(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2022-03-02) Ferreira, Layana Giselly Silva; Orlandi, Fabiana de Souza; https://lattes.cnpq.br/7395879552721664; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9014776276894471
Coronavirus Diseases 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) and has as main symptoms fever, tiredness and dry cough. With high transmissibility, dizzying increase in the number of cases and clinical severity, it is impossible to disregard its psychological effects, such as anxiety. In this context, the use of instruments that measure anxiety related to COVID-19 is relevant, in a reliable and valid way. Chandu et al. (2020) constructed the COVID-19 Anxiety Scale (CAS) in India and Riad et al. (2020) developed the COVID-19 Induced Anxiety Scale (CIAS) in the Czech Republic, both to measure COVID-19-related anxiety. The translation and cultural adaptation of CAS and CIAS for use in Brazil is important, since it will contribute to the future instrumentalization of health professionals in clinical practice and research. The objective of this study was to carry out the translation and cultural adaptation of CAS and CIAS to Brazil. This is a cross-sectional and methodological study, which followed the initial translation stages, translation synthesis, back translation, review by an expert committee and pre-test. All ethical precepts will be respected. The initial translation stage of CAS and CIAS, from English to Brazilian Portuguese, was performed by two independent translators. Then, the consensual version of the scales was established, which were translated back into the original language by a third translator. Subsequently, the revision of the versions of the CAS and CIAS was carried out by a committee composed of eight experts, who carefully analyzed all items of the scales, adapting two items of the CAS and three items of the CIAS, obtained the pre-final version of the scales that in Brazilian Portuguese received the name of Anxiety Scale of COVID-19 and Anxiety Scale Induced by COVID-19. Then, the pre-test was carried out with 47 people, the majority being female (63.8%), of mixed ethnicity (48.9%), single (55.3%), Catholic (42.4%), with mean age and schooling of 33.53 years and 10.76 years, respectively. The percentage of anxious participants related to COVID-19 was (51.1%) and (40.4%), according to the COVID-19 Anxiety Scale and the COVID-19 Induced Anxiety Scale, respectively. The respondents considered the scales clear and understandable. Therefore, it is concluded that the Brazilian version of the CAS and the CIAS is translated and culturally adapted to the Brazilian context. It is expected to develop in the future the analysis of the psychometric properties of the scales, in order to make them available for use in Brazil.
Relação entre comportamento governado por regras e indicadores de depressão em estudantes universitárias
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2022-03-02) Basaglia, Marina Aoki; Reis, Maria de Jesus Dutra; https://lattes.cnpq.br/8868678989340770; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9138713538429865
A verbal instruction that describes a contingency is considered, for Behavior Analysis, as a rule, which can exert control over a person's behavior. A rule can be followed for different reasons, that is, different variables can control rule-governed behavior. When someone behaves according to what is described by the rule, depending on the described consequence, it is tracking. On the other hand, when someone behaves in accordance with the rule due to the issuer of the rule (that is, under control of social consequences), it is pliance. Behavior learned from following rules has the advantage of being acquired more quickly than being solely under the control of contingencies. However, it is not always possible to get reinforcement by following a rule. The imbalance between rule-following behavior can generate a series of avertive events, which may be related to depression. Considering that the data presented in the literature on the relationship between rule-following behavior and depression are still inconsistent, the aim of this study is to verify whether the severity of depression symptoms can influence the likelihood of rule-following behavior even if they become inconsistent, as well as possible variables that may interact with symptoms and affect the probability of following rules, even if discrepant. 17 female university students participated in this study. To verify the possibility of depressive symptoms, the PROMIS II Depression was used. 8 participants had high indicators of depressive symptoms, and 9 participants had low indicators. Participants were further divided into tracking, pliance with monitoring and pliance without monitoring groups. The experiment consisted of a task that used the PsychoPy software, and took place remotely. When starting the task, each participant was instructed to choose, among two figures that appeared on the screen, a figure equal to the model if a green circle appeared, or a different figure if a red circle appeared. Each correct answer was signaled with an addition of points on the scoreboard that appeared on the screen and with the sound of clapping. Incorrect answers were signaled with the sound of a horn and withdrawal of points. The task was divided into Pre-Training, Phase 1 of Training and Phase 2 of Training, the latter being divided into 4 blocks of 20 attempts each, without signaling that there was a block change. The second and fourth blocks had contrary contingencies in relation to the instruction provided at the beginning of the experiment. The results pointed to a tendency for participants with high indicators of depression symptoms to change their response when the rule stopped working. It was also observed that in the pliance condition these participants changed their response more quickly compared to the tracking condition, which may indicate a possible control exercised by the social agent.
Desafios metodológicos em pesquisa no Instagram durante a pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2022-03-02) Vasques, Eduardo Gomes; Melo, Teresa Mary Pires de Castro; https://lattes.cnpq.br/0960053614310334; Martins, Dalton Lopes; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3774617443225038; https://lattes.cnpq.br/4212595593860090
The emergence and exponential growth of a new virus with deadly potential around the world caused a series of changes in the forms of relationship between people and in the perspectives they have of the world. The coronavirus pandemic led public and private institutions to encourage physical and social isolation, a movement that amplified the adoption of information and communication technologies from March 2020 in Brazil. In this context, our proposal emerged to analyze the exposure of individuals within this specific relational scenario of a platform: Instagram. In the deepening and immersion in the subject, however, new discoveries provoked a displacement in the investigation route and presented a new way to develop the research. Especially regarding the methodological aspects used to carry out studies on this platform. For this reason, we started to address the technical and legal challenges imposed that put the collection and processing of data in these platforms in check from many obstacles that come up, still in ethical and regulatory characteristics. We found many obstacles, such as barriers imposed by the terms of use of the platform, as well as inconsistencies or gaps in the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) that either make it unfeasible or compromise the integrity of the investigation due to information governance aspects. We also propose a roadmap that can help researchers of digital social networks in general and not just Instagram.
