Abstract(s)
O presente estudo tem como objetivos contribuir para a difusão da perspetiva inovadora
designada Desenvolvimento Positivo na Adolescência (DPA), em território nacional,
bem como explorar a relação entre o DPA e a variável relacionada, Bem-Estar Subjetivo
(BES). A abordagem do DPA tem vindo a popularizar-se e a conquistar cada vez mais o
interesse de investigadores e profissionais que trabalham com adolescentes. Trata-se de
uma abordagem promocional, alternativa aos modelos tradicionais da adolescência que
dirigiram o seu foco para as trajetórias problemáticas e de risco durante grande parte do
século XX.
Para dar cumprimento aos objetivos deste trabalho foram utilizados os seguintes
instrumentos: questionário do Desenvolvimento Positivo na Adolescência, versão
reduzida (Richard Lerner, von Eye, Jaqueline Lerner, Lewin-Bizan, & Bowers, 2010),
questionário Índice de Bem-Estar Pessoal, versão escolar (IBEP) (Cummins & Lau,
2005) e um questionário sociodemográfico. Participaram neste estudo 385 alunos com
média de idades de 13.37 anos (DP=0.957), 48.3% do sexo masculino e 51.7% do sexo
feminino. Os resultados quantitativos mostraram os 5 C’s, dimensões integradoras do
DPA, se relacionam com os domínios do IBEP que avaliam o BES. Destacam-se as
correlações mais elevadas que se verificaram entre o C Conexão e o grau de satisfação
com o domínio, Vida Geral, e com os domínios particulares da vida, Realização na
Vida, Relacionamentos Pessoais e Segurança Pessoal Sentida do questionário IBEP. De
realçar também que os resultados desta investigação sugerem bons níveis de DPA e de
BES na adolescência. No que diz respeito às diferenças de género, as raparigas
apresentaram melhores níveis de DPA e os rapazes melhores níveis de BES.
Deste modo, pretendeu-se contribuir para uma melhor compreensão da etapa da
adolescência através da exploração de um vocabulário alternativo e clarificador capaz
de lhe conferir novos significados.
This study aims to contribute to the spread of the innovative perspective, Positive Youth Development (PYD), in Portugal, as well as exploring the relation between the PYD and the related variable, Subjective Wellbeing (SWB). The PYD approach has been popularized and wins (captures) more and more the interest of researchers and professionals working with adolescents. This is a promotional approach, alternative to traditional models of adolescence that directed their focus on risk and problematic trajectories through much of the 20th century. To accomplish the goals of this work were used the following instruments: Positive Youth Development questionnaire, short measure (Richard Lerner, von Eye, Jaqueline Lerner, Lewin-Bizan, & Bowers, 2010), The Personal Wellbeing Índex - School Children (PWI-SC) (Cummins & Lau, 2005) and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The sample consisted of 385 students with an average of 13.37 years (SD=0.957), 48.3% male and 51.7% female. Quantitative results show that 5 C’s, integrative PYD dimensions, relates to PWI – SC domains measure of SWB. The higher correlations were found between the C Connection and the level of satisfaction with the Global Life domain and with particular domains of life Achieving in Life, Relationships and Safety, of PWI - SC questionnaire. Also to be noticed that the results of this study suggest good levels of PYD and SWB on adolescence. With regard to gender differences, girls had higher levels of PYD and boys had higher levels of SWB. Thus, the aim was to contribute to a better understanding of the adolescence period by exploiting an alternative and clarifying vocabulary, able to give it new meanings.
