Resumo(s)
A literatura tem evidenciado que as relações íntimas fornecem um contexto para a regulação do bem-estar físico e emocional e que as dificuldades na regulação emocional afetam negativamente a intimidade conjugal. Contudo, foram encontrados poucos estudos a relacionar as dificuldades na regulação emocional e a intimidade. Pretende-se analisar a relação entre as dificuldades na regulação emocional e as dimensões da intimidade e a relação das duas variáveis em função do sexo, idade, duração da relação e tipo de relação. Participaram do estudo 345 adultos, pertencentes à população geral. Foram administrados, a todos os participantes, três instrumentos: um questionário sociodemográfico, a Escala de Dificuldades de Regulação Emocional (EDRE; Gratz & Roemer, 2004; Vaz, Vasco & Greenberg, 2010) e a Escala de Avaliação da Intimidade na Relação (PAIR; Shaefer & Olson, 1981; Moreira, Amaral & Canavarro, 2007). Foram encontradas correlações significativas entre todas as dificuldades na regulação emocional e os factores da intimidade, à exceção da dificuldade de controlo de impulsos e a abertura do casal aos outros. Foram encontradas diferenças significativas em função do sexo, idade, duração da relação e tipo de relação. A capacidade para regular as emoções parece constituir-se um fator de proteção para a intimidade do casal, contribuindo para um funcionamento íntimo mais adaptativo e as relações íntimas parecem constituir-se um contexto potencial para a regulação emocional.
The literature has shown that intimate relationships provide a context for the regulation of physical and emotional well-being and that difficulties in emotional regulation negatively affect marital intimacy. However, few research has studied the difficulties in emotional regulation and intimacy. The aim of this study is to analyze the relation between the difficulties in emotional regulation and the factors of intimacy and the relation of this two variables by gender, age, duration of the relationship and type of relationship. A sample of 345 adults from the general population has answered three instruments: a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Emotion Regulation Difficulties Scale (ERDS; Gratz & Roemer, 2004; Vaz, Vasco & Greenberg, 2010) and Personal Assessment of Intimacy in Relationships (PAIR; Schaefer & Olson, 1981; Moreira, Amaral & Canavarro, 2007). Significant correlations were found between all the difficulties in emotional regulation and all factors of intimacy, except the difficulty of impulse control and the opening of couple to others. There were significant differences by gender, age, duration of relationship and type of relationship. The ability to regulate emotions seem to constitute a protective factor for couple's intimacy, contributing to a more adaptive functioning intimate and close relationships seem to constitute a potential context for emotional regulation.
