Abstract(s)
Considera-se que o nível de alexitimia pode afetar o desempenho do sujeito quanto
às habilidades sociais que apresenta, pois, a sua incapacidade de expressar emoções pode
vir a ter percussões na tomada de decisão dos comportamentos a adotar em cada situação
pelo sujeito. O conceito habilidades sociais diz respeito à noção de existência de diferentes
tipos de comportamentos sociais na lista que o individuo adquiriu, através de
aprendizagem, e possui atualmente para lidar com as diferentes situações interpessoais. A
alexitimia é um termo utilizado aquando do diagnóstico clínico para definir pessoas com
extrema dificuldade ou incapacidade de expressar emoções, pelo que pode significar “sem
palavras para as emoções”. Deste modo, a presente investigação propõe-se a estudar a
relação entre as habilidades sociais e a alexitimia.
Para tal utilizamos a Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) para avaliar os níveis de
alexitimia da amostra e o Inventário de Habilidades Sociais (IHS) para avaliar o índice de
habilidades sociais da amostra.
Os resultados obtidos permitiram-nos verificar a existência de uma correlação
negativa fraca entre as variáveis em estudo, o que significa que quanto mais elevado é o nível
de alexitimia apresentado pelo individuo, menor é o seu reportório de habilidades sociais.
It is considered that the level of alexithymia can affect the subject's performance in terms of the social skills he/she presents, as their inability to express emotions may have repercussions in the subject's decision-making on the behaviors to adopt in each situation. The concept of social skills refers to the notion of the existence of different types of social behavior in the list that the individual has acquired, through learning, and currently must deal with different interpersonal situations. Alexithymia is a term used during clinical diagnosis to define people with extreme difficulty or inability to express emotions, which can mean “no words for emotions”. Thus, the present investigation proposes to study the relationship between social skills and alexithymia. To this end, we used the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) to assess the sample's alexithymia levels and the Social Skills Inventory (IHS) to assess the sample's social skills index. The results obtained allowed us to verify the existence of a weak negative correlation between the variables under study, which means that the higher the level of alexithymia presented by the individual, the smaller their repertoire of social skills.
