Abstract(s)
Enquadramento: Os estilos parentais influenciam o desenvolvimento da criança e do
adolescente, podendo ser um fator protetor ou de risco para a sua saĂșde mental. A literatura tem
mostrado que existe uma relação entre os estilos parentais (democråtico, autoritårio, permissivo,
negligente) e a ansiedade social e autoestima das crianças e adolescentes. Esta investigação tem
como principal objetivo perceber de que forma cada estilo parental influencia o nĂvel de
ansiedade social e autoestima numa amostra de adolescentes. Metodologia: Nesta investigação
participaram 73 adolescentes com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 18 anos. Foram
utilizados os seguintes instrumentos: QuestionĂĄrio de Estilos Educativos Parentais (QEEP);
Escala de Ansiedade Social para Adolescentes (SAS-A); Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg
(RSES). Resultados: Tendo em conta os resultados, verifica-se que: (1) o estilo autoritĂĄrio leva
a um nĂvel mais elevado de ansiedade social, enquanto o estilo negligente leva a um menor
nĂvel; o estilo permissivo leva a nĂveis mais elevados de autoestima, enquanto o estilo
autoritĂĄrio leva a nĂveis mais reduzidos; (2) o estilo autoritĂĄrio leva a maiores nĂveis de
ansiedade social nas trĂȘs subescalas; (3) as raparigas apresentam maiores nĂveis de ansiedade
social e menores nĂveis de autoestima do que os rapazes; (4) o nĂvel de ansiedade social Ă© mais
elevado no 8Âș ano e mais reduzido no 10Âș ano; o nĂvel de autoestima Ă© mais elevado no 10Âș ano
e mais reduzido no 7Âș ano; (5) existem diferenças na perceção do estilo parental nos dois grupos
etĂĄrios; (6) viver com a mĂŁe leva a maiores nĂveis de ansiedade social e menores nĂveis de
autoestima do que viver com famĂlia alargada.
Background: Parenting styles influence the development of children and adolescents and may be a protective or risk factor for their mental health. The literature has shown that there is a relationship between parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, negligent) and the social anxiety and self-esteem of children and adolescents. This research aims to understand how each parenting style influences the level of social anxiety and self-esteem in a sample of adolescents. Methodology: 73 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years participated in this research. The following instruments were used: Parental Educational Styles Questionnaire (QEEP); Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A); Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). Results: Given the results, it appears that: (1) the authoritarian style leads to a higher level of social anxiety, while the negligente style leads to a lower level; permissive style leads to higher levels of self-esteem, while authoritarian style leads to lower levels; (2) authoritarian style leads to higher levels of social anxiety in all three subscales; (3) girls have higher levels of social anxiety and lower levels of self-esteem than boys; (4) the level of social anxiety is highest in grade 8 and lowest in grade 10; the level of self-esteem is highest in grade 10 and lowest in grade 7; (5) there are differences in the perception of parenting style in both age groups; (6) living with a mother leads to higher levels of social anxiety and lower levels of self-esteem than living with an extended family.
