Resumo(s)
O estudo da vinculação nas relações românticas é uma área que já conquistou
um grande relevo, e a influência da vinculação na satisfação e no compromisso
relacional está já bem documentada. Neste momento carece de mais investigação o
problema de que variáveis podem mediar esta influência. O presente estudo surge neste
âmbito, explorando o possível papel das competências sociais nesta relação, mais
especificamente as competências sociais íntimas. Adicionalmente, explorou-se este
efeito mediador relativamente à vinculação a cada um dos progenitores. Foi
hipotetizado que a segurança da vinculação na infância aumenta a satisfação e o
compromisso nas relações de casal, e que esta influência é mediada pelas competências
sociais íntimas. Para testar esta hipótese foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos de
auto-relato: uma versão reduzida da Mother-Father-Peer Scale (MFPS); uma versão
reduzida do Inventory of Parents and Peers Attachment (IPPA); uma versão adaptada do
Inventário de Habilidades Sociais Conjugais (IHSC), com alguns itens sobre a Tomada
de Perspectiva e a Gestão Emocional acrescentados; a Relationship Assessment Scale
(RAS); e a Parte IV da Escala do Modelo do Investimento (EMI), relativa ao
compromisso. Estes instrumentos foram aplicados a uma amostra de 244 participantes
actualmente envolvidos em relações de casal. Os dados foram analisados com recurso a
modelos de equações estruturais com variáveis latentes. A verificação das hipóteses
diferiu para diferentes dimensões das competências sociais íntimas: para a dimensão de
Competência Interpessoal verificou-se um efeito de mediação, mas apenas entre a
vinculação ao progenitor do mesmo sexo e a satisfação relacional; para a dimensão
Passividade verificou-se um efeito de mediação apenas para os homens, entre a
experiência de infância com a mãe e satisfação relacional; para a dimensão
Assertividade não se encontrou nenhum efeito de mediação.
The study of attachment in romantic relationships is an area that conquered a large importance, and the influence of attachment in relational satisfaction and commitment is well documented. Therefore, at this moment, investigation on what variables can mediate this influence would be most useful. The present study goes in this direction, exploring the possible mediating role of social skills, and specifically intimate social skills. Moreover, this mediating effect was explored in relation to attachment to each parent. It was hypothesized that security in attachment increases relationship satisfaction and commitment and that this influence is mediated by intimate social skills. To test this hypothesis, the following self-report instruments were used: a reduced version of the Mother-Father-Peer Scale (MFPS); a reduced version of the Inventory of Parents and Peers Attachment (IPPA); an adapted version of the Marital Social Skills Inventory (MSSI), with some added items of Perspective Taking and Emotional Management; the Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS); and Part IV of the Investment Model Scale (IMS), concerning commitment. These instruments were administered to a sample of 244 participants currently involved in romantic relationships. The data was analyzed using structured equation models with latent variables. The verification of the hypothesis differed for different dimensions of intimate social skills: for the Interpersonal Competence dimension a mediating effect was observed, but only between attachment to the same-sex parent and relational satisfaction; for the Passivity dimension a mediating effect was observed only for men, between childhood experience with the mother and relational satisfaction; for the Assertiveness dimension no mediating effect was found.
