Resumo(s)
The literature suggests that families of children and youths in residential
care are often associated with negative social images. These images may
shape prejudiced attitudes and behavior toward them and, when shared
by care professionals, compromise the effectiveness of family intervention
and reintegration. This study explored these social images in a sample of
176 participants with and without professional contact with this population.
Participants were asked to indicate five attributes describing families of
children or youths living in residential care or in mainstream environments
with low or medium socioeconomic status (SES). Results indicated that both
families of children and youths in residential care and families of low SES were predominantly described with negative attributes. However, only the former
were characterized by dysfunctional parenting-related attributes. Medium
SES families were overall described with positive attributes. Furthermore,
these social images were organized in different profiles. Implications for
family intervention and reintegration are discussed
