Resumo
Foi objetivo da investigação estudar o impacto da espiritualidade na expressividade
emocional e na resiliência numa amostra de 120 adultos (72,5% do sexo feminino e 27,5% do
sexo masculino), com uma média de idade 35,24 (DP=13,58), através de um protocolo
constituído pelas medidas: Questionário de Bem-Estar Espiritual (SWBQp; Gouveia, Ribeiro
& Marques 2008); Escala de Expressividade Emocional (EEE; Versão Original: Kring, Smith
& Neale, 1994; versão traduzida por Dinis, Gouveia & Xavier, 2011); Escala de
Resiliência para Adultos (ERA; Versão Original: Friborg, Hjemda, Rosevinge, &
Martinusse, 2003) versão traduzida por, Pereira, Canavarro & Narciso, 2011). Os
resultados revelaram uma correlação positiva entre a espiritualidade e a resiliência. Na
amostra masculina todas as correlações significativas foram negativas em contraste com
as correlações positivas encontradas na amostra feminina. Não se verificou nenhuma
correlação significativa entre a espiritualidade e a expressividade emocional.
Conclui-se que a espiritualidade promove competências pessoais e sociais e
integração comunitária, que por sua vez, potenciam uma atitude resiliente. Uma
orientação geral mais acentuada nas mulheres para a espiritualidade deverá constituir um
fator potenciador da resiliência. Considerou-se essencial avaliar em estudos futuros as
valências positivas e negativas das emoções e a sua expressão dentro do contexto espiritual ou
religioso.
It was the aim of this investigation to study the impact of spirituality in emotional expression and resilience, using a sample of 120 adults (72,5% females and 27,5% males), with an age average of 35,24 (DP=13,58), through the application of a research protocol that includes the following measures: the portuguese adaptation of the Spiritual Well-Being Questionnaire (SWBQp; by Gouveia, Ribeiro & Marques 2008); Emotional Expressivity Scale (EES, translated version by Dinis, Gouveia & Xavier, 2011); Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA, translated version by Pereira, Canavarro & Narciso, 2011). The results showed a positive correlation between spirituality and resilience. In the masculine sample all the significant correlations were negative in contrast with the positive correlations found in the female sample. None of the correlations between spirituality and emotional expressivity showed to be significant. It was concluded that spirituality promotes personal and social skills and community integration, which in turn, enhances a resilient attitude. Women’s accentuated general orientation towards spirituality should be a considered a promoting factor of resilience. It was considered essential to access in future studies the positive and negative aspects of emotions, as they are expressed within a spiritual or religious context.
