Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
O presente estudo examinou a relação entre os estados de humor e o desempenho
em participantes de um concurso televisivo. Os participantes (N= 68; M idade = 39.43;
DP idade = 14.06) completaram uma versão portuguesa do Profile of Mood States
(POMS - Viana, Almeida & Santos, 2001) 1 hora antes do início do concurso, sendo o
desempenho (nº de respostas correctas) avaliado posteriormente. Os resultados
indicam que existe uma relação negativa entre a Tensão e a Confusão experienciadas
pelos sujeitos e o seu desempenho. Adicionalmente, verificou-se a existência de uma
relação negativa entre a hostilidade percebida e a experiência prévia dos sujeitos. De
igual forma, os resultados indicam que, para a amostra em questão, não é possível
diferenciar o desempenho dos sujeitos tendo por base os seus perfis de estados de
humor. Sugere-se que futuras investigações investiguem factores tais como a
personalidade e/ou experiências prévias que possam contribuir para as diferenças
individuais no que diz respeito à intensidade das relações estados de humordesempenho.
The present study examined the relationship between the mood states and performance among participants of a television contest. The participants (N= 68; M age = 39.43; DP age = 14.06) completed a portuguese version of the Profile of Mood States (POMS - Viana, Almeida & Santos, 2001) 1 hour before the beginning of the contest, and performance (number of correct answers) was evaluated later. The results indicated that there is a negative relationship between Tension and Confusion experienced by the subjects and their performance. Additionally, a negative relationship between perceived Hostility and previous experience was found. The results also showed that, for the participants of the present study, it is not possible to differentiate the performance of the participants having for base its profiles of mood states. It is suggested that future research is needed to investigate factors such as personality and/or previous experiences that might account for individual differences in the strength of mood-performance relationships.
