- The right to a second chance: lessons learned from the experience of early school leavers who returned to educationPublication . Martins, Filipe; Carneiro, Alexandra; Campos, Luísa; Ribeiro, Luisa Mota; Negrão, Mariana; Baptista, Isabel; Matos, RaquelBased on a holistic perspective of education that articulates school pedagogy and social pedagogy, the main goal of this paper is to identify effective ways to ensure the right to education to vulnerable and marginalised young people who have dropped out of school. The research leading to this paper was part of a European research project which investigated how young people’s responses to conflict can provide opportunities for positive social engagement. This specific study explored early school leaving and school re-engage-ment from the point of view of a group of 20 Portuguese young early school leavers who later returned to school through Second Chance Education. Through a qualitative approach using individual in-depth interviews, participant observation and focus group, the study sought to offer a comprehensive reading of early school leaving and school re-engagement by address-ing the diversity of motivations, experiences, factors and consequences associated with them, as well as the role that educational policies and school factors can play in it. The study’s findings revealed that, for many socially and economically vulnerable youngsters, mainstream schools are places of individual failure and interpersonal conflict where they don’t feel wel-comed and from which they stop expecting positive outcomes. This favours a progressive disengagement from education that reinforces social marginalisation. However, the findings also showed that by engaging in second chance education projects, youngsters develop greater commitment to education and identify relevant positive changes in terms of personal and skills’ development, behavioural adjustment and establishment of life goals. According to the participants’ experiences, the holistic and individualised socio-pedagogical approach of such projects is particularly apt to respond to their needs. Community-based educational approaches, practical and participatory learning environments, and the emotional investment and support from teachers and staff are shown to be the most effective socio-educational features when trying to re-engage vulnerable young people in education.

- Predicting harsh discipline in at-risk mothers: the moderating effect of socioeconomic deprivation severityPublication . Pereira, Mariana; Negrão, Mariana; Soares, Isabel; Mesman, JudiSocioeconomic disadvantage is an important predictor of maternal harsh discipline, but few studies have examined risk mechanisms for harsh parenting within disadvantaged samples. In the present study, parenting stress, family conflict, and child difficult temperament are examined as predictors of maternal harsh discipline among a group of 58 mothers from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds and their young children between the ages of 1- to 4-years-old. Maternal harsh discipline was measured using standardized observations, and mothers reported on parenting stress, family conflict, and child temperament. Severity of socioeconomic deprivation was included as a moderator in these associations. Results showed that parenting stress and family conflict predicted maternal harsh discipline, but only in the most severely deprived families. These findings extend prior research on the processes through which socioeconomic deprivation severity and family functioning impact maternal harsh discipline within a high-risk sample of low-income families. They suggest that the spillover of negative parental functioning into parent–child interactions is particularly likely under conditions of substantial socioeconomic deprivation. Severity of socioeconomic stress seems to undermine maternal adaptive forms of coping, resulting in harsh disciplining practices. Intervention efforts aimed at improving parenting and family relations, as well as an adaptive coping style assume especial relevance.

- Gravidez e depressão pós-parto: programa de intervenção cognitiva-narrativa e de intervenção de casal baseada na vinculaçãoPublication . Lima, Vânia Sousa; Dias, Pedro; Xavier, Maria Raúl Lobo; Veiga, Elisa; Negrão, Mariana; Campos, LuísaO objectivo central deste projecto é o de avaliar o contributo de um programa de intervenção psicoterapêutica centrado na interacção de casal em associação com uma intervenção de orientação cognitivo-narrativa, na prevenção da depressão gestacional e pós-parto. O plano de investigação propõe duas modalidades de intervenção a desenvolver junto de uma população de grávidas e respectivos companheiros, a partir do 2º trimestre de gravidez. A modalidade individual (Cognitivo-Narrativa) contemplará 4 encontros e a modalidade de casal (baseada na Teoria da Vinculação) contemplará 3 encontros. O estudo envolverá 90 casais gestantes, alocados aleatoriamente em dois grupos de intervenção e no grupo de controlo, agrupando-se 30 casais em cada. Entre a 20ª e a 22ª semanas de gestação, administrar-se-ão instrumentos de avaliação de sintomatologia psicopatológica geral e depressiva, organização da vinculação, representação da relação íntima, percepção de ajustamento diádico, vivência psicológica da gravidez, satisfação com o suporte social. Entre a 20ª e a 30ª semanas de gravidez decorrerá a intervenção psicoterapêutica para os grupos experimentais. À 32ª semana, serão reavaliadas as dimensões de sintomatologia psicopatológica geral e depressiva, percepção de ajustamento diádicoe vivência psicológica da gravidez. No período pós-natal (45 dias)serão avaliadas variáveis relacionadas com medidas neonatais, (4ª-6ª semana) sintomatologia psicopatológica geral e sintomas de depressão pós-parto, percepção de ajustamento diádico, e percepção de satisfação com o suporte social. Prevê-se que a segurança da vinculação, a qualidade da representação da relação íntima e menores índices de psicopatologia geral e, especificamente, de depressão por parte dos progenitores na baseline, estejam associados melhores indicadores ao nível da adaptação do casal na baseline, à 32ª semana de gravidez e 45 dias após o parto. Na baseline, antecipa-se a associação entre atitudes por parte dos progenitores face à gravidez e à maternidade/paternidade, satisfação com suporte social e menor sintomatologia psicopatológica geral e depressiva.
- Maternal attachment representation in relation to emotional availability and discipline behaviorPublication . Negrão, Mariana; Pereira, Mariana; Soares, Isabel; Mesman, JudiMaternal attachment representations have been investigated in relation to sensitivity and emotional support, but rarely in relation to other important areas of daily parent–child interactions in early childhood, like limit setting and discipline strategies. This study investigates maternal attachment representations in relation to parenting sensitive and discipline behaviours. The sample consists of 37 Portuguese high-risk severely economically disadvantaged mothers and their 1- to 4-year-old children, that responded to the Adult Attachment Interview, and were observed in play and discipline interaction contexts. The results showed that a more preoccupied state of mind was related to less emotional availability in free play interaction with child. A more secure attachment representation was related to more psychologically controlling discipline tactics. These findings highlight the relevance of maternal attachment states of mind in understanding parenting practices in several domains, and are discussed in light of sociocultural factors
- Estratégias de disciplina materna em grupos de risco e não riscoPublication . Coelho, Maria João; Negrão, Mariana; Veiga, Elisa; Dias, PedroTh e present study aimed to characterize and compare two groups of mothers, the psychosocial risk group and the non-risk group, with respect to discipline strategies. Mothers who participated in the study had children between 12 and 48 months. It was used an observational methodology that consisted in fi lming the interaction of mothers with their children in two diff erent tasks “clean up” and “don’t touch”. Th ese tasks have been coded according to the Scales of Van der Mark, Van IJzendoorn and Bakermans-Kranenburg to positive and coercive discipline strategies (2002). Th e main results of this study point out a pattern: mothers of psychosocial risk group use more oft en coercive discipline strategies, while the group of mothers at non-risk condition use more frequently positive discipline strategies.
