Resumo
Considerando a influência da fobia social em pessoas com esse diagnóstico e a grande utilização da internet como forma de interagir socialmente, objetiva-se construtir e fazer a validação preliminar de um instrumento de investigação sobre interações virtuais e presenciais. A partir desse instrumento, objetiva-se comparar o uso de interações virtuais entre pessoa com e sem indicativo de fobia social, bem como analisar as correlações entre o repertório de habilidades sociais e o uso da internet para interações sociais. Para isso, uma amostra de 64 universitários, sendo 26 com indicativo de fobia social e 38 sem indicativo responderam aos instrumentos: Inventário de Habilidades Sociais (IHS - Del Prette); Avaliação de Comportamentos e Contextos na Vida Universitária - Q-ACC-VU, mini-SPIN (Social Phobia Inventory) e o Instrumento sobre Interações Virtuais e Presenciais desenvolvido. Os resultados indicam que o instrumento cosntruído apresenta boas qualidades psicométricas, considerando os resultados das validades (preliminares) de construto, discriminante e concorrente. Os resultados também indicam que os participantes com indicativo de fobia social tendem a se comunicar com um número reduzido de pessoas tanto pessoalmente como virtualmente devido às dificuldades que encontram nas interações presenciais e que se mantém nas interações virtuais. Contudo, a internet pode ser uma ferramenta importante para essas pesssoas porque elas demonstram ter mais dificuldade de tratar de alguns temas pessoalmente do que pela Internet, sendo este um ambiente em que há menor exposição pessoal, evitando que se demonstre insegurança, ansiedade e diminuindo a exposição à reação do interlocutor, que são fortes estímulos aversivos para pessoas com indicativo de fobia social. Ao esquivarem-se desses aversivos...
Considering the influence of social phobia in patients with this diagnosis and the widespread use of the internet as a form of social interation, this work aims at constructing and validating (preliminary) a tool for personal and virtual interactions survey. With this tool, this study compares the virtual interactions among people with and without social phobia inclination and analyzes social skills repertoire and internet usage correlations for social intercations. It was selected a sample of 64 graduate students, 26 of them had social phobia inclination and 38 had not. They were asked to answer: Social Skills Inventory (IHS - Del Prette). Evaluations of Behaviours and Environments in Graduate Life (Q-ACC-VU); mini SPIN (Social Phobia Inventory) and the Virtual and Personal Interaction Survey developed. The results indicate that this survey tools has good psychometric qualities, considering the (preliminary) results of validity of construct, discriminatory and concurrent. It was found that participants with social phobia inclination tend to communicate, both virtually and personally, with less people than participants who do not have this inclination. It happens due to difficulties encountered in the face-to-face interactions that are maintained in the virtual world. However, internet can be an important tool for people inclined to social phobia because they demonostrated to have more difficulty to deal with some subjects personally than virtually, which is an environment where there is less personal exposure, avoiding the demonstration of insecurity and anxiety and decreasing exposure to the reaction of the interlocutor, that are strong aversive stimuli for people with social phobia. By avoiding these aversive stimuli, individuals are negatively reinforced. On the other hand, the possibility of talking about these subjects on... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
