Abstract(s)
A adolescência é um período de desenvolvimento bastante complexo e significativo na vida do
indivíduo sendo que ocorrem diversas mudanças a níveis biológicos, comportamentais,
psicológicos, entre outros, sendo que algumas destas dizem respeito à qualidade da amizade,
regulação emocional e autoestima. Diversos autores revelam que a amizade está bastante
relacionada com a regulação emocional e a autoestima. Ademais, estudos indicam que as jovens
do género feminino apresentam qualidades de amizade superiores, não existe consenso sobre
qual o género que apresenta melhor capacidade de regulação emocional e os rapazes apresentam
melhor autoestima.
O presente estudo, foca-se em compreender estas variáveis, como é que elas interagem uma
com as outras e averiguar se existem diferenças de género e de idade. Deste modo, foi aplicado
um inquérito a adolescentes dos 15 aos 19 anos onde foram aplicados o Friendship Quality
Questionnaire, o Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents e o Self Perception Profile for Adolescents.
Como resultados descritivos deste trabalho, a qualidade da amizade, a regulação emocional e a
autoestima estão correlacionadas, as raparigas demonstram níveis mais elevados de qualidade
da amizade e os adolescentes mais novos apresentaram níveis mais altos no conflito e traição e
na capacidade de resolução de problemas. Análises de regressão revelaram que a regulação
emocional é um mediador entre a qualidade da amizade e a autoestima.
ABSTRACT: Adolescence is a very complex and significant period of development in an individual's life, with several changes occurring at biological, behavioural, and psychological levels, some of which relate to the quality of friendship, emotional regulation, and self-esteem. Several authors reveal that friendship is correlated to emotional regulation and self-esteem. Furthermore, studies indicate that young females have superior friendship qualities, there is no consensus on which gender has better emotional regulation and boys have better self-esteem. That said, the study focuses on understanding these variables, how they interact with each other and finding out if there are gender and age differences. Thus, a survey was applied to adolescents between 15 and 19 years old, where the Friendship Quality Questionnaire, the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for Childrens and Adolescents and the Self-Perception Profile for Adolescents were applied. As descriptive results of this work, friendship quality, emotional regulation and self-esteem are correlated, girls showed higher levels of friendship quality and younger adolescents showed higher levels of conflict and betrayal and problem-solving skills. Regression analyses revealed that emotional regulation is a mediator between the quality of friendship and self-esteem.
