O Programa de Pós-Graduação em Teoria e Pesquisa do Comportamento (PPGTPC), que integra o Núcleo de Teoria e Pesquisa do Comportamento(NTPC) da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA), iniciou suas atividades em 1987 com o curso de Mestrado Acadêmico em Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa do Comportamento. O curso de Doutorado passou a ser oferecido a partir do ano 2000.

    Analise paramétrica do comportamento do zebrafish no labirinto em cruz com rampa

    Animal models have been a useful tool in the study and treatment of anxiety. Parametric studies are important to ensure these models validity since they help to identify witch parameters of the model are relevant to produce anxiety-like behaviors. The Plus-maze with Ramp is an anxiety model for fishes, adapted from the Elevated Plus-maze with Ramp. The present study consists of a parametric analysis of the zebrafish’s response in the Plus-Maze with Ramp, evaluating the effects of sex, ramp inclination, light level and arms width. Results showed that, regardless of any manipulation in the evaluated parameters, the animals preferred the flat arms instead of arms with ramp, that the light level of 700 lux increased the animal’s general exploratory behavior and that the ramp inclination of 34,43º increased the total number of entries in the flat arms. The plusmaze with Ramp seems to be a valid model for the study of anxiety in fish and the standard measures of the apparatus seems adequate.

    Efeitos da perda rápida de peso em aspectos psicológicos em atletas de esportes de combate
    (Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-10-21) VALE, Flavia Beatriz Xavier do; JUNIOR, Amauri Gouveia; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1417327467050274
    Rapid Weight Loss (RWL) is the average 3-5% reduction in body mass in a short period. It is used by combat sports athletes to gain advantages and fight in lower categories. The weight variation influences emotional and cognitive aspects, therefore, the present study aims to verify if there are differences between Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) athletes who can and cannot lose weight, and if a RWL influences psychological parameters. The convenience sample consisted of 17 healthy male BJJ athletes, aged 25.7 ± 5.7 years, with competitive experience and pre-competitive PRP, blue belt at minimum. The research was divided into two experiments: emotional and cognitive assessment of athletes and formation of the Experimental Group (EG) x Control Group (CG); and experiment 2, with athletes who managed to lose weight, in three moments: baseline, 3% loss and 5% weight loss. Were used the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, Stroop Colors and Words Test, Trail Making Test and Go/No-Go. No significant differences were found between the weight loss periods, but differences were observed between the groups Lose (GE) x Do not lose (GC) in the inhibitory control function. It is concluded that the rapid loss of up to 5% body weight does not alter emotional parameters, such as levels of anxiety and depression, and cognitive parameters of athletes, but the cognitive function of inhibitory control can be decisive in the success of the RWL strategy.
