A evidência empírica revela que o conflito interparental impacta nas relações amorosas
dos jovens adultos, ao nível da vinculação romântica, da qualidade da relação, bem como
na adoção de estratégias de coping diádico positivas. Contudo, a literatura continua com
poucos estudos que analisem em conjunto o impacto destas variáveis no casal. O presente
estudo teve como objetivo analisar o papel do conflito interparental nas vinculações
românticas, na qualidade da relação amorosa e na adoção de estratégias de coping diádico
positivos em casais jovens adultos, no contexto português. Neste estudo, participaram 89
casais heterossexuais com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 30 anos, maioria
solteiros e sem filhos. Os resultados demonstraram que não existem diferenças
significativas entre os homens e as mulheres de cada casal relativamente à intensidade
experienciada no conflito interparental, contudo, verificam-se diferenças significativas na
culpa percecionada e nas estratégias de eficácia que são adotadas face ao conflito
interparental, sendo as mulheres as que se sentem mais culpabilizadas e as que adotam
mais estratégias de eficácia. As vinculações seguras não mediaram a relação entre os
conflitos interparentais e a qualidade da relação, mas a vinculação segura relacionou-se
positiva e significativamente com a qualidade das relações amorosas no casal. E as
estratégias de coping diádico positivo e a vinculação segura são fatores protetores da
qualidade da relação amorosa, enquanto a culpa representa um fator de risco. Os
resultados são discutidos à luz da teoria, enquanto são apontadas algumas limitações,
feitas algumas propostas para estudos futuros e apresentadas implicações clínicas.
ABSTRACT: Empirical evidence reveals that interparental conflict impacts in the romantic relationships of young adults, in terms of romantic attachment, relationship quality and the adoption of positive dyadic coping strategies. However, there are still few research studies, that jointly analyse the impact of these variables on the couple. The of the present study aimed to analyse in the Portuguese context, the role of interparental conflict within romantic bonds, in the quality of the romantic relationship and in the adoption of positive dyadic coping strategies in young adult couples. In this study, 89 heterosexual couples with ages ranged between 18 and 30 participated, most of them as single and without children. The results demonstrated that there are not significant differences between men and women in each couple, regarding the intensity experienced in interparental conflict, however, there are significant differences in how guilty is perceived and in the effectiveness strategies adopted to deal with interparental conflict, in which women are the ones who feel the guiltiest and also the ones who adopt the most of effectiveness strategies. The secure attachment didn’t mediate the relationship between interparental conflict and the relationship quality, but the secure attachment was positively and significantly related to the quality of the couple's romantic relationships. Then, the positive dyadic coping strategies and a secure attachment are protective factors for the quality of the romantic relationship, while guilt represents a risk factor. The results are discussed considering the theory, while some limitations are pointed out, some proposals for future studies and present the clinical implications.
