Abstract(s)
O presente estudo pretende avaliar a relação entre os níveis de autodeterminação e os níveis de perceção de competência alimentar.
Participaram no estudo, de carácter descritivo e exploratório, 119 indivíduos, com mais de 18 anos, inscritos no ano de 2017/2018 em qualquer Instituição do Ensino Superior em Portugal. Os participantes, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 52 anos, responderam a um protocolo que contemplava os seguintes instrumentos: Questionário sociodemográfico, a Escala de Autodeterminação, versão Portuguesa da “Self-Determination Scale” (SDSp) (Sheldon & Deci, 1996; Sheldon, Ryan, & Reis, 1996; Silva, Vieira, Coutinho, Minderico, Matos, & Sardinha, 2010) e a Escala de Perceção de Competência, versão Portuguesa da “Perceived Competence Scale” (PCSp) (Williams, Freedman, & Deci 1998; Mestre & Ribeiro, 2008).
Não se identificaram associações estatisticamente significativas entre os níveis de autodeterminação e os níveis de perceção de competência, bem como não se apuraram diferenças, com significado estatístico, entre os níveis de autodeterminação (global), os níveis de autoconsciência, os níveis de escolha percebida em função do sexo. No caso da perceção de competência, por outro lado, os resultados sugerem diferenças, estatisticamente significativas, em função do sexo.
Os resultados obtidos não vão, na sua maioria, ao encontro da generalidade daqueles encontrados através da revisão sistemática da literatura.
Assim, e apesar da literatura existente apontar para a importância dos indicadores de autodeterminação e a perceção de competência para os comportamentos de saúde, nomeadamente aqueles relacionados com a alimentação, e para a associação entre aquelas variáveis, no presente estudo não foram encontrados resultados, com significado estatístico, para a maior parte destes enunciados, exceção feita a alguns aspetos da autodeterminação e da perceção de competência. Terminamos com uma reflexão sobre as limitações desta investigação exploratória e das possíveis razões explicativas dos resultados encontrados, bem como sugestões de investigação futura.
This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the levels of self-determination and the levels of food competence perception Participated in the study of descriptive and exploratory nature 119 individuals, with more than 18 years, registered in the year of 2017/2018 in any Institution of Higher Education in Portugal. The participants aged between 18 and 52 years responded to a protocol which envisaged the following instruments: Sociodemographic Questionnaire, “Escala de Autodeterminação”, the Portuguese version of the “Self-Determination Scale (SDSp) (Sheldon & Deci, 1996; Sheldon, Ryan, & Reis, 1996; Silva, Vieira, Coutinho, Minderico, Matos, & Sardinha, 2010) and “ Escala de Perceção de Competência”, Portuguese version of the “Perceived Competence Scale” (PCSp) (Williams, Freedman, & Deci 1998; Mestre & Ribeiro, 2008). No statistically significant associations were identified between levels of self-determination and levels of perceived competence, nor between levels of self-determination (global), levels of self-awareness, levels perceived of choice function of sex. In the case of perceived competence, on the other hand, the results suggest statistically significant differences, depending on the sex. The results obtained do not, for the most part, meet the generality of those found through the systematic review of the literature. Therefore, despite the existing literature indicates the importance of self-determination and perceived competece for health behaviors indicators, namely those related to food, and for the association between those variables, there were not found in the presente study statistical significance for most of these statements, except for some aspects of self-determination and perceived competence. We conclude with a reflection on the limitations of this exploratory investigation and the possible explanatory reasons of the results found, as well as suggestions for future research.
