Problema – Apesar dos inúmeros estudos relativos à ansiedade infantil, pouco se sabe sobre
o seu desenvolvimento psicopatológico, sendo que o papel dos pais (Homens) nesse processo
continua a ser negligenciado pela comunidade científica. Objectivo – Analisar a relação entre
as cognições elaboradas pelas crianças perante situações ambíguas e a ansiedade dos pais
(Homens) e suas cognições. Método – Inicialmente foi utilizado o método da análise de
conteúdo com o objectivo de categorizar as cognições apresentadas pelas crianças e pelos seus
pais (Homens) perante os estímulos ambíguos das nove histórias. Seguidamente utilizou-se
uma metodologia quantitativa, correlacionando e comparando as cognições das crianças e dos
seus pais (Homens) com os resultados obtidos na escala sociodemográfica, SCARED-R e
S.T.A.I. Resultados: Os resultados sugerem que existe uma correlação estatisticamente
significativa entre a Ansiedade Traço dos pais (Homens) e os seus pensamentos negativos
perante os estímulos ambíguos apresentados, assim como, existe uma correlação
estatisticamente significativa entre as habilitações literárias dos pais (Homens) e o número de
pensamentos negativos das crianças. Este estudo não obteve nenhuma associação
estatisticamente significativa entre a ansiedade dos pais (Homens) e as cognições dos seus
filhos perante os estímulos ambíguos apresentados, assim como, não encontrou uma
associação estatisticamente significativa entre as cognições dos pais (Homens) e as cognições
dos seus filhos perante estímulos ambíguos apresentados. Conclusões: Os resultados deste
estudo, contradizem na sua maioria, os de outros estudos empíricos. Estes podem advir da
dimensão reduzida da amostra e do facto de existirem poucos estudos que avaliem as
variáveis pretendidas apenas numa amostra masculina.
ABSTRACT: Problem- Although numerous studies of the childhood anxiety, little is known about the psychopathological development, since the contribution of father´s in this process continues to be neglected by the scientific community. Objective - Analyze the relation between organized cognitions by children in ambiguous situations and the anxiety of father´s and their cognitions. Method – Initially was used the content analysis method in order to categorize the cognitions presented by children and their fathers facing the ambiguous stimulus of nine stories. After, was used a quantitative methodology, correlating and comparative the cognitions of the children and from their father´s, with the obtained results in the socio demographic scale, in the SCARED-R and S.T.A.I. Results – The results suggest that there is a statistically significant correlation between trait-anxiety of father´s and their negative thoughts facing the ambiguous stimulus presented, as well, there is a statistically significant correlation between the educational qualifications of father´s and the number of negative thoughts of children. However, this study didn’t find any statistically significant association between father´s anxiety and cognitions of their children facing the presented ambiguous stimulus, as well, it didn’t find a statistically significant association between father´s cognitions and cognitions of their children facing the presented ambiguous stimulus. Conclusions: The results of this study, mostly contradict, those of other empirical studies. These contradictory data can result from factors such as reduced sample size and the fact that there are few studies that evaluate the desired variables only in male sample.
