Esta Dissertação apresenta uma análise que pretende compreender as alterações de
sentido e práticas no uso dos meios de comunicação aquando de mudanças nos estados
emocionais nos jovens. Para isso, optou-se por uma abordagem qualitativa de cariz
exploratório através da aplicação de entrevistas individuais, em profundidade e
semidirectivas. Da análise e interpretação das práticas, sentidos e significados que os
média têm na vida dos entrevistados em diferentes contextos, concluiu-se que existe uma
modificação na forma como os jovens se relacionam (usam e consomem) com os meios de
comunicação quando o seu estado emocional se altera. Em estados emocionais de bemestar,
as alterações de práticas verificam-se essencialmente por necessidades de
entretenimento e lazer e/ou de aproximação às pessoas, e em estados emocionais
depressivos as práticas mediáticas ganham destaque por necessidade de distracção/evasão e
de distanciamento relativamente a outras pessoas. Concluiu-se igualmente que um mesmo
meio encerra em si uma pluralidade de sentidos para diferentes indivíduos em estados
emocionais semelhantes, mas também para um mesmo sujeito em estados emocionais
distintos.
This Master Thesis presents an analysis that aims to understand the changes of media practices and meanings at the time of changes in emotional states of young people. To do this, we chose a qualitative approach of exploratory nature by applying individual, in-depth and semi directive interviews. From the analysis and interpretation of practices and meanings that the media have on the interviewees’ lives in different contexts, it is concluded that there is a change in the way young people relate themselves (use and consume) with the media when there is a change in their emotional states. In emotional state of well-being, changes in practices occur mainly by entertainment and leisure needs and/or by the need to be closer to people; in depressive emotional state the media practices are highlighted by the need of distraction/escape and by the need of distancing others. It was also concluded that the same medium encloses itself a plurality of meanings for different individuals in similar emotional states, but also to the same individual in different emotional states.
