The use of the extract rich in Cannabidiol (CBD) has shown to be a promising intervention in the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with improvements observed in sensory aspects and cognitive functions. However, there are still no reports relating the use of CBD and derivatives on the visual functions of people with ASD. This case study aimed to examine the effects of CBD on contrast sensitivity function (CBF) in an adolescent with ASD. Male participant, 14 years old diagnosed with ASD level 1 support. The intervention was divided into four weeks, with the administration of 10 drops of oil enriched with CBD daily, divided into two doses of 4.415 mg. The participant underwent pre- and post-intervention assessment. The Childhood Autism Assessment Scale (CARS) and the Socially Savvy Checklist were applied. To evaluate CBF, the Metropsis software (version 11.0) was used, where vertical sinusoidal grids were presented for spatial frequencies 0.2 to 14.5 cycles per degree (cpg). The intervention was well tolerated, with no reports of side effects over four weeks. There was an increase in contrast sensitivity for almost all spatial frequencies, except 14.5 cpg. This increase was more significant for spatial frequencies 3.1 and 6.2 cpg, respectively medium and high spatial frequencies. The CARS Scale and the Socially Savy protocol indicated improvements in several areas, suggesting potential benefits of CBD on the behavior of individuals with ASD. Despite limitations, such as the small sample size and the absence of a control group, this study represents an initial step in investigating the therapeutic potential of CBD in ASD. Future research is needed to validate these observations and develop evidence-based clinical recommendations.

-
The present study aimed to capture the Social Representations elaborated by the elderly
group regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, using the Theory of Social Representations as a
theoretical framework. It is a field study, exploratory in nature, using non-probabilistic
sampling (Snowball). A total of 43 (forty-three) elderly individuals participated in the
study, including 16 men and 27 women. The instruments used included a sociodemographic
questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, the free word association technique, the General
Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), and the WHOQOL-OLD scale. Data from the
sociodemographic questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistics (SPSS).
Narratives obtained through semi-structured interviews were processed using the
ALCESTE software. Hypothesis tests with a significance level of 5%, 95% confidence
intervals, descriptive statistics (mean, proportion, standard deviation), box plots, Reliability
Measures, Association Measures (Contingency Coefficient and Cramer's V), Pearson and
Spearman correlation, and Cluster Analysis were applied in the analyses. In summary, this
investigation played a pivotal role in highlighting the importance of social representations
and perceptions of the elderly regarding COVID-19 and the vaccine during the pandemic.
Furthermore, it demonstrated how social restrictions impacted the mental health of the
elderly. The results of this study provide valuable information for the development of
evidence-based policies aimed at improving the quality of life of the elderly during public
health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. By adopting a multidisciplinary approach
that combines the Theory of Social Representations and historical concepts, this research
contributed to a more comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by the elderly
population and can guide future interventions and strategies to support this vulnerable
group in times of crisis.

This study aimed to investigate interpersonal forgiveness of injustices suffered in the contexts of family, work, friendship and romantic partners. We sought to verify whether there are significant differences between men and women in forgiveness and in which context forgiveness occurs significantly. To achieve this objective, quantitative, descriptive and correlational field research was carried out with the participation of 239 people, 34.4% men and 65.6% women aged between 19 and 52 years. Data collection was carried out through of social networks. The questionnaire containing the items was made available to participants through a link shared through digital media. The Interpersonal Conflict Resolution scale was applied, consisting of two subscales: Agreement with Forgiveness to resolve interpersonal problems assessed on a 5-point scale (1 - I do not agree 5 - I completely agree) and Attitudes towards Forgiveness assessed on a scale out of 5 points (1 - I would not forgive 5 - I would totally forgive). Both subscales consist of 16 items that describe four events of injustice (lying, physical aggression, humiliation, and broken promise) and four agents of injustice (best friend, romantic partner, relative, and boss). The results showed significant differences between men and women in agreement and attitude towards forgiveness, the analysis of the results showed a significant difference between men and women when the offense was made by the romantic partner, therefore, in the other indicators there were no significant differences in agreement and in the attitude towards forgiveness.

Family is the basis of society where changes reflect, in general, in all spheres of life. Any constitutional precept that violates fundamental rights and guarantees reflects directly on the family institute. Family law has been undergoing constant transformations due to the recognition of new family models. With the diversity of family relationships, cases arise in which two fathers, or two mothers, begin to effectively fulfill this role in a child's life. In this context, it is recorded that family relationships are no longer based solely on genetic ties, giving real importance to affection and thus configuring multiparenthood. For this reason, it is important that Psychology be able to cover all the affective and social situations in which families currently find themselves. international searching for the terms Multiparentality and family. The third study aims to know, through the Theory of Social Representations, to apprehend how university students of Law and Psychology courses from the fifth period understand the term Multiparentality. The fourth study aims to build a measure of attitudes towards the mentally ill, which was developed with university students from the courses of the previous study, corroborating a two-factor model about multiparenthood, that is, positive and negative attitudes, but there was no difference in regarding the courses. The fifth Study deals with knowing the correlations of attitudes towards multiparenthood, Character Strengths and Personality. There is a consensus that the two constructs are correlated, but differ in conception, the traits are relatively stable structures and the strengths of character always have a positive structure, what differs are the virtues and their respective strengths. In addition, in the body of the text, it presents a partial of the preliminary studies highlighted here.

Recent studies suggest that empathy may be an important factor in motivating people to engage in suicide prevention actions. However, to date, the association between empathy and willingness to help people at risk of suicide has only been investigated directly, without examining how this relationship could be moderated by other variables. In this thesis, the hypothesis was raised that self-efficacy and knowledge (factual and perceived) about suicide could function as moderators of the aforementioned relationship. Therefore, the main objective of this work was to investigate the moderating role of self-efficacy and knowledge about suicide in the relationship between empathy and willingness to help people at risk of suicide. To achieve the proposed objective, different studies were conducted organized into four empirical articles. The first article, which included the participation of 448 subjects (76.8% women; Mage = 33.94; SD = 14.80) from the general population, sought to adapt the Gatekeeper Self-Efficacy Scale (GKSES), having observed that the measure in question presents evidence of validity for use in the Brazilian context. The second article, in turn, carried out with 498 Brazilians (Mage = 33.84; SD = 14.20), investigated the quality of the items on the Literacy of Suicide Scale Short Form (LOSS-SF), through the Item Response Theory, verifying adequate parameters of discrimination and difficulty of the items for the investigated public. The third article presented the construction process and preliminary evidence of the Perceived Knowledge About Suicide Scale (PKSS) for the Brazilian context, having been carried out with data from 410 people from the general population, mostly women (68.5%), with ages ranging from 18 to 75 years old (Mage = 34.99; SD = 15.75). Being in possession of the appropriate instruments to measure our variables of interest, the last and most important article of the thesis sought to respond to its central problem and investigate the moderating role of self-efficacy and knowledge (factual and perceived) about suicide in the relationship between empathy and willingness to help. 1096 Brazilian adults participated in the research, mostly female, with ages ranging from 18 to 60 years old (Mage = 32.08; SD = 12.34). These participants responded to the Suicide Helpfullness Scale, the Interpersonal Reactivity Index, the GKSES, the LOSS-SF, the PKSS and a sociodemographic and psychosocial questionnaire. To achieve the proposed objective, moderation analyzes were carried out using the Jamovi software (version 2.3.26). These analyzes demonstrated that empathy (β = 0.19; SE = 0.01; p < 0.001), self-efficacy (β = 0.12; SE = 0.02; p < 0.001), factual knowledge (β = 0.17; SE = 0.09; p < 0.001) and perceived knowledge about suicide (β = 0.21; SE = 0.05; p < 0.001) significantly predict the willingness to assist someone at risk of suicide. Furthermore, moderation analyzes showed that the relationship between empathy and willingness to help is accentuated as perceived knowledge increases. Taken together, the results of the thesis demonstrate that empathy is, in fact, a driving force behind the willingness to help someone at risk of suicide, but there are factors that can accentuate this motivational aspect, and these should be taken into account when formulating interventions to suicide prevention that adopt the promotion of empathy in their scope.

-
The objective of this study is to explain some aspects that favor the prevention of sexual violence (SV) against children and adolescents. The thesis defended is that knowing the diagnosis of the SV situation (problem) and clarifying how SV prevention is understood at school, leads to greater awareness about the need for primary prevention behaviors; and these, in turn, are explained by the relationship between the underlying aspects (beliefs, values and attitudes). To meet this objective, the thesis was structured into one theoretical chapter and four empirical chapters, results of articles. Chapter 1 presents a review of the literature on SV in history, prevention policies and coping with this type of violence, in addition to the Social Psychology theories (beliefs, values and attitudes) that support this thesis. Chapter 2, of a documentary and descriptive nature, aimed to outline the profile of SV notifications against children and adolescents, registered in the Violence and Accident Surveillance System (VIVA; SINAN/NET) in the city of João Pessoa, between 2017 and 2020. 255 notifications were analyzed using SPSS version 21.0 software. The results demonstrated that reports of SV are more frequent in female and mixed-race pre-adolescents. The majority of notifications were classified as sexual abuse (SA), occurring once, in a home, with a male aggressor and the victim's boyfriend. The time between the episode and the disclosure of AS was longer in adolescents [t(253)= -2.75, p=0.001] and rape was more common among girls (χ2=12.305/gl=4, p=0.015) , and it was not possible to identify which were the notifying bodies. When AS occurred at home, there was a tendency for the episodes to repeat themselves χ2(30)=178.74, (p<0.001). The cases were referred to various protection policies, however, there was no articulation and coordination between the reporting bodies. Considering the school as a suitable space for the protection of children and adolescents and, consequently, to prevent cases of SV, Chapter 3 was formulated. This, of an exploratory nature, sought to understand how SV prevention actions are understood and carried out by teachers of elementary education. 41 teachers from public and private schools participated (38.1%), the majority of whom were female, aged between 29 and 58 years old (M=42.6; SD=7.15). An online questionnaire was applied, in addition to sociodemographic questions. Descending Hierarchical Classification was used to analyze the responses with the help of the Iramuteq software. The results showed four classes in the axis on Action in Coping Policy and two classes in the axis about the Articulation between Health and Education Policies. Participants demonstrated a lack of knowledge regarding SV prevention standards and policies, a lack of training on human rights and the need to be more active as prevention agents. Furthermore, they perceived prevention as more focused on the secondary dimension (after the violence occurs) than the primary dimension (before it even manifests itself). The rapprochement between health and education policies suggests the possibility of more comprehensive and adequate management in tackling the problem of SV. In this sense, we considered the extent to which the underlying aspects (beliefs, values and attitudes) are related and favor primary SV prevention behaviors. Therefore, Chapter 4 was proposed, which falls within the field of Psychometrics and sought to understand psychometric evidence (factorial validity and internal consistency) of the Attitudes Toward the Prevention of Sexual Abuse Scale (EAFPAS) and the Behavioral Intention Scale to Prevent Sexual Abuse (EICPAS). Two studies were carried out with a general population. In Study 1, 223 people participated, most of them female (76.2%), single (60.1%), with a mean age of 32.12 (SD= 11.15), who answered the EAFPAS and demographic questions . The measurement items presented a single-factor structure, with Cronbach's alpha of 0.83. Study 2 had another 223 participants, the majority were female (72.3%) and single (70.4%), with an average age of 30.39 years (SD = 9.09). Through confirmatory factor analysis, it was observed that the single-factor structure represented the best alternative for both measures, with the EAFPAS being reduced from 16 to 9 items, with Cronbach's alpha of α = 0.89 and the EICPAS being reduced from 10 to 6 items, with Cronbach's alpha of 0.80. It is concluded that both instruments have evidence of factorial validity and reliability and can measure, respectively, attitudes and behaviors to prevent sexual violence in the general population. Finally, Chapter 5 deals with the proposal of a theoretical model explaining prevention behaviors based on beliefs, values and attitudes. The aim was to find out to what extent the relationship between beliefs, values and attitudes explain violence prevention behaviors. to sexual. 207 undergraduate students participated, aged between 68 and 18 (M= 26.1; SD= 12.3), with the majority being female (53.4%) and single (72.6%). They responded to the Attitudes towards the Prevention of Sexual Abuse Scale, the Beliefs about Sexual Abuse Scale, the Basic Values Questionnaire and the Behavioral Intention to Prevent Sexual Abuse Scale. The Pearson correlation results showed that there was a negative correlation between VS prevention beliefs and behaviors (r=-0.50; p < 0.001); that SV prevention attitudes were positively correlated with prevention behaviors (r=0.45; p < 0.001), values of the suprapersonal subfunction (r=0.37; p < 0.001), interactive (r=0.15; p < 0.05) and existence (r=0.20; p < 0.05) and negatively with the values of the normative subfunction (r=-0.34; p < 0.001). The mediation analysis showed that the relationship between beliefs about SV and SV prevention behaviors is mediated by attitudes (indirect effect: β = -0.25, 95% CI (b) [-0.43; -0.04 ], p = 0.018). Finally, when suprapersonal levels were very low, the relationship between beliefs and behaviors is weaker (b = -0.43; p < 0.001) than when suprapersonal value levels are high (b = -0.99 ; p < 0.001); Likewise, it was evident that when levels of interactive value were low, the relationship between beliefs and behaviors is weaker (b = -0.25; p < 0.001) than when levels of interactive value are high (b = -0.93; p < 0.001), indicating that suprapersonal and interactive values moderate the impact of this relationship. The set of articles made it possible to gather important information to theoretically and methodologically support prevention programs at school.

