Tony Naidoo is 'n sielkundeprofessor en voormalige departementshoof aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch. Hy doseer gemeenskaps-, beradings- en loopbaansielkunde en is ook bekend vir 'n fokus op temas soos die politiek van die opleiding van sielkundiges, die relevansie van sielkunde in Suid-Afrika, loopbaanontwikkeling, implementering van gemeenskapsprojekte, sowel as die geskiedenis en filosofie van sielkunde. Tony is 'n bedrewe skrywer en bestuur 'n aantal gemeenskapsprojekte wat sy navorsing en onderrig inlig en lei.

Navorsing

Navorsingsonderwerpe

• Loopbaanleiding en berading
• Toegepaste kontekstuele gemeenskapsielkunde-assessering en intervensies

• Ekosielkunde en die mens-natuur-interaksie
• Manlikheidsstudie

Oor my navorsing

My dominante akademiese oriëntasie is kritiese gemeenskapsielkunde. Ek het 'n lewendige belangstelling in die kontekstuele of sosio-ekologiese begrip van gedrag en veral in die betrek van die bekommernisse van gemarginaliseerde groepe.

My navorsingsbelangstellings is georiënteer rondom 3 onderskeibare belangstellingsgebiede:

• Kwessies wat verband hou met gemeenskapsfunksionering en welstand
• Kwessies wat verband hou met loopbaanontwikkeling en -gedrag
• Sake wat verband hou met die interaksie tussen mense en die natuur/omgewing

Gemeenskapsfunksionering en Welstand

• Impak van 'n stres- en uitbrandingsintervensie op opvoeders in hoërisiko-, lae-inkomsteskole
• Handing van destruktiewe leierskapsgedrag: 'n Kwalitatiewe studie van nie-fisiese mishandeling in Suid-Afrikaanse maatskappye
• 'n Gemeenskapsgebaseerde deelnemende intervensie wat positiewe vorme van manlikheid bevorder om vrede en veiligheid te skep: Aanspreek van interpersoonlike geweld in 'n Wes-Kaapse gemeenskap
• Psigososiale invloede wat verband hou met gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid: 'n Multivlak-perspektief
• Die afbakening van "Risiko" - 'n Verkenning van Selfgerapporteerde en Waargenome Risikofaktore wat Bendebetrokkenheid onder Wes-Kaapse Vroue Voorkom
• Verkenning van die geleefde ervarings van die vroulike eggenoot in kinderhuwelike in Ghana

Loopbaangedrag en -ontwikkeling

• Die impak van 'n loopbaanontwikkelingsprogram op die loopbaanselfdoeltreffendheid en akademiese motivering van Graad 11 leerders van diverse sosio-ekonomiese agtergronde
• 'n Gemengde-metodes-analise van swart adolessente se beroepsidentiteitsstatus en loopbaanaanpasbaarheidskompetensies in 'n Suid-Afrikaanse township
• Verkenning van die invloed van rolmodelle op die loopbaanontwikkelingsproses van skoolgaande adolessente uit 'n lae-inkomstegemeenskap in Suid-Afrika
• Narratiewe Identiteite: Stemme van die werklose jeug in 'n lae-inkomstegemeenskap in Suid-Afrika
• 'n Vertaling en psigometriese ondersoek van Die Suid-Afrikaanse Loopbaanbelangstellingsinventaris oor geslag en ras onder hoërskoolleerders

Omgewing/Konteks

• 'n Verkennende studie van die maniere waarop jeugdiges wat in gevaar is, 'n wildernisterapieprogram in die Wes-Kaap ervaar
• Waargenome voordele van natuurgebaseerde ervarings as bemiddelaars van verbondenheid-met-die-natuur: Die geval van Mystic Mountain
• Geleefde ervarings van verborge rassisme by 'n histories wit universiteit
• Verkenning van die invloed van geslag op hoe vroulike fasiliteerders van 'n wildernisprogram "wildernis" beskou

Hierdie drie groepe illustreer my navorsingsbelangstellings in die ekologiese begrip van gedrag binne die konteks van strukturele en bemiddelende sosiale invloede.

Hieronder is voorbeelde van onlangse tesisse en dissertasies wat ek vanuit die 3 klusters begelei het.
