Abstract(s)
Ao longo do tempo, a família tem-se mostrado como um agente de socialização fundamental no que concerne à formação dos seus elementos em termos de valores e normas que, por sua vez, se apresentam como base para a formação cívica. Atualmente, verifica-se uma transformação significativa na forma como mulheres e homens recebem a educação por parte da família, tendo, desta forma, impacto num maior equilíbrio de participação entre as mulheres e os homens na vida política e nos cargos que implicam participação nas tomadas de decisão. Esta mudança vai ao encontro da procura por uma maior competência democrática a partir de uma representação social mais fiel. Desta forma, e porque é necessário saber mais acerca destas mudanças, o presente estudo explora aspetos psicossociais relacionados com a família, de mulheres com participação cívica e/ou política. O estudo assenta nas narrativas de dezanove mulheres, recolhidas a partir de entrevistas realizadas no âmbito do projeto Participo!, que visa promover o aumento das taxas de participação política e cívica de mulheres de uma região delimitada da cidade do Porto. Através de procedimentos de análise qualitativa, descrevemos seis dimensões: dimensão socioeconómica; o funcionamento familiar; interações entre membros da família; ideologias políticas familiares; valores sociais da família; e papéis de género na família. De forma global, foi possível compreender que parece existir uma ligação entre as experiências e exemplos de participação cívica e/ou política no âmbito familiar e a participação cívica e/ou política das participantes.
Over time, family has proven to be a crucial agent of socialization regarding the formation of their members in terms of values and norms, which are the basis for civic education. Today there is a significant change in the way women and men are educated by the family, impacting the balance of participation between women and men in political life and in decision-making positions. This change is in accordance with the search for greater democratic competence based on a more accurate social representation. Thus, and because it is necessary to know more about these changes, this study explores psychosocial aspects related to the family of women with civic and/or political participation. It draws from the narratives of nineteen women who were interviewed in the scope of the project Participo! that aims to promote the increase of women’s political and civic participation rates in a given area of the city of Porto. Through qualitative analysis, we described six dimensions: socioeconomic dimension; family functioning; interactions among family members; family political ideologies; family social values; and gender roles in the family. Overall, it was possible to understand that there seems to be a connection between the experiences and examples of civic and/or political participation in the family sphere and the participants' civic and/or political participation.
