Resumo: | Adopted adolescents are frequently identified as being at risk in terms of social competence. This study aimed at analysing the social competence of a group of adopted adolescents, by comparing them with a group of adolescents in residential care and another one with no referral to Child Protection Services. One-hundred-thirty-five adolescents aged from 12 to 17 participated in this study, 45 of whom were adopted, 45 were in residential care and 45 were living with their birth families. Adolescents assessed their social competence through the Social Skills Improvement System-Rating Scales. Results showed statistically significant differences among the groups. Adopted adolescents displayed more social skills and less behaviour problems than adolescents in residential care and less social skills but more behaviour problems than those living with their birth families. Furthermore, the later the adoptees had been placed in out of home care, the less social skills they presented. These findings highlight the pressing need of child protection policies and practices to ensure adoptees’ healthy social competence. |

Neste estudo pretendeu-se analisar a competência social de um grupo de adolescentes adotados, através da comparação com um grupo de adolescentes em acolhimento residencial (AR) e de um grupo de adolescentes que viviam com a família de nascimento e explorar a sua relação com variáveis relativas à adoção. Participaram neste estudo 135 adolescentes, com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 17 anos, dos quais 45 foram adotados, 45 estavam em AR e 45 viviam com a família de nascimento. A competência social foi avaliada junto dos próprios adolescentes através do SSIS-RS. Os resultados demonstraram diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os três grupos de adolescentes, apresentando os adolescentes adotados mais habilidades sociais e menos problemas de comportamento que os adolescentes em AR, mas menos habilidades sociais e mais problemas de comportamento que os adolescentes que viviam com a família de nascimento. Verificou-se ainda quanto mais tarde os adolescentes que vêm a ser adotados entraram em acolhimento, menor o seu reportório de habilidades sociais. Estes resultados apontam a premência de práticas de intervenção em proteção infantil que propiciem o desenvolvimento da competência social.ISPA - Instituto Universitário2018-06-06info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14417/ap.1352https://doi.org/10.14417/ap.1352Análise Psicológica; Vol 36, No 2 (2018); 185-197Análise Psicológica; Vol 36, No 2 (2018); 185-1971646-60200870-8231reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttp://publicacoes.ispa.pt/index.php/ap/article/view/1352http://publicacoes.ispa.pt/index.php/ap/article/view/1352/pdfBarroso, RaquelBarbosa-Ducharne, MariaCruz, OrlandaSilva, Anainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-05-11T10:19:56Zoai:ojs.localhost:article/1352Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:51:15.396388Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
