O papel mediador do silêncio na relação entre a personalidade e a adaptação do indivíduo no local de trabalho
No full textDissertação de Mestrado apresentada no ISPA – Instituto Universitário para obtenção de grau de Mestre na especialidade de Psicologia Social e das Organizações.Este trabalho teve o objetivo não só, de tentar compreender como é que os traços extroversão e neuroticismo, se podem relacionar com comportamentos de silêncio e adaptação do indivíduo no local de trabalho, mas também verificar se o silêncio poderá ser mediador na relação entre os traços de personalidade e a adaptação.
A amostra é constituída por 208 participantes, com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e os 66 anos, dos quais 59,1% pertencem ao sexo feminino e 40,9% ao sexo masculino.
De forma a medir os traços de personalidade extroversão e neuroticismo, foi utilizada a escala BFI-10 (Bártolo-Ribeiro, 2017), sendo esta uma adaptação para a população portuguesa do instrumento de medida BFI – 10 Item Short Version (Rammstedt, & John, 2007). Para avaliar os comportamentos de silêncio, foi utilizada a escala do Silêncio do Colaborador proposta por Van Dyne et al. (2003) na versão adaptada para a população portuguesa por Sabino & Cesário (2019) e, para a avaliar a adaptação, utilizou-se a escala original Individual Adaptative Performance, proposta e adaptada para a população portuguesa por Marques-Quinteiro et al. (2015).
Nos resultados obtidos, verificou-se a existência de um impacto significativo dos traços extroversão e neuroticismo, positivo e negativo, respetivamente, na variável adaptação. Em termos da variável silêncio, apenas se verificou uma relação significativa e negativa com o traço neuroticismo. Assim, as hipóteses que relacionam o silêncio com o traço extroversão e com a adaptação não foram confirmadas.
Relativamente ao modelo de mediação, para ambos os traços neuroticismo e extroversão verificou-se a existência de um efeito direto na adaptação, no entanto, o mesmo não é mediado pelo silêncio para nenhuma das variáveis da personalidade, não confirmando as hipóteses de mediação.This study aims not only to understand how extraversion and neuroticism traits can be related to employee silence and adaptive performance, but also to verify if employee silence can mediate the relationship between personality traits and adaptive performance.
Sample composition is 208 participants, aged between 19 and 66 years old, of which 59.1% are female and 40.9% are male.
In order to measure personality traits (extraversion and neuroticism), a BFI-10 scale (Bártolo-Ribeiro, 2017) was used, which is an adaptation for the Portuguese population of BFI - 10 Item Short Version (Rammstedt, & John, 2007). To assess silence behaviours, was used the Employee Silence scale proposed by Van Dyne et al. (2003), in its adapted version for the Portuguese population by Sabino & Cesário (2019), and in order to assess adaptive performance it was used the original Individual Adaptative Performance scale, proposed, and adapted for the Portuguese population by Marques-Quinteiro et al. (2015).
In the results, we verified the existence of a significant impact for extraversion and neuroticism traits, respectively positive and negative on adaptive performance. In terms of employee silence, there was only a negative and significant relationship with neuroticism. Thus, the hypotheses that relates silence with extraversion and adaptive performance were not confirmed.
Regarding the results of the mediation model, for both neuroticism and extraversion traits, was noticed a direct effect on adaptive performance, however, the same is not mediated by employee silence for any of personality variables, not confirming the hypothesis’s mediation
Identidade e comportamentos autolesivos na adolescência final
No full textDissertação de Mestrado
apresentada no ISPA – Instituto Universitário de
Ciências Psicológicas, Sociais e da Vida para
obtenção de grau de Mestre na especialidade de
Psicologia Clínica.Introdução: O objetivo deste estudo prende-se com o aprofundamento do conhecimento sobre
a relação existente entre os comportamentos autolesivos (CAL) e a identidade na adolescência
final. Este estudo distingue-se dos restantes pelo seu tema inovador e pela forma como é
explorada a identidade, atendendo-se à componente emocional e à importância atribuída pelos
adolescentes às suas auto perceções que, por sua vez, refletem os seus autoconceitos e narrativas
autobiográficas.
Método: Foi aplicado um protocolo online constituído por 3 instrumentos – Questionário “Eu
Sou”, “Eu Serei” e “Eu Era”, Inventário de Comportamentos Autolesivos (ICAL) e
Questionário Sociodemográfico – a 64 adolescentes de ambos os géneros, com idades
compreendidas entre os 18 e os 21 anos (M = 19.72; DP = 1.133), divididos em dois grupos
naturais, de acordo com a presença ou ausência de historial de CAL.
