Abstract:
Adolescent depression is highly prevalent, associated with negative effects and likely to recur, this provides a cogent argument for finding sustainable, cost-effective, developmentally appropriate approaches to preventing depression. Although there is good evidence to support efficacy, there is no evidence of the effectiveness of programs preventing adolescent depression. Thus the primary aim of this thesis is to evaluate the effectiveness of a universal, school-based, adolescent depression prevention program when implemented by teachers and local mental health professionals. Participants were 1003 secondary school students drawn from three pairs of matched Year 9 cohorts. The three pairs were assigned to either: (a) Resourceful Adolescent Program (RAP), an 11-session school-based resilience program delivered as part of the school curriculum (n = 522) or (b) a comparison condition (n = 481). All students completed measures of depressive symptoms and hopelessness at pre-intervention, post-intervention and 6-month follow-up. The intervention group completed quantitative and qualitative evaluations of perceived program benefit. Small program effects on depressive symptoms for the RAP group were evident for the whole group at post-intervention (ES = 0.30) and for girls only at follow-up (ES = 0.35). However, both boys' and girls' self-reports indicated very positive overall benefits from the RAP intervention. Teachers were not less effective as group leaders than mental health professionals in terms of outcomes on depression measures, perceived program benefits or acceptability to students. Public health implications of this population-based approach are discussed in the light of small effects, high recruitment rates and potential use of sustainable school resources.

Albert-Bocquet, Danièle. "Les maternités adolescentes en famille matrifocale en Guadeloupe." Thesis, Paris, CNAM, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015CNAM1028/document.
Abstract:
Aux Antilles françaises les maternités précoces se produisent dans des proportions significatives, comparées statistiquement aux autres départements de France métropolitaine. Ces naissances ont lieu principalement dans les milieux modestes de la société et leur nombre présente une grande stabilité au fil du temps.En société créole certains éléments culturels encouragent la survenue de grossesses précoces. Aussi cette recherche explore les relations entre les habitus culturels et la survenue des maternités précoces dans l'une des organisations familiales présente aux Antilles, qualifiée de matrifocale. Dans cette famille à centration maternelle la fonction de mère se trouve au principe de l'identité féminine. La maternité précoce est alors un processus acceptable d'entrée dans la vie adulte qui maintient le système matrifocal en homéostasie.Pour le comprendre, la recherche a eu recours à la sociologie de la famille et aux concepts de culture, d'adolescence, d'adultéité, de sexualité adolescente, ou encore d'éducation.La recherche s'est déroulée dans le département de la Guadeloupe. Après avoir rappelé le rôle, le statut et la fonction de la maternité en société Guadeloupéenne, les résultats de la recherche sont présentés à partir de la méthodologie suivante mise en œuvre : Le recueil de données concernant les jeunes filles mères, ou en voie de le devenir, s'est fait à partir de la méthode des récits de vie traités par l'analyse structurale, complétée par la réalisation de schémas actanciels. En collèges et en lycées des jeunes ont été interviewés, d'autres ont été sondés par questionnaire, afin de connaître leurs représentations de l'accès à l'âge adulte, et leur opinion concernant les maternités précoces. Des entretiens ont eu lieu avec les familles et les professionnels afin de saisir leurs approches.L'analyse des données révèle que certaines jeunes filles ont désiré avoir un enfant, et ont fait le nécessaire pour réaliser ce désir. D'autres jeunes filles ont rencontré la grossesse au cours de leur parcours personnel et ont décidé de la mener à terme, même si d'autres choix pouvaient être envisagés. Les entretiens avec les familles et les professionnels montrent que les résistances familiales exprimées à l'annonce de la grossesse de la jeune fille cèdent progressivement en raison de la place accordée à l'enfant en société guadeloupéenne. Par ailleurs les solidarités familiales contribuent à alléger le poids de son éducationIn the French West Indies, early pregnancies occur in significant proportions, statistically compared to other areas in mainland France. These births mainly take place in low-income families and their number has been steady over time.In the Creole society, some cultural elements lead to teen pregnancies. Therefore, this research delves into the relationship between cultural habits and the appearance of early pregnancies in one of the mother-centered family structures in the Caribbean society, named matrifocal. In that kind of family structure focused on motherhood, the mother's function is the female identity.Early motherhood is then an acceptable process of entering adulthood and to keep the homeostasis of the matrifocal system.In order to understand the process, the research has used the sociology of the family and the concepts of culture, teenage, adulthood, teenage sexuality or education.The study was conducted in the French department of Guadeloupe.After reviewing the role, status and function of motherhood in the Guadeloupean society, the results of this research are presented from the following methodology implementation: the data collection as regards young mothers, or about to become mothers, was made thanks to the life history method receiving structural analysis, completed with actancial diagrams.In middle and high schools, young people were interviewed; some were probed by questionnaire, in order to know their representation of the access to adulthood and their opinions on early pregnancy.Interviews were held with families and professionals in order to comprehend their approach.The data analysis revealed that some girls wanted to have a child and have taken steps to fulfil this desire.Other girls got pregnant during their personal history and decided to carry it out to term, even if other options could have been considered.Interviews with the families and professionals revealed that the resistance expressed by the families when they were announced the pregnancy, gradually gave way because of the importance given to children in the Guadeloupean society.Moreover, family solidarity contributes to relieving the burden of education

As adolescentes, compartilhando saberes com outros indivíduos com realidade semelhante, possuem a capacidade de elaborar um conhecimento prático sobre a maternidade, reproduzindo e construindo representações acerca do significado do ser mãe. Este estudo teve por objetivo compreender o significado da maternidade para mães adolescentes à luz da Teoria das Representações Sociais. Foi executada uma pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva, apoiada no referencial teórico da Teoria das Representações Sociais. Foi realizada no Serviço de Enfermagem do Hospital Universitário Dr. Miguel Riet Corrêa Jr. na Cidade do Rio Grande, no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. As participantes do estudo foram dez mães adolescentes com idades entre 15 e 19 anos que tiveram seus filhos neste hospital entre os meses de setembro de 2008 a janeiro 2009. A coleta de dados ocorreu em maio de 2009 através da técnica de entrevista semi-estruturada. A análise dos dados ocorreu através dos preceitos da análise textual. A execução da pesquisa ocorreu após a autorização ao Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa na Área da Saúde sob o parecer n° 72/2009 e foram seguidos todos os preceitos éticos que regem as pesquisas com os seres humanos. A partir da análise dos dados obtiveram-se quatro categorias: reações e sentimentos frente ao diagnóstico da gravidez; o significado da maternidade para a mãe adolescente; o viver da mãe adolescente após o nascimento do bebê e expectativas da mãe adolescente para o futuro. Diante do diagnóstico da gravidez, as mães adolescentes expressaram diversas reações e sentimentos que sofreram mudanças no decorrer da gestação e após o nascimento do bebê. O significado da maternidade para as mães adolescentes apresentou-se distinto antes e após o nascimento do bebê. Antes do nascimento da criança, este significado foi relatado a partir das expectativas da adolescente e de representações que foram construídas no seu contexto social. Após o nascimento da criança, este significado foi manifestado a partir da concretude de suas vivências como mães. O nascimento da criança impõe profundas transformações no processo de viver das mães adolescentes que referem significados positivos e negativos decorrentes de um período de transição entre o ser adolescente e o ser mãe. Como aspectos negativos evidenciou-se representações da gravidez na adolescência como um evento gerador de conflitos intra-familiares; do parto como um evento ancorado na idéia de dor e a adolescente como um indivíduo imaturo para desempenhar o papel materno. Em relação aos aspectos positivos emergiram do estudo a melhora nas relações interpessoais familiares e sociais e o amadurecimento advindo do assumir a responsabilidade pelo cuidado com a criança. Conclui-se que os profissionais da saúde/enfermagem precisam atuar colocando em prática as políticas de saúde específicas do adolescente garantindo-lhe acesso aos serviços de saúde, a educação em saúde e aos métodos contraceptivos.
The adolescent girls, by sharing knowledge with other individuals who have similar reality, have the capacity to conceive a practical knowledge about the maternity, and are able to reproduce and build representations concerning the meaning of being mother. This study aimed at understanding the meaning of maternity to adolescent mothers in the light of the Social Representations Theory. A qualitative, descriptive research, leaning in the theoretical resources of the Social Representations Theory was accomplished. It has been accomplished in the Nursing Service of the Academical Hospital Dr. Miguel Riet Corrêa Jr. in the city of Rio Grande, state of Rio Grande do Sul. The participants of the study were ten adolescent mothers with aged between 15 and 19 years old who gave birth to their children in this hospital between September of 2008 and January of 2009. The collection of data happened in May of 2009 through the technique of semi-structured interview. The data analysis was developed under the precepts of textual analysis. The accomplishment of the research happened after the authorization of the Committee of Ethic in Health Research under the written opinion number 72/2009 and all of the ethical precepts that guide researches with the human beings have been followed. Starting from the data analysis, four categories have been obtained: reactions and feelings regarding the pregnancy diagnosis; the meaning of maternity to the adolescent mother; the life of the adolescent mother after the baby's birth and the adolescent mother's expectations for the future. In face of the pregnancy diagnosis, the adolescent mothers expressed various reactions and feelings that changed in the course of the gestation and after the baby's birth. The meaning of maternity to the adolescent mothers was noticed to be different before and after the baby's birth. Before the child's birth, this meaning was reported from the adolescent's expectations and from representations that had been built in her social context. After the child's birth, this meaning was manifested by the realization of their experiences as mothers. The child's birth imposes deep transformations in the adolescent mother's life process which include positive and negative meanings originated from a transition period between being adolescent and being mother. As negative aspects it has been possible to notice representations of pregnancy in the adolescence as an intra-family conflict-maker event, of the childbirth as an event anchored in the idea of pain, and of the adolescent as an immature individual to play the maternal role. Regarding the positive aspects which emerged from this study, the improvement of the family and social interpersonal relationships and the maturing which resulted from assuming the responsibility for the child's care should be mentioned. It has been concluded, therefore, that the professionals of health/nursing need to act and put in practice the health policies which are specific for adolescents, assuring access to the health services, education in health, and to the contraceptive methods.

