Resumo: | Two young adults’ experiences of deliberate personal change in the realms of study habits and social interaction were examined using a qualitative, interview-based case study approach. Both talked about an aspect of their behavior that they had changed and one that they would like to change. Thematic analysis was used to interpret their stories and reach an integrative and contextualized understanding of their individual developmental trajectories. Our analysis explored the use of motivated reasoning to avoid or reinforce change, and the role of emotion in decision-making under uncertainty. These two themes are integrated in our discussion of the role of self-regulation in deliberate change, which sheds light on the experience of ambivalence about change and on the unpredictability of individual development trajectories. Building on theory and research on affective forecasting biases, we propose that a failure of ‘experiential emotional anticipation’ can explain ambivalence about personal change and why people sometimes do not act upon their rational beliefs.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v28i1.625 |

Ambos os participantes falaram de um comportamento que tinham alterado e de outro que gostariam de alterar. Usámos a análise temática para interpretar as suas histórias e compreender as suas trajectórias de desenvolvimento pessoal de uma forma integrada e contextualizada. Nesta análise, exploramos a forma como os enviesamentos de raciocínio podem deter ou impulsionar a mudança, bem como o papel das emoções na tomada de decisão face a perspectivas incertas. Estes temas realçam o papel da auto-regulação na mudança deliberada, ajudando-nos a compreender a experiência de ambivalência em relação à mudança e a dificuldade de prever trajectórias de desenvolvimento. Partindo da teoria e da investigação sobre enviesamentos na previsão de estados emocionais, argumentamos que a dificuldade de antecipar e sentir o impacto emocional de uma decisão ajuda a explicar a ambivalência em relação à mudança pessoal e o facto de as pessoas por vezes não agirem em conformidade com as suas crenças racionais.Associação Portuguesa de Psicologia2014-07-02info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v28i1.625https://doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v28i1.625PSICOLOGIA; Vol. 28 No. 1 (2014); 19-31PSICOLOGIA; Vol. 28 N.º 1 (2014); 19-312183-24710874-2049reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revista.appsicologia.org/index.php/rpsicologia/article/view/625https://revista.appsicologia.org/index.php/rpsicologia/article/view/625/362Lopes, Paulo NunoCoyle, AdrianGallie, Jackinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-11-09T12:50:43Zoai:oai.appsicologia.org:article/625Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:10:23.638245Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
