Ensinar a ler: Progressos da psicologia no século XXI Maria Regina
Maluf, Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo, Brasil
Coordenador/Chair/Coordinador
Resumo
A Ciência da Leitura constituiu-se nos últimos 30 anos, incorpora
contribuições da Psicologia Cognitiva e das Neurociências e tem
muito a dizer sobre como ensinar a ler. Algumas crianças aprendem
rapidamente na escola enquanto que outras não conseguem aprender
apesar de anos de escolarização. Decodificação, ortografia,
fluência e compreensão são desafios com que os aprendizes se
deparam. O que essas habilidades têm a ver com os métodos de
ensino, com o sistema de escrita, ou com algo inerente à criança?
Debates em torno dessas questões ocuparam grande parte do século
vinte e ainda estão presentes em nossos meios. Embora não se tenha
uma resposta definitiva, há evidências que mostram o que ajuda e o
que não ajuda, e o porquê. A Ciência da Leitura está permitindo
compreender como o cérebro humano funciona quando exposto à leitura
e insiste no papel preponderante da instrução fônica nos processos
de aprendizagem.
Abstract
The Science of Reading was formed in the last 30 years,
incorporates contributions from Cognitive Psychology and
Neuroscience and has much to say about how to teach reading. Some
children quickly learn in school while others cannot learn in spite
of years of schooling. Decoding, spelling, fluency and
comprehension are challenges that learners face. What these skills
have to do with teaching methods, the writing system, or something
inherent to the child? Debates about these issues occupied much of
the twentieth century and are still present in our media. Although
no definitive answer, there is evidence to show what helps and what
does not help, and why. The Science of Reading is allowing us to
understand how the human brain works when exposed to reading and
emphasizes the important role of phonics instruction in the
learning process.

Social isolation John Cacioppo, University of Chicago, USA
Coordenador/Chair/Coordinador
Resumo
Espécies sociais, de drosophilia melanogaster ao homo sapiens, se
saem mal quando socialmente isolados. Os seres humanos, uma espécie
com incontáveis decisões, são afetados mais pela percepção de
isolamento social do que pelo isolamento social real. Pesquisas
indicam que o isolamento social percebido (ou seja, a solidão) é um
fator de risco e pode contribuir para perda da saúde e bem- estar,
dormir menos, pior desempenho cognitivo global, o declínio
cognitivo mais rápido, diminuição do funcionamento executivo, a
expressão de genes alterados, e efeitos de contágio que ameaçam a
coesão social. Juntos, estes efeitos contribuem para a associação
entre o isolamento social e mortalidade nos humanos.
Abstract
Social species, from drosophilia melanogaster to homo sapiens, fare
poorly when socially isolated. Humans, an irrepressibly
meaning-making species, are affected in normal circumstances more
by perceived social isolation than by objective social isolation.
Research indicates that perceived social isolation (i.e.,
loneliness) is a risk factor for, and may contribute to, poor
health and well-being, less salubrious sleep, poorer overall
cognitive performance, faster cognitive decline, poorer executive
functioning, altered gene expression, and contagion effects that
threaten social cohesion. Together, these effects contribute to the
association between social isolation and mortality in humans.
Resumen
A las especies sociales, desde la drosophila melanogaster hasta el
homo sapiens, les va mal cuando se aíslan socialmente. Los seres
humanos, una especie de irreprimible de toma de decisiones, se ven
afectados en circunstancias normales más por el aislamiento social
percibido que por el aislamiento social objetivo. Las
investigaciones indican que el aislamiento social percibido (por
ejemplo, la soledad) es un factor de riesgo de, y puede contribuir
a, una mala salud y bienestar, menos sueño saludable, un peor
rendimiento cognitivo general, una disminución cognitiva más
rápida, un pobre funcionamiento ejecutivo, una expresión genética
alterada, y los efectos contagiosos que amenazan la cohesión
social. Juntos, estos efectos contribuyen a la asociación entre el
aislamiento social y la mortalidad en los seres humanos.

