACHERS WORK IN DUAL-CAREER, OFTEN AS PROFESSIONALS AND AS PROFESSORS. THESE ACTIVITIES SERVE TO SUPPORT THE ENHANCEMENT OF THE CLASSES, HOWEVER, OFTEN WORK AS A TEACHER EMERGES AS A SECONDARY JOB. THE DIFFERENT SHADES IN LIFE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE SATISFACTION OR NOT IN TEACHING. HOWEVER, IN THE TEACHING, CONTROL OF THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION, THE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS AS A GUIDELINE AND RECOGNITION BY THE STUDENT AND SOCIETY EMERGED AS IMPORTANT ASPECTS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE PERCEPTION OF JOB SATISFACTION.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY HAD PER OBJECTIVES IDENTIFY AND RELATE THE SOCIAL SKILLS (SK), ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE (AP) AND BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS (BP) OF THE STUDENTS WHO PASSTHROUGH THE TRANSITION FROM THE 6TH GRADE AND COMPARE WITH THE SCORES OF THE STUDENTS WHO ATTEND THE 7TH GRADE OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. ANOTHER OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH WAS TO IDENTIFY AND COMPARE THE SOCIOMETRIC STATUS OF THESE STUDENTS. TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE STUDENTS TOOK PART IN THIS RESEARCH, IN WHICH 128 IN THE 6TH GRADE AND 101 IN THE 7TH GRADE OF A PUBLIC SCHOOL. DATA WERE COLLECTED THROUGH THE SOCIAL SKILLS RATING SYSTEM (SSRS), FOR PARENTS, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS, THE SOCIOMETRIC INDICATION PROTOCOLAND THE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AVERAGE. THE RESULTS IN THE COMPARISON BETWEEN THE SCORES OF SOCIAL SKILLS AND BEHAVIORAL PROBLEM OF STUDENTS FROM 6TH AND 7TH GRADES SHOWED US THAT THE SOCIAL SKILLS ARE MORE INTENSIFIED IN STUDENTS OF THE 7TH GRADE. THERE WERE SIMILAR CORRELATIONS IN THE EVALUATION OF TEACHERS AND PARENTS INDICATING THAT THE HIGHER IS THE COMMITMENT WITH THE SCHOOL ACTIVITIES, THE DOMAIN OF EMOTIONAL REACTIONS AND INVOLVEMENT WITH THE PEERS, THE LOWER IS THE INCIDENCE OF PROBLEMATIC BEHAVIORS. FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT CORRELATION AND A NEGATIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS, INDICATING THAT THE LOWER IS THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, THE MORE BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS STUDENTS PRESENT. REGARDING THE SOCIAL SKILLS AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, THE TOTAL STUDIES SHOW THAT THE HIGHER ARE THE SOCIAL SKILLS SCORES THE BETTER IS THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. THE SOCIOMETRIC STATUS IDENTIFIED THE POSITIONS OF THE STUDENTS IN THE GROUP, WITH SUPERIOR RESULTS FOR THE 6TH GRADE WITH MORE ASSIGNMENTS OF REJECTED, POPULAR, CONTROVERSIAL AND NEGLECTED THAN THE 7TH GRADE. STUDENTS OF THE 7TH GRADE SHOWED AN INCREASE IN SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATING GREATER ACCEPTANCE OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE GROUP.

ABSTRACT
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS A TOPIC NOT YET EXPLORED IN THE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LITERATURE AND PROVIDES AN EXTENSIVE SET OF VARIABLES SUCH AS TRAINING ACTIVITIES, INFORMAL LEARNING IN THE WORKPLACE, THE EXPERIENCE GAINED OVER THE YEARS. THE PRESENT STUDY AIMED TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER JUSTICE PREDICTS ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONAL AND RESILIENCE IS VARIABLE MODERATING THIS RELATIONSHIP. THE SURVEY CONSISTED OF 320 WORKERS WORKING IN VARIOUS PROFESSIONS AND WHO RESPONDED TO A QUESTIONNAIRE PRINTED. INSTRUMENTS WERE USED TO COLLECT DATA WITH EVIDENCE OF EMPIRICAL VALIDITY, THE INSTRUMENTS BEING RESILIENT AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ONE-DIMENSIONAL AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL JUSTICE (DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE, PROCEDURAL, INTERACTIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL). ANALYSES OF BIVARIATE CORRELATIONS SHOWED THAT RESILIENCE AND DIMENSIONS OF DISTRIBUTIVE AND PROCEDURAL JUSTICE HAD POSITIVE AND MODERATE CORRELATION WITH THE PERCEPTION OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, WHILE INFORMATIVE AND INTERACTIONAL JUSTICE WERE ALSO POSITIVE CORRELATION, BUT LOW MAGNITUDE. TO TEST THE POSSIBLE MODERATING RELATIONSHIP OF RESILIENCE WAS MADE THE SEQUENTIAL REGRESSION ANALYSIS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT NO RESILIENCE MODERATES THE ORGANIZATIONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FAIRNESS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, ALTHOUGH IT IS PREDICTIVE OF SUCH DEVELOPMENT. THE FINAL MODEL HAD AS PREDICTORS RESILIENCE AND DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE. THE STUDY ON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WITH THESE PREDICTORS IS UNPRECEDENTED IN THE LITERATURE AND REINFORCES THE IMPORTANCE OF FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE TOPIC.

ABSTRACT
RESILIENCE IS DEFINED AS THE ABILITY OF THE HUMAN BEING, ORGANIZATION OR GROUP TO RECOVER THEMSELVES AFTER FACING ADVERSE SITUATIONS. RETIREMENT MAY BE REGARDED AS AN ADVERSE SITUATION SINCE IT INVOLVES LOSES AND GAINS. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TRANSITIONS IN THE MATURE LIFE AND REQUIRES ADAPTATIONS IN MANY ASPECTS TO REACH WELL-BEING AT THIS STAGE. BASED ON THIS SCENARIO, THE PRESENT STUDY INVESTIGATED THE IMPORTANCE OF RESILIENCE TO THE WELL-BEING IN RETIREMENT. THE PARTICIPANTS WERE 270 RETIREES, MEN AND WOMEN, OF LARGE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS, LOCATED IN THE CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO. DATA COLLECTION WAS CONDUCTED THROUGH A QUESTIONNAIRE CONTAINING SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC DATA, THE RESILIENCE SCALE (WAGNILD & YOUNG, 1993) AND THE ADAPTED SCALE OF SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING (CARDOSO & FERREIRA, 2009). FACTOR ANALYSES OF THESE SCALES, CORRELATION PEARSON AND HIERARCHICAL REGRESSION WERE PERFORMED. IN GENERAL, THE RESULTS REVEALED THAT THE OVERALL RESILIENCE AND SOCIOECONOMIC SATISFACTION CONTRIBUTE TO WELL-BEING DURING THIS PERIOD. FUTURE STUDIES ARE SUGGESTED IN ORDER TO REPLICATE THIS RESEARCH WITH RETIREES WHO DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN ASSOCIATIONS OF RETIREES AS WELL AS EXTEND IT TO RETIREES FROM OTHER STATES, TO PROMOTE RESILIENT ATTITUDES THROUGHOUT LIFE AND PARTICULARLY IN THE PLANNING AND PREPARATION FOR RETIREMENT.

ABSTRACT
THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO INVESTIGATE THE IMPACT OF THE RESILIENCE AND ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE PERCEPTION (DISTRIBUTIVE, PROCEDURAL, INTERPERSONAL AND INFORMATIONAL) OVER THE ENGAGEMENT AT WORK. THE SAMPLE OF THE SURVEY WAS COMPOSED OF 435 PROFESSIONALS FROM BOTH GENDERS ENGAGED IN PUBLIC, PRIVATE AND THIRD SECTOR ORGANIZATIONS SITUATED MAINLY IN THE RIO DE JANEIRO STATE. THE DATA COLLECTION WAS MADE USING BRAZILIAN VERSIONS OF THE COLQUITT¿S ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE PERCEPTION SCALE, CONNOR-DAVIDSON¿S RESILIENCE SCALE AND UTRECHT¿S WORK ENGAGEMENT SCALE. THE MULTIPLE REGRESSION ANALYSIS SHOWED THAT: (1) THE PERCEPTIONS OF DISTRIBUTIVE AND INTERPERSONAL JUSTICE PREDICT POSITIVELY ON WORK ENGAGEMENT ; (2) RESILIENCE PREDICTS POSITIVELY THE WORK ENGAGEMENT. SUCH RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED MAINLY BASED ON THE WORK DEMANDS AND RESOURCES MODEL THAT SUPPORTED THE STUDY. ON CONCLUSION SOME FUTURE RESEARCH AND STRATEGY SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO ELEVATE THE WORK ENGAGEMENT.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY ANALYZES THE EARLY INSERTION OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS INTO THE WORLD OF LABOR AND THE MEANING OF THAT, RESEARCHED WITH ADULTS WHO HAVE LIVED THIS EXPERIENCE. THUS, THIS RESEARCH'S GOAL IS INVESTIGATE ADULTS WHO EXERCISED LABOR FUNCTIONS IN THEIR CHILDHOOD, TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS THE MEANING OF THIS ACTIVITY TO THEM. THE THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ASSUMPTIONS ARE OF SOCIAL-HISTORIC PSYCHOLOGY. THREE WOMEN LIFE STORIES, EACH IN A DIFFERENT AGE BRACKET, WERE PRESENTED, THESE ¿ADULT-CHILDREN WORKERS¿, A CATEGORY PROPOSED IN THIS STUDY, APPROACHING THEIR PATHS FACING THIS OPPRESSIVE PROCESS, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE IMPACT ON SCHOOLING. THE QUALITATIVE METHODOLOGY HAS PRESENTED ITSELF AS THE IDEAL WAY TO UNDERSTAND HOW CHILD LABOR HAS MARKED THEM (OR STILL DOES). THE METHOD USED WAS THE LIFE STORY, WHICH ALLOWED TO LEARN THE INTERSECTIONS BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE HISTORY, A BRIDGE BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL AND SOCIAL TRAJECTORY. THE REST THE RESULTS WERE ANALYZED BY THE THEMATIC CONTENT ANALYSIS, WHERE THE THEME IS A MAIN CONCEPT, WITH MANY SIMILARITIES, ANALOGIES AND MEANINGS. WE CONSIDERED THAT THE PRESENT STUDY WILL ALLOW THE REFLECTION AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF CHILD LABOR SO THAT, FROM HERE ON, WE CAN STUDY NEW WAYS TO INTERVENE IT, UNDER THE LIGHTS OF THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES.

ABSTRACT
THIS THESIS AIMS TO PERFORM EXPLORATORY STUDY ON THE UNDERSTANDING OF CRIMINOLOGICAL EXAMINATION, FROM THE ACCOUNTS OF THOSE INVOLVED IN ITS REALIZATION. WERE HEARD TEN (10) PSYCHOLOGISTS, TEN (10) LAWYERS AND TEN (10) INMATES. THE METHOD USED WAS A QUALITATIVE, SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS AND CONTENT ANALYSIS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT PSYCHOLOGISTS DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO TAKE A PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION, AND DO NOT USE INSTRUMENTS IN THE EXAM. THE RESULTS ALSO INDICATED THAT LAWYERS DEMAND AN EXPECTATION FOR THIS PROFESSIONAL BEYOND THE ASSESSMENT OF PERSONALITY, WHERE HE MISTAKENLY MAKE A PREDICTION OF CRIMINAL RECIDIVISM OF THE CONVICT. BUT THE STORY OF CONVICTS SHOWED THAT THERE IS AN EXPECTATION OF SOCIAL APPROVAL THROUGH THIS EXAM GIVEN THEM THE POSSIBILITY OF REHABILITATION, ALSO EVIDENCED THAT THE CONVICTS SHOW WILL BE ATTENDED / HEARD ROUTINELY BY PSYCHOLOGISTS.

ABSTRACT
THE CONSTRUCTED IMAGE OF OLD DECAYING, SICK AND DEPENDENT CONTRASTS WITH THE INCREASINGLY WIDESPREAD DISCOURSE OF OLD AGE HEALTHY, ACTIVE AND INDEPENDENT. DESPITE THIS CONTEMPORARY CURTAIN, THERE ARE PREJUDICES AGAINST AGING THAT CAN INFLUENCE, AMONG OTHER ISSUES, VIOLENCE AGAINST THE ELDERLY. ALTHOUGH THE STATE ESTABLISHES MEASURES FOR THE ELDERLY, CREATING SPECIFIC STANDARDS OF SUPPORT, THESE ARE STILL INSUFFICIE NT COMPARED WITH THIS VIOLENCE, WHICH COVERS ALL SOCIAL CLASSES, OCCURRING MOST FREQUENTLY IN THE FAMILY. THIS QUANTITATIVE STUDY AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE VIOLENCE AGAINST SENIORS IN THE CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO . AN INSTRUMENT CONTAINING A SCALE OF DISCRIMINATION AND AGEISM (PALMORE, 1999) AND SOCIO -DEMOGRAPHIC DATA WAS COMPLETED BY 284 PEOPLE AGED 60 OR OLDER LIVING IN THE CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO. EXPLORATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS OF THE SCALE OF AGEISM PALMORE, SPEARMAN CORRELATIONS AND MULTIPLE REGRESSIONS WERE PERFORMED AND RESULTS REVEALED THAT THE LEVEL OF CONFLICT, THE OVERAL DEPENDENCY, INCOME AND GENDER WERE PREDICTORS OF VIOLENCE IN THIS ELDERLY SAMPLE. THOSE WHO HAD A HIGHER LEVEL OF CONFLICT, LOWER INCOME, AND GREATER DEPENDENCE WERE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO VIOLENCE. SIMILARLY, OLDER MEN WERE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO VIOLENCE THAN OLDER WOMEN. THESE RESULTS SUGGEST THE NEED FOR EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGNS AND PROGRAMS THAT WORK WITH INTERGENERATIONAL DISCRIMINATION AGAINST OLDER PEOPLE. FUTURE STUDIES SHOULD BE CONDUCTED TO CONFIRM THESE RESULTS INCLUDING SENIORS FROM OTHER PARTS OF RIO DE JANEIRO AND OTHER STATES, STILL INVESTIGATING THE VARIABLES THAT PREDICT VIOLENCE FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE AGGRESSOR.

ABSTRACT
THE CONSCIENTIOUSNESS ACCORDING TO THE THEORY OF THE BIG FIVE PERSONALITY FACTORS CONSTITUTES ASPECTS OF PROACTIVE AND INHIBITORS. THE FIRST ASPECT OF PLANNING, ORGANIZING AND CONDUCTING TASKS, WHILE THE SECOND TO THE DOMAIN AND SELF-CONTROL IN THE FACE OF IMPULSES AND THE INDIVIDUAL'S ABILITY TO MANAGE THEIR DESIRES. IN THE PRESENT STUDY THE FACTOR IS UNDERSTOOD AS THE TENDENCY OF THE SUBJECT TO BE COMMITTED, COMPETENT OR NOT IN CARRYING OUT THEIR ACTIVITIES. THUS, THIS RESEARCH AIMS TO BUILD AN INSTRUMENT TO MEASURE CONSCIENTIOUSNESS FOR USE IN THE CONTEXT OF PRIVATE SECURITY AND PRESENT EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY. THE FIRST STUDY AIMED TO ECVNV CONSTRUCTION AND PRESENTATION OF EVIDENCE BASED ON CONTENT AND SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF THE SAME. THE SECOND STUDY WAS DIVIDED INTO TWO STAGES. THE FIRST STEP DEVOTED TO THE PRESENTATION OF EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY BASED ON THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF ECVNV AND THE SECOND STEP SHOWED EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF ECVNV BASED ON EXTERNAL VARIABLES. THE STUDY SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF 270 PROFESSIONALS IN THE PRIVATE SECURITY OF THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, MINAS GERAIS AND SERGIPE, THE AVERAGE AGE OF PARTICIPANTS WAS 33 YEARS ( SD = 1.86 ), RANGING FROM 21-60 YEARS. REGARDING THE LEVEL OF EDUCATION, 4.8 % OF SUBJECTS WERE CONSIDERED ILLITERATE , 3.0 % CRUDE LITERATE , 17.8 % CONSIDERED LITERATE BASIC AND 74.4 % CONSIDERED LITERATE FULL . IN THE SECOND STEP WE VERIFIED THE CONVERGENT VALIDITY OF THE TEST ECVNV BFP. IN THE ANALYSIS WERE FOUND POSITIVE CORRELATIONS BETWEEN THE GENERAL FACTOR OF CONSCIENTIOUSNESS ECVNV WITH FACTOR REALIZATION BFP AND FACETS OF COMPETENCE AND COMMITMENT OF ECVNV WITH FACETS CONSIDERATION AND PRUDENCE, COMPETENCE AND COMMITMENT OF THE BFP. WE ALSO FOUND A NEGATIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE FACET COMPETENCE ECVNV AND NEUROTICISM FACTOR BFP AND POSITIVE CORRELATIONS BETWEEN THE FACET LACK OF COMMITMENT BY BFP AND NEUROTICISM. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF ECVNV AND THE NEED FOR FURTHER RESEARCH THAT FOCUS ON THE INTERFACE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE TO THE FIELD OF PRIVATE SECURITY.

ABSTRACT
REFERRING TO THE THREE-FACTOR MODEL OF WORKPLACE SPIRITUALITY BY ASHMOS AND DUCHON (2000) AND THE FOUR-FACTOR MODEL OF WELL-BEING BY VAN HORN, TARIS, SCHAUFELI, AND SCHREURS (2004), THE PRESENT STUDY AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE PREDICTIVE POWER OF SPIRITUALITY IN WELL-BEING AT WORK. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF 344 EMPLOYEES, OF BOTH SEXES, BELONGING TO PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS LOCATED PREDOMINANTLY IN RIO DE JANEIRO STATE. THESE INDIVIDUALS RESPONDED TO A WORKPLACE SPIRITUALITY SCALE, TO AN AFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT SCALE, TO A GENERAL SATISFACTION AT WORK SCALE, TO A POSITIVE AFFECTS AT WORK SCALE AND TO AN EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION SCALE. THE HIERARCHICAL MULTIPLE REGRESSION ANALYZES PERFORMED SHOWED THAT (1) THE MEANING AND PURPOSE AT WORK POSITIVELY AND SIGNIFICANTLY PREDICTS JOB SATISFACTION, AFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT, POSITIVE AFFECT LED TO WORK AND LACK OF EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION, (2) THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY IN THE TEAM POSITIVELY AND SIGNIFICANTLY PREDICTS JOB SATISFACTION AND AFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT; (3) THE INNER LIFE NEGATIVELY AND SIGNIFICANTLY PREDICTS THE ABSENCE OF EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION; (4) AGE PREDICTS BOTH THE ABSENCE OF EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION AS JOB SATISFACTION; (5) THE CURRENT TIME WORK PREDICTS AFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT, (6) THE DEGREE OF RELIGIOSITY POSITIVELY AND SIGNIFICANTLY PREDICTS THE ABSENCE OF EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION. THESE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED FROM THEORETICAL MODELS THAT SUPPORTED THE RESEARCH AND AS CONCLUSION SUGGESTS FURTHER STUDIES IN THIS NEW AREA OF RESEARCH.

ABSTRACT
WHILE STUDIES OF ADOPTION ARE NUMEROUS, VERY LITTLE IS FOUND ABOUT THE PRACTICE OF ADOPTION IS PERCEIVED BY THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO ANALYZE HOW ADOPTED CHILDREN ARE PERCEIVED BY THE SCHOOL. THE CENTRAL HYPOTHESIS IS THAT THE SCHOOL ATTACHES TO ADOPT THE CAUSE OF LEARNING DISABILITIES AND BEHAVIOR OF STUDENTS WHO ARE FOSTER CHILDREN. IN ORDER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE TOPIC WERE CONDUCTED SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS WITH SEVEN PROFESSIONALS WORKING IN EDUCATION IN ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION IN THE PRIVATE SCHOOLS OF THE CITY OF NITERÓI - RJ. THE MATERIAL WAS SUBJECTED TO A SPEECH ANALYSIS. AS A RESULT WE CAN SAY THAT THEY DO NOT ATTRIBUTE SOLELY TO THE ADOPTION BECAUSE OF BEHAVIORAL DIFFICULTIES AND LEARNING OF STUDENTS WHO ARE FOSTER CHILDREN, DESPITE SPEECHES FULL OF PRECONCEIVED IDEAS ON THE SUBJECT. IT WAS OBSERVED THAT DESPITE THE DISCOURSE OF THE INTERVIEWEES SUGGEST THE COEXISTENCE BETWEEN PEOPLE AS ESSENTIAL IN THE PERCEPTION OF CONTEMPORARY FAMILY, FOCUSING ON AFFECTIVE TIES, STILL SEEMS TO PERSIST THE RELEVANCE OF KINSHIP IN THE PERCEPTION OF THE ADOPTIVE FAMILY. IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE BIOLOGICAL FAMILY WHEN COMPARED WITH THE ADOPTIVE FAMILY IS STILL PERCEIVED AS NATURAL, REAL AND NORMAL, IN CONTRAST, THE ADOPTIVE FAMILY IS ASSOCIATED WITH PROBLEMS. REVEALED THE NEED TO REFLECT ON THE VARIOUS TYPES OF FAMILY CONSTITUTION AND CONTRIBUTE TO RESPECT FOR DIFFERENCES, AND GUARANTEE SOCIAL RIGHTS.

ABSTRACT
THE GREAT CHALLENGE OF EDUCATION IS TO FORM, CRITICAL, REFLEXIVE, SENSIBLE, AND COMPETENT CITIZENS THROUGH A CONSTANT PROCESS OF LEARNING TO LEARN. IN THIS PROCESS, ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PHENOMENA IN CONTEMPORARY EDUCATION IS LINKED TO THE STUDENTS’ READING PERFORMANCE. IN THIS SENSE, REFLETING OVER READING ENCOURAGEMENT PROCEDURES PROMOTED BY THE SCHOOL, YOUNG PEOPLE’S READING STRATEGIES, THEIR INTERESTS AS WELL AS POSITIVE FAMILY ENCOURAGEMENT IS CONSIDERED AS A MAJOR FACTOR OF GREAT VALUE IN THE TEACHING LEARNING PROCESS. THIS IS A BIG CHALLENGE NOT ONLY FOR THE SCHOOL AND FAMILY BUT ALSO FOR SOCIETY IN GENERAL. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THIS, STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION LEVELS AS WELL AS HOW THEIR HABITS COULD INTERFERE IN THE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS WERE OBSERVED AND ANALYZED. THUS, THE MAIN OBJETIVES OF THIS TASK ARE TO ESTABLISH A THEORETICAL DISCUSSION REGARDING READING PRACTICES AMONG MIDDLE-SCHOOL LEVEL TEENANGERS AGED 11 TO 14, IN THE CITY OF SÃO GONÇALO AND MARICÁ, AND VERIFY IF THERE IS A RELATION BETWEEN READING PRATICES AND TEXT COMPREHENSION. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE STUDENTS WHO HAD BETTER RESULTS IN TEXT COMPREHENSION ARE THOSE WHO HAD THE HABIT OF READING SCHOOL CONTENT. ON THE OTHER HAND, READING FOR PLEASURE DID NOT HAVE SUCH A POSITIVE IMPACT ON TEXT COMPREHENSION. THE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED IN LIGHT OF THE IMPACT THAT READING HAS ON OUR CULTURE AND EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.

ABSTRACT
FROM A DISCUSSION OF THE HISTORIC PRODUCTION AND PSYCHOLOGY'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CONSTRUCT THE NOTION OF CHILDHOOD AND FAMILY VIOLENCE, THE FOLLOWING WORK HAS AS AN OBJECTIVE TO INVESTIGATE THE CAPACITY TO IDENTIFY FAMILY VIOLENCE SITUATIONS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND IF THE PROBLEM IS NOTIFIED. THE FIELD OF WORK WAS BUILT BY THE MESSAGES IN THE 2011 DISCUSSION FORUM, “ECA NA ESCOLA”, OFFERED THROUGH THE “PORTAL PRÓ-MENINO” THAT TAUGHT TEACHERS AND OTHER SCHOOL EMPLOYEES ALL OVER BRAZIL ABOUT CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENT'S RIGHTS. ANALYZING THE CONTENT OF THE 69 MESSAGES SELECTED AMONG ALL THE 1839 MESSAGES EXAMINED, THE RESULTS REVEALED THAT ALL INVOLVED KNEW ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF FAMILY VIOLENCE AND ARE ALSO AWARE OF THE NEED TO NOTIFY AUTHORITIES WHEN SUSPICION ARISE. HOWEVER, THE EDUCATORS' SPEECH ALSO SHOW DOUBTS IN REGARDS ABOUT THE CORRECT PROCEDURE AS WELL AS SERIOUS OBSTACLES WITH THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE “CONSELHO TUTELAR” (TUTELARY COUNCIL). THIS STUDY AIMS TO SHOW THE MANY DIFFICULTIES PRESENT IN THE PROTECTION AGAINST VIOLENCE NETWORKS, TO REAFFIRM THE IMPORTANCE OF THE “SISTEMA DE GARANTIA DE DIREITOS” (CHILD AND ADOLESCENT'S RIGHTS GUARANTEE SYSTEM) AS WELL AS THE SCHOOL'S ROLES WITHIN THAT SYSTEM.

