Abstract(s)
Os processos que impulsionam a felicidade e a satisfação com a vida têm recebido uma
atenção considerável no campo da psicologia. O bem-estar é um conceito
multidimensional e a maioria dos investigadores consente que o conteúdo do bem-estar
se reparte dentro de duas grandes abordagens: hedônica e eudemónica. Esta duas escolas
emergem da filosofia, duas linhas distintas acerca daquilo que constitui o bem-estar, uma
vida bem vivida, e cada uma destas define um caminho distinto para a felicidade.
Já o distress está relacionado com a diminuição das capacidades normais do indivíduo,
surgindo uma sensação de se estar constrito por dificuldades, aqui, o indivíduo não será
bem-sucedido e a tensão permanece elevada durante muito tempo, manifestando
sintomas de distress que traduzem a sua má adaptação à situação de exigência em que se
encontra.
Este estudo teve como principal objetivo avaliar os motivos hedónicos e eudemónicos e
a sua relação com o distress psicológico, em adultos, e em função de variáveis
sociodemográficas selecionadas. A amostra desta investigação é composta 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 dados foram recolhidos através de questionário online, que incluía: o Questionário
Sociodemográfico, a Escala de Mal-Estar Psicológico de Kessler (K6) e a Escala de
Motivos Hedónicos e Eudemónicos e Extrínsecos para as Atividades (HEEMA).
Os resultados indicam diferenças estatisticamente significativas a nível do Distress nos
grupos Trabalhador-Estudantes, Estudantes e Desempregados. Não foram encontradas
diferença estatisticamente significativas, a nível das categorias de Bem-Estar e Distress ,
entre os grupos com habilitações/grau de escolaridade diferentes. Relativamente aos
grupos de estatuto socioeconómico (percecionado), os resultados indicaram diferenças
estatisticamente significativas a nível do Distress, no entanto, não foram apurados os
estatutos em questão. Por último, não se verificou uma relação estatisticamente
significativa entre o distress psicológico e as varáveis do bem-estar.
The processes that drive happiness and life satisfaction have received considerable attention in the field of psychology. Well-being is a multidimensional concept and most researchers agree that the content of well-being is divided into two broad approaches: hedonic and eudaemonic. These two approaches emerge from philosophy, two distinct lines about what constitutes well-being, a life well lived, and each of these defines a distinct path to happiness. Distress is harmful and harmful, it is related to the decrease of the normal capacities of the individual, resulting in a feeling of being constricted by difficulties, here, the individual will not be successful and the tension remains high for a long time, manifesting symptoms of distress that reflect their poor adaptation to the demanding situation in which they find themselves. This study aimed to assess hedonic and eudaimonic motives, and psychological distress in adults. Following this aim, we intend to: characterize the levels of well-being and levels of psychological distress in a sample of adults in Portugal; to analyze whether there are significant differences in the levels of hedonia, eudaimonia and extrinsic motivation and distress considering the professional status, qualifications/education level and socioeconomic status (perceived). It is also intended to analyze the relationship between psychological distress and psychological well-being (hedonia, eudaimonia and extrinsic motivation). The sample of this research is composed of 421 participants, aged between 18 and 66 years (M = 32.56, DP = 10.98), of which 321 are female and 97 male. Data was collected using an online survey that include: (Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the Kessler Psychological Discontent Scale (K6) and the Hedonic and Eudemonic and Extrinsic Motives for Activities Scale (HEEMA)). The results suggest statistically significant differences in terms of Distress in the WorkerStudents, Students and Unemployed groups. No statistically significant differences were found in any of the qualifications/educational groups in terms of the Well-Being and Distress categories. Regarding the groups of socioeconomic status (perceived), the results indicated statistically significant differences in terms of Distress, however, the statuses in question were not determined. Finally, there was no statistically significant relationship between psychological distress and well-being variables.
