A Alexitimia e a Desregulação Emocional como Correlatos da Agressividade na Idade Avançada: estudo numa amostra de idosos
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objetivos: explorar os níveis de agressividade autopercecionados numa população idosa institucionalizada, comparando-os com um grupo de idosos da comunidade; estudar os correlatos sociodemográficos e clínicos da agressividade e as correlações entre a agressividade e a desregulação emocional e a alexitimia. Método: A amostra foi constituída por 326 idosos, sendo 209 da comunidade e com 117 Institucionalizados, com uma média de idades de 75,12 anos (DP = 8,79). Todos os participantes foram avaliados com uma bateria de testes que incluía o Aggression Questionnaire, a Toronto Alexythimia Scale – 20 itens e a Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. Resultados: Não foram encontradas diferenças a nível de agressividade entre idosos institucionalizados e da comunidade, foram sim encontrados maiores níveis de alexitimia no grupo de idosos institucionalizados, assim como níveis mais elevados de desregulação emocional. O nível da agressividade autopercecionada em idosos institucionalizados, correlacionou-se com a alexitimia e a desregulação emocional. Conclusão: A alexitimia e a desregulação emocional correlacionam-se com a agressividade autopecercionada na idade avançada. A alexitimia e a desregulação emocional correlacionam-se com a agressividade auto-percebida em pessoas idosas institucionalizadas. Esta descoberta é importante para orientar as escolhas terapêuticas nestes contextos. / Objectives: To explore the levels of self-perceived aggressiveness in institutionalized elderly, comparing them to a group of elderly people in the community; to study the socio- demographic and clinical correlates of aggressiveness and the correlations between aggressiveness and emotional dysregulation and alexithymia. Method: The sample consisted of 326 elderly, 209 from the community and 117 institutionalized, with an average age of 75.12 years (SD = 8.79). All participants were assessed with a battery of tests, which included the Aggression Questionnaire, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale - 20 items, and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. Results: No differences were found in aggressiveness between institutionalized and community elderly, but higher levels of alexitimia were found in the institutionalized elderly group, as well as higher levels of emotional dysregulation. The level of self- perceived aggressiveness in institutionalized elderly correlated with alexitimia and emotional dysregulation. Conclusion: Alexithymia and emotional dysregulation correlate with self-perceived aggressiveness in older institutionalized people. This finding is important to guide therapy choices in these settings.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
