Abstract(s)
Desde há muito tempo que a literatura investiga a temática da infidelidade (Prado, 2016). Este estudo pretende relacionar os filhos terem, ou não, conhecimento da infidelidade da mãe ou do pai, com a sua perceção sobre coesão familiar, atitudes acerca da infidelidade, ética relacional e intimidade. A amostra contabiliza 338 jovens-adultos, com idades entre os 18 e os 35 anos.
Os instrumentos utilizados foram: Escala de Coesão, versão Portuguesa de Gomes, H. Peixoto, F., e Gouveia-Pereira, M. (2017); Escala de Atitudes de Infidelidade (Afonso, 2011); Questionário Multidimensional de Comportamentos Extra-relacionais (Viegas & Moreira, 2015); Relational Ethics Scale (Hargrave, Jennings & Anderson,1991); e Escala de Avaliação da Intimidade na Relação, versão Portuguesa de Moreira e Canavarro (2007).
Os resultados demonstram que os filhos tendem a ter atitudes mais negativas quando o pai foi infiel. Mostram, igualmente, que não há diferenças entre homens e mulheres, terem sido infiéis, ou não, quanto às suas atitudes face à infidelidade. Filhos de pai infiel tendem a ter uma Ética Vertical de Justiça e de Direito mais baixa. Filhos de mãe infiel, tendem a ter uma Ética Vertical de Justiça, de Direito e Ética Horizontal de Justiça mais baixa. Quanto à Coesão Familiar, apresenta correlação positiva entre a infidelidade do pai e a coesão desagregada. Contudo, a coesão aglutinada tem maior impacto nas atitudes acerca da infidelidade dos filhos. Quanto à intimidade não difere entre os dois grupos. Assim, espera-se que novas investigações continuem a abordar a temática, reunindo as perceções de filhos, mães e pais.
For a long time literature has investigated the theme of infidelity (Prado, 2016). This study aims to relate the young-adults who had or not knowledge of the fidelity of the mother or the father, with a perception about family cohesion, attitudes about fidelity, relational ethics and intimacy. A sample of 338 young-adults, aged 18 to 35 years. The instruments used were: Cohesion Scale, Portuguese Version of Gomes, H. Peixoto, F., and Gouveia-Pereira, M. (2017); Infidelity Attitudes Scale (Afonso, 2011); Multidimensional Questionnaire of Extra-Related Behaviors (Viegas & Moreira, 2015); Relational Ethics Scale (Hargrave, Jennings & Anderson, 1991); and Relationship Intimacy Rating Scale, Portuguese Version by Moreira and Canavarro (2007). The results demonstrated that the children adopted more negative attitudes when the father was unfaithful. Equally shown that there are no differences between men and women, they were infected or not as to their attitudes towards infidelity. When the father was unfaithful young-adults tend to have a lower Vertical Ethics of Justice and Entiltle. When the mother was unfaithful young-adults tend to have a lower Vertical Ethics of Justice, Entiltle and Horizontal Ethics of Justice. As for Family Cohesion, it presents a positive correlation between father's infidelity and disengaged cohesion. However, enmeshed cohesion has a greater impact on attitudes about young-adults infidelity. As for intimacy does not differ between the two groups. Thus, it is expected that further investigations will continue addressing the theme, gathering as perceptions of children, mothers and fathers.
