Resumo
O fenómeno de discriminação socioeconómica é uma forma de discriminação cada vez mais
presente nas sociedades contemporâneas. O crescente acentuar da polarização
socioeconómica entre uns e outros, num mundo cada vez mais competitivo, menos
cooperante, tem favorecido o aumento acentuado da exclusão social.
No presente estudo procurou-se compreender a forma como a experiência de vitimação
decorrente da perceção de discriminação socioeconómica é subjetivamente construída em
contexto de vulnerabilidade socioeconómica, à luz do modelo ecológico e das abordagens
narrativas. O estudo envolveu 4 adultos, 3 do sexo masculino e 1 do feminino, com os quais
se procedeu à aplicação de uma entrevista semi-estruturada com base na qual se procurou
avaliar o impacto do tratamento discriminatório recebido no contacto de proximidade do
indivíduo com as várias esferas sociais, bem como avaliar a perceção individual da qualidade
de vida em contexto de vulnerabilidade socioeconómica.
De acordo com a literatura, para a compreensão da formação das identidades sociais e das
representações sociais por parte dos indivíduos, há que ter em conta os fatores individuais,
sociais e culturais que rodeiam os indivíduos, no tempo e no espaço. Neste estudo
propusemo-nos perceber a perceção que os indivíduos têm sobre a sua realidade-condição e
o sentido que a mesma assume para eles, e compreender as atitudes e comportamentos que
apresentam perante situações de discriminação socioeconómica. Os resultados deste estudo
ajudam a perceber a intersubjetividade inerente aos conceitos em estudo, nomeadamente na
relação como são percecionados, significados e operacionalizados pelos participantes. Os
participantes mencionam alterações nas relações interpessoais e intrapessoais decorrentes da
exclusão social. Os participantes apontam alterações de ordem estrutural, nomeadamente de
facilitação ao acesso a serviços de apoio instrumental por parte dos mais vulneráveis
socioeconomicamente, bem como alterações de caráter individual e educacional dos
excluídos e de quem os exclui.
The phenomenon of socio-economic discrimination is a form of discrimination that is increasingly present in contemporary societies. The growing accentuation of socio-economic polarization between the two, in an increasingly competitive, less cooperative world, has favored a sharp increase in social exclusion. In the present study we tried to understand how the experience of victimization resulting from the perception of socio-economic discrimination is subjectively constructed in a context of socio-economic vulnerability, in light of the ecological model and narrative approaches. The study involved 4 adults, 3 males and 1 females, with whom a semistructured interview was carried out, based on which the impact of the discriminatory treatment received in the proximity contact of the individual with the various social spheres, as well as evaluating the individual perception of quality of life in a context of socioeconomic vulnerability. According to the literature, to understand the formation of social identities and social representations by individuals, it is necessary to take into account the individual, social and cultural factors that surround individuals in time and space. In this study we proposed to perceive the individuals' perception of their reality-condition and the meaning it assumes for them, and to understand the attitudes and behaviors that they present in situations of socioeconomic discrimination. The results of this study help to understand the intersubjectivity inherent to the concepts under study, namely in the relation how they are perceived, meaning and operationalized by the participants. Participants mention changes in the interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships resulting from social exclusion. The participants point out structural changes, such as facilitating access to instrumental support services by the most vulnerable socioeconomically, as well as changes in the individual and educational character of the excluded and those who exclude them.
