“…In this process, it is not the mesogenetic organization, in and of itself, that allows new possibilities along the ontogenetic pathway. Instead, the progression from microgenetic experiencing to meaning-structures reflected on the ontogenetic level is related to the affective-semiotic processes unfolding in the different practices and settings (Wortmeyer & Branco, 2016). To conceptualize the relationship between efforts of overcoming stress and challenges (microgenetic level) and the developmental processes of entering a new educational institution (meso and ontogenetic levels) the following section will discuss these affective semiotic processes.…”

This article proposes an alternative conceptualization of the processes with which new university students try to overcome the challenges and potential stresses experienced in their movement into the university context. Instead of viewing coping efforts as solely directed towards avoiding stress and enhancing well-being, efforts of overcoming difficulties and stress are to be seen in relation to students’ goal-oriented movement towards becoming students at a particular institution and in a particular field of study. By drawing on the concepts of (hyper)generalized affective semiotic fields, and equifinality and bifurcation points, it is suggested that the process of making sense of a difficult situation is related to the dynamics between well-defined short-term goals and ill-defined long-term goals. In this conceptualization, students not only cope with a specific problem in the here-and-now but make sense of the problem while negotiating their unique trajectory towards more distanced imagined educational outcomes.

“…Military socialization traditionally emphasizes the commitment to values like integrity, justice, honor, courage, loyalty, comradeship, duty, discipline, honesty, and many others. Its main purpose is to impact over the affective dimension of service members, favoring the internalization and externalization of values deemed essential to the military profession (Badaró, 2006; Castro, 2004; Janowitz, 1967; Wortmeyer, 2007, 2017; Wortmeyer & Branco, 2016).…”

“…For instance, the geographic location of the Academia Militar das Agulhas Negras has itself a symbolic appeal (Wortmeyer & Branco, 2016). It is close to a high mountain in Brazil – the Agulhas Negras ´ peak – and was intentionally associated with ideals of greatness and stability of the Nation (Castro, 1994).…”

“…It is well known that armed forces around the world have traditionally oriented the socialization processes of its members to build a community of honor (Appiah, 2012), shaping a particular professional identity linked to military values and worldview (Castro, 2004; Janowitz, 1967; Wortmeyer, 2007, 2017). This cultural canalization takes place through several practices, which target different levels of the affective-semiotic regulation of individuals (Wortmeyer & Branco, 2016).…”

In this article, we aim at analyzing, from a cultural psychological approach of semiotic dynamics, institutional practices guided to promote the development of moral values in the military. Along these socialization processes, each subject actively reconstructs the external messages in particular ways, interacting with social suggestions according to preexistent affective-semiotic orientations. Based on a longitudinal qualitative study conducted over three years at the Academia Militar das Agulhas Negras, which graduates the Brazilian Army’s combatant career commissioned officers, we analyze cultural canalization practices used by the military taking into account the affective-semiotic dynamics involved. We also focus the impacts of military socialization on the internalization of the value of Discipline by three subjects in order to illustrate the variability of meaning making and affective bonding in that context. Our goal is to contribute to the understanding of how institutions canalize moral values, while individuals also play an active role in their own development.

With the continuous development of society, the pressure of human beings is increasing, and the problem of psychological counseling for school students is getting more and more serious, which has brought great challenges to the education and management of school students. Universities should cultivate students’ professional ability on knowledge and practical skills; we should pay more attention to their psychological counseling and develop and design a simple and efficient learning environment. It is very necessary to establish a psychological evaluation system for college students. This article is based on the design and application of the mobile education information system for psychological education. It highlights that the current psychological counseling problems in school education are indispensable. To better manage the psychological counseling problems faced by many students, 67% of the students have many psychological problems, and the mental health of students in school education and psychological counseling have become the common concern and urgent problems of all college managers. This paper uses the methods of literature research, behavior interview, and experimental investigation to investigate the complementary relationship between the connotation of education and psychological counseling from the data of the fuzzy integral model of psychological counseling, so as to pay more attention to the students’ mental health problems and make the students grow up healthily. The experimental results of this article show that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the use of mobile education information systems to improve their ability to carry out psychological counseling work.