El significado de la maternidad para las madres adolescentes preséntense diferentes antes y después del parto. Antes del nacimiento del niño, este sentido fue informado a partir de las expectativas de la adolescente y de representaciones que fueron construidas en su contexto social. Después del nacimiento del niño, este sentido se expresó partiendo de la plenitud de sus experiencias como madres. El nacimiento del niño requiere cambios profundos en el proceso de vivir de las madres adolescentes que refiere significados positivos y negativos derivados de un período de transición entre o ser adolescente y el ser madre. Como aspectos negativos se queda evidente representaciones de embarazo en la adolescencia como un generador de conflictos intrafamiliares; del nacimiento como un acontecimiento anclado en la idea del dolor y la adolescente como un individuo inmaduro para actuar como madres están presentes en el estudio. Para los aspectos positivos surgieron del estudio la mejora en las relaciones interpersonales, familiares y sociales y la maduración advenida del acto de asumir la responsabilidad para el cuidado con el niño. Se concluye que los profesionales de la salud / enfermería necesitan actuar colocando en practica las políticas publicas de salud del adolescentes, garantizando el acceso a los servicios de salud, educación para la salud y los métodos anticonceptivos.

Abstract:
Les recours à l'acte violent sont étudiés essentiellement chez les adolescents, alors que les souffrances des jeunes filles sont abordées en terme de mise à mal du corps propre, à travers des manifestations psychopathologiques singulières (troubles des conduites alimentaires, attaques du corps, scarifications...). La recherche concerne la place et le rôle du féminin dans les recours à l'acte violent d'adolescentes délinquantes, avec pour corollaire plusieurs interrogations concernant le sens que revêtent ces agirs violents, en tant qu'expression d'un éventuel changement de la symptomatologie actuelle et particulière de l'adolescence. La question d'une spécificité de la violence au féminin, notamment lors du processus adolescent, processus mettant particulièrement à mal les notions de normal et de pathologique, sera posée, ainsi que celle du lien entre traumatisme, féminin, et recours à l'acte. La référence théorique est la psychopathologie psychanalytique, dans ses deux dimensions, intrapsychique et intersubjective, prenant en compte le nouage entre l'architecture psychique du sujet et sa rencontre avec le socius. La méthodologie repose sur une démarche clinique, basée sur des entretiens et la passation d'épreuves projectives, auprès d'adolescentes ayant commis des actes délictueux. La présente recherche souligne la variété des fonctionnements psychiques dans lesquels se rencontrent les agir violents, la prépondérance des identifications dans l'accès à un féminin apaisé, tempérant l'impact des traumatismes, et l'importance du contexte socioculturel dans lequel se déploient ces actes violentsAThe use of violent acts is studied mainly in male adolescents, while the suffering of girls is discussed in terms of hurting their own body, through singular psychopathological symptoms (eating disorders, attacks to the body, scarification ...). This research considers the place and role of being female in the use of violent acts by teenage offenders, with a corresponding number of questions about the meaning of these violent acts, as an expression of a possible change in the present symptomatology of adolescence. The question of specificity of violence from young girls, especially during the adolescent process, particularly the process undermining the concepts of normal and pathological will be asked, as well as the relationship between trauma, femininity, and use of violent acts. The theoretical reference is the psychoanalytic psychopathology in both aspects, intrapsychic and intersubjective, taking into account the tie between the psychic architecture of the subject and the meeting with socius. The methodology is based on a clinical approach, based on interviews and the placing of projective tests, with adolescents who have committed illegal violent acts. This research highlights the variety of psychic functioning in which meet the violent act, the balance of identifications in access to a calm femininity, tempering the impact of trauma and the importance of the sociocultural context in which these violent acts are deployed

Abstract:
Book Summary: More is known about the behavior, anatomy, and molecular biology of the laboratory rat than any other animal species. Although its natural history and psychological functions have been described previously in books, this is the first comprehensive description of its behavior. Both seasoned and beginning investigators will be amazed at the range and complexity of the species as described in the 43 chapters of this volume. The behavioral descriptions are closely tied to the laboratory methods from which they were derived, thus allowing investigators to correlate the behavior and methods and exploit them in their own research. This book is aimed at investigators in neuroscience who may not be familiar with rat behavior, but who wish to incorporate behavioral studies into their own research. Nevertheless, seasoned investigators will also find the book to be a handy reference for behavioral paradigms with which they may not be familiar. It is expected that as the genetic and molecular understanding of the rat develops, there will be an increasing need for knowledge about rat behavior. This book will serve as an indispensable resource for neuroscientists, psychologists, pharmacologists, geneticists, molecular biologists, zoologists, and their students and trainees.

Objetivamos, basicamente, compreender o que tais indivíduos pensam sobre a adolescência, sobre as perspectivas em relação ao futuro e identificar quais os principais valores destacados por esses adolescentes. As razões que nos levaram a propor essa investigação dizem respeito ao fato de, como psicóloga, termos desenvolvido atividades com os adolescentes inseridos no “Projeto”. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, na qual fizemos uso de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com 06 adolescentes de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 14 e 18 anos, com nível econômico desfavorecido, independentemente do grau de escolaridade e com diferentes credos religiosos. Como referencial teórico e metodológico, utilizamos autores de orientação psicanalítica, como Freud, Birman, Calligaris, Costa, Figueiredo, Herrmann, Mezan, Outeiral, entre outros. Os dados das entrevistas foram analisados no sentido de compreender o significado da fala dos sujeitos estudados. Concluímos que os adolescentes concebem a adolescência como uma fase de transição entre o ser criança e o adulto, onde solicitam tempo e apoio dos adultos nesse período. O Projeto é importante em suas vidas porque além de oferecer emprego para os mais carentes, os jovens encontraram um local para fazer cursos, adquirir novos conhecimentos e novas formas de relação afetiva. Eles destacaram valores como o estudo, a relação familiar, a amizade, a justiça, a honestidade e a preocupação com o futuro da sociedade. A maioria dos adolescentes percebe o futuro diretamente ligado ao estudo, a uma profissão
This research is an study about adolescents applied for Legião Mirim Project in Assis city - SP, introduced by a philanthropic entity which brings, as its mainly purpose, to guide financial underprivileged young people to find their first job. Our goals are, basically, to understand what such individuals think about the adolescence, about the perspectives related to their future and who the values detached for them. The reasons, which led us to propose this investigation, are connected to the fact, as a psychologist, we had developed activities with some adolescents that are involved on that “Project”. It’s about a qualitative research, of which we made use of halfstructured interviews with 06 students from both sexes, between 14 and 18 years old, with financial problems, independently their educational levels and with many different beliefs. As a theoretical and methodological reference, we have used author with psychoanalysis orientation, like Freud, Birman, Calligaris, Costa, Figueiredo, Herrmann, Mezan, Outeiral, and others. Some data from the interviews were analyzed in sense to realize the speech meanings from the studied individuals. We conclude that adolescents understand the adolescence years as a transition step between to be a child and to be an adult, when they solicit time and support from the adults on that period. The Project is important in their lives because, more than offer a job opportunity to the most careless, young people have found a place to have courses, to acquire new knowledge and new ways of affective relations. They’ve shown values like study, family relation, friendship, justice, honesty and concern about the future of society. Most adolescents see the future connect directly to study, to an occupation

