Con el objetivo de determinar si el rasgo conciencia de la personalidad es un buen predictor de la actitud hacia la tesis, se realizó un estudio asociativo predictivo con una población de 83 universitarios de una sociedad científica a quienes se les aplicó la subescala factor conciencia del inventario de personalidad NEO PI-R y la escala de actitud hacia la realiza-ción de una tesis. Los resultados evidencian que las facetas competencia, sentido del deber y reflexión son las que predicen significativamente la actitud hacia la tesis universitaria. Así mismo, se observa una asociación directa a nivel moderado entre ambas variables. Se concluye que la predominancia del rasgo conciencia en el perfil de personalidad de uni-versitarios involucrados en grupos de investigación predice actitudes favorables hacia la elaboración de trabajos de grado.

This study investigated the social representations about violence of the transgender population in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Southeastern Brazil. Semi-structured interviews and content analysis were used combined with lexical analysis through Iramuteq software. Nine transgender people (transvestites and transsexuals) were chosen for the interview based on convenience sampling. The results show that the anchorages and objectifications of social representations are organized into four categories: (a) experiences of violence (b) institutions and traditional process, (c) identity processes (d) and body and social life.
