“…Em segundo lugar, elaboramos a hipótese de que o apoio emocional seria o mais frequente tipo de altruísmo percebido, devido à forte valorização da expressividade emocional na cultura brasileira (Fleith, 2002;Graham, 1985). Em terceiro lugar, formulamos a hipótese de que tais experiências ocorreriam com mais frequência entre membros da mesma família, visto que os pesquisadores (Carlo et al, 2007;Koller & Lisboa, 2007;Van Horn & Marques, 2000) vêm consistentemente descrevendo que a cultura brasileira considera a proximidade entre membros da família como uma importante fonte de satisfação com a vida. Em quarto lugar, elaboramos a hipótese de que essas experiências envolveriam mais frequentemente um iniciador mais velho ou de maior status social do que o receptor, compatível com a ênfase cultural brasileira dada ao controle à incerteza e ao poder nas relações sociais (Hofstede, 2001).…”

Esse estudo marca a primeira investigação empírica sobre altruísmo e como foi vivenciada por indivíduos no Brasil. Sessenta brasileiros adultos responderam um questionário onde foram solicitados a lembrar-se de uma experiência em que receberam um ato altruísta de forma inesperada, e a sua relevância. Os relatos foram analisados em cinco categorias: 1) tipo de ato altruísta; 2) idade que tinham; 3) relacionamento entre indivíduo e autor do ato altruísta; 4) relação de gênero entre as partes; e, 5) relação de idade ou relação de status social entre as partes. Experiências envolvendo generosidade financeira foram as mais citadas, seguida daquelas envolvendo apoio emocional. Os atos altruístas ocorreram na fase adulta dos indivíduos e envolveram algum amigo. Os indivíduos vivenciaram o altruísmo vindo de pessoas de seu próprio gênero e mais velhas, ou que possuíam status social mais elevado. Discutimos a relevância desses achados no que concerne ao desenvolvimento da personalidade, bem-estar e futuras áreas de pesquisa.

“…Indeed, Brazilian Portuguese speakers explain 39.9% more than American English speakers when receiving a compliment. Such a contrast can be considered as related to Brazilian cultural boundaries, as Brazil is based on a family-oriented society (Carlo et al, 2007). It is normal for single young adults to live with their parents, which implies the role of obedience and submission to elders, while in America more young adults live on their own, since their economic situation is usually better than in Brazil.…”

This paper reports a study on politeness strategies of Brazilian Portuguese speakers and American English speakers regarding their responses to compliments. The aim of this research is to gain an insight into the politeness characteristics of Brazilian Portuguese speakers by analyzing how Brazilian students react when receiving compliments. It also aims to investigate how politeness from Brazilian Portuguese speakers differs from politeness of American English speakers when receiving compliments. The population for this research consists of 12 students with intermediate and upper-intermediate levels of EFL from the Cooperative de Trabalho Magna, a private school in Brazil. The study followed a descriptive and interpretive qualitative research method, where 133 answers were analyzed and then contrasted with Chen’s (1993) study of politeness strategies between American English and Chinese speakers. This study shows that, unlike American English speakers, Brazilian Portuguese speakers need to justify and give reasons for the compliment received.

“…Familism values a set of normative beliefs that emphasize the centrality of the family unit and stresses the obligations and support that family members owe to both nuclear and extended kin (Sabogal et al, 1987). Carlo, Koller, Raffaelli, and Guzman (2007) pointed out that this type of familial interdependence and collective orientation in culturally diverse families serves as a strength by promoting family characteristics that are adaptive and which enhance optimal success for individuals within many culturally diverse societies.…”

Abstract. BACKGROUND:The persistent patterns of unsatisfactory transition experiences and adult outcomes of culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) youth with disabilities are well documented in existing transition literature. The consequences of these circumstances for this unique population of individuals with disabilities are long term and far reaching, both individually and collectively. Unfortunately, despite many years of transition outcomes research, there is a dearth of literature on effective empirically-based culturally reciprocal transition practices. OBJECTIVE: In this conceptual article, we provide a framework for thinking about how to best plan for and facilitate positive transition outcomes for CLD youth with disabilities who come from families whose value systems differ from those of mainstream American society. Specifically we present a person-family interdependent approach to transition that emphasizes family empowerment, sustainability of transition services, and adaptations to the transition planning process. CONCLUSION: In contrast and in comparison to the more traditional approach to transition that is currently practiced in American public schools, we believe that this person-family interdependent approach, if adopted, may result in better long term transition outcomes for CLD youth with disabilities as well as greater satisfaction of their families with the transition planning process.