ABSTRACT
THE CHALLENGE OF EDUCATION IS THE FORMATION OF THE CITIZEN CRITIC, REFLECTIVE, SENSITIVE AND COMPETENT, WHICH IS BUILT IN A CONSTANT PROCESS OF LEARNING TO LEARN. AND IN THE PROCESS, ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PHENOMENA OF CONTEMPORARY EDUCATION IS LINKED TO THE PROCESS OF LITERACY AND LITERACY. TALKING ABOUT LITERACY AND LITERACY TODAY IS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE SUBJECT SHOULD BE LITERATE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SOCIAL PRACTICES OF READING AND WRITING, IT FAVORS FORMATION OF THE SUBJECT IN ITS MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS. NO LONGER JUST INFORM, IT IS NECESSARY TO ASSIST IN TRAINING THE SUBJECT CONSCIOUS READER. OPORTUNIZAR PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES THAT MAKE THIS GUY AWARE OF THEIR ROLE IN SOCIETY IS A CONSTANT CHALLENGE FOR TEACHER LITERACY. IN THIS SENSE, REFLECT ON THE FIELD OF METALINGUISTIC SKILLS AND STIMULATING PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS HAS ALLOWED TO UNDERSTAND INQUIRIES ABOUT THE LITERACY PROCESS. THEREFORE, THIS STUDY OBSERVED AND ANALYZED THE LEVEL OF PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN AND FOUND THAT TEACHING PRACTICES HAVE A STRONG INFLUENCE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF METALINGUISTIC SKILLS. THUS, THE PRESENT STUDY HAS AS MAIN OBJECTIVE TO TRACE A THEORETICAL DISCUSSION ON THE ROLE OF PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS IN THE LEARNING PROCESS OF STUDENTS AND STILL COMPARE WHETHER THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERFORMANCE ON PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS ACTIVITIES AND FREQUENCY OF LANGUAGE AND WRITING IN THE SCHOOL ON THE NET MUNICIPAL DE NITERÓI. IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE TEACHER WHO PROMOTES A PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE WEEKLY INVOLVING PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS ACTIVITIES FAVORS THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS ON THE PART OF STUDENTS WHOSE TEACHER PROMOTES A PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE THAT INVOLVES WEEKLY PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS ACTIVITIES.

ABSTRACT
SOCIAL INEQUITY IMPACTS NEGATIVELY IN THE ACCESS AND PERMANENCE OF POOR STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS. THE PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IN BRAZIL PRESENTS DEFECTS, THAT ALLIED TO OTHER PROBLEMS, FROM A SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, CULTURAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL NATURE, WEAKENS EVEN FURTHER THE STUDENTS THAT FACE REAL DIFFICULTIES. THIS WORK AIMS TO REFLECT UPON THE SOCIAL INEQUITY FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY OF LIBERATION, SOCIAL-HISTORICAL PSYCHOLOGY AND INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS. THE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENCE OF STUDENTS FROM LOWER CLASSES IN HIGH SCHOOL IN THE CENTRO FEDERAL DE EDUCAÇÃO TECNOLÓGICA CELSO SUCKOW DA FONSECA – CEFET/RJ, CAMPUS MARACANÃ. A RESEARCH WAS MADE, WITH STRUCTURED INTERVIEW, A FOCUS GROUP WITH STUDENTS AND SEMI STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS WITH TEACHERS AND TECHNICIANS; BESIDES, PARTICIPANT OBSERVATION IN CLASS COUNCILS AND MEETINGS WITH MEMBERS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD. WE GAVE ATTENTION BOTH TO THE MANY INFORMATION GATHERED AND TO THE EVERYDAY STRUGGLES LIVED BY THE STUDENTS. THE RESULTS REVEALED THAT THE PARTICIPANTS ACKNOWLEDGE THE EXISTENCE OF DIFFICULTIES, FROM SEVERAL ORIGINS, THE MOST MENTIONED BEING THE TIREDNESS AND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN SCHOOL AND HOME, BESIDES THE EVENTUAL LEARNING ISSUES, WHICH CAUSES OBSTACLES TO THE STUDENTS PERMANENCE IN SCHOOLS. THIS STUDENTS INTENDS TO REVEAL THE LOGIC OF THE INSTITUTION AS WELL AS REAFFIRM THE IMPORTANCE OF THINKING FROM THE REALITY AND EVERYDAY LIFE OF THE STUDENTS TO CREATE PUBLIC POLICIES THAT WILL ACHIEVE A TRULY PUBLIC AND BENEFICIAL EDUCATION TO ALL.

ABSTRACT
ADOLESCENCE IS A STAGE OF TRANSITION AND MANY TRANSFORMATIONS. BUILDING OF SAFE BONDS OF AFFECTION AND SOCIAL SKILLS SINCE EARLY AGE CAN MAKE POSSIBLE THE DEVELOPMENT OF BEHAVIORAL STRATEGIES WHICH ARE FUNDAMENTAL FOR ADAPTIVE FUNCTIONING. THIS RESEARCH IS MEANT TO COMPARE AND RELATE THE VARIABLES ATTACHMENT AND SOCIAL SKILLS IN TEENAGERS WITH AND WITHOUT LAW BREAKING BACKGROUND. FOR THIS, 69 TEENAGERS TOOK PART OF THIS STUDY, OF WHICH 34 WITH A LAW BREAKING BACKGROUND AND 35 WITHOUT A LAW BREAKING BACKGROUND, WITH A MEAN AVERAGE AGE OF 16 YEARS. THE INVENTORY OF SOCIAL SKILLS FOR ADOLESCENTS (IHSA-DEL-PRETTE) AND THE SCALE OF ADULT ATTACHMENT (EAA-COLLINS-READ) WERE EMPLOYED. THE MAIN RESULTS FOUND WERE THAT TEENAGERS WITH LAW BREAKING BACKGROUND SHOWED HIGHER SCORES IN SELF-CONTROL ABILITY, IN REGARD TO THE DIFFICULTY INDICATOR, FURTHERMORE LOWER SCORES OF TRUST AND GREATER SCORES OF PROXIMITY IN REGARD TO THE ATTACHMENT VARIABLE AS COMPARED TO TEENAGERS WITHOUT LAW BREAKING BACKGROUND. TEENAGERS WITH LAW BREAKING BACKGROUND SHOWED SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE CORRELATIONS BETWEEN TRUST AND SELF-CONTROL, IN REGARD TO THE FREQUENCY INDICATOR, AND ANXIETY AND POLITENESS , IN REGARD TO THE DIFFICULTY INDICATOR. TEENAGERS WITHOUT LAW BREAKING BACKGROUND PRESENTED SUPERIOR SCORES IN REGARD TO TRUST IN RELATION TO TEENAGERS WHIT LAW BREAKING BACKGROUND. NO SIGNIFICANT CORRELATIONS WERE FOUND BETWEEN EAA AND HIS FOR TEENAGERS WITH LAW BREAKING BACKGROUND.

ABSTRACT
DEVELOPING SOCIAL SKILLS AND ESTABLISHING A SAFE ATTACHMENT ARE IMPORTANT FOR BUILDING SATISFACTORY INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS AND FOR THE MENTAL HEALTH OF INDIVIDUALS. BOTH SOCIAL SKILLS AS WELL AS ATTACHMENT STYLES SOMEHOW SEEM TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS. PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCE ADDICTION IS A DISORDER THAT LEADS TO SEVERE LOSSES IN ALL ASPECTS OF HUMAN LIFE. IN THIS MANNER, THIS STUDY SEEKS TO IDENTIFY AND EXAMINE HOW SOCIAL SKILLS AND STYLES OF ATTACHMENT ACT ON PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCE ADDICTS. THE SAMPLE WAS MADE UP OF 142 INDIVIDUALS BETWEEN 21 AND 59 YEARS OLD, OF WHICH 71 INDIVIDUALS WERE ADDICTED TO PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCE AND 71 WERE NOT ADDICTED. THE INVENTORY OF SOCIAL SKILLS (HIS-DEL-PRETTE) AND THE SCALE OF SOCIAL ATTACHMENT (EAA-COLLINS-READ) WERE APPLIED. THE RESULTS IDENTIFIED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL SKILLS AND ATTACHMENT STYLE ON INDIVIDUALS ADDICTED TO PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCE. SIGNIFICATIVE DIFFERENCES WERE FOUND BETWEEN THE PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCE ADDICTS AND THE CONTROL GROUP IN REGARD TO ATTACHMENT AS WELL AS HIS. THEREFORE, THE PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCE ADDICTS SHOWED MUCH LOWER LEVELS IN SOCIAL SKILLS AND HIGHER LEVELS OF INSECURE ATTACHMENT THAN THE NON-ADDICT INDIVIDUALS.

ABSTRACT
READING IS A VERY COMPLEX ACTIVITY THAT INCLUDES MANY ABILITIES SUCH AS IDENTIFYING AND RECOGNIZING LETTERS AND SOUNDS, AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPMENT OF METALINGUISTIC SKILLS. ACCORDINGLY, IN RECENT DECADES SEVERAL STUDIES HAVE INVESTIGATED THE ROLE OF METALINGUISTIC SKILLS SUCH AS MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS ON READING PERFORMANCE. WE EVALUATED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS AND READING COMPREHENSION IN THE CONTEXT OF ADOLESCENT LEARNERS ACROSS GRADES. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF 121 ADOLESCENTS, OF BOTH SEXES, AGED 11 TO 14 YEARS, FROM PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS AND BELONGING TO THE PROJECT "ASSESSMENT OF READING COMPREHENSION IN ADOLESCENTS." DATA WERE COLLECTED IN TWO PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ONE OF SÃO GONÇALO AND ONE BELONGING TO THE MUNICIPALITY OF MARICÁ. ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE SURVEY 16 TEENAGERS OF BOTH SEXES, MEAN AGED 13 YEARS AND 6 MONTHS, ATTENDING ELEMENTARY PRIVATE SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM SÃO GONÇALO, DRAWN FROM MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES, TASKS OF SCHOOL PERFORMANCE SUCH AS TDE TASKS PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS, MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS TASKS, AND TO MEASURE READING THE READING COMPREHENSION TEST AND THE CLOZE TEST. FOR THE DATA ANALYSIS TESTS USED WERE NONPARAMETRIC AND PARAMETRIC CORRELATIONS ANALYSIS AND NON-PARAMETRIC ANALYSIS MANN-WHITNEY. THE RESULTS PROVIDE SOME EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FOR SUPPORTING MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS AS A METALINGUISTIC SKILL THAT MAY BE IMPORTANT FOR READING COMPREHENSION BY ADOLESCENTS.

ABSTRACT
THE PRESENT RESEARCH HAD AN OBJECTIVE TO INVESTIGATE ABOUT THE IMPACT OF WORK SOCIAL SUPPORT AND SELF-CORE EVALUATION ABOUT LABOR WELL-BEING, OPERATIONALIZED THROUGH THE JOB SATISFACTION AND THE POSITIVE AFFECT TOWARD LABOR. THE SAMPLE INCLUDED 302 HEALTH PROFESSIONALS FROM SEVERAL PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS IN RIO DE JANEIRO STATE. THE DATA COLLECTION WAS EFFECTIVE THROUGH THE SCALE OF PERCEPTION AND SOCIAL SUPPORT AT WORK, SCALE OF SELF-CORE EVALUATION, SCALE OF GENERAL SATISFACTION IN THE JOB AND THE SCALE THE POSITIVE AFFECT AT WORK. HIERARCHICAL MULTIPLE REGRESSION ANALYSES SHOWED THAT: (1) AS BIGGER THE PERCEPTION OF INFORMATIONAL SOCIAL SUPPORT CO WORKERS OR THE SUPERVISORS WORKERS THAN HIGHER RATES JOB SATISFACTION AND THE WORK AFFECTIVE. (2) AS BIGGER SELF-CORE EVALUATION, THAN HIGHER RATES ON JOB SATISFACTION AND THE AFFECT AT WORK. (3) THE WOMEN SHOWERS HIGHER RATES JOB SATISFACTION, WHEN COMPARED TO MEN. (4) AS BIGGER TIME ACTUAL WORK, THAN HIGHER RATES ON JOB SATISFACTION. THESE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED FROM THE THEORETICAL MODEL WHICH GAVE SUPPORT SEARCH, AND CONCLUSIONS, SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE CONCERNING OF INTERVENTION STRATEGY WITH POSSIBILITY OF INCREASING SATISFACTION RATES AND POSITIVE AFFECTION IN THE JOB

ABSTRACT
THE PRESENT STUDY IT HAD AS OBJECTIVE GENERALITY TO INVESTIGATE THE PREDITIVO VALUE OF THE PERCEPTIONS OF ORGANIZACIONAL JUSTICE (DISTRIBUTIVE, PROCEDURAL, INFORMACIONAL AND INTERPERSONAL) ON LABOR WELL-BEING OF USED OF THE RETAILING, EXPRESS BY MEANS OF THE SATISFACTION IN THE WORK AND OF THE DIRECTED POSITIVE AFFECTION TO THE WORK. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED FOR 454 PROFESSIONALS OF THE AREA OF THE RETAILING OF NITERÓI, SÃO GONÇALO AND RIO DE JANEIRO, THAT THEY HAD ANSWERED TO SCALE OF SATISFACTION IN THE WORK, TO SCALE OF DIRECTED POSITIVE AFFECTION TO THE WORK AND SCALE OF PERCEPTION OF JUSTICE COLQUITT. THE GOTTEN DATES HAD EVIDENCED THAT (1) THE PERCEPTIONS OF PROCEDURAL, INTERPERSONAL AND DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE POSITIVELY PREDICT THE SATISFACTION IN THE WORK; (2) THE PERCEPTIONS OF DISTRIBUTIVE, PROCEDURAL, INFORMACIONAL AND INTERPERSONAL JUSTICE POSITIVELY PREDICT THE DIRECTED POSITIVE AFFECTION TO THE WORK; (3) AMONGST THE PERCEPTIONS OF ORGANIZACIONAL JUSTICE, THE PERCEPTIONS OF PROCEDURAL JUSTICE ARE THE ONES THAT BETTER PREDICT THE SATISFACTION IN THE WORK; (4) HOW MUCH BIGGER THE AGE, GREATER THE SATISFACTION IN THE WORK. SUCH RESULTS ARE ARGUED TO THE LIGHT OF THE THEORETICAL MODELS AND EMPIRICAL STUDIES THAT HAD GIVEN TO SUPPORT THE RESEARCH. IN THE CONCLUSION SOME SUGGESTIONS ARE SUPPLIED FUTURE RESEARCH AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STRATEGIES DESTINED TO CONTRIBUTE FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF WELL-BEING OF THIS SECTOR OF SERVICE.

ABSTRACT
CONSIDERATING THAT IN INCLUSION PERSPECTIVE, ALL THE STUDENTS LEARN TOGETHER, THIS STUDY PREDOMINANTLY QUANTITATIVE AIMED TO DETERMINE ATTITUDES OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS IN RELATION TO STUDENTS WITH HIGH ACADEMIC SKILLS PROFILE. THIS RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED AT EIGHT INSTITUTIONS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF NILOPOLIS, HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY 80 TEACHERS AND160 STUDENTS OF BOTH SEXES, ALL THE 2ND SEGMENT OF THE FUNDAMENTAL TEACHING, DISTRIBUTED IN SCHOOLS (FOUR PUBLIC AND FOUR PRIVATE). THE STUDY PARTICIPANTS ANSWERED A QUESTIONNAIRE AND A LIKERT SCALE OF ATTITUDES CALLED GENERAL INVENTORY OF ATTITUDES ON SCHOOL INCLUSION (GIASI). AFTER THE QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE DATA, THERE WAS, AMONG OTHER THINGS, MOST TEACHERS SAID THEY HADN’T STUDENTS WITH HA AND, IN THE UNDERGRADUATE, HAD NO ACTIVITY OR DISCIPLINE FOCUSED ON THIS SPECIAL EDUCATION NEED, WAS ALSO VERIFIED THE LACK OF ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE / EXPERIENCES AND ATTITUDES. IN A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES. THIS STUDY HAS BEEN TO EXPAND AND CORROBORATE RESULTS OBTAINED IN STUDIES CONDUCTED IN OTHER COUNTRIES, SINCE IT CONCLUDED THAT THERE ARE DEFICITS OF INFORMATION IN RELATION TO HIGH ABILITY, AND THIS LEADS TO THE FORMATION OF MANY MISCONCEPTIONS. IT IS NECESSARY TO IMPROVE ACCESS FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS INFORMATION AS WELL AS INTENSIFY THE WORK OF CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN SCHOOLS. RECOMMENDED THE REALIZATION OF NEW RESEARCHES IN THIS AREA, AS WELL AS THE ATTITUDES OF STUDENTS (REGULAR) BEFORE THE INCLUSION, SINCE THERE WERE NO NUMERICAL SIGNIFICANT REFERENCES ABOUT THESE TOPICS.

ABSTRACT
THIS ARTICLE BRINGS A REFLECTION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL SKILLS AS THE GREATEST IMPORTANCE TO PROMOTE THE DEVELOPED SOCIAL COMPETENCE IN INDIVIDUALS AND CONSEQUENTLY MORE EFFICIENT IN THEIR SOCIALS AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES. THE PERCEPTION OF THE BELIEF IN ITS SELF-EFFICIENT IS CLOSELY RELATED TO COMPETENT PERFORMANCE OF SOCIAL SKILLS. AIMING TO COMPARE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL SKILLS AND AUTO-EFFICIENCY IN DOCTORS AND NURSES, THIS STUDY, WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF 168 INDIVIDUALS, OF WHOM 82 WERE DOCTORS AND 86 NURSES. THREE INSTRUMENTS WERE USED: SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY – DEL PRETTE E DEL PRETTE (2001), EMPHATHY INVENTORY – FALCONE, FERREIRA, LUZ, FERNANDES, FARIA, D AUGUSTIN, SARDINHA & PINE (2008) AND THE SCALE AND GENERAL PERCEIVED SELF EFFICACY (SCHWARZER & JERUSALEM, 1995 ADAPTED TO BRAZILIAN REALITY BY SOUZA & SOUZA, 2004). THE OBTAINED RESULTS PRESENTED HERE, SHOWS THAT THE SOCIAL SKILLS ARE RELATED WITH SELF EFFICIENCY AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE DOCTORS PRESENTED THE BIGGEST NUMBER OF POSITIVE CORRELATIONS BETWEEN SOCIAL SKILLS AND AUTO-EFFICIENCY, THE NURSES PRESENTED HIGHER SCORES THAN THE DOCTORS. THE RESULTS ALSO SHOWED A SIMILAR SCORE IN BOTH GROUPS FOR A VARIABLE IN SELF-EFFICACY AND THAT THE TRAINING IN MEDICAL STUDIES IMPACT MORE HEAVILY ON SELF EFFICACY BELIEF. AS A CONTRIBUTION, THERE IS A NECESSITY TO CREATE STRATEGIES IN THE UNIVERSITIES THAT COULD CONTRIBUTE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT IN SOCIALS SKILLS IN MEDICAL AND NURSING UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES AND SUGGEST THAT FURTHER RESEARCHES COULD BE TAKEN WITH PATIENTS AND USERS OF HEALTH PLANS TO BE STUDIED RELATED TO PRESCRIBED TREATMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SOCIAL SKILLS OF DOCTORS AND NURSES.

ABSTRACT
THE AIM OF THIS RESEARCH WAS TO ANALYZE THE SOCIAL SKILLS AND INTELLIGENCE RELATIONS OF THE STUDENTS OF THE 2ND. LEVEL OF FUNDAMENTAL TEACHING IN THE TEXTUAL COMPREHENSION. IN THIS STUDY TOOK PART 150 STUDENTS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF SÃO GONÇALO, MARICÁ AND RIO DE JANEIRO MUNICIPALITIES AT THE AGE BETWEEN 11 AND 14 YEARS OLD. THE STUDENTS WERE DIVIDED IN THREE GROUPS ACCORDING TO THE PERFORMANCE IN THE ATP (ACADEMIC TEST OF PERFORMANCE) SUBSCALE OF READING: THE GROUP OF LOWER PERFORMANCE GOT SCORES UP TO 62 POINTS, THE MIDDLE GROUP WITH SCORE FROM 62 TO 68 POINTS AND THE HIGH GROUP WITH SCORE EQUAL OR SUPERIOR TO 69 POINTS. IT WAS USED AS INSTRUMENTS THE ADOLESCENT SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY (ASSI-DEL PRETTE) PROGRESSIVE MATRIXES TEST- RAVEN GENERAL SCALE (1962), TEXTUAL COMPREHENSION TEST THROUGH A TEXT OF RUTH ROCHA, ADAPTED BY MOURA IN 2006 AND THE ‘CLOZE’ TECHNIQUE CREATED BY TAYLOR (1953), WITH A TEXT, PREVIOUSLY USED IN BRAZIL (OLIVEIRA, BUROCHOVICH, & SNTOS, 2007).THE OBTAINED RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE STUDENTS WITH HIGH READING PERFORMANCE PRESENTED HIGHER SCORES OF TEXTUAL COMPREHENSION THAN THE ONES OF LOWER AND MIDDLE PERFORMANCE. THE STUDENTS WITH LESS FLUID INTELLIGENCE PRESENTED WORSE PERFORMANCE IN THE READING AND, THE MORE SOCIALLY COMPETENT IS THE SUBJECT, THE BETTER READING PERFORMANCE IS ACHIEVED. THE STUDY POINTED THAT THE SOCIAL SKILLS AND FLUID INTELLIGENCE ARE VARIABLES THAT INFLUENCE ON THE 2ND LEVEL FUNDAMENTAL TEACHING ADOLESCENTS TEXTUAL COMPREHENSION.

ABSTRACT
THIS RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED IN SCHOOLS WITHIN THE IPASE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SYSTEM LOCATED IN KOSMOS, NORTH OF THE CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO. DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF "RISK- ", OR "CRITICAL AREAS", (AS DEFINED BY THE MUNICIPAL EDUCATIONAL COUNCIL), A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF STUDENTS ARE FROM SUCH AREAS. AN ETHNOGRAPHIC FIELD SURVEY WAS MADE, REVIEWOMG THE INTERFACE BETWEEN PSYCHOLOGY AND EDUCATION, IN ORDER TO IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS AND THE COMMUNITY. AS MOST PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TAKE IN STUDENTS FROM THE NEIGHBORING ‘RISK’ COMMUNITIES, THE SCHOOL BECOMES LINKED TO SUCH SEGREGATED AREAS, OFTEN FOR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL REASONS. WE ANALYZED THE LINK BETWEEN DAILY SCHOOL ROUTINE AND THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THOSE BETWEEN THE SCHOOL AND THE COMMUNITY; HOW RELATIONSHIPS ARE BUILT, REBUILT AND CHANGE THROUGH EXAMINATION OF INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE PRACTICES. THE THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES USED THROUGHOUT THIS STUDY WERE PSYCHOLOGY AND SCHOOLS, THE RESULTS OF RECENT SOCIOLOGY STUDIES FROM SCHOOLS IN CITY SLUMS, CONTRIBUTIONS OF INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS AND ETHNOGRAPHY, WITH EMPHASIS ON THE SCHOOL AREA. THE PRESENT STUDY HAS THE OBJECTIVE OF IDENTIFYING NATURAL SOCIABILITY AND COEXISTENCE BETWEEN COMMUNITY AND SCHOOL - STUDENTS, PARENTS, TEACHERS AND STAFF – STARTING FROM A HISTORICAL DIMENSION, SO ENHANCE FURTHER ANALYSES OF THE COMPLEX SOCIAL REALITY AND IDENTIFY THE NEED FOR FURTHER RESEARCH IN THIS FIELD.

ABSTRACT
THE EMOTIONAL INSTABILITY, IN A REFERENTIAL OF THE BIG FIVE PERSONALITY FACTORS, CAN BE UNDERSTOOD AS A TENDENCY TO EXPERIENCE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS, BEING IN THIS STUDY DEFINED BY THE PRESENTATION OF DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, LOW EMOTIONAL CONTROL, AND IRRITABILITY. THUS, THIS STUDY AIMED TO CREATE AN INSTRUMENT TO MEASURE EMOTIONAL INSTABILITY TO BE USED IN PUBLIC SAFETY AREA AND TO PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF THE SAME. THE FIRST STUDY AIMED AT THE CONSTRUCTION OF IESP AND EVIDENCE PRESENTATION BASED ON THE CONTENT, AS WELL ITS SEMANTIC ANALYSIS. THE SECOND STUDY WAS DIVIDED INTO TWO STAGES. THE FIRST STAGE WAS INTENDED TO PRESENT EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY BASED ON THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF IESP AND THE SECOND STAGE SOUGHT EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY FOR IESP BASED ON EXTERNAL VARIABLES. THE SAMPLE OF THE FIRST STAGE WAS COMPOSED BY OF 1.601 PROFESSIONALS IN THE PUBLIC SAFETY AREA OF THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, WITH A MEAN AGE OF 27 YEARS (SD = 4,73), RANGING BETWEEN 18 AND 55 YEARS. OF THESE TOTAL, 1.278 WERE MEN (79.8%) AND 304 WOMEN (19%). IN THE SECOND STAGE THE CONVERGENT VALIDITY OF THE IESP WITH EFN TEST WAS VERIFIED. THE SAMPLE OF THIS PHASE WAS COMPOSED BY 322 PEOPLE, AND OF THESE, 272 WERE MEN (84.5%) AND 44 WERE WOMEN (13,7%) AGED BETWEEN 19 AND 35 YEARS (M = 26.7, SD = 3, 27). THE STUDIES SHOWED EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF IESP AND PAVED THE WAY FOR NEW RESEARCH PROJECTS THAT FOCUS ON THE INTERFACE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY AREA.

