Abstract(s)
O presente estudo tem como objetivo perceber quais as crenças da sociedade sobre a relação avós-netos. O material utilizado é, além de um questionário sociodemográfico para caracterização da amostra, uma escala de crenças sobre relações avós-netos construída e validada para o efeito. A amostra é composta por 494 sujeitos, sendo que 390 são do sexo feminino, e 104 do sexo masculino, tendo idades compreendidas entre 16 e os 76 anos de idade. O processo de validação da escala, resultou numa estrutura fatorial composta por quatro fatores, o primeiro referente à construção de vínculos, o segundo referente aos ganhos secundários pela presença ativa dos avós na família, o terceiro referente à função instrumental dos avós e o quarto é referente à função emocional dos avós. Com o intuito de perceber se há relação entre as variáveis em estudo, foram efetuadas correlações de Pearson, posteriormente foi realizado o teste t- student para amostras independentes para perceber se existem diferenças entre as variáveis. Observamos que existem diferenças significativas ao nível das crenças na relação avós-netos relativamente à zona de habitação e relações entre a disponibilidade horária e mental, bem como uma redução da função instrumental à medida que a idade aumenta, possivelmente devido à gradual inversão de papéis na qual os avós passam de prestadores de cuidado a alvo de cuidados.
The present study aims to understand the beliefs of society about the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren. The material used is, in addition to a sociodemographic questionnaire for the characterization of the sample, a belief scale on grand-grandchild relationships constructed and validated for this purpose. The sample is made up of 494 subjects, of which 390 are female, and 104 are male, ranging in age from 16 to 76 years of age. The scale validation process resulted in a factorial structure composed of four factors, the first one related to the construction of bonds, the second referring to the secondary gains by the active presence of the grandparents in the family, the third referring to the instrumental function of the grandparents and the fourth is concerning the emotional function of the grandparents. In order to understand if there is a relation between the variables under study, Pearson correlations were made, later the t-student test was performed for independent samples to see if there were differences between the variables. We observed that there are significant differences in the beliefs in the grandparent-grandchild relation regarding to the housing zone and the relationship between hourly and mental availability, as well as a reduction in instrumental function as age increases, possibly due to the gradual inversion of roles in which grandparents move from carers to being cared.
