Purpose: This study analyzes the influence of diagnostic and interactive use of the performance measurement system (PMS) on job satisfaction and affective organizational commitment. Originality/value: The study provides empirical evidence that contributes to highlighting the contrasting findings in the literature on how the use of PMS influences job satisfaction and the affective organizational commitment of individuals. Design/methodology/approach: A survey was carried out with middlelevel managers of companies featured in the Best Companies to Work For ranking by the Você S/A magazine, where a sample of 167 valid responses was obtained. We applied the structural equation modeling to test the hypotheses. Findings: The results show a direct relationship between the interactive use of PMS and job satisfaction. They also indicate a direct connection between job satisfaction and affective organizational commitment. Furthermore, they show that diagnostic use directly impacts affective organizational commitment, while interactive use indirectly impacts affective organizational commitment by mediating job satisfaction. These results contribute to the literature by revealing that PMS's diagnostic and interactive uses result in different psychological consequences, such as job satisfaction and affective organizational commitment. They also contribute by reinforcing the previous literature regarding the complementarity and interdependence of the dual role of the PMS in the organizational context since the interactive use provides a flexible basis for the performance of activities, and the diagnostic use requires alignment of individual behaviors with organizational standards.

Based on a sample of 34,834 heterosexual couples living in Brazilian metropolitan regions, we verify econometrically the existence of a gender differential in the time spent commuting to work and the role of the division of domestic tasks. We use PNAD data for the period 2011-2015 and estimate Multivariate Ordered Probit models to calculate the probability of an individual choosing a determined commuting time interval. The results indicate that women exhibit shorter commuting times than men. This does not change when we add variables representing socioeconomic characteristics, relative income (typically lower for women), different types of work, age, and the property of the residence. We include the amount of time dedicated to household chores, the division of household responsibilities, and the contribution to the couple’s income (bargaining power). The results indicate that the difference in commuting times between men and women has little to do with gender per se but is strongly related to the social roles represented in the family. The shares of chores and income are always important in defining the commuting time of individuals. Simultaneous equation estimates for the two members of the couples indicate that the effect of the share of household chores on commuting time is more intense for men than for women, which is probably the result of the normative asymmetric division of gender in the responsibility for the home.

Alcohol-related social norms are internalized beliefs regarding the extension and approval of alcohol consumption by social reference groups. Prevention programs based on social norms and behavioral insights are empirical evidence-based approaches that challenge cognitive biases and promote healthy choices by providing actual information of targeted behaviors. These programs, to our knowledge, have not been applied to reduce alcohol use in Latin-America. Objectives: This study examined the effectiveness of a school-based social norms intervention to reduce alcohol use behaviors in high-school adolescents from Cordoba city (Argentina). Ninety-two students (Mean age = 14.18±0.82 years) participated. A 2 (type of school administration: public, private) x 2 (treatment: experimental, control) factorial design was employed. Data collections provided information on actual alcohol consumption, perceived alcohol consumption of classmates and discrepancies (i.e., biases) between both measures. Results: A brief feedback session, which was complemented with the placement of posters inside the classroom, reduced the prevalence and frequency of several alcohol drinking behaviors. These effects were more noticeable in the public than in the private schools. Conclusions: This is, to our knowledge, the first report of a program that applied a social norms strategy to reduce alcohol consumption in high schoolers from South America.

As an unpretentiously Dadaist art object, the diary written by those who frequented the garçonnière kept by Oswald de Andrade in 1918 consists of an inventive bricolage album, interspersing images with writing in a game full of puns. We locate this book-object as an anticipator of the multifaceted lineage of Modernism, through Miss Cyclone, a schoolgirl who defied the social norms of the time, exploring the anthropophagic structure present in O perfeito cozinheiro das almas deste mundo. The enigmatic figure of “Miss Cyclone”, at the same time muse and author of the diary, is also its reason for existence, and vice versa. We only know Cyclone through Oswald de Andrade, but would it be possible to observe and reconstruct Oswald through Cyclone? Studying her implies studying Oswald, but it is also possible to do the opposite. The main source used was the Diário da garçonnière, in addition to letters and biographies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract Based on the social psychology of development, this study investigated whether differences in moral reasoning would imply differences in prejudice, conforming with an egalitarian norm and in the use of moral justifications for the suppression of prejudice. A total of 555 Brazilians participated in this study, the final sample being composed of 500 Brazilians, who answered an online questionnaire with measurements used to assess the variables of interest in the research. Based on descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, the results indicated a relationship between differences in moral judgment and differences in the level of prejudice, in accordance with the egalitarian norm and the use of moral justifications. The results are discussed from the perspective of social psychology and moral development.

