Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação foi concretizada no âmbito do 2º ano do 2º ciclo de estudos de
Psicologia Clínica e da Saúde da Universidade da Beira Interior, em formato de artigo
científico, sendo-lhe anexado um anexo teórico, de modo a conceptualizar e a
aprofundar teoricamente os construtos inerentes ao tema de investigação. Assim, este
projeto tem como principal objetivo a avaliação dos níveis de aceitação positiva LGB, de
autoestima, de depressão, de somatização e de ansiedade e dos estilos de vinculação,
presentes numa amostra constituída por pessoas lésbicas, gays, bissexuais e
transgéneros (LGBT). Mais especificamente, pretende-se avaliar os níveis globais de
cada uma das variáveis em estudo; comparar cada uma das variáveis em função do
género e da orientação sexual; avaliar o grau de associação entre a identidade LGB
positiva, a autoestima, a somatização, a depressão, a ansiedade e os estilos de
vinculação; e determinar o efeito preditivo das variáveis identidade, autoestima e
estilos de vinculação nos níveis de depressão e de ansiedade nesta população. Trata-se
de um estudo descritivo, correlacional e transversal, constituído por uma amostra
LGBT de 165 participantes, com idades compreendidas entre os 16 e os 77 anos, onde
151 são homens, 7 são mulheres, 3 são mulheres transexuais, 2 são homens sexuais e 2
tem uma identidade de género não especificada. A maioria dos participantes encontrase empregada, concluiu uma licenciatura ou um bacharelato, é solteira e assume-se
como homossexual. Verificou-se que a amostra evidencia níveis de depressão,
ansiedade e somatização elevados, sendo os homens transexuais os mais afetados,
seguidos dos homossexuais, ainda que estes últimos apresentem os maiores níveis de
aceitação da identidade positiva LGB e autoestima. As pessoas bissexuais apresentam,
maioritariamente, um estilo de vinculação seguro; as pessoas homossexuais e as
mulheres trans evidenciam, principalmente, os estilos de vinculação preocupado e
evitante-amedrontado; e o estilo de vinculação evitante-amedrontado é verificado,
sobretudo, nos homens e nas pessoas bissexuais. Na discussão geral, são discutidas
algumas implicações acerca da presente investigação, bem como são providenciadas
algumas sugestões para investigações futuras.
This dissertation was carried out in the scope of the 2nd year of the 2nd cycle of studies in Clinical and Health Psychology at the University of Beira Interior, in the form of a scientific article, with a theoretical annex attached to it, in order to conceptualize and theoretically deepen the constructs inherent to the research theme. Thus, this project's main objective is to assess levels of positive LGB acceptance, self-esteem, depression, somatization and anxiety and attachment styles, present in a sample of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people (LGBT). More specifically, it is intended to assess the global levels of each of the variables under study; to compare each variable according to gender and sexual orientation; assess the degree of association between positive LGB identity, self-esteem, somatization, depression, anxiety and attachment styles; and to determine the predictive effect of the variables identity, self-esteem and attachment styles on the levels of depression and anxiety in this population. This is a descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study, consisting of an LGBT sample of 165 participants, aged between 16 and 77 years, where 151 are men, 7 are women, 3 are transsexual women, 2 are sexual men and 2 has an unspecified gender identity. Most of the participants are employed, have completed a degree or a bachelor's degree, are single and assume to be homosexual. It was found that the sample shows high levels of depression, anxiety and somatization, with transsexual men being the most affected, followed by homosexuals, even though the latter show the highest levels of acceptance of positive LGB identity and self-esteem. Bisexual people mostly have a secure bonding style; homosexual people and trans women show, mainly, the styles of attachment concerned and avoiding-frightened; and the fear-avoidant bonding style is seen, above all, in men and bisexual people. In the general discussion, some implications about the present investigation are discussed, as well as some suggestions for future investigations are provided.
