Resumo: Beliefs of personal control over uncontrollable events have often been found to be related to a sense of well being (Taylor & Brown, 1988). In this paper we argue that, under threat and when personal control is impossible, subjects will automatically activate other types of control beliefs (secondary control beliefs) to cope with the threat. In three studies, earthquake threat and the feeling of personal uncontrollability were made salient in the experimental condition, and the RT to secondary-related control words were assessed. Results show that two types of secondary control beliefs were activated under threat: religious control and political control. This result shows that these more social types of beliefs are used to cope the threat when more personal beliefs are not available.

Neste artigo procuramos mostrar que, quando os sujeitos estão sob ameaça e controlo pessoal é impossível, os sujeitos activam automaticamente outros tipo de crenças de controlo (as crenças de controlo secundário) de modo a conseguirem lidar com a ameaça. Nos três estudos que apresentamos, tornámos saliente a ameaça sísmica e a ausência de controlo pessoal sobre a ameaça (condição experimental) e o tempo de reacção das palavras associadas ao controlo secundário avaliado. Os resultados mostram que há dois tipos de crenças de controlo automaticamente activadas em condição de ameaça: o controlo religioso e o controlo político. Estes resultados mostram que estes tipos de crenças sociais são utilizadas para lidar com situações de ameaça quando as crenças pessoais não estão disponíveis.Associação Portuguesa de Psicologia1996-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v11i2/3.608https://doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v11i2/3.608PSICOLOGIA; Vol. 11 No. 2/3 (1996); 159-168PSICOLOGIA; Vol. 11 N.º 2/3 (1996); 159-1682183-24710874-2049reponame: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/608https://revista.appsicologia.org/index.php/rpsicologia/article/view/608/354Lima, Luísainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-11-09T12:50:41Zoai:oai.appsicologia.org:article/608Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:10:23.385122Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
