Abstract(s)
As relações íntimas na idade adulta, aos olhos da Teoria da Vinculação, têm vindo a ser alvo de diversos estudos e de crescentes desenvolvimentos, à luz daqueles que são os pressupostos metodológicos e conceptuais. A TV proposta por Bowlby (1973), alicerçada no construto de modelos internos dinâmicos (MID), parece ser um bom ponto de partida para a exploração da relação entre a vinculação na infância e relações íntimas na idade adulta. Tendo como objetivo geral a compreensão da relação entre a organização da vinculação, a representação da relação íntima e a resposta fisiológica individual num momento de interação diádica, este estudo apresenta um carácter inovador, na medida em que permite associar a variação da resposta cardíaca ao momento de interação diádica, aquando a administração da Couple Interaction Task (CIT). Os participantes deste estudo foram um casal heterossexual, com 25 e 31 anos de idade, ao qual foram administrados, individualmente, e gravados em registo áudio, as entrevistas Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) e Intimate Relationship Interview (IRI), seguidos da CIT, realizada em casal, simultaneamente à medição da frequência cardíaca através do Biopac BioNomadix. Os resultados obtidos vão de encontro aos encontrados na literatura, evidenciando que a organização da vinculação se associa à representação da relação íntima – onde é visível a continuidade do padrão de vinculação –, assim como a qualidade da interação diádica. Relativamente à frequência cardíaca verificou-se que o elemento seguro apresenta um padrão de maior variância cardíaca e maior responsividade, ao contrário do elemento caracterizado como desligado, que apresenta um padrão de responsividade cardíaca neutro.
Intimate relationships in adulthood, in the eyes of the attachment theory, have been the target of several studies and growing developments, in the light of those that are the methodological and conceptual assumptions. Attachment theory proposed by Bowlby (1973), based on the construct of dynamic internal models (MID), seems to be a good starting point for exploring the relationship between childhood’s attachment and intimate relationships in adulthood. With the general objective of understanding the relationship between the organization of attachment, the representation of the intimate relationship and the individual physiological response at a time of dyadic interaction, this study presents an innovative character, as it allows associate the variation of the cardiac response to the moment of dyadic interaction when administering the Couple Interaction Task (CIT). The participants of this study were a heterosexual couple, with 25 and 31 years old, who were individually administered and recorded in audio recording, the instruments Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) and Intimate Relationship Interview (IRI), followed by CIT, administered as a couple, simultaneously to the measurement of heart rate through the Bionomadix Biopac. The results obtained go against those found in the literature, evidencing that the attachment organization influences the representation of the intimate relationship – where the continuity of the attachment pattern is visible – as well as the quality of the dyadic interaction. Regarding the heart rate, it was found that the secure element presents a pattern of higher cardiac variance and greater responsiveness, as opposed to the element characterized as dismissing, which presents a pattern of neutral cardiac responsiveness.
