Abstract(s)
Seguindo uma tradição integrativa, o Modelo da Complementaridade Paradigmática
conceptualiza sete pares de necessidades psicológicas dialécticas (Vasco, 2009a,
2009b), concebendo o bem-estar como resultante da regulação de satisfação das
necessidades, através de um processo contínuo de negociação e balanceamento dos
pares dialécticos.
Com base na literatura na área da coerência entre pensamento, emoção e acção e entre
Self real e Self ideal, construiu-se uma escala de avaliação do grau de regulação do par
de necessidades Coerência/Incoerência, que se aplicou a 237 participantes através de
uma plataforma Web e relacionou com escalas de Bem-Estar Psicológico e Distress
Psicológico, pertencentes ao Inventário de Saúde Mental (ISM).
Os resultados apoiam a consistência interna do instrumento e mostram o contributo das
variáveis na variância dos resultados, revelando a relação positiva da Coerência com o
Bem-Estar Psicológico e negativa com o Distress Psicológico, e a relação negativa da
Incoerência com o Distress Psicológico.
Dividindo os sujeitos por 4 grupos relativos aos pares de resultados de Coerência e
Incoerência (com base nas medianas), o grupo de resultados mais elevados nos dois
pólos revela resultados mais elevados de Bem-Estar Psicológico e mais baixos de
Distress Psicológico.
Apresentam-se as limitações do estudo, as implicações dos resultados para futuras
teorizações na área e para a prática psicoterapêutica e sugerem-se linhas de investigação
futuras.
Taking after an integrative tradition, the Paradigmatic Complementarity Model postulates seven pairs of dialectical psychological needs (Vasco, 2009a, 2009b), with well-being as the result of need regulation, through a continuous negotiation and balancing process of the poles of each need. We have built a scale to evaluate the degree of regulation of one of these pairs, Coherence/Incoherence, grounded on the literature on thought-emotion-action coherence and real Self-ideal Self coherence. The scale was applied to 237 participants in a Web platform, together with the Portuguese version of the Mental Health Inventory, and the results on the former were related to the results on two indexes of the latter: Psychological Well-Being and Psychological Distress. Results account for the reliability of the Coherence/Incoherence Scale and the variance in the results, showing that Coherence is positively related to Psychological Well-Being and negatively related to Psychological Distress, while Incoherence is negatively related to Psychological Distress. When participants were divided into 4 groups by the results on the pair Coherence/Incoherence (fixed factor – median), the group with higher results on both poles showed higher results in Psychological Well-Being and lower results Psychological Distress than the rest of the sample. Study limitations, implications for theories of well-being and distress and for the psychotherapeutic practice are discussed, and further research is suggested.
