Abstract(s)
Os relacionamentos amorosos são uma das principais formas de relação entre indivíduos; no entanto estes podem chegar a um fim. O final dos relacionamentos carrega um aglomerado de sentimentos negativos na pessoa, sendo um dos principais o distress. Este varia e é sentido de forma diferente conforme as vivências e características pessoais de cada um. A infidelidade surge como uma das principais causas do final dos relacionamentos, sendo a forma como cada indivíduo perceciona a infidelidade um fator importante nos relacionamentos. O principal objetivo deste estudo consiste em compreender possíveis relações entre o distress sentido no final dos relacionamentos e as atitudes perante a infidelidade, tendo, para tal, sido necessário avaliar o ajustamento da Breakup Distress Scale (BDS) e da Attitudes Toward Relationship Infidelity (ATRI) à amostra deste estudo. Para tal, foram realizadas análises fatoriais exploratórias de modo a testar os modelos propostos pelos autores. Em ambos os instrumentos foram encontrados bons modelos de ajustamento, sendo que, na versão portuguesa da BDS caíram dois itens e a ATRI manteve a estrutura da versão original. Além disso, foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas nas escalas em função dos relacionamentos afetivos. Verificouse ainda a existência de uma correlação negativa e fraca, embora significativa, entre os dois instrumentos. Esperase que este estudo traga novas informações acerca do impacto dos relacionamentos afetivos no distress póstermino e nas atitudes perante a infidelidade.
Romantic relationships are one of the primary forms of connection between individuals; however, these relationships can come to an end. The end of relationships carries a cluster of negative emotions within the individual, with distress being one of the main components. This distress varies and is experienced differently based on each person's lived experiences and personal characteristics. Infidelity emerges as one of the main causes of relationship endings, and how each individual perceives infidelity is an important factor in relationships. The main objective of this study is to understand the potential relationship between the distress felt at the end of relationships and attitudes toward infidelity. This required evaluating the adaptation of the Breakup Distress Scale (BDS) and the Attitudes Toward Relationship Infidelity (ATRI) to the sample of this study. To this end, exploratory factor analyses were conducted to test the models proposed by the authors. Good adjustment models were found for both instruments, with two items being dropped from the Portuguese version of the BDS, while the ATRI maintained the structure of the original version. Additionally, statistically significant differences were found in the scales based on affective relationships. A weak but significant correlation was also found between the two instruments. It is hoped that this study will provide new insights into the impact of romantic relationships on postbreakup distress and attitudes toward infidelity.
