Abstract(s)
Os objetivos centrais do presente estudo foram explorar se existem diferenças na qualidade da resposta empática à medida que aumenta o número de anos de formação em Psicologia e analisar a correlação entre o nível de contágio emocional, medido pela frequência cardíaca, e a qualidade da resposta empática, comparando os diferentes níveis de formação em Psicologia. Neste estudo, os participantes (N=56) participaram numa tarefa laboratorial na qual tiveram de escolher o tipo de resposta empática mais adequada perante a visualização de vinhetas em vídeo e preencheram, ainda, um instrumento de autorrelato acerca da sua perceção empática. Os principais resultados apontam para diferenças na qualidade da resposta empática em estudantes de acordo com o nível formação em Psicologia; diferenças na frequência cardíaca de acordo com o nível formação em Psicologia; associação entre algumas dimensões (reatividade interpessoal, qualidade da resposta empática e contágio emocional dos participantes). Conhecendo-se a importância da empatia em contexto terapêutico, para tal, seria essencial o desenvolvimento de experiências formativas adicionais tendo em vista dar atenção à componente relacional que é essencial para o sucesso terapêutico.
The present study aimed to explore whether there are differences in the quality of the empathic response as the number of years of training in Psychology increases and to analyze the correlation between the level of emotional contagion, measured by the heart rate, and the quality of the empathic response, comparing the distinct levels of training in Psychology. In this study, the participants (N=56) took part in a laboratory task in which after watching vignettes on video, they had to choose the most appropriate type of empathic response. Moreover, they also filled an instrument of self-report about their emphatic perception. The main results point out to differences in the quality of the emphatic response in students according to their level of training in Psychology; to differences in the heart rate according to the level of training in Psychology; to an association between some dimensions (interpersonal reactivity, quality of the empathic response and emotional contagion of the participants). Bearing in mind the importance of empathy in a therapeutic context, it would be essential to develop additional formative experiences to give attention to the relational component that is essential for therapeutic success.
