Abstract(s)
A vinculação constitui um laço emocional profundo e duradouro, configurando-se como um sistema inato que leva o indivíduo a procurar proximidade com figuras cuidadoras, assegurando a satisfação das necessidades básicas. A vinculação estabelecida na infância com os pais exerce um papel importante no desenvolvimento relacional. Cuidadores disponíveis e responsivos favorecem a consolidação de um estilo de vinculação seguro na idade adulta, associado a maior confiança, autoestima e competências sociais. Em contraste, pais negligentes favorecem estilos de vinculação inseguros, associados a relações interpessoais marcadas por medo da rejeição, dependência afetiva ou evitamento da intimidade. O presente estudo teve como objetivo estudar a associação entre a vinculação com os pais e a qualidade das relações interpessoais em jovens adultos. A amostra constituiu 100 estudantes universitários, maioritariamente do sexo feminino (80%), com média de idade de 20,39 anos (DP=1,524). Para a recolha de dados, utilizaram-se o Questionário de Vinculação ao Pai e à Mãe (Nunes et al., 2019) e a Escala de Vinculação do Adulto (Canavarro et al., 2006). Os resultados indicaram correlações estatisticamente significativas entre a vinculação estabelecida com os pais na infância e a qualidade das relações interpessoais na idade adulta, sugerindo que a qualidade da vinculação parental na infância, caraterizada por maior qualidade do laço emocional e menor inibição da exploração e da individualidade, associa-se a um estilo de vinculação seguro na idade adulta e, portanto, a uma maior qualidade das relações interpessoais, em comparação com estilos inseguros, especialmente o amedrontado e o desligado.
Attachment constitutes a deep and lasting emotional bond, functions as an innate system that leads individuals to seek closeness with caregivers, ensuring that their basic needs are met. The attachment established in childhood with parents plays an important role in relational development. Available and responsive caregivers favor the consolidation of a secure attachment style in adulthood, associated with greater confidence, self-esteem, and social skills. In contrast, negligent parents favor insecure attachment styles, associa-ted with interpersonal relationships marked by fear of rejection, emotional dependence, or avoidance of intimacy. The present study aimed to investigate the association betwe-en attachment to parents and the quality of interpersonal relationships in young adults. The sample consisted of 100 university students, mostly female (80%), with a mean age of 20.39 years (SD=1.524). Data were collected using the Father and Mother Atta-chment Questionnaire (Nunes et al., 2019) and the Adult Attachment Scale (Canavarro et al., 2006). The results indicated statistically significant correlations between the atta-chment established with parents in childhood and the quality of interpersonal relati-onships in adulthood, suggesting that the quality of parental attachment in childhood, characterized by higher quality emotional bonds and less inhibition of exploration and individuality, is associated with a secure attachment style in adulthood and, therefore, to higher quality interpersonal relationships, compared to insecure styles, especially fearful and dismissive.
