Resumo(s)
O presente trabalho investigou a associação entre o conflito interparental e o
envolvimento dos adolescentes no mesmo, analisando o papel mediador da
psicopatologia de pais e mães nesta relação, incluindo sintomas de ansiedade, depressão
e hostilidade. Foram ainda analisadas as diferenças entre rapazes e raparigas no
envolvimento no conflito interparental. No estudo participaram 264 famílias, casadas ou
em união de facto, constituídas por pai, mãe e filho adolescente (792 participantes). Foi
aplicado o Inventário de Sintomas Psicopatológicos aos pais, de forma a avaliar a
presença de sintomas de ansiedade, depressão e hostilidade. Para avaliar o conflito
conjugal, foi aplicada a O'Leary Porter Scale que diz respeito à percepção dos pais
relativamente à frequência com que o conflito conjugal ocorre na presença dos filhos.
Com vista à análise do envolvimento no conflito conjugal através das dimensões da
segurança emocional, os adolescentes responderam ao questionário Security in the
Interparental Subsystem Scales. Os resultados indicam uma relação indirecta entre o
conflito conjugal e o envolvimento dos filhos nesse mesmo conflito, mediada através da
ansiedade do pai. Os resultados indicaram também uma associação directa entre o
conflito e a psicopatologia parental, o que é consistente com a literatura existente;
efeitos directos entre a psicopatologia parental (ansiedade e depressão) e o
envolvimento no conflito; e ainda uma relação directa entre o conflito interparental e o
envolvimento dos filhos. Não foram encontradas diferenças no envolvimento no
conflito interparental para rapazes e raparigas.
The present study investigated the association between interparental conflict and the adolescent's involvement in it, analyzing the mediating role of the psychopathology of parents, including symptoms of anxiety, depression and hostility. The differences between boys and girls in the involvement in interparental conflict were also analyzed. The study involved 264 families, married or in non-marital partnership, made up of father, mother and adolescent son (792 participants). The Inventory of Psychopathological Symptoms was applied to the parents, in order to evaluate the presence of symptoms of anxiety, depression and hostility. To evaluate marital conflict, it was applied to O'Leary Porter Scale regarding parents' perception of the frequency with which marital conflict occurs in the presence of the children. In order to analyze the involvement in the conjugal conflict through the dimensions of emotional security, adolescents answered the questionnaire Security in the Interparental Subsystem Scales. The results indicate an indirect relation between the conjugal conflict and the adolescent's involvement, mediated through the anxiety of the father. The results also indicated a direct association between conflict and parental psychopathology, which is consistent with the existing literature; direct effects between parental psychopathology (anxiety and depression) and involvement in conflict; and a direct relationship between interparental conflict and the involvement of children. No differences were found in involvement in interparental conflict for boys and girls.
