Resumo(s)
This study explored the associations between the perceptions that youth in residential care have about their
social images (i.e., their perceptions of how other people in general perceive them) and their self-representations,
and the moderating role of social support from residential caregivers and friends in those associations. A sample
of 926 youths in residential care, aged between 12 and 25 years old, filled out self-report questionnaires tapping
their perceptions of their social images, self-representations, and perceived social support. Results indicated that
positive youths’ perceptions of their social images were associated to youth’s positive self-representations, and
that negative youths’ perceptions of their social images dimensions were associated to youth’s negative selfrepresentation dimensions. Results also indicated that support from the main residential caregiver and friends
moderated associations between youth’s perceptions of their social images and self-representations, functioning
as a protective factor. These findings underline the importance of youth’s perceptions of their social images and
the support from residential caregivers and friends for youth in residential care.
