Resumo: The present research proposes to study possible relations between age, time of ministerial, or clerical, service in the Methodist Church, and self-image in terms of altruism. The theme of altruism is approached via philosophy, psychoanalysis, evolutionary studies, and the cognitive psychology of moral development. The research examines the criticisms and contributions offered by the psychoanalytical theories of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, with respect to the debate regarding altruism, and contributions offered by the investigations of Jean Piaget and Lawrence Kohlberg, with regard to the elaboration of ethical judgments made by persons. The text analyzes the image that Methodist pastors in Brazil have, or present, regarding themselves, in terms of actions toward the well-being of other human beings, taking into consideration responses and justifications to questions offered in the research questionnaire, in which hypothetical situations regarding altruism is required. The results show evidence that older pastors hold a more positive self-image than young pastors about altruism.(AU)
