empatia, percepção de emoções primárias, psicoterapiaResumo
A presente investigação teve como objectivo estudar a empatia e a capacidade de percepção de emoções primárias em estudantes de Psicologia e psicoterapeutas da Faculdade de Psicologia da Universidade de Lisboa. Para medir os construtos em estudo, recorreu-se à primeira versão experimental portuguesa do Test de Empatía Cognitiva y Afectiva (TECA), traduzida e adaptada na presente investigação, e ao Teste de Percepção de Emoções Primárias (PEP), construído na Universidade de São Francisco (Brasil). Procurou-se averiguar em que medida as competências supramencionadas são desenvolvidas na formação académica ou apenas através da experiência prática, pelo que se recorreu à sua avaliação, numa amostra de 113 participantes. Verificou-se que a empatia cognitiva é superior nos sujeitos com maior formação e experiência, que a empatia emocional está positivamente (porém não significativamente) correlacionada com a percepção de emoções, e que os dois tipos de empatia (cognitiva e emocional) apresentam algum grau de independência entre si.Downloads
