Abstract(s)
O presente estudo centra-se na atual importância que a figura paterna tem nos
cuidados e na educação dos filhos. Assim, este estudo teve como principal objetivo explorar a
relação entre envolvimento paterno e os estilos parentais com crianças em idade pré escolar.
Procurou-se também comparar o envolvimento paterno entre os estilos parentais:
“autoritativo”, “autoritário” e “permissivo”. Pretendeu-se ainda compreender a existência de diferenças entre sexo, relativamente ao envolvimento paterno e aos estilos parentais
separadamente. Fizeram parte do estudo 656 famílias biparentais, casadas ou em união de
facto (328 mães e 328 pais). As crianças tinham idades compreendidas entre 31 e 78 meses (M=56.21, DP=10.32). Os instrumentos utilizados foram Escala de Envolvimento Parental:
Participação em Atividades de Cuidados e de Socialização (Monteiro, Veríssimo, Pessoa &
Costa, 2008) e o Escala de Estilos e Dimensões Parentais (Ferreira, Veríssimo, Santos et. al., 2008). Os resultados obtidos revelaram a inexistente relação significativa do envolvimento paterno face ao estilo “autoritário” e estilo “permissivo” paterno, mas a existência de uma relação significativa entre o envolvimento paterno e o estilo “autoritativo”. Verificou-se a inexistência de diferenças significativas entre sexo e entre o envolvimento paterno. No que toca aos estilos parentais, as diferenças em função do sexo são observadas apenas quando a prática é “autoritária”.
The present study focuses on the current importance that the paternal figure has in the education and care of their children. Thus, this study has as its main objective, the exploring of the relationship between paternal involvement and parenting styles with children at preschool age. The study also aims to compare paternal involvement among its parenting styles: “authoritative”, “authoritarian” and “permissive”. Another objective was to further understand the existence or not of gender differences in relation to both variables separately (Paternal Involvement and Parenting Styles). The study consists of 656 participants (328 mothers and 328 fathers). The children ages were between 31 and 78 months (M=56.21, DP=10.32). The paternal involvement was assessed with the Parental Involvement Scale: Participation in Activities of Care and Socialization (Monteiro, Veríssimo, Pessoa & Costa, 2008). As to the parenting styles, it was used Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (Ferreira, Veríssimo, Santos et. al., 2008). The results show the non-existent relationship of paternal involvement with the “authoritarian” style and “permissive” style, but an existence of a significant association between paternal involvement and “authoritative” style. The findings showed that there were no significant differences between gender and paternal involvement. Regarding the parenting styles, there were only significant differences between gender and the “authoritarian” style.
