O presente estudo teve como principal objetivo analisar a influência das crenças
paternas no envolvimento do pai nos cuidados prestados ao seu filho(a), através do papel
mediador da intimidade conjugal e de cada uma das suas componentes. A amostra foi composta
por 83 participantes do sexo masculino com filhos até 3 anos e que mantinham uma relação
amorosa e coabitavam com a mãe da criança. Os inquiridos foram contactados através de
colégios e divulgação online do estudo, caracterizando-se como uma amostra por conveniência.
Os instrumentos utilizados foram: Escala Papel do Pai (EPP), Escala do Envolvimento Paterno
(EEP) e Escala da Intimidade Conjugal (PAIR). Os resultados do estudo destacam que a relação
entre as crenças paternas e o envolvimento do pai são significativas e que a variável intimidade
conjugal medeia de forma total esta mesma relação. Verifica-se também que as componentes
validação pessoal e comunicação medeiam a relação principal, no entanto, a componente
abertura ao exterior apresenta resultados não significativos enquanto mediadora da relação das
crenças paternas e do envolvimento do pai. Em suma, os resultados reforçam a importância da
estabilidade e satisfação da relação conjugal de modo a promover uma maior participação nos
cuidados ao bebé.
ABSTRACT: The main objective of this study was to analyze the influence of paternal beliefs on the father's involvement in the care provided to his child, through the mediating role of marital intimacy and each of its components. The sample consisted of 83 male participants with children up to 3 years old and who maintained a romantic relationship and cohabited with the child's mother. Respondents were contacted through schools and online dissemination of the study, characterizing it as a convenience sample. The scales used were: Role of the Father Scale (EPP), Paternal Involvement Scale (EEP) and Marital Intimacy Scale (PAIR). The results of the study highlight that the relationship between paternal beliefs and the father's involvement are significant and that the marital intimacy variable fully mediates this same relationship. It is also verified that the components personal validation and communication mediate the main relationship, however, the openness to the exterior component presents non-significant results as a mediator of the relationship between paternal beliefs and the father's involvement. In short, the results reinforce the importance of stability and satisfaction in the marital relationship in order to promote greater participation in baby care.
