Dissertationen zum Thema „Histrionism“

La théâtralité est un leitmotiv dans Dance of the Happy Shades (1968), Lives of Girls and Women (1971) et Who Do You Think You Are? (1978) d’Alice Munro. D’une part, ces trois recueils de nouvelles mettent en scène des personnages qui dirigent, écrivent, interprètent ou observent du théâtre ; d’autre part, le lecteur assiste à de nombreuses scènes au cours desquelles les personnages portent différents costumes et masques sociaux afin de trouver leur place dans la société canadienne d’après Seconde Guerre mondiale. Si ces deux premières formes de théâtralité, que nous nommons respectivement « artistique » et « sociale », nécessitent de la part des personnages un certain degré de contrôle sur les rôles qu’ils interprètent, d’autres scènes, identifiées par les voix narratives comme étant théâtrales également, font quant à elles état d’une perte de contrôle qui les fait alors basculer dans le domaine de la psychologie. Cette dernière forme de théâtralité, nommée « théâtralisme » ou « histrionisme » en psychologie et en psychiatrie, intervient en effet lorsque certains personnages perdent le contrôle des rôles sociaux qu’ils interprètent au quotidien et sombrent de ce fait dans une mise en scène en tout point paroxystique qui est le signe d’une profonde crise d’identité. Dans cette étude, nous nous interrogerons sur les sources et les enjeux de ces trois niveaux de théâtralité, tout en identifiant les « glissements » qui conduisent les personnages à transposer les rôles qu’ils interprètent au théâtre en dehors de l’enceinte théâtrale, ou qui favorisent le basculement de la mise en scène contrôlée de la vie quotidienne vers une forme de théâtralisme témoignant d’une crise d’identité aiguë
Theatricality is a leitmotiv in Alice Munro’s early fiction, notably in Dance of the Happy Shades (1968), Lives of Girls and Women (1971) and Who Do You Think You Are? (1978), in which at least three different forms of theatricality intermingle. Indeed, in these short story collections, numerous characters are closely linked to the theatre or the opera either as actors, singers, directors and writers, or as spectators. Other characters however are part of what Erving Goffman calls the “presentation of everyday life” inasmuch as they constantly wear a number of social masks and costumes so as to find their place in postwar Canadian society. In addition to these two forms of theatricality, that we will call respectively “artistic” and “social”, the reader can witness a number of scenes which are identified by the various narrative voices as being theatrical, and yet are neither entirely artistic or social. These scenes, which underscore the characters’ loss of control of the daily roles they perform, are reminiscent of the notions of “theatricalism” and “histrionism” in psychological and psychiatric studies, defined by the American Psychiatric Association in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) as “a pervasive pattern of excessive emotionality and attention-seeking, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts”. In this study, we aim to determine what the sources and stakes of theatricality are in Alice Munro’s Dance of the Happy Shades, Lives of Girls and Women and Who Do You Think You Are?, while analyzing the way artistic, social and psychological theatricality intermingle or echo each other in these short story collections

The thesis is focused on basic understanding of the actor as an acting component of the theatre piece and follows his work and creation during the life theatre performace as well as during the rehearsing process (with description of general acting technics).

Harlequin bugs are orange and black aggregation pheromone emitting stink bug pests, specifically of cole crops such as kale, broccoli and collards. This nearly loyal crop preference makes an interesting challenge for trapping them and helping farmers predict pest severity. Harlequin bugs can be found in much of North America, and are a serious problem in the southeastern United States. Presumably their persistence into northern regions is limited by extreme winters. In 2014 and 2015 the arctic polar vortex extended into mid-latitudes bringing a blanket of sustained sub-freezing temperatures to much of the United States. We used these events to determine effects of extreme winter weather on harlequin bug survival. In both years we observed nearly identical low temperatures of -15oC and this linked to high (80-96%) harlequin bug mortality. In the lab we measured exact lethal freezing temperatures in harlequin bugs (i.e. supercooling points) to see if a physiological metric could be used to predict overwinter survival. Harlequin bug adults froze and died at -10.4oC, and similarly, their larger juvenile stages freeze at -11.0oC. Freshly hatched harlequin bugs and unhatched eggs froze at considerably lower temperatures with eggs forming ice crystals at -23.2oC and recent hatches at -21.6oC. Now with an understanding of how harlequin bugs likely survive winter extreme, we can then work on developing a trap to tally their populations in the spring and predict summer and fall pest severity. In the lab and field, harlequin bug adults and large nymphs were more likely found on green and black colors, and statistically less frequently on yellow, white, purple or red colors with the exception of adult females, which were most attracted to red and green in the lab, but green and black in the field. To increase harlequin bug attraction to and termination at traps square corrugated plastic panels were wrapped with an insecticide netting and baited with harlequin bug aggregation pheromone, murgantiol. Bugs were effectively drawn to the panels, with green panels having significantly more dead harlequin bugs and fewer dead beneficial lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) at their base than yellow panels. Thus, green was chosen as the ideal trap color to use for another field experiment that evaluated three trap types -- a corrugated plastic square panel, pyramidal trap, and ramp trap -- each with three lure treatments, murgantiol alone or murgantiol plus a low or high rate of mustard oil. More bugs were killed with the pyramidal trap than with the panel trap or the ramp trap, and more bugs were killed at traps containing murgantiol combined with benzyl isothiocyanate than at those with murgantiol alone. This research demonstrated that with the proper visual elements and odors, harlequin bugs can be drawn to traps and effectively killed after contact with insecticide-incorporated netting.