Este estudo transversal teve o objetivo de investigar o conhecimento de adolescentes de diferentes contextos sobre os seus próprios direitos. Participaram do estudo 101 adolescentes, com idades entre 12 e 17 anos (M=14,18; SD=1,09), sendo 68,3% do sexo feminino e 31,7% do sexo masculino. Os adolescentes foram agrupados por contextos: o G1 composto por aqueles que residem com suas famílias e freqüentam escolas públicas (45,5%), o G2, por jovens que vivem com suas famílias e estudam em escolas particulares (32,7%) e o G3 de adolescentes que moram em abrigos (21,8%). Foram aplicados um questionário para levantamento de dados biosociodemográficos, um sobre o conhecimento em direitos e um inventário de auto-relato sobre a situação de direitos. Houve diferença entre os contextos em relação a alguns dos direitos investigados. Os participantes que relataram perceber mais direitos não respeitados foram os não-brancos e cujos pais apresentavam escolaridade mais baixa, resultado que ressalta o legado de exclusão étnico-racial presente no país. Foi encontrada diferença significativa em relação à presença/ausência de conhecimento dos direitos, por sexo, idade, nível socioeconômico, grupo e vínculo com a família. Os direitos mais conhecidos foram: inclusão, participação, expressão, educação, lazer e proteção contra a violência e o trabalho. Já os direitos menos conhecidos foram: respeito, tratamento diferenciado do adulto quando em conflito com a lei, proteção contra o trabalho doméstico, liberdade de reunião e associação e de buscar orientação. Os resultados indicam que o macrossistema e o microssistema estão relacionados à visão dos adolescentes sobre seus direitos. Apontam, ainda, à necessidade de intervenções, enfatizando valores, os direitos menos reconhecidos e deveres da população infanto-juvenil.This crossectional study aimed to investigate adolescents' knowledge, of different contexts, on their own rights. 101 adolescents, aged from 12 to 17 years old (M=14,18; SD=1,09), 68,3% female and 31,7% male were grouped by context: G1 - adolescents who live with their families and attend public schools (45,5%), G2 - those who live with their families and attende private school (32,7%) and G3 - those who live in shelters (21,8%). A biosociodemographic and knowledge of rights questionnaires and to a self report on adolescents' rights were administered. There was difference among the contexts regarding certain rights investigated. More not respected rights were found among no-white participants and those whose parents presented lower education level, result that emphasizes the historical legacy of present ethnic-racial exclusion in Brazil. The results revealed statistically significant sex, age, socioeconomic status, group and family links differences what refers to the knowledge of rights. The knownest rights were: inclusion, participation, expression, education, leisure and protection against the violence and the work. The less known rights were: respect, adult's differentiated treatment when in conflict with the law, the protection against the domestic work, the freedom of reunion/association and concerning searching for orientation. Results indicate that the macrossistem and the microssistem are associated with the adolescents' perception of their own rights. The results highlight the need for interventions, emphasizing values, recognition of rights and duties of the child-juvenile population.

Abstract:
Les scarifications adolescentes sont devenues un phénomène croissant ces dernières années. Des cas de jeunes qui se coupent sont apparus dans la clinique psychanalytique, dans les médias et sur Internet. L’agir sur le corps devient le dernier recours pour réussir à dire quelque chose sur le malaise du sujet et ce dernier n’est pas sans rapport au malaise de la culture. L’adolescence est un temps logique marqué par plusieurs transformations que le sujet adolescent doit subjectiver. C’est un temps où le détachement du discours parental exige que le sujet trouve dans le social les signifiants qui le représentent. Quand le sujet ne trouve pas, dans le langage, le recours symbolique qui soutient son ex-sistence, il peut trouver dans l’agir un moyen de s’exprimer. L’agir dans les scarifications est donc une façon de dire avec le corps. L’adolescence est aussi un temps de transformation de l’image du corps et l’adolescent doit faire avec cette nouvelle image. Les objets du discours techno-scientifique offrent aux sujets un rapport inédit à l’image de soi. Ainsi, l’image peut être à la fois un objet de jouissance et un moyen de montrer ce qui ne peut pas se dire avec les mots. La conjonction du Discours de la Science et du Discours du Capitaliste tente de produire ce que nous appelons obj’être, un sujet qui est représenté par les objets qu’il consomme. Cela crée un teen way of life qui devient, pour ces discours, un modèle idéal d’adolescence. L’adolescence dévoile également l’impossible du rapport sexuel lors de la rencontre avec l’Autre sexe. Les scarifications adolescentes montrent que le recours au corps est une façon, pour certains adolescents, de traiter l’angoisse résultant de ces transformations. La coupure sur le corps devient alors une limite entre le sujet et l’Autre. Si d’un côté cette coupure vient faire limite à la jouissance qui envahit le corps, de l’autre elle devient aussi un mode de jouissance. Les scarifications adolescentes, en tant que séparation de l’Autre, sont pour certains adolescents le dernier recours d’un direTeenager cutting has emerged in recent years as a growing phenomenon. Reports on these young people who cut themselves have appeared in the psychoanalytic clinic, in the media and on the Internet. Acting on the body becomes the last recourse to say something about subject’s discontent which is somehow related to the culture’s discontent. Adolescence is a logical time marked by several transformations that teenagers need to deal with in a subjective manner. It is a time when distancing from parental discourse requires the subject to find in the social discourse the signifiers that can represent him. When the subject does not find in the language the symbolic resources that sustain his ex-sistence, he can appeal to acting as an expression to say something. In this case, the act of cutting the body takes place. Adolescence is also a time of body image transformation and teenagers have to deal with their new image. Objects from technical-scientific discourse offer to subjects an unprecedented way of relating to the image of them. Therefore, images can be both an object of jouissance and a mean of showing what words can’t say. The conjunction of the discourses of science and the capitalist tries to produce what we call obj’être (object being), a subject represented by the objects he consumes. This creates a teen way of life that becomes, for these discourses, an ideal mode of adolescence. Adolescence also reveals to the subject the impossibility of the sexual rapport in the encounter with the Other sex. Teenager cutting shows that the appeal to the body is the way some teenagers find to treat the anguish that results from these transformations. Cutting the body becomes then a limit between the subject and the Other. If on the one hand the cut in teenager cutting becomes a limit to the jouissance that invades the body, on the other hand it becomes also a mode of jouissance. Teenager cutting, as a separation from the Other, is for some teenagers a last recourse of a saying