ABSTRACT
THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY IS TO VERIFY WHETHER GRAFFITI HAS CONTRIBUTED AESTHETICALLY TO THE CREATION OF NARRATIVES AND SPEECHES THAT DESTABILIZE THE STATUS QUO. VYGOTSKY’S CONCEPT OF SOCIO-HISTORICAL PSYCHOLOGY HAS BEEN USED TO DEFINE THE HUMAN BEING BASED ON MATERIAL ACTIVITY, OR AN INDIVIDUAL’S INTENTIONAL ACTIONS ON SOCIAL OBJECTS THAT COULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATION OF THEIR OWN SUBJECTIVITY. TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE, WE USED ETHNOGRAPHIC AND PHOTOETHNOGRAPHIC RESEARCH. THE TOOLS USED FOR COLLECTING DATA WERE: TECHNICAL FIELD VISITS, PHOTOGRAPHS, AND TWO TYPES OF INTERVIEWS: ‘LIFE STORY’, DURING THE EXPLORATORY PHASE, AND A SEMI-STRUCTURED ‘FOCUS GROUP’ INTERVIEW, WITH A FOCUSED INTERVIEW SCRIPT. THE DATA COLLECTED WERE ANALYZED THROUGH THE ANALYSIS OF THE SPEECH METHOD, ACCORDING TO FAIRCLOUGH. THE RESULTS WERE COMPARED WITH THREE STAGES RELATED TO RESEARCH OBJECTIVES: URBAN INTERVENTION, CREATIVITY AND STATUS QUO. THE STUDY SHOWED THAT GRAFFITI STIMULATION GO BEYOND THE ARTISTS’ INITIAL CONCEPT, PROVIDING SYNTONIC WAYS OF EXPRESSING SOCIAL REALISM, THE ARCHITECTURE AND EACH OTHER, DELIBERATELY PRODUCING FORMS THAT TEND TO DESTABILIZE CURRENT DOMINANT LOGIC. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT GRAFFITI ARTISTS WORK IN TEAMS AND PRODUCE GRAFFITI COLLECTIVELY, HOWEVER, EACH INDIVIDUAL IS UNIQUE, ATTEMPTING TO ESTABLISH DIALOGUE WITH AND BETWEEN OTHERS: COMMUNITY (SLUMS) AND CITY. THOSE WORKING IN CITIES ATTEMPT TO PRODUCE CONTRASTS WITH SUBJECTIVE PRODUCTION AND CAPITALIST LOGIC DESIGN OF CITY SPACES THAT ARE MERELY FUNCTIONAL AND ECONOMIC. GRAFFITI HAS ALSO GENERATED FORMS OF SOCIAL ENGINEERING, ENHANCING SOCIAL TIES BOTH IN CITIES AND IN VIRTUAL SPACE; GRAFFITI AND GRAFFITI ARTISTS HAVE THUS COLLABORATED ON SEVERAL PROJECTS AS PROMOTERS OF SOCIAL SYNTONIC MODES OF ACTION AND SOLIDARITY, INVENTING NEW FORMS OF LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION THAT CONTRIBUTE TO DEVELOPMENT OF POPULAR CULTURE, THE PRODUCTION OF SUBJECTIVITY AND HETEROGENEOUS LOCAL IMAGERY, CREATING IMAGES AND ACTIONS REPRESENTING REAL DEMOCRACY IN URBAN SPACE.

ABSTRACT
TEAMWORK IS PRESENTED AS A DEMAND TO KEEP UP WITH CHANGES IN THE LABOR MARKET, WHERE ORGANIZATIONS SEEK SURVIVAL FROM THE FORCE COOPERATIVE INTERDEPENDENCE OF THE PARTS, THE SOCIALIZATION OF KNOWLEDGE AND USE OF THE POTENTIAL OF PEOPLE IN PURSUIT OF COMMON GOALS AND SHARED. HOWEVER, LITTLE IS KNOWN OF THE PERCEPTIONS THAT EMPLOYEES HAVE ABOUT TEAMWORK, WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT THIS SUBJECT, WHICH ELEMENTS TO EVOKE THE SAME ADDRESS. THE PRESENT STUDY SOUGHT TO IDENTIFY THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF TEAMWORK IN THREE UNIVERSITIES IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, ONE PUBLIC AND TWO PRIVATE. AN INITIAL RECALL WAS CONDUCTED WITH 134 EMPLOYEES, WHICH INDICATED AND THEN ORDERED THREE TO FIVE WORDS FROM THE WORD "TEAMWORK.”. FOLLOWING, 14 INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED TO EXPLORE THESE RESPONSES DURING THE INVOCATION. THE APPROACH OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS CHOSEN FOR THIS RESEARCH WAS THE STRUCTURAL, ABRIC, DUE TO BE MORE CONTEMPORARY AND ALLOW MORE STRUCTURED ANALYSIS OF THE DATA. THE ANALYSIS WAS SUPPORTED BY EVOC SOFTWARE. THE RESULTS INDICATE 393 WORDS EVOKED, AND 187 DIFFERENT WORDS / PHRASES, WHOSE GROUP LED BY SIMILARITY TO A LIST OF 105 WORDS EVOKED TO TEAMWORK. THE RESULTS INDICATE AS POSSIBLE CENTRAL WORDS - "RESPECT", "UNION" AND "COOPERATION.” A NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL WORDS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED IN PERIPHERAL SYSTEM AND SOME OTHER ZONE AS A CONTRAST. THE RESULTS EVOKED THE WORDS WAS DIFFERENT ACCORDING TO THE DIVISION OF THE GROUP OF RESPONDENTS AMONG THOSE WHO WORK IN A TEAM OR NOT AND ALSO ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SEGMENTATION OF WORK IN PUBLIC OR PRIVATE UNIVERSITY. THE RESULTS WERE DISCUSSED IN LIGHT OF THE LITERATURE AND PRESENTED THE LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF RESEARCH ON WORK TEAMS.

ABSTRACT
THE INTELLIGENCE AS MENTAL INSTANCE HAS A MAJOR PRESENCE IN THE WRITINGS OF PSYCHOLOGY SINCE ITS INCEPTION AND IN MOST AUTHORS. IN THIS PAPER WE PRESENT SOME OF THE MAIN THEORIES THAT DEAL WITH THE SUBJECT, AND THEIR METHODS OF MEASUREMENT AND ASSESSMENT THAT WERE THE BASIS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE INSTRUMENT CALLED ‘TESTE DE INTELIGÊNCIA PARA ADOLESCENTES – TINA’ (INTELLIGENCE TEST FOR TEENS). FIRST WE CONDUCTED A BIBLIOGRAPHIC STUDY OF THEORIES ON INTELLIGENCE, PSYCHOLOGICAL MEASUREMENT AND DISCUSSIONS THAT FOSTER SUCH TOPICS WITHIN PSYCHOLOGY AND SURROUNDING AREAS. IN THE SECOND PART OF THIS STUDY PROCEDURES MINDED CONSTRUCTION, APPLICATION AND ANALYSIS OF TINA, AIMING TO SEEK DATA ABOUT ITS RELEVANCE AS AN INSTRUMENT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL MEASURE BASED ON BOTH THEIR INTERNAL STATISTICAL STRUCTURE AS IN EXTERNAL VARIABLES. THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE OF THE INSTRUMENTS (WE USED 'RAVEN'S PROGRESSIVE MATRICES' AS COMPARATIVE TEST) HAD A SAMPLE OF 315 ADOLESCENTS WITH A MEAN AGE OF 13.48 YEARS (SD = 1.6), FOUR REGIONS OF THE STATE OF RIO JANUARY (NITERÓI AND VICINITY, MOUNTAIN REGION, AND METROPOLITAN AREA CAPITAL) AND WHO WERE ENROLLED IN REGULAR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS PUBLIC OR PRIVATE. OF THESE, 95 (30.1%) WERE ENROLLED IN HIGH SCHOOL AND 220 (69.9%) WERE ENROLLED IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. STUDIES BASED THEORY ITEM RESPONSE THEORY AND CLASSICAL TEST SHOWED EVIDENCE OF VALIDITY OF TINA, BUT THESE ARE PROVING VERY GERM, WHICH INDICATES TO FURTHER WORK WITH LARGER SAMPLE AND THAT THE FUTURE CAN ANSWER ABOUT WHICH VARIABLE (AGE X SCHOOLING) HAS A GREATER INFLUENCE ON THE MEASUREMENT OF INTELLIGENCE OF ADOLESCENTS.

ABSTRACT
THIS WORK AIMS TO ANALYZE THE ACTUAL EDUCATIVE PRACTICES OF SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS WHEN DEALING WITH AUTISTIC CHILDREN, TO ESTABLISH HOW THIS CONDITION IS SEEN BY EDUCATORS. FOUR ANALYSIS CRITERIONS, DECIDED FROM LITERATURE AND DEBATES WITH EDUCATION PROFESSIONALS, WERE USED: THE FORMATION OF TEACHERS, ORIENTATION AND FAMILY GUIDANCE, KNOWLEDGE OF THE PUBLIC POLICIES ON EDUCATIONAL INCLUSION AND THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY EQUIPS’ PARTICIPATION IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS. THE RESEARCH WAS DONE IN FOUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, (ONE OF THEM, A PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THE GRANDE RIO MUNICIPALITY) ALL OF WHICH ARE CONSIDERED INCLUSIVE. AN EXPLORATORY STUDY WAS ALSO CONDUCTED WITH THREE SOCIAL MOVEMENTS THAT FIGHT FOR THE INCLUSION OF AUTISTIC CHILDREN AND TEENS, ON DIFFERENT ASPECTS. WE CONCEPTUALIZE AUTISM, IN ITS MANY MANIFESTATIONS, AS WELL AS THE DIALECTIC THAT EXISTS WITHIN THE INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION PROCESSES. SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH TEACHERS, OTHER SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND ACTIVISTS, AS WELL AS PARTICIPANT OBSERVATION, DONE IN THE CLASSROOMS OF THE PLACES BEFORE MENTIONED. THE INTENT IS TO, WITH THIS RESEARCH, IDENTIFY AND UNDERSTAND WHICH SCHOOL PRACTICES HAVE TO BE MORE INTEGRATIVE AND INCLUSIVE, TO BETTER ATTEND TO THE NEEDS OF THESE CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS, REAFFIRMING THE RIGHT OF GOOD EDUCATION TO ALL. THIS WORK ALSO WISHES TO SHOW THE RELEVANCE OF THE SOCIAL INITIATIVES TO GENERATE MORE KNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES IMPOSED BY AUTISM.

ABSTRACT
IN TODAY´S WORLD IT IS UNQUESTIONABLE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TOPIC CREATIVITY, BOTH WITHIN EDUCATIONAL AND BUSINESS FIELDS, IN WHICH CREATIVITY MAY AND SHOULD BE DEVELOPED, BY OFFERING A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT TO THIS DEVELOPMENT, AND PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR CREATIVE CHANCES. CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY CALLS FOR CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE PEOPLE, WHO ACCEPT NEW CHALLENGES ADAPTING THEMSELVES TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES, NEW JOBS AND EVERYDAY SITUATIONS. THE TRADITIONAL SYSTEM OF EDUCATION TENDS TO ENHANCE THE STUDENT THAT SHOWS PASSIVE AND OBEDIENT MORE THAN THOSE WHO SHOW CURIOUS AND INQUISITIVE. THUS, FEW THINGS ARE DONE IN BRINGING STUDENT TO THINK CREATIVELY AND CRITICALLY. THE PRESENT WORK AIMS TO VERIFY THE EFFECTS OF A CREATIVE ACTIVITIES PROGRAM PERFORMED IN TEN MEETINGS, AS A STRATEGY, TO STIMULATE THE EXPRESSION OF CREATIVE THINKING IN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS; APPLYING THE TEST AND RE-TEST: “BRAZILIAN VERSION OF FIGURAL CREATIVITY THINKING (WECHSLER 2004)” AND VERIFY BY COMPARISON ANY IMPROVEMENT OR NOT AT 4 AMONG 13 SURVEYED ITEMS . THIS STUDY WAS CARRIED OUT IN TWO PRIVATE SCHOOLS, BOTH LOCATED IN TIJUCA, CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO, COMPARES THE AVERAGE OBTAINED IN TEST AND RE-TEST, WHERE TWENTY THREE STUDENTS FOR TEST AND ELEVEN STUDENTS FOR RETEST, IN ADDITION, A FOCAL GROUP WAS CONDUCTED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE DATA COLLECTED FROM THE CREATIVITY PROGRAM PERFORMED. WE COULD VERIFY THAT IN THIS STUDY THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN THE AVERAGE OF CHARACTERISTICS (FLUENCY, FLEXIBILITY, ELABORATION AND ORIGINALITY), WHICH WE ELECTED TO BE ANALYZED. THIS WORK INTENDED TO INCREASE THE CREATIVITY OF STUDENTS BASED ON THE RESULTS, BY OFFERING THIS SPECIFIC PROGRAM WITH CREATIVE ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS OFFERING A GREAT CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY FIELD.

ABSTRACT
THE PRESENT STUDY CONSISTS OF A THEORETICAL REVIEW OF THE CONCEPT OF RESILIENCE TO WIDEN THE DISSEMINATION AND IMPORTANCE OF THE SUBJECT PROPOSING TO INVESTIGATE AND IDENTIFY THE RESILIENT IN TWO HUNDRED TEACHERS FROM 1ST TO 5TH YEAR OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND CONTRIBUTE TO BE THE ENRICHMENT CAPACITY RESILIENT THESE TEACHERS . THE CONCEPT OF RESILIENCE REFERS TO PEOPLE WHO CAN LIVE WELL, UTILIZING THE FLEXIBILITY AND CREATIVITY EVEN STRUGGLING. THIS RESEARCH SEEKS TO SHOW AN INDEX OF ONE OR MORE FACTORS THAT CONSTITUTE RESILIENCE. AS A TOOL, WE USED THE QUESTIONNAIRE DEVELOPED BY MIKE MILSTEIN (HENDERSON AND MILSTEIN, 2003), CONTAINING THIRTY QUESTIONS ARE FORMULATED ACCORDING TO WHAT YOU WANT TO SEARCH, TO IDENTIFY THE LEVEL OF STAGNATION OF TEACHERS IN THREE CATEGORIES: CONTENT (THE WORK HAS A ROUTINE), STRUCTURE (FEELING THAT THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADVANCEMENT OR GROWTH) AND LIFE (FEELING THAT LIFE IS TOO PREDICTABLE OR UNSATISFACTORY). THE EXISTENCE OF THE RESILIENT TEACHERS IN THE SAMPLED INDIVIDUALS WAS IDENTIFIED WHEN THE RESULTS FROM THE SUM OF SCORES, PRESENTED WITH LOWER AVERAGES NUMERICALLY. FOR HENDERSON AND MILSTEN (2005), THE LOWER THE RATE OF STAGNATION GREATER PRESENCE OF THE RESILIENT FEATURES THE TEACHER. THE RESULTS SHOWED THE PRESENCE OF THE RESILIENT IN CATEGORIES A (CONTENT), B (STRUCTURE) AND C (LIFE) DIFFERENTLY IN EACH SCHOOL STUDIED. HOWEVER, THE FREQUENCY WITH WHICH THE CATEGORY B (STRUCTURE) APPEARS, SHOWING MEANS NUMERICALLY SMALL, THOSE RESULTS INDICATE A LOWER RATE OF STAGNATION IN THIS CATEGORY LEADING US TO CONCLUDE THAT THERE IS A GREATER PRESENCE IN THE CATEGORY OF THE RESILIENT CITED. HOWEVER, STATISTICAL ANALYSIS INDICATED THAT THE SAMPLE SURVEYED IS SIGNIFICANT IN A STATE OF STAGNATION HAD LESS RESILIENT CHARACTERISTICS. THE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED WITH TEACHERS WORKING IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS OF THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO.

ABSTRACT
TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES SERVE TWO PURPOSES: THE DEMANDS OF A SOCIETY THAT INCREASINGLY REQUIRES SKILLED LABOR AND THE NEEDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE TO BUILD THEIR IDENTITY AS WORKERS. IN BRAZIL, THE LACK OF SKILLED LABOR IS ASSOCIATED WITH LOW EDUCATION AND POOR ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION, AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES GROW IN PROPORTION TO YEARS OF STUDY. IN THAT SENSE, IT IS WORTH CONSIDERING ADDRESSING THE VOCATIONAL EDUCATIONAL AND SOCIAL CONTEXTS. DOES THE SOCIAL SKILLS CONTRIBUTE TO ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE? IS THERE DIFFERENT PERFORMANCE BETWEEN STUDENTS WHO STUDY IN MAINSTREAM EDUCATION AND THOSE WHO ADD TO THIS STAGE ALSO THE TRAINING? LABOR'S MAIN CURRENT RESEARCH INTEREST TO ANALYZE THE POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS OF SOCIAL SKILLS ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS IN REGULAR HIGH SCHOOL AND IN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO THE DISCIPLINES, WHICH ADDS INTEGRATED PART OF REGULAR TRAINING. BRIEFLY WE CAN SAY THAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO INVESTIGATE ESPECIALLY THE INFLUENCE OF COPING SKILLS WITH RISK, SELF-ASSERTION IN THE EXPRESSION OF POSITIVE AFFECT, TALKING AND SELF, SELF-EXPOSURE TO UNKNOWN OR NEW SITUATIONS AND SELF-CONTROL OF AGGRESSIVENESS IN AVERSIVE SITUATIONS ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF YOUNG HIGH SCHOOL AND INTEGRATED. TO MEET THIS RESEARCH PROPOSAL WAS A STUDY WITH DATA COLLECTION IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND REGULAR SCHOOLS FOR INTEGRATED EDUCATION (HIGH SCHOOL AND TECHNICAL-VOCATIONAL). THE GEOGRAPHICAL SCOPE OF THE RESEARCH INCLUDED THE METROPOLITAN AREA OF THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. WE EVALUATED THE POSSIBLE DIFFERENCES IN SOCIAL SKILLS OF BOTH GROUPS (REGULAR EDUCATION AND INCLUSIVE EDUCATION) AND THE POSSIBLE INFLUENCE OF THESE VARIABLES ON SCHOOL PERFORMANCE. TO MINIMIZE THE DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN THE GROUPS ON SOCIAL CLASS, INCOME AND REGIONAL CULTURE, THE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED IN TWO PUBLIC SCHOOLS LOCATED IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD AND SERVING AN AUDIENCE WITH THE SAME SOCIOECONOMIC PROFILE. DATA COLLECTION WAS PERFORMED A TOTAL OF 308 STUDENTS WHO COMPLETED THE INVENTORY OF SOCIAL SKILLS FOR TEENS - IHSA. THE NOTES RELATING TO THE PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS WAS OBTAINED FROM THE SECRETARIAT OF THE SCHOOLS AND WERE ASSURED CONFIDENTIALITY WITH REGARD BOTH TO INDIVIDUAL NOTES ON THE OUTCOME OF EACH STUDENT IN THE IHSA. WERE CONSIDERED FOR THE COMPOSITION OF SCHOOL PERFORMANCE SCORES OF PORTUGUESE AND MATHEMATICS FOR EACH STUDENT. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS IN REGULAR EDUCATION AND INTEGRATED EDUCATION, THE LATTER HAVING THE HIGHEST AVERAGE IN BOTH PORTUGUESE AND MATHEMATICS. WITH RESPECT TO SOCIAL SKILLS, THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE CONVERSATION AND SOCIAL RESOURCEFULNESS (FREQUENCY) AND SELF-CONTROL OF AGGRESSIVENESS IN AVERSIVE SITUATIONS CONTRIBUTED TO EXPLAIN THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. THESE RESULTS WERE DISCUSSED IN LIGHT OF THE REVIEWED LITERATURE, HAVING BEEN FOUND IN CORRESPONDENCE WITH OTHER STUDIES ON SOCIAL SKILLS. THEY DISCUSSED ISSUES THAT MUST BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT BY PUBLIC POLICY FOR HIGH SCHOOL, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE RESULTS OF THIS SEARCH.

ABSTRACT
THIS RESEARCH REPORT DEALS WITH EDUCATIONAL INCLUSION. THIS THEME HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF NATIONAL CONCERN AND DISCUSSION IN RECENT YEARS. THE AIM OF THIS PAPER IS TO PRESENT RESEARCH FINDINGS ABOUT THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF "EDUCATIONAL INCLUSION," SEEKING TO CAPTURE THE MEANINGS THAT THE TERM “INCLUSION‟ HAD TO TEACHERS IN UNDERGRADUATE TRAINING IN MATHEMATICS AND MATH TEACHERS WHO WORK IN REGULAR EDUCATION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. THE THEORETICAL UNDERPINNING THIS RESEARCH IS THE THEORY OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS, PROPOSED BY MOSCOVICI, WHICH WE CONSIDER AN APPROPRIATE REFERENCE FOR ANALYZING THE FORMATION OF SOCIAL THOUGHT AND THE RELATIONS THAT GUIDE CONDUCT. THE IDENTIFICATION OF THESE REPRESENTATIONS ALLOWS DEFINING THE MEMBERSHIP OF THESE GROUPS OF TEACHERS IN A GIVEN SOCIOCULTURAL REALITY, CREATING AND DISSEMINATING CERTAIN BELIEFS, VALUES, CONCEPTS, SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT GREATLY INFLUENCE THE PROCESS OF CONSTITUTION AND SEIZURE OF REPRESENTATIONAL OBJECTS. THE INSTRUMENTS OF DATA COLLECTION WERE QUESTIONNAIRES, FROM A SCREENPLAY WITH SEMISTRUCTURED QUESTIONS, AND INTERVIEWS. THE DATA COLLECTED WAS ANALYZED FROM THE DISCOURSE ANALYSES AND SEMANTIC NETWORKS PERSPECTIVES WITH THE SUPPORT OF SOFTWARE ATLAS.TI. THUS WE WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATION OF "EDUCATIONAL INCLUSION" FOR THE GROUP OF TEACHERS AND TEACHERS TO BE, WHO ULTIMATELY REPRESENTED THE "INADEQUACY OF ACADEMIC TRAINING AND DAILY PRACTICE." THE RESEARCH QUESTION THIS TYPE OF ARGUMENTATION COMMON IN THE RESEARCHED UNIVERSE AND LAUNCHES NEW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INVESTIGATED MATTER, EMPHASIZING THE NEED TO REVIEW CONCEPTS, BELIEFS, AGRÉMENTS AND REPRESENTATIONS THAT, OVER THE YEARS, HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED AND CRYSTALLIZED IN THE SCHOOL CONTEXT, MOSTLY IN MATH COURSES. BASED ON THE RESULTS IT WAS POSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE OR ARE OBSTACLES TO EDUCATIONAL INCLUSION AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR MATHEMATICS TEACHING QUALITY.

ABSTRACT
THE NEED FOR WELL PREPARED PROFESSIONALS TO FULFILL SOCIAL DEMANDS FOR SPECIALIZED SERVICES HAS RESULTED IN GREATER INVESTMENTS IN EDUCATION, ESPECIALLY IN HIGHER EDUCATION; NEVERTHELESS, ORGANIZATIONS IN CHARGE OF TRAINING FUTURE PROFESSIONALS ARE WORRIED ABOUT SIGNIFICANT DROPOUT RATES. THIS ESSAY SEEKS TO ASSESS VARIABLES THAT AFFECT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE (AND THUS MAKE STUDENTS QUIT THEIR CHOSEN FIELD) BY STUDYING CORRELATIONS BETWEEN INTELLIGENCE, SOCIAL SKILLS, AND ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS AND HOW SUCH FACTORS AFFECT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN THEIR FIRST YEAR. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF 196 STUDENTS (156 WOMEN AND 40 MEN) AGED 17 TO 59. THERE WERE USED BPR-5’S ABSTRACT REASONING (AR) TESTS, THE IHS-DEL-PRETTE SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY, AND THE ACADEMIC INVOLVEMENT QUESTIONNAIRE’S (QEA) EXPECTATIONS FORM. RESULTS SHOWED SOCIAL SKILLS, ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS, AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE TO BE RELATED. INTELLIGENCE, HOWEVER, WAS RELATED NEITHER TO ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE NOR TO SOCIAL SKILLS.

