Resumo(s)
Na literatura na área da parentalidade salienta-se que a relação entre envolvimento parental, stress parental e satisfação conjugal tem sido contemplada em alguns estudos. Contudo, o papel mediador do stress parental na relação entre as outras duas variáveis está insuficientemente explorado do ponto de vista empírico. O presente estudo tem os seguintes objetivos: (1) analisar a relação bivariada entre as três variáveis num grupo de pais e num grupo de mães; (2) analisar o papel mediador do stress parental na relação entre o envolvimento parental e a satisfação conjugal em cada grupo. Participaram no estudo 438 indivíduos, pais (n = 218) e mães (n = 220) de crianças com idade escolar (5-12 anos). Utilizaram-se as versões portuguesas do Inventory of Father Involvement-Short Form, do Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, da Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale, e um Questionário Demográfico e Psicossocial. Os resultados mostraram que, em ambos os grupos, o envolvimento parental se associou negativamente com o stress parental (rpais = -.19; rmães = -.19) e positivamente com a satisfação conjugal (rpais = .32; rmães = .29), e que o stress se associou negativamente com a satisfação conjugal (rpais = -.30; rmães = -.25). Verificou-se ainda que o envolvimento teve um efeito direto na satisfação e que o stress parental mediou a relação entre estas variáveis, no grupo dos pais (β = .05, EPBoot = .03, 95% ICBoot [.01, .11] e no grupo das mães (β = .04, EPBoot = .02, 95% ICBoot [.01, .07]. O modelo de mediação teve uma capacidade explicativa tendencialmente superior no grupo dos pais, apesar de o padrão de resultados ser idêntico em ambos os grupos. Os resultados contribuem para um melhor entendimento da relação de mediação testada (que carecia de estudo), bem como do impacto de variáveis da parentalidade na conjugalidade (menos investigado do que o seu inverso).
The literature on parenting highlights that the relationship between parental involvement, parental stress and marital satisfaction has been considered in some studies. However, the mediating role of parental stress in the relationship between the other two variables has been under-explored from an empirical point of view. The present study has the following objectives: (1) to analyze the bivariate relationship among the three variables in a group of fathers and a group of mothers; (2) to analyze the mediating role of parental stress in the relationship between parental involvement and marital satisfaction in each group. The sample was composed of 438 individuals, fathers (n = 218) and mothers (n = 220) of school-aged children (5-12 years). The Portuguese versions of the Inventory of Father Involvement-Short Form, the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, the Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale and a Demographic and Psychosocial Questionnaire were used. The results showed that, in both groups, parental involvement was negatively associated with parental stress (rfathers = -.19; rmothers = -.19) and positively associated with marital satisfaction (rfathers = .32; rmothers = .29), and that parental stress was negatively associated with marital satisfaction (rfathers = -.30; rmothers = -.25). Involvement was also found to have a direct effect on satisfaction and parental stress was observed to mediate the relationship between these variables, in the group of fathers (β = .05, SEBoot = .03, 95% CIBoot [.01, .11]) and in the group of mothers (β = .04, SEBoot = .02, 95% CIBoot [.01, .07]. The mediation model tended to have a higher explanatory power in the group of fathers, despite an identical pattern of results in both groups. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the mediation relationship under analysis (which required further study), as well as of the impact of parenting variables on conjugality (less investigated than in the opposite direction).