Phenomena related to drug use constitute a rich field of research in the human sciences, primarily because they are experienced in everyday life, symbolically structured, and encompass individual, cultural, and group dimensions. The main objective of this thesis was to analyze social representations of drugs and their users through a comparative analysis of gender-related prejudicial attitudes. In light of this, the thesis proposed the hypothesis that there is prejudice against drug users, regardless of their gender. However, there is more prejudice against male drug users in terms of perceived threat, particularly in relation to the fear of physical violence. Concerning women, there is more prejudice in terms of moral values due to the breaking of gender norms, with this prejudice being more covert and benevolent. To address this thesis, six studies were conducted. The first study was theoretical and aimed to delve into the topic of social representations of drug users while comparing gender and addressing prejudice. The second study sought to understand and analyze social representations of drug users from the perspective of Social Representations Theory. It was a qualitative, descriptive study involving 40 professionals in the mental health network of the State of Paraíba, aged between 19 and 62 years (M=31, SD=11.07). Semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed using IRAMUTEQ software. The results suggest that drug users face societal prejudice, with female users experiencing more prejudice as they are perceived as symbols of care and household caretakers. Their behavior in drug dependence is seen as a transgression of the social norms imposed on them in the roles of mother, wife, and caregiver. The third study aimed to analyze the Social Representations (SR) of crack users. It included 40 drug users of both sexes who were in Therapeutic Communities and Rehabilitation Clinics in the State of Paraíba, Brazil. The Free Association of Words Technique (FAWT) was used, with the stimulus "crack users" and "crack," analyzed with the help of IRAMUTEQ software through Prototypical and Similarity Analyses, along with a sociodemographic questionnaire analyzed through simple frequency calculations and percentages. The core of the social representations for the stimulus "crack users" revolved around terms such as distrust, humiliation, theft, and lack of character. Men focused on the drug itself, leading to a process of depersonalization, while women focused on negative feelings. For the stimulus "crack," men targeted negative feelings, while women focused on the disease and blame. The fourth study in this thesis involved the adaptation of measurement scales and exploratory analyses to obtain validated scales that contribute to understanding prejudice directed at drug users. The adaptation aimed to consider gender (male and female) in the context of drug users. The scales included the Threat Perception Scale towards Drug Users (Passos et al., 2023), the Social Contact Intent Scale towards Women Drug Users (Medeiros, 2018), and the Benevolence Scale towards schizophrenia (Melo, 2017). The sample consisted of 307 subjects from the general population of residents in Brazil. Data analyses were conducted using FACTOR software. Exploratory factor analysis allowed for an initial exploration of the underlying structure of the scales, revealing item saturations suggesting potential underlying factors. The fifth study focused on confirmatory analyses of the adaptations of the instruments used in the previous study, aiming to obtain validated scales that enhance the understanding of prejudice directed at drug users. The general objective of this study was to conduct Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The results indicated that the adaptations of the scales had good psychometric properties, pointing toward a unidimensional structure. Finally, the sixth study aimed to analyze manifestations of prejudice directed at drug users, with a gender analysis. The research included a sample of 280 individuals divided into two groups: 140 participants who responded to research questionnaires related to the male gender and 140 participants who responded to questionnaires related to the female gender, along with a sociodemographic questionnaire. Measurement scales used included Social Contact Intent, Threat Perception, and Benevolence toward drug users. Data from the measurement scales and sociodemographics were analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequency, mean comparisons (independent samples t-test and factorial ANOVA), and Pearson's bivariate correlation. Effect sizes of differences were calculated using Cohen's d coefficient. The IBM SPSS statistical software for Windows, version 23.0, was utilized for data analysis. In summary, the general results indicate that there is prejudice against drug users, whether male or female, with them being perceived as a threat and facing low social contact intentions. Gender differences were observed, with more benevolence and a greater intent for social contact directed towards women drug users. It is hoped that this work will stimulate future studies on the gender-related theme, considering prejudice against drug use and assist in understanding the social stigmas experienced by these drug users.

-
The process of globalization, the expansion of informal markets and the intensive use of various technologies contribute to the precariousness of female labor and, also, to its unviability and lack of social prestige. The professional category chosen in this study was women who work as couriers through a delivery app. Initially, a literature review was carried out, which sought to contextualize the emergence of platform work, with emphasis on the inclusion of women in this work activity. The present study is theoretically based on the Psychodynamics of Work and studies on the sexual division of labor. It aims to analyze the relationship between work, subjectivity and gender in the activity of couriers using a delivery app in the city of João Pessoa. A qualitative approach was chosen, whose main means of data production was an individual semi-structured interview. For data analysis, thematic content analysis proposed by Laville & Dionne (1999) was used. As a result, we realized that app delivery women experience a situation of insecurity, harassment, discrimination and invisibility at work. Furthermore, this activity, while providing some pleasures, produces suffering, as well as the various challenges faced daily. Finally, it is concluded that it is important to bring more visibility to this professional category by presenting proposals for improving their living and working conditions.

This dissertation aims to propose an explanatory model of acts of dehumanization in the context of romantic relationships. For this, it will be divided into three articles. Article 1 aimed to map the empirical studies on the phenomenon from the perspective of Social Psychology, through a scope review. The results showed that the theme is still emerging, obtaining only nine studies in the international context, but it already presents itself as a correlate of worrying phenomena, such as physical and emotional abuse by intimate partners. Article 2, in turn, aimed to adapt and validate the Dehumanization in Romantic Relationships Scale (DIRSS) instrument for the Brazilian context. In Study 1, 268 people participated (Mage = 29.07 years; SD = 9.90), 66.4% of them female and 81% residing in the state of Paraíba. In this study, an independent exploratory factorial analysis was performed for each subscale (perpetrator and target), which suggested a unifactorial solution, with adequate reliability indices in both versions (UniCo = 0.96; MIREAL = 0.27; α = 0 .92; ω = 0.93. UniCo = 0.93; MIREAL = 0.25; α = 0.94; ω = 0.94). In Study 2, 212 people participated (Mage = 29.99 years; SD = 10.82), 50.90% of whom were male and 79.70% were residents of the state of Paraíba. Article 3 aimed to test the mediating role of human values in the relationship between personality and dehumanization in romantic relationships. There were 216 people (Age = 29.3; SD = 9.8; range 18 to 65 years), with the majority living in the state of Paraíba (86.1%). The Big Five Personality Factors Inventory (BFI-20), the Basic Values Questionnaire (QVB) and the Dehumanization in Romantic Relationships Scale (DIRSS) were applied, in the version adapted and validated for Brazilian Portuguese. Descriptive statistics and the following inferential statistics (pairwaise method) were performed: Pearson correlations, multiple linear regression (enter method) and double mediation models. Among the hypotheses tested in the models, the mediating role of the interactive subfunction in the relationship between the trait of agreeableness and the perpetration of dehumanization in romantic relationships stands out. The results are discussed in light of previous literature on the variables presented and the contribution of the research to the emerging understanding of the relationship between the three constructs.

Feminist perspectives that anchor their interpretations on the intersectionality of sex/gender, ethnicity/race and class relations, have been ensuring or taking care that these social categories are not forgotten when reading the social field or the phenomena arising from it, although not yet figure or are incipient in several specific fields of knowledge, such as Work Psychology. This scenario is especially worrying when it comes to Brazilian society, given that it is composed of racism, sexism and classism. Of which, the issue of paid domestic work (TDR) is an exponent of this story. In contemporary times, we are witnessing the diarization of TDR. Thus, this thesis aimed to analyze the subjectivity-work relationship of female domestic workers with a dimension of sex/gender, race and class. Therefore, this thesis is organized into five articles. The first one deals with the detailed presentation of the theoretical foundations that supported the definition of the problem and the guiding questions of the main investigation. The second article brings together information, research results and statistics, national and international, accessed from a documentary research, about the situation of women (s) in the context of productive restructuring and the Covid-19 pandemic. The panorama constructed or organized in this article adds elements and gives continuity to the theoretical discussions carried out in the previous chapter. The third article comprises a systematic review and meta-analysis of the national scientific production on the relationship TDR and gender. Carrying out this study made it possible to narrow down the discussions in relation to women domestic workers and the Brazilian reality, in addition to having enabled the characterization of Brazilian scientific production on the subject and the identification of convergences and divergences between the productions, as well as the directions or referrals of researches. The fourth and fifth articles refer to qualitative research with the participation of ten women day laborers. In the fourth article, the objective was to understand the repercussions of sex/gender, race and class in the daily work and in the subjective mobilization of day laborers. We evidenced several situations of the day to day work or that configure the work activity of the day laborers engendered in the insignia, relations and material conditions resulting from the differentiations/hierarchizations of race, sex/gender and class. Furthermore, we identified processes of naturalization or assimilation of differentiations/hierarchies among the day laborers, which have repercussions on their individual and collective conduct, although movements of resistance or inflection have also been observed. The fifth and final article aimed to analyze the impacts of the pandemic context on the work activity and mental health of female domestic day laborers, taking into account the intersectionality between sex/gender, race and class at work. The findings reflect the role of sex/gender, race and class inequalities in the worsening of the work/life conditions of women day laborers and the negative consequences on their health. The pandemic experiences of these workers were marked by extreme subsistence difficulties, new dilemmas or risks and the updating of micro-oppressions in labor relations, which caused them various discomforts, from anxiety to feelings of inferiority. The combination of articles provides elements of intelligibility about the condition of female domestic worker and its relationship with the configuration of subjective experiences and the quality of health of research participants. In addition, it invites us to critically and inventively reflect on the difficulties or ways of coping with the disparities of sex/gender, race and class, which substantially cross the work/life issues of women day laborers.

