Resumo(s)
A vida de uma celebridade ou figura pública é também marcada por adversidades que podem afetar o seu percurso de vida, exigindo por vezes a utilização de estratégias de coping para conseguirem as ultrapassarem (Peiperl, 2002). As estratégias de coping referem-se aos processos e comportamentos ativos que as pessoas utilizam como forma de se adaptarem e lidarem com uma situação adversa (McCubbin & Dahl, 1985), sendo que perante uma mesma situação adversa as consequências podem ser diferentes para diferentes indivíduos, o que está intimamente relacionado com o conceito de resiliência. O objetivo deste estudo é o de identificar os diferentes tipos de estratégias de coping utilizadas por pessoas mediáticas perante uma adversidade passada, concretamente, que viveram num contexto de desvantagem económica e social anterior ao mediatismo, e a sua possível relação com os respetivos percursos de resiliência. Os dados foram recolhidos por meio de entrevistas do programa televisivo Alta Definição apresentado na SIC, sendo a amostra de 22 participantes (10 do sexo feminino e restantes do sexo masculino) com idades compreendidas entre os 24 e os 87 anos. De modo geral, os resultados ilustraram vários tipos de estratégias de coping tais como estratégias relativas ao self, estratégias de fuga, estratégias de lazer, estratégias emocionais, estratégias que envolvem próximos e estratégias relacionadas com crenças), sendo que dentro de cada um deste tipo de estratégias foram referidas estratégias de coping mais específicas. Os participantes manifestam que perante um contexto de desvantagem económica e social criaram as suas próprias estratégias de coping para ultrapassem obstáculos e alcançarem carreiras marcadas pelo sucesso, o que permitiu a cada um deles tornarem-se pessoas mais resilientes. Este contexto de desvantagem económica e social surgiu neste estudo associado a um outcome positivo, dado que parece ter potenciado o desenvolvimento de capacidades e competências, que se tornaram importantes no seu atual presente.
The concept of celebrity came up with the development of the media and it is a concept used to distinguish an individual by his or her public image brand (Boorstin, 1992). The celebrity life is also marked by adversities, hence demanding coping strategies to overcome the adversities that might arise. These coping strategies refer to processes and ways of acting that people use in order to adapt and deal with an adverse situation (McCubbin & Dahl, 1985). However, it is important to observe that when different people are facing the same scenarios there will be different consequences, which is closely related to the concept of resilience. The goal of this study is to identify the different types of coping strategies used by celebrities, who lived in a context of economic and social disadvantage before becoming public figures, and their potencial relationship with their trajectories of resilience. Data were collected through interviews from “Alta Definição” a television program presented at the Portuguese SIC channel. The sample was composed of 22 participants (10 females and the remaining males) aged between 24 and 87 years old. In general, the results illustrated several types of coping strategies (self-strategies, escape strategies, leisure strategies, emotional strategies, strategies related to beliefs and strategies involving close ones), and more specific strategies. The participants pointed out that in the context of economic and social disadvantage, they had to create their own coping strategies to overcome obstacles and achieve successful careers, which allowed them to become more resilient. Such context of economic and social disadvantage was associated with positive outcomes, as it contributed to the development of skills and competences that became important for their present life.
