La littérature sur l’électrophysiologie des émotions ne semble pas trouver de consensus. Certaines études démontrent que les gens réagissent davantage à des stimuli de valence positive, tandis que d’autres concluent le contraire. L’objectif principal de ce mémoire est de vérifier les effets de la variable relationnelle sur les réactions physiologiques de sujets issus de la population étudiante. C’est-à-dire, les réactions physiologiques sont-elles influencées uniquement par la valence affective des différentes émotions ou s’ils sont également influencés par le contexte relationnel des stimuli? Le second objectif du projet de recherche proposé est de vérifier s’il existe un effet d’interaction entre la qualité affective des schémas relationnels des participants et la nature relationnelle ou non des stimuli. Pour ce faire, le rythme cardiaque a été pris sur 16 sujets divisés en 2 groupes, basés sur leurs résultats au TAT, analysés sur l’échelle de la tonalité affective du SCORS. Finalement, un troisième objectif est de comparer l’expérience subjective des participants aux mesures physiologiques obtenues. Les résultats démontrent que les gens réagissent davantage aux scénarios non relationnels que ceux relationnels. De plus, les grandes tailles d’effet des deux groupes (tonalité affective haute et basse) semblent indiquer l’importance de prendre en considération cette variable dans de futures recherches. Finalement, d’autres études, notamment avec de plus grands échantillons, seront nécessaires pour montrer l’importance de la qualité relationnelle dans l’expérience émotive.

Introduction Entry dyspareunia is a sexual health concern which affects about 21% of women in the general population. Characterized by pain provoked during vaginal penetration, introital dyspareunia has been shown by controlled studies to have a negative impact on the psychological well-being, sexual function, sexual satisfaction, and quality of life of afflicted women. Many cognitive and affective variables may influence the experience of pain and associated psychosexual problems. However, the role of the partner's cognitive responses has been studied very little. Aim The aim of the present study was to examine the associations between partners' catastrophizing and their perceptions of women's self-efficacy at managing pain on one side and women's pain intensity, sexual function, and sexual satisfaction on the other. Methods One hundred seventy-nine heterosexual couples (mean age for women = 31, SD = 10.0; mean age for men = 33, SD = 10.6) in which the woman suffered from entry dyspareunia participated in the study. Both partners completed quantitative measures. Women completed the Pain Catastrophizing Scale and the Painful Intercourse Self-Efficacy Scale. Men completed the significant-other versions of these measures. Main Outcome Measures Dependent measures were women's responses to (i) the Pain Numeric Visual Analog Scale; (ii) the Female Sexual Function Index; and (iii) the Global Measure of Sexual Satisfaction scale. Results Controlled for women's pain catastrophizing and self-efficacy, results indicate that higher levels of partner-perceived self-efficacy and lower levels of partner catastrophizing are associated with decreased pain intensity in women with entry dyspareunia, although only partner catastrophizing contributed unique variance. Partner-perceived self-efficacy and catastrophizing were not significantly associated with sexual function or satisfaction in women. Conclusions The findings suggest that partners' cognitive responses may influence the experience of entry dyspareunia for women, pointing toward the importance of considering the partner when treating this sexual health problem.