Linking social change and developmental change: Shifting pathways
of human development Patricia Greenfield, Sponsored by IACCP,
University of California and IACCP, EUA
Coordenador/Chair/Coordinador
Resumo
A nova teoria da mudança social e do desenvolvimento humano de
Patricia Greenfield tem como objetivo mostrar como a mudança de
ecologias sociodemográficas altera os valores culturais e ambientes
de aprendizagem e, assim, altera também as vias de desenvolvimento.
Tendências sócio demográficas em todo o mundo incluem o movimento
rural-residência, a educação informal em casa, economia de
subsistência, e ambientes de baixa tecnologia para residência
urbana, educação formal, comércio e ambientes de alta tecnologia. A
ex-ecologia é resumida pelo termo alemão Gemeinschaft
(“comunidade”) e o último pelo termo alemão Gesellschaft
(“sociedade”, para nnies, 1887/1957). Uma revisão da pesquisa
empírica demonstra que, através de processos adaptativos, o
movimento de qualquer variável ecológica na direção do Gesellschaft
muda os valores culturais em um sentido individualista e em vias de
desenvolvimento em direção a um comportamento social mais
independente e uma cognição mais abstrata, para dar alguns exemplos
de comportamentos miríades que respondem a essas mudanças sócio
demográficas. Em contraste, o movimento (muito menos frequente) de
qualquer variável ecológica numa direcção Gemeinschaft está
previsto para alterar os valores culturais e as vias de
desenvolvimento no sentido oposto. Em conclusão, os ambientes
socioculturais não são estáticos, quer nos países desenvolvidos ou
em desenvolvimento e, portanto, deve ser tratado de forma dinâmica
em pesquisa sobre desenvolvimento.
Abstract
P. M. Greenfield’s new theory of social change and human
development aims to show how changing sociodemographic ecologies
alter cultural values and learning environments and thereby shift
developmental pathways. Worldwide sociodemographic trends include
movement from rural-residence, informal education at home,
subsistence economy, and low-technology environments to urban
residence, formal schooling, commerce, and high-technology
environments. The former ecology is summarized by the German term
Gemeinschaft (“community”) and the latter by the German term
Gesellschaft (“society”; To nnies, 1887/1957). A review of
empirical research demonstrates that, through adaptive processes,
movement of any ecological variable in a Gesellschaft direction
shifts cultural values in an individualistic direction and
developmental pathways toward more independent social behavior and
more abstract cognition—to give a few examples of the myriad
behaviors that respond to these sociodemographic changes. In
contrast, the (much less frequent) movement of any ecological
variable in a Gemeinschaft direction is predicted to move cultural
values and developmental pathways in the opposite direction. In
conclusion, sociocultural environments are not static either in the
developed or the developing world and therefore must be treated
dynamically in developmental research.
Resumen
La nueva teoría del cambio social y el desarrollo humano de
Patricia Greenfield tiene como objetivo mostrar cómo el cambio de
las ecologías sociodemográficas alterar los valores culturales y
los entornos de aprendizaje y por lo tanto altera también el mundo
en desarrollo. Las tendencias demográficas en el mundo Socio

de subsistencia, y los entornos de baja tecnología para la
residencia urbana, la educación formal, el comercio y ambientes de
alta tecnología. El ex ecología se resume con el término alemán
Gemeinschaft (“comunidad”) y el último término por el alemán
Gesellschaft (“sociedad” para nnies, 1887/1957). Una revisión de
investigaciones empíricas muestra que, a través de los procesos de
adaptación, el movimiento de cualquier variable ecológica en la
dirección de la Gesellschaft cambio de los valores culturales en un
sentido individualista y hacia el desarrollo de un comportamiento
social más independiente y la cognición más abstracto, por poner
algunos ejemplos de comportamientos que responden a estos
innumerables sociodemográfica. En contraste, el movimiento (con
mucha menos frecuencia) se espera que cualquier variable ecológica
en una dirección Gemeinschaft para cambiar los valores culturales y
en desarrollo en la dirección opuesta. En conclusión, los entornos
socio-culturales no son estáticos, ya sea en países desarrollados o
en desarrollo, y por lo tanto deben ser tratados de forma dinámica
en la investigación para el desarrollo.

Aportes de la historia de la psicología a la integración y
diversidad en psicología Hugo Klappenbach, Universidad Nacional de
San Luis, CONICET, Argentina
Coordenador/Chair/Coordinador
Resumo
O trabalho começa por analisar o início de processo de
diferenciação teórica no campo da psicologia a partir de uma
perspectiva histórica. Ele vai analisar a primeira declaração de
crise da psicologia no final do século XIX, diferentes as crises
estabelecidas por Kuhn. Em seguida, reconstrói historicamente o
debate teórico sobre o estágio chamado das escolas de psicologia, e
revisitar os estudos clássicos que informaram as diversas
tendências depois de 1925. Subsequentemente, discutir criticamente
alguns a proposta de integração das escolases psicológicos,
incluindo a síntese experimental de comportamento de Ruben Ardila e
a proposta da psicologia unificada de Robert Sternberg e Elena
Grigorenko no início do século XXI.
Abstract
The paper begins with the historical analysis of the early period
of theoretical differentiation in the field of psychology. To this
end, the first declaration of crisis in psychology at the end of 19
th Century is analyzed. Then, the theoretical debate during the so
called stage of schools in psychology will be reconstructed. It
also will be revisited the classic studies that analyzed the
various schools, systems and directions in Psychology after 1925.
Finally, we critically discuss some of the proposals for the
integration of psychological tendencies, among them, the Ruben
Ardila experimental synthesis of behavior and the unified
psychology from Robert and Elena Grigorenko at the beginning of XXI
Century.
Resumen
El trabajo comienza analizando los comienzos del proceso de
diferenciación teórica en el campo de la psicología desde el punto
de vista histórico. Se analizará la primera declaración de crisis
de la psicología a finales del siglo XIX, diferente a las crisis
previstas por Kuhn. Seguidamente, se reconstruirá históricamente el
debate teórico en la denominada etapa de las escuelas de
psicología, revisitando los estudios clásicos que fundamentaron las
diversas corrientes psicológicas posteriores a 1925.
Posteriormente, se discutirán críticamente algunas de las
propuestas de integración de las corrientes psicológicas, entre
ellas la síntesis experimental del comportamiento de Rubén Ardila
hasta la psicología unificada de Robert Sternberg y Elena
Grigorenko al inicio del siglo XXI.

