Abstract(s)
Este estudo pretende avaliar a relação entre a criatividade
e as razões que levam ao consumo de heroína e
haxixe. Para avaliar as situações que levam ao consumo
de drogas, é utilizada uma escala construída a partir
do instrumento Inventory of Drug-Taking Situations
(IDTS; Turner, Annis, Sklar, 1997); para avaliar a
criatividade é utilizada uma escala construída a partir
do instrumento The Physiognomic Cue Test (PCT;
Stein, 1975). Participam neste estudo 126 indivíduos
(63 consumidores de heroína e 63 consumidores de haxixe).
Os resultados obtidos mostram que os consumidores
de heroína referem mais situações negativas de
consumo que os consumidores de haxixe, não existindo
diferenças, nos dois grupos, em relação a situações
positivas que levam ao consumo. Relativamente à
criatividade verifica-se uma relação positiva entre a
sua vertente afectiva e o consumo de haxixe, e uma relação
negativa entre a vertente cognitiva e o consumo
de heroína. Não foi encontrada relação entre a criatividade
e o tipo de situação que leva ao consumo.
O estudo revelou-se importante na análise das situações
que levam ao consumo e do papel do desenvolvimento
da criatividade como via possível da reabilitação
de consumidores de heroína.
ABSTRACT: This study aims at elaborating on the connection between creativity and the reasons that lead to the use of heroin and cannabis. One hundred twenty six subjects (63 heroin users and 63 cannabis users) filled in a Portuguese version, adapted from the Inventory of Drug-Taking Situations (IDTS; Turner, Annis, Sklar, 1997), to evaluate the situations that lead to drug consumption; and an adaptation of The Physiognomic Cue Test (PCT; Stein, 1975), to evaluate their creativity. The results show that heroin users make reference to more negative situations than cannabis users, while there are no differences between both groups as to positive circumstances that lead to drug consumption. As to creativity, we found a positive correlation between the «feeling» (affective) subscale and cannabis use; and a negative relationship between the «action» (cognitive) subscale and heroin use. No relationship 397 was found between creativity and the situation that leads to drug use. The study provided important data to the analysis of the situations that lead to drug consumption, and to the role of creativity as a possible way to rehabilitate heroin users.
