Abstract(s)
A adolescência é a fase do desenvolvimento onde, para além das inúmeras alterações físicas,
múltiplas e complexas mudanças sociais acontecem. Uma das principais mudanças sociais no
adolescente está relacionada com a importância que as amizades vão assumindo, e como tal, é
essencial que as mesmas se desenvolvam com qualidade. A teoria da Vinculação é uma teoria
já utilizada para explicar a forma como o adolescente se desenvolve e lida com estas alterações sociais que ocorrem, e como tal, no presente estudo, com base nesta mesma teoria, pretendeu perceber-se de que forma a qualidade da vinculação aos pais pode influenciar a capacidade do adolescente de desenvolver amizades de qualidade. Para além deste aspeto, outro
fator importante que pode afetar o adolescente é a solidão. É frequente o desenvolvimento de
sentimentos de solidão na adolescência, e por essa razão este estudo pretendeu ainda perceber
como a qualidade da vinculação aos pais, e também a qualidade das amizades poderá estar
relacionada com o surgimento deste tipo de sentimentos.
Através dos resultados obtidos por uma amostra de 102 adolescentes, pôde verificar-se que
efetivamente existem correlações entre a qualidade da vinculação aos pais e a qualidade das
amizades do adolescente. Verificou-se ainda que ambas as variáveis se correlacionam com a
terceira variável, a solidão, levando a concluir que melhor qualidade quer na vinculação aos
pais como nas amizades se encontra relacionada a sentimentos de solidão reduzidos
Adolescence is the stage of development where, in addition to numerous physical changes, multiple and complex social changes take place. One of the main social changes in adolescents is related to the importance that friendships assume, and as such, it is essential that these friendships develop with quality. Attachment Theory is a theory used to explain how adolescents develop and deal with these social changes that occur, and as such, in this study, based on this same theory, it was intended to understand how the quality of attachment to parents can influence the adolescent's ability to develop quality friendships. In addition to this aspect, another important factor that can affect adolescents is loneliness. The development of feelings of loneliness in adolescence is frequent, and for this reason this study also intended to understand how the quality of attachment to parents, and also the quality of friendships, may be related to the emergence of this type of feelings. Our results obtained with a sample of 102 adolescents, revelead correlations between the quality of the attachment to the parents and the quality of the adolescent's friendships. It was also found that both variables were correlated with loneliness, leading to the conclusion that better quality both in attachment to parents and in friendships is related to reduced feelings of loneliness.