This dissertation aimed to analyse how a promotion in a woman's work can influence her
marital relationship and what the consequences of this will be. As well as evaluating the
moderating role of ambivalent sexism and the participant's gender in the perception of more
negative consequences for women. For this purpose, a study was carried out with 303
university students (53.8% women), aged between 18 and 60 years (M = 23.73, SD = 6.25).
The ethical procedures prescribed in resolution nº 466/2012 of the National Health Council
(CNS) were followed and the terms of free and informed consent were duly signed by the
participants. The compound was composed of three parts. The first part consisted of the Glick
and Fiske Ambivalent Sexism Inventory. The second part consisted of an experimental
manipulation scenario with two conditions. Then, the participants answered four questions,
using a seven-point Likert scale, about the situation. Finally, participants answer
sociodemographic questions. Data were analyzed with the help of JASP and Iramuteq
software. The results reveal that there is a greater perception of the risk of domestic violence
when the woman continues to take care of the house and children alone, because this dynamic
is very present in abusive relationships. They also reveal that men perceive a significantly
lower risk of domestic violence than women in both conditions. The textual analyzes adopted
heterogeneous classes that raised questions such as: social gender roles, financial freedom,
female double shifts, fragile masculinity, etc. Taken together, these results indicate that
sexism still dictates marital relations and gender roles, and that its negative effect is associated
with both its hostile and benevolent forms

There has been an increasing incidence of mental disorders and psychological distress among university students, underscoring the urgency for attention and care. Grounded in the Theory of Social Representations and Prejudice, this study aims to analyze the social representations held by university students and teachers regarding mental disorders and psychological suffering, and to identify potential indications of prejudice. The hypothesis posits that mental disorders and psychological distress are represented differently among students and teachers, but both representations contain negative elements indicative of bias against students with these issues, with mental disorders showing greater evidence of prejudice. This thesis consists of three articles and an informational booklet about mental health in academic settings. The introductory article establishes the theoretical framework, contextualizing and conceptualizing the university environment, the theory of social representations, mental disorders, psychological suffering, and prejudice. It provides a historical and cultural overview of these themes. The second article undertakes a comparative analysis of the social representations of mental disorders and psychological suffering held by university students and teachers. This article includes 263 participants: 178 students and 85 teachers. Data was collected using the Free Word Association Technique (FWA), with the stimuli "mental disorder" and "psychological distress" and analyzed through prototypical analysis. Open-ended questions ("What does mental disorder mean to you?" and "What does psychological distress mean to you?") were also subjected to Descending Hierarchical Classification (DHC). Findings revealed that mental disorders were often represented as illness, suffering, depression, and madness. Psychic suffering, on the other hand, was depicted as pain, anguish, and sadness. The third article aims to explore indications of prejudice in the social representations of mental disorders and psychological suffering held by students and professors, particularly in relation to mentally ill peers. Utilizing the same sample as the second article, results were analyzed using CHD. Consequences of mental disorders included suffering/depression, exclusion/prejudice, and interference with daily life. For psychological suffering, representations emerged as disruptions to life and pain/depression. Elements suggesting prejudice included disregard/banalization/mockery for mental disorders, and exclusion/isolation as well as low performance/avoidance for mental suffering. Finally, the last text is an informational booklet aimed at providing insights into student mental health issues, guiding and/or sensitizing the academic community and the general population to gain a better understanding of what mental disorders and psychological distress entail, as well as their potential consequences within the academic context. Furthermore, the booklet presents several strategies for preventing the onset of mental health challenges in university educational spaces. We can observe that the social representations held by students and university faculty regarding mental disorders and psychological distress diverge in certain aspects between the two groups, as anticipated. However, they also share commonalities, such as the evocation of sadness and suffering in response to both stimuli. We also identified social representations that indicate the presence of prejudice, with evocations like prejudice itself, exclusion, and stigma. All the findings pointed toward the importance of initiatives that provide clarification and guidance regarding the concepts of mental disorders and psychological distress, as well as raising awareness within the academic community, in order to alleviate negative representations and prejudiced behaviors.

This study aims to comprehensively understand the relationship between health and work among managers of Family Health Units (FHU). This purpose is further divided into specific objectives, starting by examining how these managers organize their work activities to maintain their health; understanding the nature of managerial work; investigating their understanding of health and work; identifying prevalent patterns of illness and their causes; exploring how managers balance work with their personal lives; and discovering the strategies used to prevent illness. Ten managers from a health district located in a capital city in the Northeast of Brazil participated in this study. These managers met the prerequisites for the research, namely, they held positions in FHUs and were effectively responsible for administration. Temporary managers or those covering for someone else's absence were excluded. The theoretical framework upon which this research is based is Ergology. As for the methodology, this work can be characterized as a case study, where the following instruments were used: a semi-structured questionnaire, with questions about social and professional data, and a semi-structured interview. The data analysis was conducted using content analysis as an analytical method that categorizes and complements the data, with the aim of obtaining a more meaningful interpretation. It was found that the managers have a complex and multifaceted job. Each of them employs different strategies to maintain their health at work, such as effective teamwork, separating personal and professional aspects, and achieving satisfactory results in solving the issues faced by the users of the FHUs they oversee. It was also noticed that the lack of recognition for their efforts and the inconsistencies in the work environment, whether from users or the team, result in difficulties in managing their lives and work. The study also addressed gender issues, as all the interviewees were women, and there were connections between their profession, remuneration, and their role in caregiving functions. Furthermore, it was observed that these managers demonstrated high satisfaction and feel healthy in their roles within these units. Recognition for their work, salary adjustments, and improvements in issues like infrastructure and the team are crucial aspects in ensuring the health of these managers, given that the question arose at the end of the research regarding the possibility of maintaining their health at work in light of these persisting problems.

The emotional intelligence (EI) was associated with the concept of leadership, which came to be seen as a leader's competence in leading, benefiting the conduction, engagement and motivation of a group of people. In this context, this thesis aimed to study the emotional intelligence and leadership constructs anchored in the Theory of Social Representations (SRT), since this theoretical/methodological contribution makes it possible to access the network of senses and meanings, shared by a group to which one belongs, as well as study them through theoretical and historical concepts. Structurally, this thesis was developed in two parts: the first article was related, The connections between Emotional Intelligence and Transformational Leadership: a systematic review study, which aimed to carry out a systematic review about the interconnection between emotional intelligence and transformational leadership. Six articles were selected, whose contents were processed by the ALCESTE software, and analyzed by analyzing the Descending Hierarchical Classification. After processing the data by Alceste, three thematic classes emerged, which were named: (i) Types of leadership and emotional intelligence in the context of education, (ii) Transformational leadership as a mediating factor for increasing the effectiveness of teams, and (iii) Emotional intelligence of the leader as a significant factor for the performance of employees at work. It was also observed in the researched literature the scarcity of scientific productions on the themes in different continents and realities, as well as the need to apply studies in the Brazilian context. The second article was of an empirical nature Emotional intelligence and its relationship with the concept of transformational leadership: a psychosociological study. This study aimed to study the constructs of emotional intelligence with transformational leadership from the theoretical framework of Social Representations. 101 employees participated, aged between 18 and 55 years (M=35.47), from a higher education institution in the State of Paraíba. As instruments, a socio-demographic questionnaire and a semistructured interview were used. The textual production was processed with the aid of the ALCESTE software and analyzed by Descending Hierarchical Classification, sociodemographic data using SPSS (version 21). From the results of the processing of the dialogues of the social actors, three thematic classes emerged: (i) Concept of transformational leadership, (ii) conception of emotional intelligence and (iii) contributions of the leader to the team. The speeches of the interlocutors presented a profile of a participative leader, in the intervention of support to his subordinates, expanding the studied concepts for better personal and professional development of each one involved. Knowing how to deal with your emotions and the emotions of others becomes a necessary condition, not only for the leader, but also for everyone who deals with relationships, whether in the personal or professional sphere.

This dissertation aimed to analyze the report of mothers of children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) about their parenting experiences in three age groups, considering the stages of child development and also taking into account the changes over time that were listed by the mothers, in addition to the hindering and facilitating factors they face. This is a qualitative exploratory research with a cross-sectional design. The theoretical framework that underpinned the research was Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Model and relevant research on the proposed topic. Twelve mothers of children diagnosed with autism participated in this study. The selected age range included 3 groups with 4 mothers in each group: Group 01: mothers of children between 2 and 3 years old; Group 02: mothers of children between 4 and 6 years old; and Group 03: mothers of children between 7 and 11 years old. A family sociodemographic questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were used with the participants. The results were analyzed using Bardin's Content Analysis. The results allowed identifying that the diagnostic trajectory was marked by the characteristics of the investigation and disclosure of the diagnosis, including the impacts of disclosure and the lack of professional clarification. In Group 01, all children received the diagnosis at an earlier age (at 2 years old), unlike Groups 02 and 03, where the age of diagnosis ranged from 3 to 4 years. Half of the children had Level 1 support, two had Level 2 support, two had Level 3 support, and three children from Group 01 (2 to 3 years old) did not have a defined level. It was evident that the daily life of families focused mainly on the child with ASD, and the responsibility for care often fell on the mother. Mention of the father figure appeared when the mothers described the care provided by the father, and it was noted that they have less time available due to their work. Additionally, in all three groups, there was a predominance of references to the terms "difficult/difficulty" when describing what it means to them to be a mother of a child with ASD. Among the difficulties, in Group 01, the mention of the child's behavior was more frequent, followed by experiences of judgment and/or prejudice. In Group 02 (4 to 6 years old), the predominant reference was the difficulty in accessing treatments. In Group 03, the lack of acceptance by school professionals stood out. The mentions of personal and/or environmental resources used in the three groups demonstrate that family members are capable of reorganizing themselves in the face of difficulties. The importance of early intervention was emphasized, particularly in Group 01 (2 to 3 years old). Regarding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, reverberations and challenges related to social isolation and changes in routine were identified, as well as repercussions on access to therapies. The expectations for the future of the child with ASD were also addressed, and references were made to the re-idealization of the child, hope in treatment, and hopes that the child would become more independent. The discussion of the results considered the maternal accounts, the characteristics of children with ASD, the literature on autism, the Bioecological Theory of Human Development (BTHD), and the PPCT Model (Person, Process, Context, and Time). The use of BTHD facilitated the understanding of parental experiences and provided access to important information that can assist parents, children with ASD, and other family members. However, it was found that there is still no robust literature that proposes to investigate the theme of autism from a bioecological point of view, thus suggesting that further studies be carried out with this focus. It has been shown that autism causes specific repercussions and demands for parental figures, influencing the interactions between parents and children throughout the child's development, and these reverberations impact parental beliefs and parental behavior.

