Overexcitability: A Psychological Comparison Between Dancers, Opera Singers, and Athletes

Invariância Fatorial e Normatização das Escalas de Sobre-Excitabilidade

“…A construção e a utilização de instrumentos de SE têm sido alvo de investigações em diferentes países (Al-Onizat, 2013;Almutairi, 2010;Botellaab, Fürstac, Myszkowskiad, Stormead, Costa, & Luminetb, 2015;Rost, Wirthwein, & RSteinmayr, 2014;Siu, 2010;Van den Broeck, Hofmans, Cooremans, & Staels, 2014), sendo que as pesquisas sobre D&T (Chang & Kuo, 2009;Piirto & Fraas, 2012;Tieso, 2007a;) e a associação entre os cinco padrões e o sexo dos respondentes se destacam. No último caso, tem sido observado que pessoas do sexo feminino tendem a exibir médias significativamente mais altas nos padrões Emocional e Sensorial (Al-Onizat, 2013;De Bondt & Petegem, 2015;He & Wong, 2014;Miller, Falk, & Huang, 2009;Siu, 2010;Thomson & Jaque, 2016;Tieso, 2007aTieso, , 2007bTreat, 2006;Van den Broeck et al, 2014;, enquanto o sexo masculino tende a apresentar escores médios mais altos nos padrões Psicomotor e Intelectual (De Bondt & Petegem, 2015;Rinn, Mendaglio, Rudasill, & McQueen, 2010;Tieso, 2007b;Van den Broeck et al, 2014). No que se refere à SE Imaginativa, os estudos são controversos.…”

“…Other studies have also proved a relationship between imaginational OE and expressions of low well-being. As mentioned above, Thomson and Jaque (2016) have shown that it explains nearly 18% of variance in shame, and a study by Harrison and Van Haneghan (2011) demonstrated that it is strongly related to insomnia and a fear of the unknown. A positive relationship between imaginational OE and neuroticism was also revealed (Botella et al, 2015).…”

“…This is understandable due to the high sensitivity of people with emotional OE and the persistence of emotions typical of them, which may lead to long-term experience of negative events and depressive symptoms. Actually, in a study by Thomson and Jaque (2016), emotional OE explained more than 15% of variance in anxiety and nearly 10% of variance in depression; in a study by Harrison and Van Haneghan (2011) it correlated positively (just like imaginational OE) with insomnia and a fear of the unknown, while in a study by Limont et al (2014) and Botella et al (2015), it correlated positively with neuroticism.…”

“…The correlations are strongest for imaginational and emotional OE. In a study concerning people with artistic and sporting abilities (Thomson, Jaque, 2016), the relationship between OE and anxiety, depression and shame was investigated. It was found that imaginational and emotional OE explained 17.6% of the variance for shame, whereas emotional OE explained 15.4% of the variance for anxiety and 9.8% of the variance for depression.…”

Overexcitability in actors.

“…The comparison of the actors' results with those of the normalization sample has been acknowledged to be noteworthy, because it allowed the actors' results to be assessed in the context of the results of the larger population. Because the previous study (Thomson & Jaque, 2016) showed that emotional and imaginational OEs significantly predicted shame, anxiety, and depression, this analysis was done precisely regarding these two types of OE. It was determined how many people in the group of actors and in the group of nonactors obtained low (1-3 sten), average (4 -7 sten), and high (8 -10 sten) scores.…”
