The aim of this chapter is to present an intervention conducted in Brazil to enhance children’s perception of social support and improve interpersonal relationships within their developmental microcontexts. The first section reviews international research on the pandemic’s impact on children and introduces key epistemic principles of the Bioecological Theory of Human Development (BTHD) that help contextualize these effects. The second section details the cultural adaptation, implementation, and data collection process of the intervention, which was carried out in five Brazilian cities. The third section presents analyses demonstrating the intervention’s potential, highlighting its effects on children’s perceived social support and the expansion of their affective and social support networks. Finally, the chapter concludes by summarizing key findings, discussing the study’s limitations, and identifying future scientific challenges in light of the increasing prevalence of natural disasters worldwide.

摘要

The aim of this chapter is to present an intervention conducted in Brazil to enhance children’s perception of social support and improve interpersonal relationships within their developmental microcontexts. The first section reviews international research on the pandemic’s impact on children and introduces key epistemic principles of the Bioecological Theory of Human Development (BTHD) that help contextualize these effects. The second section details the cultural adaptation, implementation, and data collection process of the intervention, which was carried out in five Brazilian cities. The third section presents analyses demonstrating the intervention’s potential, highlighting its effects on children’s perceived social support and the expansion of their affective and social support networks. Finally, the chapter concludes by summarizing key findings, discussing the study’s limitations, and identifying future scientific challenges in light of the increasing prevalence of natural disasters worldwide.
