Resumo(s)
O presente estudo procurou compreender as relações entre a vinculação, a regulação emocional e o estigma da surdez. Participaram 22 adultos com experiência de surdez, que responderam a um questionário online composto por medidas sociodemográficas, do Measures of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Stigma (MEPIS-DHH), do Experiences in Close Relationships – Relationship Structures Questionnaire (ECR-RS), do Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) e do Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ). Os resultados revelaram níveis de consistência interna adequados em todos os instrumentos. Verificou-se que a segurança nas relações de vinculação se associou a maior utilização de estratégias adaptativas de regulação emocional, particularmente a reavaliação cognitiva, e a uma menor utilização da supressão emocional. De forma inesperada, níveis mais elevados de segurança na vinculação também se associaram a níveis mais elevados de experiência, perceção e internalização de estigma, sugerindo que a vivência do estigma e simbolização do mesmo, poderá depender da abertura emocional. A regressão hierárquica indicou que a segurança na vinculação explicou 52,3% da variância da internalização do estigma, enquanto a reavaliação cognitiva apresentou um contributo marginalmente significativo. Estes resultados sustentam a relevância das relações de vinculação e da regulação emocional na forma como o estigma é vivido e integrado, sublinhando a importância de uma perspetiva relacional na compreensão da surdez.
The present study aimed to understand the relationships between attachment, emotion regulation, and deafness-related stigma. Twenty-two adults with experience of deafness participated by completing an online questionnaire that included sociodemographic measures, the Measures of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Stigma (MEPIS-DHH), the Experiences in Close Relationships – Relationship Structures Questionnaire (ECR-RS), the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), and the Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ). Results revealed adequate internal consistency across all instruments. Attachment security was associated with greater use of adaptive emotion regulation strategies, particularly cognitive reappraisal, and lower use of emotional suppression. Unexpectedly, higher attachment security was also associated with higher levels of experienced, perceived, and internalized stigma, suggesting that the experience and symbolization of stigma may depend on emotional openness. Hierarchical regression indicated that attachment security explained 52.3% of the variance in stigma internalization, while cognitive reappraisal made a marginally significant contribution. These results support the relevance of attachment relationships and emotion regulation in how stigma is experienced and integrated, emphasizing the importance of a relational perspective in understanding deafness.
