Abstract(s)
A relação entre a conjugalidade, o bem-estar e a experiência familiar está claramente
definida na literatura científica, onde é também considerada a influência da religião sobre
cada uma destas. A presente dissertação pretendeu explorar diferenças dos participantes
de grupos católicos em casal nestes três domínios, nomeadamente nas dimensões bemestar individual, satisfação conjugal, generatividade conjugal e perceção da experiência
familiar. Para o efeito, foram comparados três grupos de indivíduos, agrupados conforme
as crenças e práticas religiosas. A realização de atividades em casal, dentro ou fora do
âmbito religioso, foi também considerada numa análise de comparação entre grupos
posterior. Com vista a ser respondidos os objetivos propostos, o estudo seguiu uma
metodologia não-experimental, transversal, entre sujeitos, segundo uma abordagem
mista. Os dados foram recolhidos em momentos distintos, iniciando-se com a recolha dos
dados quantitativos, por meio da aplicação de um protocolo de investigação de
autorresposta, considerando-se uma amostra de 379 indivíduos. A recolha de dados
qualitativos foi realizada através de uma entrevista individual semiestruturada,
apresentando uma amostra de 10 participantes. Os resultados revelam uma relação entre
a participação conjugal num grupo católico as variáveis em estudo, sobressaindo-se a
relação com a satisfação e generatividade conjugal. Estes indivíduos apresentam valores
superiores de satisfação conjugal, que parecem ser resultantes de diferentes processos,
tais como o cuidado matrimonial e intimidade que demonstram e a perceção de
semelhanças com outros casais. A generatividade, fortemente presente nestes indivíduos,
revela-se, por exemplo, na forma como se envolvem noutras atividades e pretendem dar
e receber exemplo dos outros casais. Foram também reunidas as principais sugestões dos
participantes para valores superiores de bem-estar individual e de uma perceção da
experiência familiar de maior proximidade, tratando-se das dimensões em estudo com
resultados inferiores. Por fim, consideraram-se as implicações práticas dos resultados
obtidos, as limitações do estudo e sugestões para futuras pesquisas.
The relationship between conjugality, well-being and family experience is clearly defined in the scientific literature, where the influence of religion on each of these is also considered. The thesis presented aimed at exploring differences of participants in Catholic couple groups in these three domains, particularly, in the dimensions of individual wellbeing, marital satisfaction, marital generativity and perceived family experience. For this purpose, three groups of individuals, grouped according to religious beliefs and practices, were compared. The participation in activities as a couple, within or outside the religious environment, was also considered in a subsequent comparison analysis between groups. In order to meet the proposed objectives, the study followed a non-experimental, crosssectional, between-subjects methodology, according to a mixed approach. Data was collected at different moments, starting with the collection of quantitative data, through the application of a self-report research protocol, considering a sample of 379 individuals. Qualitative data collection was performed through an individual semi-structured interview, featuring a sample of 10 participants. The results revealed a relationship between the marital participation in a Catholic group and the variables under study, highlighting the relation with marital satisfaction and generativity. These individuals show higher values of marital satisfaction, which seem to result from different processes, such as the marital care, the intimacy they show and the perception of similarities with other couples. Generativity, strongly present in these individuals, is revealed, for example, in the way they get involved in other activities and wish to give and receive example from other couples. We also gathered the participants' main suggestions for higher values of individual well-being and a perceived family experience of greater closeness, which were the dimensions under study with lower results. Finally, the practical implications of the results obtained, the limitations of the study and suggestions for future research were considered.