The aim of this article is to analyze Ana Plácido's approach to portraying nineteenth-century women, as she designed the female characters in her incomplete work Regina, a novel published in 1868. The article argues that Ana Plácido defied and reinterpreted the nineteenth-century gender norms and social expectations, creating characters that align with the patriarchal society of that era while deploying narrative strategies that deviate from the commonplace values associated with nineteenth-century hegemonic masculinity. The article pursues an analysis arrayed along three argumentative lines: "1. The narrative of innocence," which demonstrates Ana Plácido's pioneering approach in narrating marriage (through female obedience) from the perspective of young girls compelled to marry much older men; "2. Female complicity," which appears to be the central point of the author's opposition to the patriarchal narrative; and "3. The insubordination of tears," which is fundamental to understanding the non-submissiveness of the novel's female characters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The new social rules established by the covid-19 pandemic have pressed an immense contingent of women to their physical and emotional limits. Línguamãe (mothertonge) is a reading and writing workshop about Literature and Motherhood created by two mothers, writers, and expatriated Brazilian women: one in Portugal, the other one in the USA. Both occupying the same territory of extended isolation (the postpartum followed by the pandemic). Although isolated, women, especially women-mothers, even more women-mothers-writers remained together, speaking the same language, because being a mother is a nationality within itself. Reading and writing about motherhood during this dystopian moment does not save them from the difficulties, but invites them to find in Literature a refuge that helps them pass through the storm, safeguarding, creating connections, and serving as an artistic elaboration tool.

It examines the characteristics of information behavior of women victims of domestic violence in relation to social barriers to accessing information. Specifically, it describes the circumstances that encouraged women victims of domestic violence to seek information. The reflections of this research mention the works developed in the area of Information Science by Chatman. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with two professionals from the Centro das Mulheres do Cabo and with four women victims of domestic violence who sought care there. The data obtained were examined in the light of content analysis. The study highlighted the social issues that cross information flows, in addition to the social norms that shape the information behavior of women victims of domestic violence, explained in the naturalization of this cruelty, in the maintenance of secrecy about their information needs and self-protection resources. adopted. Therefore, it can be assumed that these women experience a reality of poverty in information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the study is to understand the psychosocial effects of gender violence in the context of intímate relationships of affection, experienced by university women. The participants were two university women and, as a research technique, it was used the semi-structured interview. The information was analyzed from the content analysis and the process led to the construction of three categories: the participants and the contexts of gender violence experienced - revisiting invisibilities and gender norms; psychosocial effects of gender violence during the intímate relationship of affection; psychosocial effects of gender violence after the end of the intímate relationship of affection. As main analytical considerations, we highlight situations of psychological, sexual, moral, and property violence, experienced during the courtship, social isolation, illness, emotional dependence on the boyfriend, and the trauma of experiencing situations of violence again.

The musical genre designated as "metal", contrary to most popular music genres, highlights religious phenomena within its discourse. Controversy, opposition, and transgression of social norms are entangled in its narrative since its inception. Despite its relatively long history, it had until recently received little attention from social scientists. In this article, we analyze the symbolic context of songs from three subgenres - thrash, death, and black metal - that deal with an unusual subject matter: Islam. We argue that, through a specific attitude regarding the autonomy of the artistic field, the deep, derisive, and scathing critiques of social, political, and religious structures reflect public discourse, becoming an emblematic case for various cultural tensions in contemporary society, as it converges against expectations both from the left and from the right.

This article analyzes the advertisement #reinventeofuturo published by Bradesco bank in april 2020, with the aim of investigating the publicity discourse in times of Covid-19 pandemic in the light of the appraisal system developed by Martin and White (2005). It was verified that the semantic traits of evaluability mapped in the advertisement are predominantly in the semantic region of 'ethics' (Judgment - Social Esteem), which refers to the evaluation of human behavior based on social norms and conventions, configuring strong trend the publicity discourse in times of pandemic in adding semantic load of positive evaluation, whose representation of the institutions occurs through the construction of an altruistic image through practices of solidarity and messages of self-confidence.

This research addresses norms for translating cordel literature into Libras. Cordel texts have characteristic aesthetic elements that should be considered when identifying the norms of the target community. We primarily draw on Toury’s (1995) descriptive approach to translation studies. We also refer to Iphan (2018) on the structure of cordel; Sutton-Spence (2008) on the poetic elements of sign language; and Ribeiro (2020) on strategies for the translation of cordel literature into Libras. We followed a descriptive research methodology, focusing on the norms observed within the deaf target language community and analyzing a translation of a cordel poem from Portuguese carried out by Ribeiro in 2020. We describe the translation norms that use repetition, manipulation, buoys, symmetry, adaptation, and simultaneous use of signs to create rhymes. The study also focuses on the articulation of signs in topographical space and the use of images in multimedia discourse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Violence against women stems from prevailing social norms that make inequalities between men and women common, giving men greater power in relationships. To know the role of the interdisciplinary team in the face of women victims of multiple violence. SCIELO, presenting a total of 319 documents. After applying the inclusion criteria: articles available for free, published in the last 05 years, in Portuguese and English. And exclusion: articles not available in full and not presenting the central theme of the research. A greater number of publications were found between the years 2017 and 2018, in the LILACS and BDENF databases. Most of the research was carried out in Brazil. The findings show that psychological violence was the most prevalent among the studies, also showing that violence against women is suffered at home by partners, husbands, boyfriends and that it is motivated by alcohol, drug use and excessive jealousy. It is concluded that professionals are not yet fully prepared to welcome victims of violence, given the lack of preparation and emotional condition to approach and investigate possible victims of violence who seek the health service, since most victims seek the health service to treat violence problems, but not to report them.

