Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação foi realizada no âmbito do 2º ano do 2º ciclo de estudos em
Psicologia Clínica e da Saúde da Universidade da Beira Interior e será apresentada em
formato de artigo científico. Este projeto tem como principal objetivo avaliar a adição à
internet e sintomas ansiógenos e depressivos como fatores preditores de nomofobia
numa amostra constituída por estudantes portugueses. De forma mais específica,
pretende-se avaliar os níveis de nomofobia, de adição à internet e da sintomatologia
ansiógena e depressiva na amostra; comparar estas variáveis em função da idade, do
género e da escolaridade; correlacionar as variáveis nomofobia, adição à internet e
sintomas psicopatológicos e, por último, determinar o poder preditivo da adição à
internet, de variáveis sociodemográficas e da sintomatologia ansiógena e depressiva.
Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo, correlacional, preditivo e inferencial,
constituído por uma amostra de 661 participantes, 448 são mulheres, 209 são homens,
com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 50 anos. A maioria dos participantes são
estudantes, solteiros, licenciados, de estatuto socioeconómico médio e residentes num
pequeno meio urbano. Verifica-se que a amostra apresenta níveis moderados de
nomofobia e elevados de sintomatologia ansiógena e depressiva, sendo as mulheres e
sobretudo de idades mais novas, que obtêm pontuações mais elevadas. Da mesma
forma, percebe-se uma relação significativa entre nomofobia, adição à internet e
sintomatologia ansiógena e depressiva, verificando a adição à internet como principal
preditora de nomofobia. Na discussão, serão discutidas algumas implicações acerca da
presente investigação, bem como, algumas sugestões para investigações futuras.
This dissertation was carried out within the scope of the 2nd year of the 2nd cycle of studies in Clinical and Health Psychology at the University of Beira Interior and will be presented in the form of a scientific article. The main objective of this project is to evaluate internet addiction and symptoms of anxiety and depression as predictors of nomophobia in a sample of Portuguese students. More specifically, we intend to assess the levels of nomophobia, internet addiction and symptoms of anxiety and depression in the sample; compare these variables according to age, gender and education; correlate the variables nomophobia, internet addiction and psychopathological symptoms and, finally, determine the predictive power of internet addiction, sociodemographic variables and anxiogenic and depressive symptoms. This is a quantitative, descriptive, correlational, predictive and inferential study, consisting of a sample of 661 participants, 448 are women, 209 are men, aged between 18 and 50 years. Most participants are students, singles, graduates, middle socioeconomic status and residents of a small urban environment. It appears that the sample has moderate levels of nomophobia and high levels of anxiogenic and depressive symptoms, with women, and especially those of younger ages, obtaining higher scores. Likewise, a significant relationship can be observed between nomophobia, internet addiction and anxiogenic and depressive symptoms, verifying internet addiction as the main predictor of nomophobia. In the discussion, some implication about the present investigationare discussed, as well as some suggestions for the future.
