Competência social em contexto de carreira e autoconceito

Abstract

A competência social é um construto multidimensional que abrange um conjunto de comportamentos aprendidos, socialmente aceites e que, deste modo, desempenha um papel fundamental no desenvolvimento humano em geral e, em particular, no funcionamento escolar e profissional, afetando as relações com os professores e pares e o sucesso académico e profissional (Lemos & Menezes, 2002). Por sua vez, o autoconceito, também descrito na literatura como um construto multidimensional que engloba um sistema de representações descritivas e avaliativas acerca do desempenho do self nos diferentes contextos e tarefas em que o sujeito se envolve, diz respeito à imagem que o sujeito tem de si próprio e aquilo que acredita ser (Veiga, 2006). A carreira é um exemplo de um processo sócio relacional (Blustein, 2011). Exige a capacidade do indivíduo para avaliar os conhecimentos de si e do meio, bem como para selecionar e implementar recursos sociais adequados para lidar com tarefas de carreira e desafios específicos. Tendo em consideração a falta de estudos teóricos e empíricos sobre a compreensão das competências sociais e do autoconceito no âmbito da carreira dos jovens adolescentes, este estudo tem como objetivo principal caracterizar as competências sociais em contexto de carreira e o autoconceito em alunos do 8º ano, bem como, analisar possíveis diferenças nos resultados em função de variáveis sociodemográficas. Além disso, pretende-se, ainda, analisar a influência do autoconceito nas competências sociais em contexto de carreira e vice-versa. Para o efeito, participaram neste estudo 306 estudantes de ambos os sexos, 163 raparigas (53,3%) e 143 rapazes (46,7%), com idades compreendidas entre 12 e 16 anos (M=13,28; DP=0,590). Estes jovens encontram-se a frequentar o 8º ano de escolaridade, em três estabelecimentos de ensino público da zona norte do país. Foram administrados dois questionários de auto relato, a Prova de Avaliação de Competência Social em contexto de Carreira (PACS-Car, Candeias, 2005 adaptada por Araújo & Taveira, 2009) para avaliar as competências sociais de carreira e, o Piers-Harris Children’s Self Concept Scale-2 (PHCSCS-2 – Piers & Herzberg, 2002, adaptado por Veiga, 2006), para avaliar o autoconceito. Os resultados indicam que os rapazes apresentam níveis mais elevados de desempenho pobre, ansiedade e popularidade, quando comparados com as raparigas e que os alunos mais novos apresentam níveis de desempenho excelente, aspeto comportamental e ansiedade superiores aos adolescentes mais velhos. Verificou-se, ainda, que as competências sociais em contexto de carreira parecem influenciar positivamente o autoconceito e vice-versa. São retiradas implicações para o processo de intervenção na carreira com jovens.

Social competence is a multidimensional construct that encompasses a set of learned behaviors, socially accepted and thus plays a key role in human development in general, and in particular in the educational and vocational functioning, affecting relationships with teachers and pairs and professional and academic success (Lemos & Menezes, 2002). In turn, the self-concept, also described in the literature as a multidimensional construct that encompasses a system of descriptive and evaluative representations about the performance of self in different contexts and tasks that the subject is involved, it relates to the image that the subject has of himself and what he believes to be (Veiga, 2006). A career is an example of a relational social process (Blustein, 2011). Requires an individual’s ability to evaluate the knowledge of himself and of the environment, and to select and implement appropriate social resources to deal with career tasks and challenges. Given the lack of theoretical and empirical studies on the understanding of social skills and self-concept in the career of young adolescents, this study’s main objective is to characterize the social skills in the context of career and self-concept in students of 8th grade, such as to analyze possible differences in results according to socio-demographic variables. In addition, we also intend to analyze the influence of self-concept in social skills in the context of career and vice versa. In this study, participated 306 students of both genders, 163 girls (53.3%) and 143 boys (46.7%), aged between 12 and 16 years (M=13.28, SD=0.590). These young students are attending the 8td grade in three public schools localized in the north of the country. There were given two questionnaires by self-report, Proof of Social Competency in career context (PACS-Car, Candeias, 2005 adapted by Araújo & Taveira, 2009) to evaluate the social skills of career and the Piers-Harris Children’s Self Concept Scale-2 (PHCSCS-2 – Piers & Herzberg 2002, adapted by Veiga, 2006), to evaluate the self-concept. The popularity results indicate that boys have higher levels of poor performance, anxiety and popularity when compared with girls, and that younger students have excellent performance levels, behavioral aspect and anxiety are superior then older adolescents. It was also verified that the social skills in career context seem to positively influence the self-concept and vice versa. Implications to the process of intervention in young people’s career are removed.