This thesis will focus on Ezra Pound’s poem, Histrion, its associations with Stanislavskian method acting and their interface with translation studies. The title of “Histrion” is derived from the Latin word for an actor and Pound clearly wishes to suggest strong parallels between the voice of the poet and the voice of the actor. The work evokes a clairvoyant state of heightened consciousness achieved by the poet, in which he melds the subjectivities of the modern writer and the “souls of all men great” (earlier poets such as Dante and Villon) in a translucent flame of fused form. The thesis will explore the phenomenological implications of merging two identities and then apply the seemingly far-fetched concept of metempsychosis suggested in Pound’s poem to translation studies with reference to contemporaneous (to Pound) Stanislavskian acting approaches. For Pound as creative re-writer, as for the creative method actor, all demarcation between the two subjects dissolves. Likewise, in literary translation, as much of Pound’s work exemplifies, the melding and mingling of the author’s and the translator’s subjectivities can be a viable methodology. Such histrionic translation attempts to enact and even resurrect the persona of the source text in the target version. Thus I propose to meld Stanislavskian acting theories with Pound’s sense of metempsychosis and metamorphosis with application to the study of literary translation.

Harlequin bug (HB), Murgantia histrionica (Hahn), is a pest of cole crops. Alternative control strategies were investigated for control of HB, including trap cropping and systemic neonicotinoid insecticide applications. Potential trap crops, mustard (Brassica juncea â Southern Giant Curledâ ), rapeseed (B. napus â Athenaâ ), rapini (B. rapa) and arugula (Eruca sativa) were preferred over collard (B. oleracea â Championâ ), and a non-brassica control, bean (Phaseolus vulgaris â Broncoâ ) in field-cage choice tests. Harlequin bug could not complete development on bean, developed poorly on arugula but was found to complete development on mustard, collard, rapeseed and rapini. In the field, mustard was found to be an effective trap crop for reducing HB feeding injury on collard at three experimental sites in 2010 and 2011. Augmentation of the mustard trap crop with a systemic, neonicotinoid insecticide did not increase the level of control of harlequin bug for the duration of the ten week growing period. In olfactometer choice tests, male HB responded to plant volatiles of bean, collard and mustard, but preferred Brassica volatiles over those from bean. Female response to plant volatiles alone was weak and inconsistent. Both males and females preferred volatiles from other males feeding on Brassica host plant over plant volatiles alone, and were deterred by volatiles from males feeding on bean versus the plant alone. Laboratory toxicity assays revealed that the neonicotinoid insecticides imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, dinotefuran, and clothianidin were toxic to HB nymphs; LC50 = 0.57, 0.52, 0.39, and 0.39 mg ai/liter, respectively. Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of these insecticides over time when applied as a one-time drench, and all were found to provide significantly higher mortality of HB for at least 14 days after application.