ABSTRACT
THE CUSTOMER SERVICE SYSTEMS ARE THE LINK BETWEEN THE ORGANIZATION AND CUSTOMERS AND SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD AS A STRATEGIC TOOL. HOWEVER, THE LACK OF PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATION OF OPERATORS AND SUPERVISORS OF CALL CENTERS IS A FACT THAT HAS BROUGHT MANY IMPLICATIONS FOR PEOPLE'S LIVES. THIS STUDY AIMED TO IDENTIFY THE PERCEIVED TRAINING NEEDS OF CALL CENTER SUPERVISORS AND AND THE POSSIBLE INFLUENCE OF AGE, EDUCATION, LENGTH OF SERVICE TIME AS A SUPERVISOR AND MOTIVATION TO LEARN ABOUT THE PERCEIVED NEED FOR TRAINING. THE STUDY ALSO AIMED TO VERIFY THE POSSIBLE DIFFERENCE IN THE IMPACT OF TRAINING ON WORK OF SUPERVISORS WHO PARTICIPATE IN TRAINING ACTIVITIES BY VOLUNTARY ACT OR BY ORDER OF THE HEAD. TO THAT END, IT WAS INVESTIGATED A SAMPLE OF 251 SUPERVISORS FROM A COMPANY CALL CENTER LOCATED IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO, WITH 251 RESPONDENTS REPLIED TO THE ANALYSIS TOOL FOR TRAINING NEEDS AND MOTIVATION FOR LEARNING AND 161 ANSWERED THE IMPACT OF JOB TRAINING. QUESTIONNAIRES WERE ADMINISTERED IN PERSON, BEFORE THE TRAINING AND ABOUT 30 TO 60 DAYS AFTER COMPLETION. THE RESULTS POINT TO THE PREDICTION OF MOTIVATION TO LEARN AND ALSO THE PERCEPTION OF IMPORTANCE AND SKILLS COURSE ON THE GENERAL PERCEPTION OF TRAINING NEEDS. IT ALSO ALLOWS CONCLUDING THAT WORKERS WHO PERCEIVE THE EVENT AS TRAINING FOR VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION TEND TO PERCEIVE GREATER IMPACT OF SUCH EVENTS AT WORK THAN THOSE WHO PERCEIVE PARTICIPATION AS REQUIRED BY MANAGEMENT. THE RESULTS OF THIS STUDY CORROBORATE OTHER FINDINGS IN THE AREA AND SUGGEST A RESEARCH AGENDA FOR CONTINUING RESEARCH ON THE SUBJECT.

ABSTRACT
THIS DISSERTATION AIMS AT DISCUSSING THE ROLE AND THE FUTURE OF DISTANCE EDUCATION IN BRAZIL THROUGH THE PERSPECTIVES OF SUPERIOR PRIVATE TEACHING ACADEMICIANS’ SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS. THUS, INSTRUMENTS WERE ELABORATED IN A QUESTIONNAIRE FORM AND APPLIED ON A PILOT STUDY FIRST AND, THEN, TO SIXTY FIVE PROFESSORS OF ESTÁCIO DE SÁ UNIVERSITY (UNESA), WHERE THIRTY FIVE OF THEM ARE ALREADY TEACHING IN THE DISTANCE MODALITY AND THIRTY STILL TEACH IN THE CONVENTIONAL FORM. THE THEORETICAL REFERENCE FOR THIS STUDY IS BASED ON A MULTIPLE CONTEXT PANORAMA; THE SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORY OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS (MOSCOVICI, 1976) WHICH, ACCORDING TO SÁ (1998), COMPRISES SO FAR, THREE COMPLEMENTARY AND NOT CONFLICTING THEORETICAL CURRENTS BY DOISE (1984), JODELET (1985) AND ABRIC (1994) PERSPECTIVES. THE DATA ANALYSIS FROM BOTH INSTRUMENTS WAS DONE THROUGH SEVERAL STEPS FOR TENOR ANALYSIS, ACCORDING TO BARDIN (1977). THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE PROFESSORS’ SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS FOR DE ARE ASSOCIATED TO THE INFORMATION DEMOCRACY IDEA, TECHNOLOGY INSERTION, PARTICULARLY THE ICTS, WHAT MAKES THE ENLARGEMENT OF THE ACCESS OF FORMATIVE COURSES POSSIBLE AND ALSO THE FUTURE IDEA OF DE EXCLUSIVELY LINKED TO THE APPRENTICESHIP SPHERE.

ABSTRACT
THE QUOTAS THAT EXIST IN BRAZIL ARE DRIVEN TO SOLVE SOME KIND OF HISTORICALLY DENIED ACCESS TO CERTAIN SOCIAL GROUPS. THIS WORK WAS BASED SPECIFICALLY ON THE DISCUSSION OF RACIAL QUOTAS THAT ALL EXISTENCE, IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL AND THAT CAUSES THE MOST CONTRADICTIONS. A PHENOMENON THAT LEADS TO CONFLICTS OF IDENTITY WITH A STRONG APPEAL FOR CERTAIN GROUPS HAS ENORMOUS POTENTIAL TO BE WORKING WITH THE THEORY OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS PROPOSED BY SERGE MOSCOVICI. THIS AUTHOR INVITES US TO REFLECT ON THE KNOWLEDGE GENERATED ABOUT OBJECTS IN EVERYDAY SOCIAL UNKNOWNS AND, THEREFORE, CHALLENGING. THUS, THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO IDENTIFY SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE RACIAL QUOTA SYSTEM IN RIO DE JANEIRO FROM THE DISCOURSE OF QUOTA STUDENTS 51 AND 50 STUDENTS NOT SHAREHOLDERS OF TWO PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES. THE AUTHOR INVITES US TO REFLECT ON THE KNOWLEDGE GENERATED ABOUT OBJECTS IN EVERYDAY SOCIAL UNKNOWNS AND, THEREFORE, CHALLENGING. WE USE INTERVIEWS WITH FREE RECALL TASKS AND SEMISTRUCTURED QUESTIONS. THE RESULTS SHOW IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES IN SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS BETWEEN THE GROUPS IN TERMS OF HOW THEY POSITION THEMSELVES IN RELATION RACIALS QUOTAS. THE SHAREHOLDERS ARE FAVORABLE AND THE NOT SHAREHOLDERS ARE UNFAVORABLE. BOTH BELIEVE THAT QUOTAS SHOULD BE PRIMARILY SOCIAL, THEY SAY NOT TO SUFFER PREJUDICE AND AGREE THAT A SOLUTION TO THE QUOTAS IS TO IMPROVE PUBLIC EDUCATION IN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SEGMENTS.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY INVESTIGATED PREDICTORS THAT INFLUENCE OLDER WORKERS IN RETIREMENT DECISION, ESPECIALLY ABOUT THEIR INFLUENCE ON POSTPONE IT AND STAY ACTIVE FOR LONGER IN THE SAME ORGANIZATION. WE ANALYZED THE PREDICTION IN RETIREMENT DECISION BY THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLES I) SUBJECTIVE LIFE EXPECTANCY; II) CAREER COMMITMENT; III) PERCEIVED WORK; IV) HOUR FLEXIBILITY; AND V)CONTROL OVER WORK TO POSTPONE RETIREMENT, BRIDGE EMPLOYMENT, A JOB THAT HAS TIME AFTER HIS BREAK WITH THE FORMAL STRUCTURE OF WORK AND FULL RETIREMENT. THE QUANTITATIVE STUDY WAS CONDUCTED WITH 148 PUBLIC SERVANTS WITH MEDIUM OR HIGHER LEVEL EDUCATION, AGE EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 45 YEARS, WHO WORK INTO AN AGENCY OF THE MINISTRY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (MCT) LOCATED IN RIO DE JANEIRO. THE DESCRIPTIVE RESULTS OF THE SAMPLE SHOWED THAT ALMOST A THIRD ARE MORE FAVORABLE TO DELAY THEIR RETIREMENT, APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THEM OPTED FOR BRIDGE EMPLOYMENT AND ONE-FIFTH OPTED FOR FULL RETIREMENT. FROM THE RESULTS OF MULTIPLE LOGISTIC REGRESSION WE CONCLUDE THAT THE AGE, A MORE POSITIVE PERCEPTION OF WORK, FLEXIBILITY HOURS AND GREATER WORK CONTROL ARE PREDICTORS WHICH INFLUENCE THE DECISION TO POSTPONE RETIREMENT AND CONTINUE IN THE SAME ORGANIZATION. THESE CONCLUSIONS ADDRESSED TO SOME MEASURES THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN BY ORGANIZATION WHO WANTED TO KEEP THEIR OLDER WORKERS PRODUCTIVE, STIMULATING THEIR SATISFACTION, OFFERING CONTROL AND FLEXIBILITY OVER THEIR WORK, AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORK-LIFE BALANCE.

ABSTRACT
BASING ON THE THEORETICAL MODEL OF GOUVEIA (2003), REFERRING TO THE PERSONAL VALUES, ON PORTO AND PILATI (2010), AS REGARDS THE WORK VALUES, AND ON SIQUEIRA (2008) GUIDE’S FOR THE STUDY OF THE JOB SATISFACTION, THE PRESENT RESEARCH HAD LIKE GENERAL OBJECTIVE INVESTIGATED THE PREDICTOR VALUE OF THE PERSONAL VALUES (PERSONAL, CENTRAL AND SOCIAL) AND OF THE WORK VALUES (STIMULATION, SECURITY, REALIZATION, UNIVERSALISM AND BENEVOLENCE, POWER, SELF-DETERMINATION AND AGREEMENT) ON DIMENSIONS OF THE JOB SATISFACTION (SATISFACTION WITH THE SALARY, SATISFACTION WITH THE COLLEAGUES, SATISFACTION WITH THE LEADERSHIP, SATISFACTION WITH THE PROMOTION AND SATISFACTION WITH HIS OWN JOB). THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED BY 297 PROFESSIONALS OF THE AREA OF NURSING, WHO RESPONDED TO THE SCALE OF PERSONAL VALUES (EVP), OF GOUVEIA (2003), TO THE REVISED SCALE OF RELATIVE VALUES TO THE WORK (EVT-R), OF PORTO AND PILATI (2010), AND TO THE SCALE OF JOB SATISFACTION (EST), OF SIQUEIRA (2008). THE RESULTS REVEALED WHAT: (1) HOW MUCH MORE IMPORTANCE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO THE PERSONAL CENTRAL VALUE AND TO POWER AND AGREEMENT, MAJOR DEGREE OF SATISFACTION WITH HIS OWN JOB; (2) HOW MUCH MORE IMPORTANCE WAS GIVEN TO THE WORK VALUE SECURITY, LOWER DEGREE OF SATISFACTION WITH HIS OWN JOB; (3) HOW MUCH MORE WAS VALUED POWER AND AGREEMENT, MAJOR WILL BE THE SATISFACTION WITH THE PROMOTION; (4) HOW MUCH MORE IMPORTANCE WAS GIVEN TO SECURITY, LOWER THE DEGREE OF SATISFACTION WITH THE PROMOTION; (5) HOW MUCH MORE THE PERSONS VALUE AGREEMENT, MAJOR SATISFACTION WITH THE LEADERSHIP; (6) HOW MUCH MORE THE PERSONS VALUE AGREEMENT, MAJOR SATISFACTION WITH THE COLLEAGUES; (7) HOW MUCH MORE IMPORTANCE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO POWER AND AGREEMENT, MAJOR SATISFACTION WITH THE SALARY; (8) HOW MUCH MORE IMPORTANCE WAS GIVEN TO THE PERSONAL DIMENSION OF THE PERSONAL VALUES AND TO THE WORK VALUE SECURITY, LOWER WILL BE THE SATISFACTION WITH THE SALARY. SUCH RESULTS WERE DISCUSSED BY THE LIGHT OF THE THEORETICAL REFERENTIAL SYSTEMS THAT GAVE SUPPORT TO THE INQUIRY. LIKE CONCLUSION, SOME SUGGESTIONS WERE ASSOCIATED TO THE CAPTURE OF STRATEGIC DECISIONS DESTINED CONTRIBUTING TO THE JOB SATISFACTION OF THE EMPLOYEES OF THE INVESTIGATED ENTERPRISE.

ABSTRACT
THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE LINKS BETWEEN INTELLIGENCE, SOCIAL SKILLS AND SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION IN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. 289 (163 MALE AND 126 FEMALE) ADOLESCENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE RESEARCH, ALL TWELFTH-GRADE STUDENTS, ENROLLED IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE 2009 ENEM. THEY LIVE IN THE URBAN REGIONS OF THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, WITH AN AVERAGE AGE OF 17,5 YEARS. THE STUDENTS WERE DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS. THE FIRST GROUP WAS CHOSEN FROM THE SCHOOLS WITH A HIGHER AVERAGE SCORE IN THE ENEM 2009 (BETWEEN 590,5 AND 730,6) AND THE SECOND GROUP WAS CHOSEN FROM THE SCHOOLS WITH A LOWER AVERAGE SCORE IN THE SAME EVALUATION (BETWEEN 401,11 AND 508,36). THE SCORES IN EACH TEST VARIABLE WERE LINKED AND COMPARED BETWEEN THE GROUPS. THE FOLLOWING TEST INSTRUMENTS WERE USED: ABSTRACT REASONING TEST (RA) FROM THE BPR-5 TEST BATTERY; ADOLESCENT SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY (IHSA-DEL-PRETTE); AND THE BECKER DEPRESSION INVENTORY (BDI). THE RESULTS COLLECTED FROM THE VARIABLES SHOW MANY POSITIVE CORRELATIONS BUT WEAK SUCH AS: SOCIAL SKILLS AND INTELLIGENCE BASED ON EMPATHY (R=0,277; P<0,001), ON SELF-CONTROL (R=0,217; P<0,001), ON CIVILITY (R=0,277; P<0,001), ON ASSERTIVENESS (R=0,199; P<0,001) AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT (R=0,233; P<0,001). THE RESULTS ALSO SHOWED WEAK NEGATIVE CORRELATIONS WITH THE SELF-CONTROL AND DEPRESSION SOCIAL SKILL (R= -0,128; P=0,030) INDICATING THAT THE SCHOOLS WITH LOWER SCORES IN THIS SUB-SCALE SHOWED MORE SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION. THE COMPARISON BETWEEN THE GROUPS USING THE SAME VARIABLES SHOW MANY SIGNIFICANT RESULTS, SUCH AS: HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENTS ENROLLED IN SCHOOLS WITH HIGHER APPROVAL RATINGS IN THE UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE EXAM SHOWED HIGHER INTELLIGENCE SCORES THAN THE STUDENTS ENROLLED IN OTHER SCHOOLS (T=7,076; P<0,001). IN CONCLUSION, MODERN ADOLESCENTS ARE ADAPTING TO SITUATIONAL ADVERSITY THROUGH SOCIAL INTERACTION. THEY ARE MANAGING TO CONFRONT ADULT SOCIAL CHALLENGES, SUCH AS ACCEPTANCE INTO UNIVERSITIES OR THE WORKPLACE, WITHOUT EMOTIONAL DAMAGE.

ABSTRACT
THE GREAT CHALLENGE OF EDUCATION IS THE TRAINING OF CRITICAL, REFLECTIVE, SENSITIVE AND RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS, WHICH BUILDS IN A CONSTANT PROCESS OF LEARNING TO LEARN. IN THIS PROCESS, ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PHENOMENA OF CONTEMPORARY EDUCATION IS LINKED TO THE EDUCATION OF CITIZENS. IN THIS SENSE, TO REFLECT UPON THE INTERFERENCE AND INFLUENCE OF THE TEACHER AS A READER IN THIS CONTEXT IS REGARDED AS A KEY AND VALUABLE ASPECT IN THE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS. FOR THIS STUDY IT WAS OBSERVED AND ANALYZED THE ACTIONS OF TEACHER AS A READER AND HOW THESE READING EXPERIENCES MAY INFLUENCE THE PRACTICES OF TEACHING READING TO THEIR STUDENTS. THUS, THIS STUDY HAS AS MAIN OBJECTIVE TO TRACE A THEORETICAL DISCUSSION ABOUT THE PROFILE OF THE TEACHER AS A READER AND THE INFLUENCE OF TEACHERS' READING PRACTICES OF THE NITEROI COUNTY TEACHER’S TEACHING OF LITERACY. STUDIES OF SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY ARE REVIEWED THAT DEMONSTRATE THAT TEACHER-STUDENT INTERACTION HAS A KEY ROLE IN CHILDREN’S SCHOOL PERFORMANCE. IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE MORE RECENT GRADUATED TEACHERS CARRIED OUT MORE LITERACY TASKS. HOWEVER, THE EFFECT OF TEACHER’S READING PRACTICES, AS MEASURED BY THIS STUDY, WAS NOT SIGNIFICANT. THE PRACTICES OF TEACHING READING AND WRITING AND THE STUDENT TEACHER RELATIONSHIP IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF READING HABITS ARE DISCUSSED IN THE LIGHT OF THE THEORIES REVIEWED.

THIS WILL BE DONE THROUGH A SURVEY WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO KNOW THE PREDOMINANT LEADERSHIP STYLE IN AN INDUSTRY AND VERIFY THAT THE PERCEPTION OF THE STYLE ADOPTED BY THEIR IMMEDIATE INFLUENCE ON THE IMPACT OF TRAINING ON THE JOB BEHAVIOR OF THEIR SUBORDINATES. TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL, WE PERFORMED A CROSS-SECTIONAL RESEARCH WITH 280 EMPLOYEES AND 58 IMMEDIATE SUPERVISORS OF EMPLOYEES IN AN INDUSTRY LOCATED IN THE SOFT STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK THAT SUPPORTS THE RESEARCH OF LEADERSHIP WAS THE PROPOSAL OF SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP BY HERSEY AND BLANCHARD (1982). AS A CONTROL VARIABLE WAS INCLUDED TO SUPPORT THE TRANSFER, SINCE THERE ARE CONSISTENT INDICATIONS OF THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE IMPACT OF TRAINING. THE SURVEY RESULTS SHOWED THAT PERCEPTIONS OF TEAM MEMBERS, THEIR LEADERS ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH PRODUCTION THAN WITH PEOPLE, THE PREVAILING STYLE OF LEADERSHIP "DELEGATE", CHARACTERIZED BY LOW CONCERN FOR PRODUCTION AND PEOPLE AND LEADERSHIP CONSIDERS THAT MATURE SUBORDINATES TO WORK. THE STYLE OF LEADERSHIP "PERSUADE" WAS ALSO VERY PRESENT IN THE INDUSTRY RESEARCHED AND IS CHARACTERIZED BY HIGH CONCERN FOR PRODUCTION AND PEOPLE AND LEADERSHIP THAT BELIEVES A LITTLE MATURE SUBORDINATES. WE FOUND SIGNIFICANT AND POSITIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE LEADERSHIP'S CONCERN WITH PEOPLE AND THE LEADERSHIP'S CONCERN WITH THE PRODUCTION AND THE IMPACT OF TRAINING ON THE JOB. HOWEVER, ONLY THE PERCEPTION OF LEADERSHIP CONCERNED WITH THE PRODUCTION AS A PREDICTOR CONSISTED OF THE IMPACT OF TRAINING. THE RESULTS WERE DISCUSSED IN LIGHT OF THE LITERATURE REVIEW, HAVE BEEN POINTED SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROFESSIONALS WORKING IN THE AREA.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE PREDICTIVE POWER OF PERSONALITY AND THE COGNITIVE ABILITY (INTELLIGENCE AND FOCUSED ATTENTION), ON THE PERFORMANCE IN THE TRAINING COURSE OF SECURITY AGENTS. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED BY 1177 INDIVIDUALS FROM THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, SELECTED FOR THAT COURSE THROUGH BY TENDER. PARTICIPANTS ANSWERED TO PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS NEO PI-R AND STAXI, TO MEASURE PERSONALITY, AND TIG AND AC TESTS FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF GENERAL INTELLIGENCE AND FOCUSED ATTENTION, RESPECTIVELY. THE MULTIPLE REGRESSION ANALYSIS SHOWED THAT THE HIGHER THE INTELLIGENCE, THE TRAIT OF ANGER, COMPLACENCY, ALTRUISM AND VALUES, HIGHER IS THE PERFORMANCE. IN CONTRAST, THE HIGHER THE WEIGHTING AND THE TEMPER, LOWER IS THE PERFORMANCE IN THE TRAINING COURSE. THESE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED FROM NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES ON THE SUBJECT AND, IN CONCLUSION, SOME SUGGESTIONS ARE DEVELOPED RELATED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERVENTION STRATEGIES THAT ENHANCE THE SELECTIVE PROCESS IN THE CONTEXT OF PUBLIC SAFETY.

ABSTRACT
THIS PRESENT WORK WAS GUIDED BY THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF VERIFYING THE PREDICTIVE POWER OF FOUR INDIVIDUAL VARIABLES (GENDER, AGE, SCHOOLING, AND TIME OF SERVICE AT THE PRESENT JOB) AND FIVE ORGANIZATIONAL VARIABLES (WORK OVERLOAD, ROLE CONFLICT, PRESSURE OF RESPONSIBILITY, LACK OF AUTONOMY, AND INTERPERSONAL DIFFICULTIES) ON THE TREE DIMENSIONS OF BURNOUT (EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION, DEPERSONALIZATION, AND PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENT), IN TECHNICAL-LEVEL FEDERAL EMPLOYEES WHO PERFORM DUTIES DIRECTLY RELATED TO PUBLIC. 250 PUBLIC SERVANTS OF BOTH SEXES PARTICIPATED IN THE SURVEY, WHO WORKED IN FIVE AGENCIES LOCATED IN THE STATES OF RIO DE JANEIRO E PARANÁ, WITH AGES RANGING FROM 23 TO 60 YEARS OLD. DATA COLLECTION WAS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH FIVE SUB-SCALES OF THE SCALE OF SOURCES OF STRESS IN ORGANIZATION ENVIRONMENT, THE MASLACH BURNOUT INVENTORY (MASLACH INVENTORY – HUMAN SERVICES SURVEY – MBI – HSS) AND A SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC QUESTIONNAIRE. THE DATA OBTAINED IN THE MULTIPLE LINEAR HIERARQUICAL REGRESSION ANALYSES SHOWED THAT: (1) THE LOWER THE AGE AND SCHOOLING, THE GREATER THE EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION; (2) THE HIGHER THE TIME OF SERVICE AT CURRENT JOB, WORK OVERLOAD, AND INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP DIFFICULTIES, THE BIGGER THE PROBABILITY OF THE EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCING EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION; (3) THE LOWER THE AGE, SCHOOLING AND LACK OF AUTONOMY, THE GREATER THE DEPERSONALIZATION; (4) THE LONGER THE TIME OF SERVICE AT CURRENT JOB, WORK OVERLOAD, AND THE INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP DIFFICULTIES, THE GREATER THE DEPERSONALIZATION; (5) INDIVIDUALS OF FEMALE GENDER, HIGHER AGE AND SCHOOLING, AND WHO HAVE LESS JOB AUTONOMY DEMONSTRATE HIGH PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENT; (6)WHILE THE INDIVIDUALS SUBMITTED TO GREATER WORK OVERLOAD FEEL LESS ACCOMPLISHMENT PROFESSIONALLY. THE RESULTS WERE DISCUSSED BASED ON THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL STUDIES THAT SUPPORTED THE RESEARCH, AND IN CONCLUSION, WE PRESENTED SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR INTERVENTION STRATEGIES DESIGNED TO CONTRIBUTE TO IMPROVING THE WELFARE OF WORK OF THE SERVERS, AS WELL AS STUDIES THAT CAN CONTINUE WITH THIS LINE OF RESEARCH.

ABSTRACT
BASING ON THE MODEL OF THE DEMAND-CONTROL-SUPPORT KARASEK AND THEORELL (1990), THIS STUDY INVESTIGATED THE PREDICTIVE POWER OF SEVEN SOURCES OF STRESS (DECISION LATITUDE, PSYCHOLOGICAL DEMANDS OF WORK, PHYSICAL DEMANDS OF LABOR, SOCIAL SUPPORT COLLEAGUES, NONSPECIFIC STRESSORS, RELATIONSHIP WITH COLLEAGUES AND JOB INSECURITY) IN JOB SATISFACTION, DEPRESSION AND PSYCHOSOMATIC PROBLEMS WITH THE LAWYERS. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF 702 LAWYERS FROM DIFFERENT REGIONS OF BRAZIL AND ENGAGED IN VARIOUS AREAS OF LAW. DATA COLLECTION WAS EFFECTED BY MEANS OF AN ADAPTED VERSION FROM JOB CONTENT QUESTIONNAIRE (JCQ), ANSWERED IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT. THE RESULTS REVEALED THAT: (1) THE GREATER THE PSYCHOLOGICAL DEMANDS AND JOB INSECURITY, HIGHER RATES OF JOB DISSATISFACTION, DEPRESSION AND PSYCHOSOMATIC PROBLEMS, (2) THE GREATER THE SOCIAL SUPPORT RECEIVED FROM COLLEAGUES, THE LOWER THE RATES OF JOB DISSATISFACTION, DEPRESSION AND PSYCHOSOMATIC PROBLEMS, (3) THE HIGHER THE LATITUDE OF DECISION, THE LOWER THE RATES OF JOB DISSATISFACTION AND DEPRESSION, (4) THE GREATER THE NONSPECIFIC STRESSORS, HIGHER RATES OF DEPRESSION AND PSYCHOSOMATIC PROBLEMS , (5) WOMEN COMPARED TO MEN, TENDED TO HAVE MORE PSYCHOSOMATIC PROBLEMS, (6) YOUNG PROFESSIONALS HAD HIGHER JOB SATISFACTION. THESE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED FROM THE THEORETICAL MODEL THAT SUPPORTED THE RESEARCH AND, IN CONCLUSION, SOME SUGGESTIONS RELATED TO INTERVENTION STRATEGIES WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR REDUCING THE STRESS ON LAWYERS AND A FUTURE RESEARCH AGENDA IN THE AREA.

