Na área das memórias autobiográficas poucos são os estudos realizados apenas à população de género feminino, assim, esta investigação pretende verificar se são existentes diferenças acrescentando a variável idade, ou seja, se a evocação das memórias autobiográficas a sua valência emocional e a personalidade se altera perante as diversas fases de vida das mulheres. A amostra é composta por 62 participantes, 31 sujeitos com idades variantes entre os 18 e os 30 anos e um segundo grupo com idades entre os 31 e 61 anos de idade.
A metodologia utilizada prende-se na aplicação de escalas clínicas como a Tarefa de Memórias Autobiográficas, bem como o Inventário de Depressão de Beck, Inventário de Estado Ansiedade Traço, Big Five Inventory, Questionário de Esquemas de Young, Inventário de Sintomas Psicopatológicos e a Nova Escala Multifactorial de Depressão.
Os resultados deste estudo verificaram-se contrários ao sentido esperado, sendo que não são observadas diferenças na evocação de memórias autobiográficas de valência emocional positiva entre os grupos, não são apresentados diferenças nos tempos de latência; o grupo etário mais jovem não apresenta um maior número de evocações. Por fim, não existe um aumento da Amabilidade, Conscienciosidade com o aumento da idade, assim como não existe relação entre este aumento
In the area of autobiographical memories few studies are conducted only to the female population, so this research intends to verify if there are differences adding the age variable, that is, if the evocation of autobiographical memories their emotional valence and personality changes in different stages of life of women. The sample it is composed by 62 participants, 31 subjects with ages varying between 18 and 30 years and a second group with ages between 31 and 61 years of age. The methodology used is the application of clinical scales such as the Autobiographical Memories Task, as well as the Beck Depression Inventory, State Anxiety Trait Inventory, Big Five Inventory, Young Scheme Questionnaire, Inventory of Psychopathological Symptoms and the New Multifactorial Depression Scale. The results of this study were contrary to the expected meaning, and no differences were observed in the evocation of autobiographical memories of positive emotional valence between the groups, no differences were presented in the latency times; The younger age group does not present a greater number of evocations. Finally, there is no increase in Kindness, Conscientiousness with increasing age, as there is no relationship between this increase and the reduction of the dimensions of Neuroticism, Extroversion and Openness to Experience.
