Text in Afrikaans / The focus of this qualitative study was the perceptions of parents regarding their toddlers' regressive behaviour. For the purposes of this study the term perceptions relates to both the impressions in a persons' consciousness as well as the result thereof. The researcher compiled a conceptual framework from the existing literature and then carried out the empirical study. A focus group of four parents' whose toddler or toddlers showed regressive behavior at the time of the study was compiled. A focusgroup discussion was held where the parents described their perceptions of their toddlers' regressive behaviour. The focus group discussion was recorded both by video camera as well as a digital recorder with the consent of all focus group participants, after which it was transcribed. Recurring themes were identified from the transcribed data and verified with literature. Qualitative data were obtained that answered the research question. / Social work / M.Diac.

The increasing awareness about the important role that fathers play in their daughters’ lives, have lead to the undertaking of this study. The goal of this study was to determine whether there is a specific parenting style of fathers that will contribute to the achieving of a higher level of emotional intelligence in grade 2 daughters. Quantitative research with an exploratory and descriptive nature was used. Data were collected with the use of the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) as well as the Cilliers Emotional Intelligence Test. The sample consisted of 24 Grade 2 girls and their parents. The conclusion was that the relationship between parenting style dimensions and emotional intelligence was not showed through the parenting style or dimension mostly used, but through the parenting style dimension that was used the least. / Thesis (M.

To assess them, it is important to build and adapt valid and reliable instruments. The main objectives of this dissertation were to translate, adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Young Parenting Inventory (YPI) for the Brazilian context, as seek associations between the YPI and Familiogram Test (FG). In current study, YPI was adapted to Portuguese by backtranslation method. Content analyses were made by five judges. 920 high school and college students (543 females), whose ages were between 14 and 69 years (M = 21.3, SD = 6.1), filled out the research instruments. Data were collected in Natal, Petrolina and Brasilia cities and Porto Alegre metropolitan region. The results confirmed the existence of five factors. Final version of the YPI was composed by 49 items. Exploratory factorial analysis (principal components) were conducted using oblimin rotation. Five factors extracted explained 45.12% of the maternal scale variance and 47.59% of paternal scale. Each factor explained, at least, 3% of the variance and showed Eigenvalue over than 1.5. All items have factorial loadings values above 0.3. The confirmatory factorial analysis has showed fit statistics reasonably adequate: for maternal scale, &#61539; ? [1114] = 4636.38, p < 0.001, &#61539; ? / df = 4.16, with GFI = 0.83, AGFI = 0.81 and RMSEA = 0.06; for paternal scale, &#61539; ? [1114] = 5133.69 p < 0.001, &#61539; ? / df = 4.61, with GFI = 0.81, AGFI = 0.79 and RMSEA = 0,06. Thus, final instrument was composed by the following factors: (I) Disconnection and Rejection (&#61537; = 0.89 and 0.90), (II) Affectivity and Emotional Stability (&#61537; = 0.85 and 0.88); (III) Overvigilance and Other Directedness (&#61537; = 0.83 and 0.85), (IV) Overprotection and Impaired Autonomy (&#61537; = 0.78 and 0.79) and (V) Impaired Limits (&#61537; = 0.66 and 0.71). Finally, relations between the YPI and FG were assessed. Pearson's correlations between the YPI and FG showed moderated associations, particularly between the factors Affectivity (YPI) and Affection (FG) (r = 0.69 and 0.7 for maternal and paternal scale, respectively); and the factors Disconnection and Rejection (YPI) and Conflict (FG) (r = 0.59 and 0.58). The regression models indicated that over than 40% of variance of factors of FG can be predicted by factors of YPI. Beta coefficients for Affection-Affectivity relation were 0.67 (maternal scale) and 0.53 (paternal scale); for Disconnection-Conflict relation were 0.31 (maternal scale) and 0.44 (paternal scale). We conclude the YPI has adequate psychometric parameters and can be used in future research in this area. However, adjustments in the structure of the YPI were made. Moreover, it is suggested further studies to consider other samples and variables, increasing the knowing of parenting styles and the Young&#8223;s theory in the Brazilian context / Os estilos parentais referem-se ?s caracter?sticas globais de