Abstract(s)
Recentemente tem-se assistido ao desenvolvimento de inúmeros estudos que visam
aprofundar os conhecimentos relativos ao traço Alta Sensibilidade de Processamento Sensorial
(ASPS). A presente investigação é transversal, e com uma abordagem quantitativa, descritiva
e correlacional, propõe-se a averiguar quais as formas de agressão presentes em indivíduos
com ASPS, e se o género e a idade influenciam a passagem ao ato. Os dados foram recolhidos
através de um protocolo disponibilizado on-line que incluía a Escala de Alta Sensibilidade de
Processamento Sensorial (EASPS), versão em processo de validação à população portuguesa, e
o Questionário de Agressividade (QA). A amostra global foi de 1061 sujeitos, tendo sido
aplicados critérios de exclusão que a reduziram para 947 indivíduos, dos quais 65.8% do
género feminino, com idades entre os 18 e os 80 anos (M = 29.08, DP = 12.034). Os resultados
obtidos indicam que 67.9% dos participantes pontuaram acima da mediana teórica na EASPS,
e 8.3% revelaram pontuações acima da mediana teórica no QA. O género feminino apresenta
resultados mais elevados na EASPS e no fator raiva (QA). O género masculino apresenta
resultados mais elevados no fator agressão física (QA). Os participantes com 23 ou menos
anos de idade apresenta resultados proeminentes no QA (score total), agressão física (QA) e
hostilidade (QA). Os resultados revelam que maiores níveis de ASPS estão associados a
maiores níveis de agressão, concretamente no género feminino e nos participantes com
idades compreendidas entre os 24 e os 59 anos de idade, que maiores níveis de ASPS estão
associados a maiores níveis de hostilidade (QA), e que maiores níveis de facilidade de
excitação (EASPS) estão associados a maiores níveis de agressão (score total do QA) e
hostilidade (QA). As considerações finais demonstraram as principais contribuições da
presente investigação, bem como algumas das suas limitações, indicando-se sugestões para
estudos futuros.
Recently there has been development a numerous studies that aim to deepen the knowledge about High Sensory-Processing Sensitivity (HSPS) trait. The present investigation is transversal, and has a quantitative, descriptive and correlational approach, it is proposed to investigate the forms of aggression present in individuals with HSPS, and whether gender and age influence the passage to the act. The data was collected through an online protocol that included the High Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS), version in process of validation for the Portuguese population, and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (QA). The sample was constituted by 1061 subjects, which reduced to 947 individuals after exclusion criteria were applied, of which 65.8% were females, aged 18 to 80 years (M = 29.08, SD = 12.034). The results indicate that 67.9% of the participants scored above the theoretical median in the HSPS, and 8.3% showed scores above the theoretical median in the QA. The female gender has higher results in HSPS and in anger (QA). The male gender presents higher results in the physical aggression (QA). Participants aged 23 or under present prominent results in QA (total score), physical aggression (QA) and hostility (QA). The results show that higher levels of SPS are associated with higher levels of aggression, specifically in females and in participants aged 24-59 years, with higher levels of SPS being associated with higher levels of hostility (QA), and that higher levels of HSPS are associated with higher levels of aggression (total QA score) and hostility (QA). The final considerations demonstrated the main contributions of the present investigation, as well as some of its limitations, indicating suggestions for future studies.
