Advisor(s)
Abstract(s)
A toxicodependĂȘncia Ă© caracterizada por uma realidade complexa, muitas vezes
associada a ambientes familiares menos funcionais e a comportamentos agressivos por
parte dos consumidores e/ou dependentes. Uma vez que a famĂlia Ă© a primeira fonte de
socialização do indivĂduo, torna-se pertinente averiguar a influĂȘncia deste contexto no
fenĂłmeno da toxicodependĂȘncia, assim como verificar a associação de comportamentos
agressivos a este fenĂłmeno.
Os objetivos desta investigação são os seguintes: a) Avaliar as diferenças
significativas entre os dois grupos amostrais (toxicodependentes vs. nĂŁo
toxicodependentes), em relação aos scores de ambiente familiar e agressividade; b)
Avaliar a associação entre agressividade e ambiente familiar no grupo de sujeitos
toxicodependentes e no grupo de sujeitos nĂŁo toxicodependentes; c) Verificar a
existĂȘncia de associação significativa entre a toxicomania e a agressividade; d) Verificar
a existĂȘncia de associação significativa entre a toxicomania e o ambiente familiar.
A amostra Ă© constituĂda por 44 adultos (dos 18 aos 45 anos), sendo que 22
participantes apresentam consumo de substĂąncias psicoativas e os restantes 22 nĂŁo. Os
instrumentos utilizados sĂŁo i) o QuestionĂĄrio de dados sociodemogrĂĄfico, ii) o
Instrumento do Historial Familiar (IHF) e iii) o QuestionĂĄrio de Agressividade.
No que diz respeito ao ambiente familiar não se verificaram diferenças
significativas em relação aos dois grupos amostrais, contudo, o grupo de sujeitos
toxicodependentes apresenta um nĂvel de agressividade ligeiramente superior (M = 2,43;
DP = 0,6), comparativamente ao grupo de sujeitos nĂŁo toxicodependentes (M = 2.06;
DP = 0,47). A correlação entre a âAgressividadeâ e o âAmbiente Familiarâ nos dois
grupos amostrais Ă© forte (r=0,626; p=0,05), a correlação entre a âAgressividadeâ e a
âToxicodependĂȘnciaâ foi negativa e moderada (r = -0,331; p =0,028) e a associação
entre o âAmbiente Familiarâ e a âToxicodependĂȘnciaâ foi nula (r = 0,090; p = 0,560).
ABSTRACT: Drug addiction is characterized by a complex reality, many times associated with less functional family environments and aggressive behavior by consumers and / or dependents. Since the family is the primary source of socialization of the individual, it is pertinent to examine the influence of this context in the phenomenon of drug addiction, as well as investigate the relationship of this phenomenon with aggressive behaviors. This research aims at: a) evaluate the significant differences between the two sample groups (drug addicts vs no drug addicts), compared to scores of family environment and aggression, b) assess the association between aggression and environment in group of addicts and non-addicts group, c) check for significant association between drug addiction and aggression. d) check for significant association between drug addiction and family environment. The sample consists of 44 adults (18-45 years-old), from wich, 22 with addition to psychoactive substances. The instruments used are i) the socio-demographic questionnaire, ii) the Instrument of Family History and iii) the Aggression Questionnaire. There were no significant differences for the two sample groups concerning to the family environment, however, the group of subjects drug-addicts presents a slightly higher level of aggression (M = 2.06; DP = 0,47), compared to the group of subjects with no drug addiction. The correlation between the "Aggression" and "Family Environment" in the two sample groups was good (r=0,626; p=0,05), the correlation between the "Aggression" and "Drug addiction" was negative and moderate (r = -0,331; p =0,028) and the association between "Family Environment" and "Drug addiction" was null (r = 0,090; p = 0,560).
