Abstract(s)
O divórcio é um período de transição que afeta o ciclo de desenvolvimento da família, alterando a sua configuração e dinâmica familiar e, consequentemente, diminuir o bem-estar familiar e individual. Neste sentido, este estudo procura contribuir para avaliação da perceção que progenitores divorciados/separados têm quanto aos estilos educativos parentais. A amostra de conveniência, foi composta por 17 figuras parentais, 11 mães e 6 pais, de crianças em idade escolar (8-11 anos) que vivenciaram uma experiência de divórcio/separação. Os dados dos participantes foram recolhidos numa plataforma online, através do preenchimento da adaptação portuguesa do EMBU-P e de Questionários que recolheram informações relativas às caraterísticas sociodemográficas dos filhos e dos progenitores, caraterísticas da relação anterior e informações quanto à influência da situação pandémica Covid-19 na dinâmica familiar. Os resultados da estatística descritiva do EMBU-P indicam que os participantes revelam níveis elevados de suporte emocional, o que demonstra que estes progenitores tendem a percecionar a parentalidade com altos níveis de envolvimento e participação na vida dos filhos. Não se verificam associações estatisticamente significativas entre as pontuações das dimensões do EMBU-P e as caraterísticas sociodemográficas dos progenitores. No entanto, observou-se uma correlação estiticamente significativa entre sexo da criança e a dimensão rejeição do EMBU-P. Este estudo contribuiu para o realce de algumas caraterísticas sociodemográficas que podem influenciar os estilos educativos parentais, nomeadamente a idade dos filhos e o sexo dos progenitores. Desta forma, os resultados deste estudo corroboram com a literatura no que toca a algumas variáveis, porém, a literatura refere o impacto de outras variáveis analisadas neste estudo, nas quais os resultados não se demonstram concordantes, o que sugere a importância da continuação da investigação neste tópico.
Divorce is a transitional period that affects the family development cycle, changing its configuration and family dynamics, as well as it may increase stress and, consequently, reduce the family and individual well-being. Therefore, this study aims to contribute to assess the perception that divorced/separated parents have about parenting styles. The convenience sample was composed of 17 parents, 11 mothers and 6 fathers of school-age children (8-11 years) who had gone through a divorce/separation experience. Participants' data were collected in an online platform by completing the Portuguese adaptation of the EMBU-P and Questionnaires that collected information regarding the socio-demographic characteristics of children and parents, characteristics of the previous relationship and information on the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic situation on family dynamics. The results of the descriptive statistics of the EMBU-P indicated that participants showed high levels of emotional support, which shows that these parents tend to perceive parenthood with high levels of involvement and participation in their children's lives. No statistically significant associations were found between the scores on the dimensions of the EMBU-P and the parents' sociodemographic characteristics. However, a statistically significant correlation was found between the child's gender and the rejection dimension of the EMBU-P. This study contributed to highlighting some sociodemographic characteristics that may influence parenting styles, namely the children's age and the parents' gender. Thus, the results of this study corroborate the literature regarding some variables; however, the literature mentions the impact of other variables analysed in this study, in which the results were not in agreement, which suggests the importance of further research on this topic.
