Resumo: | Objective: This study's objective was to know Brazilian university students' social representations regarding the influences on adherence to distancing-social isolation during the new coronavirus pandemic. Methods: The research design of this study was qualitative research, guided by the Theory of Social Representations. The students were selected by convenience by the “snowball” sampling method. The environment for access and invitation to participants consisted of groups on social media. Data were collected through an electronic questionnaire prepared by the authors using the Google Forms platform. For analysis, content analysis was used with the aid of the IraMuTeQ software. Results: Seven hundred and ninety-eight Brazilian university students participated, with a mean age of 23.59 years; 71.7% of respondents were female, 28.1% were male, and 0.3% were intersex. As a result, four classes were obtained, organized into two categories, entitled “Reproducing the voice of science: Scientific knowledge as a determinant of conduct” and “Life at home: Risk and fear in everyday life”. Conclusions: It appears that the participants structure their representations based on scientific recommendations and assume the position of reproducing the hegemonic discourse on distancing/social isolation; however, the symbolic elaboration process is marked by the fear of infecting close people and the desire to protect them. |

Métodos: Tratou-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, orientada pela Teoria das Representações Sociais. Os estudantes foram selecionados por conveniência pelo método de amostragem em “bola de neve” em grupos de redes sociais. Os dados foram recolhidos por meio de um questionário eletrônico, elaborado pelos autores, via formulário digital na plataforma Google Forms. Para análise, utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo com o auxílio do software IraMuTeQ. Resultados: Participaram 798 universitários brasileiros, com média de idade igual a 23,59 anos; 71,7% dos respondentes eram do sexo feminino, 28,1% do sexo masculino e 0,3% eram intersexo. Como resultado, obteve-se quatro classes, organizadas em duas categorias, intituladas “Reproduzir a voz da ciência: o conhecimento científico como determinante de condutas” e “A vida em casa: o risco e o medo no quotidiano”. Conclusões: Depreende-se que os participantes estruturam as suas representações a partir das recomendações científicas e assumem a posição de reprodutores do discurso hegemônico sobre o isolamento/distanciamento social. Contudo, o processo de elaboração simbólica é marcado pelo medo de infetar as pessoas próximas e o desejo de protegê-las.Departamento de Investigação & Desenvolvimento do Instituto Superior Miguel Torga2022-09-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdftext/htmltext/xmlhttps://doi.org/10.31211/rpics.2022.8.2.258https://doi.org/10.31211/rpics.2022.8.2.258Portuguese Journal of Behavioral and Social Research; Vol. 8 No. 2 (2022): November; 1–18Revista Portuguesa de Investigação Comportamental e Social; Vol. 8 N.º 2 (2022): Novembro; 1–182183-4938reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/258https://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/258/508https://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/258/533https://rpics.ismt.pt/index.php/ISMT/article/view/258/517Direitos de Autor (c) 2022 Rogério Silva Lima, Roberta Seron Sanches , Paula Daniella de Abreu, Silvana Maria Coelho Leite Fava, Ricardo Alexandre Arcêncio, Murilo César Nascimento (Autor)http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRogério Silva LimaRoberta Seron SanchesPaula Daniella de AbreuSilvana Maria Coelho Leite FavaArcêncio, Ricardo AlexandreNascimento, Murilo César2023-06-01T22:00:12Zoai:ojs.rpics.ismt.pt:article/258Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:39:48.999492Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