Resultados: Os resultados permitiram identificar narrativas patologizantes nos adolescentes
com CAL, evidenciando dificuldades ao nível da atribuição de significado. Bem como, auto
perceções e avaliações mais baixas dos autoconceitos nos adolescentes com CAL
comparativamente com os adolescentes sem CAL.
Conclusão: Os resultados do presente estudo evidenciam o importante papel da identidade para
uma melhor compreensão dos CALIntroduction: This study intends to explore the relationship between self-harm behaviours
(SHB) and identity, while introducting a new approach to study the identity by exploring the
emotional valence and importance associated with the subjects narratives and self-concept
domains.
Method: An online protocol consisting on the Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the Task “I
Was”, “I Am” and “I Will Be” and the portuguese version of the Inventory of Self-harm
behaviours (ICAL) was answered by 64 adolescents from both genders, aged between 18 and
21 years (M = 19.72; SD = 1,133), divided into two natural groups, according to the presence
or absence of a history of SBH.
Results: The results revealed pathological narratives in adolescents with SHB, as well as, lower
self-concept assessments in adolescents with SHB when compared to the subjects without SHB.
Conclusion: The results of this study underline the important role of identity for a better
understanding of CAL
Targeted sequencing of mitochondrial genes reveals signatures of molecular adaptation in a nearly panmictic small pelagic fish species
Get PDFOngoing climatic changes, with predictable impacts on marine environmental conditions, are expected to trigger organismal responses. Recent evidence shows that, in some marine species, variation in mitochondrial genes involved in the aerobic conversion of oxygen into ATP at the cellular level correlate with gradients of sea surface temperature and gradients of dissolved oxygen. Here, we investigated the adaptive potential of the European sardine Sardina pilchardus populations offshore the Iberian Peninsula. We performed a seascape genetics approach that consisted of the high throughput sequencing of mitochondria's ATP6, COI, CYTB and ND5 and five microsatellite loci on 96 individuals coupled with environmental information on sea surface temperature and dissolved oxygen across five sampling locations. Results show that, despite sardines forming a nearly panmictic population around Iberian Peninsula, haplotype frequency distribution can be explained by gradients of minimum sea surface temperature and dissolved oxygen. We further identified that the frequencies of the most common CYTB and ATP6 haplotypes negatively correlate with minimum sea surface temperature across the sampled area, suggestive of a signature of selection. With signatures of selection superimposed on highly connected populations, sardines may be able to follow environmental optima and shift their distribution northwards as a response to the increasing sea surface temperatures.Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia - FCTinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
La luna : Uma circum-navegação à descoberta da identidade pelo olhar de Coimbra de Matos
No full textDissertação de Mestrado apresentada no ISPA –
Instituto Universitário para obtenção de grau de Mestre
na especialidade de Psicologia Clínica.Enquanto área do saber que define o sujeito relacional como objeto de estudo e de intervenção, a
identidade é um conceito-chave na Psicologia: por estar no cerne do que define o sujeito, a
identidade encontra-se no âmago da sua ciência. Ora, se a identidade for conceptualizada como
uma construção, compreender este conceito implica entender os processos de formação através dos
quais se concretiza. Contudo, e como consequência da polissemia de pensares sobre a identidade,
assiste-se a uma dispersão de teorizações sobre a construção identitária, consoante o ponto de
observação do quadro epistemológico empregue. Já no quadro das conceções psicanalíticas
clássicas, onde a formação da identidade constitui um dos núcleos duros das suas teorizações,
vemos a concepção de uma identidade pessoal que se constrói pela via de processos identificativos.
