“…Contudo, estudos recentes indicam a validade deste método em estudos populacionais para fornecer informações confiáveis do estado nutricional da população adulta brasileira (COQUEIRO et al, 2009;SILVEIRA et al, 2005). Além disso, este procedimento tem sido extensivamente utilizado para avaliação do estado nutricional de universitários (BRUNT; RHEE, 2008;HOLM-DENOMA et al, 2008).…”

A imagem corporal (IC) pode ser definida como uma ilustração que se tem na mente acerca do tamanho, da aparência e da forma do corpo, assim como das respostas emocionais a ele associados, sendo que a formação da IC está relacionada ao grau de precisão com que o tamanho do corpo é percebido e ao nível de satisfação ou rejeição corporal (SLADE, 1994). Com base neste conceito, evidencia-se que a IC é um importante componente da identidade pessoal.Pesquisas recentes têm demonstrado que a insatisfação com a IC é observada tanto em indivíduos com transtornos alimentares (LAVOISY et al., 2008;GRILO et al., 2008) quanto em pessoas saudáveis de diferentes estratos da população (ALVES et al., 2008;ARROYO et al., 2008;GONÇALVES et al., 2008;WRENCH;KNAPP, 2008). A prevalência deste fenômeno varia de 17,4% a 82,0% na população brasileira (BOSI et al., 2008;PINHEIRO;GIUGLIANI, 2006) e evidências de pesquisas internacionais indicam que esta prevalência tem aumentado com o passar dos anos (PIMENTA et al., 2009).Os meios de comunicação de massa têm um papel fundamental no estabelecimento de um Motriz, Rio Claro, v.16 n.1 p.78-85, jan./mar. 2010 Body image among university students: association with nutritional status and genderAbstract: The present study investigated the body image (BI) of university students and its association with nutritional status and gender. A total of 874 students (504 men), with a mean age of 20.66 (5.48) years, participated in the study. Self-reported body weight and height were used for the calculation of BMI. Body image was evaluated using the body silhouette scale. Associations were analyzed using the chi-square test, with p<0.05. The prevalence of BI dissatisfaction was 77.6%, with men presenting greater dissatisfaction due to leanness, whereas women reported greater dissatisfaction because of excess weight (X 2 =89.68; p<0.001). An association was observed between BI and nutritional status in both men (X 2 =146.20; p<0.001) and women (X 2 =91.88; p<0.001). The prevalence of BI dissatisfaction was high among the university students studied and was associated with gender and nutritional status.

“…While Borg (1990) found about as many as a third of the teachers surveyed in various studies around the world reported that they regarded teaching as highly-stressful. Stress and negative affect interfere with self-regulation (Holm-Denoma, Joiner, Vohs, & Heatherton, 2008;Keel, Baxter, Heatherton, & Joiner, 2007;Sinha, 2007;Sinha et al, 2008). Self-regulatory failure is a core feature of many social and mental health problems (DeWall et al, 2011;Gruber, Harvey, & Gross, in press;Gyurak, Gross, & Etkin, 2011;Heatherton, 2011;Heatherton & Wagner, 2011;Kober & Ochsner, in press;Williams, Bargh, Nocera, & Gray, 2009).…”

Although there is evidence that teacher emotional intelligence is important for pupil adjustment and learning and for teachers in managing the emotional demands of their work, little is known about the levels of emotional skill of teachers and beginning teachers. Using Mayer and Salovey's emotional intelligence (EI) model and the MSCEIT test of EI, this study investigates how emotionally skilled student teachers are (N = 352). Results show lower than average levels of EI among student teachers, but with important differences between students and across emotional skill areas. The implications of the findings for pre-service teacher education are explored.(postprint version
