O presente projeto de graduação tem como finalidade planear uma investigação científica com o intuito de analisar o impacto do suporte social (i.e., família, amigos e outros significativos) na reinserção social de indivíduos com traços elevados de psicopatia (i.e., ousadia, malvadez e desinibição).
A personalidade psicopática é um conceito de difícil compreensão ao qual estão associados vários preconceitos que implicam no eventual sucesso das intervenções (Skeem, et. al., 2011). Estes indivíduos são percebidos como inalteravelmente perigosos, bem como insensíveis, violentos e impulsivos e, como tal, potenciais criminosos (Skeem, et al., 2011). A compreensão em profundidade do fenómeno da psicopatia permitirá uma melhor adaptação dos programas de intervenção às necessidades específicas destes indivíduos. Nesse sentido, é de relevo explorar a forma como este tipo de traços psicopáticos interagem com a necessidade percebida de suporte social, em contexto prisional. A debilidade a nível do suporte social está diretamente relacionada com o aumento da gravidade tanto de sintomas físicos como psicológicos da reclusão (Andrews, Tennant, Hewson, & Vaillant, 1978; Barrera, 1981; Wilcox, 1981). A rede de apoio tem um papel fundamental no processo de reinserção social, uma vez que, é através dela que são prestados e recebidos todos os cuidados, funcionando como uma barreira para situações de stress e destabilização emocional (Andrews, Tennant, Hewson, & Vaillant, 1978; Barrera, 1981; Wilcox, 1981).
Em termos metodológicos, o presente projeto apresenta uma proposta de investigação assente em métodos quantitativos, com aplicação em Estabelecimentos Prisionais do Norte (i.e., Estabelecimento Prisional de Santa Cruz do Bispo - Masculina, Estabelecimento Prisional de Paços de Ferreira e Estabelecimento Prisional do Porto). Pretende-se estudar o impacto da rede de apoio, no processo de reinserção social, em reclusos com maior expressão de traços de psicopatia.
The purpose of this graduation project is to plan a scientific investigation to analyze the impact of social support (i.e., family, friends, and significant others) on the social reintegration of individuals with high psychopathy traits (i.e., boldness, meanness, and disinhibition). Psychopathic personality is a difficult concept to understand to which several preconceptions are associated that implicate the eventual success of interventions (Skeem, et. al., 2011). These individuals are perceived as unalterably dangerous, as well as insensitive, violent and impulsive, and as such, potential criminals (Skeem, et al., 2011). An in-depth understanding of the phenomenon of psychopathy will allow for better tailoring of intervention programs to the specific needs of these individuals. To this end, it is important to explore how psychopathic traits interact with the perceived need for social support in prison settings. Weakness in social support is directly related to increased severity of both physical and psychological symptoms of imprisonment (Andrews, Tennant, Hewson, & Vaillant, 1978; Barrera, 1981; Wilcox, 1981). The support network plays a key role in the process of social reintegration, since it is through it that all care is provided and received, acting as a barrier to situations of stress and emotional destabilization (Andrews, Tennant, Hewson, & Vaillant, 1978; Barrera, 1981; Wilcox, 1981). In methodological terms, this project presents a research proposal based on quantitative methods, with application in Northern Prison Facilities (i.e., Estabelecimento Prisional de Santa Cruz do Bispo - Masculino, Estabelecimento Prisional de Paços de Ferreira e Estabelecimento Prisional do Porto). The aim was to study the impact of the support network in the process of social reintegration in inmates with higher expression of psychopathy traits.
