Resumo(s)
Little evidence exists on the relationship between rights’ perceptions and well-being
outcomes during the adolescence, and particularly in care, as well as on the mediating
role of place attachment. Young people in residential care are psychologically and
socially vulnerable, showing greater difficulties than their peers do in the family.
Youth’s rights fulfilment in residential care may positively affect their psychological
functioning together with positive attachments to this place. A sample of 365 adolescents in residential care settings (M = 14.71, SD = 1.81) completed a set of self-reported
measures, specifically, the Rights perceptions scale, the Place attachment scale and
Scales of psychological well-being. Results revealed significant mediating effects of
place attachment (Global scale and subscales of Friends Bonding and Place Dependence) on the relationship between Participation and Protection rights in residential care
and Psychological well-being (Positive Relations with others, Personal Growth and
Self-Acceptance). The positive role of rights fulfilment in residential care, specifically
participation opportunities, as well as the role of youth’s attachment to the care setting
are discussed based on previous evidence and theoretical assumptions. A set of
practical implications is described.