Resumo: Pouco se conhece sobre epidemiologia e melhor terapêutica da colelitíase na infância. Sabe-se que o número de casos é crescente e alguns necessitam de cirurgia e apresentam risco de complicações. Este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar os prováveis aspectos envolvidos na colelitíase, de etiologia não-hemolítica, em crianças e adolescentes, na tentativa de esclarecer aspectos relacionados a fatores de risco, quadro clínico, diagnóstico, bem como presença de doenças associadas, complicações, história familiar e as condutas terapêuticas realizadas. Foram avaliados 65 pacientes, de 0 a 18 anos, com colelitíase não-hemolítica, atendidos de janeiro de 1993 a dezembro de 2005 no Hospital de Clínicas da Faculdade de Ciências Médicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas. O estudo foi descritivo, retrospectivo e prospectivo, utilizando-se dados obtidos por meio de prontuários e entrevistas. Os pais foram convocados para realização de ultra-sonografia abdominal para investigar colelitíase. A investigação laboratorial dos pacientes constou de perfil lipídico (colesterol total e frações e dosagem de triglicérides) e perfil hepático (aminotransferases e gama-glutamiltranspeptidase). Também foi realizado um estudo de caso-controle investigando a influência da colelitíase materna sobre a litíase nos filhos. Quarenta e seis dos 65 doentes eram do sexo feminino (70,77%), com predomínio das meninas nos escolares e adolescentes. Os brancos corresponderam a 69,23% (45/65) e a idade média ao diagnóstico foi de 9,85 anos. Foram sintomáticos 69,23% dos casos (45/65), principalmente acima dos 7 anos, e os principais sintomas e sinais foram: dor abdominal (45), vômitos (27), náuseas (22), empachamento pós-prandial (16), icterícia (12) e intolerância a alimentos gordurosos (9). A mediana de duração do início do quadro clínico até o diagnóstico foi de 6 meses. As condições associadas e fatores de risco estiveram presentes em 43 pacientes (66,15%), principalmente nos menores de 14 anos (freqüente prematuridade nos menores de 6 anos). As alterações do perfil hepático e do perfil lipídico ocorreram, respectivamente, em 21/43 (48,84%) e 14/49 casos (28,57%). Complicações (coledocolitíase e pancreatite) foram raras, com predomínio em adolescentes. A colecistectomia foi realizada em 51 pacientes (78,46%). Foram encontradas 10 mães com diagnóstico de colelitíase e 36 de 57 pacientes (63,16%) apresentavam história familiar de colelitíase. Os resultados permitem concluir que:1. O sexo feminino predominou, progressivamente, a partir do segundo grupo; 2. Queixas freqüentes foram: dor abdominal, vômitos, náuseas e empachamento; 3. O diagnóstico dos sintomáticos foi tardio; 4. Os pacientes acima de 7 anos foram os mais sintomáticos e os menores de 14 anos apresentaram maior positividade para doenças e fatores de risco associados; 5. Os fatores de risco mais relevantes foram: antibioticoterapia parenteral, nutrição parenteral prolongada, cirurgia abdominal, hipertensão portal e prematuridade; 6. Foi freqüente o antecedente pessoal de hepatopatia, além do perfil hepático alterado; 7. Obesidade e dislipidemia grave não foram freqüentes; 8. Coledocolitíase e pancreatite biliar foram raras, predominando nos adolescentes; 9. A conduta predominante foi a colecistectomia laparoscópica; 10. A maioria apresentava história médica sugestiva e(ou) antecedente familiar para colelitíase; 11. Antecedente familiar de dislipidemia, obesidade e urolitíase foi positivo na metade deles; 12. Não se comprovou influência do antecedente materno de colelitíase
Abstract: There is a poor knowledge on the epidemiology and the best therapy of cholelithiasis in childhood. The number of cases is increasing, some requiring surgery which implies in risks and complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the probable features involved in nonhemolitic cholelithiasis in children and adolescents, as an attempt to elucidate features related to risk factors, clinical picture, diagnosis, as well as the presence of associated diseases, complications, family history and medical treatment. Sixty-five patients from age 0 to 18 years with nonhemolitic cholelithiasis were followed from January 1993 to December 2005 at the Hospital of State University of Campinas. The study was descriptive, retrospective and prospective, and the data were collected from patients' records and interviews. The patients¿ parents were investigated for cholelithiasis by ultrassonography. The laboratorial investigation of patients consisted in the lipidic profile (total cholesterol, fractions and triglyceride dosage) and hepatic profile (aminotransferases and gama-GT). A case-control study was also performed in order to investigate the influence on those children whose mothers had cholelithiasis. Forty-six of 65 patients were female (70.77%), with a predominance of females among scholars and adolescents. Caucasians corresponded to 69.23% (45/85) and the mean age at diagnosis was 9.85 years. The symptomatic patients represented 69.23% (45/65), mainly over 7 years, and the main symptoms and signs were: abdominal pain (45), vomiting (27), nauseas (22), post-prandial discomfort (16), jaundice (12) and fat food intolerance (9). The median time lapse from the beginning of clinical presentation up to diagnosis was 6 months. The associated conditions and risk factors were present in 43 patients (66.15%), mainly below 14 years (frequent prematurity below 6 years). Lipidic and hepatic abnormalities occurred, respectively, in 21/43 (48.84%) and 14/49 cases (28.57%). Complications (choledocolithiasis and pancreatitis) were rare, with predominance in adolescents. Fifty-one patients (78.46%) underwent cholecystectomy. Ten mothers were diagnosed with cholelithiasis and 36 out of 57 patients (63.16%) presented family history of cholelithiasis. Based on these results, the conclusions were: 1.The prevalence in females predominated increasingly in the second group; 2. Frequent complains were: abdominal pain, vomiting, nauseas and post-prandial discomfort; 3. The diagnoses of symptomatics were late; 4. Patients older than 7 years were the most symptomatic and those below 14 years of age had a greater tendency towards associated diseases and risk factors. 5. Relevant risk factors and associated illnesses were: parenteral antibiotics, prolonged parenteral nutrition, abdominal surgery, portal hypertension and prematurity; 6. Hepatical patology and altered hepatic perfil were frequent; 7. Obesity and severe dislipidemia were not frequent; 8.Cholelithiasis and biliary pancreatitis were rare complications, predominating in adolescents; 9. Most patients received laparoscopic cholecystectomy; 10. Most cases had suggestive medical history and(or) family antecedent of cholelithiasis; 11. Family antecedent of dislipidemia, obesity and urolithiasis occurred in half of the patients; 12. The influence of mothers presenting antecedents for cholelithiasis on children and adolescents was not confirmed.

Resumo: Na sociedade contemporânea, os meios de comunicação social assumem um papel central nas atividades em geral, configurando-se como uma ferramenta fundamental para o exercício da cidadania e para a difusão do conhecimento, situação constatada também no campo da alimentação e da nutrição. O tema alimentação e nutrição é cada vez mais evidenciado nas diversas mídias; uma presença que tem sido valorizada por seu potencial em contribuir com a promoção da alimentação saudável e da saúde; mas também, tem sido questionada quanto à credibilidade e à adequação, muitas vezes, comprometidas por influências de mercado como, por exemplo, as determinadas pela indústria da estética. Diante desta problemática, nesta dissertação objetivou-se avaliar a qualidade dos conteúdos relacionados ao tema alimentação e nutrição das revistas on-line femininas para adolescentes Capricho e Todateen. Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa através do método Análise do Conteúdo em associação a referenciais teórico-conceituais dos Estudos Culturais. O corpus de análise foi constituído por 111 textos (68 textos da revista on-line Capricho e 43 textos da revista on-line Todateen). O corpus foi selecionado através de busca no site das revistas Capricho e Todateen com palavras-chave relacionadas ao tema alimentação e nutrição, adotando-se o recorte temporal de um ano (ano de 2012). Os principais resultados e análises dos textos do corpus foram: as celebridades foram as fontes de informação preferenciais; a função principal das fontes foi relatar experiências pessoais; a abordagem foi predominantemente fatual; a utilização de termos linguísticos foi inadequada com prejuízo de sentido; a ocorrência de informações promotoras de práticas alimentares saudáveis foi reduzida; assuntos de interesse público praticamente não entraram em pauta; o enquadramento caracterizou-se pela prevalência da dimensão biológica da alimentação e nutrição com foco na estética e pela concepção sobre alimentação e nutrição baseada mais na ideia de dieta restritiva do que de alimentação saudável. Os resultados obtidos permitem afirmar que os conteúdos das revistas analisadas não apresentam qualidade satisfatória e potencial para contribuir com a segurança alimentar e nutricional das adolescentes
Abstract: In modern society, the media play a central role in different sectors, since they appear as a fundamental tool for the exercise of citizenship and the dissemination of knowledge - a situation that is also verified in the fields of alimentation and nutrition . The topic of alimentation and nutrition is increasingly noticeable in various media: this presence has been valued for its potential to contribute to the promotion of healthy nutrition and health in general; however, it has also been questioned as to its credibility and adequacy which are often compromised by market influences (determined by the esthetic industry, for instance). Given these issues, this dissertation sought to analyze the quality of the content related to the topic of alimentation and nutrition in two online teen magazines - Todateen and Capricho. A qualitative research was performed using the Content Analysis method in combination with theoretical and conceptual frameworks of the Cultural Studies. The corpus for analysis consisted of 111 texts (68 texts of the online magazine Capricho and 43 texts of the online magazine Todateen). The corpus was selected by searching in the websites of the magazines Capricho and Todateen using keywords related to the topics of alimentation and nutrition, and we selected the time frame of one year (year 2012). The main results and analysis of the texts in the corpus were: celebrities were always the preferred sources of information; the main role of the sources was to report personal experiences; the approach was predominantly factual; the use of linguistic terms was inadequate and presented a loss of meaning; the occurrence of information promoting healthy nutrition practices was reduced; issues of public interest hardly entered on the agenda; the framework was characterized by the prevalence of a biological dimension for alimentation and nutrition with a focus on esthetics, and the concepts of alimentation and nutrition were more based on the idea of a restrictive diet than on healthy eating. These results allow us to affirm that the contents of the magazines analyzed do not present satisfactory quality and potential to contribute to alimentation and nutrition safety of adolescents

