Resumo:  Close to two million people currently work in Brazil’s road transport sector, the country’s leading logistical area. Most are self-employed individuals. The objective of this research project was to garner an understanding of the perceptions that Brazilian truck drivers hold regarding themselves. Eight experienced drivers were interviewed, starting from the question “What is it like being a truck driver in Brazil?”, and their responses were analyzed in accordance with social discourse studies. Five main categories – with specific subdivisions – were identified, relating to motivations to work in this area, contextual elements, and positive, group, and negative self-image. It is concluded that self-stereotypes play an important role in maintaining the situation of disadvantage and precarious working conditions that affect truck drivers.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender a percepção que os caminhoneiros brasileiros têm de si próprios. Oito condutores experientes foram entrevistados a partir da questão “como é ser caminhoneiro no Brasil?” e seus depoimentos foram analisados de acordo com a investigação social de discurso. Cinco categorias principais foram encontradas, com subdivisões específicas, relacionadas com motivações para o trabalho, elementos contextuais, autoimagem positiva, grupal e negativa. Conclui-se que os autoestereótipos exercem importante papel na manutenção da situação de desvantagem e de precárias condições laborais delesNúcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2023-02-14info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/7395Psychological Studies; Vol. 36 (2019): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 36 (2019): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 36 (2019): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPenghttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/7395/4949Copyright (c) 2023 João Carlos MESSIAS, Hector CAVIERES-HIGUERA, Ramon Araújo SILVA, Gabriela Nogueira de Senna FACUNDO, Renata Thurler LESSAhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMESSIAS, João CarlosCAVIERES-HIGUERA, HectorSILVA, Ramon AraújoFACUNDO, Gabriela Nogueira de SennaLESSA, Renata Thurler2023-02-14T16:23:08Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/7395Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2023-02-14T16:23:08Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
