Título: “De tanto ser chamado por um nome, você acaba atendendo por ele”: o consumo de drogas nas trajetórias de vida da juventude rural do cariri paraibano Autor(es): Aleixo, Aleff Silva Orientador: Alberto, Maria de Fatima Pereira Abstract: The Brazilian agrarian issue is known for land concentration, neglect of small producers, and the overexploitation of their labor. The process of modernization of the Brazilian countryside has given rise to new forms of labor exploitation, such as production-based remuneration and the emergence of transient workers, known as "bóias-frias" (migrant farm workers). According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), drug consumption has expanded in rural areas. Literature has indicated that rural youth are more prone to the abusive consumption of psychoactive substances and are the primary target of the growing availability of illicit drugs in these areas, whether through production, trade, or consumption. This scenario points to a transformation of rural areas, increasingly urbanized. Considering drug consumption as part of its connection to the social whole, this research aims to understand how the objective living conditions have shaped drug consumption among rural youth (18 to 24 years old) in the Cariri region of Paraíba. Data were collected through participant observation and in-depth interviews to construct the life trajectories of seven rural youths who are clients of a Regional Level III Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and Other Drugs (CAPS AD III-R) located in the city of Boqueirão-PB. The data obtained are analyzed from the perspective of historical-dialectical materialism, particularly in its contributions to understanding the human-drug relationship as consumption, that is, as embedded in the regularities of the capitalist mode of production, and aimed at composing life trajectories structured through different levels of analysis: first, individually, in their singularity; and then collectively, summarizing common regularities and elements. In this way, it is possible to link social history in motion to the individual life trajectories of this youth, which are permeated by drug consumption. The results demonstrate that this youth, who still hold significant elements of rural identity (mainly cultural and labor-related), face increasingly "urbanized" dilemmas due to the transformations brought about by the dynamics of the local agrarian issue. These dilemmas, summarized into three main axes (Work, School Dropout, and Family and Childhood), represent the conflicting encounter between rurality and urbanity in the locality and population studied, and are the main paths through which problematic consumption of licit and illicit drugs takes hold.; La cuestión agraria brasileña es conocida por la concentración de tierras, el abandono al pequeño productor y la sobreexplotación de su fuerza de trabajo. El proceso de modernización del campo brasileño ha dado lugar a nuevas formas de explotación laboral, como la remuneración por producción y la aparición de trabajadores itinerantes, los llamados "bóias-frias" (trabajadores rurales temporales). Según la Oficina de las Naciones Unidas contra la Droga y el Delito (UNODC), el consumo de drogas se ha expandido en espacios rurales. La literatura ha señalado que los jóvenes rurales tienen mayor propensión a consumir abusivamente sustancias psicoactivas y son el público privilegiado del avance de la oferta de drogas ilícitas en estos espacios, ya sea produciendo, comercializando o consumiendo. Este escenario apunta a una transformación de los espacios rurales, que se urbanizan cada vez más. Considerando el consumo de drogas desde su vinculación con la totalidad social, esta investigación tiene como objetivo principal comprender cómo las condiciones objetivas de vida han conformado el consumo de drogas entre la juventud rural (18 a 24 años) del Cariri Paraibano. Los datos se recopilaron mediante observación participante y entrevistas en profundidad para elaborar las trayectorias de vida de siete jóvenes rurales usuarios de un Centro de Atención Psicosocial para Alcohol y otras Drogas de nivel III Regional (CAPS AD III-R) ubicado en la ciudad de Boqueirão-PB. Los datos obtenidos se analizan desde el materialismo histórico-dialéctico, particularmente en sus aportes para entender la relación humano-drogas como consumo, es decir, como circunscrita a las regularidades del modo de producción capitalista, y dirigidos a componer trayectorias de vida estructuradas a través de diferentes niveles de análisis: primero, de manera individual, en su singularidad; y luego de manera colectiva, resumiendo regularidades y elementos comunes. De esta manera, es posible vincular la historia social en movimiento con las trayectorias de vida individuales de esta juventud, que está permeada por el consumo de drogas. Los resultados muestran que esta juventud, que aún mantiene importantes elementos de pertenencia rural (principalmente culturales y laborales), enfrenta dilemas cada vez más "urbanizados", debido a las transformaciones provocadas por la dinámica de la cuestión agraria local. Estos dilemas, sintetizados en tres ejes principales (Trabajo, Abandono Escolar y Familia e Infancia), representan el encuentro conflictivo entre ruralidad y urbanidad en la localidad y población estudiadas, y son las principales vías a través de las cuales se instala el consumo problemático de drogas lícitas e ilícitas.

