O objectivo deste presente trabalho foi verificar se existe estabilidade em algumas medidas sociométricas e entre elas (nomeadamente as nomeações e a comparação de pares) e se essa estabilidade também se verifica nas relações de amizade de crianças do pré-escolar. A estabilidade destas amizades foi observada através da análise comparativa de sociogramas das nomeações enquanto que a estabilidade das medidas foi verificada através de correlações de Pearson.
Numa amostra total de 232 crianças com idade dos 3 aos 6 anos (um grupo de 3 anos, quatro grupos de 4 anos, quatro grupos de 5 anos e dois grupos de 6 anos), pôde-se verificar que existe, de facto, estabilidade nas medidas e entre elas (quando uma criança é nomeada num ano, também o é nos anos seguintes). Contudo esta estabilidade não se mantem nas relações de amizade das crianças, apesar de se poder verificar que o número de amizades recíprocas aumenta com a idade tal como aumenta a consistência nas medidas.
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this work was to verify if there is stability in some sociometric measures (nomination and paired-comparison) and if that stability also remains in friendship relations of preschooler. The stability of this friendship as been checked with the comparative analysis of nominations sociograms, while the measures stability was checked through the Pearson correlations. In a sample of 232 children with ages between 3 and 6 years old (one group of 3 years, four groups of 4 years, four groups of 5 years and two groups of 6 years), we can check that, in fact, exists stability in measure and between them (when a child is nominated in one year, is also in subsequent year). However, this stability do not remains on friendship relations of this children, despite being able to verify that the number of reciprocal friendships increases with age as increasing the consistency in the measures.