A implementação no México de um programa baseado na agência pessoal
e capacitação intrínseca revela o processo de desconstrução e

Abstract
The implementation in Mexico of a program based on personal agency
and empowerment intrinsic reveals the deconstruction and
construction process for people to become true agents of change
since the acquisition of knowledge and attitudes basic to the
development of new policies for the promotion exclusive
breastfeeding for six months. The development of life skills such
as self-awareness, empathy, expression and emotion management,
assertive communication, critical thinking and decision making, the
acquisition of knowledge and standardized information regarding the
practice of breastfeeding, and reducing psychosocial barriers as
grief, fear, prejudices, resentments and guilt are key to changing
attitudes and behavior in both authorities and health workers, as
in pregnant and breastfeeding women and their families. This has
improved the quality of medical care and independent decision
making, informed and responsible women.
Resumen
La implementación en México de un programa basado en la gestión
personal y el empoderamiento intrínseco, revela el proceso de
deconstrucción y construcción para que las personas sean verdaderos
agentes de cambio desde la adquisición de conocimientos y actitudes
básicas, hasta la elaboración de nuevas políticas públicas para el
fomento de la lactancia materna exclusiva durante seis meses. El
desarrollo de habilidades para la vida como el autoconocimiento, la
empatía, la expresión y el manejo de emociones, la comunicación
asertiva, el pensamiento crítico y la toma de decisiones; la
adquisición de conocimientos e información estandarizada respecto a
la práctica de la lactancia; y la reducción de barreras
psicosociales como la pena, el miedo, los prejuicios, los
resentimientos y la culpa son clave para el cambio de conductas y
actitudes, tanto en las autoridades y personal de salud, como en
las mujeres embarazadas y en lactancia y sus familiares. Esto ha
mejorado la calidad de la atención médica así como la toma de
decisiones autónoma, informada y responsable de las mujeres.

Résumen General
La familia es el eje de la sociedad, muchas de las conductas se
gestan directamente de esta. La familia es la institución encargada
de la socialización, proceso mediante el cual la generación joven
aprende e internaliza ideas, valores, normas y patrones de conducta
que le permiten identificarse e incorporarse a los modos de vida de
la comunidad que lo rodea (Durkheim, 1975). Por lo tanto, en la
familia es en donde el niño internaliza los primeros valores y
patrones de conducta que le permitirán interactuar con otros
miembros de su familia y su comunidad, lo que le servirá para
integrarse a la sociedad de la que forma parte. No obstante,
existen muchos otros grupos que también dan la pauta para
comportarse de una u otra forma, estamos hablando de los amigos.
Así García, Nogueira y Correa plantean que juntos la familia y los
amigos constituyen una red social, la cual sirve de apoyo cuando
las personas migran (Haug, 2003). Por otro lado se ha visto que el
bienestar determina una serie de patrones y que su significado
depende del tiempo y de la situación, propuesta que Velasco,
Rivera, García y Reyes, plasman en su investigación sobre la
conceptuación del bienestar Este fenómeno se refiere al hecho de
que una persona crea (subjetivamente) que su vida es deseable,
placentera y/o buena (Diener, 2009). Por su parte Cruz, Rivera,
Díaz Loving y Taracena plantean la importancia de las
características de personalidad del mexicano, como referente a la
cultura y la forma en que se interpretan estos rasgos; donde los
mexicanos son un conglomerado de características burguesas con
claros tintes nacionalistas y patrióticos que se manifiestan a la
menor provocación en un tendencia festiva similar al relajo
descrito por otros autores; pero que a la vez busca de manera
insistente el anonimato y que el grupo (Castañeda, 2011). Por otra
parte García, Rivera, Reyes y Díaz-Loving, plantean como variables
asociadas a salud mental y variables sociodemográficas determinan
la forma en que se relaciona el conflicto y la familia. Indicando
que la depresión y el paso del tiempo incrementan los conflictos
(Gottman & Levenson, 2000). Finalmente Rivera, Pérez, Velasco,
Díaz Loving y García plantean al familismo como un escudo protector
a la familia ante cambios ya sea por necesidad o por obligación
(Herrera, Rivera & Díaz-Loving, 2010).