The global movement for inclusion has become a political, cultural, social and pedagogical issue. As a result, the organization of schools must be rethought, implying structural and cultural change so that everyone has their specificities met. A relevant part of the discussion and effectiveness of inclusion in an educational context are curricular adaptations, which constitute an important tool for reflection and proposition of a responsive teaching to those who demand access to the offered educational proposal. The psychologist is considered an important professional to act as a mediator in the interrelation between the Specialized Educational Service (AEE), the multifunctional resource room and the elaboration of the development plan individual and school given that it can collaborate to enable the child's access to the school's curricular proposals. Given the above, the objective of this study is to understand and analyze the conceptions and practices of school psychologists and teachers about curricular adaptations in public schools in the city of João Pessoa-PB. As part of the study, the theme of inclusion was explored and discussed, with emphasis on curricular adaptations as a tool to make it effective, and a literature survey was carried out in order to investigate, in national and international databases, whether and how psychologists have acted facing demands for curricular adaptations. This investigation ratified, in the researched form, that there is a shortage of scientific productions in the field of psychology in dialogue with curricular adaptations. A qualitative field research was carried out in elementary schools in the municipal public network of João Pessoa-PB. The study included 10 school psychologists, 10 teachers from Elementary School I, and 10 teachers from Specialized Educational Assistance (AEE), who answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The analysis of the sociodemographic questionnaire showed that eight psychologists participated in specific training to work in the school area, seven took an improvement course related to inclusive education; nine AEE teachers and six teachers from the regular classroom took training focused on school inclusion, and nine AEE teachers and five from the regular classroom took further training related to inclusive education. These data indicate that professionals have sought to deepen their knowledge about the question investigated and improve their practices aimed at inclusive education. The analysis of the interviews was guided by the general guidelines of Bardin (1977) and organized into general axes for analysis. The results showed, through the speeches of the school psychologists, that there are joint actions carried out more frequently with the teachers of the AEE and of the regular classroom for the elaboration of the curricular adaptations, according to the Axes of Analysis: 'Participating in the Planning' and 'Guiding teachers '. However, it is important to reflect on how school psychologists have been working with teachers and how psychological work can specifically contribute to making curricular adaptations. With regard to the understanding of curriculum adaptation, the psychologists' responses indicate that they conceive it as: 'Adapting activities according to the degree of mentality/intelligence level', 'Individualized for each student' and 'Meeting the student's needs'. The teachers, on the other hand, presented in their speeches conceptions about curricular adaptations that refer to 'Making the activity/content accessible', 'Equivalent to the PEI [Individualized Teaching Plan]' and 'Achieving an objective/target of the content'. It is noticed that the professors express notions that converge with each other and that are close to the concepts found in the literature on curricular adaptations. However, it is worth noting that the PEI is an instrument that enables the implementation of curriculum adaptations. This study reaffirms the importance of school psychologists in teaching institutions, as mediators in the interrelationship between AEE and regular classroom teachers. For the implementation of these actions, it is essential to carry out continuous in-service training for Education professionals on the process of school inclusion of students with disabilities and/or special educational needs, and a deepening of theoretical-methodological procedures that favor teaching-learning processes that respect the different rhythms and styles of learning that characterize the human psyche. In this way, the school psychologist can contribute with knowledge about human development, learning processes, defend in their praxis the accessibility and equity of programmatic curricular contents, and collaborate with an inclusive education.

Financial infidelity (FI) comprises actions aimed at financial issues in the context of romantic relationships, such as omitting or deceiving about bank accounts, debts, loans, expenses, etc., which can lead to some difficulties in couple and family life: conflicts, loss of trust and divorce. It is a theme that, despite the impact it can have on personal, loving, family, financial and social spheres, still deserves more attention from researchers and requires further studies for a better understanding and direction. In this context, the thesis is anchored to the Theory of Social Representations (SRT), in order to know and access the network of senses and meanings attributed to FI by married individuals, in a stable union or cohabitation, which will enable the construction of a knowledge practical and multifaceted theme. Thus, the following thesis aimed to understand the psychosocial aspects of FI in this population. Its structure is divided into two parts: the first consisting of two theoretical chapters and the second consisting of four studies. Study 1 comprises the review of national and international scientific production, published between 2013 and 2023. Seven articles were selected, analyzed by Descending Hierarchical Classification (CHD), Word Cloud and Similitude Analysis, using the Iramuteq software. The results indicated the recent character of the productions on the subject, most of a quantitative nature, with a main focus on the definition and identification of characteristic behaviors of FI, highlighting the need for a psychometric instrument adapted and validated for the brazilian context. Study 2 corresponds to the adaptation and validation of the Financial Infidelity Scale for the Brazilian context, which resulted in a unidimensional measure with adequate psychometric parameters. Two studies were carried out. In the first, 202 married individuals, in a stable or cohabiting relationship, aged between 18 and 58 years (M = 32.22; SD = 8.89) participated, whose data were analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis and Response Theory to the Item (TRI); in turn, in the second study, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed, in which 311 married people, in a stable union and in cohabitation, aged between 18 and 60 years old (M = 31.9; SD = 8.12) participated. And, finally, Study 3, which is under development, and aims to apprehend the Social Representations (SR) of married people, in a stable union and cohabitation based on three evocative words (money, finances and financial infidelity). The study included 83 married people, in a stable relationship or cohabitation, aged between 21 and 74 years (M = 37.66; SD = 8.98), who answered the Free Word Association Technique (TALP), a semi-structured interview and the Sociodemographic Questionnaire. TALP evocations were processed by TriDeux-Mots and interpreted by Correspondence Factor Analysis; interviews using ALCESTE software and analyzed by CHD; and sociodemographic data by SPSS (version 21). The results showed that the three TALP stimuli (finance, money and financial infidelity) are represented in a multifaceted way through psycho-affective, affective-behavioral, psychosocial and sociocultural anchorages, in an elaborated and socially shared knowledge. In turn, the analysis of the interviews, through the Descending Hierarchical Classification (CHD), enabled the formation of three classes: Financial control as a predictive factor for FI, Financial organization and dream fulfillment, and the impact of FI on the quality of the relationship. The results obtained in this study point to the practical knowledge of the SR of the addressed theme, which can contribute to the elaboration of educational, financial and clinical actions and interventions that affect the relationships and social behavior of individuals. This time, it is expected to offer the scientific community greater knowledge about a construct little explored nationally, what has been studied and how it is addressed in the literature, a validated measure for the Brazilian context with good adjustment indices so that it is possible to verify possible implications of personal, social and sociodemographic variables in explaining FI, and individuals' knowledge about the subject. In short, we trust that the objectives are being achieved and that this work contributes to Social Psychology, especially in explaining opinions and behaviors that reflect on family, financial and social dynamics, and on the relationships of trust necessary for a good relationship between peers and in society. It is hoped that the results of this thesis will help planning effective educational, financial, clinical and social practices for this population and their dependents, given that the financial implications in the couple's life can have repercussions on the relationship, family and social life.

This dissertation addresses the performance of teachers and school psychologists from the municipal public network of João Pessoa-PB during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic presented itself as a crisis in Brazil and in the world, causing social distancing and the consequent closure of school institutions, having a clear impact on the continuity of early childhood education. In this sense, the objective is to investigate and analyze practices of teachers and psychologists during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to map actions regarding the transition from remote teaching to blended and face-to-face teaching. This question was initially explored through the explanation of the cultural-historical theoretical framework and contemporary arguments about development transitions. Within the scope of the study, the theme of the COVID-19 pandemic was presented and discussed, and its implications for the school context, and a bibliographical survey was described on the professional practices of School Psychology during the pandemic. A qualitative field research was carried out, with a semi-structured interview applied to 22 participants, 11 teachers and 11 school psychologists from municipal schools in João Pessoa. The sociodemographic results indicate that most psychology professionals had an internship in the clinical area, and that most psychologists completed their graduation in public educational institutions and before the 2000s. The results of the analyzes of the interviews with the teachers indicate pedagogical demands generated during the pandemic, caused by the lack of access to technology or the lack of presence in the online classroom by students, difficulty in handling technology to create content for students or even doubts about what this return to face-to-face would look like. However, they also reveal practical reformulations to deal more adequately with the return to the physical space of institutions. In the interviews with the psychologists, actions aimed mainly at teachers, technicians, students and families were identified. These professionals perceived this return to the classroom as an ongoing readaptation, at the same time referring to the school space of power, readaptations and guarantee of rights. This research reaffirms the role of the school psychologist as a professional who can promote understanding of the reality and complexity of events related to the pandemic, as well as adapt the pedagogical team to a new practice and actions that value active and collective construction.

Abstract: Suicide is a multifaceted phenomenon that affects all social strata. Considered a serious global public health problem. Suicidal ideation is the initial suicidal behavior, which, if not properly managed, can culminate in a fatal outcome. The multi-causal character of this phenomenon makes several branches of scientific knowledge such as psychology, history, sociology, philosophy, science of religions, psychiatry, biology, collective health, public security, among others, to focus on this theme in an attempt to understand, explain and prevent it. In Brazil, suicide among public security agents has drawn attention, professionals who in the exercise of their work are constantly confronted with accidents, tragedies and disasters, which involve violence, suffering, death and risk to their own lives. In this dissertation, suicide and suicidal ideation were investigated with public security professionals in the state of Paraiba through the Theory of Social Representations (TRS), where it was possible to access the network of interpretations and meanings, shared by these social actors, who built practical and multifaceted knowledge on the subject. Thus, this dissertation aimed to identify the social representations related to suicide and suicidal ideation in public safety professionals. Structurally, it was divided into two parts, the first consisting of theoretical chapters and the second consisting of three empirical studies guided by TRS. 277 professionals participated in the study, who answered the sociodemographic questionnaire and other instruments according to the objectives of each study. The first study aimed to apprehend the semantic fields regarding the inducing stimuli: suicide, suicidal ideation, my profession and myself. The sample consisted of 178 professionals, including military firefighters (40%), military police (46%) and civil police (14%), 48% of the sample aged between 18 and 28 years. Data were collected through the Free Word Association Technique (TALP), processed by Microsoft Excel and Tri-Deux-Mots and interpreted by Factor Correspondence Analysis (CFA). The results indicated consensual representations between suicide, suicidal ideation, associated with negative aspects. The profession brought ambiguous elements that expressed satisfaction and illness. The stimulus myself was associated with positive elements. The second study aimed to identify which psychosocial factors are related to suicide and suicidal ideation in the view of public safety professionals. 228 professionals made up the sample, 175 men and 53 women, including military firefighters (45%), military police (44%) and civil police (10%), 44% of the sample aged between 29 and 39 years. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, processed by Microsoft Excel and Alceste software and analyzed by descending hierarchical classification (CHD) and word cloud. The following axes of meaning emerged: suicide risk factors, suicide prevention measures and self-protection strategies against suicide. The results made it possible to highlight the factors that would lead to suicidal ideation and suicide, with emphasis on the anchoring in the professional field, Factors for prevention, anchored in psychological science and spirituality, and also factors of self-protection against suicide, anchored in the field psychosocial, psychoaffective and spiritual. The third study aimed to evaluate the level of suicidal ideation of public safety professionals. The study sample consisted of 277 professionals, 214 men and 63 women, including military firefighters (44%), military police (44%) and civil police (12%), 43% of the sample aged between 29 and 39 years. They responded to the Multi-Attitudinal Suicide Tendency Scale (EMATS). Data were processed using SPSS software, version 22. The results show that there was no significant difference between professions or between genders, with the general sample having a mild level of suicidal ideation. However, in a detailed analysis, some professionals showed a high level of suicidal ideation. Finally, it is expected that the results of this dissertation will help public security managers in the planning and implementation of public policies aimed at the mental health of professionals in this segment.

SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF TEACHERS AND UNIVERSITY
STUDENTS ABOUT EMERGENCY REMOTE EDUCATION

Mostrar Resumen
-
Emergency remote teaching is a teaching modality that was
implemented by educational institutions worldwide, in response to the Covid-19
pandemic, to continue teaching and learning activities. At this juncture, we
sought the theoretical contribution of the Theory of Social Representations -
TRS, to explain how teachers and university students learned knowledge about
the social environment, as well as the impacts that affected the way people
thought, acted, and related during remote teaching. The aim of the study was to
learn about the meanings and senses of university teachers and students about
emergency remote teaching in the context of Covid-19. The thesis was divided
into two parts one theoretical and the other composed of empirical studies. In
the first part is the introduction, followed by two theoretical chapters. The first
chapter is titled, contextualization of the object of study and the second is
focused on the theoretical contribution of social representations. The second
part contains three empirical studies on the theme. The first study, entitled,
What do college professors and students think after remote teaching: a
psychosociological analysis, aimed at knowing the social representations
elaborated by the same participants, however, the data analysis occurred in the
Alceste software, by the Descending Hierarchical Classification - HDC
technique. The results pointed out that teachers and students developed
adaptation strategies, anchored, in the psychosocial sphere, constructing the
objectifications in the terms necessity and maintenance of teaching. As for the
elements, future and hybrid, the anchoring occurred in a macro-structural
sphere. Students perceived remote classes in a technological and ambivalent
sphere, objectifying both for usability difficulties and digital tools and for the
novelty of the modality. Study two, entitled, Emergency remote teaching: social
representations for university teachers and students in the Covid-19 pandemic,
aimed to apprehend the social representations elaborated by these participants
about emergency remote teaching. The study sample was composed of 147
teachers and 130 college students who answered the Free Association of
Words Technique - TALP, by the inductive stimuli, remote teaching and hybrid
teaching, besides the sociodemographic questionnaire. The SPSS software
(version 21.0) and the Correspondence Factor Analysis by means of Tri-Deux-
Mots were used to analyze the data. The results for remote teaching pointed
out that teachers, evaluative-valuative manifestations emerged according to the
emergent character of the phenomenon and the affective-behavioral dimension,
by facing the new. In the hybrid stimulus, besides the previous anchorages,
manifestations also emerged in the sociocultural sphere, related to
technological and methodological innovation. The students also anchored the
remote teaching in an evaluative-valuative and affective-behavioral way, as well
as in the hybrid teaching brought repercussions to the teaching-learning
process. Study three, entitled Academic satisfaction of college students during
emergency remote teaching, aimed to measure students' satisfaction during
their experience with remote teaching, by means of the Scale of Academic
Satisfaction of College Students - ESAU. A total of 208 college students from
private higher education institutions in the state of Paraíba - PB were studied.
The results revealed a balance between the general scores of satisfaction and
dissatisfaction among the students. The lowest levels of dissatisfaction were
related to the perceptions of the pedagogical environment, affective perceptions
and self-esteem. The highest levels were identified in perceptions of the
physical environment. It is recommended that educational institutions consider
the unsatisfactory incidents to improve the educational process when adopting
online or hybrid methodologies in their programs. Moreover, remote teaching
was an emergency and temporary strategy, and the need arose for didactic-
methodological organization to overcome the difficulties faced throughout the
process, when elements emerge that are close and/or concomitantly present in
both participants, such as challenge, difficulty, adaptation, and need. Moreover,
it is necessary to strengthen the support to teachers and students, especially on
the psychosocial and technological issues, so that they can increase the gains
obtained throughout the process, as revealed by the elements important,
flexibility, practical, and new. Moreover, it is believed that the results of this
thesis can also contribute to the implementation of the hybrid modality,
indicated in all studies as a positive experience by teachers and students, and
emerges as an innovation to be widely consolidated in the future in higher
education institutions as a teaching offer, ensuring more curricular flexibility and
learning opportunities differentiated by the use of technological resources and
tools.

Psychosocial Mechanisms of Favorability towards Lynching: Moral Judgment, Empathy, and Motivations for Lynching.

Mostrar Resumen
-
Lynching, a form of collective violence targeting individuals or groups accused of violating social norms, is a pressing issue in Brazil, with at least one occurrence reported daily. This alarming situation presents a significant challenge to public security entities, infringes upon human rights, and undermines peaceful societal existence. However, there is a notable lack of attention to the factors influencing societal favorability towards lynching. The current thesis aims to illuminate this issue by devising and testing an explanatory model of the psychosocial mechanisms underpinning favorability towards lynching. This model incorporates variables such as moral judgment, empathy, social and emotional motivations for lynching, and the type of crime committed, whether heinous or against property. The thesis is segmented into three empirical articles detailing the results of five conducted studies. The first article outlines two studies focused on the development and validation of the Attitudes towards Lynching Scale (EAL). The first study, involving 428 participants, demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties, suggesting a bifactorial structure of the EAL (crimes against property and heinous crimes). This structure was further corroborated in the second study with 481 participants. The second article presents two additional studies dedicated to the development and validation of the Motivations for Lynching Scale (EML). Study 1, with 454 participants, validates the bifactorial structure of the EML (social and emotional motivations for lynching) via psychometric adequacy, while study 2, with 455 participants, indicates that the two factors are likely replicable in subsequent studies. The third article outlines the results of testing an explanatory model of the psychosocial mechanisms of favorability towards lynching. The sample comprised 536 Brazilian individuals, ranging in age from 18 to 71 years (M = 34.4; SD = 11.82). Structural equation modeling outcomes revealed that the degree of moral judgment significantly influenced favorability toward lynching in the context of heinous crimes, mediated by both social (b = .469, SE = .099, p = .001) and emotional motivations (b = .169, SE = .071, p = .017) for lynching. In contrast, the moral judgment's influence on favorability toward lynching in response to property-related offenses was mediated by social motivations (b = .876, SE = .092, p = .001), but not emotional motivations (b = .028, SE = .058, p = .625). Empathy did not moderate the influence of moral judgment in any of the lists of motivations according to the types of crime.These results may support interventions that consider the multifactorial nature of favorability to lynching, with the promotion of post-conventional justice thinking as a strategy for its reduction.

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) refers to conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and/or the musculature involved in the masticatory process. Its etiology is multifactorial, controversial and not yet fully understood. Individuals with TMD present several alterations caused by excessive forces, parafunctional habits, inflammatory processes, degenerative morphological alterations, infectious processes, genetic, psychological and anatomical factors. In this context, we sought to study the theme through the Theory of Social Representations (TSR), which made it possible to access the network of senses and meanings, shared by university students of dentistry, building a practical and multifaceted knowledge on the theme. In this direction, the following thesis aimed to know the psychosocial aspects interrelated to the impact of temporomandibular disorders on the quality of life of dental students. Structurally, it was divided into two parts, the first consisting of theoretical chapters and the second consisting of three articles. In the first article, there was a review of the scientific production supported by the Theory of Social Representations (TRS), about Quality of Life and Temporomandibular Disorders. The sample consisted of 11 articles, analyzed by Descending Hierarchical Classification (CHD) and Similitude Analysis, using Iramuteq. The results indicated the representative psychosocial aspects of falling ill. Pain was the figurative element of objectification, anchored by psycho-emotional factors. recent nature of the productions on the theme, with a main focus on health issues. The other two empirical studies were guided by TRS. The first empirical study analyzed and apprehended the Social Representations (SR) of dental students about temporomandibular disorders. The study included 352 Dentistry students aged between 18 and 35 years (M= 25,68; DP= 11,6), who answered a biosociodemographic questionnaire and an in-depth interview. The collected material constituted a textual corpus, which was submitted to the analysis of Descending Hierarchical Classification (CHD) and Similitude, using the ALCESTE and IRAMUTEQ software, sociodemographic data using SPSS (version 21), in addition to having been processed in and analyzed using descriptive statistics and lexical analysis. It was observed that the participants pointed out in their social representations, knowledge about temporomandibular disorders, highlighting the diagnosis, e.g. treatment were also anchored in physiological and emotional factors, which were permeated by negative emotions. The participants ratified notions of responsibilities, focused on the consequences of the disease, such as the daily maintenance of palliative treatment, understanding that it is a chronic disease that needs to be lived with, as it has no cure. The results point to the importance of an interdisciplinary approach that focuses on psychosociological support, aimed at the elaboration of strategies that can be adopted in the face of the control and care of temporomandibular disorders. The second empirical study aimed to know the SR on a psychosociological look at temporomandibular disorders from the perspective of dentistry students. Data were processed by SPSS (version 21) and Tri-deux-mots software. Highlighting the importance of knowledge of the subject about the impact of temporomandibular disorders on the quality of life of dental students. It is noteworthy that the SR on the impact of temporomandibular disorders on the quality of life of dental students acquired different facets. its applicability and suggesting the consequences of future research and interventions.

This thesis addresses the role of the school psychologist in a team of specialists of public schools in the municipality of João Pessoa (PB) and argues that the school psychologist can collaborate with actions that promote development and learning with the various actors that make up the school community. It aims to know and analyze conceptions of the team of specialists of the municipal public school system of João Pessoa-PB about the work of school psychologists and their respective actions with the team and the school group. The thesis defends that the work of school psychologists in a team of specialists has specificities that must be understood by the team itself and by the school group in order to facilitate a performance focused on the institutional demands and on the learning and development processes. For that, a socio-demographic survey was carried out with 62 school psychologists who work in the Elementary School I, II, and EJA, through an online questionnaire (Google forms), a semi-structured interview with 44 professionals, being 14 psychologists, eight social workers and 22 pedagogues, and reflective interviews with three psychologists who had answered the two instruments already mentioned. The results indicated that most of the professionals did not have a supervised internship in the area of School Psychology, which indicated an impact on the performance in the educational context, given the importance of the relationship between the professional training profile and the performance in the team. The data collected in both types of interviews demonstrated the necessary demarcation of the school psychologist's role for a practice consistent with the literature in the field of Educational School Psychology that supports an actuation in the educational context and, mainly, in the actuation as a member of a team of specialists. It was verified in the interviewed psychologists' reports that the specialists still expect a traditional performance from psychologists, based on a clinical perspective, focused on the student. That there are many actions they develop, with diverse objectives, which further highlights the need for this delimitation. The results also indicated that, among the psychologists, the team of specialists had not been considered as an object of intervention in their practice, in the sense of collaborating with its development, which was considered an important aspect to be the target of further reflection among the professionals. The other specialists (social workers and educators), in their analysis of teamwork, pointed out difficulties, criticisms, complaints, objectives and potentialities that characterize the work in this format, demonstrating the existence of issues that can be the focus of the school psychologist, to contribute to the development of the team of specialists. These data endorse the need for the school psychologist to perform a practice that seeks to promote reflections on the various issues involving the team of specialists and the team of specialists.

