A avaliação das competências socioemocionais como um só construto e a sua relação com
qualidade da vinculação revela-se escassa na literatura atual. O presente estudo pretende averiguar a
associação entre a qualidade de vinculação e as competências socioemocionais, tendo sido
igualmente explorada a associação entre o género e a qualidade de vinculação e o género e as
competências socioemocionais. No total participaram 55 crianças, de idades compreendidas entre os
5 e os 6 anos, em que 25 eram raparigas. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Desenho Infantil da
Família (Kaplan e Main, 1986), e a Escala de Competência Social e de Avaliação do
Comportamento (La Frenière e Dumas,1996). Os resultados encontrados sugerem que as crianças
classificadas com vinculação segura tendem a desenvolver mais competências sociais do que as
classificadas com vinculação insegura. Verificou-se ainda que as raparigas parecem apresentar
vantagens ao nível do desenvolvimento da competência social, tendo apresentado valores superiores
aos dos rapazes. No que diz respeito à associação entre o género e a vinculação, os resultados
demonstram que não há diferenças significativas, ou seja, rapazes e raparigas apresentam a mesma
capacidade para desenvolverem relações de vinculação seguras ou inseguras. As competências
socioemocionais permitem uma maior adaptabilidade às relações sociais, nomeadamente na fase
pré-escolar – fase de intensas mudanças na vida da criança. Torna-se assim importante aprofundar
os conhecimentos destes constructos para uma maior compreensão do desenvolvimento saudável
das crianças.
ABSTRACT: Literature still scarce evaluating children socio-emotional competences as an only construct and his relationship with attachment quality. Therefore, the present study aims to verify the association between attachment's qualities and socio-emotional competences, having associations between gender and quality of the attachment and gender and socio-emotional skills been equally explored. In total 55 children participated, aged between 5 and 6 years old, from which 25 were girls. The instruments used were The Family Drawings (Kaplain & Main, 1986) and The Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation Scale (La Frenière & Dumas, 1996). Results suggested that children classified as having a secure attachment tend to develop more social skills than those classified as having an insecure attachment. Moreover, girls presented superior values comparatively to boys. Regarding association between gender and attachment, there were no significant differences. Socio-emotional competences allow a higher social relationships adaptability, namely in pre-scholar period – phase where happens significant changes in children’s life. Thus, it becomes fundamental to cultivate knowledge regarding this constructs for a wider comprehension of children’s health development.