Resumo Segundo o IBGE, há cerca de vinte milhões de brasileiros
vivendo em regiões diferentes daquela onde nasceram. O objetivo
deste trabalho foi investigar as relações entre migração interna e
relações interpessoais no Brasil. Participaram da pesquisa 100
brasileiros adultos que estavam vivendo fora de seu estado natal
que responderam a um questionário. Os principais motivos da mudança
foram trabalho, estudo ou relacionamento e família. Os 100
participantes citaram 467 pessoas significativas em suas vidas.
Destas, apenas 35,1% viviam na mesma cidade do participante,
incluindo parceiros românticos, filhos, amigos e família nuclear de
origem. Os dados sugerem que a migração para outro estado provoca o
afastamento de grande parte da rede de pessoas significativas, com
o afastamento da família nuclear de origem com o aumento
proporcional de parceiros românticos, filhos e amigos na rede
local. Pode-se concluir que a migração afeta a rede social de
brasileiros migrantes.
Abstract According to IBGE, more than twenty million Brazilians
live in regions other than that of their birth. The objective of
this study was to investigate the relationship between migration
and interpersonal relations in Brazil. Participants were 100 adult
Brazilians who were living outside their home state who responded
to a questionnaire. The main reasons for moving were work, studies
or relationships and family. The 100 participants cited 467
significant people in their lives. Of these, only 35.1% lived in
the same city of the participant, including romantic partners,
children, friends and other relatives. The data suggest that
migration to another state causes the distancing from a large part
of the network of significant others, especially from the nuclear
family of origin with the proportional increase of romantic
partners, children and friends in the local network. It can be
concluded that migration affects the social network of Brazilian
migrants.

Introduction The relations between friendship and culture are a
complex theme of investigation. There
is a diversity of studies on friendships involving people from
different racial, ethnic, cultural and national backgrounds (Garcia
& Miranda, 2012). Most of these investigations focus on racial,
ethnic, cultural and national groups already established in a
specific country. Although these groups are, at least partially,
the result of spontaneous or forced migratory movements in some
historical period, the investigations rarely deal with the first
generation of migrants. Migration may include national and
international mobility. Friendship and international or internal
migration, involving the first generation of migrants, is still
poorly investigated. A few papers relate human mobility and
friendship, considering international or internal migration,
especially in Brazil and Latin America. The present study
investigates the social networks (including relatives and friends)
of Brazilians who, having been born in a state of the federation,
decided to live in another state after completing 18 years old. A
brief review of themes related to friendship in the context of
international and national migration, especially in Brazil, is
presented, including some studies on friendship, race, ethnicity
and culture, friendship and international migration, including
international migration of Brazilians and finally friendship and
internal migration in Brazil.
Friendship, Race, Ethnicity and Culture In a recent review of
interethnic, interracial, intercultural and international
friendships, Garcia and
Miranda (2012) discussed the diversity of research on the topic,
highlighting the social and cultural importance of these
friendships. According to the authors, intercultural, interracial
and interethnic friendships are still poorly investigated and they
are usually studied considering inhabitants of the same region or
country. In this paper, we include some papers referring to
friendships between people with different ethnic, racial or
cultural backgrounds within the same country, not associated with
the first generation of immigrants in another country, which is
discussed in another item. Anyway, there is a clear boundary
between the two groups.
Referring to methodological issues in the study of interracial
friendships, Smith (2002) argues that the levels of these
friendships differ according to the method used to measure them.
The direct approach, focused on the race, shows the highest level
of integration, followed by three-step approach and the network
method would indicate the lowest integration. According to the
author, the direct approach probably overestimates the level of
interracial friendships and the network method produces more
accurate numbers.
An investigation in South Africa convened focus groups of
“Afrikaners”, British, “colored” (mixed race belonging to a
heterogeneous group of people with some degree of African ancestry
but not enough to be considered black), Asians and blacks, who
discussed intercultural friendships, including central
characteristics of friendships, instances in which they dealt with
cultural differences, rules violations that led to break up a
friendship relation and recommendations for appropriate and
satisfactory friendship. Each group emphasized different aspects of
friendship: the “Afrikaner” centered on themes of cultural identity
and pride; the British on themes of individualism and future
orientation, the “colored” in orientation and flexibility of the
relationship; Asians in responsibility for actions and openness,
and blacks on issues such as honor and compassion. There was a
positive relationship between the level of socio-cultural power in
South Africa and intensity of ethnic identity, so that the group
with higher socio-cultural power expressed most clearly the more
negative side of members of other groups, as well as expressed
preferences for their own group or individual standards for
intercultural friendship (Collier & Bornman, 1999).
Kao and Joyner (2004) examined differences in the activities of
interethnic and interracial friendships among whites, blacks,
Hispanics and Asians. According to the authors, it is more