Mostrar Resumen

Transsexuality is a relevant topic for psychology studies because it is a current subject that needs a look at the recognition and affirmation of this gender identity. It is understood that transsexuality is characterized from the field of sexual and gender diversity, however, for a long time it was present in the main diagnostic and classificatory health manuals, being treated as a mental disorder. Therefore, the pathologization of transsexual identities is understood as a manifestation of prejudice against this population. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the social representations that university students have about transsexuality considering the levels of prejudice identified by this group. The Theory of Social Representations was used as a theoretical contribution to this study, which enables the recognition of the subjective dimension of individuals, as well as their cognitive aspects, which in turn interfere in attitudes, social practices and behaviors about the object represented. It Consists of a descriptive research and mixed approach, applied online with students from public and private university institutions in Brazil, with a total of 200 participants, who had a mean age of 26 years (SD = 8.88) and a predominant age group of 18 to 23 years, mostly residents, in the Northeast region of Brazil, identified largely as cisgender women. In addition, most recognize their sexuality as heterosexual. The most predominant area of knowledge among the participants is the Humanities, being a large part, university students of public institutions attending between the 7th and the 10th period of graduation. The instruments used were: Sociodemographic questionnaire, analyzed through simple frequency calculation; the Technique of Free Association of Words, analyzed with the aid of the program Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires (IRaMuTeQ); the Revised Scale of Prejudice Against Sexual and Gender Diversity (EPDSG-R); and the closed questions about transsexuality, analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics through the SPSS. In addition, open-ended questions were also used, which were analyzed through a Bardin Themed-Categorical Analysis. The EPDSG-R results indicated low levels of prejudice against transsexuality by the study participants, with a variant between 1.27 and 1.63, and variant standard deviation between 0.605 and 1.143. It was found that the students who participated in this study, in their majority, apprehend the phenomenon with a favorable look at transsexual identities, directing themselves to the recognition of gender identity. In addition, the sensitivity of the participants about the reality of transsexual people is highlighted when, for example, they are able to identify the obstacles that are faced by this community and also when they affirm that there is prejudice coming from society and suffered by this group and mention the repercussions of these difficulties in the social-emotional life of the transsexual individual. In view of the results found, the importance of social changes in our society and the encouragement of spaces of representation for transsexual people is considered as a relevant factor in the construction of social representations for individuals. It is believed that the data of this study can contribute to the development of more efficient strategies in the field of mental health and access to citizenship by the transsexual population, in addition to the expansion of spaces of representation, in order to promote the visibility of this group. We also highlight the need to create and maintain public policies that emphasize the guarantee of rights by this population, in order to remedy the psychosocial damage caused to this community.

The literature indicates that studies on forgiveness are directed to contexts of relationships in
the family, between friends, intimate partners and relationship contexts at work. However,
themes that work in everyday social contexts are not so explored by the literature. And, it is
important to point out that injustices can occur in our daily lives regardless of the type and/or
intensity of a relationship, be it, for example, the relationship between a student/teacher, coworkers, neighbors and even strangers. In this sense, this study aimed to analyze the degree of
forgiveness spontaneously offered after offenses suffered in everyday life and carried out a field
research, quantitative and qualitative, of the descriptive and correlational type. 359 people
participated in the study, 273 (76%) women and 86 (24%) men, selected through nonprobabilistic convenience sampling. For data collection, carried out both online and in person,
the following were used: sociodemographic questionnaire, injustice questionnaire, Anger
Expression Inventory (STAXI), State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Enright
Forgiveness Scale (EFI). For the analysis, the data were received in an excel spreadsheet and
then transferred to the IBM 22.0. Considering the sample of people who felt very or
tremendously hurt (hurt > 3), the results indicated that this population forgave more offenses of
racial discrimination and political differences and the hurt was felt more intensely
when the offense was caused by unknown persons or professionals. We also found
that people with hurt > 3 forgive significantly less than people who felt little hurt (hurt < 3). In the correlation, we identified that in the hurt population > 3 there is a relationship
between trait anger and negative affect, trait anger and positive judgment, trait anxiety and
negative behavior, and in the comparison of means between state and trait of anxiety
and state and trait anger of the hurt sample > 3, we noticed that the degrees of anxiety were
significantly higher than the degrees of anger.

The objective of this research is to analyze the role of child rights councils in the policy of the right to live in a family and community environment through the actions of social agents. This is a qualitative and exploratory work, divided into three studies: the first is a systematic literature review, the second is a documental analysis, and the third is a discussion group. Data were analyzed respectively using PRISMA, analytical treatment and Content Analysis. In the systematic review, was observed a significant amount of roles attributed to agents by the recovered works. In the documental analysis, the plans foresaw the division of responsibilities, the family support and the policy control, while the minutes prioritized the discussion on institutional reception and adoptive family. In the discussion group, the participants talked about the arrangements, mobilizations and strategies employed by the agents to implement the policy. The role of the child rights councils in the policy of the right to live in a family environment is exercising social control, promoting the institutional reception and proposing intersectoral actions. These fields are crisscrossed by the criticism of the liberal rhetoric of volunteering, the priority of the affective and social ties and the noise in communication between the State and society.

This dissertation presents three studies in order to know factors associated with the choice of heterosexual partner, considering achievement and sexuality as the main dimensions, including people aged 18 years or older (N = 691). All were convenience samples, with the participation of people who, invited, agreed to collaborate in the studies voluntarily and anonymously. The first study sought to find out to what extent the choice of attributes of achievement and sexuality are associated with human values, bright and dark personality traits and life stories, developing an explanatory model. Participants were 387 people from João Pessoa (PB), who answered the Partner Attributes Scale (PAS), the Basic Values Survey (BVS), the Mini-K (M-K), the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen (DTDD) and the Prosocial Personality Inventory (PSPI+), in addition to demographic questions. Results indicated that the ideal achievement attribute was explained by slow life history, existence value and narcissistic personality trait; in the case of the ideal attribute of sexuality, the value of experimentation replaced that of existence. In this sense, the explanatory models were similar, showing the importance of life strategy, human values and the narcissism trait to explain the partner's ideal attribute. The second study aimed to test the explanatory model elaborated in the previous study, considering an inner city in Paraíba, reflecting a context of economic scarcity and low human development. Participants were 200 people residing in Santa Inês, who will answer the same instruments previously listed. This study confirmed the importance of the slow life strategy, the values of existence (ideal achievement attribute) and experimentation (ideal sexuality attribute), but the most important personality trait was gratitude, which explained both attributes. In the explanatory model, the life strategy, which previously directly influenced the partner's ideal attributes, do it mainly through gratitude. Finally, the third study sought to test whether the explanatory model of partner choice, developed in Study 1 and refined in Study 2, would work when an implicit measure of partner attributes was employed. Participants were 104 people from a public university in João Pessoa (PB), who responded, in addition to the previous instruments (PAS, BVS, M-K, DTDD and PSPI+), the computerized version of the test of implicit association of partner attributes (i.e. , TAI Achievement-Sexuality). Results indicated that only gratitude correlated with the D score (implicit measure); when considering the explicit measures separately, only the achievement value explained the ideal attribute of achievement, while when considering the ideal attribute of sexuality, only the forgiveness trait explained this attribute. In conclusion, the three studies provided an overview of partner choice, showing the importance of personal and social factors for its explanation. These findings were discussed based on the literature, indicating potential limitations of the studies and future directions.

This dissertation aimed to know to what extent personality traits, human values and anxiety explain the phenomenon of pré-crastination. For this, three studies were developed, being structured here in three articles. Article 1, of a theoretical nature, aimed to bring together concepts, definitions and main characteristics, as well as the convergences and divergences with procrastination. In article 2, the elaboration of the Pré-crastination Scale (PE) was proposed, gathering evidence of its validity and psychometric adequacy. In view of this, two studies were carried out, with samples of higher education students, in Study 1, 200 students with a mean age of (Mage = 23.80; SD = 7.9) participated who answered the initial version of the EP, consisting of 25 items and sociodemographic questions. An exploratory factor analysis a three-dimensional structure consisting of 18 items that showed satisfactory internal consistency (ω = 0.85). In study 2, we sought to confirm the structure found in the previous study, thus, 200 students with the average age (Mage = 24.42; SD = 7.67) participated, who answered the EP version with 18 items. Through a confirmatory factor analysis, it was possible to prove the three-dimensional structure: Task anticipation (ω = 0.89) Task management (ω = 0.75) and Feelings towards the task (ω = 0.66) [χ² = 232.658 ; p< 0.001; χ²/gl = 1.76; CFI = 0.92; RMSEA = 0.062 and TLI = 0.91, showing evidence of PE factorability and adequacy. Continuing on, in Article 3, which aimed to explain pré-crastination based on personality traits, human values and anxiety, in a specific way, we sought (1) to know the relationship between pré-crastination, personality traits, values and anxiety and (2) understand the role of personality traits, human values and anxiety in explaining the phenomenon of pré-crastination. For this purpose, 400 higher education students with an average age of (Mage = 23,18; SD = 5.1) were interviewed. The participants answered sociodemographic questions and the following instruments: Pré-crastination Scale (EP), Dark Triad Dirty Dozen (DTDD), Light Triad Scale (LTS), Questionnaire of Basic Values (QVB) and Cognitive Anxiety Scale. The results showed that pré-crastination was correlated with dark and bright personality traits, anxiety and values of existence, achievement, normative, suprapersonal and interactive, making it possible to confirm the hypotheses outlined. In view of the above, it is estimated that the proposed objectives were achieved, with the construction of a measure that gathered psychometric evidence of factor validity and consistency, in addition to contributing to the dissemination and understanding of such a relevant behavioral trend, starting not only from its origins, but also relates to other constructs.

