Abstract(s)
A motivação que deu origem a essa pesquisa teve início no nosso atendimento clínico psicológico, ao constatarmos a existência de uma alta frequência de crenças incapacitantes, relacionadas ao fracasso, sobretudo entre os mais jovens.
O presente trabalho tem como finalidade analisar e compreender, as diferenças geracionais dos significados de sucesso, assim como as crenças e comportamentos individuais associados a ele, e suas especificidades num contexto intercultural e intergeracional.
Para a realização dessa pesquisa, foi elaborado um questionário online, disponibilizado nas redes sociais, no qual participaram e responderam 291 pessoas (brasileiros e portugueses) sobre questões, relativas ao sucesso. A investigação fundamentou-se, destarte, nas respostas dadas a essas questões. Examinou-se e discutiu-se, então, as crenças pessoais relativas ao significado de bem-sucedido e as prioridades envolvidas na avaliação do termo, assim como as crenças e comportamentos individuais de autoconceito, autovalor, capacidade, otimismo, pessimismo, preocupações, perfeccionismo, hábitos de organização, planeamento e capacidade de distribuição do tempo.
Constatou-se, dessa maneira,, a necessidade de uma ressignificação do termo, uma vez que os significados mais recorrentes, no senso comum, ligados ao sucesso económico, não se mostraram compatíveis com os significados outorgados pela maior parte dos participantes da pesquisa que foram frequentemente associados à felicidade, ao bem-estar, à família, à realização, qualidade de vida e ao sentido da vida. Essa ambiguidade do termo sucesso, mais comumente mencionado como sinónimo de riqueza, fama e poder, e, continuamente, associado à excelência, à perfeição e à elevados resultados desportivos, escolares, profissionais, empresariais, tem afetado sobretudo os jovens. A maioria dos respondentes pesquisados conceituou-se como bem-sucedido, demonstrando existir uma flexibilização conceitual do conceito de sucesso. Os grupos mais jovens, além de se compreenderem menos bem-sucedidos, demonstraram um maior antagonismo de significados, o que indicou uma incompatibilidade entre o que eles entendem por ser bem-sucedido e o que realmente valorizam para se julgarem bem-sucedidos. Por outro lado, os mais velhos mostraram-se mais resilientes, menos pessimistas, menos preocupados e menos receosos com o fracasso, o que contribui e exprime saúde física e emocional.
The motivation that gave rise to this research began in our psychological clinical care when we verified the existence of a high frequency of incapacitating beliefs related to failure, especially among younger patients. The present work aims to analyze and understand the generational differences of the meanings of success, as well as the individual beliefs and behaviors associated with it, and its specificities in an intercultural and intergenerational context. In order to carry out this research, an online questionnaire was created and made available on social networks, in which 291 people (Brazilian and Portuguese) participated and answered questions related to success. The investigation based itself on the answers given to these questions. Then, an examination and a discussion of the personal beliefs of the meaning of being successful and the priorities involved in self-assessment of the term, as well as individual beliefs and behaviors of self-concept, self-worth, ability, optimism, pessimism, concerns, perfectionism, organizational habits, planning and time distribution capacity took place. The need for a resignification of the term was verified, considering that the most recurrent meanings, based on common sense and related to economic success, are not compatible with the meanings granted by the majority of the research participants, which are often associated with happiness, well-being, family, self-fulfillment, quality of life and the meaning of life. This ambiguity of the term “success”, more commonly referred to as a synonym for wealth, fame and power, and continually associated with excellence, perfection and high performance results in sports, school, professional and business environments, has especially affected young people. Most of the respondents surveyed self-conceptualized as successful, demonstrating that there is a conceptual flexibilization of the definition of success. Younger groups, in addition to perceiving themselves as less successful, have demonstrated a greater antagonism of meanings, indicating an incompatibility between what they understand to be successful and what they truly value in order to consider themselves successful people. On the other hand, older people showed themselves to be more resilient, less pessimistic, less concerned in general and less fearful of failure, which contributes to and is expressed in physical and emotional health.
