Abstract(s)
Tem-se vindo a revelar uma grande necessidade na avaliação dos pontos fortes dos jovens em
acolhimento institucional e das suas competências, relacionadas com a transição para a idade adulta (Casey
et al., 2010). Esta realidade veio suscitar o interesse no desenvolvimento da presente investigação. Enquanto
abordagem preliminar no estudo das características desta população, foi realizada a tradução da escala
Casey Life Skills e realizadas as primeiras análises de validação e descrição. Após apresentação de uma
abordagem teórica sobre as temáticas subjacentes e a realidade que se faz presente, no que concerne às
Competências de Relacionamento e Comunicação e à Projeção do Futuro, os resultados obtidos são
indicadores de que não existem diferenças estatisticamente significas nestas subescalas em relação às
variáveis género, idade e duração do acolhimento. Ainda assim, estas subescalas apresentam valores
significativos em termos do alfa de Cronbach, revelando uma boa consistência interna.