Mostrar Resumen
-
This dissertation was structured in four chapters. In the first chapter, a non-systematized review was presented, explaining the following themes: socialization practices, aggression and the characteristics of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In the second chapter, a review was carried out, whose general objective was to systematically evaluate the bibliographical production, over the last 20 years, on the relationship between parental socialization and aggressive behavior in children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Articles published in the last 20 years were adopted as inclusion criteria, within the chosen theme and with children diagnosed with ASD as a sample; the exclusion criteria were theses, dissertations and duplicate articles. 25 articles were selected for data discussion. The contents found were organized and discussed in three thematic categories: (1) Aggressive Behaviors in people with ASD; (2) Practices adopted by parents in the education of their children diagnosed with ASD; and (3) Parenting Practices and Aggression in Children with Autism. Regarding the first category, it was found that aggressive behaviors could not be considered specific symptoms of ASD, they may exist as a result of other factors such as communication deficits, sensory deficits, behavioral patterns and comorbidities. Regarding the second category, it was possible to notice that the parents used practices of excessive protection and control, and, sometimes, showed fear that the child would grow up and low level of pressure. With specific regard to maternal practices, some studies have shown that mothers have a low level of pressure and rules, demonstrate excessive protection, make little use of Rules and Discipline and use Positive Parenting more. Regarding the third category, it was found that aggressive behaviors were positively correlated with Discipline and Harsh Punishment, and parenting styles (permissive, authoritarian and authoritative) were positively and statistically related to aggressive behaviors. The third chapter consisted of field research, with a correlational design, on maternal socialization techniques and the perception of mothers about the aggressiveness of their children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and in typical development (TD). The general objective of this study was to find out to what extent the socialization practices adopted by mothers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and mothers who had typically developing children were related to their perception of their children's aggressive behavior. For this study, the following hypotheses were elaborated: (a¹) The use of the external control technique by mothers of children with ASD positively predicts the mothers' perception of the aggression attributed to their children; (a²) The use of internal control by mothers of children with ASD negatively predicts the perception of anger attributed to their children; (b¹) Mothers of children with ASD at mild and moderate levels of support use more internal control techniques than mothers of children with severe ASD; (b²) Mothers of children with a severe level of support use more external control techniques than mothers of children with mild and moderate ASD; (c¹) Mothers perceive their sons with ASD to be more aggressive than their daughters with ASD; (d¹) Mothers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder perceive more aggression in their children than mothers with typically developing children; (e¹) Mothers of children with ASD will make more use of external control than mothers with TD; (e²) Mothers of children with TD will make more use of internal control than mothers of children with ASD. Ninety mothers of children diagnosed with ASD were interviewed. The mothers were aged between 26 and 66 years (M= 37.10; SD=7.54) and the children, diagnosed with ASD, were aged between 8 and 10 years and 11 months (M= 8 .93; SD=0.79). Also, there were 46 mothers of typically developing children, aged between 22 and 49 years (M = 33.80; SD=5.74); the children were aged between 7 and 10 years (M = 8.28; SD = 1.10), 19 (41.3%) males and 27 (58.7%) females. For data collection, the following were used: a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Aggression Questionnaire BPAQ Adapted version for mothers and the Socialization Techniques Instrument. In general, it was observed that: the mothers' perception regarding external control was able to predict the perception of physical aggression and anger, these data corroborate the studies by Chaves (2018), Campbell et al. (2010) and Kane and Mazureck (2011). Mothers with children with a more severe level of ASD made little use of explanations and those with mild or moderate children made more use of explanations, which confirms hypothesis b¹ and b². It was also found that girls with ASD showed more anger and hostility than boys with ASD, which differs from studies that found more aggression in boys with ASD and TD (Magalhães & Otta, 1995; Zequinhão 2016; Kaartnen et al., 2012). When comparing the perception of mothers of children with ASD with mothers of children with TD, it was possible to notice a significant difference in the perception of aggression, since mothers of children with ASD perceived more anger than mothers of children with 10 TD, thus, hypothesis d¹ was verified only in relation to the anger factor. When mothers of children with ASD were compared with mothers of children with TD, regarding the perception of the use of practices, it was observed that mothers of children with ASD made less use of internal control than mothers with children with TD , confirming hypothesis e¹, corroborating the study by Chaves (2018). Finally, in the fourth chapter, a general discussion was carried out, based on the empirical studies already carried out.

From the perspective of Critical School Psychology, the practice of the school
psychologist is understood as fundamental in the mediation of the teaching, learning and
development processes in the daily life of the school. By understanding this
contextualized action, it is considered that the events that permeate the social environment
will affect the practice of this professional. In the context experienced in recent years, the
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Brazilian educational system can be
highlighted, the scenario in which this research was carried out. In this sense, with the
suspension of classes and then the transition to the remote teaching model, it was
necessary to reconfigure the work of the school psychologist during this period. This
research aims to understand and analyze the performance of the school psychologist in
face-to-face and remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was, then, a
qualitative research, which had as a sample 25 psychologists from municipal public
schools in the city of João Pessoa (PB). A test instrument with questions related to
sociodemographic, training and professional performance profiles, a panel containing
three drawings that illustrated the school context experienced before and during the
pandemic, and a semi-structured interview script were used as instruments. The
interviews with the psychologists took place in person at the schools where the
professionals were located and were recorded with a cell phone voice recorder, which had
its content literally transcribed for analysis. Through the instruments, used in a
complementary way, reports were obtained that included memories and affections that
said about their practices before and during the pandemic period, which contributed to
the understanding of how these moments of action occurred. In addition, it was possible
to access which resources and tools were used and the challenges faced in working
remotely. Difficulty in accessing technological resources by students is pointed out as
prevalent in the speeches, as well as a bias towards blaming families and the use of clinical
practices at school by a portion of psychologists. In view of the results, a defense of a
contextualized school psychology is made, in which the school psychologist can
contribute to the elaboration and production of institutional actions that value quality
education, through an ethical and conscious work under the conditions of reality. It is
hoped that the study can contribute to new reflections and proposition that stimulate the
construction of knowledge in the field of school psychology.

Childhood depression is a multifaceted mood disorder that encompasses biological, psychological and social aspects. These aspects go beyond the sensation of normal and temporary sadness, it is an organic disturbance that involves several variables. In this context, we sought to study the theme through the Theory of Social Representations (TRS), which enabled access to the network of interpretations and meanings, shared by social actors, building a practical and shared knowledge on the subject. In this sense, the following dissertation aimed to characterize social aspects of the symptomatology of depression in the school context. Structurally, it was divided into two parts, the first consisting of the theoretical chapter and the second consisting of two studies. In the first study, the contextualization of the object of study. The other two empirical studies were guided by the TRS. The first empirical study analyzed the Social Representations (RS) of social actors, based on three evoked words (depression, depressed person and myself). 120 students, aged 8 to 12 years, from private institutions in Campina Grande-PB participated. The participants answered the Sociodemographic Questionnaire and the Free Association of Words Technique. The data were processed by SPSS (version 21) and TriDeux-Mots and interpreted by Correspondence Factor Analysis. It was observed that depression has implications in the social life of social actors, as well as in their quality of life and perceptions of themselves. The second empirical study aimed to know the RS on depression, prepared by children. Thirty students, between 8 and 12 years old, regularly enrolled in elementary school participated. They answered the sociodemographic questionnaire and the semi-structured interview. The data were processed by SPSS (version 21) and TriDeux-Mots and interpreted by Correspondence Factor Analysis. It was observed that depression has implications in the social life of social actors, as well as in their quality of life and perceptions of themselves. The second empirical study aimed to know the RS on depression, prepared by children. Thirty students, between 8 and 12 years old, regularly enrolled in elementary school participated. They answered the sociodemographic questionnaire and the semi-structured interview. The data were processed by SPSS (version 21) and software Alceste and Iramuteq, and analyzed by CHD, Word Cloud. Two main axes of meaning emerged: "Self-perception and social relations" and "Depression as a psychological disease. In them motherhood was marked by the loss of psychosocial bonds between mother-child. Being a mother was objectified as synonymous with suffering, uncertainty and guilt for the absence of maternal care and separation of children and family members. In this way, the shared representations and elaborated by the students, in the construction of meanings of the depressive picture can subsidize the development of preventive practices in the school context.

This dissertation addresses the performance of teachers and school psychologists from the municipal public network of João Pessoa-PB during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic presented itself as a crisis in Brazil and in the world, causing social distancing and the consequent closure of school institutions, having a clear impact on the continuity of early childhood education. In this sense, the objective is to investigate and analyze practices of teachers and psychologists during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to map actions regarding the transition from remote teaching to blended and face-to-face teaching. This question was initially explored through the explanation of the cultural-historical theoretical framework and contemporary arguments about development transitions. Within the scope of the study, the theme of the COVID-19 pandemic was presented and discussed, and its implications for the school context, and a bibliographical survey was described on the professional practices of School Psychology during the pandemic. A qualitative field research was carried out, with a semi-structured interview applied to 22 participants, 11 teachers and 11 school psychologists from municipal schools in João Pessoa. The sociodemographic results indicate that most psychology professionals had an internship in the clinical area, and that most psychologists completed their graduation in public educational institutions and before the 2000s. The results of the analyzes of the interviews with the teachers indicate pedagogical demands generated during the pandemic, caused by the lack of access to technology or the lack of presence in the online classroom by students, difficulty in handling technology to create content for students or even doubts about what this return to face-to-face would look like. However, they also reveal practical reformulations to deal more adequately with the return to the physical space of institutions. In the interviews with the psychologists, actions aimed mainly at teachers, technicians, students and families were identified. These professionals perceived this return to the classroom as an ongoing readaptation, at the same time referring to the school space of power, readaptations and guarantee of rights. This research reaffirms the role of the school psychologist as a professional who can promote understanding of the reality and complexity of events related to the pandemic, as well as adapt the pedagogical team to a new practice and actions that value active and collective construction.

This dissertation aimed to verify the pattern of relationships between emotional exhaustion, personality traits and human values. For this, two (2) studies were carried out in article format. Article 1 aimed to gather psychometric evidence of the measure Escala de Cansancio Emocional (ECE) in Brazil, and two (2) studies were carried out. In Study 1, 275 university students from Paraíba (Age = 22.49) participated, who answered the ECE and demographic questions. Exploratory factor analysis suggested a one-dimensional solution with adequate reliability, Cronbach's alpha (α) and McDonald's omega (ω) equal to 0.90. In Study 2, 223 university students from Piauí (Age = 21.65) participated. Confirmatory factor analysis showed adequate indicators (CFI = 0.99; TLI = 0.98; RMSEA = 0.05), with satisfactory reliability (α= 0.88) and (ω = 0.91) and unidimensional structure of the Study 1. In short, the studies provide a short measure of 10 items (SCE), which assess emotional fatigue globally with psychometric evidence for Brazil, which may be useful for researchers interested in the subject and its correlates. Article 2 aimed to test the mediating role of human values in the relationship between personality traits and emotional fatigue in university students. A sample of 350 university students (Mage = 23.81; SD = 6.69) from the Northeast region of Brazil was used, 68.6% of whom were female. Participants answered the Basic Values Questionnaire (QVB), the Big Five Personality Factors Inventory (ICGFP), the Emotional Stress Scale (ECE) and sociodemographic questions. Descriptive statistics, correlations, regressions were performed and a mediation model was tested. The mediation model tested showed that the achievement subfunction did not mediate the relationship between the personality trait neuroticism and emotional fatigue, indicating that people with strong traits of neuroticism tend to be tired. Thus, it is concluded that personality traits and human values contribute to the explanation of emotional fatigue, as well as they can help professionals in designing strategies that favor the development of skills in order to minimize the effects of emotional fatigue.

With the advancement of discussions and public policies around gender equity and the
fight against various forms of sexual discrimination, this research sought to investigate to
what extent adherence to the belief in precarious masculinity and ambivalent sexism
influences the taking of a position in relation to normative and counter-normative
situations related to the sexual division of gender roles. Four experimental scenarios were
elaborated addressing a child's choice of toy and the father's decision to buy it. It was
characterized as quasi-experimental research, with design 2 (child gender, male or
female) X 2 (type of toy, car or doll). A total of 303 university students with a mean age
of 24.1 years (SD=5.62) participated, almost half of whom declared themselves racially
white and mostly from the middle class. The participants answered the scales of
Ambivalent Sexism and Conceptions of Masculinity, as well as open questions justifying
their perception. Using SPSS, statistical analyses of correlation, hierarchical regression,
univariate analysis (ANOVA) and PROCESS were performed to test the explanatory
model of mediation. The IRAMUTEQ software was used for Descending Hierarchical
Classification and Correspondence Factor Analysis procedures. The results show that,
being moderated by the emotional restraint factor of Masculinity and adherence to Total
Sexism, the scenarios are good predictors of the perception of the father's attitude. The
justifications of the participants about the social judgment given to the child and the father
presented heterogeneous classes ranging from the recognition of gender roles as well as
the deconstruction of such conceptions.

