Abstract(s)
Nos últimos anos, o terrorismo tem ganho uma grande dimensão, no entanto, perceber porque é sujeitos que não têm qualquer tipo de ligação com o radicalismo se juntam a grupos terroristas e se envolvem em atrocidades é uma tarefa extremamente difícil.
Com este estudo, pretende-se perceber que tipo de personalidade podem ter sujeitos com crenças/ideologias fundamentalistas e a sua relação com a exibição ou adesão a comportamentos radicais.
A amostra constituiu-se por um total de 301 participantes dos quais 108 são do género masculino e 193 do género feminino, com idades compreendidas entre os 13 e 69. O questionário era constituído por quatro escalas e um inventário, sendo estes: Escala de Fundamentalismo, Inventário de Personalidade de 10 Itens, Escala de Comportamentos Radicais, Escala de Autoritarismo Puro e Escala de Autoritarismo de Extrema-Direita – Versão Reduzida.
Para testar as nossas hipóteses foram efectuadas uma série de correlações de Pearson e através da análise destas, os dados sugerem que o Fundamentalismo se correlaciona significativamente com o Autoritarismo e ambos correlacionam-se com os Comportamentos Radicais. Esta análise foi também efectuada mantendo os diferentes tipos de crença em comparação – Política, Religiosa, Desportiva e Outra (não especificada).
No fim, são discutidas as limitações do estudo e apresentadas algumas propostas para estudos futuros.
In the last years, terrorism has gained a large dimension, however, realizing why it is subjects who do not have any kind of connection with radicalism joining terrorist groups and engaging in atrocities is an extremely difficult task. With this study, we intend to perceive what kind of personality may have subjects with fundamentalist beliefs/ideologies and their relation to the display or adherence to radical behaviors. The sample consisted of a total of 301 participants, 108 of whom were male and 193 were female, aged 13-69. The questionnaire consisted of four scales and an inventory, which were as follows: Fundamentalism Scale, Ten Items Personality Inventory, Radical Behavior Scale, Pure Authoritarianism Scale and Right-Wing Authoritarianism Scale. To test our hypotheses a number of Pearson correlations were made, and through their analysis, data suggest that Fundamentalism correlates significantly with Authoritarianism and both correlate with Radical Behaviors. This analysis was also performed keeping the different types of beliefs in comparison – Political, Religious, Sportive and Other (not specified). Finally, the limitations of the study are discussed and some proposals for future studies are presented.
