Nos últimos anos, tem-se observado um crescente interesse no papel que os avós desempenham em contexto familiar, especialmente graças a mudanças sociais e demográficas. A pertinência do presente estudo justifica-se pelo facto de existir pouco enfoque no ponto de vista dos pais sobre a relação entre os avós e os netos – estes desempenham um papel de, simultaneamente, mediadores e potenciadores desta mesma relação. O principal objectivo deste estudo é analisar e caracterizar as crenças parentais relativamente à relevância da relação avós-netos. Os participantes foram 309 sujeitos com idades compreendidas entre os 24 e os 62 anos. O protocolo de investigação foi constituído por um questionário sócio-demográfico e uma escala de crenças sobre a relação avós-netos, ambos desenvolvidos para o efeito. Conclui-se, através dos testes KMO e Bartlett que a escala possui um valor bom a nível da sua validade, e que as crenças dos participantes se relacionam maioritariamente com o papel dos avós.
In recent years there has been a growing interest in the role that grandparents play in the family context, especially thanks to social and demographic changes. The relevance of the present study is justified by the fact that there is little focus on the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren - they play a role as both mediators and enablers of the same relationship. The main objective of this study is to analyze and characterize parental beliefs regarding the relevance of the grandparent-grandchild relationship. The participants were 309 subjects between the ages of 24 and 62 years. The research protocol consisted of a socio-demographic questionnaire and a belief scale on the grandparent-grandchild relationship, both developed for this purpose. It is concluded from the KMO and Barlett tests that the scale has a good value in terms of its validity, and that the participants' beliefs are related mainly to the role of the grandparents.