This thesis aims to analyze the processes of stigmatization, attribution of causality and resilience by family members of people in chemical dependence. A cross-sectional, exploratory and descriptive study was conducted, with quantitative design and non-probabilistic (convenience) and dependent (the same sample for all studies), accounting for 111 participants aged between 18 and 70 years, most of them female, married with high schooling. The collection took place via online electronic form, according to the resolutions of the Current Ethics Council and stored on the internet server. The results were organized into four articles. The first article aimed to identify the causes attributed by the family member to the chemical dependence of the family member, considering their location/internality (internal or external to the individual), stability (stable/instable) and controllability. Based on the Attributeal Model of Action (Weiner, 1972), he used the Locus Scale of Parental Control in Health. The results indicated instability (detoxification treatment + relapse) for 52% of the chemical dependents being attributed external control location, in this case to the field of medicine, specifically to the hospital, physician and psychiatrist or to fatalism. The second article aimed to identify the perception of the stigma suffered, as well as interpersonal rejection linked to stigma due to a chemicaldependent family member. Based on Goffman's studies (1988), the Perceived Stigma Scale (Soares, 2011) was used as an instrument. The results indicate the presence of moderate internalized stigma, with the highest means and correlation in the factors Stereotype Approval followed by Resistance to Stigma. No statistically significant difference was found between the perception of stigma in relation to the typification of the psychoactive substance. Thus, it is confirmed that the perception of stigma directed at their group of belonging results in negative self-perceptions when taking for themselves the stereotypes and social stigmas about the chemical dependent family member. The third article, based on the Model of Resilience, Stress, Adjustment and Family Adaptation (McCubbin & McCubbin, 1993), aimed to verify the capacity of family resilience considering coherence, flexibility, involvement and social support. The Resilience, Stress, Adjustment and Family Adaptation Questionnaire was used, which allowed the evaluation of how the family responds to stress and crisis situations. The fourth article aimed to verify the correlation between the variables related to Attribution of Causality, Perception of Stigma and the factors of Family Resilience. For this purpose, descriptive and multivariate statistics were used to correlate and analyze the variables identified in previous studies. It is expected to contribute to the construction of therapeutic interventions from the perspective of the family of the chemical addict.

Exposure to positive LGBTQ+ media significantly influences attitude change towards the community, on the other hand, exposure to negative media can increase LGBTphobia. Given this, this work aimed to create and validate the Scales of Attitudes towards LGBTQ+ and Exposure to LGBTQ+ Media, as well as to understand how these are associated with LGBTphobia and personal variables. Three studies were carried out: a systematic literature review, a development and validation study of the two instruments, and a last correlational one. In the end, the results of Study 1 indicate that there are changes in attitudes towards the LGBTQ+ public from exposure to LGBTQ+ media. Study 2 gathered psychometric evidence of the measures developed in the study, presenting the following results: Study 2.1 pointed to a two-factor organization of the Negative Media Exposure Scale (Media with Negative Portraits, α = 0.82 and Media with Positive Portraits , α = 0.80) and a single-factor organization of the LGBTQ+ Media Attitudes Scale (α = 0.91 ). Study 2.2 corroborated these factorial structures, presenting satisfactory fit indices (Mean Exposure: CFI = 0.97, TLI = 0.97, GFI = 0.97, SRMR = 0.07, RMSEA = 0.07 | 90% CI 0.06 - 0.09 | Attitudes: CFI = 1.00, TLI = 1.02, GFI = 0.99, SRMR = 0.01, RMSEA = 0.01 | 90% CI 0.01 - 0.02 ), the discrimination indices of the Exposure scale ranged from 0.54 (Item 5) to 2.11 (Item 6) and those of the Attitudes scale ranged from 1.98 to 5.22, considered very high. Finally, Study 3 found a correlation between negative media representation and attitudes (r = 0.34, p < 0.01), moderated by sexual orientation [b = 0.62, (95% CI = 0.27 - 0.97), t = 3.52, p < 0.01]. Through the scales, we can observe that there is still a predominance of media representation focused on negative aspects, such as victimization and discrimination.

This research protocol has the general objective of verifying which personality traits (Big Five and dark) and human values can explain cyberstalking behavior. For that, four studies were proposed, corresponding to four different articles. The first article sought to adapt, gathering psychometric evidence from the Intimate Partner Cyberstalking Scale (IPCS) in a Brazilian context. In two studies (N = 467), the psychometric parameters of the IPCS were evaluated using different techniques (e.g., Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Item Response Theory), in addition to proposing a short version of the scale. Both versions had a reliable one-dimensional structure and had similar correlations with machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism. Second article aimed to adapt the Assessment of Sadistic Personality (ASP) for Brazil, investigating the psychometric qualities of the instrument. Two studies with participants from different Brazilian states have been conducted. Study 1 (N = 242), the ASP was adapted, and an exploratory factor analysis was performed, which suggested a unifactorial structure. Study 2 (N = 225), the confirmatory factor analysis indicated adequate indicators and satisfactory reliability, in addition to athering evidence of convergent validity of ASP with the Dark Triad and the = cyberstalking. Third article certainly verifies the predictive power of personality traits, controlling for the gender variable, in cyberstalking perpetration behaviors. 267 people from different Brazilian states participated (M = 22.83). IPCS, Big Five Personality Factors Inventory and sociodemographic questions were applied. Results assessed, through hierarchical multiple regression, that the neuroticism personality trait explained the perpetration behavior of cyberstalking and that the gender variable did not influence this relationship; however, it demonstrated that people with high levels of emotional instability can exhibit cyberstalking perpetration behaviors. Fourth article aimed know the extent which human values could mediate the relationship between dark personality and the perpetrator behavior of cyberstalking in intimate relationships. 316 people from different Brazilian regions participated (M = 26.92). These are mostly women (57.9%), dating (42.1%) or married (24.1%), who answered the instruments: IPCS, Dark Triad Dirty Dozen, Assessment of Sadistic Personality, the Questionnaire of Basic Values and socio-demographic issues. Correlations and regressions made it possible to test a mediation model, which indicated that personal values were mediators (partial mediation) of the relationship between narcissism and the perpetrator behavior of cyberstalking. Importance of the dark traits of the dark personality (narcissism) in explaining cyberstalking in intimate relationships is reinforced, and it is worth considering the inclusion of personal values (experimentation) to expand the monological network associated with this conduct, aiming to systematically understand its causes and consequences.

The work seeks to carry out an analysis of the process of inclusion of people with disabilities (PwD) in the labor market. At first, we carried out a literature review of articles with the descriptors: disability and work. Using two databases of articles, Scielo (Scientific Electronic Library Online) and Pepsic (Electronic Journals in Psychology), we searched the manuscripts. Then, we apply filters in the search, such as: articles between 2008 and 2020, scientific journals with topics on psychology, health, education and society; articles available in full; in Portuguese and national journals. At the end of the research and with the selected articles, we used bibliometric analysis of the data in order to extract information about the articles in the last 12 years (2008 to 2020). Then, we seek to understand the role of the mediating institution in the entry of PwD in the market, from semi-structured interviews with professionals in a specialized institution in João Pessoa. Finally, in a third moment, we interviewed people with disabilities and used the technique of instruction to double with the objective of knowing the work of these individuals, as well as evaluating the extent to which inclusion has been happening or not in practice. This work is justified by the low representation of individuals with disabilities in the market and the lack of equal opportunities. Currently in Brazil, according to the IBGE (2010), only 1% of the population that has some type of disability has a formal job, even with laws that seek to equalize the chances of being hired, such as the Brazilian Law of Inclusion (nº 13.146, 2015). The results pointed to: (1) the breadth of support from mediating institutions in the service of inclusion of people with disabilities in the labor market encompasses the technological, educational, medical, institutional, legal scope, and goes far beyond contact with private organizations ; (2) the discrepancy between the high expectations and minimum requirements of companies and the low level of training of candidates with disabilities; (3) deviations from the day-to-day work of people with disabilities; (4) the search for a job is a challenging task for people with disabilities and that the lack of information about their disability and rights makes this process difficult, (5) exclusionary selection processes can restrict entry into the market, (6) organizational environment socially inclusive, but not physically, (7) mostly operational vacancies with little or no possibility of professional advancement. Finally, we understand the influence of prejudice and stigma in the lives of people with disabilities, and because of this, how this individual does not have power in the employee-employer relationship. In addition, the service of including people in the market is a necessity due to the restrictions that the market itself imposes with excluding practices. In addition, there is an emerging demand for studies aimed at structuring expectations between companies and the reality of PwD, as well as discussing and building ways to provide a more inclusive understanding of disability.

Mostrar Resumen
-
This dissertation aims to analyze how professionals who are involved in labor court
actions deal with the relationship between mental disorders and work.
Psychodynamics of labor is the theoretical basis used to analyze this relationship. The
research was structured as follows: first, a review of the relationship between mental
disorder and work from the point of view of the psychodynamics of labor; then, the
treatment of the theme given by professionals who work in labor court actions in four
clippings of procedural documents (initial application, defense, expertise and
sentence) and, finally, the analysis of five concrete cases from each of the geographic
regions of Brazil. The research hypothesis was confirmed in the sense that the lawsuits
have requested from the subjects involved in the process (judges, lawyers, experts)
technical support, not always sufficient, in order to give attention to the singularities
of the relationship between mental disorder and work, since this theme is not ordinary
for most of the subjects involved. Furthermore, judges have been nominating experts
with different backgrounds, such as general physicians, occupational physicians,
psychiatrists, or psychologists, who have taken on the task of producing an expert
report that will serve as support for the decision. That the reports normally produced
are based on theoretical criteria freely chosen by the professional responsible for the
task, without any prior indication in the legal regulations about the methodology of
approach, capable of demonstrating to the parties of the process which elements can
be considered as definers of the disease/work relationship. We propose as an action
that there should be theoretical improvement on the theme, with an interdisciplinary
exchange involving mental health and work, so that individual aspects of the ill
worker can be analyzed, but also the collective experience undergone, in order to
effectively guarantee justice in the lawsuits that are being processed in the labor
courts.

Considering that most studies conducted on succession processes in family businesses are instrumental, since they analyze succession processes as a set of steps, actions and activities, and relegate the subjective dimension between predecessor and successor, it is necessary to deepen the study of the phenomenon of succession bearing in mind this subjective experience and considering the affective, social and domination dimensions that take place in family relationships and that will often be present in family-owned companies. Thus, this investigation had as its main objective the understanding of the subjective experience of the predecessor and the successor during the succession process in small family businesses. For this research, the psychodynamics of work was chosen as a theoretical framework. Regarding the methodology, an interpretive paradigm and a qualitative approach were used, using thematic oral history as the method of data collection. The participants of this investigation were ten business owners (predecessors and successors) of five small companies located in the city of João Pessoa PB (Brazil) who have already gone through the process of business succession and met the following criteria: the company must be family-owned and at least ten years old; the process of business succession must have happened at least two years ago; and the successor must be the predecessor's son or daughter. The data collection tools were two interview scripts, one for the predecessor and another one for the successor. For the analysis of the participants' statements, we chose to use sociological discourse analysis (SDA), which revealed the existence of thematic categories for each of the dimensions studied. The affective dimension revealed love and renunciation, frustration, hurt and forgiveness. The social dimension revealed the meaning of work for predecessors and successors, company and family: "all together and mixed up", and the challenges faced by the predecessor in carrying out the succession. The dimension of domination revealed the conflict between parents and children over the administration of their companies, the lack of recognition of the successor by the predecessor, and the gender prejudice. This study concludes that it is not possible to understand the succession processes in family businesses without considering the subjective experience of predecessors and successors. By adopting a subjective view on studies on family businesses succession, this thesis aimed to make business families able to perceive and overcome the obstacles that often prevent the family and the company from moving forward together.