intera??es entre pais e filhos. Para sua avalia??o, ? importante que instrumentos v?lidos e fidedignos sejam constru?dos e adaptados. Dentro desta perspectiva, a presente disserta??o teve como objetivo traduzir, adaptar e estudar as propriedades psicom?tricas do Invent?rio de Estilos Parentais de Young (YPI) para o contexto brasileiro. Buscou-se avaliar tamb?m as associa??es entre o YPI e o Teste Familiograma (FG). Nessa pesquisa, o YPI foi adaptado ao portugu?s atrav?s do m?todo de tradu??o reversa (Backtranslation). As an?lises de conte?do foram realizadas por cinco ju?zes. Para realiza??o das an?lises emp?ricas do YPI, contou-se com a participa??o de 920 estudantes do Ensino M?dio e Superior, com idades entre 14 e 69 anos (M = 21,3; DP = 6,1), sendo 543 do sexo feminino (59%). Eles responderam ao YPI, FG e question?rio s?cio-demogr?fico. Os dados foram coletados nas cidades de Natal, Petrolina, Bras?lia e na regi?o metropolitana de Porto Alegre. Os resultados obtidos confirmaram a exist?ncia de cinco fatores. A vers?o final do YPI foi composta de 49 itens. An?lises fatoriais explorat?rias (Componentes Principais) foram conduzidas, utilizando a rota??o oblimin. Os cinco fatores extra?dos explicaram 45,12% da vari?ncia da escala materna e 47,59% da escala paterna. Cada fator explicou, no m?nimo, 3% da vari?ncia e apresentou Eigenvalue superior a 1,5. Todos os itens apresentaram cargas fatoriais acima de 0,3. As an?lises fatoriais confirmat?rias apresentaram ?ndices de ajuste razoavelmente adequados: para a escala materna, &#61539;? [1114] = 4636,38 p < 0,001, &#61539;?/gl = 4,16, com GFI=0,83, AGFI=0,81 e RMSEA=0,06; para a escala paterna, &#61539;? [1114] =5133,69 p < 0,001, &#61539;?/gl = 4,61, com GFI=0,81, AGFI=0,79 e RMSEA=0,06. Assim, a vers?o final do instrumento foi composta pelos seguintes fatores: (I) Desconex?o e Rejei??o (&#61537;=0,89 e 0,90); (II) Afetividade e Estabilidade Emocional (&#61537;=0,85 e 0,88); (III) Hipervigil?ncia e Orienta??o para o Outro (&#61537;=0,83 e 0,85); (IV) Superprote??o e Autonomia Prejudicada (&#61537;=0,78 e 0,79); e (V) Limites Prejudicados (&#61537;=0,66 e 0,71). Finalmente, as rela??es entre o YPI e o FG foram avaliadas. As correla??es de Pearson entre o YPI e o FG indicaram associa??es moderadas, principalmente, entre os Fatores Afetividade, do YPI e Afeto, do FG (r=0,69 e 0,7, para as escala materna e paterna, respectivamente); bem como entre os Fatores Desconex?o e Rejei??o, do YPI e Conflito, do FG (r=0,59 e 0,58). Os modelos explicativos, das an?lises de regress?o, indicaram que mais de 40% da vari?ncia dos fatores do FG podem ser preditos por fatores do YPI. Os coeficientes Beta para a rela??o Afetividade-Afeto foram de 0,67 (escala materna) e 0,53 (escala paterna); para a rela??o Desconex?o-Conflito foram de 0,31 (escala materna) e 0,44 (escala paterna). Conclui-se que o YPI apresenta par?metros psicom?tricos adequados, podendo ser utilizado em pesquisas futuras nesta ?rea. N?o obstante, ajustes na estrutura do YPI foram realizados. Ademais, sugere-se a realiza??o de novos estudos que considerem tamb?m outras amostras e vari?veis, ampliando a compreens?o dos estilos parentais e da teoria de Young no contexto brasileiro

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / A presente dissertaÃÃo teve por objetivo analisar em que medida os estilos de socializaÃÃo parental e das prioridades valorativas dos filhos influenciam o comportamento de mentir nas crianÃas. Ademais, especificamente, este estudo visou observar a ocorrÃncia dos dois principais tipos de mentira na infÃncia (antissocial e prÃ-social); verificar a congruÃncia entre os valores dos filhos e aqueles percebidos em seus pais/responsÃveis; identificar a relaÃÃo entre estilos parentais e os valores dos pais; analisar os estilos parentais que mais se relacionam com o comportamento de mentir; e finalmente, identificar os valores que melhor predizem o comportamento de contar mentiras antissociais e prÃ-sociais em crianÃas. Para tanto, desenvolveram-se em dois estudos independentes sobre os principais tipos de mentiras verificados na infÃncia. O Estudo I, o qual teve por objetivo observar a ocorrÃncia de mentiras antissociais em crianÃas, alÃm de analisar em que medida os estilos de socializaÃÃo parental e as prioridades valorativas dos filhos exercem influÃncia sobre esse comportamento, empregou o Paradigma de ResistÃncia à TentaÃÃo; especificamente, contou-se com uma amostra nÃo probabilÃstica de 56 crianÃas entre 6 e 12 anos (m=9,68; dp=1,88), a maioria do gÃnero feminino (58,9%), protestante (55,4%), declarando como principal responsÃvel a mÃe (71,4%). O Estudo II objetivou observar a ocorrÃncia de mentiras prÃ-sociais em crianÃas, e analisar em que medida os estilos de socializaÃÃo parental e as prioridades