Afigura-se a pergunta: se a construção da identidade resulta do processo de identificação ao objeto
da relação, onde fica o lugar do sujeito no seu próprio trajeto identitário? A partir desta questão
sobre a natureza fundamental da construção identitária, procuraremos, no modelo proposto por
António Coimbra de Matos, uma formulação que permita contribuir para a clarificação deste
aparente paradoxo conceptual. É pela dialética, fluída e fecunda, com um objeto artístico, que
procuraremos outros olhares, e encontraremos novos significados, numa circum-navegação sobre
a teoria da co-construção identitária que apresenta.As a science that defines the relational subject as its object of study and intervention, identity is a
critical concept in Psychology since it is at the core of what the subject represents. If conceptualized
as a construction, understanding identity implies knowing the formation processes through which
it takes place. However, and as a consequence of the polysemy of thinking concerning the concept,
there is a theoretical dispersion about identity formation, depending on the epistemological
framework. In the classical psychoanalytical conceptions, identity formation is paramount to its
theorizations, in which we see the concept of personal identity built through identification
processes. The question arises: if identity is formed only through identification processes, where's
the subject's place in its identity path? Based on this fundamental question, we will look at the
identity formation model proposed by António Coimbra de Matos for a formulation that will help
clarify this apparent conceptual paradox. Through a fluid and fruitful dialogue with an artistic
object, we will perform a circumnavigation to find other views and new meanings about the theory
of identity co-construction the author presents
Mental health andadherence to COVID-19 protective behaviors among cancer patients during the COVID-19 Pandemic: An International, Multinational Cross-Sectional Study
No full textA population-based cross-sectional study was conducted during the first COVID-19 wave,
to examine the impact of COVID-19 on mental health using an anonymous online survey, enrolling
9565 individuals in 78 countries. The current sub-study examined the impact of the pandemic and
the associated lockdown measures on the mental health, and protective behaviors of cancer patients
in comparison to non-cancer participants. Furthermore, 264 participants from 30 different countries
reported being cancer patients. The median age was 51.5 years, 79.9% were female, and 28% had
breast cancer. Cancer participants reported higher self-efficacy to follow recommended national
guidelines regarding COVID-19 protective behaviors compared to non-cancer participants (p < 0.01).
They were less stressed (p < 0.01), more psychologically flexible (p < 0.01), and had higher levels
of positive affect compared to non-cancer participants. Amongst cancer participants, the majority
(80.3%) reported COVID-19, not their cancer, as their priority during the first wave of the pandemic
and females reported higher levels of stress compared to males. In conclusion, cancer participants
appeared to have handled the unpredictable nature of the first wave of the pandemic efficiently, with a
positive attitude towards an unknown and otherwise frightening situation. Larger, cancer population
specific and longitudinal studies are warranted to ensure adequate medical and psychological care
for cancer patients.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Sympatric threatened Iberian leuciscids exhibit differences in Aeromonas diversity and skin lesions’ prevalence
Get PDFAssessments regarding health aspects of Iberian leuciscids are limited. There is currently an information gap regarding effects of infectious diseases on these populations and their role as a possible conservation threat. Moreover, differences in susceptibility to particular agents, such as Aeromonas spp., by different species/populations is not clear. To understand potential differences in Aeromonas diversity and load, as well as in the prevalence and proportion of skin lesions, in fishes exposed to similar environmental conditions, an observational study was implemented. Using a set of 12 individuals belonging to two sympatric Iberian leuciscid species (Squalius pyrenaicus and Iberochondrostoma lusitanicum), the skin lesion score in each individual was analyzed. Furthermore, a bacterial collection of Aeromonas spp. isolated from each individual was created and isolates’ load was quantified by plate counting, identified at species level using a multiplex-PCR assay and virulence profiles established using classical phenotypic methods. The similarity relationships of the isolates were evaluated using a RAPD analysis. The skin lesion score was significantly higher in S. pyrenaicus, while the Aeromonas spp. load did not differ between species. When analyzing Aeromonas species diversity between fishes, different patterns were observed. A predominance of A. hydrophila was detected in S. pyrenaicus individuals, while I. lusitanicum individuals displayed a more diverse structure. Similarly, the virulence index of isolates from S. pyrenaicus was higher, mostly due to the isolated Aeromonas species. Genomic typing clustered the isolates mainly by fish species and skin lesion score. Specific Aeromonas clusters were associated with higher virulence indexes. Current results suggest potential differences in susceptibility to Aeromonas spp. at the fish species/individual level, and constitute important knowledge for proper wildlife management through the signalization of at-risk fish populations and hierarchization of conservation measures.Fundação para a Cência e Tecnologia - FCTinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
De que forma é que a magnitude da mudança influencia a forma como as equipas de bombeiros se coordenam e adaptam após um imprevisto durante uma extração
Get PDFDissertação de Mestrado apresentada
no ISPA – Instituto Universitário de Ciências Psicológicas, Sociais e da Vida, para obtenção do grau
de Mestre na especialidade de Psicologia Social e das
Organizações.Este estudo visa compreender de que modo é que a magnitude da mudança influencia a forma como as equipas de bombeiros se coordenam e se adaptam após um imprevisto durante a extração.
