Abstract(s)
A literatura tem reconhecido a importância de aprofundar conhecimento sobre o
desenvolvimento comunicativo e linguístico na primeira e segunda infância. Dada a
centralidade do contexto familiar, são ainda necessários estudos que analisem se a
expressividade emocional familiar poderá ter impacto nesse processo. O principal objetivo
deste estudo consiste em investigar o potencial papel explicativo da expressividade emocional
familiar no desenvolvimento comunicativo e linguístico de crianças entre os dois anos e seis
meses e os quatro anos, controlando o efeito das variáveis sexo e idade. Participaram 68 pais e
mães (Midade mães = 35.15, DP = 4.02; Midade pais = 34.31, DP = 5.55), que responderam a um
Questionário Sociodemográfico, ao Inventário do Desenvolvimento de Habilidades
Comunicativas MacArthurBates e ao Questionário de Autoexpressividade Familiar. Foram
efetuadas análises descritivas, correlacionais e de regressão linear hierárquica múltipla.
Encontraramse correlações positivas entre a expressividade emocional positiva e o
desempenho das crianças no vocabulário e na sintaxe. Verificouse que a idade e a
expressividade emocional familiar positiva constituem variáveis explicativas estatisticamente
significativas do desenvolvimento comunicativo das crianças, associandose positivamente ao
vocabulário, mas negativamente à sintaxe. Estudos futuros poderão adotar um desenho
longitudinal para identificar variações na expressividade emocional das famílias ao longo do
tempo e o seu impacto no desenvolvimento comunicativo e linguístico das crianças. A prática
psicológica poderá incidir na deteção de crianças que apresentem dificuldades no
desenvolvimento comunicativo e linguístico e na promoção de competências parentais
positivas, refletindo acerca de que forma a expressividade emocional familiar pode ter
impacto no desenvolvimento dos/as filhos/as.
The literature has recognized the importance of deepening knowledge about communicative and linguistic development in early childhood. Given the centrality of the family context, studies are still needed to analyze whether family emotional expressiveness may have an impact on this process. The main objective of this study is to investigate the potentially explanatory role of family emotional expressiveness in the communicative and linguistic development of children aged between two years and six months and four years, controlling for the effect of sex and age. Sixtyeight fathers and mothers (Mage mothers = 35.15, SD = 4.02; Mage fathers = 34.31, SD = 5.55), answered a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the MacArthurBates Communicative Skills Development Inventory, and the Family SelfExpression Questionnaire Descriptive, correlational, and multiple hierarchical linear regression analyzes were performed. Positive correlations were found between positive emotional expressiveness and children's performance in vocabulary and syntax. It was found that age and positive family emotional expressiveness constitute statistically significant explanatory variables of children's communicative development, positively associated with vocabulary, but negatively associated with syntax. Future studies may adopt a longitudinal design to identify variations in families' emotional expressiveness over time and their impact on children's communicative and linguistic development. Psychological practice may focus on the detection of children who present difficulties in communicative and linguistic development and on the promotion of positive parenting skills, reflecting on how family emotional expressiveness can have an impact on the development of children.
