Resumo:  The ageing process has provoked a visible increase of older adult students in Brazilian universities. Several studies have been conducted on the development of this older adult student, but few have tested the influence of social skills and perceived social support on academic performance by comparing different age groups. The goal of this longitudinal study was to investigate the influence of social support and social skills on the academic performance of older adult college students compared to younger individuals. The sample was composed of 326 college students (200 younger individuals and 126 older adults), from 13 universities in the metropolitan area of the city of Rio de Janeiro. Multiple hierarchical regression confirmed the predictive power of the social support (but not the social skills) over academic performance. The evolution of academic performance (performance coefficient) was observed for two years. New studies with larger samples in other regional contexts are recommended.

Diversas pesquisas foram realizadas sobre o desenvolvimento deste estudante idoso, mas poucos estudos testaram a influência do apoio social percebido e das habilidades sociais no desempenho acadêmico deles em comparação com estudantes de outras faixas etárias. O objetivo deste estudo longitudinal foi investigar a influência do apoio social e das habilidades sociais sobre o desempenho acadêmico dos estudantes universitários idosos em comparação aos jovens. A amostra foi composta por 326 universitários (200 jovens e 126 idosos) de 13 instituições universitárias da região metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro. A regressão múltipla hierárquica confirmou o poder preditivo do apoio social, mas não das habilidades sociais sobre o desempenho acadêmico. A evolução do desempenho acadêmico (medida através do coeficiente de rendimento escolar) dos universitários que compunham a amostra foi observada durante dois anos. São recomendados novos estudos com amostras maiores em contextos regionais.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2023-02-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/7326Psychological Studies; Vol. 38 (2021): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 38 (2021): Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 38 (2021): 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/7326/4887Copyright (c) 2023 Soniárlei Vieira LEITE, Lucia Helena de Freitas Pinho FRANÇA, Shirley Bezerra Feitosa LEITEhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLEITE, Soniárlei VieiraFRANÇA, Lucia Helena de Freitas PinhoLEITE, Shirley Bezerra Feitosa2023-08-03T13:41:42Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/7326Revistahttps://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:2023-08-03T13:41:42Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
