Abstract(s)
Com o rápido e constante desenvolvimento das tecnologias digitais, atualmente
nos deparamos com crianças que crescem com a tecnologia, os chamados “nativos
digitais”, no qual se desenvolvem em um mundo imerso de dispositivos digitais
conectados à Internet. Assim, os pais sentem-se cada vez mais desafiados em sua
competência, autoridade e papel frente à mediação parental do uso da internet por crianças
pequenas. Neste sentido, com base nos estudos dos estilos parentais e os estilos parentais
da supervisão do uso de Internet por crianças, a presente investigação teve como objetivo
central a validação transcultural da escala Internet Parenting Style Instrument (IPSI) para
população portuguesa e brasileira. Posteriormente, com o objetivo de observar a
correlação entre estes dois estilos, utilizamos o Questionário de Estilos e Dimensões
Parentais (QEDP), visando perceber a relação e as características da supervisão realizada
pelos pais com filhos de 2 a 12 anos, e as possíveis diferenças entre as referidas
populações.
Procedeu-se à realização da análise fatorial confirmatória, que de acordo com os
valores obtidos, χ2/df = 4.957; CFI = .890; TLI = .874; RMSEA = .088, o modelo
apresenta um ajustamento fraco, mas aceitável, para ambas as populações. Os resultados
apontaram para uma variância do modelo, testada através de uma análise multigrupos,
indicando uma diferença estatisticamente significativa ( χ2 R- χ2 U = 1725,756 (524) –
1771,843 (544) = 46,087 (p = .001). Este dado é verificado também noutros estudos, no qual
observa-se que as práticas de mediação parental do uso de Internet baseiam-se de acordo
com as normas culturais, o contexto socioeconómico e educacional no qual os pais estão
inseridos. Desta forma, a Escala de Estilos Parentais de Supervisão do uso da Internet
(EEPSI), vem a contribuir para a avaliação da supervisão realizada pelos pais,
possibilitando assim, a construção de modelos educacionais de acompanhamento e apoio
aos pais diante dos desafios da mediação e supervisão referente aos medias.
With the fast and constant development of digital technologies, we currently face a generation of children growing up with technology, immersed in a world of digital gadgets connected to the Internet, the so-called “digital natives”. In this context, parents feel increasingly challenged in their competencies regarding the parental mediation of the use of Internet by small children. Following this, based on the studies of parental styles and parental styles in the supervision of children’s use of Internet, the current investigation aims to build a transcultural validation of the “Internet Parenting Style Instrument (IPSI) for the Portuguese and Brazilian populations. Furthermore, aiming to observe the correlation between these styles, we have used the Questionnaire of Parental Styles and Dimensions (QEDP), in order to understand the dependencies and characteristics of supervision by parents with children from 2 to 12 years old, and the possible differences between the two aforementioned. From the Factorial Analytic Confirmation performed, according to the values obtained, χ2/df = 4.957; CFI = .890; TLI = .874; RMSEA = .088, the model shows a weak adjustment, but acceptable, to both populations. The results pointed to a variance of the model, tested through a multigroups analysis, indicating a difference statistically significant ( χ2 R- χ2 U = 1725,756 (524) – 1771,843 (544) = 46,087 (p = .001). Such information is also found in other studies, in which it is observed that practices of parental mediation of the use of Internet are based on cultural norms, socio-economic and educational context of the parents. Therefore, the Scale of Parental Styles of Supervision of the use of Internet (EEPSI), contributes to the evaluation of the supervision by parents, enabling the construction of educational models for supporting parents in the face of the challenges in supervising the media use.
