Abstract(s)
Este estudo, de natureza exploratória e comparativa, pretende contribuir para uma melhor compreensão da representação interna da mãe, no contexto da pré-adolescência e da adolescência, de modo a diminuir algumas lacunas existentes na literatura. Assim, este trabalho pretende: a) compreender como se desenvolvem os processos de transformação na imago materna e b) compreender como se desenvolvem os processos de identificação à imago materna, durante a pré-adolescência e a adolescência. Constituiu-se uma amostra de 42 raparigas, as quais foram divididas em três grupos consoante a idade, i.e., 12 anos (n=14), 13 anos (n=14) e 14 anos (n=14). Foi aplicado o Teste de Apercepção Temática (T.A.T), especificamente o cartão 7GF.
Como principais resultados refere-se a existência de diferenças entre pré-adolescentes e adolescentes, relativamente às transformações na imago materna e à identificação a esta. Nomeadamente a hesitação entre a dependência e a autonomia aos doze anos, a ambivalência na relação com a mãe aos treze anos, e a identificação antagónica face à mãe aos catorze anos.
ABSTRACT------This exploratory and comparative study intends to contribute to a better comprehension of the internal representation of the mother, in the context of early adolescence and adolescence, in a way to decrease some of the existing gap on the literature. Thus, the goals of the study are: a) understand how the transformation process develops in maternal imago and b) understand how the identification process develops during early adolescence and adolescence. For that it was formed a sample with 42 adolescents, which were divided in three groups according to the age, i.e., 12 years old (n=14), 13 years old (n=14) and 14 years old (n=14). It was applied the Thematic Apperception Test (T.A.T.) specifically the 7GF card. As main results of the present study we can say that there were differences between early adolescents and adolescents, relatively to the transformations in the maternal imago and in the identification to her. Namely the hesitation between dependency and autonomy at the age of twelve, the ambivalence in the relationship with the mother at the age of thirteen, and the antagonistic identification to the mother at the age of fourteen.
