"This book addresses the psychosocial causes, consequences, and underpinnings of intra-regional migration in Latin America. War, political instability, and disparities in wealth and opportunity have long driven migration within Latin America, and this process shows no sign of slowing. In this book, cross-cultural and social psychologists address the urgent issues that face migrants throughout Central and South America. This includes overt prejudice and discrimination, particularly toward immigrants of indigenous or African-American origin; micro-aggressions; the tendency to positively value fair skin and European surnames; as well as political questions regarding the nature of citizenship and nationhood and links between legacies of colonialism and slavery and present-day inequality. Contributors offer conceptual, theoretical, and methodological tools for understanding the psychological processes that underlie migration and intergroup contact. Chapters focus on migration between and within countries in Central and South America, including Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, and Brazil"--

This volume addresses the psychological impact of interethnic contact and acculturation in Latin American settings, focusing on the effects of acculturation on self-esteem among adolescents. Opening with an account of relevant theoretical and empirical literature on interethnic contact and acculturation, this book represents an acid test of the cross-cultural applicability of theory and method largely derived from research on acculturation to North American and European settings. Much research has focused on acculturation processes among ethnic immigrants and ethnic minorities leading to the i

Este artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre os possíveis determinantes do sucesso escolar entre os indivíduos em posição social de desvantagem. A posição social tornou-se um importante indicador nas pesquisas em sociologia da educação a partir dos anos sessenta, quando diversos estudos nos Estados Unidos e Europa revelaram incontestáveis associações estatísticas entre os níveis de acesso à escola e os grupos sociais (BARBOSA, 2009). Assim, busca-se confrontar os argumentos das teorias do capital humano, teorias reprodutivistas, teorias neoweberianas e pesquisas empíricas realizadas no Brasil sobre as desigualdades perante o ensino, em relação as possibilidades de sucesso escolar em contextos de desvantagem social.

Introduction: This article highlights the Intervention of the Judiciary Power in the face of state omission in guaranteeing the right to health: the judicialization of health, is the theme of this article, resulting from critical dialectical explanatory research applied in Brazilian public health. Objectives: To evaluate the importance and effectiveness of urgent protection in guaranteeing the right to health; To identify the causes that lead to state omission in guaranteeing the right to health; Critically analyzing the judicialization of health; Demystifying the role of the Judiciary in the face of the inertia of federated entities; To relate material theory with practice, in order to present this dichotomy and overcome it. Methods: This is a bibliographic, inductive - deductive research, in order to demonstrate the requirements for granting provisional guardianship, its importance in the health policy scenario, in addition to critically analyzing the judicialization of health in the State of Goiás. Results: Judicialization is still a problem that needs to be reviewed, among the three branches of government, since adverse attitudes towards drug concessions are being unconstitutional, since the Constitution itself provides the powers of each power in the letter of the law, and In this context, what we are experiencing over the years is exactly a reversal of roles, since the responsibility for executing the service and the medication lies with the executive, and the judiciary often fails to exercise its role to play the role of executive power. Conclusion: The right to life, health and the dignity of the human person are closely linked, since in the absence of one, there is no possibility of exercising the others. In this context and to conclude this analysis, according to the sources of the law, it is necessary to define precisely what has more strength in the legal system: principles, laws, jurisprudence, customs. ; Introducción: Este artículo destaca la Intervención del Poder Judicial ante la falta de ...

AbstractThis introduction to the Social Development Quartet summarizes four articles that examine age‐related and contextual shifts in the utility of parents' emotion socialization responses for children's social‐emotional development. The first two articles present evidence for age‐related changes in the benefits of parents' supportive responses and consequences of parents' nonsupportive responses to children's negative emotions between early and middle childhood. The next two articles consider contextual variations in this developmental shift by examining teacher reports of children's competence and family patterns of response among mothers and fathers. Together, these studies question the unilateral assumption that parental support of children's negative emotions is always a good thing, and provide a more nuanced understanding of when and in what contexts parents' responses are adaptive for children.

