O presente estudo, integrado no projeto Economic hardship, parenting role and child behavior problems do Centro de Investigação para o Desenvolvimento Humano, tem como objetivo analisar o papel dos sintomas psicológicos na relação entre experiências de dificuldade económica de mães e pais e problemas de comportamento externalizantes em crianças e jovens dos 10 aos 18 anos. Foi administrado um questionário online, que incluiu o Financial Anxiety Scale, o Brief Symptom Inventory e o Children Behaviour Checklist, para a recolha de dados quantitativos junto de 335 progenitores de diferentes zonas do país. No tratamento de dados utilizou-se o software IBM SPSS Statistics-27. Foram testadas as relações entre medidas objetivas e subjetivas de dificuldade económica, escalas de ansiedade e depressão, e uma medida de externalização. Os resultados permitiram verificar correlações positivas e significativas entre uma medida subjetiva de dificuldade económica, os sintomas psicológicos e a externalização. A partir de modelos de mediação simples e paralela, observou-se um efeito de mediação total da depressão na relação entre a preocupação dos progenitores com a situação financeira e a externalização em crianças e jovens.
The present study is part of a larger project entitled Economic hardship, parenting role and child behavior problems held at the Research Centre for Human Development. The aim of the study is to analyse the role of psychological symptoms in the relation between parents’ economic hardship and externalizing behavior problems in children aged 10 to 18 years. An online questionnaire including the Financial Anxiety Scale, the Brief Symptom Inventory and the Children Behaviour Checklist was administered to 335 parents from different regions in Portugal. Data analysis was conducted using the IBM SPSS Statistics-27 software package. Associations were tested between objective and subjective economic hardship measures, anxiety and depression scales, and an externalization measure. Results showed significant positive correlations between subjective economic hardship, psychological symptoms, and externalization. By resorting to both simple and parallel mediation models, a complete mediation effect was observed through depression in the relation between parents’ economic hardship and children externalizing behaviors.
