Abstract(s)
É com os pais e no contexto familiar que a criança tem os primeiros contactos e inicia
o seu desenvolvimento. Deste modo o conflito Conjugal, resultante de uma interação
negativa entre os pais, pode influenciar negativamente o desenvolvimento da criança.
Partindo deste pressuposto este trabalho visou estudar a influência do conflito
conjugal e do Envolvimento Paterno em três aspetos-chave do desenvolvimento da
criança, nomeadamente, a competência social, a agressividade e o isolamento. O
primeiro objetivo consiste na análise da associação entre o Envolvimento Paterno e o
Envolvimento Materno. Adicionalmente averiguou-se a existência de diferenças entre
o sexo da criança face ao conflito conjugal, ao envolvimento paterno e materno e às
três características, competência social, agressividade e isolamento. Finalmente,
verificou-se a influência entre a discórdia conjugal e a Competência Social,
Agressividade e Isolamento. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que, em geral,
existe uma concordância entre os pais no que diz respeito às responsabilidades que
cada um desempenha nas diferentes tarefas diárias, o que aponta para uma partilha
parental. Não foram verificadas diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre o sexo
da criança e o conflito conjugal, assim como não foi verificada a diferença entre o
sexo e as características competência social, isolamento e agressividade. O
envolvimento materno esteve mais associado com as tarefas de cuidado e o
envolvimento paterno com as tarefas de lazer e brincadeira. Por fim, verificou-se uma
correlação significativa entre o conflito parental e os comportamentos externalizantes
da criança, isto é, a agressividade e o isolamento. No entanto, não foi possível
concluir que a discórdia parental tivesse uma influência na competência social da
criança.
