Abstract(s)
O estudo apresentado relacionou o reconhecimento de faces, que permite distinguir
conhecidos e desconhecidos e aceder a informações sobre rostos familiares, o qual é
imprescindível no quotidiano, e alexitimia, que se carateriza pela dificuldade do indivíduo em
descrever as emoções em si próprio ou nos outros. Ainda que diversos estudos se tenham
debruçado sobre o estudo da alexitimia, são poucos os que se relacionam com o
reconhecimento de faces neutras.
Para o protocolo de investigação deste projeto foram aplicadas as escalas Toronto
Alexithymia Scale 20-item e a The Glasgow Face Matching Test modificada, a uma amostra de
conveniência de 75 alunos do Ensino Secundário, com idades compreendidas entre 15 e os 20
anos, com 61.3% do género feminino. Este projeto focou-se na manipulação do intervalo de
tempo interestímulos, de modo a reduzir as expetativas dos sujeitos.
Os resultados mostraram que quando maior o intervalo de tempo entre os estímulos, maior o
tempo de resposta; contudo não se tiram conclusões relativamente à taxa de acerto.
The presented study related facial recognition, which allows distinguishing known and unknown and accessing information about familiar faces, and is essential in everyday life, and alexithymia, which is characterized by the individual's difficulty in describing emotions in himself or in others. Although several studies have focused on the study of alexithymia, few related to facial recognition using neutral faces. The Toronto Alexithymia Scale 20-item and the modified The Glasgow Face Matching Test were applied to the research protocol for this project, to a convenience sample of 75 High School students, aged between 15 and 20, 61.3 % female. This project focused on manipulating the interstimulus interval, in order to reduce the subjects' expectations. The results showed that the longer the interval between stimuli, the longer the response time; however, no conclusions are drawn regarding the accuracy rate.
