A perceção que cada indivíduo carrega da experiência familiar prévia se mostra relevante para a escolha, manutenção ou dissolução do relacionamento amoroso na idade adulta. O presente trabalho surgiu com o objetivo de explorar a relação entre a perceção pessoal dos pilares da família de origem e os relacionamentos amorosos, especificamente com a relação entre os fatores de proximidade e projeção na família de origem, o ajustamento diádico e satisfação na relação. Foram investigados dados recolhidos de uma amostra de 212 indivíduos adultos com experiência presente num relacionamento amoroso; explorando ainda a relação de variáveis sociodemográficas, pessoais e familiares, com a perceção dos pilares da família de origem, o ajustamento diádico e satisfação na relação. Os dados evidenciam que há uma associação positiva e estatisticamente significativa de todos os quatro pilares da família de origem - intimidade, continuidade, coesão e transcendência - com a satisfação e com o consenso, bem como que a perceção sobre a família de origem se correlaciona com a satisfação nos relacionamentos amorosos. Ademais, os resultados também evidenciaram uma relação do tipo de compromisso dos pais com a perceção dos pilares na família de origem, dando conta de dinâmicas relevantes na experiência familiar passada e presente.
The perception that each individual carries of their previous family experience proves relevant to the choice, maintenance, or dissolution of romantic relationships in adulthood. The present study aimed to explore the relationship between personal perception of the pillars of the family of origin and romantic relationships, specifically focusing on the relationship between the factors of closeness and projection in the family of origin, dyadic adjustment, and relationship satisfaction. Data collected from a sample of 212 adult individuals currently in a romantic relationship were investigated, further exploring the relationship of sociodemographic, personal, and familial variables with perception of the pillars of the family of origin, dyadic adjustment, and relationship satisfaction. The data show a positive and statistically significant association between all four pillars of the family of origin - intimacy, continuity, cohesion, and transcendence - with satisfaction and consensus, as well as the perception of the family of origin correlating with satisfaction in romantic relationships. Furthermore, the results also revealed a relationship between the type of commitment of the parents and the perception of the pillars, highlighting relevant dynamics in both past and present family experiences.
