A presente investigação tem como finalidade o estudo da relação com a madrasta na
pré-adolescência feminina. São objectivos do estudo a descrição e compreensão da
forma como as pré-adolescentes de onze e treze anos representam a madrasta, a
relação com a madrasta e a evolução da relação com a mesma. Para este estudo foi
construído um guião de entrevista e realizadas vinte entrevistas semi-directivas a dez
raparigas de onze anos e dez raparigas de treze anos. As entrevistas foram
posteriormente analisadas qualitativamente através de grelhas de categorias
construídas para o efeito. Os resultados encontrados demonstram que em ambos os
grupos, o tipo de relação estabelecida com a madrasta é, regra geral, positiva. A
madrasta é maioritariamente representada como uma amiga. A designação da
madrasta como namorada do pai é mais comum no grupo das meninas mais velhas.
Os conflitos mais frequentes no grupo das meninas mais novas estão relacionados
com a insegurança face à permanência do amor do pai. A lealdade marcada com a
mãe, principalmente nas meninas de onze anos foi transportada e reflectida em todas
as respostas dadas. No grupo dos treze anos os conflitos remetem para a rivalidade
edipiana. Em ambos os grupos o desejo de mudança relacional foi pouco expressivo.

For this study a script of interview was constructed and carried through twenty semistructured interviews of ten young girls of eleven and ten of thirteen years. The interviews later had been analyzed qualitatively through grates of categories constructed for the effect. The joined results demonstrate that in both groups, the type of relation established with the stepmother is, general rule, positive. The Stepmother is majority represented as a friend. The designation of the stepmother as the father’s girlfriend is more used in the group of the oldest girls. The conflicts, more frequent in the group of the younger girls are related with the unreliability face the permanence of the love of the father. The marked loyalty with the mother, mainly in the girls of eleven years was carried and reflected in almost all answers. In the group of the thirteen years the conflicts send us for the oedipical rivalry. In both groups the desire of a relation change was little expressive.
