Abstract(s)
A adultez emergente é um estádio de desenvolvimento entre a adolescência e a idade adulta,
repleto de diversas transições que, quando bem conseguidas, são cruciais para o bem-estar e
satisfação com a vida. Durante a pandemia da COVID-19, estas transições sofreram
disrupções, o que afetou a satisfação com a vida desta população. Perceber o impacto desta
pandemia na satisfação com a vida dos jovens adultos, surge assim como essencial, ao
mesmo tempo que importa compreender como variáveis individuais (como a resiliência, o
medo da doença e a consideração de consequências futuras) e relacionais (satisfação na
relação com os pais e na relação amorosa), se podem relacionar com a satisfação com a vida.
Para este efeito, foram recolhidos dados de uma amostra de 217 jovens adultos, residentes
em Portugal, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 30 anos (M=24,4, DP=3,06). Estes
participantes preencheram diversos questionários de autorrelato com o objetivo de medir
cada uma das variáveis acima descritas, nomeadamente, a Escala de Satisfação com a Vida,
a Escala de Consideração de Consequências Futuras, a Escala do Medo da COVID, a
Escala Breve da Resiliência, a Escala de Avaliação das Relações Românticas e, ainda, dois
itens referentes à satisfação com a relação com a mãe e com o pai. Foram conduzidas análises
de correlação, de regressão e de comparação de médias. Os resultados revelaram que apenas
a satisfação com a relação com o pai prediz a satisfação com a vida dos jovens adultos.
Adicionalmente, verificou-se que níveis mais elevados de resiliência, de consideração de
consequências futuras e da satisfação da relação com a mãe e com o pai, apresentam relação
com níveis mais elevados de satisfação com a vida desta faixa etária. Em jeito de conclusão,
promover as relações familiares, o reforço da resiliência e o conhecimento e comunicação
sobre a pandemia, parecem ser de grande importância para a satisfação com a vida dos jovens
adultos.
Emerging adulthood is a developmental stage between the adolescence and the adulthood, full of various transitions that, when successfully accomplished, are crucial for one’s wellbeing and satisfaction with life. During the COVID-19 pandemic, these transitions suffered disruptions, which affected the level of life satisfaction of this population. Understanding the impact of this pandemic on the life satisfaction of young adults is thus of great importance, allowing, at the same time, for the understanding of how individual variables (such as resilience, fear of the disease and consideration of future consequences), and relational variables (such as satisfaction in the relationship with parents and with a partner) can be related to the satisfaction with life. For this purpose, data were collected from a sample of 217 young adults, residing in Portugal, with ages between 18 and 30 years old (M=24.4, SD=3.06). These participants completed several self-report questionnaires to measure each of the variables described above, namely, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Consideration of Future Consequences Scale, the Fear of COVID, a Brief Resilience Scale, a Relationship Assessment Scale and, finally, two items related to the satisfaction in the relationship with the mother and father. Correlation, regression, and mean comparison analyses were conducted. The results revealed that only satisfaction with the relationship with the father predicts the satisfaction with life of young adults. Also, it was noted that high levels of resilience, consideration of future consequences, and level of satisfaction with the relationship with the mother and father, show a connection with high levels of life satisfaction in this age group. Concluding, promoting a strong family relationship, the reinforcement of resilience and the knowledge and clear communication on the pandemic, may have significant impact on the life satisfaction of young adults.
