Abstract(s)
A espontaneidade é um conceito controverso tanto na sua definição quanto nas
suas implicações para a prática clínica. Presentemente, cada vez mais surge o
interesse do papel que variáveis como a ansiedade, a depressão e o stress poderão ter
na saúde mental e no bem estar. O presente estudo tem como objetivo entender as
correlações entre a espontaneidade, a ansiedade, a depressão e o stress, efetuando
também comparações entre as mesmas, o género, as habilitações literárias e outras
variáveis. Para tal, recolheu-se uma amostra de 439 adultos, entre os 18 e os 64 anos
de idade (M= 25.55), no ISPA - Instituto Universitário de Ciências Psicológicas,
Sociais e da Vida (ISPA-IU), na Faculdade de Motricidade Humana (FMH) e através
de um formulário online. A espontaneidade foi medida através do Revised
Spontaneity Assessment Inventory (SAI-R) e a ansiedade, a depressão e o stress
foram medidos através da escala de Ansiedade, Depressão e Stress (EADS- 21). A
espontaneidade, teve uma correlação significativa negativa com a ansiedade a
depressão e o stress. A ansiedade, a depressão e o stress tiveram entre si correlação
significativa positiva. Os resultados reforçaram a relevância da espontaneidade em
contexto clinico e enquanto moderadora de estados de ansiedade, depressão e stress, o
que contribui para um maior aprofundamento a nível do conhecimento da saúde
mental.
Spontaneity is a controversial concept both in its definition and its implications for clinical practice. Presently, there is a growing interest in the role that variables such as anxiety, depression and stress may play in mental health and wellbeing. This study aims to understand the correlations between spontaneity, anxiety, depression and stress, also making comparisons between them, gender, educational attainment and other variables. To this end, a sample of 439 adults between 18 and 64 years old (M= 25.55) was collected at ISPA - University Institute of Psychological, Social and Life Sciences (ISPA-IU), at the Faculty of Motricity (FMH) and through an online form. Spontaneity was measured using the Revised Spontaneity Assessment Inventory (SAI-R) and anxiety, depression and stress were measured using the Anxiety, Depression and Stress Scale (EADS-21). Spontaneity had a significant negative correlation with anxiety, depression and stress. Anxiety, depression and stress had a significant positive correlation. The results reinforced the relevance of spontaneity in the clinical context and, as moderator of anxiety, depression and stress states, or which contributes to a deeper understanding of mental health.