A amostra é composta por 140 recrutas pertencentes ao Regimento de Sapadores Bombeiros Lisboa. Estes 140 participantes estão distribuídos por 28 equipas, constituídas por 6 elementos (Técnico 1, Técnico 2, Técnico 3, Técnico 4, Socorrista, Chefe).
De modo a avaliar as variáveis de coordenação (implícita e explicita), foi desenvolvida uma grelha de codificação com o objetivo de codificar os comportamentos de coordenação ocorridos durante a tarefa de extração.
Para avaliar o desempenho adaptativo da equipa, foi utilizada uma versão da escala de Pulakos et al. (2000), adaptada para a população portuguesa por Marques-Quinteiro, Ramos-Villagrasa, Passos e Curral (2015).
Os resultados demonstram que algumas das hipóteses não foram corroboradas. No entanto, sugerem que existe uma relação significativa entre a adoção de comportamentos de coordenação implícita e a duração da tarefa. Porém, os resultados parecem indicar que não existe qualquer relação entre a coordenação explicita e implícita com a adaptação avaliada pelo líder.
Verificou-se que a magnitude da mudança exerce uma influência sobre a coordenação implícita e esta, tem uma especial importância nas tarefas de rotina.This study aims to understand how the magnitude of change influences the way fire crews coordinate and adapt after an unexpected event during an extraction.
The sample include 140 recruits from the Firefighters Regiment of the Command and Training Headquarters in Marvila, Lisbon. These 140 participants are distributed by 28 teams, consisting of 6 elements, (Technic 1, Technic 2, Technic 3, Technic 4, Paramedic, Leader).
In order to evaluate the coordination (implicit and explicit) variables, a research grid was developed with the objective of codifying the coordination results that occurred during the extraction task.
To assess the adaptive performance of the team, a version of the scale by Pulakos et al. (2000), was adapted for the Portuguese population by Marques-Quinteiro, Ramos-Villagrasa, Passos and Curral (2015).
The results demonstrate that the hypotheses were not confirmed. However, they suggest that there is a significant relationship between the adoption of implicit coordination behaviors and the duration of the task. However, the results seem to indicate that there is no relationship between explicit and implicit coordination with the adaptation evaluated by the leader.
It was found that the magnitude of the change has an influence on the implicit coordination, and this has a special importance in routine tasks
Resiliência familiar no contexto da doença crónica pediátrica : impacto do desgaste do Cuidador familiar e do crescimento pós-traumático nas respostas de doping dos pais cuidadores
Get PDFDissertação de Mestrado apresentada no ISPA – Instituto Universitário para obtenção de grau de Mestre na especialidade de Psicologia da SaúdeIntrodução: A doença crónica pediátrica tem sido conceptualizada como um acontecimento extremamente disruptivo que ultrapassa o nível individual, refletindo-se em toda a família. A partir do momento em que há um diagnóstico, os papéis e as responsabilidades dos cuidadores mudam para se acomodar às necessidades da criança. O coping é considerado um processo que contribui ativamente para a adaptação familiar à doença. O principal objetivo desta investigação é avaliar o coping e a sua relação com diversos fatores clínicos, sociodemográficos e psicossociais, nomeadamente o desgaste do cuidador familiar e o crescimento pós-traumático (CPT).
Método: A amostra é constituída por 127 participantes (M = 40,25; DP = 7,38) que são ou foram cuidadores de crianças/ adolescentes com doenças crónicas, cujo diagnóstico foi feito entre os 0 e os 19 anos e fluentes na língua portuguesa. Através da plataforma Google forms, os participantes responderam ao protocolo de investigação, no qual constou o questionário de dados sociodemográficos e clínicos, o Coping Health Inventory for Parents (CHIP), a Escala da sobrecarga do cuidador (EDCF) e o Inventário de Desenvolvimento Pós-Traumático (IDPT).
Resultados: Verificou-se uma correlação negativa e significativa entre o coping e o desgaste do cuidador (r = 0,19; p = 0,031) e por outro lado verificou-se uma correlação positiva e significativa entre o coping e o CPT (r = 0,38; p ≤ 0,001). O modelo final de coping foi significativo (F (5,121) = 10,98; p ≤ 0,01) e constituído pelas variáveis Relações com os Outros (β = 0,33; p ≤ 0,01), Desgaste da Relação (β = 0,15; p = 0,058), Desgaste Objetivo (β = -0,21; p = 0,009), Crescimento Pessoal (β = 2,61; p = 0,010) e situação atual (β = 2,10; p = 0,038) são as principais preditoras do coping nesta amostra.