likely that the best friends (more than friends of a higher order)
belong to the same ethnic group. Best friends also reported more
shared activities during the previous week than the friends of
higher order. They argue that shared activities are a useful
indicator of intimacy in friendship. In general, interracial
friends reported fewer shared activities that intra-racial. Young
whites, Asians and Hispanics reported less activity with black
friends. There was little difference in the activities between
inter and intra-ethnic friendships. The authors suggest that even
when young people break racial boundaries in selecting friends,
these friends face greater challenges than those between
individuals of the same race.
The relationship between friendship and prejudice has been
addressed by several authors. Aberson, Shoemaker and Tomolillo
(2004) examined the role of interethnic friendships involving
Euro-Americans, African-Americans and Latino Americans and their
relationship with implicit and explicit biases against these
groups. Euro-American with close friends of such groups exhibited
less implicit bias than participants without close friends in the
target group. The results highlight the importance of contact,
particularly interethnic friendship, to improve inter-group
attitudes. In another paper related to racial prejudice, Jacobson
and Johnson (2006) report that 85% of African- Americans who
participated in a survey also approved inter-marriage. The authors
concluded that the amount of contact or friendship that
African-Americans had with Euro-Americans seems to have been a
critical variable affecting attitudes about intergroup
marriages.
Several studies have investigated interracial or interethnic
friendships and their role in social integration. Vorauer and
Sakamoto (2006) examined the influence of communication problems on
the expression of interest in friendship during the interaction
between student groups of the same- sex (whites, whites and
Chinese, and Chinese). Whites with little prior contact with
Chinese tended to perceive that their statements had shown more
interest in friendships with the other group than the reverse,
which did not happen with whites with previous contact and Chinese
among themselves. This led to a decrease in real interest in
friendship over time by increasing the distance and lowering the
probability of formation of friendship groups.
Still related to social integration, a few studies have focused on
the role of majorities and ethnic or racial minorities and their
influence on the relations between members of these groups. Several
studies investigate ethnic and racial minorities and friendships.
Isajiw and Fong (2000), for example, examined the determinants of
patterns of interethnic friendships between a minority group and
the majority group and co-ethnic friendships. The analysis
indicated that participation in activities within the ethnic
minority group diminished the chances of developing friendships
with the majority group, individual socioeconomic characteristics
strongly affected co-ethnic friendships, and, previous experiences
of friendship with the majority group are related to the level of
ties with this group.
Based on these few examples, it is possible to indicate a
relatively diverse literature on interethnic or interracial
friendships. In general, these studies are related to the
historical phenomenon of the approach and coexistence of different
races or ethnic groups in the same territorial space, which in many
situations is the cause of many problems. Interethnic and
interracial friendships arise then as a factor that contributes to
social integration, enabling the reduction of prejudice. Other
recent references also analyze interracial friendships (Smith &
Singer, 2006; de Souza Briggs, 2007; Fischer, 2008), ethnic
friendships (Reynolds, 2007; Walker, 2008) or cultural friendships
(Goto & Chan, 2005; Sias, Drzewiecka, Meares, Bent, Konomi,
Ortega & White, 2007).
Friendship and International Migration A few studies discuss
friendships associated with the migratory process. Kugele
(2006)
examined the friendships of young nomad adults and how growing up
in different cultures and

