Abstract(s)
O presente estudo procurou observar num grupo de pessoas com deficiência mental, a relação
que se estabelece entre os estatutos sociométricos e o seu autoconceito.
Foi alvo de estudo um grupo de 21 jovens com deficiência mental ligeira, de ambos os
géneros, com escolaridade mínima de 1º ciclo e máxima de 3º ciclo, inseridos actualmente
num programa de inserção social da pessoa com deficiência mental, que inclui três cursos no
âmbito da formação profissional com vista à integração no mercado de trabalho.
Para a recolha de dados junto dos participantes utilizaram-se os seguintes instrumentos:
- um questionário sociométrico para investigar as escolhas preferenciais que os
participantes realizam dentro do referido grupo, (que expressam os estatutos de
amizade e popularidade que possuem e que atribuem aos outros participantes), perante
duas situações hipotéticas, de lazer e desportiva;
- a escala “Self-Perception Profile for Children” de Harter, para avaliar o autoconceito
dos participantes, global e nas suas diferentes dimensões.
O tratamento dos dados recolhidos foi feito com auxílio do programa SPSS Versão 17.0. Com
a análise dos resultados, para um p <0.05, não foi possível traçar perfil diferenciado do
autoconceito, em que determinadas dimensões se destacassem, e entre as situações hipotéticas
de lazer e desportiva, não se obtiveram diferenças significativas para os estatutos
sociométricos.
Aquando o cruzamento dos dados das várias variáveis, para um p <0.05, foi possível retirar
algumas conclusões: quanto menor a popularidade ao nível do lazer mais favorável é a auto
percepção dos sujeitos relativamente à competência atlética e a tendência para os sujeitos que
têm um melhor auto-conceito, ao nível académico, serem os menos populares ao nível do
lazer.
This study sought to observe a group of people with learning disabilities, the relationship established between sociometric status and their self-concept. It was the subject of a study group of 21 young people with mental retardation, of both sexes, with a 1st and 3rd cycle, today entered into a program of social inclusion of people with disabilities, which includes three courses in training to integrate the labor market. To collect data on the participants used the following instruments: - a sociometric questionnaire to investigate the preferential choices that the participants perform within that group (which express the laws of friendship and popularity they have and they attach to the other participants), where two scenarios, leisure and sports; - the scale "Self-Perception Profile for Children" by Harter, to assess the participants' selfconcept, and global in its various dimensions. The data collected was done with the aid of SPSS version 17.0. The analysis of results for a p <0.05, it was not possible to define the profile of differentiated self-concept, in which certain aspects are highlighted, and between the hypothetical situations and recreational, has not yielded significant differences for the sociometric status. At the intersection of data from several variables, one for p <0.05, it was possible to draw some conclusions: the lower the popularity level of leisure is more favorable to selfperception of the subjects on the athletic competence and the tendency for individuals who have a better self-concept, academic level, are the least popular at leisure.
