Abstract(s)
Este estudo aprofunda o conhecimento sobre a relação entre masculinidade tradicional e
ideação suicida, ao explorar os fatores contribuidores para a compreensão do seu efeito.
Neste sentido, procurámos testar o papel mediador da intenção de procura de ajuda
(formal e informal), da pertença a múltiplos grupos e da satisfação na associação entre
normas específicas de masculinidade tradicional (controlo emocional e autossuficiência)
e ideação suicida. Este estudo contou com 169 participantes que se identificavam com o
género masculino. Os resultados confirmaram uma correlação entre autossuficiência e
ideação suicida, assim como o efeito mediador da intenção de procura de ajuda, que
inesperadamente apresentou resultados contraditórios ao nível das fontes de ajuda: a
intenção de procura de ajuda informal apresentou uma correlação negativa com a ideação
suicida e a intenção de procura de ajuda formal uma correlação positiva. Adicionalmente,
as variáveis relacionadas com a pertença grupal ou com a satisfação na relação não
contribuíram para a explicação do efeito entre as duas variáveis em análise. Estes
resultados destacam a importância de considerar a complexa relação entre os níveis de
autossuficiência, a intenção de procura de ajuda e a ideação suicida na intervenção clínica
com indivíduos do género masculino.
ABSTRACT: This study deepens knowledge about the relationship between traditional masculinity and suicidal ideation, by exploring the factors that contribute to understanding its effect. In this regard, we sought to ascertain the mediating role of help-seeking intention (formal and informal), multiple group membership and relationship satisfaction in the association between specific norms of traditional masculinity (emotional control and self-reliance) and suicidal ideation. This study included 169 participants who identified as male. The results confirmed a correlation between self-reliance and suicidal ideation, as well as the mediating effect of help-seeking intention, that unexpectedly presented contradictory results in terms of sources of help: the informal help-seeking intention presented a negative correlation with suicidal ideation and the formal help-seeking intention a positive correlation. Additionally, variables related to group membership or relationship satisfaction did not contribute to explaining the effect between the two variables under analysis. These results highlight the importance of taking in consideration the complex relationship between levels of self-reliance, help-seeking intention and suicidal ideation in clinical intervention with male individuals.
