Resumo(s)
O objetivo deste estudo é explorar a relação entre a ansiedade financeira e características sociodemográficas, numa amostra de mães, e explorar as perceções de mães relativamente ao impacto da ansiedade financeira na dinâmica familiar e no comportamento dos filhos. Para atingir esse objetivo, foi utilizada uma metodologia mista, combinando uma abordagem quantitativa (Fase 1) e qualitativa (Fase 2). Na primeira fase deste estudo foi realizada uma analisa estatística das respostas a um questionário sociodemográfico e à Escala de Ansiedade Financeira (FAS) de 561 mães com filhos entre os 10 e os 18 anos com o objetivo de explorar relação entre os níveis de ansiedade financeira e as variáveis sociodemográficas. Na segunda fase do estudo, foram realizadas entrevistas a duas mães que apresentaram níveis mais elevados na Escala de Ansiedade Financeira com o objetivo de obter uma compreensão mais aprofundada das suas experiências subjetivas. Os resultados obtidos indicam que, independentemente do rendimento familiar, as mães podem experimentar ansiedade financeira. Essa ansiedade pode afetar a parentalidade e os estilos de comunicação com os filhos, com impactos emocionais mais evidentes. No entanto, não se pode atribuir o impacto exclusivamente à ansiedade financeira, uma vez que as dificuldades económicas objetivas também estão presentes. Neste estudo, foi possível perceber que esses fatores estão interligados de forma complexa, embora não tenha sido possível compreender totalmente a complexidade dessa interligação. Por fim, com um caráter que se assume como exploratório, este estudo oferece pistas relevantes para o desenvolvimento de estudos futuros, que aprofundem a compreensão da articulação entre as componentes objetiva e subjetiva da situação financeira, e o impacto destas nas dinâmicas familiares e no comportamento de crianças e jovens.
The objective of this study is to explore the relation between financial anxiety and sociodemographic characteristics in a sample of mothers and to examine mothers' perceptions regarding the impact of financial anxiety on family dynamics and children's behavior. To achieve this aim, a mixed methodology was used, combining a quantitative approach (Phase 1) and a qualitative approach (Phase 2). In the first phase of this study, a statistical analysis was conducted on the responses to a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Financial Anxiety Scale (FAS) of 561 mothers with children aged between 10 and 18, with the aim of exploring the relationship between levels of financial anxiety and sociodemographic variables. In the second phase of the study, interviews were conducted with two mothers who exhibited higher levels on the Financial Anxiety Scale in order to gain a deeper understanding of their subjective experiences. The results obtained indicate that mothers can experience financial anxiety regardless of family income. This anxiety can affect parenting and communication styles with children, with more evident emotional impacts. However, the exclusive impact cannot be attributed solely to financial anxiety, as objective economic difficulties are also present. In this study, it was possible to perceive that these factors are interconnected in a complex way, although it was not possible to fully comprehend the complexity of this interconnection. Finally, with an exploratory nature, this study offers relevant insights for the development of future studies focused on understanding the interplay between the objective and subjective components of the financial situation, and the impact of these on family dynamics and the behavior of children and youth.
