Abstract(s)
O objectivo deste estudo foi verifi car se a segurança das representações mentais da relação de vinculação
das crianças se correlaciona com um maior conhecimento das emoções, na idade do pré-escolar.
Participaram 176 crianças do distrito de Lisboa, com idades entre os 3 e 5 anos. Utilizou-se a escala
contínua de segurança do Attachment Story Completion Task e a adaptação portuguesa do Affect
Knowledge Test. Os resultados sugerem que as crianças com modelos internos seguros apresentam
um maior conhecimento das emoções, não havendo infl uência da capacidade verbal. Este estudo
sugere que crianças com modelos internos seguros experienciam relações mais calorosas com os seus
cuidadores, nas quais é possível partilharem e discutirem experiências emocionais de forma aberta e
suportada permitindo que estas apresentem um maior conhecimento emocional
ABSTRACT - The present study aims to clarify the relation between attachment representations and emotional knowledge in preschool children. One hundred seventy-six Portuguese children between 3 and 5 years old participated in the study. Quality of attachment representations was assessed using the Attachment Story Completion Task, and emotional knowledge was assessed by the Portuguese version of the Affect Knowledge Test. Our results suggest that children with secure internal working models show more emotional knowledge. No differences were found regarding verbal ability. These fi ndings suggest that children with secure internal working models experience warmer relationships with their caregivers, sharing and discussing emotional experiences in an open and supportive way, allowing them to experience greater emotional knowledge.