moving frequently influenced feelings and behavior in friendships.
After describing the friendship networks and their main
characteristics on quality and intimacy, the author discusses the
relevance of friends on the social reintegration and the
significance of different forms of communication to maintain and
establish friendships. In another study, Haug (2003) investigated
interethnic friendships as an indicator of social integration among
young Turkish and Italian immigrants in Germany. Social integration
was investigated based on friendships with young Germans.
Immigrants of Italian origin had more German friends than
immigrants of Turkish origin. Young female immigrants were less
likely to build friendships with Germans than young male immigrants
from the same ethnic group.
In a study on friendships of young immigrants from Taiwan living in
the U.S., Tsai (2006) suggests that immigrants usually make new
friends after arriving in a new country. According to the author,
the formation of social networks should be understood within a
larger social context. The article examines how the sociocultural
context affects young immigrants to rebuild their friendship
networks. The results indicated that, due to limited knowledge of
English, the young remained distant from Americans to avoid
embarrassment, what contributed to increase segregation. A
protection factor used was living near the ethnic community, which
added to the networks of new friendships.
A few Latin American studies discuss the relation between
friendship and migration. Some studies on international migration
have indicated the involvement of friends in the migration process,
both at the site of origin of migrants as the destination. Zenteno
(2000) investigated the international migration from Mexico to the
U.S. and observed that migration networks are formed by family and
friends, as well as intermediate forgers of documents, immigration
consultants, travel agents, among others. The migrant networks
based on kinship, friendship or community are considered personal
networks to distinguish them from networks of intermediaries with
distant social relations and well organized. Legally admitted
immigrants in the United States contribute to strengthen the
networks of family and friends in Mexico and are a potential source
of increased migration. The migration networks based on kinship and
friendship continue to consolidate as a result of increased Mexican
migration to the United States, and the legalization and
naturalization of millions of Mexicans in this country. The author
adds that the probability of crossing the border into the United
States and getting a good job is higher among households that
already have kinship relationships and friendships in the country.
The author highlights the importance of social structures that
support migration from Mexico to the U.S., particularly the
migration networks of kinship and friendship and
intermediaries.
Friendship and International Migration of Brazilians A similar
situation was identified by Fazito and Rios-Neto (2008) regarding
the migration of
Brazilians to the Unites States. The author observed a system of
international migration involving migrants, family and friends in
Brazil, family and friends in the U.S., independent agents
(recruiters / brokers), tourism agencies, counterfeiters (brokers
for documents), returnees, churches (in the immigrant community),
pastors and coyotes (Mexicans). This migration system includes
personal networks, based on family ties and friendship, which are
fundamental for intermediation. Martes (2000) also referring to
Brazilians who migrate to the United States, recognizes that social
networks, usually involving relatives and friends, are fundamental
to explain how Brazilians migrate to the United States, primarily
because they help to reduce the psychological and economic costs of
migration. According to Lisboa (2007), the presence of friends in
the destination country was one of the main reasons for Brazilian
women to migrate to Europe.

Truzzi (2008) highlights the importance of social networks and
personal relationships in international migration. According to the
author, someone (person or family) considering the possibility of
migrating tends to rely more on information provided by a relative,
neighbor or friend. Thus, personal contacts became more important,
because they were more reliable than non-personal information.
Soares (2002) also emphasizes the importance of social network
analysis in migration processes observing that people do not
migrate to any place, but to places where they have relatives or
friends. According to this author, the most important social
networks are based on kinship, friendship, work and common
origin.
Friendship and Internal Migration in Brazil Literature on
friendships and internal migration in Brazil is also quite limited.
Cerrutti and
Bertoncello (2003) recognize three types of internal migration in
Latin America: rural-urban, urban-urban and inter-metropolitan
migration within large metropolitan conglomerates. The urban-urban
migration is now the predominant form of spatial movement in Latin
America. Often, references to friendship in studies on internal
migration are peripheral, although the authors acknowledge that
social networks, including family and friends, are important in the
migration. Below are listed some Brazilian studies investigating
internal migrations recognizing the role of friendships in these
flows.
When investigating migration and new urban network formation in the
State of Roraima, Diniz and Santos (2006) observed, in the Amazon
region, that family ties and friendships fulfill important roles in
linking local and more advanced migratory movements in pioneer
areas. Bassi, Barbosa and Araújo (2006) stated that the presence or
absence of support networks is an element of risk minimizer of the
decision to migrate. Therefore, the presence of the destination
networks (family, friends, acquaintances) can motivate the
displacement, reducing risks and doubts by providing information,
increasing the certainty and predictability as to the decisions of
migration within the same country, i.e., Brazil.
According to Matos and Ferreira (2004), the literature on internal
migration in Brazil has shown that migration becomes sustained by a
network of social relations involving bonds of solidarity among a
group of people bound together by ties of friendship, kinship and
work experience. Friends and relatives are involved in internal
migration. Tassara and Rabinovich (2007), in an investigation about
Brazilian migrants in São Paulo city observed that most of them had
some sort of contact in São Paulo before migrating, especially
relatives (84.4%) and a friendship network (34.4%). Upon arrival in
São Paulo, 71.9% looked for help from relatives and 12.5% from
friends. At the time of the survey, 65.6% lived with relatives and
9.4% of them lived with friends.
Lyra (2005) discusses internal return migration and she also refers
to the social network that feeds this type of migration. According
to the author, the most important relationships in social networks
are based on kinship, friendship and geographic origin. According
to Gonçalves (2001), internal migrants live under stressful
conditions and friends are extremely important as well as
solidarity networks among migrants themselves to cope with this
stressful situation. Figoli and Fazito (2009) investigated social
networks of indigenous migration in Manaus. The social network
included interpersonal ties with relatives and friends.
Despite the importance of internal migration in Brazil, little has
been investigated about changes in the social networks of migrants,
especially concerning friends. So, this paper aimed at reporting
the results of an investigation of the relations between
interpersonal relationships, especially friendship and internal
migration, identifying reasons for moving, and significant network
including relatives and friends.

