Introdução: A saúde mental é um aspeto intrínseco e essencial na vida dos
indivíduos, pois influencia o pensamento, sentimento e comportamento das
pessoas. A personalidade e a regulação emocional são fatores que influenciam a
saúde mental, afetando áreas da vida pessoal, profissional e familiar. Objetivo: O
estudo teve como objetivo investigar a relação entre os traços de personalidade e os
objetivos de regulação emocional na saúde mental de adultos, analisando fatores
sociodemográficos. Método: Foi aplicado um questionário sociodemográfico, o
inventário de personalidade Big Five a escala dos objetivos de regulação emocional
e o inventário de saúde mental a uma amostra de conveniência com 300 adultos.
Resultados: Foram encontradas correlações positivas entre a saúde mental e a
abertura à experiência, conscienciosidade, extroversão, objetivo de performance,
pro-hedónicos e pro-sociais e, correlações negativas entre a saúde mental e o
neuroticismo e objetivos contra-hedónicos. Adicionalmente, a interação entre o
traço de abertura à experiência e objetivo pro-hedónico revelou ser um fator
significativo associado à saúde mental dos adultos, como ainda a interação entre o
traço de neuroticismo e objetivos contra-hedónicos revelou ser um fator negativo
associado aos níveis de saúde mental. Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem a
relevância de como níveis mais elevados de certos traços de personalidade, em
conjunto com objetivos adaptativos de regulação emocional, podem afetar os níveis
de saúde mental de uma amostra da população adulta em Portugal. Os resultados,
permitem sugerir que futuras investigações analisem se outras dimensões da
personalidade também podem estar associadas aos objetivos de regulação
emocional.
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Mental health is an intrinsic and essential aspect of people's lives, as it influences how they think, feel and behave. Personality and emotional regulation are factors that influence mental health, affecting areas of personal, professional and family life. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between personality traits and emotional regulation goals in the mental health of adults, analyzing sociodemographic factors. Method: A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Big Five personality inventory, the emotional regulation goals scale and the mental health inventory were administered to a convenience sample of 300 adults. Results: Positive correlations were found between mental health and openness to experience, conscientiousness, extroversion, performance goals, prohedonic and pro-social goals and negative correlations between mental health and neuroticism and counter-hedonic goals. In addition, the interaction between the trait of openness to experience and pro-hedonic goals proved to be a significant factor associated with the mental health of adults, while the interaction between the trait of neuroticism and counter-hedonic goals proved to be a negative factor associated with levels of mental health. Conclusion: The results suggest how higher levels of certain personality traits, in conjunction with adaptive emotion regulation goals, may affect the mental health levels of a sample of the adult population in Portugal. The results suggest that future research should examine whether other personality dimensions may also be associated with emotion regulation goals.
