Abstract(s)
Este estudo teve como objetivo geral avaliar a compaixão, os motivos hedónicos e
eudaimónicos e o distress psicológico em adultos. Na sequência deste objetivo,
pretende-se: caracterizar os indicadores de compaixão, bem-estar (orientações) e
distress psicológico; verificar se existem diferenças significativas ao nível da
compaixão, bem-estar (orientações) e distress em função de algumas variáveis
sociodemográficas (sexo e idade) e analisar a relação entre a compaixão o bem-estar
(orientações) e o distress psicológico. A amostra desta investigação é constituida por
421 participantes, com idades compreendidas entre 18 anos e 66 anos (M=32.56), dos
quais 321 são do sexo feminino e 97 do sexo masculino.
Os instrumentos utilizados foram: o Questionário Sociodemográfico; Escala de
Atributos e Ações Compassivas (CEAS); Escala de Mal-Estar Psicológico de Kessler
(K6) e a Escala de Motivos Hedónicos Eudaimónicos e Extrínsecos para as Atividades
(HEEMA).
Os resultados indicam diferenças estatisticamente significativas, em função do
sexo na Compaixão com os outros, tendo as mulheres a pontuação mais
elevada, já os homens apresentam resultados mais elevados na Autocompaixão,
ainda que sem significância estatisca. Quanto ao bem-estar, os homens revelam
pontuação mais elevada, ao passo que no distress foram as mulheres a pontuar
mais, mas ambas sem diferenças estatisticamente significativas. Na compaixão,
bem-estar e distress em função da idade não existem diferenças
estatisticamente significativas. Contudo os indivíduos mais novos (=20 anos)
revelam mais distress. Verificou-se, também que apenas a
Motivação/orientação extrínseca e a Autocompaixão se correlacionam com o
distress.
This study aimed to evaluate compaission, hedonic and eudaimonic motives and psychological distress in adults. Following the general objetive, it is intended to characterize the indicators of compassion, well-being (guidelines) and psychological distress; to check if there are significant diferences in terms of compassion, well-being (guidelines) and distress due to some sociodemographic variables (sex and age) and to analyze the relationship between compassion, well-being (guidelines) and psychological distress. The sample of this investigation consists of 421 participants, aged between 18 and 66 years (M = 32.56), of which 321 are female and 97 male. The instruments were: Sociodemographic Questionaire; The Compassionate Engagement and Action Scales (CEAS); Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6) and the Hedonic Eudaimonic and Extrinsic Motives for Activities Scale (HEEMA). The results indicated statistically significant differeences, as a function of sex in Compassion with others, with women having a higher score, while the men have higher results in Self-Compassion, although without statistical significance. As for well-being, men showed higher scores, whereas in distress women scored more, but both without statistically significant differences. In compassion, well-being and distress as a function of age, there are no statistically significant differences. However, it was the youngest individuals (=20 years) who had the most distress. It also found that only the Motivation/extrinsic orientation and Self-compassion are correlated with distress.
