Abstract(s)
Enquadramento: O divórcio parental é um acontecimento que pode afetar o funcionamento familiar, impactando todos os envolvidos. O divórcio dos pais pode ter consequências que perduram para além da infância, influenciando a vida adulta dos filhos ao nível das suas relações interpessoais, da experiência de emoções e da sua satisfação com a vida. Um dos domínios frequentemente afetado remete para as relações
conjugais estabelecidas em idade adulta, onde se observam dificuldades ao nível do compromisso e da satisfação com a relação. Objetivos: Verificar a relação entre as experiências adversas na infância (ACEs), a resiliência e relações de proximidade na vida adulta; comparar uma amostra de indivíduos que vivenciaram o divórcio litigioso dos pais com uma amostra de indivíduos que não o vivenciaram, no que diz respeito às
ACEs, à resiliência e à proximidade nas relações na vida adulta e verificar os preditores do evitamento com o companheiro, da ansiedade com o companheiro, do evitamento com o amigo e da ansiedade com o amigo. Método e Procedimentos: A amostra é composta por 353 participantes, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 85 anos (M = 43.01, DP = 12.78). Os dados foram recolhidos através de um protocolo de investigação online, que incluiu um questionário sociodemográfico, o instrumento de Experiências Adversas na Infância (ACEs), a Escala de Resiliência (ER), e o Questionário sobre Experiências em Relações de Proximidade (ERP). Resultados: Os participantes que vivenciaram o divórcio litigioso dos progenitores apresentaram mais ACEs, níveis mais elevados de evitamento e ansiedade nas relações de proximidade e níveis mais baixos de resiliência, mais especificamente, no que se refere ao sentido de vida. As análises de regressão linear múltipla indicaram que a negligência emocional na infância, vivenciar o divórcio litigioso dos progenitores e baixos níveis de serenidade e sentido de vida na idade adulta são preditores de um maior evitamento e ansiedade nas relações com o companheiro e com o amigo. Conclusão: Os resultados desta investigação reforçam que a vivência do divórcio litigioso dos progenitores traz implicações para a vida adulta, nomeadamente uma menor resiliência e dificuldades na construção de relações de proximidade, quer sejam estas conjugais ou de amizade.
Background: Parental divorce is an event that can affect family functioning, impacting everyone involved. Parental divorce can have consequences that last beyond childhood, influencing children's adult lives in terms of their interpersonal relationships, their experience of emotions, and their satisfaction with life. One of the areas frequently affected is marital relationships in adulthood, where difficulties are observed in terms of commitment and relationship satisfaction. Objectives: To verify the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), resilience and close relationships in adulthood; to compare a sample of individuals who had experienced their parents litigious divorce with a sample of individuals who had not, in terms of ACEs, resilience and closeness in relationships in adulthood; and to verify the predictors of avoidance towards a partner, anxiety towards a partner, avoidance towards a friend and anxiety towards a friend. Method and Procedures: The sample consisted of 353 participants, aged between 18 and 85 (M = 43.01, SD = 12.78). Data was collected through an online research protocol, which included a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) instrument, the Resilience Scale (RS), and the Experiences in Close Relationships Questionnaire (ERP). Results: Participants who experienced the litigious divorce of their parents showed more ACEs, higher levels of avoidance and anxiety in close relationships, and lower levels of resilience, regarding the meaning in life. Multiple linear regression analyses indicated that emotional neglect in childhood, experiencing litigious divorce from parents, and low levels of serenity and sense of life in adulthood are predictors of greater avoidance and anxiety in relationships with partners and friends. Conclusion: The results of this research reinforce that the experience of litigious parental divorce has implications for adult life, namely lower resilience and difficulties in building close relationships, whether marital or friendship.
