Resumo: The present paper discusses the results of a research that had as its main purpose to analyze the life projects of individuals belonging to different generations within the last decades, with special emphasis on the role played by establishing a family in such projects. Speeches of 20 individuals (10 men and 10 women) from two generations were analyzed. The study pointed out that the profound contemporary sociocultural changes have led to increasing individualism in the relationships, and consequently have altered the way people engage in building their life courses. Two things have been occurring simultaneously. On the one hand, life courses are being individualized and previous standards are being broken, a phenomenon linked to the reduction of gender asymmetries and to the questioning of the institutions. On the other hand, the family model based on marital stability is being repelled. Due to the instability of love relationships, children are gaining importance in the structuring of the idea of a Family

Foram analisados os discursos de 20 sujeitos de duas gerações, 10 homens e 10 mulheres. O estudo indicou que as intensas mudanças socioculturais contemporâneas levaram ao aprofundamento do individualismo nas relações e, consequentemente, à alteração nas formas de engajamento dos indivíduos na construção de suas trajetórias de vida. Vem ocorrendo, por um lado, a individualização e a despadronização das trajetórias de vida, associada à diminuição das assimetrias de gênero e ao questionamento de instituições; e, por outro lado, vem ocorrendo a desestruturação de um modelo de família baseado na estabilidade do casamento. Diante da instabilidade das relações amorosas, filhos passam a ter uma importância cada vez maior na estruturação da ideia de família  Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2013-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/8605Psychological Studies; Vol. 30 No. 2 (2013): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 30 Núm. 2 (2013): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 30 n. 2 (2013): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPenghttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/8605/6058Copyright (c) 2023 Carolina de Campos BORGES, Andrea Seixas MAGALHÃEShttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBORGES, Carolina de CamposMAGALHÃES, Andrea Seixas 2024-05-08T18:55:57Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/8605Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2024-05-08T18:55:57Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