Monraisin, Flora. "Une analyse phénoménologique et psychodynamique du vécu d’incertitude d’adolescents atteints de cancer et leur mère : étude exploratoire et longitudinale de six dyades mère-adolescent." Thesis, Paris 8, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019PA080049.
Abstract:
La recherche scientifique, suite aux différents plans cancer, s’est centrée sur la spécificité des adolescents (et des jeunes adultes), et plus particulièrement sur la spécificité des traitements et des besoins (spirituels, psychologiques, social) à cet âge. Partant de notre expérience depuis 6 ans au sein d’un service d’onco-hématologie pédiatrique, il nous a semblé que l’approche de l’adolescent et des ses besoins ne pouvait être étudiée sans prendre en compte son environnement, et plus particulièrement la relation qu’il entretien avec son adulte de référence, l’accompagnant dans cette épreuve : sa mère. Objectif: L’objectif principal est d’investiguer le vécu d’incertitude au sein de la dyade. Plus précisément, comment l’adolescent et sa mère vivent l’expérience d’incertitude amenée par la découverte de la pathologie cancéreuse ? Comment, au sein de leur propre relation, vivent-ils l’expérience de l’incertitude, qui plus est au cours du processus pubertaire ? Méthode : Six dyades mère-adolescents ont participé à la recherche. Quatre entretiens semi-directifs ont été réalisés tous les deux mois, du diagnostic (T0), deux mois post-diagnostic (T1), quatre mois post-diagnostic (T2), à six mois post-diagnostic (T3), et ce de manière individuelle. L’analyse des résultats est réalisée de deux manières. La première propose une analyse phénoménologique avec l’aide de l’Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA, Smith, Flowers, et Larkin, 2009), pour les adolescents et leurs mères. La seconde analyse qualitative est une lecture psychodynamique des entretiens individuels, étayés par de supports projectifs (photographies) proposés aux adolescents à la fin des entretiens T1, T2 et T3 et par l’entretien R de Stern, réalisé en T1 auprès des mères uniquement. Résultats : L’analyse phénoménologique des entretiens des adolescents indique une diminution des thèmes majeurs et mineurs orientés sur l’incertitude entre T0 et T3. Concernant l’analyse phénoménologique du discours des mères, nous retrouvons, à l’inverse, une majoration des thèmes autour du vécu d’incertitude entre T0 et T3. L’analyse des supports projectifs des adolescents indiquent une recherche de cadre contenant, venant réduire l’incertitude ressentie (au niveau corporel et psychique) et une mise en mouvement du corps (T1 et T2). En T3, l’analyse des supports projectifs s’oriente vers une projection vers l’avenir et une recherche de sécurité au niveau familial. Concernant les mères, l’analyse de l’entretien R indique une reviviscence du lien mère-bébé accentuée avec l’arrivée de la maladie (en lien également avec le processus adolescent) avec une description similaire de l’adolescent bébé et de l’adolescent malade. Au travers de cette expérience, c’est également l’identité de mère qui est remaniée. Conclusion : L’expérience de la maladie cancéreuse provoque chez les adolescents un remaniement narcissique et identitaire. D’un point de vue phénoménologique, cette expérience est à rapprocher de l’éprouvé ordalique, chassant l’incertitude. Pour les mères, il en est tout autre puisqu’elles gardent en elles cette incertitude effractante traumatique. L’analyse psychodynamique précise l’interprétation phénoménologique des adolescents, le discours inconscient indiquant plutôt une fragilité identitaire et narcissique au temps T3, une souffrance psychique importante qu’il n’est pas permis de montrer. L’interprétation psychodynamique apporte également un éclairage concernant le lien au sein des dyades. L’expérience de la maladie permet une relecture du lien mère-bébé, permettant de retravailler les fragilités du lien. C’est donc au travers de l’écart du vécu que les remaniements peuvent se faire, écart créant l’espace de je(u) des possiblesThe scientific research, following the various plans regarding cancer focused mainly on teenagers (ang young adults) and specifically on the specific treatments and needs (as well spiritual as psycholocigal as social) which the teenagers meet at thisage. We have been working in an onco-hematological-pediatrical service for six years and we have used the experience we have thusgained. It became obvious that we could not understand the teenager and his needs without taking his environment into acount and expecially the relationship he has with his role model in thi sadversity : his mother. Objectives : The main target is to carefully study the way he experiences uncertainty in the pair. We will especially focus on the way the mother and the teenager go through this experience of uncertainty when they are told about the cancerous pathology. How does their relationship bear this experience of uncertainty, especially if they are in the middle of puberty ? Méthods : Six pairs, mother/teenager took part to the experiment for semi-open interviews were carried out every other month starting from the diagnosis (T0), then 2 month after the diagnosis (T1), then 4 month (T2) and then, 6 month (T3) ; these interviews are carried out individually. There are 2 ways of assessing the results. The first one offers a phenomenological analysis using the Interpretative Phenomological Analysis (IPA, Smith, Flowers and Larkin, 2009), for the teenagers and their mothers. The second qualitative one offers a psychoanalytical reading of the individual interwiews, supported by pictures offerd to the teenagers at the end of interviews T1, T2 and T3 and by the R de Stern interview carried out with the mothers only.Résults : The phenomenological analysis of the interviews produced by the teenagers shows a lower level of the major and minor uncertainty orientated themes between T0 and T3. On the contrary, the phenomenological analysis of the interviews of the mother shows and increase of the focus on how to live through the uncertainty between T0 and T3. The analysis of the pictures shown to the teenagers shows they need a strict restricting structure so as the reduce the uncertainty they feel, both physicaly and psychologicaly and the physical activity boost (T1 and T2). During T3, the analysis of the picture focuses more about the future and needs to look for security in the family environment. Regarding the mothers, the analysis of the R interviews shows a reliving of the mother-baby bond increased by the happening of the disease (linked as well with the fact the child becomes a teenager) with the same vision of the baby teenager and the diseased teenager. Through this experiment, the identity of the mother changes al together. Conclusion : Experiencing a cancer generates among the teenagers a narcissistic and identity crisis. Phenomenally speaking, this experience can be compared with testing an ordeal which chases out uncertainty. It is totally different for mothers because they keep in themseleves this destroying and traumatic experience. The psychanalitical analysis balances the teenagers phenomenological interpretation, the subconscious thoughts shows a fraitly both on the identity and narcissical point of view related to the notion of time T3, and important psychological suffering which must stay hidden. The psychodynamical interpretation adds a light regarding the link among the pairs. Experiencing illness offers us a rereading of the mother-baby link which enables us to work again on the frailties of the link. We can thus say that the discrepancy beetween what we live through generates the changes, this discrepancy generating space for a game of possibilities

Abstract:
PsychologyPh.D.
Adolescents evince a more heightened propensity for risk taking than children and adults. This propensity can be directed toward negative (e.g., illegal or health-compromising) or positive (e.g., socially acceptable and beneficial) risk behaviors. Much existing research on adolescent risk behavior focuses on negative risk taking due to the public health implications of engaging in these behaviors. However, it is also important for society to promote youth engagement in positive risk behaviors that may benefit the well-being of adolescents and those around them. The present study explored positive risk taking in a sample of 164 American adolescents (45% female) ages 16-20 (M = 17.9; SD = .72). There were three central aims: (1) develop a reliable self-report measure of positive risk taking and examine its association with self-reports of negative risk taking and several behavioral measures of risk taking; (2) explore the extent to which previously established psychological correlates of negative risk taking are also associated with positive risk taking; (3) determine whether positive risk taking is associated with indicators of positive functioning, such as academic orientation, grit, and mental health. Results indicated that positive risk taking was associated with greater self-reported negative risk taking, and greater risk taking, feedback learning, and punishment sensitivity on experimental risk taking tasks. Although positive risk taking was not associated with grit or internalizing symptoms, positive risk taking was positively associated with stronger school engagement and better school performance. Future directions and applications to positive youth development programming are discussed.

A partir da prática profissional em projeto socioambiental, Broto Verde, e de estudos psicológicos a respeito da adolescência, objetivou-se investigar as representações sociais sobre a adolescência e o adolescente por profissionais que atuaram no programa e compreender como essas representações se articulam no cotidiano, além de relacionálas ao trajeto histórico desse programa. Tratou-se de um estudo de caso de caráter qualitativo cujo referencial fundamentou-se na Teoria de Representações Sociais. A população alvo consistiu em dois grupos de profissionais, os responsáveis pela elaboração e os responsáveis pela execução das atividades do projeto. A análise e discussão dos dados obtidos indicaram de modo geral que houve diferenção nas representações entre os profissionais de ambos os grupos. Os que executam possuem uma representação abstrata e universal da adolescência, definem o adolescente de forma negativa, pela carência e pela falta. Os profissionais da elaboração possuem uma respresentação mais contextualizada, o veem de maneira mais positiva e afirmam que seu desenvolvimento se da nas relações que ele estabelece.
From a professional experience in a socio-environmental project, named “Broto Verde”, as well as from psychological studies regarding adolescence, it was intended to investigate with this research, about the social representations above the adolescence and the adolescents formed by those professionals who worked with them on this program, in order to comprehend how these representations are articulated in the daily life, and further, to relate them to the historical path of this project. It was a case study of qualitative nature which referential was based on the “Teoria das Representações Sociais” (Social Representations Theory). The target population consisted in two groups of professionals, those responsible for the elaboration and those in charge of the execution of the project´s activities. The analysis and discussion about the raised informations indicates that, in general, there was differentiation in the representations among the professionals of both groups. The ones that were responsible for executing the activities represent the adolescence in an abstract and universal way, defining them negatively, because of their penury and absence. The professionals involved with the elaboration job have a representation that seems to be more complete, tending to look at them positively and believing that their development is constructed from its social relationships.

