Abstract(s)
Aos olhos da sociedade, a adolescência é considerada um conjunto de alterações que o
adolescente sofre ao longo do tempo tornando esta etapa complexa e levando à constante
adaptação e regulação do jovem. Para que o adolescente beneficie de um melhor
desenvolvimento, é importante a participação da família ao longo desta fase, uma vez que a
natureza das relações influência diretamente o desenvolvimento dos sujeitos. Além disso, as
relações parentais são ainda consideradas um dos fatores principais que influenciam a saúde
mental dos jovens. Esta investigação tem como objetivo principal analisar o papel mediador da
regulação emocional do adolescente na relação entre os estilos parentais e o bem-estar
emocional, psicológico e social do jovem. Participaram neste estudo 351 adolescentes com
idades compreendidas entre os 14 e 21 anos (M= 18,7). De modo a verificarmos este objetivo,
foram aplicados 3 questionários para além dos dados sociodemográficos: Questionário de
Estilos Educativos Parentais Revisto (QEEP-r); Questionário da regulação das emoções 2;
Escala Contínua da Saúde Mental – versão reduzida (Jovens) (MHC-SF). Os resultados deste
estudo indicam como esperado, que as variáveis em análise estão correlacionadas. A análise
dos modelos de mediação para as variáveis, permitiu concluir que existe uma mediação parcial
da Regulação Emocional na relação entre os estilos parentais e o Bem-estar emocional,
psicológico e social dos jovens. Adicionalmente foi ainda verificada a existência de uma
diferença significativa na perceção que os adolescentes fazem do estilo parental do pai e da
mãe, contudo é importante referir que o sexo do próprio individuo não teve impacto.
In the eyes of society, adolescence is considered a of changes that the adolescent suffers over time, making this stage complex and leading to the constant adaptation and regulation of the youth. For the adolescent to benefit from a better development, the family's participation throughout the phase is important, since the nature of the relationships directly influences their development. In addition, family relationships are also considered one of the main factors that influence individuals’ mental health. This investigation aims to analyze the mediating role of adolescent emotional regulation in the relationship between parenting styles and the psychological well-being of young people. This study has the participation of 351 adolescents aged between 14 and 21 years (M= 18,7). In order to verify the objective of the present investigation, 3 questionnaires were applied in addition to the sociodemographic data: Revised Parental Educational Styles Questionnaire (QEEP-r); Emotion regulation questionnaire 2; Continuum Mental Health Scale – short version (Youth) (MHC-SF). The results of this study indicate, as expected, that the variables under analysis are correlated. The analysis of mediation models for the other variables allowed us to conclude that there is a partial mediation of Emotional Regulation in the relationship between parenting styles and the well-being of young people. Additionally, it was found that there is a significant difference in the perception that adolescents make about the parenting style of the father and mother, however it is important to mention that the sex of the individual himself had no impact.