Method
Participants The participants were 100 Brazilian adults aged
between 18 and 58 years old, who had left
his home state to live in another state due to work, study or
relationships. There were 39 men and 61 women, coming from 15
Brazilian states and moving to 13 states. 46 were single, 39 were
married, 11 were in a stable relationship and four were separated
or widowed. Participants were living outside their home state for
different periods of time. All of them had moved to another state
with at least 18 years old.
Procedures Participants were contacted by e-mail and they were
invited to participate in the investigation.
Those who agreed to participate received the questionnaire as an
attachment and they were asked to complete and return it.
Participants were nominated by other participants and answered some
close and open questions about their interpersonal relationships in
light of the process of moving from a state to another. The
questionnaire was developed for this research.
Instrument The first part of the questionnaire aimed at obtaining
personal data, such as age, gender,
marital status, if he/she lived with somebody, city and state where
he/she was born, current address (city and state) and for how long,
city and state of origin. And also reason for moving, job,
religion, schooling, romantic partner (husband/wife or
boyfriend/girlfriend), place the romantic partner was born (city
and state). Finally, the participant was asked to inform up to five
most significant people in his/her social network and their current
address (city and state).
The second part focused on local family network in the state the
participant currently lives, including other relatives in the state
when he/she moved. The third part investigated the conditions under
which the participant moved (alone or with others) and the effects
of moving on old and new friends, specifically if he/she kept in
touch with friends in the city of origin, if he/ she considered
that over time this contact remained stable, declined for all
friendships or if it declined to some friendships.
Data Analysis As an exploratory and descriptive investigation, data
were analyzed using descriptive statistics
in order to map the social significant network of Brazilian
migrants who moved to another state after completing 18 years
old.
Results The results are presented in four parts. Initially, some
data about the reasons participants
informed for moving are presented. The second part presents data
about the general social network which includes all people reported
by participants as significant in their personal networks. In the
third part, the local social network is described. The local social
network refers only to those people living in the same city or
metropolitan area where the participant lived. Finally, data about
the general and the local social network as compared. The
expression “social network” and “personal network” are used
interchangeably in this paper

Reasons to Move The participants were asked to
indicate the reasons why they had moved to another state. The main
reasons to move (sometimes occurring together) were work (55),
study (37), and relationship and family (23).
General Social Network Participants cited 467 significant
people in their personal networks, including: friends (163),
parents (97), brothers or sisters (78), husband, wife or romantic
partner (60), son or daughter (28), cousin (15), father-in-law or
mother- in-law (5), grandparent, (5), colleague (4), uncle or aunt
(3), brother-in-law or sister-in-law (3), godmother (2), nephew or
niece (1), stepson or stepdaughter (1), priest (1), teacher (1).
The Table 1 presents the composition of the general social network
and the proportional participation of each group in the general
social network. Table 1 describes the general social network
composition.
Table 2 summarizes data from Table 1, organizing data in four
categories besides “friends”: nuclear family of origin (parent,
brother and sister), husband/wife or romantic partners and children
or stepson or stepdaughter (what could be considered at least
potentially a new nuclear family), extended family (grandparents,
uncles and aunts, cousins, fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law,
brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, nephew or niece) and others
(colleague, godmother, priest, teacher).
Local Social Network The local social network was formed
by 164 significant people. Only 35.1% of the total social network
lived in the same city of the participant, mainly friends (74),
romantic partners including spouse (45), sons or daughters (17),
brothers or sisters (9), parent (4), colleague (4), father or
mother in law (4), godmother (2), grandparent (1), uncle or aunt
(1), brother or sister in law (1), priest (1) and teacher (1).

network and Table 4 summarizes data presented in Table 3.
According to Table 4, concerning significant others living in the
same city where migrants live, romantic partners and children (62)
represents 37.8% of the network of significant people and
geographically close, and friends represent 45.1% of the network.
Only 13 parents and siblings are cited, representing only 7.9% of
the network of significant people and geographically close.
General and Local Social Network – A Comparison
Regarding the general social network, one can observe the presence
of 175 members of the nuclear origin family (fathers, mothers and
siblings totaling
37.5% of the network). Friends represent 34.9% of people considered
significant in the network of migrants. The 89 romantic partners
and children represent 19.1% of significant others. The extended
family, considering grandparents, uncles and cousins totals 32
people or 6.9% of the network. Table 5 compares data of general and
local social networks and Table 6 summarizes these data.
Finally, Table 7 summarizes all data about friends, family members
(including romantic partners) and others.
Data comparing general and local social networks are discussed in
the next session.
Discussion The main reasons to move
(sometimes occurring together) were work (55), study (37), and
relationship and family (23). This is an important data considering
that personal relationships are not only affected by internal
migration, by they are also an important factor causing internal
migration. 23% of participants moved at least partially due to some
kind of relationship, to accompany family or spouse, for
instance.

