Abstract(s)
O presente estudo pretende fornecer evidências acerca do funcionamento familiar
(coesão e flexibilidade) do adolescente e do impacto nos comportamentos desviantes à
luz do Modelo Circumplexo de Olson (2000). É certo que a família representa um papel
preditivo no desenvolvimento do comportamento delinquente dos jovens. Assim, o
presente estudo pretende avaliar qual das dimensões do sistema familiar tem um maior
impacto nos comportamentos desviantes dos jovens, explorando também a mediação da
perceção de risco e da perceção de falso self do jovem.
Neste estudo participaram 182 adolescentes com idades entre os 15 e os 21 anos,
sendo que os instrumentos utilizados foram a Escala de Avaliação da Flexibilidade e
Coesão Familiar (FACES IV) (Olson, 2011), a Escala de Comportamentos Desviantes
(Sanches & Gouveia-Pereira, 2013), a Escala de Perceção de Risco adaptada (Benthin et
al., 1993) e a Escala de Perceção de Falso Self (Weir & Jose, 2010).
Os resultados revelaram que a coesão familiar tem um maior impacto no desvio
juvenil do que a flexibilidade, sendo que a perceção de risco do jovem medeia a relação
entre o sistema familiar e a desviância. A variável da perceção de falso self não se revelou
mediadora desta relação. As limitações da presente investigação são discutidas.
ABSTRACT: The present study intends to provide evidence about the adolescent's family functioning (cohesion and flexibility) and the impact on deviant behaviors in the light of Olson's Circumplex Model (2000). It is true that the family is a very important socialization agent and that it plays a central and predictive role in the development of juvenile delinquent behavior (Herman et al., 1997; Ary et al., 1999). Thus, the present study assesses which of the dimensions of the family system has the greatest impact on young people's deviant behaviors, also exploring the mediation of young people's perception of risk and false self perception. In this study, 182 adolescents aged between 15 and 21 participated, and the instruments used were the Family Flexibility and Cohesion Scale (FACES IV) (Olson, 2011), the Deviant Behavior Scale (Sanches & Gouveia- Pereira, 2013), the adapted Risk Perception Scale (Benthin et al., 1993) and the False Self Perception Scale (Weir & Jose, 2010). The results revealed that family cohesion has a greater impact on juvenile deviance than flexibility, with young people's perception of risk mediating the relationship between the family system and deviance. The false self perception variable did not prove to be a mediator of this relationship. The limitations of the presente investigation are discussed.