ABSTRACT
THE PRESENT RESEARCH PRESENTS AS THEMATIC THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS THEORY TO THE STUDY OF THE ROLEPLAYING GAME (RPG), AS A DIDACTIC STRATEGY AT SCHOOL, WITH THE GROUP OF TEACHERS WHO WORK IN THE FIRST SEGMENT OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. IT WAS ESTABLISHED AS A GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH TO IDENTIFY THE POSSIBLE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS EMERGING FROM THE SPEECH OF THESE SUBJECTS, TAKING THE DIDACTIC RESOURCE OF RPG AS A SOCIAL PHENOMENON IN THE SCHOOL DYNAMICS. AS A SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE, THE COMPARISON OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT RPG OF THESE SUBJECTS WAS ESTABLISHED. THE RESEARCH WAS CARRIED OUT IN TWO SCHOOLS THAT COVERED THE FIRST SEGMENT OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION, ONE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM AND ONE IN THE PRIVATE SCHOOL SYSTEM IN THE CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO. THE SAMPLE CONSISTED OF 23 TEACHERS FROM THE FIRST SEGMENT OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. IN THIS STUDY, THE QUALITATIVE METHOD OF CONTENT ANALYSIS WAS USED TO ANALYZE THE DATA COLLECTED IN THE PARTICIPANTS' REPORTS. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT FOR THE PARTICIPATING GROUPS THE RPG IS SOMETHING UNKNOWN AND THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO MASTER THE TECHNIQUE OF THE GAME BEFORE ITS APPLICATION. THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE THEORY OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS TO THIS STUDY WAS THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE DYNAMICS EXISTING IN THE PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE OF TEACHERS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF INSERTING NEW DIDACTIC STRATEGIES IN THE SCHOOL ROUTINE.

ABSTRACT
INTELLIGENCE IS ONE OF THE MOST INVESTIGATED CONSTRUCTS AND MOST CONTROVERSIAL IN DIFFERENT AREAS. "INTELLIGENCE IS A CONCEPT THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED AS WHAT TIES ALL COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY" (STERNBERG, 2008). ACCORDING TO ALMEIDA (1994), INTELLIGENCE IS BASICALLY TAKEN AS THE "POWER" OR ABILITY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, AND ITS MEASUREMENT DONE BY IQ TESTS. WECHSLER (1958) DESCRIBES THAT INTELLIGENCE IS THE AGGREGATE OR GLOBAL CAPACITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL TO ACT INTENTIONALLY, TO THINK RATIONALLY AND TO ACT EFFECTIVELY IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT. METTRAU (2000), STATES THAT THE EXISTING INTELLECTUAL AND EMOTIONAL RANGES IN ALL FIELDS OF HUMAN ACTIVITY, TRANSFORM THE FIELD OF STUDY OF INTELLIGENCE IN ONE OF THE MOST COMPLEX, INTER-AND TRANSDISCIPLINARY. THE CENTRAL ISSUE OF STUDY: BIOLOGICAL MOTHERS AND CHILDREN SHOW A CORRELATION BETWEEN THEIR INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT (IQ)? THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE CORRELATIONS OF IQ (VERBAL AND PERFORMANCE SCALES), OF BIOLOGICAL MOTHERS IN RELATION TO (AT) HIS (THEIR) CHILDREN (AS). AND THEY WERE SPECIFICS: CHECK FOR CORRELATIONS OF FACTORIAL INDEXES OF BIOLOGICAL MOTHERS TOWARDS THEIR CHILDREN, THE VERBAL AND PERFORMANCE SCALES. PARTICIPANTS WERE 57 BIOLOGICAL MOTHERS (100 FINAL DATA DUE TO OVERLAP OF CHILDREN) AND 100 CHILDREN (AS). MATERNAL AGE RANGED BETWEEN 30 AND 55 YEARS AND CHILDREN BETWEEN 6 AND 36 YEARS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND INTERMEDIATE IQ LEVELS RANGING FROM VERY LOW AVERAGE CLASSIFICATION SUPERIOR. THE INSTRUMENTS USED WERE THE WECHSLER INTELLIGENCE SCALE FOR ADULT WAIS-III, THIRD EDITION (WECHSLER, 2004), FOR MOTHERS AND CHILDREN ABOVE 17 YEARS AND FOR CHILDREN 6 TO 16 YEARS E11MESES WISC-III, THIRD EDITION (WECHSLER, 2002) AND A SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEY (ABEP, 2009). STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF DATA, WAS EMPLOYED COMPUTER PROGRAM SPSS (STATISTICAL PACKAGE FOR SOCIAL SCIENCES). THE SIGNIFICANCE AND INTENSITY OF THE CORRELATIONS WERE OBTAINED FROM THE CALCULATION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CORRELATION COEFFICIENT OF PEARSON. THE RESULTS SHOWED SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE CORRELATIONS (P <0.001) BETWEEN INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT SCORES: IQT, TOTAL (R = +0.42), IQV, VERBAL (R = +0.44,), IQE, EXECUTION (R = +0 , 35) AND FACTORIAL INDEXES: ICV, VERBAL COMPREHENSION (R = +0.30), IOP, PERCEPTUAL ORGANIZATION (R = +0.37), IMO, OPERATIONAL MEMORY / IRD, RESISTANCE TO DISTRACTION (R = +0.28 ) AND IVP, PROCESSING SPEED (R = +0.002). AND GIVEN HOW SIGNIFICANT, 22% AND 34% OF MOTHERS OF CHILDREN CLASSIFIED IN CATEGORIES MUCH HIGHER IN INTELLECTUAL QUOTIENT TOTAL RECOGNIZED IN THE LITERATURE AS INDICATIVE OF GIFTEDNESS. AND YET WE FIND THAT THE WECHSLER SCALES IS NOT ONLY A TEST OF INTELLIGENCE, BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF PERSONALITY ISSUES OF INTELLIGENT BEHAVIOR AS MORAL, REFERRING TO THE ATTITUDES OF COMMON SENSE, RESPONSIBILITY, HONESTY WE ARE HIGHLY VALUED BY BOTH SCALES. WE COULD CONFIRM THAT MOTHERS TEND TO CONTRIBUTE A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THE CHILDREN IN THE TRANSMISSION OF DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF INTELLIGENCE. IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT IN FUTURE RESEARCH TO PERFORM A SAMPLING IQ OF THEIR BIOLOGICAL PARENTS, BECAUSE THERE IS CURRENTLY LIMITED STUDIES IN THE AREA, KEEPING THE WECHSLER SCALES AS A REFERENCE TOOL FOR MEASURING INTELLIGENCE.

ABSTRACT
SOCIAL SKILLS, EMPATHY AND ADEQUATE ANSWERS TO FRUSTRATIONS ARE SIGNIFICANT IN MEDICAL PRACTICE. INDEED, MEDICINE INVOLVES RECURRENTLY AN INTERPERSONAL CONTACT. THESE THREE VARIABLES MAY ASSIST THE UNDERSTANDING ABOUT INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS, WHICH ARE CONCERNED WITH A DOCTOR WORK THAT REQUIRES RELATING TO SEVERAL GROUPS. IN ADDITION, DOCTORS NEED TO DEAL WITH FRUSTRATING SITUATIONS IN THEIR DAILY TASKS. EMPATHY IS VERY IMPORTANT IN A MEDICAL PRACTICE, AS AN APTITUDE TO FACILITATE THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PATIENT. THEREFORE, THE OBJECTIVES OF THE RESEARCH WERE: TO EVALUATE AND TO COMPARE SOCIAL SKILLS, EMPATHY AND THE MAIN RESPONSES TO THE FRUSTRATION DONE BY STUDENTS OF MEDICINE FROM THE FIRST YEAR (CONSIDERED AS BEGINNER STUDENTS) AND FROM THE LAST YEAR (CONSIDERED AS GRADUATING STUDENTS). ANOTHER OBJECTIVE WAS TO VERIFY THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THESE THREE VARIABLES. 197 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN THIS RESEARCH, OF WHOM 36 BEGINNER STUDENTS, AND 35 GRADUATING STUDENTS IN MEDICINE, PLUS 60 BEGINNER STUDENTS AND 66 GRADUATING STUDENTS FROM OTHERS COURSES WITHOUT RELATION TO HEALTH CARE AREA. THE DATA WERE COLLECTED THROUGH THE INVENTORY OF SOCIAL SKILLS, OF THE INVENTORY OF EMPATHY AND OF THE OBJECTIVE TEST OF RESISTANCE TO THE FRUSTRATION. FOR THE ANALYSIS OF DATA WAS CARRIED OUT TEST T-STUDENT, TEST QUI-QUADRADO AND CORRELATION OF PEARSON. REGARDING TO AFFECTIONATE SENSIBILITY OF EMPATHY, THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE BEGINNER STUDENTS OF MEDICINE PRESENT BEST SCORES THAN THE GRADUATING STUDENTS. THE BEGINNER STUDENTS, WHEN COMPARED TO GRADUATING STUDENTS, HAD PREDISPOSITION TO ANSWER TO FRUSTRATIONS BY BLAMING THEMSELVES, REDIRECTING THE FRUSTRATION TO THEMSELVES. REGARDING TO FRUSTRATION, SOCIAL SKILLS AND EMPATHY, THE MORE AGGRESSIVE THE BEGINNER STUDENTS WERE, THE LESSER WERE THEIR SOCIAL SKILLS, WHICH ARE RELATED TO THE ASSERTIVENESS AND TO THEIR GENERAL REPERTOIRE. BESIDES THAT, THEY HAD LITTLE EMPATHIC CAPACITY REGARDING TO THE ALTRUISM. FOR THE GRADUATING STUDENTS IN MEDICINE, THE MORE THE ANSWERS TO FRUSTRATION WAS RELATED TO AN INDIVIDUAL ASSUMING HIS OWN FAULT (AND DECIDING TO CORRECT THE SITUATION) THE BETTER WERE HIS SOCIAL ASSERTIVENESS SKILLS, HIS ABILITY TO DEAL WITH THE NEW , AND HIS GENERAL REPERTOIRE OF SOCIAL SKILLS. REGARDING TO EMPATHY IT IS POSSIBLE TO SAY THAT THE MORE AGGRESSIVE AN INDIVIDUAL WAS THE LESSER WAS EMPATHIC CAPACITY RELATED TO THE THOUGHTFUL OF THE PERSPECTIVE AND FEELINGS OF SOMEONE ELSE.

ABSTRACT
DESPITE ALL THE ADVANCES IN HUMAN RIGHTS ESPECIALLY IN DEMOCRATIC COUNTRIES WE CAN STILL FIND CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN STREET SITUATION IN MOST MAJOR CITIES. THERE ARE MULTIPLE EXPLANATIONS FOR THIS SOCIAL PHENOMENON BUT IN GENERAL THE MOST COMMON ASPECT IS POVERTY (RIZZINI, 2003; NAIFF, 1999; RIZZINI ET ALL, 2007; COSTA LEITE, 1991).IN THIS CONTEXT IT IS IMPORTANT TO ANALYZE THE ROLE OF THE SCHOOL AND MORE SPECIFICALLY, ACCORDING TO THE RESEARCH CARRIED OUT, THE ROLE OF THE TEACHERS IN UNDERSTANDING HOW CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN STREET SITUATION ARE SOCIALLY REPRESENTED, SINCE EDUCATION IS GENERALLY PERCEIVED AS A TOOL TO REVERT THIS PHENOMENON. THE THEORETICAL APPROACH OF THE RESEARCH IS BASED ON THE DEFINITIONS OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATION BY SERGE MOSCOVICI. MOSCOVICI (1994) DEFINED SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS AS A COLLECTIVE ATTEMPT OF THE DIFFERENT SOCIAL GROUPS TO APPREHEND AND ORGANIZE ALL THE INFORMATION CIRCULATING IN THE SOCIAL SPHERE. IN ORDER TO BECOME A SOCIAL REPRESENTATION THIS CONTENT MUST INDUCE A NECESSITY TO TRANSFORM SOMETHING UNFAMILIAR INTO A SOCIALLY SHARED MEANING (SÁ 1998). IN THE PRESENT RESEARCH CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN STREET SITUATION IS PERCEIVED NOT ONLY AS A RESULT OF POVERTY BUT ALSO OF NEGLECT AND EXCLUSION BY SOCIETY. SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS ARE PRODUCED BY THE DIFFERENT GROUPS IN THE REALMS OF THE CONTRADICTION BETWEEN WHAT IS CHARACTERIZED AS BEING A CHILD IN OUR SOCIETY AND THE ACTUAL EXPERIENCES OF THOSE THAT ARE IN STREET SITUATION. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY WAS TO IDENTIFY THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF TEACHERS FROM THE PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM REGARDING CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN STREET SITUATION. THEREFORE A HUNDRED TEACHERS WERE INTERVIEWED ON THE TOPICS OF KNOWLEDGE, PERSONAL OPINIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS AND THEIR FEELINGS ABOUT THIS PHENOMENON. THE METHODOLOGY INCLUDED INTERVIEWS AND FREE ASSOCIATION OF WORDS. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT TEACHERS ARE TORN BETWEEN FEAR AND COMPASSION FOR THIS CHILDREN AND YOUTH. AND THEY ALSO CONSIDER THAT ANY MEANS OF CHANGE MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY PUBLIC AUTHORITIES. THE CHILDREN ́S AND YOUTH FAMILIES WERE SEEN AS THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THEIR LIVING HOME.

ABSTRACT
THE IMPACT OF JOB TRAINING IS AN ISSUE WHOSE IMPORTANCE HAS BEEN MAGNIFIED BY THE GROWING NEED FOR TRAINING AND RETRAINING OF MANPOWER. MOREOVER, THE ISSUE ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT HAS BEEN EXTENSIVELY STUDIED IN RECENT DECADES, WITH CLEAR RESULTS ON THEIR INFLUENCE ON VARIABLES SUCH AS PERFORMANCE AND JOB SATISFACTION. THIS STUDY AIMED TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT, AFFECTIVE, NORMATIVE AND CALCULATIVE PREDICTS THE IMPACT OF TRAINING ON THE LEVEL OF BEHAVIOR IN OFFICE. THE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED IN A TOTAL OF 23 PUBLIC, PRIVATE AND THIRD SECTOR IN THE STATES OF MINAS GERAIS AND RIO DE JANEIRO. PARTICIPATED IN ALL OF THE RESEARCH 403 PEOPLE, BEING CONSIDERED A TOTAL OF 377 VALID QUESTIONNAIRES. INITIAL ANALYSIS OF THE DATA POINTED TO AN IMPAIRMENT OF AFFECTIVE (M = 3.5 AND SD = 0.87) HIGHER THAN THE NORMATIVE COMMITMENT (M = 2.8, AND SD = 0.73) AND ALSO CALCULATED (M = 2.7, AND SD = 0.83). THE RESULTS SHOWED HIGH CORRELATION BETWEEN AFFECTIVE AND CALCULATIVE COMMITMENT (R = 0.51) ENSURE THE COMMITMENT AND CALCULATIVE AND NORMATIVE (R = 0.56). AS CONTROL VARIABLES OF THE MODEL WERE CONSIDERED AGE, TYPE OF TRAINING AND ADHERENCE TO THE TRAINING SITE AND ONLY THE LATTER FIGURED AS PREDICTOR OF TRAINING IMPACT (Β = 0.33). FOR THE ANALYSIS OF POSSIBLE COMPROMISE BETWEEN PREDICTION AND IMPACT OF TRAINING WAS INITIALLY PERFORMED A STANDARD REGRESSION WHICH INDICATED THAT THE NORMATIVE COMMITMENT WAS NOT INCLUDED AS A PREDICTOR IN THE MODEL. IN A SECOND ANALYSIS, WE PERFORMED A HIERARCHICAL REGRESSION WHICH SHOWS THAT AFFECTIVE COMMITMENT PREDICTS THE IMPACT OF TRAINING AT WORK (Β = 0.42, ADJ R ² = 0.18) AND THAT THE ENTRY OF VARIABLE CALCULATIVE COMMITMENT IN THE SECOND MODEL REPRESENTS AN INCREASE MINIMUM IN THE MODEL'S EXPLANATORY POWER (R² Δ = 0.02). THE RESULT OF HIERARCHICAL REGRESSION SHOWED THAT THE IMPAIRMENT CALCULATION IS THE STANDARD REGRESSION AS A PREDICTOR OF THE IMPACT OF TRAINING, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF ITS HIGH CORRELATION WITH AFFECTIVE COMMITMENT, FOR HIS CONTRIBUTION AS A PREDICTOR WHEN THE AFFECTIVE COMMITMENT WAS ALREADY INCLUDED BECOMES RESIDUAL AT LEAST IN THE CASE OF THE DEPENDENT VARIABLE IMPACT OF TRAINING ON THE JOB. THIS FINDING SUPPORTS THE ARGUMENTS OF OTHER AUTHORS THAT THE CALCULATIVE COMMITMENT CAN NOT PERHAPS BE CONSIDERED A FOCUS OF COMMITMENT, AND RESEARCH ON COMMITMENT TO FOCUS MAINLY ON THE AFFECTIVE APPROACH. THESE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED WITH REFERENCE TO THEORETICAL MODELS AND EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE WHICH BACKED THE RESEARCH.

ABSTRACT
RELYING MAINLY ON WALTON´S (1973) AND WARR´S (1987) MODELS OF QUALITY OF LIFE AND WELL-BEING AT WORK, THE PRESENT STUDY AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE PREDICTIVE POWER OF FIVE ORGANIZATIONAL DIMENSIONS OF QUALITY OF LIFE AND WELL-BEING AT WORK (SALARY AND BENEFITS, OPPORTUNITY AND DEVELOPMENT OF ONE´S OWN SKILLS, INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP AT WORK, RELATIONSHIP AND COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SUPERVISORS AND EMPLOYEES AND PHYSICAL CONDITIONS AND SAFETY AT WORKPLACE) ON THREE INDICATORS OF THIS CONSTRUCT: JOB SATISFACTION, POSITIVE AFFECTION DIRECTED TO WORK, AND AFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT. THE SAMPLE COMPRISED 284 EMPLOYEES OF A STATE ORGANIZATION IN THE ELECTRICITY SECTOR, WHO RESPONDED TO A QUESTIONNAIRE REGARDING THE ORGANIZATIONAL DIMENSIONS OF QUALITY OF LIFE AND WELL BEING AT WORK DEVELOPED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS RESEARCH AND THE SCALES WERE PREVIOUSLY VALIDATED FOR ASSESSMENT OF THE DEPENDENT VARIABLES ON THE STUDY. THE RESULTS REVEALED THAT: (1) THE GREATER THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF ONE´S OWN SKILLS, THE HIGHER THE RATES OF JOB SATISFACTION, POSITIVE AFFECTION DIRECTED TO WORK AND AFFECTIVE ORGANIZATION COMMITMENT; (2) THE BETTER THE RELATIONSHIP AND COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SUPERVISORS AND EMPLOYEES, THE HIGHER THE RATES OF JOB SATISFACTION AND POSITIVE AFFECTION DIRECTED TO WORK; (3) THE HIGHER THE SALARIES AND BENEFITS, THE HIGHER THE RATES OF POSITIVE AFFECTION DIRECTED TO WORK AND AFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT; (4) THE BETTER THE PHYSICAL CONDITIONS AND SAFETY AT THE WORKPLACE, THE HIGHER THE RATES OF JOB SATISFACTION; (5) THE HIGHER THE AGE, THE HIGHER THE RATES OF JOB SATISFACTION AND POSITIVE AFFECTION DIRECTED TO WORK; (6) WOMEN HAVE SHOWN TO BE MORE SATISFIED WITH THEIR WORK THAN MEN; (7) THE HIGHER THE EDUCATIONAL LEVEL, THE LOWER THE LEVEL OF JOB SATISFACTION. THESE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED BASED ON THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK THAT SUPPORTED THE RESEARCH. IN CONCLUSION, IT PRESENTS POSSIBILITIES FOR FUTURE STUDIES AND INTERVENTION STRATEGIES THAT THE RESEARCHED ORGANIZATION MAY RESORT IN ORDER TO RAISE THE LEVEL ON WELL BEING AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR IT´S EMPLOYEES.

ABSTRACT
HAVING IN MIND THE DEEP AND RAPID TRANSFORMATIONS GENDER IDENTITIES ARE UNDERGOING DURING THE DECADES, THIS STUDY AIMS AT BETTER UNDERSTANDING HOW MIDDLE-CLASS YOUNG “CARIOCA” MEN PERCEIVE MASCULINITY NOWADAYS. FOR SUCH WE BEGIN BY INVESTIGATING THOSE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN ALTERING, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE ROLE AND POSITION OF WOMEN AND MEN IN SOCIETY, BOTH IN THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SPHERES. SPECIAL ATTENTION HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE FEMINIST MOVEMENTS OF THE 1960’S AND 1970’S, THAT RAISED SEVERAL QUESTIONS ON THE OLD FEMININE AND MASCULINE IDENTITIES. IN GREAT PART, AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THIS QUESTIONING, SOME RESEARCHES POINT OUT NOW THE EMERGENCE OF WHAT HAS BEEN CALLED A “NEW” MAN. WE AGREE WITH THE RESEARCHERS IN THE AREA, HOWEVER, THAT THIS “NEW” MAN IS SOMEONE WHO STILL OSCILLATES BETWEEN OLD AND NEW VALUES, BRINGING ON WHAT SOME HAVE CALLED “MASCULINITY CRISIS”, THAT IS, THE COEXISTENCE INSIDE THE SUBJECTS, IN DISTINCT LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS, OF CONTRADICTORY VALUES, MODERN AND ARCHAIC ONES. SO AS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS PROCESS, WE DEVELOPED A STUDY IN WHICH WE INTERVIEWED FOUR SINGLE YOUNG MEN FROM BARRA DA TIJUCA, RIO DE JANEIRO, AGED 25 TO 35, WHO HAVE COMPLETED UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES. WE FOCUSED, AMONG OTHER THINGS, ON HOW THEY PERCEIVE MASCULINITY, FEMININITY, CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS, SEXUALITY AND WORK. WE MADE USE OF SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS THAT WERE TAPE-RECORDED AND FULLY TRANSCRIBED. THE RESULTING TEXTS WERE SUBMITTED TO A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: MASCULINITY, FEMININITY, SEXUALITY, AESTHETIC CARE, CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS AND WORK. OUR RESULTS POINTED TO THE FACT THAT, ALTHOUGH ASSIMILATING NEW ROLES AND FUNCTIONS IN SOCIETY AND THUS CONSTRUCTING NEW FORMS OF MASCULINITY, THE MEN WE INTERVIEWED STILL HELD, IN SOME DEGREE, OLD VALUES, DEEPLY STEPPED ON BIOLOGY AND, THUS, CONSIDERED “NATURAL” AND UNCHANGEABLE, BUT WHICH ARE STILL PRESENT IN SOCIAL DISCOURSE.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY AIMED TO IDENTIFY THE MAIN SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS IN THE EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT OF THE EDUCATIONAL INCLUSION. ACCORDINGLY, WE CONDUCTED A SURVEY WITH A CORE GROUP OF TEACHERS IN REGULAR EDUCATION NETWORK OF THE CITY OF MENDES / RJ, A GROUP OF SECONDARY STUDENTS IN TEACHING COURSE OF TWO TOWNS THAT FORM THE SURROUNDING MID-LEVEL PROFESSIONALS TO SERVE ON THE COUNCIL NETWORK MENTIONED. WE INVESTIGATED IN THE PSYCHOSOCIAL PERSPECTIVE, THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS BUILT ON THE PROCESS OF EDUCATIONAL INCLUSION IN THE DAILY PROFESSIONAL NETWORK OF EDUCATION AND REGULAR TEACHER TRAINING COURSES. THE EMPIRICAL STUDY IS STRUCTURED THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FOCUS GROUP AND INTERVIEWS WITH THE GROUP INTERVIEW WITH THE PRINCIPAL AND SECONDARY GROUP FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES. WE INTERVIEWED A TOTAL OF 120 PARTICIPANTS IN THE MAIN GROUP AND 100 PARTICIPANTS IN THE SECONDARY GROUP. THE INTERVIEWS WERE ANALYZED IN QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE TERMS FROM AN INITIAL CATEGORIZATION OF THE RESPONSES OF PARTICIPANTS IN BOTH GROUPS STUDIED. FOR THE ANALYSIS OF DATA USING THEMATIC CONTENT ANALYSIS OF BARDIN (2000) DATA FROM THE FOCUS GROUP AND OPEN QUESTIONS FOR THE INTERVIEW. THE ISSUES OF FREE RECALL WERE SUBMITTED TO AN ANALYSIS OF THE CONTENT WITH THE AID OF THE COMPUTER PROGRAM CALLED EVOC 2003. WE FOUND REPORTS INVOLVING PREJUDICE, LACK OF INFORMATION AND PREPARATION OF TEACHERS WITH IDEALS OF EQUALITY, APPRECIATION, CITIZENSHIP AND EXCHANGE. THIS LEADS US TO REFLECT ON THE ROLE OF TEACHERS TRAINED AND IN TRAINING ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN INCLUSIVE SOCIETY FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS.

