Abstract(s)
Este estudo visou agrupar informações sobre o processo de envelhecimento, tendo em conta todo um conjunto de variáveis referentes aos adultos idosos portugueses e, também a sua caracterização sócio-democráfica ao nível das diferenças de género, das habilitações literárias e do estado civil. Assim, pretende-se afirmar que estes factores sócio-demográficos terão uma influência directa sobre as atitudes sexuais dos adultos idosos. Considerando a dimensionalidade das atitudes sexuais, como ficou demonstrado em trabalhos anteriores (Hendrick, Hendrick, Slapion-Foote e Foote (1985); Alferes (1994); Hendrick, Hendrick e Reich (2006); Margalha, Diniz & Vaz (2008)) presume-se que estes factores sócio-demográficos tenham influência directa sobre cada uma das dimensões (Permissividade, Instrumentalidade, Comunhão, Planeamento Familiar) das atitudes sexuais dos adultos idosos. Admite-se ainda a existência de efeitos indirectos entre esses factores sócio-demográficos e estas dimensões mediados pela Força da Fé, dada a importância da religião na análise deste domínio.
ABSTRACT------ This study aim to contain information on the aging process, having in account an entire group of variables regarding the Portuguese senior adults and, also their characterization socio-demographic at the level of the gender differences, educational qualifications and marital status. Therefore, it intends to affirm that these socio-demographic factors will have a direct influence on the senior adults' sexual attitudes. Considering the dimensionality of the sexual attitudes, as it was demonstrated in previous works (Hendrick, Hendrick, Slapion-Foote and Foote (1985); Alferes (1994); Hendrick, Hendrick and Reich (2006); Margalha, Diniz & Vaz (2008)) it presumes that these socio-demographic factors have direct influence on each one of the dimensions (Permissiveness, Instrumentality, Communion, Familiar Planning) of the sexual attitudes it senior adults. It is still admitted the existence of indirect effects among those socio-demographic-factors and these dimensions mediated by the Force of the Faith, given the importance of the religion in the analysis of this domain.
