Resumo: | This study aimed to analyze the perception that university students have of the functioning of their families, to characterize their personal social network and to study the relations between these variables. The sample consisted of 247 university students, aged between 17 and 55, who completed the Flexibility and Family Cohesion Assessment Scale version IV and the Instrumento de Análise da Rede Social Pessoal. Regarding the results obtained, the students perceived their families as balanced. However, they were dissatisfied with their families. The participants who are with the family more often perceive their families as more enmeshed. The student’s social networks had an average of eight elements and are mainly composed by family and friends. The social networks were cohesive, with a high perception of reciprocity and support. The access to higher education did not generate changes in the size of the social network. There was also an association between network size and family cohesion and flexibility. This study contributes for the comprehension of the family role and social network in the individual, family and social development of students, highlighting the normative challenges. It also contributed to the reflection on possible intervention practices that may prove necessary at this stage. |

A amostra foi composta por 247 estudantes de Ensino Superior, com idades compreendidas entre os 17 e os 55 anos, que preencheram a Escala de Avaliação da Flexibilidade e da Coesão Familiar versão IV e o Instrumento de Análise da Rede Social Pessoal. Relativamente aos resultados obtidos, os estudantes percecionaram as suas famílias como equilibradas. Porém, revelaram-se pouco satisfeitos com as mesmas. Os participantes que estão com a família mais frequentemente demonstraram uma maior perceção de emaranhamento. As redes dos estudantes apresentaram um tamanho médio de oito elementos; eram constituídas por familiares e amigos; com elevada coesão e elevada perceção de reciprocidade e de suporte. O ingresso no Ensino Superior não gerou modificações no tamanho da rede dos estudantes. Verificou-se uma associação entre o tamanho da rede, a coesão e a flexibilidade na família. O estudo contribuiu para a compreensão do papel da família e da rede social na etapa de desenvolvimento individual, familiar e social dos estudantes, sublinhando os desafios normativos. Ainda contribuiu para a reflexão sobre possíveis práticas de intervenção que possam revelar-se necessárias nesta fase.Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra2022-09-19info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_65_2https://doi.org/10.14195/1647-8606_65_2Psychologica; Vol. 65 (2022); e065002Psychologica; Vol. 65 (2022); e0650021647-86060871-465710.14195/1647-8606_65reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/9530https://impactum-journals.uc.pt/psychologica/article/view/9530/8859Direitos de Autor (c) 2022 Mariana Couceiro, Joana Sequeira, Sónia Guadalupehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCouceiro, MarianaSequeira, JoanaGuadalupe, Sónia2023-05-31T13:59:52Zoai:impactum-journals.uc.pt:article/9530Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:59:00.567637Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