Abstract:
La clinique auprès d’adolescents amène le psychologue à s’interroger sur la place qu’occupent le regard et la voix au cours de cette traversée. Si ces deux objets sont au cœur de la naissance du sujet, leur nouage devient incertain au temps de l’adolescence. Les fugues ado- lescentes, que nous désignons par le terme « disparition » adviennent comme le témoignage d’un dénouage : celui du regard et de la voix. Ainsi, disparaître, c’est s’arracher au silence de l’Autre, un silence vociférant, structuré comme comme un mauvais œil. Il s’agit, alors, de créer un lieu, un espace — celui de la disparition — à partir duquel pourra se penser le retourThe adolescent’s clinic brings the psychologist to question the place of the look and the voice during this passing through time. Even if these two items are central in the subject’s birth, their knotting becomes uncertain at the time of adolescence. Teenage runaways, in what we could refer as « disappearance » happens as the testimony the unknotting : that one of the look and the voice. Thus, to disappear, is to draw off the silence of Other one, a vociferous silence, structured like a jaundiced eye. It is a question, then, to create a place, a space — the one of disappearence — from where the return can be thought

Abstract:
A presente tese, de cunho qualitativo, versa sobre o universo da gravidez na adolescência, através de entrevistas semi-abertas, investigando de que modo adolescentes grávidas narram essa ocorrência. A pesquisa apresenta como objetivos principais oportunizar o entendimento de como adolescentes grávidas compreendem temas como iniciação sexual de jovens, gravidez juvenil, contracepção e aborto, analisando este entendimento frente à realidade que vivenciam, conhecendo e compreendendo as informações adquiridas através do meio escolar e familiar, bem como compreender o quanto o relacionamento que as adolescentes têm com seu meio sócio-familiar repercutiu para o acontecimento das gestações e como os aspectos conscientes e inconscientes destas pertenças familiares podem estar ligados a tais ocorrências. A análise do material é feita dentro do estudo de caso psicanalítico, e a ancoragem teórica situa-se nos campos de pesquisa da interlocução da psicanálise freudo-lacaniana, propiciando explicações sobre a temática não restritas ao referencial biológico e articuladas ao campo da Educação.The present thesis, of a qualitative approach, embraces the universe of the pregnancy in the adolescence, through non-directive interviews, investigating the way pregnant adolescents tell this occurrence.The research presents as main objectives, the offering of some understanding of how adolescents comprehend a sexual life beginning, youth pregnancy, contraception and abortion, analyzing their own comprehension facing the reality they live, leading to know and understand the information adolescents have about these topics, which are got from a school-family environment, as well as comprehending how much the adolescents´ social-family environment has reflected the happening of these pregnancies, and how the conscious and unconscious aspects of the family characteristics can be connected to such occurrence. This material analysis is made throughout a case study in psychoanalysis and the theorist approach is based on a field research and on Freud - Lacan Psychoanalysis, favoring not some explanations about the biological aspects but a link to the Educational field.

Wingo, Mary. "The Adolescent Stress Response to a Naturalistic Driving Stressor." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2000. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2591/.
Abstract:
The proposed study examined the role of anxiety and risk-taking in driving performance in adolescents. In addition to examining the sample as a whole, gender differences were assessed given earlier reports from our laboratory and others indicating that males and females differ with respect to risky behaviors to driving performance and anxiety. Adolescents' subjective and physiological responses to a driving simulator task were assessed. Anxiety was measured via self report and salivary cortisol. Participants provided a baseline saliva sample and 3 post-task samples for cortisol analysis. Subjective anxiety scores were obtained at both baseline and following the driving stressor. Information concerning impulsivity, as well as other psychological constructs was also collected at baseline. Unlike the pilot study, there were no relationships (with or without respect to gender) between salivary cortisol and both self-reported anxiety (state and trait) or impulsively measures for this sample. These results suggest that this group of adolescents may not have been anxious about the driving task. This discrepancy may stem from error introduced by the smaller sample size obtained from the initial findings or to other factors remaining outside the parameters of the current study. The task did, however, induce a slight hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis response indicating some physiological arousal. Males had significantly higher cortisol levels at baseline than females and at time point 3 while approaching significance at time points 2 and 4. Females possessed significantly higher trait anxiety than males and all post task cortisol levels were positively correlated to age while time points 2 and 4 (with time point 3 approaching significance, p=0.09) were inversely correlated with Self Depreciation scores. Additionally, females had Persecutory Ideas scores that were also negatively correlated with cortisol at time points 3 and 4. For both the entire sample and males only, the correlation between post-task cortisol and driving performance was positive and approached significance (p=0.07 and p=0.08, respectively), suggesting that some HPA activation may be facilitative for successful driving task performance. Correlations between driving performance and psychological constructs were explored and discussed with and without respect to gender.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to examine a multivariate model of parent-adolescent relationship variables, including parenting, family environment, expectations and conflict. These variables are examined simultaneously to investigate their relationships with adolescent adjustment in early adolescence. The sample for the current study consists of 710 culturally diverse participants who range in age from 11- to 14-years and who attend a middle school in a Southeastern state. Of these participants, 487 have a mother and father who participated in this study as well. Correlation analyses indicate that parental warmth and overprotection, family cohesion and adaptability, developmental expectations, and conflict are significant predictors of internalizing and externalizing behavior problems in early adolescents. Structural equation modeling analyses indicate that fathers' parenting behaviors may not predict directly externalizing behavior problems in males and females but instead may act through conflict; more direct relationships exist when examining mothers' parenting behaviors. The impact of parenting, family environment, conflict, and sex on early adolescents' internalizing and externalizing behavior problems are emphasized.Ph.D.

Abstract:
O trabalho de pesquisa Mais do que um tour e estudo do idioma: intercâmbio cultural como
processo de aprendizagem está dividido em três partes sendo que a primeira se ocupa com a
adolescência, a segunda com a educação e a terceira com o intercâmbio. Identificar situações
pertinentes a adolescência, tem-se mostrado de grande importância para auxiliar e
compreender as reações dos adolescentes, seus anseios, suas mudanças bruscas de humor, sua
ousadia e seus temores. Além disso, aspectos psicossociais e sociais são levados em
consideração ao longo da pesquisa, ou seja, suas relações com família e amigos na tentativa
de viver a moratória imposta pelo adulto até que alcance a sua adultez. A educação
oferecida nas escolas deve proporcionar o pleno desenvolvimento do educando, bem como o
exercício constante da cidadania e a preparação para o mundo do trabalho, conforme consta
na LDB. A interação, a troca de experiências e a vivência com o grupo de colegas de classe,
amigos e educadores permitem que os alunos se apropriem dos momentos em que a educação
está acontecendo, alcançando assim, uma educação completa. Importante ressaltar o papel
fundamental que o currículo e a avaliação desempenham na educação e, portanto em cada
escola comprometida com a formação de adolescentes. O assunto intercâmbio é abordado a
partir da pesquisa social feita com alunos que participaram de uma das edições dos programas
e apresenta a análise e os resultados dos dados fornecidos pelos participantes da pesquisa.
Ainda, com base nos resultados obtidos apresenta-se uma proposta de implantação de
programas de intercâmbio nas escolas da Rede Sinodal de Educação.The research More than a tour and study of a language: cultural exchange as a learning process is divided in three parts being the first one concerned with adolescence, the second with education and the third with the exchange program. Identifying situations in regard to adolescence has been very important to help understanding the reactions of adolescents, their longings and their impetuous changing in mood, their audacity and their fears. Moreover, psychosocial and social aspects are taken into consideration throughout the research, in other words, their relations with family and friends in the attempt to live the moratorium imposed by the adult until they reach their adult world. The education offered in the schools must provide the complete development of the student, as well as the exercise of citizenship and his preparation for the world of work, according to what is evident in LDB (Law of rules and basis). The interaction, the change of experience and the living together with the classmates, friends and teachers allow the students to assume the moments in which education is taking place, this way reaching a complete education. It is important to highlight the essential role that curriculum and evaluation play in education and, therefore in each school committed to the formation of adolescents. The subject exchange is approached from the social research carried out with the students that participated of one of the editions of the exchange and shows the analyses and results of the data provided by the participants. Besides, based on the results obtained, a proposal of implementation of exchange programs in the schools of Rede Sinodal de Educação is presented.

Abstract:
Le proces de ce travail prend pour point de depart une hypothese heuristique pour aborder au sein de la clinique psychiatrique la question du traitement des "troubles de l'adolescence". L'option preponderante est de situer une clinique transnosographique du sujet adolescent. La psychopathologie est donc dans cette approche mise en retrait pour soutenir une "dit-mention" ethique du passage de l'adolescence. L'intention que soutient la these est de montrer que tenir dans la cure une telle direction permet a l'adolescent de developper sa propre dimension curative, de travailler a sa guerison. La position du psychotherapeute a la rencontre de cette clinique adolescente est nommee et definie au terme d'un "engagement ontologique". Les adolescents recus portent des marginalites plurielles et leurs agirs intempestifs ne manquent pas de faire signe du cote des pathologies de "l'etat-limite". Ce travail interroge donc la pertinence de ce concept dans la clinique ainsi que ce que sous-tend l'ordinaire du terme de "crise d'adolescence". A contrario des demandes de soin adaptatives et re-educatives qui motivent les consultations le travail therapeutique ne recherche pas une extinction de la crise mais plutot cherche a prendre a partir de la crise elle-meme son orientation et son ouverture. Il s'agit pour le therapeute de trouver en quelque sorte le "biais" pour operer dans le sens de re-ouvrir a ces sujets en situation d'anomie des perspectives temporelles. Que le sujet pour ainsi dire puisse dans les fils deja serres de son destin emarger des interstices ou se mouvoir. Ces sujets conduisent le psychotherapeute au-dela de la "cure-type" a retrouver la dimension fondamentalement creative de la clinique. Cela suppose de revisiter la potentialite heuristique des concepts de la clinique freudienne en vue de leur articulation aux "dits" de souffrance de ces adolescents. Cette these est par la amenee a interroger des concepts fondamentaux de la metapsychologie et de la psychanalyse.

