Resumo(s)
O termo compersão é usado para descrever os sentimentos de prazer que uma pessoa
pode experienciar em resposta aos envolvimentos íntimos, sexuais ou românticos da pessoa
parceira com outras, fora da relação. Relativamente à literatura sobre compersão, desconhece-se a existência de estudos realizados em amostras portuguesas, sendo também escasso o foco
em jovens adultos. A presente investigação propôs-se ultrapassar esta lacuna e teve como
objetivo a compreensão da experiência de compersão em relações não-monogâmicas
consensuais em jovens adultos portugueses. Para tal, foram realizadas entrevistas individuais
semiestruturadas a 14 participantes com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e os 26 anos. Após
um processo de análise temática foram identificados sete temas centrais: Sistema de
Instrumentalização, Gestão de Empatia, Gestão da Relação com Parceire, Relação com
Metamour, Prática em Relações Não-Monogâmicas Consensuais, Esfera Pessoal e Ideal
Emocional. A experiência de compersão foi descrita como englobando sentimentos de
felicidade, entusiasmo, curiosidade, ativação sexual e alívio, tendo sido destacados
facilitadores e barreiras para os mesmos a diferentes níveis, tais como individual, da relação
com parceire, da relação com metamour e da relação de parceire com metamour. Além disso,
encontrou-se uma relação entre compersão e emoções consideradas negativas face aos
envolvimentos extradiádicos, tendo sido, inclusive, relatada a sua co-existência. Tendo em
conta esta relação, sugere-se que um maior conhecimento sobre compersão pode ajudar no
desenvolvimento de estratégias para lidar com emoções consideradas negativas face a
envolvimentos extradiádicos, mas também contribuir para a compreensão do bem-estar
relacional independentemente da estrutura ou identidade relacional envolvidas
The term compersion is used to describe the feeling of pleasure people may experience in response to their partners’ intimate, sexual or romantic involvements with others outside the relationship. Regarding literature on compersion, there are no studies carried out with Portuguese samples and a lack of focus on young adults. The present investigation aimed to overcome this gap and aimed to understand the experience of compersion in consensual non monogamous relationships in young Portuguese adults. For this, individual semi-structured interviews were carried out with 14 participants aged between 19 and 26 years old. After a thematic analysis process, seven central themes were identified: Instrumentalization System, Empathy Management, Partner Relationship Management, Relationship with Metamour, Practice in Consensual Non-Monogamous Relationships, Personal Sphere and Emotional Ideal. Compersion experience was described as feelings of happiness, enthusiasm, curiosity, sexual activation and relief, with facilitators and barriers highlighted for them at different levels, such as individual, relationship with partner, relationship with metamour and partner’s relationship with matamour. Furthermore, it was found a relation between compersion and emotions considered negative in response to extradyadic involvements and their co-existence was reported. Taking this into account, it was suggested that more knowledge about compersion can help in the development of strategies to deal with emotions considered negative in response to extradyadic involvements, but also contribute to the understanding of relational well-being regardless of the relational structure or identity involved.
