Abstract(s)
A fobia social caracteriza-se por medo ou ansiedade em situações sociais, onde o indivíduo
está exposto ao escrutínio, e manifesta-se em situações sociais ou de desempenho. Esta possui
uma etiologia multifatorial integrando fatores temperamentais, ambientais e genéticos. A
personalidade relaciona-se com as perturbações psicológicas, pois esta possui um papel no
desenvolvimento das mesmas. O objetivo deste estudo é compreender o papel dos traços da
personalidade na ansiedade e evitamento em situações sociais e de desempenho. A amostra é
constituída por 215 estudantes universitários portugueses, com idade média de 20 anos, que
preencheram um Questionário Sociodemográfico, a Escala de Ansiedade e Evitamento em
Situações de Desempenho e Interação Social (EAESDIS) e o Inventário da Personalidade
NEO-FFI-20. Os resultados demonstram pontuações elevadas no sexo feminino na subescala
de Distress/ Ansiedade e de Evitamento. Em relação às dimensões do NEO-FFI-20, o sexo
masculino apresentou pontuações mais elevadas de neuroticismo e amabilidade e o sexo
feminino de conscienciosidade, abertura à experiência e extroversão. A Extroversão e a
conscienciosidade apresentam uma correlação negativa com as subescalas Distress/
Ansiedade e de Evitamento. O neuroticismo apresentou correlação positiva com as subescalas
Distress/Ansiedade e de Evitamento. Com a realização deste estudo evidenciou-se o papel dos
traços da personalidade nas perturbações psicológicas, mais especificamente na sua relação
com a fobia social. Assim, a pertinência da temática relaciona-se com o fornecimento de
informações relativas ao funcionamento dos traços na fobia social.