Abstract:
In Australia, and internationally, approximately 14% of young people experience clinical mental health problems with an increase in the rate of psychopathology symptoms occurring during adolescence (Kessler et al., 2002; Sawyer et al., 2000). To date, no representative Australian studies have comprehensively examined the risk and protective factors associated with resilience and vulnerability during the initial years of adolescence. To fill this gap and provide better understanding of factors that may mitigate risk during this vulnerable period of developmental transition, the current thesis is a collection of studies that aimed to identify ecological risk and protective factors associated with resilience, competence, and vulnerability of young Australians. Adolescents’ functioning is specifically considered in the context of disruptions to the parent-child and parent-parent relationship. The first aim of the thesis was to identify the ecological risk and protective factors associated with psychopathology and vulnerability in young Australian adolescents. Previous research on developmental psychopathology, resilience, and ecological research was used to provide a theoretical framework for the selection of variables included. Based on the reoccurring salience of the family environment for functioning throughout the lifespan, the second aim was to identify the unique contribution of family relations to difficulties in adolescence. Theories and models of development, family relations, and parenting were applied to investigate the third aim which was to identify factors associated with adolescents’ positive adaption to disruptions in family relations.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Abstract:
Etude 1- Objectif: Explorer les contributions relatives des facteurs socioculturels et psychopathologiques aux idéations suicidaires dans un échantillon d’adolescents issus de l’immigration (N=292). Bien que les événements de vie négatifs, les symptômes dépressifs, et l'individualisme sont des facteurs de risque, et l'attachement aux parents un facteur de protection chez les garçons et les filles, des différences de genre sont observées. Les traits limites (facteur de risque), l'assimilation et la marginalisation (les deux facteurs de protection) étaient des prédicteurs significatifs de l’idéation suicidaire chez les filles uniquement.Etude 2- Objectif: Explorer les différences ethniques (717 Français vs. 251 issus de l’immigration) concernant les facteurs de risques et de protection associés à l’idéation suicidaire dans une population d’adolescents. Les garçons issus de l’immigration rapportaient une sévérité d’idéation suicidaire plus importante que les garçons Français alors que les filles issues de l’immigration rapportaient une moyenne plus élevée à l’échelle de l’idéation suicidaire que leurs pairs Françaises. Des différences ethniques sont apparus significatives pour l’âge chez les garçons et pour les cognitions délinquantogènes, les traits limites et l’anxiété sociale chez les filles. Etude 3- Objectif : Explorer l’idéation suicidaire et les symptômes dépressifs en France par des analyses centrées sur les variables et sur les personnes dans un échantillon d’adolescents issus de l’immigration. La marginalisation prédisait significativement les idéations suicidaires alors que la discrimination perçue prédisait les symptômes dépressifs. Quatre classes latentes ont émergés de l’analyse : « Séparés-Intégrés », « Intégrés », « Indifférenciés » et « Individualisés ». Des différences significatives sont apparues entre les quatre profils culturels pour l’identité ethnique, la discrimination perçue et le stress acculturatif. En revanche, bien que la prévalence de l’idéation suicidaire et des symptômes dépressifs était élevée dans l’échantillon total et dans les profils culturels, aucune différence significative n’est apparue. Etude 4- Objectif : Identifier les aspects cognitifs et comportementaux qui sous-tendent les conduites suicidaires de 15 jeunes issus de l’immigration. Le suicide représente « un moyen de se libérer de la contrainte à simuler une identité » et « une reprise du contrôle ». Les dissonances culturelles, les distorsions cognitives, les cognitions identitaires favorisent l’émergence de comportements autodestructeurs et de stratégies de coping. Les aspects cognitifs et comportementaux, sous-tendus par des éléments culturels contradictoires, amènent ces adolescents à anticiper un possible rejet, qui susciterait une angoisse d’abandonStudy 1- Aim: Explore the contributions of sociocultural and psychopathological factors to suicidal ideation among of 292 adolescents with an immigrant background. Although stressful life events, depressive symptoms, and individualism were risk factors, and attachment to parents a protective factor for both boys and girls, some gender differences emerged. Borderline traits (risk factor), assimilation and marginalization (both protective factors) were significant predictors only among girls.Study 2- Aim: Explore ethnic differences (717 French vs. 251 with an immigrant background) regarding risk and protective factors associated to suicidal ideation among adolescents. The frequency of serious suicidal ideation was higher among the ethnic minority males group compared to the French males group. The mean of suicidal ideation however was higher among the ethnic minority group of females. Ethnic differences were observed regarding the age among males in the prediction of suicidal ideation and self-serving cognitive distortions, borderline traits, and social anxiety among females. Study 3- Aim: Examine suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms in France, both across variables and across persons in a non-clinical sample of adolescents with an immigrant background. Marginalization significantly predicted suicidal ideation whereas perceived discrimination significantly predicted depressive symptoms. Four latent classes emerged from analysis—“Separated-Integrated”, “Integrated”, “Undifferentiated” (characterized by adolescents who were not associated with any of the acculturation categories), and the “Individualized-Assimilated”. Significant differences appeared between the four classes for the indices of ethnic identity, perceived discrimination, and acculturative stress. Prevalence and mean score of suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms were high among both the sample and the four acculturative profiles; however no differences between the four classes emerged.Study 4- Aim: Identify cognitive and behavioral aspects which underline suicidal ideation and attempts of 15 adolescents with an immigrant background. Suicide represents “a way to release itself from the constraint to feign an identity”, and to “regain control”. Cultural dissonance, cognitive distortions, identity cognitions emphasize the emergence of self-destructive behaviors and coping strategies. These cognitive and behavioral aspects, underlined by contradictory cultural elements, lead these adolescents to anticipate a possible rejection, which may cause a fear of abandonment

Abstract:
Marijuana is the second most commonly used substance in the US. A growing literature suggests that socially anxious individuals use marijuana to manage their symptoms in social situations, which may explain why they are also more likely to experience problems. Unfortunately, the majority of the literature is based on research conducted with adult samples or the co-occurrence of diagnoses in adolescent samples. The proposed study sought to test the link between social anxiety (SA) and proxies for ‘real-time' marijuana use behaviors (i.e., use willingness) as well as use-related problems among adolescents. Participants were 69 adolescents (15-17; 55% female) recruited from the community reporting any lifetime marijuana use. Participants were randomly assigned to a novel social rejection or neutral laboratory task and completed measures of SA, marijuana use frequency, and related problems. Consistent with adult findings, main effects of SA and experimental condition on marijuana use willingness were expected to be qualified by an interaction in which the greatest marijuana use willingness would occur among high SA youth post-rejection (H1), SA would be positively related to marijuana use problems (H2), and among adolescents in the rejection condition, marijuana use willingness would be positively correlated with use problems (H3). Only H2 was supported, highlighting areas of convergence and divergence in the role of SA and social stress on marijuana outcomes. These data stand to improve the scientific knowledge on the relative roles of SA and social stress on marijuana use within an understudied, high-risk population and help inform future intervention efforts.

