Resumo(s)
O avanço das tecnologias digitais, trouxe uma nova versão de bullying, gerando
um problema crescente de violência digital denominado cyberbullying. Este fenómeno
impacta as interações socias dos adolescentes, emergindo emoções desagradáveis que
prejudicam a sua saúde mental. Diversas pesquisas têm explorado este fenómeno
relacionado com as experiências emocionais, sugerindo que as emoções influenciam os
comportamentos dos adolescentes. Neste sentido, foi realizado um estudo qualitativo com
o objetivo de identificar e compreender as suas reações emocionais dos adolescentes a
situações de cyberbullying. Propôs-se de igual forma, investigar possíveis dificuldades e
estratégias que os adolescentes encontraram ao regular as suas emoções, nos distintos
papéis como observadores de situações de cyberbullying, nomeadamente observador
passivo, observador agressivo e observador pró-social. Foram realizadas um total de 29
entrevistas semiestruturadas dirigidas a adolescentes do 3º Ciclo do Ensino Básico, de
duas escolas do Ensino Regular na região de Lisboa e da Ilha de São Miguel, Açores e
realizou-se uma análise de conteúdo dos dados qualitativos. Os resultados obtidos
indicaram que as emoções desagradáveis que emergiram ao observar situações de
cyberbullying, podem determinar os estados emocionais dos adolescentes, uma vez que
mostraram reações empáticas em relação aos intervenientes em contextos de
cyberbllying, quando estas favorecem a resolução de problemas e a defesa da vítima. Os
adolescentes na sua maioria apresentaram maiores capacidades que dificuldades de
regulação emocional, evidenciando que a utilização de estratégias de regulação
emocional pode aumentar o sentido de responsabilidade social e a capacidade de articular
soluções pró-sociais, o que poderá beneficiar o bem-estar psicológico e aumentando os
vínculos positivos entre os adolescentes.
The advance of digital technologies has brought a new version of bullying, generating a growing problem of digital violence called cyberbullying. This phenomenon impacts adolescents' social interactions, bringing up unpleasant emotions that damage their mental health. Several research studies have explored this phenomenon related to emotional experiences, suggesting that emotions influence adolescents' behavior. Accordingly, a qualitative study was conducted with the aim of identifying and understanding adolescents' emotional reactions to cyberbullying situations. This study also proposed to investigate possible difficulties and strategies that adolescents encountered when regulating their emotions as observers of cyberbullying situations. A total of 29 semistructured interviews were conducted with middle school students from two regular schools in the Lisbon region and from São Miguel Island, Azores. A content analysis of the qualitative data was performed. The results obtained indicated that the unpleasant emotions that emerged when observing cyberbullying situations can determine the emotional states of adolescents showing empathic reactions towards those involved in cyberbullying contexts, when these favor problem solving and victim defense. Most adolescents demonstrated more emotional regulation skills than difficulties, showing that the use of emotional regulation strategies increases the sense of social responsibility and the ability to articulate pro-social solutions, benefiting psychological well-being and increasing positive bonds among adolescents.
