Resumo: In the present study, the relationship between friendship quality and adolescents’ self-perceptions, expressed through their self-concept, in the school context was investigated. The sample consisted of 65 Portuguese students aged 12-16 years (Mean = 14). The Portuguese versions of the Friendship Quality Questionnaire and the Portuguese version of the Self-perception Profile of the Adolescent Self-Concept Scale were used. Correlational analyses were carried out and showed an association between friendship quality and adolescents’ self-concept. The dimension companionship and recreation was predictive of global self-concept. There was no effect of gender on the friendship quality reported. On the other hand, a moderate effect of gender on self-concept was observed, namely on the following dimensions: academic competence, sports competence, physical attractiveness, and self-esteem. In all cases, males had higher scores. The results were discussed considering the importance of social relationships for adolescent development.

A amostra foi constituída por 65 estudantes portugueses, com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 16 anos (M = 14). Os instrumentos foram o Questionário de Qualidade da Amizade e a versão portuguesa do Perfil de Autoperceção da Escala de Autoconceito para Adolescentes. Através de análises correlacionais, verificou-se uma relação entre a qualidade das relações de amizade e o autoconceito, sendo a dimensão companheirismo e recreação preditora do autoconceito global. Verificou-se, ainda, a ausência de um efeito de gênero na qualidade reportada das relações de amizade. Pelo contrário, ocorreu um efeito moderado do gênero no autoconceito, nomeadamente nas dimensões competência escolar, competência atlética, aparência física e autoestima, com o gênero masculino apresentando resultados médios superiores. Os resultados foram discutidos tendo em conta a importância das relações sociais para o desenvolvimento na adolescência.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2023-03-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/7698Psychological Studies; Vol. 34 No. 3 (2017): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 34 Núm. 3 (2017): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 34 n. 3 (2017): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/7698/5235Copyright (c) 2023 Renato Gomes CARVALHO, Eduardo FERNANDES, Joana CÂMARA, José Alberto GONÇALVES, João ROSÁRIO, Sandra FREITAS, Sandra CARVALHOhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCARVALHO, Renato GomesFERNANDES, EduardoCÂMARA, JoanaGONÇALVES, José AlbertoROSÁRIO, JoãoFREITAS, SandraCARVALHO, Sandra2023-03-09T13:45:57Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/7698Revistahttps://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:2023-03-09T13:45:57Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