Conclusão: Este estudo contribui com importantes evidências para o estudo do coping no Modelo de Resiliência Familiar, sendo que se propõem que estudos futuros incluam variáveis positivas para a compreensão do coping, neste modelo.Introduction: Paediatric chronic diseases have been conceptualized as an extremely disruptive event that goes beyond the individual level, reflecting on the whole family. From the moment a diagnosis is made, caregivers' roles and responsibilities change to accommodate the child's needs. Coping is considered a process that actively contributes to family adaptation to the disease. The main objective of this investigation is to evaluate Coping and its relationship with several clinical, sociodemographic and psychosocial factors, namely the Caregiver burden and Post-traumatic growth (PTG).
Method: The sample consists of 127 participants (M = 40.25; SD = 7.38) who are or have been caregivers of children/adolescents with chronic diseases, whose diagnosis was made between 0 and 19 years old and fluent in the Portuguese language. Through the Google forms platform, participants responded to the investigation protocol, which included the questionnaire of sociodemographic and clinical data, the Coping Health Inventory for Parents (CHIP), the Caregiver Burden Scale (MBCBS) and the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI).
Results: There was a negative and significant correlation between coping and caregiver burden (r = -0.19; p = 0.031) and on the other hand, there was a positive and significant correlation between coping and PTG (r = 0 , 38; p ≤ 0.001). The final coping model was significant (F (5,121) = 10.98; p ≤ 0.01) and consisted of the variables Relations with others (β = 0.33; p ≤ 0.01), Relationship Burden (β = 0.15; p = 0.058), Objective Burden (β = -0.21; p = 0.009), Personal Growth (β = 2.61; p = 0.010) and current situation (β = 2.10; p = 0.038) are the main predictors of coping in this sample.
Conclusion: This study provides important evidence for the study of coping in the Resiliency Model of Family Stress, and it is proposed that future studies include positive variables for understanding coping in this model
COVID-19: Do weather conditions influence the transmission of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in Brasília and Manaus, Brazil?
No full textThe global outbreak of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2
(COVID-19) disease is affecting every part of human lives.
Several researchers investigated to understand how temperature,
humidity and air pollution had an influence on
COVID-19 transmission. Transmission of COVID-19 due
to temperature and humidity is a pertinent question. There
is a lack of study of Covid-19 in tropical climate countries.
This study aims to analyze the correlation between weather
and Covid-19 pandemic in Brasília and Manaus, two states
of Brazil. The research topic is important to know how the
climate affects or predisposes the spread of COVID-19.
This knowledge will provide elements to decision-makers
regarding health and public health standards and decisions.
This study employed a secondary data analysis of surveillance
data of Covid-19 from the Ministry of Health of Brazil and
weather from the National Institute of Meteorology of Brazil.
These are Brazilian public organizations that, on a daily
basis, record this information on a systematic basis of dates.
They are central federal organizations, responsible for data
analysis and public policy planning to combat Covid-19.
The data are reliables and obtained from reliable government
sources. We systematically record all information for 51
days, during a period of high disease growth in the country.
The components of weather include low temperature (°C),
high temperature (°C), temperature average (°C), humidity
(%), and amount of rainfall (mm). Pearson-rank correlation
test showed that high temperature (r=.643; p<.001),
low temperature (r=.640; p<.001) and humidity (r=.248;
p<.005) were significantly correlated with deaths caused by
Covid-19 pandemic used for data analysis. Social isolation
rate (β = -.254; p<.001) and daily record of new cases (β =
.332; p<.001), with adjusted R-squared of .623, were the
predictors of deaths acummuled by Covid-19. The finding
serves as an input to reduce the incidence rate of Covid-19
in Brazil. Statistical results show evidence of the relationship
between climate elements and COVID-19 indicators,
such as the number of deaths, spread of contamination and
social isolation rate. The study of dimensions of climate as a
seasonal pattern and its relationship to COVID-19 benefits
epidemiological surveillance. The more geographic spaces
are known, more will help to understand the differences
in disease behavior in different places. The results of this
research showed that environmental conditions influence the
contagion and speed of transmission of Covid-19. Policies
that contribute to benefits to health and sustainability need
to be planned. The contribution of climate and other factors, such as air pollution, for example, require additional studies.