ABSTRACT
THE PRESENT STUDY IT HAD AS OBJECTIVE GENERALITY TO VERIFY THE LEVEL OF MORAL JUDGMENT IN MILITARY OF THE NAVY OF BRAZIL. AS STARTING POINT THAT, IN A PERIOD OF THIRTY YEARS (1978 THE 2008), SOME MILITARY WHEN OCCUPYING POSITIONS OF COMMAND THEY HAD DEMONSTRATED AMONGST AS MUCH OTHER FACTORS, INJUSTICE, LACK OF ETHICS, FEELINGS E PROFESSIONAL RESPECT, TRANSGRESSING THE RULES AND THE CUSTOMS OF THE COLLECTIVE CONVIVÊNCIA DEMONSTRATING A LEVEL OF NOT COMPATIBLE MORAL MATURITY FOR THE EXERCISE OF ITS FUNCTION. THE SAMPLE WAS COMPOSED OF 83 MILITARY OF THE SCHOOL OF GUERRA NAVAL (EGN), OF DIFFERENTIATED RANKS (OFFICIAL, SERGEANT MAJORS, SERGEANTS, HANDLES AND SAILORS), WITH ETÁRIA BAND BETWEEN 22 AND 56 YEARS, OF BOTH THE SEXOS. IN SUCH A WAY, THE PRESENT RESEARCH STANDED OUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE EXERCISE OF ANALYSIS OF THE MORAL QUANDARIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT PARTNER-COGNITIVO OF THE CITIZENS. THE USED INSTRUMENT WAS PARTNER-MORAL REFLECTION OBJETIVE MEASURE (SROM), OF GIBBS AND BIAGGIO (1984) IN THE ADAPTATION FOR THE PORTUGUESE AND BRAZILIAN POPULATION, OF BIAGGIO (MEASURED OBJECTIVE OF PARTNER-MORAL REFLECTION, 1989). FOR THE SROM ONE APPLIED THE SHUNTING LINE STANDARD AND THE AVERAGE FOR THE SIX RANKS. THE COEFFICIENT OF RESULTANT VARIATION OF THE AFTER-TEST PRESENTED A RELATION BETWEEN LESSER RANK (MARINE = 3,8 + 0,40) AND THE INTERMEDIATE RANK (CABO= 3,6 + 0,60) IN RELATION TO EXCESSIVELY (THE OFFICIAL SUPERIORS = 3,5 + 0,57, SUBORDINATE OFFICERS = 3,5 + 0,44, SERGEANT MAJOR = 3,4 + 0,77, SERGEANTS = 3,6 + 0,40) ALLOWING TO AFFIRM THAT IT DID NOT HAVE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE. HOWEVER, THE OFFICERS HAD NOT ARRIVED TO REACH THE LEVEL DAILY PAY-CONVENTIONAL, AS SHE WAS FORESEEN INITIALLY.

ABSTRACT
THIS RESEARCH SOUGHT TO UNDERSTAND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE STUDENTS OF THE FIRST YEAR OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND PRIVATE EDUCATION NETWORK, THE SIX MESO REGIONS OF THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO. 500 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THIS STUDY, AGED BETWEEN 20 AND 50 YEARS OF AGE. TO ASSESS SOCIAL SKILLS WERE USED ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTS (IHS) SOCIAL SKILLS INVENTORY (DEL PRETTE AND DEL PRETTE, 2000) AND TO ASSESS THE ACADEMIC VIVENCIAS WAS USED ACADEMIC EXPERIENCES QUESTIONNAIRE (ADAMS AND FERREIRA, 2002). THE INSTRUMENTS WERE ADMINISTERED TO 100 STUDENTS IN EACH REGION, 50 STUDENTS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND 50 FOR THE NETWORK OF PRIVATE EDUCATION. THE RESULTS OBTAINED IN THIS STUDY WAS THE COMPARISON BETWEEN THE INSTRUMENTS. STUDENTS FROM PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS, HAVE REVEALED MORE ELABORATE REPERTOIRES IN COPING WITH RISK, AUTO EXPOSURE IN THE UNKNOWN, IN SELF AGGRESSION, AS WELL AS THE EXPRESSION OF FEELINGS, IN CONVERSATION AND SOCIAL. WHILE STUDENTS OF PUBLIC EDUCATION SEEM TO DEVELOP MORE INTENSELY SKILLS TO HELP YOU COPE WITH SUCCESS, ACADEMIC LIFE, WHILE BEING ASSERTIVE, CONFLICT NEGOTIATORS FOR BETTER SOCIAL PERFORMANCE.

[A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DA TEORIA DAS REPRESENTAÇÕES SOCIAIS PARA O ESTUDO DA INCLUSÃO DIGITAL NAS ESCOLAS DE ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL DO MUNICIPÍO DE NOVA IGUAÇU..] 163P - MASTER`S DEGREE DISSERTATION ON PSYCHOLOGY - ADVISOR: ALCINA MARIA TESTA BRAZ SILVA; RESEARCH PROGRAM: SOCIO-COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT, INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS AND EDUCATION
ABSTRACT
THIS PAPER AIMS TO PRESENT THE RESULTS OF RESEARCH ON DIGITAL INCLUSION, WITH THE TEACHERS OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, 6TH TO 9TH YEAR OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF NOVA IGUAÇU, IN LIGHT OF THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS THEORY. UNDERSTANDING THE VARIOUS MEANINGS BUILT ON THE THEME "DIGITAL INCLUSION" IN SCHOOLS FROM THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS THEORY INVOLVES GOING BEYOND THE LIMITS APPARENTLY REQUIRES THAT THE QUESTION AND PLACE IT IN THE SOCIAL CONTEXT OF THESE TEACHERS. THUS, REFLECTING ON THIS MATTER BASED ON THE THEORY OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS INVOLVES ACCEPTING THAT THE MEANING ASSIGNED TO A GIVEN OBJECT IS A PSYCHOSOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE INDIVIDUAL (MOSCOVICI, 2003) IN HIS LUGGAGE THAT CONTAINS THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GROUP TO WHICH IT BELONGS. THIS WORK IS THEREFORE THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS GUIDED THE STUDY: WHAT IS THE POSITION PRESENTED BY TEACHERS OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WITH THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN TEACHING AND LEARNING? THE METHOD WAS USED AS A TYPE OF EXPLORATORY QUALITATIVE RESEARCH WITH THE USE OF QUESTIONNAIRES AS A TOOL IN THE SURVEY DATA. THE SCHOOLS INVOLVED IN THIS RESEARCH ARE PART OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF NOVA IGUAÇU, STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, A TOTAL OF 19. WE ANALYZED THE QUESTIONNAIRES OF 82 TEACHERS WHO TEACH IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. FROM THE ANALYSIS OF CONTENT IN A FIRST PILOT STUDY WITH THE INSTRUMENT AND THEN RE-ESTABLISHED METHODOLOGY FOR THE RESEARCH, IDENTIFIED BY A SYSTEM OF CATEGORIES TURNING AROUND THE FOLLOWING CLUSTERS OF MEANING: LEARNING TECHNOLOGY X ENABLE FOR DIGITAL INCLUSION OF THE TEACHER. THE RESULTS INDICATE A CONSIDERABLE GAP BETWEEN THE IMPORTANCE GIVEN BY THE TEACHER TO USE TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM AND ITS EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTION TO THE TEACHING LEARNING PROCESS. THE DISCUSSION ON DIGITAL INCLUSION REINFORCES THE NEED TO THINK OF A CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR TEACHERS. THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE THEORY OF SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS TO THIS DISCUSSION WAS TO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF PRELIMINARY REFINEMENT OF THE SYSTEM OF CATEGORIES, MAPPING OTHER CATEGORIES OF SPEECH IN ORDER TO EXTEND THE ANALYSIS OF THE MEANINGS OF THAT DOWN AND IDENTIFY THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY WHICH DIFFUSE AND CIRCULATE IN THE SCHOOL STUDIED.

ABSTRACT
THIS RESEARCH APPROACHES ISSUES RELATED TO PERSONNEL INDICATION DURING THE PROCESS OF SELECTION AND RECRUITING OF PERSONNEL IN PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS LOCATED IN BRAZIL. DESPITE THE FACT THAT ORGANIZATIONS NOWADAYS USE SEVERAL TECHNIQUES TO ATTRACT BETTER TRAINED AND QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS, SO AS PRODUCE POSITIVE RESULTS, WE BELIEVE THAT IN BRAZILIAN ORGANIZATIONS WE STILL OBSERVE A HIGH TENDENCY TO HIRE THESE PROFESSIONALS BY MEANS OF THE INDICATION OF PEOPLE BOTH FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THESE ORGANIZATIONS, THUS MAKING USE OF INFORMAL WAYS TO SUPPLY THE NEEDS OF AN OPEN FUNCTION. WE BELIEVE THAT, ALTHOUGH THIS PRACTICE MIGHT BE OBSERVED IN OTHER COUNTRIES, ITS USE IN BRAZIL IS DIFFERENT FROM THAT FOUND IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD BECAUSE IT IS PRESENT IN MOST SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE COUNTRY AND IT DATES FROM COLONIAL PERIOD. IT IS OUR POINT OF VIEW THAT HERE THEY ARE RELATED TO THE FACT THAT FAMILY AND FRIENDSHIP RELATIONSHIPS, PROPER OF THE PRIVATE SPHERE, SUPERIMPOSE IMPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS, TYPICAL OF THE PUBLIC SPHERE. SO AS TO BETTER OBSERVE THIS PHENOMENON IN BRAZILIAN ORGANIZATIONS NOWADAYS, INSERTED IN A GLOBALIZED ECONOMY, WE INTERVIEWED FIVE MANAGERS OF HUMAN RESOURCES IN RETAIL BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS, LOCATED IN THE CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO. WE MADE USE OF SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS THAT WERE TAPE-RECORDED AND FULLY TRANSCRIBED. THE RESULTING TEXTS WERE SUBMITTED TO A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING THREE CATEGORIES: ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE; RECRUITMENT, SELECTION, RE- MANAGEMENT AND PROMOTION; AND PERSONAL INDICATION. OUR DATA POINT TO A CONTRADICTION ON THE DISCOURSES ABOUT THE PRACTICES USED BY THESE ORGANIZATIONS TO SELECT AND RECRUIT PERSONNEL. DESPITE THE FACT THAT AT FIRST THE MANAGERS INTERVIEWED AFFIRMED THAT THEIR ORGANIZATIONS MAKE USE OF MODERN TECHNIQUES TO SELECT PERSONNEL, PERSONAL INDICATION WAS NOT ONLY POINTED OUT BY THEM AS A MEANS TO RECRUIT PERSONNEL USED IN THEIR ORGANIZATIONS, BUT WAS ALSO CONSIDERED AN IMPORTANT FACTOR AFFECTING THE PROCESS OF DECISION MAKING WHEN THEY HAVE TO HIRE A PROFESSIONAL, SPECIALLY WHEN THIS INDICATION CAME FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THIS MIGHT POINT TO THE FACT THAT SOME TRADITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BRAZILIAN CULTURE STILL PREVAIL IN OUR COUNTRY’S ORGANIZATIONS.

ABSTRACT
THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESEARCH WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS AND THE PHYSICAL DEPENDENCY OF THE ELDERLY WITHIN CONFLICTS AND THE RECIPROCITY OF SUPPORT BETWEEN THE SENIOR CITIZEN AND HIS CARER. APART FROM THE PHYSICAL DEPENDENCE, THE LEVEL OF SCHOOLING AND MARITAL STATUS OF THE ELDERLY CITIZEN; THE LEVEL OF SCHOOLING, AGE OF THE CARER, AND FAMILY TIES WERE ALSO CONSIDERED. 100 CARERS FROM THE AGE OF 18 AND ABOVE, WHO RESIDED IN THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, AND COMPLETED THE FORMS, DURING A PREVIOUSLY ARRANGED INTERVIEW TOOK PART IN THIS RESEARCH. TWO SCALES WERE SET UP AND VALIDATED - THE PERCEIVED CONFLICT BETWEEN THE CARER-ELDERLY SCALE (ECPCI) AND THE CARER-ELDERLY RECIPROCITY SUPPORT SCALE (ERACI) – WHICH WERE BASED ON THE INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENT OASIS (LOWESTEIN, KATZ, MEHLHAUSEN-HASSOEN & PRILUTZKY, 2000) STUDY. THE ECPCI SCALE CONSISTED OF TEN ITEMS, WITH AN ALPHA OF 0.91, FROM WHICH, AFTER A FACTORIAL ANALYSIS, TWO DIMENSIONS APPEARED: DAY-TO-DAY UPSETS AND CRITICISM AND CONFLICT. THE ERACI SCALE CONSISTED OF EIGHT ITEMS, WITH AN ALPHA OF 0.65, FROM WHICH, AFTER A FACTORIAL ANALYSIS, TWO DIMENSIONS APPEARED: SUPPORT PROVIDED BY THE CARER AND SUPPORT PROVIDED BY THE SENIOR CITIZEN. HYPOTHESIS PROVIDED BY PREVIOUS EMPIRICAL STUDIES WERE TESTED. THEIR RESULTS INDICATED THAT THE AGE OF THE CARER, PHYSICAL DEPENDENCY OF THE SENIOR CITIZEN, AND THE FAMILY TIES BETWEEN THE CARER AND THE SENIOR CITIZEN CORRELATED DIRECTLY WITH THE SUPPORT THE CARER PROVIDED. AS SUCH, THOSE CARERS WHO WERE PARTNERS OF THE SENIOR CITIZEN AND THE YOUNGER CARERS PROVIDED GREATER SUPPORT TO THE ELDERLY; AND THE MORE THE SENIOR CITIZEN WAS PHYSICALLY DEPENDENT, THE GREATER THE SUPPORT PROVIDED BY THE CARER. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE CARER-ELDERLY WERE CORRELATED TO THE MARITAL STATUS OF THE SENIOR CITIZEN. THIS BEING THE CASE, SENIOR CITIZENS WHO HAD NO COMPANIONS SHOWED GREATER LEVELS OF CONFLICT WITH THEIR CARERS. OTHER VARIABLES WITH RESPECT TO CARER-ELDERLY RELATIONSHIPS WERE ALSO TESTED, AND THE RESULTS POINTED OUT THAT THE LEVEL OF PROXIMITY AND COMMUNICATION, RELATED TO THE RECIPROCITY OF SUPPORT BETWEEN THE CARER-ELDERLY. THIS IS STUDY REPRESENTS A CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY AND GERONTOLOGY, IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND VALIDATION OF TWO IMPORTANT SCALES FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CARERS AND THE ELDERLY, AND SHOULD BE REPLICATED WITH OTHER GROUPS OF CARERS. THE STUDY ALSO PROVIDES SUGGESTIONS FOR THE TRAINING OF CARERS, WHICH SHOULD IN TURN BE STIMULATED BY GOVERNMENT.

ABSTRACT
THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THIS WORK WAS TO INVESTIGATE UNDER THE FEMININE PRISM THE NEW LEADERSHIP FORMS, SHOWING THAT IT FORMS THE WOMEN THAT OCCUPY LEADERSHIP POSITIONS NOTICE WHICH QUALITIES ARE IMPORTANT FOR EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CURRENT LEADERSHIP AND IF THESE THEY ASSOCIATE MORE THE CHARACTERISTICS FEMININE OR MASCULINE BEFORE THE NEW ORGANIZATIONAL DEMANDS. FOR THIS, INTERVIEWS WERE ACCOMPLISHED WITH WOMEN THAT OCCUPY LEADERSHIP POSITIONS - MORE SPECIFICALLY, THE ONES THAT COMMAND FINANCIAL AREAS OF COMPANIES DEPRIVED IN RIO DE JANEIRO - BEING TO THE WHOLE FIVE PARTICIPANTS. THE INTERVIEWS WERE TRANSCRIBED AND THE RESULTING TEXTS WERE SUBMITTED TO A SPEECH ANALYSIS. THE RESULTS APPEARED FOR THE EXISTENCE OF A LOT OF SIMILARITIES IN THE PARTICIPANTS'S SPEECHES ABOUT THE VISION OF AN EFFECTIVE LEADER'S CHARACTERISTICS. SPEECHES THAT WERE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OWN CURRENT NEEDS OF THE MARKET, CONFIRMED IN SEVERAL RESEARCHES ON LEADERSHIP, IN THE WHICH, THESE DEFINITIONS WHEN THAT ARE COMPARED WITH THE ANSWERS GIVEN ON WHICH FEMININE AND MASCULINE CHARACTERISTICS WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE TO ACT IN THE CURRENT COMPANIES, THEY ASSOCIATED MORE THE FEMININE ONES. THEN, THIS RESEARCH CONTRIBUTES FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING ON AS THE WOMEN LEADERS THINK, FEEL AND SEE THE NEW LEADERSHIP FORMS, AS WELL AS, IT EVIDENCES THE IMPORTANCE OF THE COMBINATION OF FEMININE AND MASCULINE CHARACTERISTICS IN ORDER TO WE REACH THE JUSTNESS IN THE LEADERSHIP POSITIONS IN THE COMPANIES AND IN THE SOCIETY IN A GENERAL WAY.

ABSTRACT
ONE OF THE MAIN GOALS OF THIS WORK WAS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND A NEW POSSIBILITY OF CONTEMPORARY LOVE RELATIONSHIP, THE “NAMORIDO”. THIS TERM IS USUALLY EMPLOYED BY YOUNG PEOPLE LIVING IN MIDDLE-CLASS DISTRICTS OF RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL, TO DESCRIBE A COMMON KIND OF RELATIONSHIP IN WHICH, SHORTLY AFTER BEGINNING TO DATE, A COUPLE DECIDES TO LIVE TOGETHER. THIS DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THEY PLAN TO GET MARRIED IN THE FUTURE. WE BEGIN BY PRESENTING A HISTORICAL CADRE OF LOVE RELATIONSHIPS IN BRAZIL. THEN, WE OFFER A BRIEF VIEW OF THE EVOLUTION OF MARRIAGE AND LOVE RELATIONSHIPS IN WESTERN SOCIETIES, IN WHICH AFFECTIVE TIES BECOME EACH DAY MORE FLUID AND FLEXIBLE, A FACT THAT COULD EXPLAIN THE EMERGENCE OF THE “NAMORIDO”. IN ORDER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE “NAMORIDO” AND SEE IN WHICH WAYS IT DIFFERS FROM OFFICIAL MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIPS, WE INTERVIEWED 5 MIDDLE-CLASS WOMEN, AGED 27 TO 37, LIVING IN RIO DE JANEIRO, AND INVOLVED IN A “NAMORIDO” FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR. THEY ALL HAD A JOB. WE USED SEMI- STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS THAT WERE TAPE-RECORDED AND TRANSCRIBED AND THE RESULTING TEXTS WERE SUBMITTED TO A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: BEGINNING OF LOVE RELATIONSHIP AND COHABITATION; OFFICIALIZATION OF LOVE RELATIONSHIP; “NAMORIDO” AND MARRIAGE; SHARING OF TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. THE DISCOURSE ANALYSIS POINTED TO THE FACT THAT INDIVIDUALS SEARCH FOR AN INSTANTANEOUS PERSONAL SATISFACTION IN “NAMORIDO”, SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO RESULT FROM THE EXTREME INDIVIDUALISM OF CONTEMPORARY SOCIETIES, AS WELL AS FROM THE FLUIDITY AND FLEXIBILITY OF AFFECTIVE TIES. REGARDING THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MARRIAGE AND “NAMORIDO”, WE MAY SAY THAT IN BOTH CASES THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OF ETERNAL DURATION AND THAT WOMEN USUALLY CONTINUE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DOMESTIC TASKS. HOWEVER, THE CONSTRUCTION AND DISSOLUTION OF TIES ARE PROMPTER IN THE “NAMORIDO”. BESIDES, OFFICIALIZATION IS NO LONGER AN AIM AND, AS A RESULT, THE COUPLE WOULD HAVE A GREATER DEGREE OF INVESTMENT AND CARE SO THAT BOTH PARTNERS’ SATISFACTION IS MAINTAINED. FINALLY, THEY DON’T NECESSARILY WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN SO AS TO CONSTITUTE A FAMILY IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY INVESTIGATED THE HIGH SKILLS / GIFTEDNESS IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS BLACKS MUNICIPAL SCHOOL DR. LAURO TRAVASSOS IN CAPUTERA, ANGRA DOS REIS, RJ. TO THIS END WE APPLIED THE FOLLOWING STANDARDIZED INSTRUMENTS: TEST OF RAVEN'S PROGRESSIVE MATRICES (2004) AND RENZULLI SCALES, SCALE PARA LA VALORACIÓN DE LAS CARACTERÍSTICAS DE COMPORTAMENTO DE LOS ESTUDIANTES SUPERIOR (2001). OF THE 156 STUDENTS ENROLLED, 89 WERE APPRAISED USING THE CRITERION OF PARENTAL CONSENT FOR THEIR CHILDREN PARTICIPATE IN THE STUDY. OF THE 89 STUDENTS SURVEYED, 71 ARE BLACK, 1 IS INDIAN (GUARANI) AND 17 ARE WHITE. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT 9.0% OF RESPONDENTS ARE GIFTED (IS), WHICH WE CALL THE INTELLECTUALLY SUPERIOR, AND OF THESE 6.7% ARE BLACK AND 2.3% ARE WHITE .NO TOTAL OF 71 BLACK RESPONDENTS FOUND, 11% TALENTED (MS), WHICH WE CALL SUPERIOR AVERAGE, 32% WERE IN THE MIDDLE (MD) 8.9% ARE ON AVERAGE LOWER (MI) AND 20% ( ID) INTELLECTUALLY DEFICIENT. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT THIS SCHOOL NEEDS A PROGRAM THAT MEETS THE GIFTED BUT GUARANTEE LEGISLATION, "THE DISTINGUISHED SERVICE TO STUDENTS WITH HIGH SKILLS / GIFTEDNESS" (CHAPTER V OF LAW 9394/96). IT IS SUGGESTED THAT IN ADDITION TO PROGRAMMINGS TO MEET STUDENTS WITH HIGH ABILITY / GIFTED PUPILS, ALSO HAS A PROGRAM TO MEET THE TALENTED WITH PROPOSAL OF ENRICHMENT OF RENZULLI, WHO LEVERAGED THEIR SKILLS CAN REACH THE LEVEL OF PUPILS. FOR THIS SCHOOL OF MOSTLY BLACK LAW ENFORCEMENT 11645/08, WHICH MANDATES THE TEACHING OF THE HISTORY OF AFRICA AND OF THE BLACK IN BRAZIL, HAS A MUCH GREATER MEANING, BECAUSE IT WILL HAVE AN EDUCATION FOCUSED ON ETHNIC ISSUES FOR THE RACIAL BLACK HIGH SKILLS / GIFTED PUPILS TO DEVELOP THEIR POTENTIALITIES.

ABSTRACT
THE AIM OF THIS PAPER IS TO ANALYZE AND DISCUSS THE RESULTS OF A SURVEY OF LITERARY READING PRACTICES THAT ARE AMONG THE STUDENTS OF TEACHER TRAINING IN MIDDLE-LEVEL, NORMAL MODE AND STUDENTS OF THE SUPERIOR NORMAL, COMBINING SUCH PRACTICES WITH A REFLECTIVE CRITICAL POSITION OF THESE FUTURE TEACHERS. FROM A THEORETICAL REVIEW ON THE DIFFERENT HISTORICAL, POLITICAL AND SOCIAL CONTEXTS SPECIFIC OF TRAINING COURSES FOR TEACHERS IN BRAZIL, AND IN THE LIGHT OF THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE LAWS TO THESE COURSES, WE WANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW ARTICULATE READING AND TEACHER TRAINING NOWADAYS. A DISCUSSION OF SOME THEORETICAL CONCEPTS OF REFLECTION, EXPERIENCE AND TEACHER KNOWING HAS ENABLED US TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF THE LITERARY READING PRACTICES IN RELATION TO THE FORMATION OF A REFLECTIVE TEACHER. REFLECTING ON THE PRACTICE OF LITERARY READING AS A CULTURAL CONSTRUCT IMPLIES ACCEPTING THAT THE MEANINGS ATTRIBUTED, THE INTERPRETATIVE REPERTOIRES AND THE PRODUCTION OF MEANINGS IS A CONSTRUCTION OF KNOWLEDGE OF THESE ACTUAL INTERLOCUTORS AND MADE PRESENT THROUGH THEIR VOICES, INCLUDING THE RESEARCHER. THE USED METHOD WAS THE EXPLORATORY INVESTIGATION, IN A CONSTRUCTIONIST APPROACH. THE PROCEDURES OF THE RESEARCH HAD INCLUDED A QUESTIONNAIRE, FOLLOWED BY WATCHING A MOVIE, THEN THE PROPOSAL OF THE BALANCE OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF A FIELD DIARY. THE PARTICIPANTS WERE 64 STUDENTS FROM TEACHER TRAINING IN MIDDLE AND SUPERIOR LEVEL. THE ANALYSIS OF DISCURSIVE PRACTICES HAS LED NOT ONLY TO UNDERSTAND THE DYNAMIC RELATIONSHIP THAT SHOULD EXIST BETWEEN THE TEACHING PRACTICE OF FUTURE TEACHERS AND LITERARY READING IN ORDER TO FORM READERS, BUT, ABOVE ALL, UNDERSTAND THIS PRACTICE AS A SOCIAL PHENOMENON. WE CONCLUDE THAT FOR THIS REALIZATION IS NECESSARY TO ENABLE THE TEACHER AND PROMOTER OF FUTURE READERS, PRACTICES ALSO PRODUCERS OF MEANING, INCLUDING A REVIEW OF HIS CONCEPTS OF LANGUAGE AND READING. OUR RESULTS LED US TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO CONSENSUS IN THE LITERATURE ABOUT WHAT SHOULD BE THE IDEAL TRAINING OF TEACHERS, BUT FROM OUR FIELD WORK WE CAN GUIDE THE POSSIBLE WAYS THAT THE TRAINING COURSES FOR TEACHERS SHOULD FOLLOW, BASED ON THE SUPPOSITION OF THAT IS A COURSE SUBSTANTIALLY PROMOTER OF READERS.

ABSTRACT
THE EDUCATION AIMED AT MORE SKILLED STUDENTS WITH TRAITS OF GIFTEDNESS STILL POSES CHALLENGES. FACTORS RELATED TO THE COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT AND COUNSELING PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN THE OBJECT OF GROWING INTEREST AMONG RESEARCHERS IN THIS FIELD. (GUIMARÃES, 2007). ONE OF THE CHALLENGES FOR THEM IS THE RELATION BETWEEN MOTIVATION, INTELLIGENCE AND HIGH ABILITIES/GIFTEDNESS. TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE COUNSELING TO SUCH SPECIAL STUDENTS MEANS TO OFFER THEM EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALL THEIR POTENTIALITY. THE TEACHING EXCELLENCE PROPOSED IN SPECIAL PROGRAMS FOR THE GIFTED SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED AS A DEMOCRATIC EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE SINCE THEY INTEND TO MEET INDIVIDUAL NEEDS. FIFTY-TWO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM RIO DE JANEIRO, SCHOLARSHIP HOLDERS OF INSTITUTO SOCIAL MARIA TELLES – ISMART (2000), TOOK PART IN THIS RESEARCH, WHICH INVESTIGATES INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC MOTIVATIONAL ASPECTS THAT INDICATE THE STRATEGIES USED BY THEM TO FAVOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE MOTIVATIONAL FEATURES. THE MEANS USED WAS THE SCHOLASTIC MOTIVATION SCALE FOR JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS (ESCALA DE MOTIVAÇÃO ESCOLAR PARA ALUNOS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL), DEVELOPED BY MANZINI & MARTINELLI (2006), WHOSE MOTIVATIONAL GUIDANCE IS ARRANGED IN 31 QUESTIONS, 15 ON INTRINSIC MOTIVATION AND 16 ON EXTRINSIC ONES. THE RESULTS POINT OUT THE INTRINSIC MOTIVATION AS THE MAIN MOTIVATIONAL FEATURE PRESENT IN THESE STUDENTS (DEGREE 1 IN PEARSON’S CORRELATION) AND SHOW HOW COMMITTED THEY ARE TO THE TASKS THEY HAVE PLEDGED TO PERFORM THROUGHOUT THE ISMART PROGRAM. THE AVERAGE OF THE INTRINSIC MOTIVATION OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE VARIABLE WAS SUPERIOR (18.2) IN RELATION TO THE EXTRINSIC ONE (13.8), ALSO VERIFYING SUCH RESULT. MORE THAN ACHIEVING THE OBJECTIVES AND ATTAINING THE GOALS IN THE PROGRAM, THESE STUDENTS HAVE PLEASURE IN STUDYING AS THEIR MAIN CHARACTERISTIC. KNOWING THE MOTIVATIONAL ASPECTS OF THESE STUDENTS HELPS THE CHOICE OF STRATEGIES, WHICH NOT ONLY EXTENDS THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF MOTIVATION BUT ALSO ALLOWS IT TO BE SUSTAINED DURING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE TASKS, FAVORING THE ACHIEVEMENT OF POSITIVE AND SATISFACTORY RESULTS, CREATING A PLEASANT AND HEALTHY ATMOSPHERE DURING THE FULFILLMENT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF EACH STUDENT.

ABSTRACT
IN A VERY FAST AND COMPETITIVE SCENARIO, THERE IS A HUGE NECESSITY OF THE ORGANIZATIONS TO HAVE, IN THEIR STAFF, PROFESSIONALS WHICH ARE MORE AND MORE COMPETENT. ACCORDING TO IT, TRAINING, DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATIONAL AREA FIND OUT A FERTILE LAND TO FEED THE RESEARCH ON BETTER PRACTICES, NEW METHODOLOGIES AND STRATEGIES AND NEW ACTIONS WHICH LEAD IN A BETTER ASSESSMENT OF QUALIFICATION ACTIONS. THIS STUDY CARRIES OUT OF, AS MAIN OBJECTIVE, INVESTIGATING THE RELATION OF TRAINING IMPACT AT WORK AND THE DIMENSIONS THAT MAKE PART OF SATISFACTION AT WORK. THE RESEARCH, WHICH IS QUANTITATIVE, WAS REALIZED IN A FEDERAL AUTARCHY. THERE WAS AN APPLICATION OF 125 QUESTIONNAIRES IN, ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE DEVELOPMENT STAFF PROGRAM, FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF THE TRAINING IMPACT AND PLEASURE AT WORKPLACE. THE PARTICIPANTS’ ANSWERS WAS SUBJECTED TO A CORRECTION ANALYSIS AND STANDARD MULTIPLE REGRESSION. THE VARIABLE IMPACT OF TRAINING AT WORK REPRESENTED AS PREDICTOR IN TWO MODEL POINTED OUT AS SIGNIFICATIVE: THE SATISFACTION AT WORKPLACE AND AT BOSS POSITION. IT MAY CONCLUDE THAT WHO APPLIES MORE WHAT LEARNED IN TRAINING PRESENTS MORE SATISFACTION WITH BOSS AND AT WORK. TO THE VARIABLE WORK SATISFACTION, THE RESEARCH MAY ALSO CONCLUDE THAT VARIABLE FUNCTIONAL AND PERSONAL GETS LOW POWER OF EXPLANATION. THE TEST POINT OUT THAT ONLY THE EXERCISE ABOUT COMMISSIONED FUNCTION WAS AS PREDICTOR VARIABLE OF WORK SATISFACTION AND, EVEN SO IT WAS RESTRICTED OF PLEASURE DIMENSION GATHER IN WORK. THE RESULTS OF THIS CURRENT RESEARCH WAS DISCUSSED TOGETHER WITH NATIONAL AND FOREIGN LITERATURE ABOUT THIS THEME. THERE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE RESULTS AND PRESENTED SUGGESTIONS FOR THE NEXT RESEARCHES.

ABSTRACT
SOCIAL PROGRAMS HAVE GAINED IMPORTANCE IN THE WORLD. THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DISCREPANCIES IN COUNTRIES LIKE BRAZIL AND THE FACT THAT STATE ALONE CAN NOT LEAD TO THE NECESSARY SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION OPEN THE DOORS FOR PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS AND THE THIRD SECTOR’S ACTIVITIES. THIS RESEARCH HAD AS MAIN OBJECTIVE TO EVALUATE THE PROJETO ESPERANÇA, CONDUCTED BY COLÉGIO SÃO VICENTE DE PAULO IN THE PAVUNA, IN RIO DE JANEIRO. AS A SECONDARY OBJECTIVE, THIS RESEARCH ALSO OBJECT TO CONSTRUCT AND VALIDATE ARANGE OF REASONS FOR PARTICIPATION IN VOLUNTARY WORK, AND EXAMINE THE EXTENT TO WHICH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS KNOW AND VALUE THE SOCIAL ACTIONS PERFORMED BY THE COLLEGE ABOVE. THUS, THIS STUDY MERGES QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES IN THREE STUDIES, NAMELY: STUDY 1: DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF THE SCALE OF REASONS FOR PARTICIPATION IN SOCIAL PROGRAMS, VALIDATED WITH 187 STUDENTS FROM HIGH SCHOOL; STUDY 2: EVALUATION OF THE DEGREE OF KNOWLEDGE AND APPRECIATION OF SOCIAL ACTION PROMOTED BY THE COLÉGIO SÃO VICENTE DE PAULO, RESEARCHED WITH STUDENTS FROM HIGH SCHOOL, AND STUDY 3: EVALUATION OF PROJETO ESPERANÇA FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF STAKEHOLDERS (MANAGERS, FINANCIERS, PARTNERS, COMMUNITY LEADERS, IMPLEMENTERS AND BENEFICIARIES), WITH THE COMPLETION OF SIX INTERVIEWS IN DEPTH, FIVE FOCUS GROUPS AND 23 QUESTIONNAIRES. FOR THE ANALYSIS OF DATA WERE USED DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS, ANALYSIS OF PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS AND FACTOR ANALYSIS TO VALIDATE THE SCALE, AND CATEGORICAL CONTENT ANALYSIS (BARDIN, 1977) IN THE QUALITATIVE DATA. THE SCALE ON REASONS FOR ACTING AS A VOLUNTEER IN SOCIAL PROJECTS SHOWED GOOD PSYCHOMETRIC INDICES AND TWO FACTORS: REASONS AND SOCIAL REASONS. THE RESULTS OF RESEARCH WITH STUDENTS OF THE COLÉGIO SÃO VICENTE DE PAULO SHOWED THAT STUDENTS KNOW THE SOCIAL ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE SPONSOR OF THE COLLEGE, PARTICIPATE AND EVALUATE THESE ACTIONS POSITIVELY, CONFIRMING THE STUDENT'S ASSIMILATION OF THE COLLEGE MOTTO: "EDUCATING FOR SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION." FINALLY THE CONTENT ANALYSIS OF INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS WITH STAKEHOLDERS OF THE PROJETO ESPERANÇA ISSUED FIVE MAIN CATEGORIES: PERCEPTIONS OF HOUSING IN A COMMUNITY; MAIN DIFFICULTIES OF LIFE IN THE COMMUNITY CHICO MENDES; SIGNIFICANCE OF PROJETO ESPERANÇA; SOCIAL ROLE OF THE PROJETO ESPERANÇA; AND RESULTS OF THE PROJECT. THE ANALYSIS OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE PROJECT MAIN OBJECTIVE AND THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES SHOWS THAT THE OBJECTIVES WERE ONLY PARTIALLY FULFILLED. ALTHOUGH BENEFICIARIES HAVE EXPRESSED THAT THEIR LIVES ARE BETTER, STILL REMAINS THE QUESTION: WHAT EXTENT THERE WAS IN FACT THE EXPANSION OF INDIVIDUAL AS A SOCIAL TRANSFORMER, ACCORDING TO PROJETO ESPERANÇA. THE RESULTS WERE DISCUSSED WITHIN THE LITERATURE STUDIED. CONCLUSIONS AND PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS WERE PRESENTED TO IMPROVE THIS PROJECT AND FOR NEW DESIGNS FOR SIMILAR PROJECTS.

ABSTRACT
ADOPTING AS THEORETICAL REFERENCE FOR ATITUDES ON ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES STUDIES THE MODEL OF NEIVA, ROS AND PAZ (2003) AND FOR STUDYING ORGANIZATION CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOUR THE MODEL OF PORTO E TAMAYO (2003), THIS THESIS AIMS AT INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF ATTITUDES ON ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOUR. THE STUDY SURVEYED 304 EMPLOYEES OF BOTH SEXES, FROM 02 COMPANIES,
BELONGING ONE TO BANK SEGMENT AND THE OTHER TO EDUCATIONAL ONE, LOCATED IN RIO DE JANEIRO. FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF ATITUDES ON CHANGES OF THE CULTURE, WE USED NEIVA AND COLS. SCALE (2003), VALIDATED IN BRAZIL, WHILE THE CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOUR WERE EVALUATED USING THE ORGANIZATION CIVISM SCALE, DEVELOPED BY PORTO AND TAMAYO (2003). THE RESULTS OF HIERARCHICAL LINEAR MUTIPLE REGRESSIONS SHOWED THAT: THE ATTITUDES OF ACCEPTANCE TO CHANGE POSITIVELY IMPACT THE ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOR; THAT THE ATTITUDES OF SKEPTICISM FORWARD TO CHANGES NEGATIVELY AFFECTING THE BEHAVIOR OF THE SYSTEM PROTECTION AND CREATE FAVORABLE CLIMATE AND THE LOWER AGE, THE GREATER THE PROPENSITY TO PRESENT CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOURS TURNED TO CREATIVE SUGGESTIONS TO THE SYSTEM, SYSTEM PROTECTION AND CREATING FAVORABLE CLIMATE FOR ORGANIZATION. THESE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED BASED ON AUTHORS WHO PROVIDED THE THEORETICAL SUPPORT FOR THE RESEARCH AND IN CONCLUSION, OFFERED SOME STRATEGIC ACTIONS DESIGNED TO PRODUCE POSITIVE ATTITUDES IN TIMES OF CHANGE IN ORGANIZATIONS, CAPABLE THUS TO STIMULATE THE CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOURS OF ITS MEMBERS.

ABSTRACT
OUR STUDY PRESENTS THE RESULTS OF A RESEARCH CARRIED OUT WITH MIDDLE CLASS BRAZILIAN WOMEN FROM THE CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO. OUR OBJECTIVE WAS TO OBSERVE HOW THESE WOMEN MANAGE TO RECONCILE MOTHERHOOD WITH THEIR PROFESSIONAL CAREER AND PRACTICALLY ASSUME THE HOUSE ALONE. SIX WOMEN AGED BETWEEN 39 AND 53 YEARS WERE INTERVIEWED. ALL INTERVIEWS WERE RECORDED AND TRANSCRIBED IN FULL AND THE RESULTING TEXTS WERE SUBJECTED TO A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: MATERNITY; WORK; DIVISION OF TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES; AND CONFLICTS AND PERSONAL LIFE. THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT SEVERAL CHANGES SEEM TO BE TAKING PLACE IN THE FEMALE IDENTITY, ESPECIALLY IN THAT OF THE FEMALE HEADS OF HOUSEHOLD. THEY ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY AUTONOMOUS, INDEPENDENT AND FULFILLED. BOTH MOTHERHOOD AND WORK ARE CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL IN THEIR LIVES. THEY SEEM, HOWEVER, NOT TO HAVE COMPLETELY FREED THEMSELVES FROM THE OLD ROLES LINKED TO WOMEN, AS CAN BE SEEN IN A SERIES OF CONTRADICTIONS PRESENT IN THEIR SPEECH. WE CONCLUDE THAT MANY ACHIEVEMENTS HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED, BUT THE LEGACIES OF WOMEN'S HISTORY HAVE STILL INFLUENCED BRAZILIAN WOMEN VERY STRONGLY, WHICH END UP OSCILLATING BETWEEN TRADITIONAL AND CURRENT MODELS.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY WAS AIMED AT IDENTIFYING THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS BY PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS OF NITERÓI ABOUT THE THEME LEARNING EVALUATION. DEPARTING FROM A REVIEW OF WORLD EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT IN MANY DIFFERENT PERIODS OF TIME AND COUNTRIES, THIS STUDY SHOWED THE BASES OF BRAZILIAN EDUCATION SINCE THE COLONIZATION PERIOD. THEN, THE OBJECT OF INVESTIGATION – LEARNING EVALUATION - WAS CHARACTERIZED AND THE METHODS OF A TRADITIONAL AND NON TRADITIONAL EDUCATION SPECIFIED. THIS SEARCH WAS BASED ON A SOCIAL REPRESENTATION THEORY, BY SERGE MOSCOVICI, WHICH GIVES TO THE SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY GRATE CONTRIBUTION WITH SOME CONCEPTS. THE SOCIAL GROUPS ARE ONE OF THEM, FOR EXAMPLE. THE STUDY ALSO ADOPTED THE STRUCTURAL APPROACH OF THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS, PROPOSED BY JEAN CLAUDE ABRIC AND DEVELOPED BY PIERRE VÉRGES. THE FREE ASSOCIATION TEST GAVE US SOME ELEMENTS THAT APPEARED MORE FREQUENTLY SO MAKE PART OF CENTRAL NUCLEUS OF THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS. THIS INVESTIGATION ALSO APPLIED A LIST OF SERIES OF QUESTIONS WITH SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE EVALUATION STRATEGIES USED BY THE TEACHERS, AND OTHER ONES.THE RESULTS OF BOTH INSTRUMENTS WERE COMPARED BY OBSERVING THE FREQUENCY OF THE ANSWERS. THAT WAS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF TWO STATISTICAL PACKAGES: EVOC AND STATISTICAL PACKAGE FOR SOCIAL SCIENCES – SPSS. THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE STUDY WAS EIGHT FOUR TEACHERS, THAT WORKS IN FIVE SCHOOLS OF NITERÓI RESULTS SUGGEST THAT THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF THE TEACHERS ARE FORMED BY ELEMENTS THAT INDICATES THE NECESSITY OF EVALUATION, NOT TO APPROVE OR REPROVE THE STUDENTS, BUT TO REORGANIZE THEIR PRACTICES.

ABSTRACT
THE LOW QUANTITATIVE OF INDICATION OF HIGH ABILITIES/HIGHLY GIFTED PUPILS CARRIED THROUGH BY THE PROFESSORS OF DUQUE DE CAXIAS(RJ) IS INVESTIGATED IN THIS WORK WITH OBJECTIVE OF VERIFY THE DIFFICULTIES FOUND FOR THE PROFESSOR IN THIS PROCESS. DESPITE THE QUANTITATIVE O F SCHOOLS THAT HAD DIRECTED PUPILS FOR THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN LOW THROUGH THE EVALUATIONS EVIDENCES THAT, THE ORIENTATIONS WORKED, THROUGHOUT THE QUALIFICATIONS ON THE SUBJECT HAD FAVOURED THE IDENTIFICATION OF THESE PUPILS. THE SUBJECTS OF THIS RESEARCH AR E CONSTITUTED BY THE RESPONDENT PROFESSORS WHO HAD PARTICIPATED OF THE IMPLANTATION OF THE PROGRAM ATTENDANCE IN DC AND ARE DIVIDED IN THE RESEARCH IN TWO GROUPS: 26 PROFESSORS WHO HAD INDICATED PUPILS FOR THE PROGRAM (GROUP 1) AND 26 OTHER PROFESSORS WHO HAD NOT INDICATED PUPILS (GROUP 2). THE INSTRUMENTS APPLIED IN THIS RESEARCH: A) DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF RESPONDENTS, WHAT SEGMENT THEY TEACH, HOW LONG HAVE THEY TEACHING AND AGE; B) BECOMES A SURVEY OF POSSIBLE ELEMENTS OF THE SOCIAL REPRESENTATION OF THIS PROFESSOR THROUGH THE INDUCTIVE TERMS: HIGH ABILITIES/HIGHLY GIFTED AND SPECIAL EDUCATION; C) THREE QUANDARIES BASED ON THE THEORY OF MORAL JUDGMENT OF L. KOHLBERG (1984) AND ON MYTHS OF WINNER (1998) REFERRING TO THE HIGH ABILITIES/HIGHLY GIFTED ARE APPL IED. THUS, IT HAS STRONG INDICATIONS THAT THE MYTHS ABOUT THE HIGH ABILITIES/HIGHLY GIFTED INFLUENCE THE INDICATION/NOT INDICATION OF THESE PUPILS AND THAT THESE MYTHS MUST BE WORKED NEXT TO THE PROFESSORS IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THE INDICATION AND TO EXTEN D THE KNOWLEDGE OF THEM CONCERNING THIS THEMATIC.

ABSTRACT
THIS STUDY ANALYZES HOW PROBLEMATIC IS TH E LACK OF DIAGNOSTIC AND CARE IN REGARD TO GIFTED STUDENTS IN MOST SCHOOLS. SINCE BOTH DEPEND ON TEACHERS’ OBSERVATION CAPABILITIES DURING CLASS, WE ESTABLISHED AS GENERAL OBJECTIVES INVESTIGATING SUCH PROFESSIONALS’ KNOWLEDGE ABOUT “HIGH ABILITIES” CONCEP T AND VERIFYING HOW CAN GIFTED STUDENTS BE DIAGNOSISED. AS SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES, IT ANALYZES ITS PARTICIPANTS KNOWLEDGE ABOUT PUBLIC POLITICS IN REGARD TO SPECIALIZED CARE FOR THIS GROUP (GIFTED STUDENTS) AND TEACHERS’ FUNCTIONS FOR THIS JOB. THE RESEARCH TOOK PLACE IN COLÉGIO PEDRO II, AT TEACHING DIVISIONS SÃO CRISTÓVÃO I, II AND III. IT’S A FEDERAL PUBLIC SCHOOL, LOCATED IN RIO DE JANEIRO, VERY TRADITIONAL AND SOCIALLY ACKNOWLEDGED FOR ITS FACULTY’S AND STUDENT STAFF’S EXCELLENCE. THIRTY-SIX TEACHERS AND FOUR DIFFERENT SCHOOL SECTORS, CHARGED WITH KEEPING ENROLLED STUDENTS’ DATA, WERE TAKEN AS SAMPLE. COLLECTED DATA FOR THIS STUDY WAS ANALYZED USING OF CONTENTS’ ANALYSIS QUALITATIVE METHODO. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT ANSWERING TEACHERS HAVE SOCIAL REPRESEN TATIONS REGARDING TO GIFTED STUDENTS. THEY’RE INSECURE, THOUGH, IN ACCORD TO THEIR TESTIMONIES, ABOUT HOW TO REPORT THOSE STUDENTS’ DIAGNOSTICS TO SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION. IN ALL TEACHING DIVISIONS, THERE WERE NO REGISTERED REPORTING OF ANY GIFTED STUDENTS D IAGNOSTICS. ONE CONCLUDES THAT THERE MUST BE PEDAGOGIC-ADMINISTRATIVE INVESTMENTS, SO STEPS MIGHT BE TAKEN TO AMELIORATE THE CURRENT SITUATION, SINCE THERE IS A SPECIAL EDUCATION SECTOR IN THE SCHOOL, AS WELL AS KNOWLEDGE OF LEGISLATION THAT GRANTS SUCH CA RING.

ABSTRACT
SOCIETY HAS CHANGED, BRINGING A NEW WAY OF FAMILY ORGANIZATION AND A NEW LOOK ON PARENTS’ PARTICIPATION IN THIS SYSTEM. IN THIS WAY, FAMILIES WITH MENTALLY RETARDED CHILDREN NEED EVEN MORE PARENTS’ PARTICIPATION AND INVOLVEMENT WITH THEIR CHILDREN, INSIDE AND OUT OF FAMILIAR ENVIRONMENT. RECENT STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT THE INVOLVEMENT OF PARENTS WITH THEIR CHILDREN IS INFLUENCED BY ENRICHED SOCIAL SKILLS REPERTOIRES. THIS WORK HAS INVESTIGATED IF THE SOCIAL SKILLS OF MENTALLY RETARDED CHILDREN’S PARENTS HAVE INFLUENCED ON THE INTENSITY AND QUALITY OF THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN CHILDREN EDUCATION. IT WAS COMPARED FATHERS AND MOTHERS OF MENTALLY RETARDED CHILDREN AND FATHERS AND MOTHERS OF NORMAL CHILDREN. ACCORDING TO THIS, THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO COMPARE AND CORRELATE THE INDICATORS OF THE REPERTOIRE OF SOCIAL SKILLS AND OF THE PARENTS’ INVOLVEMENT ON CHILDREN EDUCATION, COMPARING MOTHER AND FATHER ON BOTH MEASURE GROUPS. 27 COUPLES (FATHERS AND MOTHERS) LIVING TOGETHER WITH THEIR CHILDREN HAVE PARTICIPATED OF THE STUDY. THEIR 7-14 YEAR OLD CHILDREN WERE DIAGNOSED AS MENTALLY RETARDED, AND THEY WERE FROM AN INSTITUTION FOR DISABILITY BEARER INDIVIDUALS (FUNLAR). ANOTHER GROUP WAS COMPOSED OF 25 COUPLES WITH NORMAL 7-14 YEAR OLD CHILDREN, BOTH LIVING TOGETHER. THE PARENTS HAVE ANSWERED THREE QUESTIONNAIRES: “CRITÉRIO BRASIL”; “QUALITY OF FAMILY INTERACTION FROM PARENTS PERSPECTIVE”; AND THE “SOCIAL SKILL INVENTORY”. THE RESULTS SHOWED NO STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE INDICATORS OF SOCIAL SKILLS AND OF PARENTS’ INVOLVEMENT IN CHILDREN EDUCATION. IT WAS FOUND A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE “SELF-STATEMENT ON POSITIVE EXPRESSION OF FEELINGS FACTOR” AND THE “CARE FACTOR”, IN THE GROUP OF MENTALLY RETARDED CHILDREN’S PARENTS (R=0,296; P=0,030). IN THE CONTROL GROUP, THERE WAS A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE “AGRESSIVITY SELF-CONTROL FACTOR” AND THE “INVOLVEMENT, COMMUNICATION EDUCATIVE SOCIAL SKILLS FACTOR” (R=0,306; P=0,031). IN SPITE OF MENTALLY RETARDED CHILDREN’S PARENTS HAVE PRESENTED A GOOD SOCIAL SKILLS REPERTOIRE, THE RESULTS SHOWED A BIGGER PARTICIPATION OF THE MOTHERS IN “COMMUNICATION EDUCATIVE SOCIAL SKILLS” (T= -5,028; P=0,000), IN THE “SCHOOL/CULTURE/LEISURE PARTICIPATION FACTOR” (T= -6,695; P=0,000) AND IN THE “CARE FACTOR” (T= -8,833; P=0,000). THE RESULTS SUGGESTED, ALSO, THAT THE FATHERS OF THIS GROUP COULD NOT GET INVOLVED WITH THEIR CHILDREN, ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE A GOOD SOCIAL SKILLS REPERTOIRE. COMPARING THE MOTHERS FROM BOTH GROUPS IN THE SOCIAL SKILLS AND INVOLVEMENT IN CHILDREN EDUCATION INDICATORS, THERE WAS A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE “COPING FACTOR” AND THE “SELF-STATEMENT WITH RISK FACTOR” (SOCIAL SKILLS) (T= 2,077; P=0,043). MOTHERS OF NORMAL CHILDREN HAVE DEMONSTRATED A NEED TO POSITION THEMSELVES MORE ASSERTIVELY IN FRONT OF THE CHILDREN OVERCOMING THE AVERAGES OF MENTALLY RETARDED CHILDREN IN THIS FACTOR.