This study conducted convergent validation on participant’s identification with the prototypical values of histrionic personality disorder repertoire, an important part of acceptance and commitment psychotherapy (ACT). The Multiaxial Inventory of Personality (MCMI – III) was administered to two mixed groups of participants (cases versus controls). Participants were also interviewed using the SCID- II,and a structured interview The content analysis of the structured interviews showed that participants with the disorder had the highest mean in the “A-R-VP self-report identification” at all the 12 values examined on a 0 to 5 point scale, with scores closer to 5. Meanwhile, those without the disorder had scores of identification between 0 and 1. The results of the Student t test confirmed the findings. People with histrionic personality disorder identify themselves with a repertoire of twelve characteristic values of this disorder.
El presente estudio validó  convergentemente, tras un análisis de contenido de entrevistas estructuradas, a un grupo de participantes “casos” versus un grupo equivalente de “controles” mixto su identificación con un repertorio de valores prototípicos del trastorno histriónico de la personalidad. Se aplicó la entrevista SCID-II, el  Inventario Multiaxial  de Personalidad MCMI-III  y la entrevista estructurada. Se halló que los participantes con el trastorno mostraron las medias más altas en su reporte de identificación con  un conjunto de 12 valores examinados  una escala de 0-5 en oposición a quienes no tenían dicho trastorno, los cuales tuvieron puntajes de identificación entre 0 y 1. Los resultados de la prueba t de student confirmaron lo anterior. Se concluye  que  las personas evaluadas con trastorno histriónico de la personalidad  se identifican con un repertorio de doce valores característicos de este trastorno.
La présente étude a validé de manière convergente l’identification que les participants de deux groupes mixtes équivalents, l’un de cas et l’autre de contrôles, ont fait sur un répertoire de valeurs prototypiques du trouble de personnalité histrionique, en tenant compte de son importance dans la diffusion et l’acceptation dans la thérapie d’acceptation et d’engagement (ACT). L’interview SCID-II, l’Inventaire Multiaxial de Personnalité MCMI-III et une entretien structurée ont été appliquées. Après avoir analysé le contenu des entretiens structurés et l’auto-rapport (A-R-VP) des identifications avec les valeurs du trouble en question, il a été constaté que les participants avec le trouble de la personnalité histrionique montraient les moyens les plus élevés sur une échelle de 0 -5, avec des valeurs plus proches de 5, alors que celles sans trouble présentaient des scores d’identification entre 0 et 1 sur la même échelle. Les résultats du test t de Student ont confirmé ce qui précède. On conclut que les personnes évaluées avec un trouble de la personnalité histrionique sont identifiées avec un répertoire de douze valeurs caractéristiques de ce trouble
O presente estudo validou a identificação com um repertório de valores prototípicos do transtorno de personalidade histriônica de um grupo de participantes com esse distúrbio em oposição a outro grupo de participantes sem este trastorno de personalidade que são importantes na defusão e na deliteração no Terapia de aceitação e compromisso (ACT). Desta forma, formaram-se um grupo de casos e outro grupo de controles. Ambos os grupos foram misturados. A entrevista SCID-II, o Inventário de Personalidade Multiaxial MCMI-III e a entrevista estruturada foram aplicadas. Os participantes com o transtorno tiveram os meios mais elevados em seu relatório “A-R-VP de identificação com um conjunto de 12 valores con escores perto de 5, examinados em uma escala de 0 a 5, em oposição àqueles que não tinham o referido transtorno, que apresentavam escores entre 0 e 1. Os resultados do teste de Student t confirmaram o acima. Conclui-se que as pessoas avaliadas com transtorno de personalidade histriônica são identificadas com um repertório de doze valores característicos desta desordem.

