Abstract(s)
A relação que a música exerce na memória tem suscitado várias abordagens e interpretações. O interesse pelo tema tem vindo a evidenciar-se nos últimos anos entre a comunidade científica sobre diversos contextos, populações clínicas ou com características particulares, sendo em Portugal uma área de investigação recente. Este estudo realizado em laboratório possui um carácter experimental. Como metodologia utilizada, procedeu-se à aplicação do Inventário de Sintomas Psicopatológicos, o Inventário de Depressão de Beck, o Inventário de Ansiedade Estado e Traço, a Escala de Avaliação Emocional e a Escala Aceitando o Passado/ Relembrando o Passado e dois estímulos musicais distintos, que procuram induzir estados emocionais específicos no sujeito – tristeza e alegria. O objectivo, compreender de que forma influenciam a valência emocional das memórias autobiográficas evocadas perante a tarefa de Memória Autobiográfica. Os resultados demonstram que, em ambas as amostras os participantes invocaram mais memórias autobiográficas de valência emocional positiva, o que não permite a linearidade entre o procedimento de indução do humor e relação entre a valência das memórias. Concluímos que o processo de indução de humor e memória é um tema complexo que exige uma abordagem aprofundada no seu entendimento e concepção, particularmente na indução de estados de tristeza nos sujeitos. Contudo, encontramos evidências que suportam a noção de congruência entre indução de estados de humor positivos e evocação de memórias autobiográficas de valência positiva.
The relationship between music and memory has aroused several approaches and interpretations. Interest in this subject has been evident in the last years among the scientific community on diverse contexts, clinical populations or with particular characteristics, being in Portugal a recent area of research. This laboratory study has an experimental character. As a methodology were applied, the Brief Symptom Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory, the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Emotional Assessment Scale and the Accepting the Past/ Recalling the Past Scale, and two different musical stimuli, who seek to induce specific emotional states in the subject - sadness and joy. The purpose is, to understand how they influence the emotional valence of the autobiographical memories evoked towards of Autobiographical Memory task. The results reflect that, in both samples the participants invoked more autobiographical memories of positive valence, which does not allow the linearity between the mood induction procedure and the relation between the memory valences. We conclude that the process of mood induction and memory is a complex subject that requires a thorough approach in its understanding and conception, particularly in the induction of states such as sadness in the subjects. However, we find evidence supporting the notion of congruence between induction of positive mood states and recall of autobiographical memories of positive valence.