Título: Consumo abusivo de cerveja entre jovens no contexto de pós-sindemia de COVID-19: um problema para a Teoria do Comportamento Planejado? Autor(es): Cunha, Balduino Guedes Fernandes da Orientador: Pimentel, Carlos Eduardo Abstract: Ethyl alcohol stands out as one of the most widely consumed psychoactive substances in the world among young adults, especially in the form of fermented beverages (particularly beer) and, to a lesser extent, in the form of distilled beverages (e.g., cachaça, rum, brandy, whiskey, liqueur, gin, vodka, and tequila). Because it is a carcinogenic, immunosuppressive, toxic substance to body cells and tissues, damaging to the brain, teratogenic, mutagenic, a cause of neuropathies and erectile dysfunction, responsible for developing strong physical and psychological dependence, and one of the main causes of preventable mortality worldwide, several studies have converged on the conclusion that, when it comes to the ingestion of alcoholic beverages, no amount is safe, with the damage to the organism increasing proportionally to the amount consumed. Among the patterns of use, those related to intense/excessive/heavy and/or problematic/abusive consumption are considered the most harmful and damaging from a health perspective (individual and collective), generating significantly deleterious and costly social, educational, occupational, and economic impacts for the individual (and those social groups directly linked to them) and for society as a whole. In this context, the main objective of this thesis was to verify the suitability of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in predicting and explaining beer consumption (regular or problematic) among young people aged 18 to 24, by examining the contribution of the attitudinal, normative and control factors of the model. Three studies were conducted. Study 1 consisted of a narrative review of the literature on harmful alcohol/beer consumption and the Theory of Planned Behavior. Study 2 focused on identifying Critical Behavioral Beliefs (instrumental and experiential), Normative Beliefs (injunctive and descriptive), and Control Beliefs (facilitating and hindering aspects) in a sample of 55 young people who both drank and did not drink beer. Finally, Study 3 empirically tested the TPB – using Pearson's r correlations, Hierarchical Regressions, and Mediation Analysis with the aid of IBM SPSS Statistics and JASP – in a final sample of 118 participants who also drank or did not drink beer. All empirical studies were previously submitted to Brazil Platform/National Health Council and approved by the Research Ethics Committee/Health Sciences Center/Federal University of Paraíba. The results of E01 indicated a considerable prevalence of regular alcohol consumption, including problematic drinking (binge drinking), especially among young men, with a trend of increasing consumption among women, partly resulting from encouragement from marketing and social media focusing on the profile of young female drinkers. In the research undertaken using the Theory of Planned Behavior, Behavioral and Control Beliefs, as well as Attitudes and Perceived Behavioral Controls, played a more predominant role in the Intention to consume beer, notably among women. Regarding the results of E02, young people expressed 1,282 beliefs about drinking beer, including 524 behavioral beliefs [40.9%; 305 instrumental beliefs (e.g., “socialization”, “fun”, “becoming an addiction”, and “health problems”) and 219 experiential beliefs (e.g., “joy”, “pleasure”, “sadness”, and “loneliness”)], 495 normative beliefs [38.6%; 249 injunctive beliefs (e.g., “my friends” and “my family”) and 246 descriptive beliefs (e.g., “young people” and “religious people”)] and 263 control beliefs [20.5%; 140 facilitating beliefs (e.g., “parties” and “need for socialization”) and 123 hindering beliefs (e.g., “health problems” and “presence of family members”)]. Finally, the results of E03 pointed to a low consumption of beer among the young people surveyed, highlighting Attitude as a predominant variable for understanding the Intention, and also the Behavior, of engaging in beer consumption. Perceived Behavioral Control and Subjective Norm showed modest contributions, which most likely reflect the context and culture involved in the act of consuming alcohol in general, and beer in particular. Finally, some directions for future studies were suggested, including the investigation of factors such as “implicit identity” and “habits” on the behavioral intention of young people to consume beer.

Título: "O bagulho ficou doido": as (re)xistências juvenis no sistema socioeducativo Autor(es): Mendes, Mayara Ellen Morais de Oliveira Orientador: Alberto, Maria de Fatima Pereira Abstract: The reality of adolescents and youngs deprived of their liberty in Brazilian juvenile detention centers is marked not only by the violation of rights in the present, but also by a history of various types of violence prior to detention. In this sense, rebellions are events that permeate the daily life of the units. The concept of resistance is used to analyze the rebellions as social movements of youth with whom the law comes into conflict, in a confrontation with the contradictions of capitalist society. It also talks about the juvenile experiences in the contexts of development from the perspective of Vygotsky's Cultural-Historical Psychology to understand how these forms of violence occur in social relations, being internalized and starting to guide the development. In light of this, the general objective of this research is to analyze the rebellions that take place in detention units for adolescents and young people who come into conflict with the law, under the assumption that they are forms of expressions and reactions to domination. To reach the objectives, a qualitative research was carried out, composed of a documental research and open interviews with social actors that are part of the Socioeducation Policy in Paraíba, Brazil. For analysis we proceeded with the Constant Comparative Analysis made with the support of the MaxQDA Software. The results inform that the rebellions occur in the form of a process and taking place in a context of daily and incessant violations, being motivated by various elements such as power relations, feelings of revolt against reality and the desire for freedom. They give rise to experiences determined by the domination of juvenile affections, that are considered inadequate. Thus, the analyses indicate that rebellions are movements of juvenile resistance against the experience of a context of violations of rights and domination of their affections, which, when reaching the limit of the unbearable, culminate in acts of revolt against oppressive structures.

Título: Impactos distais e proximais da mídia de super-heróis na agressividade e pró-sociabilidade Autor(es): Santos, Isabella Leandra Silva Orientador: Pimentel, Carlos Eduardo Abstract: Superhero media (SMM) portrays characters that serve as examples of the “ideal” human being, defending ideals such as helping and justice. On the other hand, SMM is an example of prosocial violent media, where aggression is used as a means of help. In this sense, how does the combination of positive and negative elements impact the audience? Thus, this research aimed to investigate the impacts of SMM on aggressive and prosocial behavior. To achieve this, a series of ten theoretical, correlational, experimental, and intervention studies were developed. In summary, positive impacts of SMM consumption on aggression and pro-social behavior were observed, replicated in both the correlational and experimental studies. Specifically, different moderators and mediators affect the probability of distinct consequences: when SMM impacts the state of empathy and the moral justification of violence, positive indirect effects on prosocial behavior are observed; on the other hand, aggression intention moderates the relationship between SMM consumption and this behavior. Finally, the intervention studies showed that, when focused on helping rather than violence, SMM are an effective tool in promoting positive behaviors among adolescents and young adults. In summary, these results indicate that the impacts of SMM are complex and require further investigation. This research contributes to the topic through data collected using diverse methods, as well as the development of multiple instruments and three intervention protocols, which showed favorable results regarding the use of SMM in promoting prosocial behavior and empathy.
