Abstract(s)
Este estudo no âmbito do Mestrado em Psicologia Clínica e da Saúde da Universidade Europeia teve como objetivo investigar a relação entre o trauma infantil e a resiliência. Especificamente, pretende-se analisar o papel mediador de variáveis psicológicas como a alexitimia e a auto-reflexão e insight. Foi adotado um desenho quantitativo, correlacional e transversal. A amostra é composta por 418 participantes da população portuguesa, que responderam a um conjunto de questionários disponibilizados online. Os instrumentos utilizados incluem: o Questionário de Trauma na Infância, Escala de Alexitimia de Toronto, Escala de Autor-Reflexão e Insight e Escala de Resiliência Essencial. Com o objetivo de testar o efeito direto do trauma infantil e os efeitos indiretos da alexitimia e capacidade de auto-reflexão e insight, sobre a resiliência, foi conduzida uma análise de mediação paralela com 2 mediadores, com intervalos de confiança (IC) bootstrapped para avaliar a significância dos efeitos indiretos. Esta análise foi conduzida com recurso à macro PROCESS (modelo 4, parallel mediation) para SPSS. Este estudo pode contribuir para uma melhor compreensão dos mecanismos psicológicos envolvidos na ligação entre trauma precoce e o desenvolvimento da resiliência em pessoas com alexitimia e sua capacidade de autorreflexão e insight, com implicações para a prática clínica e para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de intervenção direcionadas à saúde mental e física de adultos com histórico de adversidade na infância.
This Master's dissertation in Clinical and Health Psychology at Universidade Europeia aimed to investigate the relationship between childhood trauma and resilience. Specifically, the study sought to analyze the mediating role of psychological variables such as alexithymia and selfreflection and insight. A quantitative, correlational, and cross-sectional design was adopted. The sample consisted of 418 participants from the Portuguese population, who responded to a set of online questionnaires. The instruments used included the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, the Self-Reflection and Insight Scale, and the Essential Resilience Scale. To test the direct effect of childhood trauma and the indirect effects of alexithymia and the capacity for self-reflection and insight on resilience, a parallel mediation analysis with two mediators was conducted, using bootstrapped confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the significance of indirect effects. This analysis was carried out using the PROCESS macro (model 4, parallel mediation) for SPSS. This study may contribute to a better understanding of the psychological mechanisms involved in the link between early trauma and the development of resilience in individuals with alexithymia and varying capacities for self-reflection and insight, with implications for clinical practice and the development of intervention strategies targeting the mental and physical health of adults with a history of childhood adversity.