Personality can be defined as a set of relatively long traits that influence the interactions of the subject with the environment and adaptations to the intrapsychic, physical and social. Thus, only when inflexible and maladaptive do personality traits cause significant functional impairment or subjective suffering, which constitutes Personality Disorder (PD). According to the definition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), PDs begin in adolescence or early adulthood, are stable over time and lead to losses and are characterized by the following types: Paranoid; Schizoid; Schizotypal; Antisocial; Borderline; Histrionic; Narcissist; Evitative; Dependent and Obsessive-Compulsive. Recently, with regard to the measurement of PD, the Personality Disorders Assessment Instrument (IATP) was built and validated, which is part of the general evaluation of all the PT groups, but there were no psychometric Consonant with the literature, capable of interpreting the disorder of the Histrionic personality. Therefore, this dissertation had, as a general objective, to obtain evidence of validity of the modified and reduced version of the Inventory for Evaluation of Personality Disorders - IATP-R, including histrionic TP items. The present study had a total sample of 373 participants, of which 343 were university students (non-clinical sample) selected for convenience and 30 patients attended by psychologists and / or psychiatrists who used psychotropic medication, which characterized the clinical sample , Selected using the Simple Random Sampling technique (AAS). The investigation verified the unidimensionality of each set of items in the disorders through analysis. The factorial analysis (PA), using the factorial main axes method (PAF) and direct oblimin rotation, resulted in a final matrix composed by 8 factors that were organized as representative of the following personality disorders: Paranoid; Schizoid; Schizotypal; Narcissist; Evitative; Dependent and Obsessive-Compulsive. For the Anti-Social and Borderline factors, there were no psychometrically satisfactory items and in agreement with the literature capable of interpreting these TPs. The structure indicated a total explained variance of 50.2%, regarding the reliability index, which was calculated through Cronbach's alpha, scored between 0.70 and 0.83, presenting acceptable indexes for this measure. Regarding the TRI analysis, the factors that obtained the best discrimination and difficulty parameters were the TP: Histrionic; Narcissist; Dependent; Paranoid and Schizotypal; All medium to extremely difficult. It should be noted that, in the TRI, seven factors were analyzed, leaving out the schizoid TP factor, because it presented only two items after the FA. The value of the theta (ability) of subjects estimated from the TRI are presented in this investigation as a possible tool for decision making regarding the presence or absence of a specific TP. The results are generally considered satisfactory and the validated instrument can be used as a tool for research purposes in the evaluation of personality disorders.
A personalidade, pode ser definida como um conjunto de traços relativamente duradouros e que influencia as interações do sujeito com o ambiente e adaptações ao intrapsíquico, físico e social. Deste modo, somente quando inflexíveis e mal adaptativos, os traços de personalidade causam significativos prejuízos funcionais ou sofrimentos subjetivos, o que configura o Transtorno da Personalidade (TP). Segundo a definição do Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais (DSM-5), os TP tem início na adolescência ou início da idade adulta, é estável ao longo do tempo e leva a prejuízos e são caracterizados pelos seguintes tipos: Paranoide; Esquizoide; Esquizotípica; Antissocial; Borderline; Histriônica; Narcisista; Evitativa; Dependente e Obsessivo-compulsiva. Recentemente, no que se refere à medida dos TP, foi construído e validado o Instrumento Avaliação dos Transtornos da Personalidade (IATP ) que se enquadra nos instrumentos voltados para a avaliação geral de todos os grupos de TP, porém não houve itens psicometricamente satisfatórios e em consonância com a literatura, capazes de interpretar o transtorno da personalidade Histriônica. Diante disso, esta dissertação teve, como objetivo geral, obter evidências de validade da versão modificada e reduzida do Inventário para Avaliação dos Transtornos da Personalidade – IATP-R, incluindo os itens do TP histriônica. O presente estudo contou com uma amostra total de 373 participantes, da qual 343 era de estudantes universitários (amostra não clínica) selecionados por conveniência e 30 pacientes atendidos por psicólogos e/ou psiquiatras que faziam uso de medicação psicotrópica, a qual caracterizou a amostra clínica, selecionada por meio da técnica de Amostragem Aleatória Simples (AAS). A investigação verificou a unidimensionalidade de cada conjunto de itens nos transtornos através de análises. A Análise fatorial (AF), realizada pelo método dos eixos principais fatoriais (PAF) e rotação direct oblimin, resultou em uma matriz final composta por 8 fatores que se organizaram como representativos dos seguintes transtornos da personalidade: Paranoide; Esquizoide; Esquizotípica; Narcisista; Evitativa; Dependente e Obssessivo-compulsiva. Para os fatores Antissocial e Borderline, não houve itens psicometricamente satisfatórios e em consonância com a literatura capazes de interpretar esses TP. A estrutura apontou uma variância total explicada de 50,2%, quanto ao índice de confiabilidade, que foi calculado através do alfa de Cronbach, pontuou entre 0,70 e 0,83, apresentando índices aceitáveis para esta medida. Quanto à análise da TRI, os fatores que obtiveram os melhores parâmetros de discriminação e dificuldade foram os TP: Histriônico; Narcisista; Dependente; Paranoide e Esquizotípica; todos entre medianos e extremamente difíceis. Cabe destacar que, na TRI, foram analisados sete fatores, ficando de fora o fator TP esquizoide, por apresentar apenas dois itens após a AF. O valor do teta (habilidade) dos sujeitos estimados a partir da TRI são apresentados nesta investigação como uma possível ferramenta para tomada de decisão quanto à presença ou ausência de um TP específico. Os resultados de modo geral são considerados satisfatórios e o instrumento validado pode ser utilizado como ferramenta para fins de pesquisa na avaliação dos transtornos da personalidade.

This study focussed on the systems psychodynamic perspective of how different leadership styles (paranoid, schizoid, depressive, compulsive and histrionic) deal with change as measured in a focus group consisting of four psychologists. How the different styles deal with change was compared to the definitions established to distinguish the key tendencies apparent during change for each style. Content analysis was applied to determine an integrative profile for each style during change. Though each of the styles responds in distinctly different ways when faced with change, all show a heightened level of reaction on the interpersonal dimension, indicating that change dramatically affects leader-follower relationships. The findings highlight the reversion during change to extreme self-interest and a tendency to use the team to serve this self-interest. Recommendations were presented to create reflective space so the leader may, through insight, be in a position to establish collaborative leader-follower relationships that are open to change.
