As relações de amizade na adolescência contribuem na contrução da identidade,
autorregulação e raciocinio moral (Hartup,1993; Piaget, 1970; Rubin et al., 2010). A amizade é
definida como uma relação de afeto voluntária onde há reciprocidade e compreensão mútua
(Leibowitz, 2018; Parker et al, 2006; Youniss & Smollar, 1987 ). Envolve aspectos positivos
(E.g.: validação, intimidade, apoio) (Rubin et al, 2008; Selman, 1980) e aspectos negativos (E.g.:
conflitos e desentendimentos) (Hartup, 1993).
Além dos contextos tradicionais, atualmente os adolescentes relacionam-se virtualmente
(e.g. chats de mensagens, mídias sociais e jogos), favorecendo intimidade, suporte e gestão de
conflitos. Durante o confinamento causado pela COVID-19 o uso das tecnologias para
manutenção da amizade foi fator protetor na saude mental de jovens (Anasuyari et al, 2023;
James et al, 2023).
O impacto negativo das tecnologias é estudado há décadas (Greenfield, 1999; Griffiths,
2000; Morahan-Martin & Schumache, 2000; Young, 1998). Porém, o uso da internet favorece a
aquisição e manutenção da amizade (Colasante et al., 2022; Davis, 2012; Kaye & Quinn, 2020;
Valkenburg & Peter, 2007). As experiências online são intrinsecamente entrelaçadas na
complexidade de fatores biológicos e ambientais (Hollenstein & Colasante, 2020). Há uma fusão
dos espaços online e offline, uma realidade híbrida (Kelly, 2019).
O presente estudo teve como objetivo examinar as associações existentes entre
comportamento online e a qualidade da amizade numa amostra (n=311) de jovens (10 a 15 anos)
estudantes do 5º ao 9º ano de uma Escola Pública de Cascais. Os resultados mostraram que os
jovens tiveram boa qualidade global da amizade. Utilizam a internet para aquisição de
informações, conhecer pessoas, aprendizados e aprofundamento. Além da manutenção das
amizades já existentes.
ABSTRACT: Friendship relationships in adolescence contribute to the construction of identity, self regulation and moral reasoning (Hartup, 1993; Piaget, 1970; Rubin et al., 2010). Friendship is defined as a voluntary relationship of affection where there is reciprocity and mutual understanding (Leibowitz, 2018; Parker et al, 2006; Youniss & Smollar, 1987). It involves positive aspects (E.g.: validation, intimacy, support) (Rubin et al, 2008; Selman, 1980) and negative aspects (E.g.: conflicts and disagreements) (Hartup, 1993). In addition to traditional contexts, teenagers currently interact virtually (e.g. messaging chats, social media and games), promoting intimacy, support and conflict management. During the confinement caused by COVID-19, the use of technologies to maintain friendships was a protective factor in the mental health of young people (Anasuyari et al, 2023; James et al, 2023). The negative impact of technologies has been studied for decades (Greenfield, 1999; Griffiths, 2000; Morahan-Martin & Schumache, 2000; Young, 1998). However, the use of the internet favors the acquisition and maintenance of friendship (Colasante et al., 2022; Davis, 2012; Kaye & Quinn, 2020; Valkenburg & Peter, 2007). Online experiences are intrinsically intertwined in the complexity of biological and environmental factors (Hollenstein & Colasante, 2020). There is a fusion of online and offline spaces, a hybrid reality (Kelly, 2019). The present study aimed to examine the associations between online behavior and the quality of friendship in a sample (n=311) of young people (10 to 15 years old) students from the 5th to the 9th year of a Public School in Cascais. The results showed that young people had good overall friendship quality. They use the internet to acquire information, meet people, learn and deepen. In addition to maintaining existing friendships.
