Abstract(s)
Com este estudo pretende-se fornecer evidência empírica adicional sobre o impacto que o
tipo de funcionamento familiar tem nos comportamentos desviantes dos adolescentes. O tipo de
funcionamento familiar, equilibrado ou desequilibrado, será analisado à luz do Modelo
Circumplexo (Olson, 2000). Serão também analisados o autocontrolo e o narcisismo como
variáveis mediadoras entre o funcionamento familiar e os comportamentos desviantes. De acordo
com a Teoria Geral do Crime (Gottfredson & Hirschi, 1990) um baixo autocontrolo poderá levar
o adolescente a ter um comportamento desviante. Para estes autores, o meio familiar reveste-se
de particular importância no desenvolvimento do autocontrolo das crianças. Segundo a literatura,
o narcisismo mal adaptativo poderá ser um indicador de delinquência (Pechorro, 2011).
Participaram 233 adolescentes dos 15 aos 18 anos, de um estabelecimento de ensino do
distrito de Lisboa, aos quais foram aplicados os instrumentos: Escala de Avaliação da
Flexibilidade e Coesão Familiar (FACES IV) (Olson, 2011), Dispositivo de Despiste de Processo
Anti-social (Antisocial Process Screening Device – APSD) - Escala de Avaliação do Narcisismo
(Pechorro & Vieira, 2012), Escala de Autocontrolo (Fonseca, 2002a), Escala de Comportamentos
Desviantes (Sanches & Gouveia-Pereira, 2013), e por último, um questionário sociodemográfico.
Os resultados revelaram que quanto mais equilibrado o funcionamento familiar dos
jovens, menos comportamentos desviantes exibem. Quanto ao efeito de mediação do
autocontrolo e do narcisismo entre o funcionamento familiar e os comportamentos desviantes,
verificou-se que o autocontrolo medeia parcialmente o funcionamento familiar e os
comportamentos desviantes; e que não existe associação entre o narcisismo, o funcionamento
familiar e esses mesmos comportamentos. São discutidas as conclusões e as limitações deste
estudo.
ABSTRACT: The intention of this study is to provide additional empiric evidence about the impact that the type of family system has on the deviant behaviours of adolescents. The type of familiar system, balanced or unbalanced, will be analysed in the light of the Circumplex Model (Olson, 2000). In analysis will also be self- control and narcissism as metering variables between familiar systems and deviant behaviours. According to the General Theory of Crime (Gottfredson & Hirschi, 1990) a low self-control could also lead the adolescent into deviant behaviours. For these authors, the familiar environment carries a particular importance in the development of children’s self-control. According to the literature, maladaptive narcissism may be a hint of delinquency (Pechorro, 2011). In this study participated 233 adolescents with ages from 15 to 18 years old from a school belonging to the district of Lisbon to which were applied the instruments: Flexibility and Familiar Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES IV) (Olson, 2011), Antisocial Process Screening Device – APSD – Narcissism Evaluation Scale (Pechorro & Vieira, 2012), Self-control Scale (Fonseca, 2002a), Scale of Deviant Behaviours (Sanches & Gouveia-Pereira, 2013) and at last, a sociodemographic questioning. The results revealed that the more balanced familiar system among the young the less deviant behaviours they exhibit. As for the effect of mediation of self-control and narcissism between the familiar system and deviant behaviours, it was proven that self-control partially mediates the familiar system and deviant behaviours. Furthermore, that is no connection between narcissism, familiar system and those same behaviours whatsoever. The conclusions and the limitations and of this study are discussed.
