“…On the other hand, individuals with an interdependent self-construal, may depend more on cultivating positive relations with others to maintain their self-esteem (Cross, Bacon, & Morris, 2000). This is supported by research on women who were presumed to have a more interdependent self-construal where it was found that women's self-esteem depended more on positive feedback from others and harmonious relationships compared to men (Roberts & NolenHoeksema, 1989, 1994Schwalbe & Staples, 1991;Zuckerman, 1989).…”

“…Some people respond with avoidance, denial or minimization of the discrimination; while others, engage in problem solving and emotion expression in response to such events. Previous research has also found different predictors of anxiety, depressive and withdrawal symptoms for men compared to women (Zuckerman, 1989). In response to stress, men reported increased activity compared to women, which was inversely correlated with depressive symptoms.…”

“…The coping literature supports variation in how stressors are appraised and experienced by different individuals (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984;Miller & Kaiser, 2001;Sethi & Nolen-Hoeksema, 1997;Zuckerman, 1989). In particular, different predictors related to selfconcept have been found to be associated with anxiety, depressive and withdrawal symptoms for men compared to women (Zuckerman, 1989).…”

“…In addition, while lower self-confidence was correlated with increased depressive symptoms for men and women, lower self-esteem and self-concept were related to increased anxiety symptoms for men compared to women. Research suggests that outcomes might be influenced by how men and women cope differently with stressors (Rusting & Nolen-Hoeksema, 1998;Zuckerman, 1989).…”

Current theoretical models suggest that the most potent and impacting discrimination experienced by African Americans in the post Jim Crow era are subtle and unconscious forms of discrimination that are experienced on a daily basis. This study investigates the relationship between perceived everyday discrimination and anxiety and depressive symptoms. Further, we examine gender as a moderator of this relationship. Data come from the 1995 Detroit Area Study data with 570 African American respondents. Results indicate that perceived discrimination is directly related to both symptoms of depression and anxiety. Gender moderates the relationship between discrimination and anxiety symptoms, but not discrimination and depressive symptoms. Overall, different patterns of relationships were apparent for men and women.

“…Em consonância com o que a investigação tem evidenciado (Neves & Ribeiro, 2000;Tarlow & Haaga, 1996;Vaz Serra, Ponciano & Relvas, 1982;Zuckerman, 1989) é o género feminino que apresenta maiores níveis de ansiedade comparativamente com o género masculino, todavia é para a AnsiedadeTraço que os valores médios são superiores, o que sugere que a informação ajudou a diminuir a ansiedade percepcionada no momento do exame. A literatura refere que os valores de ansiedade elevados no género feminino devem-se, a uma maior emocionalidade, relacionada com factores de ordem hormonal a que provavelmente, se associam outros factores (Vaz Serra, Ponciano & Relvas, 1982).…”

Resumo: O presente artigo analisa em que medida a informação prestada aos utentes antes da realização de exames de diagnóstico não-invasivos, contribui para a redução da ansiedade percepcionada pelo sujeito. A amostra do estudo constituída por 50 utentes de um hospital da área de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, de ambos os sexos com idades compreendidas entre os 20 e 70 anos, foi dividida em dois grupos; i) Experimental (informados) e ii) Controlo (não-informados). Recorremos à adaptação portuguesa do State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) como instrumento de medida e foram originalmente construídos cinco Folhetos Informativos, contendo informação específica sobre os exames prescritos. Os resultados sugerem que, a ansiedade se correlaciona negativamente com a informação prestada e com o nível de habilitações literárias dos utentes não-informados. Os dados obtidos sugerem ainda, níveis de ansiedade mais elevados para o género feminino e evidenciam diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os dois grupos, em função das variáveis demográficas . Palavras-chave:Informação prestada ao doente, ansiedade percepcionada, exames não-invasivos de cardiologia. NON-INVASIVE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS The patient's perceived anxietyAbstract: This article analyzes to what extent the information provided to patients before performing non-invasive diagnostic examinations, helps to reduce the anxiety perceived by the subject. The study sample consisted of 50 users of a hospital of the area of Lisbon and Tagus Valley, of both sexes aged between 20 and 70 years, was divided into two groups; i) Experimental (informed) and ii) Control (uninformed). We used the Portuguese adaptation of the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) as a measuring tool and were originally built five Informative leaflets containing specific information about the prescribed examinations. The results suggest that anxiety was correlated negatively with the information provided and with the level of educational attainment of non-informed users. The data suggest too, higher levels of anxiety for female gender and suggest differences statistically significant between the two groups, in function of the demographic variables.Keywords: Information provided to the patient, perceived anxiety, non-invasive examinations of cardiology .