Abstract:
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2004.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: According to Hurlock ( in Louw, Gerdes & Meyer, 1985), traditional society has a larger number of prescribed values and rules of behaviour than is the case in modern society. In modern society the onus rests on the individual who is expected to direct his behaviour in accordance with the values of his choice. The individual has to accept responsibility for determining his own values. This may create problems for the adolescent because he will be confronted by a wide range of diverse values without the benefit of guidelines or rules to tell him which of those values should be accepted and which should rather be avoided. Against this background it becomes clear why the internalization of moral values, as they develop, is of utmost importance to the adolescent. In this study an attempt has been made to investigate the relationship between stage of moral development and locus of control within a group of Afrikaans-speaking adolescents. The study has further attempted to determine the influence of intellectual ability on the relationship between stage of moral development and locus of control. Males and females were also compared with respect to moral development and locus of control. The sample comprised 193 white, Afrikaans-speaking grade eleven pupils. Seventy-six were boys and 117 girls. The subjects were selected from three high schools situated in three different towns and/or cities. All the subjects came from complete families in which both biological parents were present. Taylor's Reasons for Action Questionnaire (1978) was used to determine the stage of moral development. This questionnaire is based on Lawrence Kohlberg's six stages of moral development which in itself developed from the cognitive-developmental structural approach to moral development. The Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Questionnaire was used to measure the level of locus of control. Intelligence test scores, as measured by the New South African Group Test, were obtained from the E119 records at the various schools. The responses to a biographical questionnaire were used to facilitate the demarcation of the sample. The results of the study indicated that on average the sample as a whole, functions on a conventional moral level. A significantly negative correlation (r(193) = -,28; P < ,001) was found between locus of control and level of moral developement. This indicates that within this group of Afrikaans-speaking adolescents an internal locus of control is associated with a higher level of moral development whilst and external locus of control is associated with a lower level of moral development. In this study intelligence had little or no influence on the relationship between level of moral development and locus of control. This supports the view of Kohlberg (1969) that there is a curved line relationship between the level of moral judgement and intellectual ability. Finally it may be said with a 95% degree of certainty, that there is a significant gender difference in respect of the construct of moral development. The girls used in this sample displayed a more developed level of moral development than the boys.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In tradisionele samelewings is daar, volgens Hurlock (aangehaal in Louw, Gerdes & Meyer, 1985), meer waardes en reëls vir gedrag voorgeskryf as in die moderne samelewing. In die moderne samelewing rus die onus op die individu om sy gedrag volgens die waardes van sy keuse in te rig. Hierdie verantwoordelikheid wat op die individu rus om self sy waardes te bepaal, kan vir die adolessent probleme skep aangesien hy deur 'n groot verskeidenheid waardes konfronteer word sonder riglyne of reëls oor watter waardes aanvaar en watter liefs vermy moet word. Teen hierdie agtergrond is dit duidelik waarom die internalisering van morele waardes, soos dit ontwikkel, van uiterste belang is vir die adolessent. Die onderhawige studie poog om die verband tussen die stadium van morele ontwikkeling en lokus van kontrole by 'n groep Afrikaanssprekende adolessente te ondersoek. Verder is probeer om die invloed van intellektuele vermoë op die verband tussen die stadium van morele ontwikkeling en lokus van kontrole te ondersoek. Laastens is die geslagte met mekaar vergelyk ten opsigte van die twee konstrukte, naamlik stadium van morele ontwikkeling en lokus van kontrole. Die ondersoekgroep het bestaan uit 193 blanke Afrikaanssprekende graad 11 leerlinge. Hiervan was 76 seuns en 117 meisies. Die toetslinge was afkomstig uit drie hoërskole wat in drie verskillende dorpe en/of stede geleë is. Die toetslinge het uit volledige gesinne gekom, dit wil sê, gesinne waar beide die biologiese ouers nog teenwoordig was in die huishouding. Die Redes vir Optrede Vraelys van Taylor (1978) is gebruik om die stadium van morele ontwikkeling vas te stel. Hierdie vraelys is gebaseer op Lawrence Kohlberg se ses stadia van morele ontwikkeling wat ontstaan het vanuit die kognitief-ontwikkelende strukturele benadering van morele ontwikkeling. Die Rotter Interne-Eksterne Lokus van Kontrole Vraelys is gebruik om die vlak van lokus van kontrole te bepaal. Verstandtoetstellings, soos gemeet deur die Nuwe Suid- Afrikaanse Groeptoets, is vanaf die E119-vorms by die onderskeie skole verkry. Die response op "n biografiese vraelys is benut ten einde die steekproef effektief at te baken. Die resultate van die ondersoek toon dat die totale steekproef wat gemiddeldes betref, op 'n konvensionele morele vlak redeneer. Daar is "n beduidende negatiewe verband r(193) = -,28; p< ,001) tussen lokus van kontrole en vlak van morele ontwikkeling gevind. Dit dui daarop dat, by hierdie groep Afrikaanssprekende adolessente, "n interne lokus van kontrole saamgaan met "n hoër vlak van morele ontwikkeling en "n eksterne lokus van kontrole met "n laer vlak van morele ontwikkeling saamgaan. In hierdie studie het intellektuele vermoë ook weinig tot geen invloed op die verband tussen vlak van morele ontwikkeling en lokus van kontrole gehad nie. Die bevinding ondersteun Kohlberg (1969) se siening dat die verband tussen vlak van morele oordeel en intellektuele vermoë kromlynig is. Laastens kan daar met 95% sekerheid gesê word dat die geslagte beduidend van mekaar verskil ten opsigte van die konstruk morele ontwikkeling. Dit blyk dat die meisies in hierdie steekproef moreel verder ontwikkel het as die seuns.

Abstract:
Although much research has examined the impact of life stress and the subsequent development of health symptoms, most of this research has been done with White middle class adults. Similar to the adult research, life stress research with children and adolescents has focused on White middle class individuals. The present study expands the knowledge about the stress process in ethnic/racial adolescents while controlling for the effects of SES. A sample population consisting of 103 Black students, 129 Hispanic students, and 105 White students was compared with respect to stressful events experienced, coping strategies, and social support. Students from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds were included within each ethnic/racial group studied. After experimentally and statistically controlling for the effects of socioeconomic status, significant differences were observed. Black and Hispanic students reported receiving higher levels of Enacted Social Support (actual support) than White students. Contrary to what has been previous suggested, Black and Hispanic students reported having experienced fewer stressful life events than White students. Other ethnic/racial group differences that emerged included differences in ways in which specific patterns of moderator variables served to enhance the relationship between life stress and psychological symptomatology.

Resumo: A partir da prática profissional em projeto socioambiental, Broto Verde, e de estudos psicológicos a respeito da adolescência, objetivou-se investigar as representações sociais sobre a adolescência e o adolescente por profissionais que atuaram no programa e compreender como essas representações se articulam no cotidiano, além de relacionálas ao trajeto histórico desse programa. Tratou-se de um estudo de caso de caráter qualitativo cujo referencial fundamentou-se na Teoria de Representações Sociais. A população alvo consistiu em dois grupos de profissionais, os responsáveis pela elaboração e os responsáveis pela execução das atividades do projeto. A análise e discussão dos dados obtidos indicaram de modo geral que houve diferenção nas representações entre os profissionais de ambos os grupos. Os que executam possuem uma representação abstrata e universal da adolescência, definem o adolescente de forma negativa, pela carência e pela falta. Os profissionais da elaboração possuem uma respresentação mais contextualizada, o veem de maneira mais positiva e afirmam que seu desenvolvimento se da nas relações que ele estabelece.
Abstract: From a professional experience in a socio-environmental project, named "Broto Verde", as well as from psychological studies regarding adolescence, it was intended to investigate with this research, about the social representations above the adolescence and the adolescents formed by those professionals who worked with them on this program, in order to comprehend how these representations are articulated in the daily life, and further, to relate them to the historical path of this project. It was a case study of qualitative nature which referential was based on the "Teoria das Representações Sociais" (Social Representations Theory). The target population consisted in two groups of professionals, those responsible for the elaboration and those in charge of the execution of the project's activities. The analysis and discussion about the raised informations indicates that, in general, there was differentiation in the representations among the professionals of both groups. The ones that were responsible for executing the activities represent the adolescence in an abstract and universal way, defining them negatively, because of their penury and absence. The professionals involved with the elaboration job have a representation that seems to be more complete, tending to look at them positively and believing that their development is constructed from its social relationships.

Thesis (M.A. (Clinical Psychology)) --University of Limpopo, 2013The aim of the study was to explore preference for support and the different coping strategies that are employed by adolescents’ following suicide attempt in Limpopo Capricorn district. The sample comprised of 81 adolescents of both male and female who were admitted at public hospitals around the district and referred to psychology department for intervention. Using purposive sampling, data was collected through the use of a questionnaire which was divided into 1. Demographical information, 2. Multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS), 3. Ways of coping scale (WCS) which consisted of three subscales: active-cognitive, active-behavioural and avoidance strategies. Most participants reported not having support. Participants who expressed support from family, friends and significant others indicated that although family, friends and significant others were equally perceived to be an important source of support, family was more inclined to be the most preferred source of support. This preference differed according to gender as females perceived family to be the most important source followed by friends and lastly significant others, while males order of preference was friends followed by significant others and lastly family; indicating that males are more inclined to have their friends as the most preferred source of support than females. The findings of the study also indicated that suicidal adolescents used avoidance strategies followed by cognitive and lastly behavioural strategies. A significant relationship was established in the use cognitive strategies and coping by adolescents who viewed their support structures as supportive and also with active behavioural strategies. On avoidance strategies there was no significant relationship established highlighting the possibility that those adolescents who feel that they have no support use avoidance as a coping strategy. The recommendations made on the results from this study are that research in suicide should be a continuous process that keeps up with the changing family, political and cultural dynamics of our society.
