O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender se o Stresse Parental tem influência nas
Competências Sociais dos adolescentes, e verificar se a Regulação Emocional dos mesmos
ajudava a explicar essa associação. Participaram neste estudo 90 pais, 93 mães e 102
adolescentes com idades compreendidas entre os 15 e os 17 anos. O estudo é transversal e adota
uma metodologia quantitativa. Os instrumentos utilizados na amostra foram: a Escala de
Stresse Parental de Berry & Jones (1995) que avalia o Stresse Parental; o Questionário de
Regulação Emocional para Crianças e Adolescentes (Gullone & Taffe, 2012), que avalia a
Regulação Emocional dos adolescentes e o Questionário Para Mim é Fácil (Gaspar & Matos,
2015), que avalia as Competências Sociais dos adolescentes. Os resultados mostraram que a
Regulação Emocional dos adolescentes e as Competências Sociais não variam de acordo com
o sexo. Não se verificou uma associação direta entre o stresse dos pais e as Competências
Sociais dos filhos. No entanto verificou-se uma associação indireta entre o Stresse Parental
paterno e menores Competências Sociais dos filhos, associada a um menor uso da estratégia de
Regulação Emocional Reavaliação Cognitiva. O efeito indireto da Supressão Expressiva dos
filhos não foi significativo. Relativamente ao Stresse Parental materno, este não se associou
diretamente nem indiretamente às Competências Sociais dos filhos. De forma geral, os
resultados aqui encontrados sugerem que o Stresse Parental paterno, muitas vezes
negligenciado na literatura, pode ter um impacto no funcionamento psicológico dos
adolescentes, sobretudo através de uma interferência no desenvolvimento de estratégias de
Regulação Emocional mais adaptativas, como a Reavaliação Cognitiva durante a adolescência.
ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to understand whether Parental Stress has an influence on the Social Skills of adolescents, and to verify whether their Emotional Regulation helped to explain this association. 90 fathers, 93 mothers and 102 adolescents aged between 15 and 17 participated in this study. The study is transversal and adopts a quantitative methodology.The instruments used in the sample were: the Parental Stress Scale by Berry & Jones (1995), which assesses Parental Stress; the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire - Children and Adolescents (Gullone & Taffe, 2012), which assesses the Emotional Regulation of adolescents and the Para Mim é Fácil Questionnaire (Gaspar & Matos, 2015), which assesses the Social Skills of adolescents. The results showed that adolescents' Emotional Regulation and Social Skills do not vary according to gender. There was no direct association between parental stress and children's Social Skills. However, there was an indirect association between paternal Parental Stress and lower children's Social Skills, associated with less use of the Emotional Regulation Cognitive Reappraisal strategy. The indirect effect of children's Expressive Suppression was not significant. Regarding maternal Parental Stress, it was neither directly nor indirectly associated with the children's Social Skills. In general, the results found here suggest that paternal Parental Stress, often neglected in the literature, can have an impact on the psychological functioning of adolescents, especially through interference in the development of more adaptive Emotional Regulation strategies, such as Cognitive Reappraisal during adolescence.
