Abstract(s)
O presente estudo teve como objetivo perceber e caracterizar as microagressões dirigidas
a uma população portuguesa LGBTQIA+, tendo em conta variáveis sociodemográficas
como o género, a orientação sexual, o nível de escolaridade e o estatuto socioeconómico,
bem como variáveis relacionadas com a saúde mental, concretamente os sintomas de
ansiedade, de depressão e o impacto subjetivo de um evento stressante e/ou traumático.
A amostra foi constituída por 133 participantes e o protocolo incluiu quatro
questionários: o Questionário Sociodemográfico, a Escala de Microagressões de Género
e Minorias Sexuais, as Escalas de Ansiedade, Depressão e Stress, e a Escala do Impacto
de Acontecimentos - Revista. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que existem diferenças
significativas nas microagressões LGBTQIA+ tendo em conta o género, a orientação
sexual e o nível de escolaridade, mas não o estatuto socioeconómico. Relativamente aos
sintomas de ansiedade e de depressão, foi encontrada uma correlação positiva entre os
mesmos e as microagressões LGBTQIA+. No que diz respeito ao impacto subjetivo de
um evento stressante ou traumático, não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente
significativas entre os participantes que reportavam episódios de microagressões
LGBTQIA+ e aqueles que reportaram outros episódios não relacionados com
microagressões LGBTQIA+. Com a análise de clusters realizada, foi possível concluir que
pessoas LGBTQIA+, particularmente as mais novas, apresentam maior sintomatologia
ansiosa e depressiva e reportam um maior impacto das microagressões associadas à sua
orientação sexual e/ou identidade de género.
The present study aimed to understand and characterize microaggressions directed towards a Portuguese LGBTQIA+ population, considering sociodemographic variables such as gender, sexual orientation, educational level and socioeconomic status, as well as mental health related variables, more specifically anxiety and depression symptoms and the subjective impact of a stressful and/or traumatic event. The sample consisted of 133 participants and the protocol included four questionaries: the Sociodemographic Questionary, the Gender and Sexual Minority Microaggressions Scale, the Anxiety, Depression and Stress Scales, and the Impact of Event Scale – Revised. The obtained results indicated there are significative differences in the LGBTQIA+ microaggressions considering gender, sexual orientation and educational level, but not in the socioeconomic status. Regarding the anxiety and depression symptoms, a correlation has been found between those and LGBTQIA+ microaggressions. With regards to the subjective impact of a stressful or traumatic event, no statistically significant differences have been found between participants who reported episodes of LGBTQIA+ microaggressions and those who reported other episodes non-related with LGBTQIA+ microaggressions. With the performed cluster analysis, it was possible to conclude that LGBTQIA+ people, especially the younger ones, present higher anxiety and depressive symptomatology and report a higher impact of microaggressions associated with their sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
