Abstract(s)
A presente investigação pretendeu estudar a relação entre a frequência de experiências de Assédio Sexual e o Bem-estar Subjetivo, no contexto desportivo. Adicionalmente, pretendeu-se ainda testar se esta relação é moderada pela Resiliência e Autoestima dos atletas.
A amostra é constituída por 124 atletas de várias modalidades individuais e coletivas, com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 54 anos (M = 23.33, DP = 9.51), cujos dados foram recolhidos através da aplicação de questionários online, sendo estes constituídos pela Escala de Bem-estar Subjetivo, pela Escala de Resiliência, pela Escala de Autoestima e por algumas questões referentes ao Assédio Sexual.
Os resultados obtidos revelam que a relação entre a frequência de experiências de Assédio Sexual e o Bem-estar Subjetivo é significativamente negativa e que a Resiliência e a Autoestima moderam, parcialmente, a relação supracitada. Verificou-se ainda que o sexo dos atletas, apesar de promover algumas diferenças ao nível das variáveis estudadas (e.g., assédio sexual, resiliência e autoestima), não influenciou as moderações em estudo.
Estes resultados são importantes, porque nos dão insights sobre a prevalência do Assédio Sexual na amostra de atletas portugueses, evidenciando que ser-se vítima de Assédio Sexual pode ter um impacto negativo no bem-estar subjetivo (especialmente, para indivíduos com menos resiliência e menos autoestima). Estes resultados evidenciam assim a importância para a consciencialização desta temática, contribuindo ainda para o desenvolvimento da literatura nas áreas do Assédio Sexual, Bem-estar Subjetivo, Resiliência e Autoestima.
The present research aimed to study the relationship between the frequency of experiences of Sexual Harassment and Subjective Well-Being in the sports context. In addition, it was also intended to test whether this relationship is moderated by the athletes’ Resilience and Self-esteem. The sample is composed of 124 athletes from various individual and team sports, aged between 12 and 54 years (M = 23.33, SD = 9.51), whose data were collected through the application of online questionnaires, consisting of the Subjective Well-Being Scale, the Resilience Scale, the Self-Esteem Scale, and some questions regarding Sexual Harassment. The results obtained show that the relationship between the frequency of experiences of Sexual Harassment and Subjective Well-Being is significantly negative, and that Resilience and Self-Esteem partially moderate the relationship. It was also found that the gender of the athletes, despite promoting some differences in the variables studied (e.g., sexual harassment, resilience, and self-esteem), did not influence the moderations under study. These results are important because they give us insights into the prevalence of Sexual Harassment in the sample of Portuguese athletes, showing that being a victim of Sexual Harassment can have a negative impact on Subjective Well-being (especially for individuals with less Resilience and lower Self-esteem). These results thus highlight the importance of raising awareness of this issue, while also contributing to the development of the literature in the areas of Sexual Harassment, Subjective Well-Being, Resilience and Self-Esteem.
