ResumoA Psicologia Evolucionista (PE) é um campo teórico da Psicologia cujo objetivo é entender a natureza humana à luz da perspectiva evolucionista do neodarwinismo. Apesar de ter surgido formalmente na década de 1980, a PE começou a se popularizar no Brasil apenas neste século. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar uma investigação sistemática da produção acadêmica nacional na área até o momento, contrastando-a com a produção internacional no mesmo período. Para tanto, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática de literatura nas bases de dados: Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Banco de Teses da CAPES e PsycINFO. Utilizou-se a palavra-chave "Psicologia Evolucionista", e sua correspondente em inglês, e a busca abrangeu todo o período disponível nas bases até 2010. Os trabalhos nacionais foram classificados de acordo com a temática de estudo e o método empregado, enquanto os internacionais foram apenas contabilizados. Os resultados permitiram constatar que, apesar do crescimento do número de publicações tanto no Brasil como no exterior, ainda são poucos os estudos empíricos na área no país. A predominância, nos estudos nacionais, é de revisões não sistemáticas de literatura e de temas relacionados a aspectos gerais da perspectiva evolucionista. Ressalta-se a necessidade de novos estudos brasileiros, sobretudo investigações empíricas e nas áreas de personalidade e psicopatologia.Palavras-chave: Psicologia Evolucionista, Revisão sistemática, Estudos brasileiros. Evolutionary Psychology: an expanding approach AbstractEvolutionary Psychology (EP) is a broad theoretic field within Psychology that to understand human nature from the standpoint of evolutionary perspective of neo-Darwinism. Although its emergence dates back to the 1980's, EP has developed in Brazil only in this century. The aim of the present study was to review systematically the Brazilian scientific publications related to EP and compare them to the international publications in the same period. Therefore, a systematic review of the literature was carried out on the following databases: Virtual Health Library, CAPES Theses Database, and PsycINFO. Studies containing the keyword "Evolutionary Psychology" or its correspondent version in Portuguese were used. The search was carried out considering studies available on the databases until 2010. Brazilian publications were classified by subject matter and method employed, whereas frequencies by year were computed for international studies. Although results showed a growing number of publications related to EP as a general tendency, there were few empirical studies in the area in Brazil. Non-systematic reviews of the literature and studies on general aspects of the evolutionary approach comprised the major part of Brazilian publications. The need of further empirical studies in the area in Brazil, particularly investigations of issues related to personality and psychopathology, is highlighted.
This study aimed to investigate the maternal role of caring for and rearing 12-month-old babies based on Winnicott´s concepts. Twenty-fi ve primiparous mothers answered interviews about the baby's development and motherhood. Thematic analysis showed that the maternal role of caring for was marked by manifestations of dependence and independence, by the development transitions, and by maternal sensitivity to the signs and rhythm of the baby. Regarding the role of rearing, mothers reported diff erent strategies when they needed to establish the baby´s limits. They also had doubts about the best way to rear the baby, since he/she often opposed the maternal limits. In summary, at 12 months, the specifi city of maternal role was related to the subtle adjustment of the mother to the more active rhythm of the baby, being emotionally available to his/her new discoveries, but also allowing his/her experiences of frustration.
