RIBEIRO, Marinalva Lopes; JUTRAS, France  e  LOUIS, Roland. Analysis of social representations of affectivity in the teaching relationship. Psicologia da educação [online]. 2005, n.20, pp.31-54. ISSN 1414-6975.

This paper, which is based on the author's doctoral dissertation, deals with the affective dimension in the teaching relationship from the perspective of the social representations held by faculty members of a public university in the state of Bahia. Data were collected through three methods: 1) free associations, starting from the term "affectivity"; 2) semi-structured interviews; and 3) hierarchical groupings. Data deriving from the first of these methods were provided by a hundred participants. The other methods were applied to fifteen participants. The final results show how important the affective dimension is for teachers as far as students' learning is concerned. They also show the existence of a possible central dimension in the participants' representation of affectivity.

Palavras-chave : Social representations; Affectivity; Affective dimension; Affective competence; Teaching relationship.
