Abstract(s)
Num período em que surgem novas formas de os indivíduos se relacionarem, em que os
conceitos de amizade e atração física nas relações amorosas reclamam a atualização das suas
definições e em que os laços afetivos acarretam com o peso da mudança constante, torna-se
fundamental trazer novos pontos de vista para a sua compreensão. Desta forma, a presente investigação tem como principal objetivo estudar a relação entre a paixão, a atração física e a
amizade prévia. A amostra deste estudo foi constituída por 345 indivíduos, 112 do sexo masculino e 233 do sexo feminino. Para este estudo foi utilizado um Questionário Sociodemográfico, a Escala do Amor Apaixonado (PLS), o Questionário da Paixão Sexual em Relacionamentos Comprometidos e uma adaptação da Escala da Qualidade da Amizade (FQUA). A atração
física prévia ao relacionamento correlaciona-se com uma melhor qualidade da amizade prévia
e um menor tempo de amizade antes do relacionamento. A qualidade da amizade prévia ao
relacionamento está associada a níveis de atração física durante o relacionamento e paixão mais
elevados, particularmente com a paixão harmoniosa. A paixão obsessiva e inibida, tendem a
diminuir quanto maior for a qualidade da amizade prévia. Quando a atração física no relacionamento aumenta, a paixão harmoniosa também aumenta e a inibida diminui. Apenas nos homens se verificou que quanto maior o tempo de amizade prévia, maior a paixão harmoniosa.
Os resultados mostram, então, que há uma interligação entre a qualidade da amizade prévia ao
relacionamento e a paixão e atração física que ocorrem posteriormente no relacionamento.
ABSTRACT: In a period in which new ways of how individuals relate to each other emerge, where the concepts of friendship and physical attraction in love relationships demand an update of their definitions, and in which affective ties carry the weight of constant change, it becomes essential to bring new points of view for their understanding. In this way, the present investigation has as its main objective to study the relationship between passion, physical attraction, and previous friendship. The sample of this study consisted of 345 individuals, 112 males, and 233 females. For this study, a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the Passionate Love Scale (PLS), the Questionnaire of Sexual Passion in Committed Relationships, and an adaptation of the Friendship Quality Scale (FQUA) were used. Pre-relationship physical attraction correlates with a better pre-relationship friendship quality and a shorter pre-relationship friendship time. The quality of friendship before the relationship is associated with higher levels of physical attraction and passion during the relationship, particularly with harmonious passion. Obsessive and inhibited passion tend to diminish with the greater the quality of the previous friendship. When physical attraction in the relationship increases, harmonious passion also increases and inhibited passion decreases. Only in men it was found that the longer the time of previous friendship, the greater the harmonious passion. The results then show that there is an interconnection between the quality of friendship prior to the relationship and the passion and physical attraction that occur later in the relationship.
