Abstract(s)
Vårios estudos indicam que as interacçÔes sociais entre pares são fundamentais para um desenvolvimento saudåvel e harmonioso das crianças e dos adolescentes. O retraimento social é o termo utilizado para explicar o que pode levar as crianças a não interagirem com os seus pares. Esta é uma problemåtica que tem despertado grande interesse para investigação e que estå associada a vårias perturbaçÔes internas, podendo também ter o comportamento agressivo como subjacente.
O presente estudo tem como objectivo alargar o conhecimento acerca da problemĂĄtica do retraimento social em termos das suas consequĂȘncias negativas ligadas a problemas internos, nomeadamente a nĂvel do autoconceito. Pretende-se comparar o autoconceito dos adolescentes, fazendo uma distinção entre jovens retirados e agressivos e jovens retirados e nĂŁo agressivos, de forma a verificar se existem diferenças e como estas se manifestam.
Participaram neste estudo 2931 adolescentes (1466 do sexo masculino e 1465 do sexo feminino), estudantes do 7Âș, 8Âș e 9Âș ano, provenientes de escolas da regiĂŁo de Lisboa. O instrumento utilizado para a avaliação do retraimento social foi a versĂŁo portuguesa do E.C.P. (Extended Class Play).
Os resultados indicaram que nĂŁo existem diferenças entre os sexos e em função do ano lectivo relativamente ao retraimento social e Ă agressividade, e que estes conceitos tambĂ©m nĂŁo estĂŁo correlacionados. No que diz respeito ao autoconceito nĂŁo se verificaram diferenças entre os grupos retirados e nĂŁo agressivos e retirados e agressivos, excepcionalmente nas dimensĂ”es aceitação social e competĂȘncia atlĂ©tica Ă© que foram encontradas diferenças.
ABSTRACT: Several studies indicate that social interactions among peers are critical for a healthy and harmonious development for children and adolescents. The social withdrawal is the term used to explain what can lead to children not to interacting with their peers. This is an problematic that has aroused great interest for research and it is associated with various internal disturbances and may also have the aggressive behavior as underlying. The present study aims to extend the knowledge about the social withdrawal problem in terms of the negative consequences linked to internal problems, including the level of self-concept. Intended to compare the self-concept of adolescents, making a distinction between aggressive and withdrawn young and not aggressive and withdrawn young, in order to verify the differences and how they manifest. 2931 adolescents participated in this study (1466 males and 1465 females), students from the 7th, 8th and 9th grade, from schools in the Lisbon region. The instrument used for the assessment of social withdrawal was the Portuguese version of E.C.P. (Extended Class Play). The results indicated that there are no differences between the genders and in function of the school year in relation to social withdrawal and aggression, and that these concepts are also not correlated. Regarding self-concept, there were no differences shown between the withdrawn and non-aggressive groups and withdrawn and aggressive groups, exceptionally differences were found in the social acceptance and athletic ability dimensions.
