Abstract(s)
Os acontecimentos de vida adversos assumem um papel significativo no desenvolvimento
psicossocial do indivíduo, podendo potenciar dificuldades na sua adaptação à realidade.
Estes eventos parecem aumentar a vulnerabilidade ao stress, bem como dificuldades de
regulação emocional e comportamental que influenciam o autocontrolo e o
desenvolvimento de indícios psicopáticos. Estes fatores encontram-se subjacentes aos
processos transgressivos encontrados na população forense, contudo não existem muitos
dados referentes à população prisional feminina portuguesa. Como tal, esta dissertação tem
o objetivo de compreender os mecanismos associados ao comportamento delinquente,
especialmente o impacto das experiências prévias de adversidade no contexto prisional
feminino. Os dados foram recolhidos por um processo de amostragem por conveniência,
com 40 mulheres recluídas do Estabelecimento Prisional de Santa Cruz do Bispo e 38
mulheres da população geral. Os instrumentos de avaliação utilizados para a recolha de
dados foram o Dispositivo de Despiste de Processo Antissocial versão autorresposta (APSDSR) (Pechorro et al., 2012), o Questionário da Vulnerabilidade ao Stress (23 QVS) (Serra,
2000), a Escala de Baixo Autocontrolo (Aguiar, 2018) e uma entrevista semiestruturada dos
Acontecimentos de Vida. A análise de dados revela os participantes forenses, existe uma
correlação positiva superior entre os indícios psicopáticos e o impacto dos acontecimentos
adversos. Salienta-se, também, um maior impacto das experiências de adversidade dos
participantes forenses, sendo que as mulheres recluídas reportaram maior frequência e
diversidade destas experiências. Por fim, observa-se que os problemas de saúde mental são
os mais reportados nas duas participantes.
Adverse life events play a significant role in the psychosocial development of the individual and may lead to difficulties in adapting to reality. These events seem to increase vulnerability to stress, as well as emotional and behavioral regulation difficulties that influence self-control and the development of psychopathic signs. These factors underlie the transgressive processes found in the forensic population, however there is not much data regarding the Portuguese female prison population. As such, this dissertation aims to understand the mechanisms associated with delinquent behavior, especially the impact of previous experiences of adversity in the female prison context. Data were collected through a convenience sampling process, with 40 women inmates of the Santa Cruz do Bispo Prison and 38 women from the general population. The assessment instruments used for data collection were the Antisocial Process Screening Device Self-Response Version (APSD-SR) (Pechorro et al., 2012), the Vulnerability to Stress Questionnaire (23 QVS) (Serra, 2000), the Low Self-Control Scale (Aguiar, 2018), and a semi-structured Life Events interview. Data analysis reveals that, in the forensic, there is a superior positive correlation between psychopathic traits and the impact of adversity experiences in the forensic sample, with inmate women reporting a greater frequency and diversity of these experiences. Finally, mental health problems are the most reported adverse experience in both samples.
