Resumo(s)
Sendo a adolescência uma fase caracterizada por inúmeras mudanças, o coping torna-se fundamental para enfrentar as situações difíceis e transições a que os adolescentes estão sujeitos, que, por sua vez, tem impacto no seu ajustamento psicossocial. Neste sentido, nas últimas décadas, a literatura tem demonstrado um interesse acrescido pelo estudo do coping na adolescência. Apesar das evidências empíricas demonstrarem influência crucial dos pais no desenvolvimento do coping dos filhos pouco se sabe ainda sobre esta relação. Assim, considerando a escassa investigação, que demonstre a forma como o coping dos pais se relaciona com o coping dos filhos, o objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar a existência de efeitos diretos entre o coping dos pais e o coping dos filhos. Foram também analisadas as diferenças nas médias nas variáveis em estudo em função do sexo dos participantes. A amostra foi constituída por 255 famílias portuguesas, casadas ou em união de facto, com filhos de idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 21 anos. Foi aplicado um questionário de dados sociodemográficos, um questionário de coping para os progenitores, INCOPE-2R (Bodenmann, 2000; versão portuguesa de Pedro & Francisco, 2014) e um questionário de coping para os adolescentes, Coping & Resiliência (Youth Connectedness Project, 2006; versão portuguesa de Crespo & Francisco, 2011). Os resultados demonstraram a existência de efeitos diretos entre o coping dos progenitores e o coping dos filhos adolescentes. Mais concretamente, verificaram-se efeitos diretos entre o coping funcional e disfuncional do pai e as estratégias de procura de apoio social, de ruminação e de expressão hostil de sentimentos dos filhos, respetivamente; entre o coping disfuncional da mãe e as estratégias de evitamento e ruminação dos filhos; e entre o coping funcional da mãe e a estratégia de expressão hostil de sentimentos dos filhos. As implicações destes resultados são discutidas no presente trabalho, bem como as limitações e sugestões para estudos posteriores.
Considering that adolescence is a period characterized by many changes, coping becomes a fundamental process for facing the difficult situations and transitions experienced by adolescents, which in turn have an impact on their psychosocial adjustment. In this regard, during the last decades, literature has demonstrated an increasing interest on the study of adolescent coping. Although there has been empirical evidence showing that parents have a crucial influence on the development of their children’s coping, still little is known about this relationship. Considering the lack of studies in this field, the objective of this study was to investigate direct effects between parents’ coping and adolescents’ coping. The differences among the means of the variables in study were analyzed according to the sex of the participants. The sample was composed by 255 Portuguese families, married or in non-marital partnership, with children of age between 12 and 21 years old. Three separated questionnaires were applied: a sociodemographic questionnaire, the questionnaire INCOPE-2R (Bodenmann, 2000; versão portuguesa de Pedro & Francisco, 2014) that analyzes parents coping, and the questionnaire Coping & Resilience (Youth Connectedness Project, 2006; versão portuguesa de Crespo & Francisco, 2011) that analyzes adolescent coping. The results showed direct effects between parents’ and adolescent’ coping. More specifically, direct effects were found between fathers’ functional and dysfunctional coping and the adolescents’ strategies to search for social support, rumination and hostile expression of feelings; between mothers’ dysfunctional coping and adolescents’ strategies of evasion (avoidance) and rumination; and, between mothers’ functional coping and adolescents’ hostile expression of feelings. The implications of these results are discussed in the present study, as well as the limitations and suggestions for future studies.
