- Cheguei primeiro! Autoctonia e nostalgia nacional como mecanismos de redução do preconceitoPublication . Reis, Nivalda Novo; Guerra, RitaResumo: Este estudo explorou novos mecanismos através dos quais o modelo da identidade endogrupal comum melhora as atitudes intergrupais (Gaertner & Dovidio, 2000). Especificamente, explorou-se se representações identitárias mais inclusivas de grupo único e de dupla identidade melhoram as atitudes intergrupais, através da redução da nostalgia nacional, da autoctonia e das emoções intergrupais negativas, relativamente a 3 grupos de imigrantes a residir em Portugal (i.e., africanos, brasileiros e ucranianos). Participaram neste estudo 305 participantes de origem portuguesa, que preencheram um questionário com as medidas de interesse. Os resultados revelaram que, tal como esperado, a representação identitária de grupo único esteve associada a atitudes intergrupais mais positivas (i.e., verificou-se uma diminuição da distância social e aumento dos sentimentos positivos), através da redução da autoctonia e das emoções intergrupais negativas. No entanto, contrariamente ao esperado, as representações identitárias inclusivas não estiveram associadas a atitudes positivas, através da redução da nostalgia nacional. Este trabalho mostrou, pela primeira vez, que identidades inclusivas são uma estratégia que pode reduzir a adesão a argumentos autóctones, promovendo assim atitudes mais positivas e uma integração bem-sucedida dos imigrantes que chegam à Europa.
- Cyberbullying em Portugal durante a pandemia: 2ºconfinamentoPublication . António, Raquel; Guerra, Rita; Moleiro, CarlaA utilização de plataformas digitais está associada a diversos benefícios (e.g., aumento do bem-estar pessoal), mas o cyberbullying é um dos riscos mais comuns associados à mesma. O cyberbullying consiste na utilização da tecnologia para assediar, ameaçar ou vitimizar outra pessoa de forma repetida e intencional. Este tipo de bullying realizado através de meios digitais pode acontecer em qualquer lugar e a qualquer hora, para além dos portões das escolas; possibilita o anonimato do/a agressor(a) e pode gerar diversos efeitos negativos nas vítimas, como ansiedade. Em 2020, um estudo realizado em Portugal relativo ao 1º período de confinamento obrigatório e de ensino à distância revelou que 61% dos jovens afirmavam ter sido vítimas de cyberbullying e que oito em cada dez foi testemunha deste tipo de comportamento online[1]. Em Portugal, o relatório EU Kids Online 2019, que inquiriu jovens entre os 9 e 17 anos, revelou que o cyberbullying predomina sobre o bullying tradicional (presencial). Mais de um quinto dos que sofre deste tipo de agressão indicou que esta ocorre várias vezes por mês, através de chamadas, mensagens ou por outra via. Durante o período de confinamento decorrente da pandemia da Covid-19, vários especialistas alertam para o facto de milhões de crianças e jovens terem sido afectadas pelo fecho de escolas, passando a ter aulas e socializar mais online, deixando-as mais vulneráveis e expostas a serem vítimas de cyberbullying. A principal contribuição deste estudo é analisar a frequência de cyberbullying em jovens portugueses durante o 2º período de confinamento obrigatório decorrente da pandemia do coronavírus, ou seja, entre janeiro e abril de 2021.
- Imagined and extended contact experiences and adolescent bystanders' behavioral intentions in homophobic bullying episodesPublication . António, Raquel; Guerra, Rita; Cameron, Lindsey; Moleiro, CarlaBystanders' helping interventions in bias‐based bullying are rare, although they have the potential to intervene on behalf of the victim and quickly stop the aggression. Two studies tested, experimentally, the impact of adolescents' imagined (Study 1, N = 113, Mage = 16.17) and extended contact experiences (Study 2, N = 174, Mage = 15.79) on assertive bystanders' behavioral intentions in the context of homophobic bullying, an under‐ researched but highly detrimental behavior that emerges mainly during early adolescence. Potential mediators (empathic concern, social contagion concerns, and masculinity/ femininity threat) were also examined. Results showed that female younger participants revealed more behavioral intentions to help victims of homophobic bullying when asked to imagine an interaction with an outgroup member (Study 1). Younger participants revealed less masculinity/femininity threat in the positive extended contact condition, and female participants revealed less empathic concern in the negative extended contact condition (Study 2). Overall, these findings identify specific conditions (e.g., younger females) where indirect contact interventions (i.e., extended and imagined) are likely to have a stronger impact. Age and sex differences were found to illustrate how adolescents vary in their behavioral intentions, empathic concern, and threat; and also highlight the need to further examine age and sex differences regarding responses to homophobic bullying episodes.
