Abstract(s)
O presente estudo procurou reflectir sobre a
presença da Alexitimia, enquanto variável psicológica
associada ao confronto com o stress, na doença física
crónica que é a Obesidade. Para tal utilizou se um
questionário para a obtenção de dados pessoais e a
Escala de Alexitimia de Toronto (TAS 20) numa
amostra de 80 sujeitos obesos do sexo feminino.
Os resultados obtidos permitiram não só identificm
a presença das características alexitímicas mas
também o seu carácter gradativo na amostra, indiciando
que este fenómeno faz parte das estrategias adaptativas
dos sujeitos no confronto imediato com a sua
condição. Verificou se também a influência da Alexitimia
na amostra através das variáveis idade e nível de
escolaridade; não havendo diferenças significativas da
média dos seus valores relativamente aos três graus de
Obesidade. Relativamente a uma amostra da população
geral, confirmou se haver uma diferença entre os
valores da Alexitimia; sendo significativa a sua presença
na população de obesos reforçando assim o carácter
protector deste fenómeno contra o significado
emocional que os sujeitos experienciam face A Obesidade.
