Resumo(s)
A população LGBTQ+ enfrenta desafios significativos que podem comprometer o seu Bem-estar Psicológico, devido ao estigma social, discriminação e dificuldades associadas à afirmação da identidade de género e da orientação sexual e, portanto, compreender os fatores que promovem o Bem-estar desta população é essencial. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar o papel da Flexibilidade Psicológica e da Autocompaixão no Bem-estar Psicológico de pessoas LGBTQ+ em Portugal. Participaram 100 adultos LGBTQ+, que responderam a um questionário online composto pela Escala de Medida de Manifestação de Bem-estar Psicológico (EMMBEP), Escala de Aceitação e Ação (AAQ-II) e Escala de Autocompaixão (SCS), validadas para a população portuguesa. Os resultados mostraram que ambas as variáveis estão positivamente associadas ao Bem-estar Psicológico. A Autocompaixão desempenhou um papel mediador parcial na relação entre a Flexibilidade Psicológica e o Bem-estar, mas não atuou como moderadora dessa relação; a mediação sobre autoestima e envolvimento social não foi significativa. Não se observaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas quanto à identidade de género ou à orientação sexual. Os resultados evidenciam a importância da Flexibilidade Psicológica e da Autocompaixão como processos centrais para a promoção do Bem-estar Psicológico da população LGBTQ+. Os achados reforçam a importância de promover competências de Flexibilidade Psicológica e de Autocompaixão através de intervenções clínicas específicas e políticas inclusivas. Recomenda-se, para investigações futuras, a utilização de amostras maiores e mais diversas, de metodologias longitudinais e de instrumentos psicométricos validados para minorias sexuais e de género.
The LGBTQ+ population faces significant challenges that can compromise their psychological well-being due to social stigma, discrimination, and difficulties associated with affirming gender identity and sexual orientation. Therefore, understanding the factors that promote the well-being of this population is essential. The present study aimed to analyze the role of psychological flexibility and self-compassion in the psychological well-being of LGBTQ+ people in Portugal. One hundred LGBTQ+ adults participated, responding to an online questionnaire consisting of the Psychological Well-being Manifestation Measurement Scale (EMMBEP), the Acceptance and Action Scale (AAQ-II), and the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), validated for the portuguese population. The results showed that both variables are positively associated with Psychological Well-being. Self-compassion played a partial mediating role in the relationship between Psychological Flexibility and Well-being, but did not act as a moderator of this relationship; mediation on self-esteem and social involvement was not significant. No statistically significant differences were observed in terms of gender identity or sexual orientation. The results highlight the importance of Psychological Flexibility and Self-Compassion as central processes for promoting the Psychological Well-being of the LGBTQ+ population. The results highlight the importance of Psychological Flexibility and Self-Compassion as central processes for promoting the Psychological Well-being of the LGBTQ+ population. The findings reinforce the importance of promoting Psychological Flexibility and Self-Compassion skills through specific clinical interventions and inclusive policies. For future research, the use of larger and more diverse samples and longitudinal methodologies is recommended.
