Abstract(s)
Na práxis clínica, a empatia do psicólogo é uma marca essencial para a adesão ao tratamento, efetividade das intervenções e o estabelecimento de uma relação positiva. Embora as variáveis do psicoterapeuta estejam associadas a um melhor prognóstico em saúde, são poucas as pesquisas que se dedicam a mensurar a resposta empática a partir do desempenho em psicoterapia. Através de uma amostra de 159 participantes, o presente estudo pretende explorar as diferenças na resposta empática entre psicoterapeutas portugueses e brasileiros, considerando as variáveis: sexo, anos de experiência e o desempenho numa tarefa comportamental. Para tal, foram utilizados os instrumentos Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) e University of Minho Empathy Vignettes (UMEV), devidamente traduzidos e adaptados aos dois grupos de participantes. Os resultados demonstram que, quanto ao sexo, as mulheres relataram maior empatia face aos homens, mas não houve diferenças significativas entre os sexos com relação ao desempenho empático. No que se refere aos anos de experiência, quanto mais experientes são os psicoterapeutas e ambas as nacionalidades, menor a empatia em ambos os instrumentos. Relativamente às duas culturas, não houve significância ao nível do autorrelato, mas a amostra brasileira expressou valores superiores quanto ao desempenho empático, quando comparada com a amostra portuguesa.
In clinical practice, the psychologist's empathy is an essential component for adherence to treatment, the effectiveness of interventions, and the establishment of a positive relationship. Although psychotherapist variables are associated with a better health prognosis, few studies are dedicated to exploring the empathic response ability based on psychotherapy performance. Through a sample of 159 participants, the present study intends to explore the differences in the empathic response between Portuguese and Brazilian psychotherapists, considering the variables: gender, years of experience and performance in an empathy task. To this end, the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) and University of Minho Empathy Vignettes (UMEV) instruments were used, duly translated and adapted for the two groups. Results demonstrated that women reported greater empathy than men, but there were no significant differences between them based on the performance in the empathy task. Regarding years of experience, the more experienced the Portuguese and Brazilian psychotherapists are, the less empathic responses are demonstrated in both instruments. Finally, regarding the two cultures, there was no significance at the level of self¬report, but the Brazilian sample expressed much higher indices regarding the performance of empathy in psychotherapy, compared to the Portuguese sample.