The first point to be highlighted is the fact that the migrant is
far (geographically speaking) from 64.9% of his or her personal
significant network. Even considering that current communication
means are available and efficient, the number of significant others
living in the same city is restricted to 35.1%. This apparently
means that at least personal contact becomes not so frequent. On
the other hand, this probably will facilitate new friendships and
the formation of a wider personal network based on
friendships.
The Table 7 also indicates that the proportion of local friends
(45.4% of friends considered as significant others live in the same
place) is higher than the proportion of local relatives (28.3%).
This data indicate that migrating tends to tear families apart.
Friends also appear as possibly more flexible, as it is possible to
make new friends after migrating. Based on these data we could say
that the local friends network is geographically closer than family
network. Data also indicate that relatives (286) are in a larger
number than friends (163) in the general social network. This means
that friends represent 34.9% of the network while relatives are
61.2%. The situation is quite different considering only those
living in the same place. In this case, friends are 45.1% and
relatives 49.4%. This could be considered an adaptation to living
far from family and a possible compensation.
Table 6 shows a bit more details concerning both situations,
especially concerning what happens to different family levels or
groups. In this case, spouses and children (and here we have
included romantic partners) is proportionally the group that

is more present (69.7% members of this group live in the same
city). The numbers are smaller for members of the extended family
(21.9%), but especially small for the nuclear family of origin
(7.4%). These numbers suggest that migrants frequently move with
spouses and children but rarely move with parents and
siblings. Hypothetically, in large scale, this could foster the
development of new nuclear families and a weakening of extended
families. On the other hand, friends become proportionally more
present. It would be possible to assume, as well, that in large
scale this would contribute to a more individualistic and less
collectivist society, as a historical social movement.
Table 6 also indicates that different family groups or levels are
quite different. So, parents and siblings are the most important
family group in the general significant social network (37.5%).
Romantic partners, spouses and children are 19.1% and the extended
family only 6.9%. The nuclear family (56.6%) is much more present
than the extended family (6.9%) suggesting a weak participation of
the extended family compared to the nuclear family. Friends (34.9%)
are much more important (at least in numbers) than the extended
family as well. In Table 5 it is possible to note that husband or
wife or romantic partner (60) are more mentioned than children
(28). The first group is also more present in local network (75%)
than the second one (60.7%). It is also interesting to note that
cousins (15) are the most important members of extended family in
general network, but no one lived in the same city.
Some final comments are necessary. The data suggest that migrating
causes the distancing of a large part of the network of significant
others affecting interpersonal relationships of migrants in various
ways. The network composition is probably affected by the life
moment and age of participants. According to Cerrutti and
Bertoncello (2003) the predominant type of internal migration
considered in this investigation is urban-urban, which is
considered by the author as the predominant form of spatial
movement in Latin America.
While other authors emphasized the participation of friends
considering the function they serve, we tried to investigate how
friends were evaluated by Brazilian internal migrants, i.e., if
they would be included in their significant network. We can
conclude, by the analysis of the citations of friends that they are
an important group. We could recognize three main groups: family,
friends and others. The two first groups are the most important.
While other investigation mentioned the participation of friends in
some moment in the migratory movement, we tried to evidence the
participation of friends in the participants social networks and
tried to identify the proportion of this local network in light of
their general networks. These data depict a general situation of
these internal migrants, and data suggest that these migrants are
far from an important part of their significant others.
While most studies analyzed the participation or importance of
friends in the migration process or for migrants (Bassi, Barbosa
& Araújo, 2006; Diniz & Santos, 2006; Figoli & Fazito,
2009; Lyra, 2005; Matos & Ferreira, 2004; Tassara &
Rabinovich, 2007) this paper described the composition of migrant
networks including friends. Although this paper did not aimed at
investigating psychological suffering, our data suggest that the
situation observed by Gonçalves (2001), concerning the stressful
conditions migrants face and the important help provided by
friends, is compatible with the social context investigated in this
paper.

Conclusion Despite the importance of internal migration in Brazil,
little has been investigated about
changes in the social networks of migrants, especially concerning
friends. So, this paper aimed at reporting the results of an
investigation of the relations between interpersonal relationships,
especially friendship and internal migration, identifying reasons
for moving, and significant network including relatives and
friends. Based on the results, it is possible to conclude that
migration affects the personal network of Brazilians who moved to
live, work or study in another state. This investigation has shown
that migrating is associated with several changes in personal
networks promoting the distancing from family and highlighting the
importance of friends. This investigation also presents some
limitations, as the limited number of participants and data
collection using the Internet, possibly recruiting highly educated
participants. Future investigations should consider the influence
of age, stage of social development, and social and economic
factors involved.