valorativas dos filhos exercem influÃncia sobre esse comportamento e se utilizou o Paradigma do Presente Indesejado; contou com uma amostra, diferente daquela utilizada no Estudo I, nÃo probabilÃstica de 63 participantes, com idades entre 6 e 12 anos (m=9,06; dp=1,89), a maioria do gÃnero feminino (61,9%), protestante (42,4%), declarando como principal responsÃvel a mÃe (77,8%). Em ambos os estudos, as crianÃas responderam a uma versÃo do InventÃrio de Estilos Parentais (IEP) e a duas versÃes do QuestionÃrio de Valores BÃsicos â Infantil (QVB-I). As anÃlises de dados foram efetuadas por meio do SPSS 20; foram realizadas estatÃsticas descritivas, correlaÃÃes intra-diÃticas e correlaÃÃes &#961; de Spearman, testes t de Student e anÃlises de regressÃo logÃstica. Os resultados dos dois estudos indicaram que os valores das crianÃas sÃo congruentes com aqueles percebidos em seus pais; nÃo houve diferenÃas significativas no tocante aos estilos parentais de pais de crianÃas que mentiram e nÃo mentiram, e ainda, que os estilos parentais e valores humanos nÃo predizem a probabilidade de contar mentiras antissociais e prÃ-sociais. NÃo obstante algumas limitaÃÃes, ressalta-se que os objetivos foram alcanÃados e que a consecuÃÃo desse estudo forneceu dados significativos acerca do estudo do comportamento de mentir em contexto brasileiro; ademais, propÃem-se estudos futuros que contribuam para a ampliaÃÃo de pesquisas em contexto brasileiro sobre esta temÃtica, inclusive com o emprego de paradigmas experimentais que sÃo comumente desenvolvidos e empregados em outros paÃses.

<p>Parents are important in the socialization of children to develop into adjusted adults. Parenting is a developmental process and encourages the child to become an independent adult in society, an adult who is pro-social rather than anti-social. The main aim of parenting is to control the behaviour of the child, but as the child matures the approach is more of monitoring and supervision rather than control. The aim of this study is to establish the prevalence of parental psychological control during the phase of emerging adulthood and this will be associated with the anti-social behaviour of emerging adults. A quantitative methodological approach was used to conduct the study. A sample of 382 participants aged 18 to 25 years were randomly stratified across the departments in the Faculty of Community and Health Sciences (CHS). The Parental Psychological Control (Barber, 1996) and the Anti-Social Behaviour (Achenbach and Edelbrock, 1987) questionnaires were used to collect the data. The data were analysed by means of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results show a significant positive relationship between perceived psychologically controlling parenting and antisocial behaviour of emerging adults. Furthermore, antisocial behaviour is also positively predicted by both mother and father psychological control, with mothers being significantly more psychologically controlling than fathers. When comparing males and females, males engaged significantly more in antisocial activities than females / males also found fathers to be more psychologically controlling. Implications for further research are suggested.</p>

The main purpose of the present study was to explore the relationships between vertical and horizontal individualism-collectivism, religiosity and parenting styles from perspective of parents and their children. It was also aimed to examine SES related differences and the differences between mothers, fathers, and their children in terms of the study variables. In addition, the differences between authoritative, authoritarian, indulgent, and neglectful families in terms of vertical individualism (VI), horizontal individualism (HI), vertical collectivism (VC), horizontal collectivism (HC), and religiosity were investigated. For these purposes data were collected from 230 families including mother, father, and their young adult child &ndash / in the age range of 17-25-. Three participants from each family responded to similar measurement of the study variables, namely Vertical and Horizontal Individualism-Collectivism Scale, the Measurement of the Child Rearing Styles Scale, Religiosity Scale, and Demographic Information Form. According to the results, age, family income, VI, and VC for mothers and age, VI, and religiosity for fathers were significant predictors of parental control whereas education level, HI, HC, and VC for mothers and only VC for fathers were significant predictors of parental acceptance. The regression analyses for the child sample of the study indicated that the predictors of VI are education level and perceived parental control / the predictor of HC is perceived parental acceptance / the predictors of VC are perceived parental control and acceptance / the predictor of HI is gender / and the predictors of religiosity are family income and perceived parental control. Results also showed that there were significant differences as well as similarities between all considered groups. The findings of the study were discussed in the light of the related literature.