Verdadeiro ou Falso? A ambiguidade de uma lista de frases permite o estudo de processos de atribuição de verdade

Teresa Garcia-Marques, Rita R. Silva, Joana Mello

Abstract


Neste artigo são apresentados os dados de dois pré-testes realizados a diversas frases que representam conhecimentos mundanos. As frases foram pré-testadas relativamente à dimensão subjectiva de verdade junto de amostras da população Portuguesa aplicando dois critérios diferentes. No primeiro pré-teste as avaliações de conjunto de afirmações verdadeiras foram contrastadas com as avaliações feitas de afirmações falsas obtidas por alteração de um pequeno detalhe da frase original. No segundo pré-teste um outro conjunto de frases foi avaliada apenas na sua versão verdadeira ou na sua versão falsa numa escala dicotómica de “verdadeiro ou falso”.  Os resultados salientam as frases consideradas ambíguas e a sua relevância para a investigação de enviesamentos de percepção de verdade. Adicionalmente, algumas das frases ambíguas apresentadas foram testadas relativamente ao grau de “divertimento” que promovem com o objectivo de permitir o controlo de efeitos afectivos nos seus julgamentos.
