Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação analisa a influência da atribuição de rótulos na percepção das pessoas e na variável sexo, bem como os enviesamentos passíveis de ocorrerem na avaliação e formação de impressões, neste caso, sobre indivíduos com doença física ou mental em contexto laboral. Bem como, perceber se no referido contexto existe estigma relativamente às doenças mencionadas.
Os participantes foram distribuídos, aleatoriamente, por quatro condições experimentais (candidato com doença mental; candidata com doença mental; candidato com doença física e candidata com doença física), aplicando-se quatro questionários diferentes, construídos de acordo com a sequência de informação e tarefas próprias de um processo de selecção. Este estudo experimental assenta num plano factorial de 2x2. Aplicaram-se questionários com a descrição da função e informações sobre o(a) candidato(a), foi-lhes solicitado descrição da impressão com que ficaram do(a) mesmo(a). Seguiram-se questões de resposta numa escala de 5 pontos, onde se pede a opinião sobre o(a) candidato(a) com base nos seguintes critérios: adequação à função, assiduidade, disposição para o integrar na sua equipa, qualidade da relação estabelecida com colegas, adequação à contratação, importância da experiência profissional e a emissão de um parecer. Solicitou-se, que formulassem questões que gostariam de colocar ao candidato(a) numa entrevista de selecção, bem como o objectivo de cada uma.
Os resultados obtidos não sustentaram as hipóteses desta investigação, não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre as várias condições experimentais. Contudo, para a variável “Assiduidade” os resultados revelaram uma diferença marginalmente significativa. Estudo não confirmou existência de estigma das doenças consideradas no mundo do trabalho.

As well, to understand if in that context there is stigma regarding the mentioned diseases. Participants were randomly assigned to four experimental conditions (candidate with mental illness; candidate with mental illness; candidate with physical illness and candidate with physical illness), applying four different questionnaires, constructed according to the sequence of information and tasks of a selection process. This experimental study is based on a 2x2 factorial plan. Questionnaires were applied with the job description and information about the candidate, they were asked to describe their impression of the candidate. The following questions were answered on a 5-point scale, asking for an opinion on the candidate based on the following criteria: suitability, attendance, willingness to join him / her, quality of relationship established with colleagues, suitability for hiring, importance of professional experience and the delivery of an opinion. They were asked to ask questions they would like to ask the candidate in a selection interview, as well as the purpose of each. The results obtained did not support the hypotheses of this investigation, no significant differences were found between the various experimental conditions. However, for the variable “Attendance” the results revealed a marginally significant difference. Study did not confirm existence of stigma of diseases considered in the world of work. Key words:
