Abstract(s)
A presente investigação tem como principal objetivo compreender a relação entre
a regulação emocional e a qualidade da amizade em adolescentes do género feminino e
masculino. A amostra é composta por 55 sujeitos com idades entre os 12 e os 15 anos,
que se encontram a frequentar o 3º ciclo de um agrupamento de escolas do distrito de
Setúbal. Relativamente aos instrumentos, utilizou-se o Friendship Quality Questionnaire
(FQQ) para avaliar a qualidade da amizade e a perceção que os sujeitos têm de aspetos
qualitativos das suas relações de amizade e o Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for
Children and Adolescents (ERQ-CA) para avaliar a capacidade de regulação emocional
recorrendo à utilização das estratégias supressão emocional e reavaliação cognitiva.
Os resultados evidenciam que não há diferenças entre rapazes e raparigas no que
refere à associação da regulação emocional com a qualidade da amizade. Verificou-se
uma associação positiva entre a reavaliação cognitiva, e a resolução de conflitos, e uma
associação negativa entre a supressão emocional, e respetivamente, a validação e cuidado,
a ajuda e orientação assim como a partilha de intimidade, particularmente no caso das
raparigas. A estratégia de supressão emocional tem um impacto significativo e negativo
sobre a qualidade da amizade, independentemente dos níveis de reavaliação cognitiva, e
no sexo feminino, este impacto é maior. Verificou-se, também, que a regulação emocional
não tem impacto na dimensão conflito e traição, embora os níveis desta dimensão sejam
mais elevados nas raparigas. Futuramente seria importante estudar as relações das
presentes variáveis com o isolamento social e a qualidade de vinculação parental.
ABSTRACT: The main objective of this research is to understand the relationship between emotional regulation and the quality of adolescent friendship in feminine and masculine genders. The sample consists of 55 subjects aged between 12 and 15 years, who are attending the 3rd cycle of a school group in the district of Setúbal. Regarding the instruments, the Friendship Quality Questionnaire (FQQ) was used to assess the quality of friendship and the perception that the subjects have of qualitative aspects of their friendship relationships and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (ERQ-CA) to assess the capacity for emotional regulation using the strategies of emotional suppression and cognitive reassessment. The results show that there are no differences between boys and girls regarding the association of emotion regulation with the quality of friendship. There was a positive association between cognitive reappraisal and conflict resolution, and a negative association between emotional suppression, and respectively, validation and care, help and guidance as well as the sharing of intimacy, particularly in the case of girls. The strategy of emotional suppression has a significant and negative impact on the quality of the friendship, regardless of the levels of cognitive reappraisal, and in females this impact is greater. It was also found that emotion regulation has no impact on the conflict and betrayal dimension, although levels of this dimension are higher in girls. In the future, it would be important to study the relations between the present variables with social isolation and the quality of parental attachment.
