“…However, many researchers discussing the links between compliance and competence, or practices that work with competence as a threshold criterion, are critical of this form of definition-in-practice; they argue instead that practitioners need to recognise that children's competence can include having valid alternative views to those of adults (e.g. Schmitt, 2010;Smith, 2012).…”

Recent debates about children’s participation rights, formulated in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, primarily focus on ‘effectiveness’ of implementation. However, children’s participation remains problematic, its limited impact on adult power in decision-making or on the nature of decisions made persists, and implicated in both are reservations about children’s competence as participants. In respect of this, we analysed conceptualisations of competence in 67 articles, published between 2007 and 2017 in six childhood studies journals, in which ‘competence’ and its variations appear in the abstract. Although competence was rarely defined, conceptualisations were wide-ranging, covering competence as skills, as compliance with adult views, and as a trope signalling the field of childhood studies. As a result of our findings, we argue that epistemological clarity is vital for this concept to be useful regarding children’s participation and that attention must be paid to the different kinds of competences relevant for ‘effective’ participation.

“…Here, the discourse of child loyalty merges with a national discourse on loyalty as ethno-cultural belonging (e.g. Schmitt, 2010 ), portraying a child standing between the majority culture and the culture of the parents. While granted particular competences, a child with a cross-cultural upbringing may also experience conflicting loyalties.…”

Amoral, im/moral and dis/loyal: Children’s moral status in child welfare

This article is a discursive examination of children’s status as knowledgeable moral agents within the Swedish child welfare system and in the widely used assessment framework BBIC. Departing from Fricker’s concept of epistemic injustice, three discursive positions of children’s moral status are identified: amoral, im/moral and dis/loyal. The findings show the undoubtedly moral child as largely missing and children’s agency as diminished, deviant or rendered ambiguous. Epistemic injustice applies particularly to disadvantaged children with difficult experiences who run the risk of being othered, or positioned as reproducing or accommodating to the very same social problems they may be victimised by.

“…Além de ressaltar a necessidade de mais estudos referentes às propriedades da escala, também se aponta como direções futuras de pesquisa em necessidade de pertencimento a avaliação da ENP em diferentes culturas. Alguns estudos já avaliaram como diferentes culturas estão relacionadas a diferentes percepções do que é pertencer e à sensibilidade à exclusão social Schmitt, 2010). Trata-se de um componente determinante para a compreensão de como se estabelecem as relações sociais, sendo a avaliação transcultural de constructos da psicologia social de extrema relevância para a área (Chiu, Chia, & Wan, 2015).…”

ResumoSeres humanos possuem uma necessidade fundamental de pertencer a um grupo. Tal necessidade de pertencimento possui uma dimensão disposicional, de forma que indivíduos diferem quanto à motivação pela procura de conexões sociais e o quanto valorizam ser aceitos pelas outras pessoas. A Escala de Necessidade de Pertencimento (ENP) é um instrumento elaborado para medir tal dimensão individual. O objetivo deste trabalho foi adaptar e produzir evidências de validade da ENP para o contexto brasileiro. Foram realizados dois estudos com amostras independentes. Análises fatoriais exploratórias e confirmatórias apontaram para uma estrutura unifatorial com características psicométricas semelhantes às da escala original, indicando que a ENP pode ser considerada adequada para uso no contexto brasileiro. Em análises de convergência a ENP correlacionou-se positivamente com empatia. Ressalva-se que mais estudos são necessários para a determinação de sua estrutura fatorial, além de pesquisa transcultural sobre a necessidade de pertencimento. Palavras-chave: necessidade de pertencimento, conexão social, avaliação psicológica The Need to Belong Scale: Adaptation and Evidences of Validity AbstractHuman beings have a fundamental need to belong to groups. That need has a dispositional dimension, as individuals differ on how strong is their motivation to search social connections and how much they value being accepted by others. The Need to Belong Scale (NTBS) is an instrument elaborated to measure such individual dimension of the need to belong. The present research aimed to adapt and collect validity evidence for the NTBS to the Brazilian context. The research was composed of two studies with independent samples. Factor analysis, exploratory and confirmatory, pointed to a unifactor solution with psychometric properties similar to the ones of the original scale, indicating that the NTBS may be adequate for use in the Brazilian context. In convergence analysis the NTBS was positive correlated with an empathy measure. We highlight the need for more studies to define the unifactor structure. We also suggest cross-cultural comparisons concerning the need to belong.
