Abstract(s)
Os estudos recentes referem a existência de uma relação entre o comportamento de bullying e o suporte que os jovens recebem das suas famílias. Um ambiente familiar sentido como pouco afectivo ou demasiado rígido poderá aumentar a probabilidade da ocorrência de
comportamentos agressivos. No que concerne aos factores de risco inerentes ao meio
próximo, podemos identificar os seguintes o convívio com amigos e colegas desviantes e a
rejeição pelos pares.
Este estudo tem como principal objectivo analisar a relação entre a percepção que os jovens têm do seu suporte sócio-familiar e os diferentes tipos de comportamentos agressivos.
Participaram, neste estudo, 286 estudantes da Escola Secundária Emídio Navarro, com média
de idades de 16 anos (M = 15,60), a frequentar o 3º ciclo do ensino básico e secundário. Os estudantes preencheram um Questionário Sociodemográfico; a Escala de Auto-Avaliação da Agressão (Little, T. D., Jones, S. M., Henrich, C. C., & Hawley, P. H., 2003, versão experimental de Gouveia, Leal, Cardoso, Sangalhos & Nunes, 2013), a Escala de Percepção do Suporte Social Familiar (PSS-Fa, Procidano & Heller, 1983; versão experimental de Gouveia, Leal, Cardoso, Sangalhos & Nunes, 2013) e a Escala de Percepção do Suporte
Social dos Amigos (PSS-Am, Kopperman, 2007; versão experimental de Gouveia, Leal,
Cardoso, Sangalhos & Nunes, 2013).
Os nossos resultados encontraram uma fraca relação entre o desenvolvimento de
comportamentos agressivos e a percepção do suporte familiar. Contudo, as relações de
amizade nesta fase do ciclo de vida e as formas de agressividade directa e relacional
encontram-se associadas negativamente.
ABSTRACT: Recent studies have mentioned the existence of a relationship between bullying and the support adolescents receive from their families. A family environment perceived as being poorly affectionate or too strict may increase the likelihood of engaging in aggressive behaviours. Regarding the risk factors inherent in the environment, we can identify the following: interaction with deviant classmates and friends and peer rejection. The main goal of this study is the analysis of the relationship between young people’s perception of social support and the different types of aggressive behaviours. 286 students from Escola Secundária Emídio Navarro participated in this study, their ages averaging 16 years (M = 15,60). The participants filled a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the Self-Assessment Scale of Aggression (Little, T. D., Jones, S. M., Henrich, C. C., & Hawley, P. H., 2003, experimental version by Gouveia, Leal, Cardoso, Sangalhos & Nunes,2013), the Scale of Perceived Social Support from Family (PSS-Fa, Procidano & Heller, 1983; experimental version by Gouveia, Leal, Cardoso, Sangalhos & Nunes, 2013), the Scale of Perceived Social Support from Friends (PSS-Am, Kopperman, 2007; experimental version by Gouveia, Leal, Cardoso, Sangalhos & Nunes, 2013). In our results we found a weak association between the onset and maintenance of aggressive behaviours and the perception of social support. Nonetheless, friendships during this stage in life, the direct and the relational forms of aggression are negatively associated.
