Abstract
ABSTRACT This article aims to characterize and systematize the scientific production by Brazilian stricto sensu postgraduate courses in Psychology regarding young people in Higher Education, developed from 2008 to 2017. The state of knowledge was outlined by means of keyword searches in the CAPES theses and dissertations catalog. In the end of the search, 78 works were selected, and information, obtained by reading the abstracts, was tabulated in Excel spreadsheets and analyzed quantitatively, considering: a) region, b) institution, c) year of defense, d) theoretical perspective, e) types of research, f) methodological procedures and g) themes studied. Among the results, the following stand out: the studies mostly come from the Southeast region; there is a greater number of productions and qualitative research works between the years 2013 and 2017. Concerning young people’s health, themes and studies on the true meaning of policies for access and permanence in Higher Education predominate.
