Abstract(s)
É certo o vastíssimo historial de estudos no campo das memórias autobiográficas, no
entanto, poucos se empenharam em entrelaçar passado, presente e futuro. O que nos
propusemos nesta investigação foi estudar as memórias autobiográficas e a forma como estas
influenciam a construção do futuro. A amostra foi constituída por 82 participantes com
ausência de patologia e idades compreendidas entre os 20 e os 60 anos. A metodologia
prendeu-se principalmente com a aplicação de uma nova tarefa chamada Tarefa “Eu Sou e
“Eu Serei” e através de escalas clínicas como a Escala de Avaliação Emocional (EAS),
Aceitando o Passado/ Relembrando o Passado (ACPAST/REM), Inventário de Depressão de
Beck (BDI), Inventário de Ansiedade Estado e Traço – Forma Y (STAI-Y) e o Questionário
de Esquemas de Young (YSQ). As conclusões gerais deste estudo foram que quando os
sujeitos têm memórias de valência emocional negativa sobre o seu passado e não as elaboram
de forma coesa não se conseguem imaginar tão facilmente no futuro, pois não existe uma
completa aceitação do passado. Nesta linha de pensamento a sintomatologia ansiosa,
depressiva e os esquemas desadaptativos aumentam, estando mais presentes nestes sujeitos,
bem como emoções de medo, culpa e tristeza. Já os sujeitos que se caracterizam com uma
valência emocional positiva têm valores mais elevados de aceitação do seu passado e ausência
de qualquer tipo de sintomatologia bem como menores valores em emoções como a raiva e a
tristeza.
It is true that the history of studies in the field of autobiographical memories is vast, however, there are few studies that interweave past, present and future. Our aim in this investigation was to study autobiographical memories and how they influence the construction of the future. The sample consisted of 82 participants with no pathology, between 20 and 60 years old. The methodology was mainly focused on the application of a new task called "I Am" and "I Will Be" Task, and clinical scales such as the Emotional Assessment Scale (EAS), Accepting the Past/Reminiscing the Past (ACPAST/REM), Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory – Form Y (STAI-Y) and the Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ) were also applied to the sample. The general conclusions of this study were that when participants have memories of negative emotional valence about their past and do not elaborate them in a cohesive way they can not be imagined so easily in the future, since there is no complete acceptance of the past. In this line of thought the anxious, depressive symptoms and maladaptive schemes increase, as well as emotions of fear, guilt and sadness. On the other hand, the participants that are characterized by a positive emotional valence have higher values of acceptance of their past and absence of any type of symptomatology as well as lower values in emotions such as anger and sadness.
