empatía, percepción de emociones primarias, psicoterapiaResumen
La presente investigación tuvo el objetivo de estudiar la empatía e la capacidad de reconocer emociones primarias, en estudiantes de psicología y en psicoterapeutas, de la Facultad de Psicología de la Universidad de Lisboa. Para medir los constructos en estudio se ha utilizado la primera versión experimental portuguesa del Test de Empatía Cognitiva y Afectiva (TECA), traducida y adaptada en la presente investigación, y el Teste de Percepção de Emoções Primárias (PEP), construido en la Universidad de San Francisco (Brasil). Se intentó averiguar si las competencias referidas anteriormente se desarrollan con la formación académica o solamente con la experiencia práctica, y para eso se recorrió à su evaluación, en una muestra de 113 participantes. Se ha encontrado que la empatía cognitiva es superior en los sujetos que tienen mayor formación y experiencia, que la empatía emocional es positivamente (pero no significativamente) correlacionada con la percepción de emociones, y que existe algún grado de independencia entre los dos tipos de empatía (cognitiva y emocional).Citas