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Camila Vaz Abeche.pdf: 1568643 bytes, checksum: 7c69ae241aeb6cb4940c29f00f7a5949 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-04-27 / There is a consensus in the literature that the experience of sexual abuse in childhood leads to a series of consequences, both physical and psychological, to the victims. The scenario of violence against children and adolescents is increasing in contemporary society, becoming a public health problem, so the need for a closer look of professional and public policy development for both the prevention of such cases to the treatment of their problems arising. In children, there is an association of increased behavioral and psychological problems which may extend the period until adulthood. Other studies emphasize changes in brain areas and relate to the emergence of mental disorders in the population of child victims of sexual violence, among other types of violence. The aim of this study was to verify the presence of personality traits, developed parenting styles and cognitive performance, specifically executive functions in children with a history of sexual abuse. We evaluated 62 children and adolescents (32 with a history of sexual abuse and 30 without), and the average age abuse group of members is 11.7 years old and their mostly divorced parents, unlike the control group, in which the parents are mostly married. The method consisted of sociodemographic questionnaire, neuropsychological tests assessing executive functions (Wisconsin Card Sortint Test, figures Ray and WISC III - Similarities, Picture Arrangement, Understanding, cubes, digits and Vocabulary), Personality Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (EPQ-J) and Parental Styles Inventory (IEP). There were no significant results between abuse and executive functions, both in the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - Third Edition (WISC-III) subtests and in Wisconsin; but the group showed significantly lower data in the memory of Complex Figure Rey. Regarding the EPQ-J, the results showed higher levels of neuroticism, which can be associated with symptoms of depression, and had lower rates in extroversion, bringing potential difficulties in social relations. Regarding parenting styles, the group presented difficulties and losses in the perceptions of parents, especially in relation to the parent, which is the biggest abuser statistically. The data showed a correlation between neuroticism and vocabulary, parenting styles and vocabulary, and neuroticism and parenting styles. The importance of further studies with the male audience was observed, so that they can be elucidated more comprehensively the issues of sexual abuse and their interference in the neuropsychological aspects, Parenting Styles and Personality Traits, since most of the studies is related the female audience. The development of public policies for the specific care of the male audience is necessary that suffer abuse, and that the health professional is prepared to help, strengthening the psychological and emotional aspects / Há um consenso na literatura de que a vivência do abuso sexual na infância ocasiona uma série de consequências, tanto físicas quanto psicológicas, às vítimas. O cenário de violência contra crianças e adolescentes está cada vez mais frequente na sociedade contemporânea, tornando-se um problema de saúde pública, de modo a ser necessário um olhar mais atento dos profissionais e elaboração de políticas públicas tanto para a prevenção dos casos como para o tratamento dos problemas deles decorrentes. Nas crianças, há uma associação do aumento de problemas comportamentais e psicológicos, que podem se estender até o período da idade adulta. Outros estudos enfatizam alterações em áreas cerebrais e as relacionam com o surgimento de transtornos mentais na população de crianças vítimas de violência sexual, dentre outros tipos de violência. