O presente artigo visa a tradução e adaptação do questionário
Gender Role Expectations of Pain (GREP; Robinson
et al., 2001) numa amostra da população portuguesa.
O GREP avalia as expectativas de papel de género face a
três dimensões da experiência de dor: 1) sensibilidade;
2) tolerância; e 3) disposição para expressar dor. Para
cada uma destas dimensões os indivíduos avaliam: 1)
as percepções estereotípicas (homem típico vs. mulher
típica e vice-versa) e; 2) as percepções individuais (próprio
vs. homem/mulher típicos). O instrumento foi traduzido
e aplicado a uma amostra de conveniência, constituída
por 202 estudantes universitários/as portugueses/as (42.6%
homens; Midade = 21.8; DP = 3.06) a frequentar diversos
cursos de um Instituto Superior de Lisboa. Uma sub-amostra
de 26 estudantes (48.2% homens; M idade = 22.5; DP =
2.32) preencheu pela segunda vez o instrumento duas
semanas após a primeira aplicação. Uma análise factorial
em eixos principais extraiu os seis factores teoricamente
esperados. O instrumento apresentou índices de consistência
interna e temporal razoáveis na presente amostra.
Os conteúdos das percepções estereotípicas denotam
um favorecimento do grupo de pertença, ou seja, os homens
tendem a favorecer o homem típico enquanto as mulheres
favorecem a mulher típica. Os conteúdos das percepções
individuais denotam um maior esforço por parte dos
homens para se diferenciarem pela positiva, quer do
homem quer da mulher típicos, que as mulheres.
The goal of the present paper was the adaptation and validation of the Gender Role Expectations of Pain questionnaire (GREP; Robinson et al., 2001) in a sample of the Portuguese population. The GREP aims at evaluating gender role expectations of three dimensions of the pain experience: 1) sensitivity; 2) tolerance; and, 3) willingness to express pain. For each dimension, individuals evaluate: 1) stereotypical perceptions (typical man vs. typical woman and vice-versa), and; 2) individual perceptions (self vs. typical man/woman). The questionnaire was translated and administered to a convenience sample of 202 college students (42.6% men; M age = 21.8; SD = 3.06) at a Lisbon’s Higher Institute. A sub-sample of 26 students (48,2% men; M age = 22.5; SD = 2.32) filled out the questionnaire again two weeks after the first application. A Principal Axis Factor Analysis extracted the six theoretically predicted factors. The instrument showed reasonable levels of internal and temporal consistency. Stereotypical perceptions showed an in-group bias; men favoured the typical man while women favoured the typical woman. Individual perceptions showed a higher tendency for male participants to positively differentiate themselves from the typical man and woman as compared to female participants.
