Resumo(s)
No presente estudo foram examinadas as correlações entre a qualidade da amizade e o autoconceito em crianças com idades compreendidas entre os 8 e os 11 anos. O principal objetivo é explorar se existe uma relação entre a qualidade da amizade e as dimensões do autoconceito e da autoestima global. O estudo foi composto por 84 estudantes do 3º e 4º ano do ensino primário de três escolas públicas, de ambos os géneros. A recolha de dados quantitativos foi realizada através de dois questionários, o Friendship Quality Questionnaire [FQQ] e o Self-Perception Profile for Children [SPPC]. Quanto aos resultados, verificou-se que se a criança mantém relações de amizade com menos desentendimentos e desconfianças, mais perceciona em si competências ao nível da aceitação por parte dos seus pares, da competência em jogos e desporto, do seu aspeto físico e da satisfação consigo próprio. Também se verificou que quanto mais a criança cuida e apoia os seus amigos, maior é a aceitação por parte dos seus pares.
