Infra-humanização das mulheres: Relação entre sexismo e atribuição de emoções
Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
Foi investigado o modo como a atribuição de emoções primárias e secundárias (positivas e negativas), às mulheres varia de acordo com o género e entre as gerações X e Y e analisada a relação entre o Sexismo (Hostil e Benevolente) e a atribuição de emoções.
Através de um questionário online, foi pedido aos participantes que indicassem em que medida consideravam as 16 palavras estímulo (12 emoções e 4 distratores) como típicas das mulheres, numa escala de 1 a 7. Os participantes responderam também à escala ASI, de Glick e Fiske (1996), onde lhes foi solicitado que indicassem o grau com que concordavam com as afirmações apresentadas, numa escala de 0 a 5.
Como esperado, os resultados mostram que os elementos masculinos, (versus femininos) consideram as emoções primárias negativas mais típicas das mulheres, enquanto os participantes femininos (versus masculinos) consideram as emoções secundárias positivas mais típicas das mulheres em geral. Revelam ainda que o Sexismo Benevolente se relaciona positiva e significativamente com as emoções secundárias (positivas e negativas), o Sexismo Hostil se relaciona de forma positiva e significativa com as emoções primárias (positivas e negativas) e ainda que este se relaciona de forma negativa e não significativa com as emoções secundárias negativas.
Os resultados são discutidos com base na teoria da infra-humanização. São abordadas as limitações deste estudo, propostas investigações futuras e referidas as implicações desta dissertação.
ABSTRACT: It was investigated how the attribution of primary and secondary emotions (positive and negative) to women varies according to gender and between generations X and Y and analyzed the relationship between Sexism (Hostile and Benevolent) and the attribution of emotions. Applying an online questionnaire, participants were asked to indicate to what extent they considered the 16 stimulus words (12 emotions and 4 distractors) as typical of women, on a scale of 1 to 7. Participants also responded to the ASI scale of Click and Fiske (1996), where they were asked to indicate the degree to which they agreed with the statements presented, on a scale of 0 to 5. As expected, the results show that male elements (versus female) consider the primary negative emotions more typical of women, while female participants (versus male) consider the positive secondary emotions more typical of women in general. They also reveal that Benevolent Sexism relates positively and significantly to secondary emotions (positive and negative), Hostile Sexism relates positively and significantly to primary emotions (positive and negative) and even though it relates negatively and insignificantly with negative secondary emotions. The results are discussed based on the infra-humanization theory. The limitations of this study are referred, future researches are proposed and the implications of this dissertation are mentioned.
