Resumo
A psicologia clínica tem vindo a beneficiar do conhecimento recente, derivado de abordagens transdiagnósticas aos problemas da saúde mental, que propõem novas formas de pensar, e concetualizações alternativas, à tradicional abordagem diagnóstica. O presente estudo baseia-se nesta perspetiva, e na conceção do perfeccionismo como fator transdiagnóstico, para analisar a mediação da preocupação entre o perfeccionismo e o desajustamento emocional. Numa amostra, não clínica, de 669 participantes, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e 75 anos, foi examinado o impacto do efeito mediador da preocupação, entre as duas dimensões do perfeccionismo e as três dimensões do desajustamento emocional, constituído por estados emocionais conspícuos a uma variedade de perturbações psicológicas: os estados de depressão, de ansiedade e de stress. Na análise dos dados recolhidos, foi utilizada a macro Process e a técnica de bootstrap para o cálculo dos intervalos de confiança do efeito indireto. Os resultados confirmaram o papel mediador a preocupação, e que o impacto deste efeito mediador é diferente nas duas dimensões do perfeccionismo, sendo que as preocupações avaliativas têm uma relação mais forte com o desajustamento emocional, do que o esforço pessoal.

The present study is based on this perspective, and on the concept of perfectionism as a transdiagnostic factor, to analyze the mediation of the worry between perfectionism and emotional distress. In a non-clinical sample of 669 participants, aged between 18 and 75 years old, it was examined the impact of the mediating effect of worry between the two dimensions of perfectionism and the three dimensions of emotional distress, consisting of conspicuous emotional states in a variety of psychological disorders: states of depression, anxiety and stress. In the analysis of collected data, the macro Process and the bootstrap technique was used to calculate the confidence intervals of the indirect effect. The results confirmed the mediating role of worry, and that the impact of this mediating effect is different in the two dimensions of perfectionism, with evaluative concerns having a stronger relationship with emotional maladjustment than achievement striving.
