O objetivo do presente trabalho é apresentar o estudo de caso de um participante do grupo de Treino Cognitivo de Controle da Raiva desenvolvido por Lipp. Foi testada a hipótese de que o TCCR reduziria o stress das relações interpessoais e também a reatividade cardiovascular durante momentos de stress. Instrumentos utilizados: Inventário de Expressão de Raiva Traço e Estado - STAXI; Inventário de Sintomas de Stress para Adultos - ISSL; monitor de pressão contínua e de freqüência cardíaca - FINAPRES. Os resultados indicaram diminuição da raiva estado e traço, temperamento e reação, raiva para fora, controle e expressão da raiva; diminuição do percentual de stress e pressão arterial apresentados pelo participante durante as sessões experimentais; diminuição dos comportamentos de raiva e aumento dos comportamentos de ação responsável ao longo das intervenções. Conclui-se que a modificação dos comportamentos alvos do participante indica a efetividade do TCCR para o controle da raiva e do stress.
The present study aimed to investigate the perception of risk in the Brazilian population related to electric and magnetic fields. Six hundred adults were recruited from the surrounding communities. Three hundred of them lived in large cities and an equal number lived in small towns. A short questionnaire was constructed to assess risk perception, trust in government to control risk exposure, level of comfort with exposure to extra-low-frequency electromagnetic fields, measures perceived as necessary to reduce emotional discomfort, and trust in the regulatory agencies. The Lipp Inventory of Stress Symptoms for Adults was applied to assess stress levels. Findings indicate that the majority of the participants in this study did not trust the Government to provide protective measures from exposure to electric and magnetic fields, did not trust the regulatory agencies, felt that there is no adequate risk control and thought about it frequently, and some felt that line installations were being performed in excess and that this should be stopped. Results endorse the need for risk education and indicate that risk perception and feelings should be considered before starting new line installations. Risk communication should incorporate knowledge regarding social cognition since a large proportion of the people were concerned about electric and magnetic fields. Lack of communication can lead to a rejection of necessary transmission line installation, and to unnecessary or exaggerated fear.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