ABSTRACT
ADOPTING AS THEORETICAL REFERENCE FOR PERSONAL VALUES STUDIES THE MODEL OF SCHWARTZ (2006), FOR APPROACHING ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES, SCHWARTZ AND ROS (1995) MODEL; ADOPTING FOR STUDYING COMMITMENT THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL MODEL OF MEYER AND ALLEN(1997); THIS THESIS AIMS AT INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF ORGANIZATIONAL AND PERSONAL VALUES IN THE COMMITMENT TO THE ORGANIZATION. THE STUDY SURVEYED 311 EMPLOYEES OF BOTH SEXES, FROM 11 COMPANIES, BELONGING TO VARIOUS SEGMENTS, LOCATED IN RIO DE JANEIRO. FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF PERSONAL VALUES, WAS USED SCHWARTZ VALUES SURVEY - SVS, AS VALIDATED IN BRAZIL BY TAMAYO AND SCHWARTZ (1993), WHILE THE ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES WERE EVALUATED USING THE INVENTORY OF ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES, DEVELOPED BY TAMAYO AND COLS (2000). IN MEASURING THE ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT WAS USED THE ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT SCALE BY MEYER AND ALLEN (1997), AS VALIDATED FOR BRAZILIAN SAMPLES BY FERREIRA, ASSMAR, SOUTO, BRAGA AND PACHECO (2002). THE RESULTS OF HIERARCHICAL LINEAR MULTIPLE REGRESSIONS SHOWED THAT: (1) PEOPLE WHO ENDORSE PERSONAL VALUES OF CONSERVATION AND UNDERSTAND THEIR ORGANIZATION AS CONSERVATIVE AND HAVING ESTABLISHED HIERARCHIES, ARE MORE PRONE TO BIND AFFECTIVELY TO THE ORGANIZATION; (2) PEOPLE WHO REALIZE THAT THEIR ORGANIZATION VALUES THE AUTONOMY, TEND TO SHOW GREATER CALCULATIVE COMMITMENT; (3) PEOPLE WHO GIVE MORE PERSONAL VALUE TO CONSERVATION AND TO SELF-PROMOTION, TEND TO SHOW GREATER REGULATORY COMMITMENT TO THE ORGANIZATION AND (4) WOMEN TEND TO BE MORE AFFECTIVELY COMMITTED TO THE ORGANIZATION, WHILE MEN TEND TO SHOW MORE COMMITMENT TO THE ORGANIZATION IN A CALCULATIVE AND REGULATORY WAY. THESE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED IN THE LIGHT OF THE THEORETICAL MODELS THAT HAVE GIVEN SUPPORT TO THE RESEARCH, AND BY MEANS OF CONCLUSION, SOME SUGGESTIONS OF STRATEGIES BASED ON VALUES ARE PRESENTED, THAT ARE CAPABLE OF ROUSING MORE COMMITMENT FROM THE EMPLOYEE.

ABSTRACT
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING PRACTICES TO THE ORGANIZATIONS GUIDES THE INTEREST IN INVESTIGATING BETTER WAYS TO EVALUATE TRAINING ACTIONS. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY IS TO INVESTIGATE THE IMPACT OF TRAINING ON THE WORK ENVIRONMENT AND THE VARIABLES THAT PREDICT IT. THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES ARE: (A) VALIDATE AN EXPECTANCY SCALE RELATED TO DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING (D&T) ACTIONS; (B) MEASURE RESULTS ACHIEVED BY D&T ACTIONS, CONSIDERING REACTIONS AND IMPACT OVER JOB BEHAVIOR LEVELS; (C) IDENTIFY IF INDIVIDUAL AND TRAINING CHARACTERISTICS INFLUENCE ON EFFICACY OF TRAINING ACTIONS; AND (D) VERIFY IF THE EXPECTANCY RELATED TO THE TRAINING ACTIONS IS ASSOCIATED TO THE REACTION AND TO THE IMPACT OF TRAINING AT JOB BEHAVIOR LEVEL. THE RESEARCH WAS OF QUANTITATIVE NATURE AND WAS HELD IN A FEDERAL AUTARCHY WITH QUESTIONNAIRES APPLICATION, WITH SCALES PREVIOUSLY VALIDATED AND IN THREE PHASES: BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE TRAINING EVENT TO MEASURE EXPECTANCIES RELATED TO THE TRAINING (472 QUESTIONNAIRES); IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE COURSE, TO EVALUATE THE REACTIONS (485 QUESTIONNAIRES); AND ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AFTER THE END OF THE COURSE, TO EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF TRAINING OVER JOB BEHAVIOR LEVEL (296 QUESTIONNAIRES). THE PARTICIPANTS´ ANSWERS WERE SUBMITTED TO DESCRIPTIVE, AVERAGE COMPARISON, CORRELATION ANALYSIS AND STANDARD MULTIPLE REGRESSIONS. THE FINAL STRUCTURE OF EXPECTANCY SCALE HAD TWO FACTORS: UTILITY AND PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT EXPECTANCY; AND EXPECTANCY OF IMPROVEMENT OVER PERFORMANCE. THE MAIN RESULTS WERE: (A) HIGH LEVELS OF EXPECTANCIES RELATED TO TRAINING AND EVEN HIGHER FOR WOMEN AND FOR LOW EDUCATION EMPLOYEES; (B) PEOPLE WHO OCCUPY ASSISTANT POSITIONS SHOWN HIGHER MEANS OF IMPROVEMENT OVER PERFORMANCE EXPECTANCY THAN PEOPLE WHO OCCUPY ANALYST, TECHNOLOGISTS AND RESEARCHERS POSITIONS. (C) HIGH PERCEPTION OF IMPACT OF TRAINING AT WORK BY TRAINEES; (D) PEOPLE WITH LOWER EDUCATION LEVEL NOTICED HIGHER IMPACT OF TRAINING OVER JOB; (E) PARTICIPANTS OF COGNITIVE NATURE TRAININGS RELATED HIGHER EFFICACY OF THE EVALUATED TRAINING ACTIONS; (F) PEOPLE WHO PRESENTED MORE POSITIVE IMPROVEMENT OVER PERFORMANCE EXPECTANCY AND REACTION TOWARD TRAINING TENDS TO NOTICE ALSO HIGHER TRAINING IMPACT OVER JOB PERFORMANCE. SOME OF THE RESULTS THAT HAVE BEEN FOUND CONFIRM OTHER NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, ESPECIALLY OVER THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TRAINEE CHARACTERISTICS TO EXPLAIN THE TRAINING EFFICACY. THE STUDY OF TRAINEE EXPECTANCY AS A PREDICTOR VARIABLE IS UNPUBLISHED IN THE NATIONAL LITERATURE AND SUSTAINS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INVESTIGATION OF INDIVIDUAL FACTORS OVER THE TRAINING RESULTS. THE PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED AND IT IS PRESENTED A SUGGESTED AGENDA TO FUTURE RESEARCHES.

ABSTRACT
TO THINK ETHICS IN THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM ASKS REFLECTION ON CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY AND CURRENT SCHOOL, ITS ORGANISATIONAL, POLITICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL GROUND. THE REFLECTION ON THE DIVERSE ASPECTS OF HUMAN BEHAVIOUR MUST BE PART OF THE MOST OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHOOL ENGAGED IN FORMATION FOR CITIZENSHIP. THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE STUDY WERE 42 TEACHERS OF 1ST TO 9TH GRADE OF THE SCHOOLS IN DUQUE DE CAXIAS COUNTY (RIO DE JANEIRO), WHERE THESE PROFESSIONALS HAVE AN IMPORTANT PRESENCE PRESERVED. THE SOCIAL REFLECTION QUESTIONNAIRE (GIBBS & SROM, 1987) WAS APPLIED BEFORE AND AFTER THE SERIES OF MEETING, IN ORDER TO CONFIRM THE VALIDATION OF THE PRACTICE OF EXERCISE OF MORAL JUDGMENT IN SCHOOLS. FOR THE MEETINGS, SIX QUANDARIES OF GENERAL AND SCHOOL CONTENTS HAD BEEN USED, ADAPTED OF QUANDARIES ALREADY USED BY BARRETO (1990), BLATT, COLBY E SPEICHER (1974) AND ARGUED IN MONTHLY MEETINGS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPOSAL OF WORK RELATED TO THE ETHICS, MORAL JUDGMENT AND PRACTICAL EDUCATIVE. THE ARGUMENTS HAD OCCURRED IN A PERIOD OF LEARNING SEMESTER, WHERE THE GROUP WAS CONGREGATED TO DEVELOP ACTIONS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT, FOLLOWING THE PROPOSAL OF ANALYSIS OF QUANDARIES OF THE TEACHER TRAINING IN VALUES EDUCATION, WORKSHOP DEVELOPED BY KOHLBERG (1976). RESULTS OF AFTER-TEST (T= -4,889; P=, 000) INDICATED THE IMPORTANCE OF EXERCISE OF MORAL JUDGMENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CITIZENS ENGAGED WITH ETHICS, CITIZENSHIP AND COLLECTIVE. IN SUCH A WAY, THE RESEARCH STOOD OUT THE IMPORTANCE OF EXERCISE OF ANALYSIS OF THE MORAL QUANDARIES IN THE SOCIAL COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT OF SUBJECTS. THIS PROPOSAL IS STRENGTHENED BY THE INSERTION OF THE SUBJECT ETHICS IN THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM PARAMETERS, BY THE IMPORTANCE IN ANALYSIS OF CURRENT SOCIAL CASES BY COLLECTIVE OF THE SCHOOL, BEYOND VERIFYING THE MULTIPLE POSSIBILITIES OF WORK INVOLVING CURRICULUM, PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE AND MORAL JUDGMENT, IN A RELATIONARY PERSPECTIVE BETWEEN COGNITION, AFFECTIVITY AND ATTITUDE.

ABSTRACT
THE JOB MARKET HAS BECOME EVEN MORE COMPETITIVE REQUESTING FOR AVAILABILITY OF EFFECTUAL WORKFORCE. IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND SUCH NECESSITIES THE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE DEVELOPED TRAINING, DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS EXPECTING TO REACH THUS EFFICIENT RESULTS IN COMPARISON TO THE HUMAN RESOURCES. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH WAS TO VERIFY WHETHER THE BELIEFS AND THE MOTIVATION RELATED TO THE TRAINING DO INFLUENCE THE RESULTS OF THE LEARNING PROCESS OR NOT. THIS RESEARCH HAD AS ITS SCIENTIFIC PURPOSE TO IDENTIFY HOW POSITIVE THE BELIEFS MENTIONED ARE OVER THE TRAINING SYSTEM, TO MEASURE THE REACHED RESULTS THROUGH ACTIONS OF TD& E REGARDING THE LEARNING LEVELS AND REACTION OBTAINED AND FINALLY TO IDENTIFY WHETHER THE INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS INFLUENCE THE MOTIVATION TO LEARN, THE REACTION TOWARDS THE TRAINING AND ALSO VERIFY IF THE BELIEFS AND THE MOTIVATION PREDICT THE REACTION TOWARDS NOT ONLY THE TRAINING BUT ALSO THE LEARNING PROCESS. THE SAMPLE OF RESEARCH WAS OF 220 CITIZENS, THAT WORK IN SEVEN PRIVATE COMPANIES OF THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO, WITH FOCUS FOR WORKERS WITH LEVEL OF BASIC AND AVERAGE SCHOOL STUDENTS. SCALES VALIDATED HAD BEEN USED PREVIOUSLY TO MEASURE THE MOTIVATION TO LEARN, THE BELIEFS ON THE TD&E SYSTEM AND THE REACTION TO THE TRAINING. THE LEARNING WAS MEASURED BY MEANS OF PROPS UP THEM OF PROFIT OF NOTES GOTTEN IN TESTS CARRIED THROUGH BEFORE AND AFTER THE QUALIFICATION COURSES. DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSES, TEST T HAD BEEN BECOME FULL FILLED, ANALYZE OF VARIANCE, CORRELATION AND REGRESSION. THE FINAL RESULTS INDICATE THAT MEN WHO HAD WORKED PREVIOUSLY IN OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND THOSE WHO HAD NO DEGREE PRESENTED SOME MORE POSITIVE IDEAS OVER THE T & D SYSTEM, IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THEY HAD PRESENTED SIMILAR LEVELS OF MOTIVATION TO LEARN IN ALL CASES. THE MOTIVATION TO LEARN, HOWEVER, IT WAS BIGGER BETWEEN THAT ARE WORKING HAS LESS OF ONE YEAR IN THE CURRENT COMPANY. IF IT DID NOT FIND PREDICTIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MOTIVATION TO LEARN AND THE RESULTS OF TRAINING IN THE REACTION LEVELS OR LEARNING. THE BELIEFS HAD HELPED TO EXPLAIN THE RESULTS GOTTEN IN THE REACTION TO THE TRAINING. IN RELATION TO THE LEARNING, THE REACTIONS HAD ONLY APPEARED AS CHANGEABLE PREDICTORS. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE RESULTS WERE DEBATED AND SUGGESTED AN OVERALL AGENDA RESEARCH TOWARDS THE AREA IN QUESTION.

ABSTRACT
THERE ARE MANY CHALLENGES WHEN IT COMES TO PSYCHOLOGICAL, SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL ASPECTS OF GIFTED AND HIGHLY TALENTED ADOLESCENTS. IN THIS PAPER WE PRESENT RESEARCHES WHICH EMPHASIZE PSYCHO-PEDAGOGICAL DEVELOPMENT, SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL ASPECTS, INTELLIGENCE, CREATIVITY AND TALENT OF THESE ADOLESCENTS. SOME OF THESE THEORIES POINT TO THE COEXISTENCE OF DIFFERENT FORMS OF IDENTIFICATION AND ASSISTANCE THAT TRY TO CONTEMPLATE THE COMPLEXITY AND DIVERSITY OF THESE INDIVIDUALS. THESE RESEARCHES MAJOR FOCUS ON THESE ADOLESCENT’S DEVELOPMENT AND PSYCHO-PEDAGOGICAL SUPPORT WHICH IS OFFERED TO THEM, LEAVING ASIDE THE FAMILY, A FUNDAMENTAL PILLAR OF ANYONE’S DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH. INSERTING THE FAMILY IN THE ASSISTANCE PROJECTS TO HIGHLY GIFTED ADOLESCENTS IS GIVING THEM BETTER ORIENTATION TO DEAL WITH PRESSURES, EXPECTATIONS, VANITIES, DISCIPLINE, RESPECT AND DEDICATION, ALL OF THESE FUNDAMENTAL TO INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILIAR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER, BEFORE INCLUDING THE FAMILY IN THIS PROCESS IT’S NECESSARY TO KNOW IT. THE DIVERSITY EXISTENT IN FAMILIAR STRUCTURES MAY BECOME AN OBSTACLE TO THEIR INCLUSION. THIS STUDY’S OBJECTIVE WAS TO INVESTIGATE THE RELATIONS BETWEEN FAMILY DYNAMICS AND THE ASSISTANCE TO HIGHLY GIFTED ADOLESCENTS. SIX FAMILIES TOOK PART ON THE RESEARCH, ALL OF THEM WITH ADOLESCENTS WITH THE MENTIONED CHARACTERISTICS. THE FAMILIES WERE DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS, IN ONE OF THEM THE ADOLESCENTS RECEIVED ASSISTANCE FROM A PROJECT, AND IN THE OTHER ONE THEY DIDN’T RECEIVE ANY ASSISTANCE DURING THE RESEARCH PERIOD. THE FAMILY’S DYNAMIC EVALUATION WAS MADE USING EFE – ENTREVISTA FAMILIAR ESTRUTURADA (STRUCTURED FAMILY INTERVIEW). TWO OTHER INSTRUMENTS WERE DEVELOPED FOR THIS WORK: PSYCHOLOGICAL, SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL PROFILE OF THE FAMILY AND A SEMI-STRUCTURE FAMILY INTERVIEW. THE MAIN RESULTS SHOW DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS WHEN IT COMES TO INVESTMENTS IN PROJECTS AND IN RELATION TO KNOWLEDGE ON THE SUBJECT. WITHOUT EXCEPTION, ALL FAMILIES SHOW MODIFICATIONS WHEN THE ADOLESCENT PARTICIPATES IN THE PROJECT. IN THE EVALUATIONS OF FAMILY DYNAMICS, WHEN ANALYZED INDIVIDUALLY, THE FAMILIES HAD DIFFERENCES, BUT WHEN ANALYZED AS A WHOLE ALL HAD IN COMMON EASINESS AND DIFFICULTIES FACING THE ADOLESCENTS IDENTIFIED, DEMONSTRATING THE NEED NOT ONLY OF ASSISTANCE, BUT ALSO OF FAMILY SUPPORT AND INVOLVEMENT IN PROJECTS. WE WANT TO DISCUSS THESE RESULTS, NOT TO EXHAUST THE POSSIBILITIES OF RESPONSE TO THE PRESENTED PROBLEM, BUT TO RAISE SOME QUESTIONS AND PROMOTE FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE INCLUSION AND PARTICIPATION OF SUPPORT PROJECTS FOR THIS POPULATION.

ABSTRACT
THE AIM OF THIS WORK IS TO ANALYZE AND DISCUSS THE PSYCHOLOGICAL BONDS AND THE DIFFERENT WAYS TO LEARNING OF CONTEMPORARY ADOLESCENTS. IN ORDER TO REACH OUR OBJECTIVE, WE STARTED OUT A DISCUSSION REGARDING THE ADOLESCENT IN A PRESENT-DAY SOCIAL-CULTURAL CONTEXT. PARTING FROM THE SOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS THAT OCCURRED DUE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES, IT IS POSSIBLE TO SEE THAT THE PSYCHOSOCIAL BONDS OF THESE ADOLESCENTS HAVE BECOME MORE AND MORE COMPLEX, AND ARE CHARACTERIZED AS PRODUCTS OF INTERCONNECTIONS THAT REFLECT SOCIAL-CULTURAL ASPECTS OF A NEW REALITY, WHICH CAN BE THOUGHT AS CONTEMPORARY. WE TRY TO DISCUSS THE PSYCHO-SOCIAL BONDS PRESENT IN THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE ADOLESCENT AND THE VIRTUAL SPACE, AS WELL AS VIRTUAL COMMUNITIES, RELATING THEM TO THE WAY THEY ACTUALLY LEARN. FROM THIS PERSPECTIVE ON, THE FIELD RESEARCH WAS CONDUCTED IN TWO SCHOOLS, ONE PUBLIC AND ONE PRIVATE, IN TWO DIFFERENT COUNTIES OF RIO DE JANEIRO. THE INSTRUMENTS USED WERE A QUESTIONNAIRE - COMO EU GOSTO DE APRENDER (HOW I LIKE TO LEARN) AND A SCRIPT FOR INTERVIEWS WITH FOCAL GROUPS. THE QUESTIONNAIRES WERE TAKEN BY 134 ADOLESCENTS, BETWEEN AGES OF 13 AND 17, AND 38 ADOLESCENTS PARTICIPATED OF FOUR FOCAL GROUPS, TWO BETWEEN AGES OF 13 AND 15 AND TWO BETWEEN 16 AND 17; TWO FROM PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND TWO FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THE RESULTS LED US TO POINT OUT THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF PSYCHO-SOCIAL BONDS OF THE ADOLESCENTS AS BEEN THE ABILITY TO INTERACT, TO SEARCH NEW INFORMATION, THE NEED FOR THE IMMEDIATE, AND MOBILITY. THE GLOBALIZED WORLD DEMANDS A NEW COGNITIVE ECOLOGY, SHOWN IN NEW LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS WHERE THE MOBILITY AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF KNOWLEDGE BY THE STUDENT ARE HIGHLIGHTED. IT IS A GROUP EQUIPMENT OF SUBJECTIVITIES, WHICH MODIFIES THE LEARNING METHODS, THE TRANSMISSION OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE MEANS OF ACQUIRING NEW KNOWLEDGE. SUCH EQUIPMENTS FAVOR THE EMERGENCY OF AUTONOMY, AND A NEW LINING OF ADOLESCENT RELATIONS, HIGHLIGHTED BY THE PREDOMINANCE OF THE IMAGE, AND BY AN UNNECESSARY PARTICIPATION OF ADOLESCENTS IN ACTIVE RELATIONS – INSERTED IN A SOCIAL FIELD, WIDER AND WITHIN THE COLLECTIVE. THE EXPECTATION OF THIS STUDY IS THAT IT MAY WORK AS REFERENCE TO TEACHERS THAT WORK WITH ADOLESCENTS, AND ARE INTERESTED IN REFLECTING AND QUESTIONING NEW WAYS TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD KNOWLEDGE FROM SOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS IN A SOCIAL-HISTORICAL PRESENT-DAY CONTEXT.

ABSTRACT
ADOPTING AS THEORETICAL REFERENCE THE MODEL OF COOPER (2001), THIS DISSERTATION AIMED TO INVESTIGATE THE IMPACT OF SEVEN EN VIRONMENTAL SOURCES OF STRESS (C ONFLICT OF ROLES, WORK OVERLOAD, INTERPERSONAL DIFFICULTIES, WORK -FAMILY CONFLICT, WORK INSTABILITY, PRESSURE OF RESPONSIBILITY AND LACK OF AUTONOMY) AND THE NATURE OF THE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT (PERMANENT AND FLEXIBLE) IN THREE PSYCHOLOGICAL REA CTIONS TO OCCUPATIONAL STRESS (SATISFACTION AT WORK, POSITIVE AFFECTS AND N EGATIVE AFFECTS ADDRESSED TO THE CONTEXT OF WORK). 305 WORKERS FROM RIO DE JANEIRO AND SÃO PAULO PARTICIPATED IN THIS RESEARCH, OF BOTH SEXES, WITH AGES RANGING BETWEEN 17 AND 72 YEARS OLD (M= 34.6 AND SD= 12.3), DISTRIBUTED BETWEEN PERMANENT AND FLEXIBLE WORKERS. IT WAS USED A QUESTIONNAIRE TO COLLECT SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC DATA AND THREE INSTRUME NTS OF MEASURE: SCALE OF SOURCES OF STRESS IN THE ORGANIZATIONAL ENVIRONMENT, SCALE OF SATISFACTION AT WORK AND SCALE OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE AFFECTS AT WORK. THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT: (1) THE CONFLICT OF ROLES AND WORK OVERLOAD HAD A NEGATIVE IMPACT IN THE SATISFACTION AT WORK. (2) THE CONFLICT OF ROLES HAD A NEGATIVE IMPACT IN THE POSITIVE AFFECTS DIRECTED TO WORK, WHILE THE PRESSURE OF RESPONSIBILITY INTERFERED POSITIVELY. (3) THE WORK OVERLOAD INTERFERED POSITIVELY TO THE NEGATIVE AFFECTS DIRECTED TO WORK, WHILE THE PRESSURE OF RESPONSABILITY INTERFERED NEGATIVELY. (4) WOMEN WHEN COMPARED TO MEN, SHOWED GREATER DEGREE POSITIVE AFFECTIONS DIRECTED TO WORK. THESE RESULTS ARE DISCUSSED IN THE LIGHT OF THEORIES AND EMPIRICAL STUDIES THAT HAVE GIVEN SUPPORT TO THIS STUDY AND BY WAY OF CONCLUSION, PRESENTED SUGGESTIONS OF STUDIES CAPABLE OF CONTRIBUTE TO THE CONTINUATION OF THIS LINE OF RESEARCH.
