Abstract(s)
O presente estudo investigou a influência do cronótipo nos sintomas psicopatológicos
em adultos. O cronótipo refere-se à preferência individual por diferentes horários do
dia para a realização de diversas atividades, sendo este dividido em cronótipo matutino,
vespertino ou intermédio. A sintomatologia psicopatológica influência aspetos centrais
da vida humana. Deste modo, neste estudo iremos abordar especificamente os
sintomas de ansiedade, depressão e somatização. Os dados foram recolhidos em
formato online para alcançar uma amostra mais ampla e diversificada. Neste estudo
participaram, de forma voluntária, 160 participantes (N=160), dos quais 54 são do sexo
masculino e 106 do sexo feminino. Utilizando análise estatística descritiva e inferencial,
foram analisados os dados de um Questionário de Sintomas Psicopatológicos (BSI-18) e
da Escala de Preferências (PS-6). Os resultados indicaram que os participantes com
cronótipo matutino apresentaram valores mais elevados de ansiedade, enquanto os
sujeitos que trabalhavam por turnos mostraram tendência a apresentar maior
gravidade de sintomas depressivos. Além disso, os participantes com cronótipo
vespertino exibiram valores mais altos de somatização. No entanto, essas diferenças
não alcançaram significância estatística. Os resultados sugerem que a relação entre o
cronótipo e os sintomas psicopatológicos em adultos é complexa e pode ser
influenciada por fatores contextuais, como a natureza do trabalho e o ambiente social.
The present research studied the relationship between chronotype and psychopathological symptoms in adults. The chronotype refers to the individual preference for different times of the day to perform different routines, divided into morning, afternoon or intermediate chronotype. Psychopathological symptoms influence the main health aspects of the human being. Thus, in this study we will specifically address the symptoms of anxiety, depression and somatization. Data were collected in an online format to reach a broader and more diverse sample. In this study, we had 160 voluntary participants (N=160), of which 54 were male and 106 were female. Using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis, data from a Psychopathological Symptoms Questionnaire (BSI-18) and Preferences Scale (PS-6) were analyzed. The results indicated that participants with a morning chronotype showed higher levels of anxiety, while individuals working in shifts demonstrated a tendency towards greater severity of depressive symptoms. Additionally, participants with an evening chronotype exhibited higher levels of somatization. However, these differences did not reach statistical significance. The findings suggest that the relationship between chronotype and psychopathological symptoms in adults is complex and may be influenced by contextual factors, such as the profession and its requirements and social environment.
