Abstract(s)
Para estudar a influência das variáveis idade,
inteligência, memória, ansiedade geral e desejabilidade
social na sugestionabilidade avaliaram-se crianças de 8
e 9 anos de idade com o Bonn Test of Statement
Suggestibility (BTSS). Em 145 crianças averiguou-se o
efeito das variáveis memória e inteligência não verbal
e, numa subamostra de 74 crianças, para além das
variáveis referidas, considerou-se também a
inteligência verbal, ansiedade geral e desejabilidade
social. As crianças de 8 anos são mais sugestionáveis
do que as crianças mais velhas. No grupo dos 8 anos,
aquelas com melhores desempenhos ao nível da
inteligência não verbal (medida pelas Matrizes
Progressivas Coloridas de Raven – MPCR), e na
evocação da história do BTSS são menos
sugestionáveis comparativamente às crianças com
piores desempenhos nestas provas. De modo análogo,
as crianças com 9 anos são tanto mais sugestionáveis
quanto piores os desempenhos nas MPCR, evocação
da história do BTSS e subtestes informação,
vocabulário e aritmética da WISC–III. As crianças
deste grupo etário que apresentam desejabilidade
social elevada (avaliada pela RCMAS) são também
mais sugestionáveis. Estes resultados são discutidos
considerando a sua relevância para o âmbito forense.
To study the influence of the variables age, intelligence, memory, general anxiety and social desirability in suggestibility, 8 and 9-year-old children were assessed using the Bonn Test of Statement Suggestibility (BTSS). The effect of the variables memory and non-verbal intelligence was studied in 145 children while, in a subsample of 74 children, the variables verbal intelligence, general anxiety and social desirability were also taken into account besides the ones previously referred to. Eight-year-old children are more suggestible than older children. In the eightyear- old group, those with better performances in nonverbal intelligence (measured by Raven’s Coloured Progressive Matrices – RCPM), and in the BTSS story recall are less suggestible compared to the children with worse performances in these tests. Similarly, the worse the performance achieved by nine-year-old children in RCPM, in the BTSS story recall and in the subtests of information, vocabulary and arithmetic of WISC-III are, the more suggestible they are. The children belonging to this age group who show high social desirability (evaluated by RCMAS) are also more suggestible. These results are discussed according to its relevance in the scope of the forensic field.
