“…Taken together, the literature suggests that there are social and cultural elements of sports participation, and being a member of a sporting group, which are associated with alcohol (Palmer, ). As such, researchers advocate for a focus on how these features of sport life interact to structure drinking among sportspeople (Crocket, ; Palmer, ).…”

Research indicates that university student sportspeople are a high-risk subgroup for hazardous alcohol consumption. Adopting a social identity perspective, we explored the social and psychological processes linking sports participation and alcohol use. Twenty-two individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with UK student sportspeople (male 12, female 10). A deductive thematic analysis identified three core themes: social identification and sports group membership, identity processes in (alcohol) behaviours, and sport context-specific significance of alcohol. Results suggest that the consumptive practices among student sportspeople were strategic activities underpinned by social identity processes, and which served to provide a positive sports experience at the group level. Our findings highlight the interactions between the sport environment, the social structure of sport participation, and the multipurpose function of alcohol in this context. We discuss the implications of these results in support of a social identity approach to sport-related drinking.

“…Pesquisas sobre gratidão que enfocaram tipos de desejos (FREITAS et al, 2016;MERÇON-VARGAS et al, 2016;TUDGE et al, 2015;WANG;WANG;TUDGE, 2015) não investigaram relações com o benfeitor. Entretanto, alguns autores (CROCKET, 2016;TAQUET et al, 2016) afirmaram que atividades hedonistas, por serem prazerosas e imediatistas, são acompanhadas por pessoas familiares, as quais estimulam ainda mais esse tipo de satisfação. A família e os amigos costumam ser os primeiros lembrados ao se fazer uma festa ou ir ao cinema, por exemplo.…”

“…Mesmo que pareça contraditório, as pessoas consideradas mais adequadas para desfrutar de situações imediatistas são indivíduos próximos, como amigos e parentes (CROCKET, 2016;TAQUET et al, 2016). Todavia, embora seja coerente considerar que pessoas familiares são boas companhias para desfrutar de atividades hedonistas, elas não servem apenas para isso.…”

Documents such as the Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN) emphasize the relevance of the moral education. Dealing with virtues in the school environment is important, because it stimulates more genuine relationships between individuals. Gratitude is essential to create, maintain, or strengthen the bonds, creating a cycle of mutual help and support, counterbalancing typical values of contemporary society, such as individualism and hedonism. However, in a relationship of gratitude, it is necessary to investigate, not only the beneficiary's features, but also the benefactor's ones. This study aimed to investigate who are the benefactors mentioned by children and adolescents, and to verify associations between types of benefactor, age, types of wishes and forms of gratitude. Two hundred and eighty-three children and adolescents participated in this research. We used a Portuguese version of The Wishes and Gratitude Survey (WAGS). We performed a content analysis of the answers and, then, descriptive analyzes and chi-square tests with the variables of interest. Most of the young people mentioned close benefactors. This kind of mention was more frequent in children than in adolescents. Types of benefactor related to types of wishes, but not to forms of gratitude. The results contribute to a better understanding of this virtue, which make possible the development of strategies to stimulate students' moral development.

“…In this conceptualisation, pleasure seeking remains confined by time, space and social situation (Measham 2004a;2004b;Szmigin et al 2008) and, in this sense, is neither irrational nor separate from cognitive processes. Sociological analysts of calculated hedonism have also argued that it reflects the turn to consumption as a way of performing pleasure and identity (Brain 2000;Crocket 2014;Featherstone 1982Featherstone , 2007. Measham and Brain's (2005) work, in particular, traces how the emergence of night-time economies --urban zones focused on alcohol consumption and other entertainment --has contributed to a new 'culture of intoxication'.…”

“…Measham and Brain's (2005) work, in particular, traces how the emergence of night-time economies --urban zones focused on alcohol consumption and other entertainment --has contributed to a new 'culture of intoxication'. However, as Crocket (2014) notes, discourses of neoliberalism that responsibilise individuals for problems such as excessive drinking have also become prevalent. These discourses have also influenced analyses of drinking, including the calculated hedonism approach, which position individuals as responsible for managing their own pleasures and risks.…”

In recent years, the concept of 'calculated hedonism' has dominated sociological understandings of young people's drinking practices. However, while contributing some important insights, this conceptualisation has not sufficiently considered the affective and embodied aspects of alcohol consumption. Our analysis explores the meanings and understandings of alcohol consumption among male participants in an eighteen-month study of young adults living in inner-city Melbourne. Data were collected via in-depth, semi-structured interviews and participant observation during drinking events. We draw on Roger Caillois' notion of 'play' to analyse sessional drinking among these men. The four categories of play identified by Calloiscompetition, chance, simulation and vertigowere all present in the accounts of these men's drinking practices. This analysis offers a way of conceptualising men's alcohol consumption in more nuanced ways that acknowledge the affective and embodied aspects of drinking as part of pleasure-seeking.
