Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação integra o projeto “Sintomatologia Psicopatológica e memória de
trabalho”, conduzido em Portugal, cujo objetivo geral é avaliar como sintomas
psicopatológicos como ansiedade e a depressão se relacionam com alterações na
memória de trabalho. Esta será apresentada em formato de artigo científico escrito em
português. O objetivo específico deste estudo é avaliar se os níveis de sintomatologia
depressiva têm impacto no desempenho do subcomponente buffer episódico da
memória de trabalho. Este estudo pode ser classificado como experimental/quasiexperimental, uma vez que permite a determinação de um objeto de estudo, a seleção
de variáveis capazes de influenciá-lo, a definição de formas de controle e de observação
dos efeitos que cada variável produz no objeto de estudo. Para a recolha dos dados
foram utilizadas medidas como o Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) e o questionário
sociodemográfico. Com um total de 111 participantes, as idades dos mesmos situam-se
entre os 18 e os 52 anos, sendo que a média de idades é 23.4. Mais de metade dos
participantes são do género feminino (71.2%) e 28.8% são do género masculino. Para
além do artigo científico, a presente dissertação inclui, ainda, um enquadramento
teórico mais alargado, no qual são explorados de forma mais detalhada todos os
conceitos relativos à memória de trabalho, à sintomatologia depressiva e à relação
existente entre estas duas concetualizações, de forma a aprofundar e consolidar os
fundamentos teóricos presentes no artigo.
This dissertation is part of the project “Psychopathological Symptomatology and working memory”, conducted in Portugal, whose general objective is to evaluate how psychopathological symptoms such as anxiety and depression relate to changes in working memory. This will be presented in the format of a scientific article written in Portuguese. The specific objective of this study is to assess whether the levels of depressive symptoms have an impact on the performance of the episodic buffer subcomponent of working memory. This study can be classified as experimental/quasiexperimental, since it allows the determination of an object of study, the selection of variables capable of influencing it, the definition of forms of control and observation of the effects that each variable produces on the study object. For data collection, measures such as the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) and the sociodemographic questionnaire were used. With a total of 111 participants, their ages are between 18 and 52 years old, and the average age is 23.4. More than half of the participants are female (71.2%) and 28.8% are male. In addition to the scientific article, this dissertation also includes a broader theoretical framework, in which all concepts related to working memory, depressive symptoms and the relationship between these two conceptualizations are explored in more detail. to deepen and consolidate the theoretical foundations present in the article.