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a presença de traços de personalidade, os estilos parentais desenvolvidos e o desempenho cognitivo, especificamente as funções executivas, em meninos com histórico de abuso sexual. Foram avaliadas 62 crianças e adolescentes (32 com histórico de abuso sexual e 30 sem), sendo que no grupo de abuso a idade média dos integrantes é de 11,7 anos de idade e seus genitores majoritariamente divorciados, diferentemente do grupo controle, no qual os genitores são, na maior parte, casados. O método constou de questionário sociodemográfico, testes neuropsicológicos que avaliam as funções executivas (Wisconsin Card Sortint Test, Figuras de Ray e Escala de Inteligência Wechsler para Crianças - Terceira Edição (WISC-III)- Semelhanças, Arranjo de Figuras, Compreensão, Cubos, Dígitos e Vocabulário), Questionário de Personalidade para Crianças e Adolescentes (EPQ-J) e Inventário de Estilos Parentais (IEP). Não houve resultados significativos entre o abuso e as funções executivas, tanto nos subtestes dos Escala de Inteligência Wechsler para Crianças - Terceira Edição (WISC-III) quanto no do Wisconsin; porém o grupo apresentou dados significativamente menores na memória do Figuras Complexas de Rey. Com relação ao EPQ-J, os resultados demonstraram maiores índices de neuroticismo, os quais podem ser associados com sintomas de depressão, e apresentaram menores índices em extroversão, trazendo possíveis dificuldades nas relações sociais. Com relação aos estilos parentais, o grupo apresentou dificuldades e prejuízos nas percepções sobre os genitores, especialmente com relação ao genitor, que é o maior abusador estatisticamente. Os dados mostraram uma correlação entre neuroticismo e vocabulário, estilos parentais e vocabulário, e neuroticismo e estilos parentais. Observou-se a importância de maiores estudos com o público masculino, para que possam ser elucidadas, de forma mais abrangente, as questões de abuso sexual e suas interferências nos aspectos neuropsicológicos, estilos parentais e traços de personalidade, visto que a maior parte dos estudos é relacionada ao público feminino. É necessário o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas para o atendimento específico do público masculino que sofre abuso, e que o profissional da saúde esteja preparado para ajudar, fortalecendo os aspectos psíquicos e emocionais.

A revisão da literatura mostrou que há uma carência de estudos específicos para a avaliação do abuso emocional e de suas repercussões especialmente no Brasil. Esta dissertação consistiu em dois estudos: o primeiro foi uma revisão da literatura sobre as relações entre abuso emocional, autoestima, bem-estar subjetivo e estilos parentais percebidos. O segundo, teve como objetivo analisar as relações entre a memória de abuso emocional, autoestima, bem-estar subjetivo e verificar diferenças na incidência de memória de abuso emocional nos diferentes estilos parentais percebidos. Participaram 305 universitários (64,7% mulheres), de 17 a 62 anos (M= 21,6) de Porto Alegre. Os sujeitos responderam questionários para investigar: dados sócio-demograficos, abuso emocional, autoestima, afeto positivo e negativo, satisfação de vida e estilos parentais. Foram encontradas correlações negativas entre abuso emocional, autoestima e afeto positivo e satisfação de vida e correlações positivas entre abuso emocional, idade e afeto negativo. Os resultados também mostraram diferenças significativas entre as médias de memória de abuso emocional, autoestima e bem-estar subjetivo entre os diferentes estilos parentais. Os resultados do segundo estudo sugerem que os estilos parentais autoritário e negligente são prejudiciais ao desenvolvimento da autoestima, do bem-estar subjetivo e estão relacionados com memórias de abuso emocional. / The revision of literature showed a lack of specific instruments for the assessment of emotional abuse especially in Brazil. The present study consisted of two studies: the first one, a theoretical research about the relations between emotional abuse, self-esteem, subjective well-being and perceived parenting styles. The second study aimed to examine empirically the links between the memory of emotional abuse and self-esteem, subjective well-being and to verify the differences in the incidence of the memory of emotional abuse in the different perceived parenting styles. The participants consisted of 305 university students (64.7% women and 35.3% men), ranging from 17 to 62 years of age (M=21.6 years; SD=5.4), of Porto Alegre, Brazil. Subjects answered self-report questionnaires comprising demographics, emotional abuse in childhood, self-esteem, subjective well-being, and parenting styles. Negative correlations were found between emotional abuse and self-esteem, positive affect and life satisfaction. Positive correlations were found between emotional abuse, age and negative affect. Significant differences were found between the means of the memories of emotional abuse, self-esteem and subjective well-being between the different the parenting styles. The results shown in the second study suggest that the authoritarian and negligent parenting styles are harmful to the development of self-esteem, subjective well-being and are related with memories of emotional abuse.