<p>O presente artigo visa refletir sobre as políticas públicas culturais, pelo viés do <em>soft power, </em>termo cunhado por Joseph Samuel Nye Jr., no intuito de definir a capacidade de influenciar os outros a fazer o que se deseja pela atração, ao invés da coerção, "poder brando". Nesse sentido, a identidade cultural é um dos elemento que compõem o poder brando de um país, uma vez que o <em>soft power</em> possibilita a utilização da produção cultural enquanto elemento de diplomacia e fomento de boas relações externas. Desse modo, será analisado o edital Circula Minas, programa de intercâmbio promovido pelo governo de Minas Gerais, por intermédio da Secretaria de Estado de Cultura, do ano de 2018. Esse edital de fomento a cultura proporciona o estreitamento das relações intencionais, a troca de experiências e a difusão da cultura mineira em diversas áreas.</p>

The present article describes the development of a Modern Biased Information Test (MBIT) inspired by the work published by Donald Campbell in 1950 on indirect measures of prejudice. A biased information test aims to tap individuals' intergroup attitudes from the selective information they use to describe group members. Two biased information tests were developed to measure ethnocentric and androcentric biases, respectively, and applied in four convenience samples of students from two different cultural settings (Costa Rica and the USA). The internal consistency for the accuracy indicators derived from both tests was acceptable and comparable across cultures. In contrast, the internal consistency for ethnocentric biases was adequate across samples and cultures, but the internal consistency for androcentric biases was unacceptable across both cultures. Results are discussed in the line of the usefulness of alternative measures for tapping implicit attitudes.

AbstractTheoretical conceptualizations of emotion understanding generally imply a two‐factor structure comprised of recognition of emotional expressions and understanding emotion‐eliciting situations. We tested this structure in middle childhood and then explored the unique predictive value of various facets of emotion understanding in explaining children's socioemotional competence. Participants were 201 third‐grade children and their mothers. Children completed five different measures, which provided eight distinct indices of emotion understanding. Mothers completed two questionnaires assessing children's socioemotional skills and problems. Results indicated that: (a) emotion understanding in third‐grade children was differentiated into three unique factors: Prototypical Emotion Recognition, Prototypical Emotion Knowledge, and Advanced Emotion Understanding, (b) skills within factors were modestly related, (c) factors varied in complexity, supporting theoretical and empirical models detailing developmental sequencing of skills, and (d) skills in Prototypical Emotion Knowledge were uniquely related to mothers' reports of third‐grade children's socioemotional competence. Implications regarding elementary‐school‐age children's social cognitive development are discussed.

Resumo: Neste artigo, discutimos os saberes e práticas produzidos por um Coletivo feminista de estudantes de Ensino Médio de uma instituição de educação localizada no sul do Brasil. A partir da Teoria das Representações Sociais e dos Estudos Feministas e de Gênero, buscamos entender como o Coletivo se vincula aos conceitos feministas e os coloca em uso ao perseguir seus objetivos. Foi realizada uma pesquisa participante, acompanhando o Coletivo por meio da construção de um diário de campo, de um encontro de sistematização de experiências e de análise documental. Ao analisar o material produzido, organizamos três principais campos culturais: sororidade, corpos e sexualidades, e 'ser' mulher/'ser' feminista. Concluímos que as jovens buscam visibilizar e modificar as relações sociais em seu meio, elaborando saberes feministas particulares, marcados pela busca ativa e pelo conflito.

AbstractParents' supportive reactions to children's negative emotions are thought to promote children's social adjustment. Research heretofore has implicitly assumed that such reactions are equally supportive of children's adjustment across ages. Recent findings challenge this assumption, suggesting that during middle childhood, socialization practices previously understood as supportive may in fact impede children's social adjustment. We explored this possibility in a sample of 203 third‐grade children and their mothers. Using structural equation modeling, we tested associations between mothers' supportive (i.e., problem‐ and emotion‐focused) reactions to children's negative emotions and children's social skills and problems as reported by mothers and teachers. Mothers' supportive reactions predicted greater social adjustment in children as reported by mothers. Inverse associations, however, were found with teachers' reports of children's social adjustment: mothers' supportive reactions predicted fewer socioemotional skills and more problem behaviors. These contrasting patterns suggest potential unperceived costs associated with mothers' supportiveness of children's negative emotions for third‐grade children's social adjustment in school and highlight the importance of considering associations between socialization practices and children's various social contexts. The findings also highlight a need for greater consideration of what supportiveness means across different developmental periods.
