A relação entre a pressão económica e o conflito conjugal : o papel mediador do (des)ajustamento emocional dos adolescentes

Abstract

Considerando o modelo de stress familiar (Conger & Elder, 1994), o presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar o papel mediador do (des)ajustamento emocional dos adolescentes (problemas de internalização e problemas de externalização), na relação entre a pressão económica (ajustamentos financeiros, dificuldades em poupar dinheiro, dificuldades em pagar as contas, e preocupações financeiras) e o conflito conjugal, no contexto da crise económica que Portugal atravessa actualmente. Neste estudo, participaram 204 casais portugueses, casados ou em união de facto, com filhos de idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 21 anos. Foi aplicado um questionário sociodemográfico, o Youth Self-Report e o Child Behaviour Checklist (Achenbach, 2001), e a O’Leary Porter Scale (O’Leary & Porter, 1980). Os resultados mostraram que o desajustamento emocional dos adolescentes desempenha um papel mediador, na relação entre pressão económica e conflito conjugal. Contrariamente ao esperado, não foi encontrada uma relação directa entre pressão económica e conflito conjugal. Apresentam-se contribuições e limitações do estudo, bem como sugestões para investigações futuras.

Considering the family stress model (Conger & Elder, 1994), the present study aims to investigate the mediating role of adolescent’s emotional maladjustment (internalizing problems and externalizing problems), in the relationship between economic pressure (economic adjustments, troubles saving money, can’t make ends meet, and financial worries) and marital conflict, in the context of the economic crisis Portugal is currently going through. 204 Portuguese married or cohabiting couples with children between 12 and 21 years old, participated in this study. It was applied a Socio-Demographic Questionnaire, the Youth Self-Report and the Child Behaviour Checklist (Achenbach, 2001), and the O’Leary Porter Scale (O’Leary & Porter, 1980). The results demonstrated that adolescent’s emotional maladjustment plays a mediator role in the relationship between economic pressure and marital conflict. Contrary to expectations, the direct relationship between economic pressure and marital conflict was not found. Contributions and limitations of this study were discussed along with suggestions for future investigations.
