RESUMO:

The general objective of the thesis was to analyze the effects of the practice of mindfulness on emotional reactivity, emotional regulation, and also on the perception of psychological well-being and stress of postgraduate students. The choice of this population results from the increase in the psychological distress of students in facing emotional demands of academic training. It was expected that the mindfulness-based intervention would reduce emotional reactivity and the perception of stress, in addition to increasing the perception of psychological well-being and mindfulness, with improvements in the regulatory process of emotions experienced in the context of postgraduate studies. In the literature review on mindfulness relationships and the process of emotional regulation, the need for further studies that considered the procedural aspect of mindfulness and made it possible to capture the subjective experience of mindfulness practice was indicated. Two empirical studies were then proposed to explore different effects of mindfulness practice. The first study aimed to explore the effects of this practice on emotional reactivity, measured from a) self-perception of valence and arousal in the assessment of affective images; and b) postural oscillation when viewing these images. In the second study, the effects of mindfulness practice on emotional regulation were investigated, measured by scales of stress perception and psychological well-being and pre- and post-intervention interviews. 45 graduate students participated in the study, randomly allocated to intervention and control groups. Pre- and post-intervention measures were applied. Tests of variance analysis of repeated measures were carried out and, in the case of the interviews, the thematic content analysis technique was used. The results of the first empirical study showed a change in the baseline postural pattern of the intervention group, only in neutral images, with increased postural sway, suggesting greater exploration of personal space, as well as a reduction in the perception of arousal in unpleasant images among students who went through the intervention. The results of the second empirical study showed an increase in levels of mindfulness and psychological well-being, with a reduction in perceived stress and the use of strategies to cope with stress in the intervention groups. Despite some limitations, the thesis provides empirical evidence of positive effects of mindfulness. It is expected that the results will be incorporated into the training processes of new researchers, making them more capable of dealing with the challenges of a career with increasing demands that require greater emotional management.