By placing itself in the debate around the foundations of ethics, David Hume develops a conception of morality according to selfless actions and feelings that frequently relate directly to public interest. In this manner, Hume appears as a strong critic of Bernard Mandeville, that would've defended that morality had as its basis a human nature governed only by self-love and vanity. Still, we need to point that both authors seem to be close to what concerns justice origins, and, by extension, society how they know it. That's because both consider that social rules would have appeared from the need for interests satisfaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to analyze the construction of the category "misbehavior" in managerial discourses, considering these discourses as claiming activities that try to persuade about the problematic condition of this behavior in the organizational context and propose intervention and control strategies on this form of deviation. As part of the fieldwork, a qualitative methodology was used, consisting of in-depth interviews and rhetorical analysis of the discourse of nine managers, occupying intermediate positions in different organizations. From this analysis, which privileges the central rhetorical constructs in the process of elaboration, legitimation and transformation of labels of deviation, the research identifies in this rhetoric a set of characteristics that place the individual in opposition to a striking profile in the neoliberal rhetoric of capitalist society. The market appears in this context as the main prognostic figure to adequately punish the deviations of those who fail in the face of the new standards of organizational behavior required.

The study aimed to validate the short version of a subscale of the Gender Equitable Men (GEM) Scale with healthcare university students. The original scale has 24 items and assesses equitable and inequitable gender norm attitudes in intimate relationships. With a sample of 2,249 students in the health area of a university in the central west of Brazil, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed using polychoric correlations with direct Varimax rotation and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using the Structural equation modeling technique. Another 347 students participated in the test-retest stability assessment. The single-factor solution with eight items was satisfactory in the EFA (X2 20=47.733; p<.005; CFI=.988; RMSEA=.025[.016-.034]; SRMR=.045), and in the CFA (RMSEA=.025; CFI=.988; SRMR=.033), obtaining a general Cronbach's a of .99. The final model presented a good fit and there were signs of moderate stability. The GEM short-version subscale presented evidence of validity and reliability, which allows the assessment of gender norms in university educated adults with a reduced number of items.

In this assay, we discuss how the heterosexual gender norms establish specific practices to the experience of drug-abusive women and to the health care directed to them. We analyze how women are subjected to the condition of object in the health practices, mainly based on biopolitical normalization and organized by medicalization device, which focuses less on hearing of the singularities than on the management of the bodies. We conclude affirming the importance of binding as the relational technology for the increasing of the possibilities for singularities understanding, an important basis for a deeper exploration of the women ways of engaging the world, and for the development of strategies for care and preservation in drug use.

In this article, we investigate the way in which debates on sexual and gender diversity have been constructed in schools, and how their construction has shaped the subjectivities produced by the educational environment. LGBTphobia is understood as intimately rooted in Christian, patriarchal, and racist dogmas, which perpetuate, both inside and outside educational institutions, models of subjects, ideals of humanity that end up segregating and marginalizing any bodies that deviate from the proposed norms. Thus, we seek to analyze the performance of these dogmas about gender and sexuality norms in schools, proposing, during the research, resistance, and strategies to combat LGBT-phobic oppression structures within schools.

Having regard to transidentitarian experiences, anchored in the refusal of the binary gender norm, this article intends to discuss the ethical political horizon of a clinic that articulates itself to the idea of a multitude of minorities. In order to do so, it starts with a brief historical consideration of the psychoanalytic appropriation of the so-called transsexuality, indicating a displacement between the figure of the “true transexual”, described by Robert Stoller, and the contemporary forms of gender dissidence. We consider, specially, the emphasis on the diagnostic-etiological model. Finally, we propose the consideration of the psychoanalytic clinic as a field of ethical experimentation, supported by a critical attitude that permanently interrogates the hegemonic forms of subjectivation and social bond.

In this paper, we present a model that relates epistemic practices and socio-scientific issues (SSI) in science education. In order to develop it, we establish interweavings between norms, practices, epistemic objectives, epistemic cognition, informal reasoning, epistemic practices and justified positioning. We suggest that epistemic cognition is the link between reasoning and epistemic practices. We present three epistemic goals that should guide work with epistemic practices when solving a SSI: recognising and using multiple lines of reasoning when solving the SSI, construction and evaluation of holistic arguments aiming to understand the multiple dimensions of the SSI and the development of sceptical investigations to resolve the SSI. The stated objectives contribute to the critical assessment and resolution of the SSI. We believe that for the construction of social norms in teaching environments with SSI, it should be considered that these questions do not require a “single” answer and, therefore, a space for reflection, awareness and justification of the different perspectives on the question must be allowed. The relationships established in this article contribute to research that aims to develop and analyse epistemic practices “in situ” in teaching contexts with SSI. In addition, they have the potential to provide support to teachers who wish to favour the occurrence of epistemic practices in a SSI approach.
