Abstract(s)
A espontaneidade e as suas ligações à saúde mental e ao bem-estar são uma componente central quer na teoria quer na prática do psicodrama, e a literatura especializada associa a presença de patologia à falta de espontaneidade.
Nesta tese, apresentam-se alguns aspetos teóricos da espontaneidade na teoria de Moreno, discute-se a sua avaliação, a sua associação a outras medidas, bem como a outros conceitos teoricamente próximos da espontaneidade e, finalmente, a investigação mais recente e a necessidade de conceptualização teórica do SAI-R, bem como da possibilidade de uma estrutura a 3 fatores desta medida. Sobre a medida da avaliação da espontaneidade elencam-se alguns dos resultados obtidos em estudos em língua inglesa do SAI-R e apresentam-se os estudos da sua validação para a população portuguesa. No estudo participaram no total 2940 indivíduos [(Mulheres =1659; 56.4%); (Homens=1281; 43.6%)]. A idade média dos participantes foi de 28.5 anos (DP = 7.51) e as idades variaram entre 18 e os 69 anos. Os dados foram recolhidos através de uma plataforma online de uma empresa de estudos de mercado portuguesa.
Os resultados permitiram a validação do SAI-R para o contexto português, tendo-se confirmado a estrutura unifatorial. Por fim, foram testadas a fiabilidade compósita e a validade convergente, bem como a validade cruzada. Os resultados também revelaram a plausibilidade de remoção do item 7, "Eufórico". Mostrou-se ainda que o modelo a 3 fatores tem validade aceitável, confirmando a fiabilidade compósita, a validade convergente, mas não confirma a validade discriminante. Através da análise multigrupos o modelo mostrou ser estável. Apesar de serem necessários mais estudos com populações clínicas, o SAI-R apresenta-se como um instrumento curto e válido para aplicar em contextos clínicos e não clínicos quando se pretende avaliar a espontaneidade.
Spontaneity and its connections to mental health and wellbeing are a central issue in both theory and practice of psychodrama, and the specialized literature sometimes even associates the presence of pathology to a lack of spontaneity. This thesis presents the theoretical aspects of spontaneity in Moreno's theory, including, its assessment, the association with other measures and concepts and scientific advances in the field. Specifically, concerning spontaneity assessment inventory, both some of the results obtained in studies with the English-language version and some validation studies for the Portuguese population. In the validation of the SAI-R for the Portuguese context, we verified the factorial structure with 719 subjects, divided in two independent samples. The participants were aged 18 to 69. Globally, 2940 individuals participated in the study [(Women =1659; 56.4%); (Men=1281; 43.6%)]. The mean age of participants was 28.5 years (SD = 7.51) and ages ranged between 18 and 69 years. Data collection was through an online platform of a Portuguese market research company. The results allowed the validation of the SAI-R for the Portuguese context, confirming its unifactorial structure. Complementary, composite reliability and convergent validity, as well as cross-validity, were verified. The results also revealed that removing item 7. Euphoric is feasible. The results also revealed that the 3-factor model has acceptable validity, confirming the composite reliability, the convergent validity, but not the discriminant validity. Through multigroup analysis, the model shown to be stable. Notwithstanding the need for complementary studies including clinical samples, the SAI-R is a short and valid instrument in clinical and non-clinical contexts when evaluating spontaneity.
