RESUMO

Independence and seclusion walk together for many women considered as modern women(Ferres Carneiro, 1998). With cultural, social and professional life changes, we live at a timewhen new female roles models are not yet completely defined, affecting the possibility ofchoosing a partner. Nowadays the womans role in society is passing through transformations,established old patterns are not working anymore and new models are being defined. Suchcontingences can have consequences on physical and emotional health, making women moresensitive to stress symptoms. The feelings reveal themselves as behavioral events, attributed tothe person and determinate for the surrounding, the nomination of these feelings is a product oflearning and has a social origin.(Baum,1999) Objective is to check through the report of women,their feelings facing a love relationship and if there is some relation between the feelingidentified with stress level. For this, interviews were performed with 14 women, aged between 28 and 36 years old, without a 1-year established love relationship. The participants were submittedto Lipps Stress Symptoms Inventory for Adults (LSSI) and an interview to identify their feelings in relation to love relationships in the past, present and future. The results indicate that happinesswas chosen for the majority of participant to express their feelings in relation to their past andfuture situations, suggesting that the experiences of love relationship are positives. The majorityof the group presented the feeling of sadness on the actual situation of not having a stable loverelationship, confirming that positive feelings are related to having a love relation and negativefeelings to not being involved in a love relation. It was identified that 8 of the 14 participantpresented stress diagnosis, six (42.9%) were in resistance phase, two (14.3%) in almostexhausting phase and six (42.9%) did not present a stress diagnosis. The predominant symptomspredominance was psychological varying the percentage of between 20% to 100%, indicatingthat predominantly the specimen presented stress with psychological symptoms. Women withouta stable love relationship indicate an external stress source, when identified absence of stablelove relationship as an aversive contingence. Indifference to love experiences can be interpretedas an internal stress source, no discrimination of the feelings or its denial is covering behaviorand, thus difficult to access and interpret. It was observed that participants who were on lightstress phase live and express their feelings, even their feelings of sadness. And participants whofeel or express indifference present more grave stress symptoms. These results suggest that moreresearch must be performed in this area to understand better the contingence influence onaffective women lives.
