Previous issue date: 2013-01-16 / The presence of childhood maltreatment is related to worse cognitive functioning in adolescents. In addition, stressful events experienced during adolescence are also factors that influence negatively, cognitive functioning and academic performance. In order to investigate the association between maltreatment suffered in childhood, stressful events experienced during adolescence, executive functioning and school performance of teenagers, this dissertation had a correlational and cross-sectional design and consists of two empirical studies, presented in the form of articles. In both studies, participants were teenagers, students from seven public schools in Porto Alegre, aged between 12 and 18 years, identified from data collection performed by one of the projects developed by the Post Doctoral in Psychology Program at PUCRS. This program aims to investigate the effects of exposure to maltreatment on cognition and the expression of psychopathology in adolescence, adulthood and old age.The sample of this study included 83 adolescents who were divided into two groups: presence of childhood maltreatment (case group) and absence of childhood maltreatment (Control Group). Participants were assessed individually at their schools. For data collection, the following instruments were applied: Arithmetic Subtest digits of the WISC-III or WAIS-III, TMT, Hayling Test and verbal fluency (FAS), and Vocabulary subtests of the WISC-III or WAIS-III, Events Inventory Stressors in Adolescence, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Data Sheet Sociodemographic and Economic Classification Criterion Brazil. In the first study, the group was divided into two subgroups: participants who had the presence of only a single type of child maltreatment (sexual abuse, emotional, physical, emotional or physical neglect), and those who had the presence of multiple types of childhood maltreatment. In the second study, the groups were divided between students who have had a grade repetition at school, and those who had not. For the evaluation of academic performance, we used the grades of Portuguese, Mathematics, History and Geography of the previous year's report card. It was found that adolescents who experienced childhood maltreatment had worse performance in executive functions.Students who have repeated the school year had experienced more stressful events during adolescence, had poorer grades and worse executive performance, when compared to those who did not repeat the school year. In addition, the students who have grade repetition had experienced more stressful events in adolescence, had lower grades and had worse executive functioning, when compared to those who did not repeat a school year. Overall, these results point to a relationship between the experiences of childhood maltreatment and stressful events during adolescence and a poor executive functioning and academic performance related to / A presen?a de maus tratos na inf?ncia est? relacionada ao pior funcionamento cognitivo em adolescentes. Al?m disso, os eventos estressores vivenciados na adolesc?ncia s?o fatores que tamb?m influenciam, de forma prejudicial, o funcionamento cognitivo e o desempenho acad?mico. A fim que investigar se existe associa??o entre maus tratos sofridos na inf?ncia, eventos estressores experienciados na adolesc?ncia, funcionamento executivo e desempenho escolar de adolescentes, esta disserta??o teve um delineamento transversal correlacional e ? composta por dois estudos emp?ricos, apresentados na forma de artigos. Em ambos os estudos, os participantes foram adolescentes, estudantes de sete escolas p?blicas de Porto Alegre, com idades entre 12 e 18 anos, identificados a partir da coleta de dados realizada por um dos projetos do Programa Nacional de P?s Doutorado em Psicologia da PUCRS. Este programa tem por objetivo investigar os efeitos da exposi??o a maus tratos sobre a cogni??o e a express?o de psicopatologia na adolesc?ncia, na adultez e na velhice.Dentre os 613 adolescentes que participaram da pesquisa do PNPD, a amostra do presente estudo englobou 83 alunos que foram divididos em dois grupos: presen?a de maus tratos na inf?ncia (Grupo Caso) e aus?ncia de maus tratos na inf?ncia (Grupo Controle). Os participantes foram avaliados, individualmente, em suas escolas. Para coleta dos dados, foram aplicados o Subteste Aritm?tica e d?gitos da WISC-III ou do WAIS-III, TMT, Teste Hayling e tarefa de flu?ncia verbal (FAS), subtestes Cubos e Vocabul?rio da WISC-III ou do WAIS-III, Invent?rio de Eventos Estressores na Adolesc?ncia, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Ficha de Dados Sociodemogr?ficos e Crit?rio de Classifica??o Econ?mica Brasil. No primeiro estudo, o grupo caso foi divido em dois subgrupos, participantes que tiveram a presen?a de apenas um ?nico tipo de maus tratos na inf?ncia (abuso sexual, emocional, f?sico, neglig?ncia f?sica ou emocional), e os que tiveram a presen?a de m?ltiplos tipos de maus tratos na inf?ncia. J? no segundo estudo, os grupos foram divididos entre os alunos que tiveram uma repeti??o de ano na escola e os que n?o tiveram. Para a avalia??o do desempenho acad?mico, foram utilizadas as notas das mat?rias de Portugu?s, Matem?tica, Hist?ria e Geografia do boletim escolar do ano anterior.Verificou-se que os adolescentes que sofreram maus tratos na inf?ncia obtiveram pior desempenho nos componentes de flexibilidade cognitiva, velocidade de processamento visual, capacidade de inicia??o e velocidade de processamento verbal. Al?m disso, os alunos que repetiram de ano vivenciaram mais eventos estressores na adolesc?ncia, tiraram piores notas e tiveram um piorfuncionamento executivo, quando comparados com os que n?o repetiram de ano. De forma geral, esses resultados apontam para a rela??o entre a viv?ncia de maus tratos na inf?ncia e de eventos estressores na adolesc?ncia e um pior funcionamento executivo e desempenho escolar