Environmental changes, such as climate change and biodiversity,
must also be investigated for their impact on human
health. Acting in prevention, including the promotion of
socially acceptable behaviors on the part of the population,
seems to be the best way to deal with Covid-19.Resumen: El brote mundial de la enfermedad por SARS-
-CoV-2 (COVID-19) está afectando todos los aspectos de
la vida humana. Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar
la correlación entre factores del clima y la pandemia de
Covid-19 en Brasilia y Manaos, dos estados de Brasil. El
tema de investigación es importante para conocer cómo el
clima afecta o predispone el contagio por COVID-19. Y
aporta elementos a los tomadores de decisiones en cuanto
a normas y decisiones sanitarias y de salud pública. Se
empleó un análisis de datos secundarios de datos de vigilancia
de COVID-19 del Ministerio de Salud de Brasil y
el clima del Instituto Nacional de Meteorología de Brasil.
Se registró sistemáticamente toda la información durante
51 días, durante un período de alto crecimiento de la enfermedad
en el país. Los componentes del clima incluyen
baja temperatura (°C), alta temperatura (°C), temperatura
promedio (°C), humedad (%) y cantidad de lluvia (mm).
La prueba de correlación de rango de Pearson mostró que
la temperatura alta (r = .643; p <.001), la temperatura baja
(r = .640; p <.001) y la humedad (r = .248; p <.005) se
correlacionaron significativamente con muertes causadas
por la pandemia de Covid-19 utilizada para el análisis de
datos. La tasa de aislamiento social (β = -.254; p <.001) y
el registro diario de nuevos casos (β = .332; p <.001), con
un R cuadrado ajustado de .623, fueron los predictores de
muertes acumuladas por COVID -19.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
O impacto Phubbing nos afetos, na qualidade das relações de amizade e no sentimento de pertença: um estudo quasi-experimental
No full textDissertação de Mestradoapresentada
no ISPA – Instituto Universitário para obtenção de
grau de Mestre em Psicologia ClínicaObjetivo: Investigar o impacto da exposição ao Phubbing (ação de ignorar a situação ou a pessoa com quem se está a interagir presencialmente para focar a atenção no próprio aparelho smartphone) nos afetos, na qualidade da relação de amizade e no sentimento de pertença. Método: 96 participantes assistiram a uma animação de 120 segundos que mostrava a interação entre dois amigos. Foi pedido que se imaginassem a fazer parte desta interação da forma mais vívida possível. Existiram três diferentes condições de vídeos: 1- sem phubbing, nenhum dos participantes utilizou o smartphone durante a conversa; 2- phubbing parcial, o parceiro de conversação utilizou o smartphone parte do tempo; 3- phubbing extensivo, o parceiro de conversação utilizou constantemente o smartphone. Cada participante foi alocado a uma condição diferente, e foram avaliados em relação à sua perceção acerca dos afetos percebidos, qualidade da relação de amizade e sentimento de pertença. Resultados: Participantes alocados à condição sem phubbing percecionaram mais afetos positivos do que negativos, percecionaram que a relação de amizade em questão é de maior qualidade e percecionaram maiores níveis de sentimento de pertença, quando comparados com os congéneres que foram alvos de phubbing de forma parcial ou de forma extensiva. Conclusão: O comportamento de phubbing com amigos pode deteriorar a qualidade da relação de amizade, bem como o tipo de afeto percebido e causar a diminuição da perceção do sentimento de pertença. Ações que alertem para este efeito deverão ser pensadas e implementadas, para proteção do bem-estar individual e relacional.Objective: The purpose of this experimental research was to investigate possible impacts from phubbing between friends - the act of snubbing another party in a social interaction by instead focusing on one’s mobile phone. Method: 96 participants watched a 120 second animation of the interaction between two friends and were instructed to imagine themselves as part of this interaction as vividly as possible. The participants watched one of three video scenarios: in the first, one party displayed no phubbing behaviour throughout their interaction; the second video displayed phubbing behaviour during part of their interaction; and the third scenario displayed phubbing behaviour extensively. During the data collection phase of the study, the scenario that each participant watched was determined in a non-random distribution, on a first-come, first-serve basis by the investigator. The participants’ reactions were evaluated based on positive and negative affects, friendship quality and sense of belonging. Results: Participants who did not perceive themselves as being subjected to phubbing behaviour associated more favourably positive affects and less negative affects. They also perceived a higher quality of friendship and a greater feeling of belonging than those who perceived themselves as the subjects of phubbing behaviour. Conclusion: This research reveals that phubbing behavior in face-to-face interactions can deteriorate the quality of the friendships, lower the level of perceived affections and diminish the sense of belonging
