Abstract(s)
A Síndrome de Peter Pan, classificada em 1983 pelo psicólogo norte-americano Dan Kiley, é caracterizada pela dificuldade de um adulto enfrentar a condição de desenvolvimento e maturidade comumente associada à idade adulta. As pessoas com esta síndrome são frequentemente reconhecidas como “eternas crianças”, como se não tivessem superado uma fase egocêntrica, narcísica e imatura característica da infância. Em termos globais, imaturidade, irresponsabilidade, narcisismo, dependência, rebeldia, procura de sensações e comportamentos de risco, são descritos como traços representativos desta síndrome (Kiley, 1983).
De acordo com a literatura científica, os comportamentos desviantes têm sido associados a diversos fatores de risco, nomeadamente de natureza biológica, psicológica, familiar e social (Thio, Taylor & Schwartz, 2018). No entanto, no âmbito dos fatores psicológicos, carecem estudos teóricos e empíricos que analisem a associação entre a Síndrome de Peter Pan e o comportamento desviante. A presente investigação tem como objetivo a análise da presença de características da Síndrome de Peter Pan em amostras de reclusos, por crimes sexuais contra menores (Estudo 1) e crimes associados ao consumo de drogas (Estudo 2). De acordo com os resultados, existe evidência de risco (ameaça real) ou presença da Síndrome de Peter Pan em cerca de 1/3 dos reclusos por crimes sexuais e em cerca de 2/3 dos reclusos por crimes associados ao consumo de drogas. A análise interpretativa sinaliza e sugere a Síndrome de Peter Pan como potencial fator de predisposição para o comportamento desviante e a prática de crimes, nomeadamente quando associados ao consumo de drogas.
Peter Pan Syndrome, classified in 1983 by US psychologist Dan Kiley, is characterized by the difficulty of an adult to cope with the developmental and maturity condition commonly associated with adulthood. People with this syndrome are often recognized as "eternal children," as if they had not overcome a self-centered, narcissistic, immature phase of childhood. Globally, immaturity, irresponsibility, narcissism, dependence, rebellion, sensation seeking and risky behavior are described as representative traits of this syndrome (Kiley, 1983). According to the scientific literature, deviant behaviors have been associated with several risk factors, namely biological, psychological, familial and social (Thio, Taylor & Schwartz, 2018). However, in the context of psychological factors, there is a lack of theoretical and empirical studies that analyze the association between Peter Pan Syndrome and deviant behavior. The present investigation aims to analyze the presence of Peter Pan Syndrome characteristics in prisoner samples for sexual offenses against minors (Study 1) and drug-related crimes (Study 2). According to the results, there is evidence of risk (real threat) or presence of Peter Pan Syndrome in about 1/3 of sex offenders and about 2/3 of drug offenders. Interpretative analysis signals and suggests Peter Pan Syndrome as a potential predisposing factor for deviant behavior and crime, particularly when associated with drug use.
