Resumo: Studies indicate that children and adolescents at psychosocial risk can be more vulnerable for behavioral problems and their negative consequences during adult years. This study examined associations between the fi ctional adversities of popular comic superheroes, in their pre-super-powered stage and the studied real-life adversities of disadvantaged children.I examined a sample of 20 most infl uential comic superheroes was assembled and an detailed indexing was conducted. It was found that all the most relevant superheroes, in terms of pop culture visibility had a high commonality of shared adversities (e.g., abandonment by family, domestic violence and bullying) with several subgroups of disadvantaged children. This untapped resource has potential for developing psychoeducational interventions, as well as informing public policies that promote resilience among this at-risk population.

Este estudo analisou relações entre adversidades da vida real de crianças desfavorecidas psicossocialmente e as adversidades da vida ficcional de personagens super-heróis, em suas fases pré-super-potência. Uma indexação foi realizada e verificou-se que a maioria dos super-heróis de visibilidade na cultura pop passou por adversidades similares às dos grupos de crianças em risco, tais quais: o abandono da família, violência doméstica e situações de abuso físico ou psicológico. Esse recurso ainda inexplorado apresenta potencial para ser desenvolvido em intervenções psicoeducacionais e para subsidiar políticas públicas para a promoção de resiliência e empoderamento nessa população.Instituto de Psicologia - Universidade de Brasília2017-08-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/revistaptp/article/view/19486Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; V. 33 - Publicação ContinuadaPsicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; V. 33 - Publicação ContinuadaPsicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; V. 33 - Publicação ContinuadaPsicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; V. 33 - Publicação Continuada1806-34460102-3772reponame:Psicologia (Universidade de Brasília.
