Abstract(s)
Os padrões de conjugalidade sofreram uma grande mudança nas últimas décadas,
sobretudo devido às alterações que também se fizeram sentir a nível pessoal e social na
sociedade ocidental. Assim, o presente estudo, de cariz quantitativo, teve como objetivo
compreender que relações existem entre as variáveis atitudes face ao casamento, individualismo
e desilusão relacional amorosa, bem como averiguar que diferenças existem nestas variáveis
consoante determinadas variáveis sociodemográficas (sexo, estado civil, filhos e duração da
relação atual). A amostra foi constituída por 331 participantes com experiência mínima de dois
anos de coabitação conjugal, com idades compreendidas entre os 20 e os 59 anos. Os
instrumentos utilizados foram a Escala de Valores Humanos de Schwartz, a Escala de Atitudes
face ao Casamento, e a Escala de Desilusão Relacional. Os resultados revelam que os
participantes com atitudes face ao casamento mais negativas apresentam maior desilusão
relacional amorosa. Verifica-se ainda que, de forma fraca, mas significativa, os participantes
com valores menos individualistas tendem a apresentar atitudes face ao casamento mais
positivas, e aqueles com valores mais individualistas apresentam desilusão relacional amorosa
mais elevada. Para além disto, os participantes casados ou em união de facto, e os que se
encontram numa relação de maior duração, apresentam atitudes face ao casamento mais
positivas. Os participantes com filhos apresentam maior desilusão relacional amorosa. Por fim,
os participantes casados ou em união de facto, os que se encontram numa relação cuja duração
seja mais elevada, e os que têm filhos, são menos individualistas.
ABSTRACT: The patterns of conjugality have undergone a major change in recent decades, mainly due to changes that have also been felt at a personal and social level in western society. The present study, of a quantitative nature, aimed to understand what relationships exist between the variables attitudes towards marriage, individualism and marital disillusionment, as well as to find out what differences exist in these variables according to certain sociodemographic variables (gender, marital status, children and duration of current relationship). The sample consisted of 331 participants with a minimum experience of two years of marital cohabitation, aged between 20 and 59 years. The instruments used were the Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ-21), the Marital Attitudes Scale, and the Marital Disillusionment Scale. The results suggest that participants with more negative attitudes towards marriage have greater marital disillusionment. It is also found that, weakly, but significantly, participants with less individualistic values tend to have higher attitudes towards marriage, and those with more individualistic values show higher marital disillusionment. In addition, participants who are married or in cohabitation, and those who are in a longer-term relationship, have more positive attitudes towards marriage. Participants with children show greater marital disillusionment. Finally, participants who are married or in cohabitation, those who are in a longer-term relationship, and those who have children, are less individualistic.
