Abstract(s)
Recomendações atuais sugerem a ausência de contacto com dispositivos eletrónicos
durante os dois primeiros anos de vida e a necessidade de adequada supervisão do uso até
aos 18. Sendo poucos os estudos focados nas consequências do uso problemático de
tecnologias nos mais novos, este trabalho visa uma avaliação tripartida (pais, professores
e crianças) dos comportamentos e dependências online de crianças dos 6 aos 10 anos. No
total, 35 crianças, 47 pais e 9 professores preencheram os protocolos de investigação que
incluíam as versões exploratórias da Problematic and Risky Media Use in Children
Checklist, a versão portuguesa do Internet Parenting Styles Instrument, a Escala de
Alterações Funcionais pelo Uso Problemático da Internet e o Strenghts and Difficulties
Questionnaire na versão para pais e professores. Verificou-se que, apesar das três
entidades avaliarem de igual forma o uso de dispositivos eletrónicos pelas crianças
(Fr=3,586; p=0,166), pais e professores evidenciam maior percentagem de sinais de risco
e uso problemático. O grau de dependência na Internet dos pais não parece estar associado
aos comportamentos digitais das crianças (rs=0,03; p=0,857; rs=0,33; p=0,063). Contudo,
a supervisão parental parece influenciar a forma como os mais novos utilizam as
tecnologias (rs=-0,50; p=0,000) e a avaliação que os pais fazem dos sintomas emocionais
e dos comportamentos de hiperatividade parecem estar relacionados ao tipo de uso das
crianças (rs=0,39; p=0,006; rs=0,30; p=0,043). Este estudo contribui para o conhecimento
das consequências do uso problemático nalguns indicadores de desenvolvimento
normativo das crianças desta faixa etária, ajudando a direcionar intervenções futuras neste
campo.
