Tendo em conta as altera??es que se observam atualmente na estrutura e nas configura??es familiares, tem sido questionado o impacto que estas altera??es t?m no funcionamento da fam?lia e no autoconceito dos adolescentes. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar como se relacionam, em distintas configura??es familiares, a perce??o dos adolescentes e seus pais sobre o tipo de funcionamento familiar e o autoconceito dos filhos adolescentes. Participaram neste estudo 70 agregados familiares, representados por 70 filhos adolescentes, 67 m?es e 40 pais. Foi aplicada a Escala de Avalia??o da Adaptabilidade e Coes?o Familiar II (FACES II) ? d?ade parental e ao filho para avaliar a perce??o de funcionamento familiar e a Piers-Harris Children?s Self-Concept Scale 2 (PHCSCS-2) para avaliar o autoconceito dos filhos adolescentes. N?o foram observadas diferen?as estatisticamente significativas nas configura??es familiares face ao funcionamento familiar percebido, ? excep??o da perce??o de funcionamento familiar do adolescente que ? em regra mais negativa do que a dos pais. No entanto, as fam?lias nucleares intactas revelaram scores de coes?o e adaptabilidade m?dios mais satisfat?rios comparativamente com as fam?lias de outras configura??es (incluem-se as monoparentais, as reconstitu?das e as alargadas). O autoconceito parece variar nas v?rias configura??es familiares, sendo que s?o os adolescentes das fam?lias nucleares intactas que t?m perce??o de autoconceito superior. Constatou-se, ainda, a exist?ncia de associa??o entre a perce??o de funcionamento familiar e o autoconceito do adolescente, no sentido em que quanto mais funcional a fam?lia se perceciona, melhor o autoconceito do filho adolescente. Real?a-se a pertin?ncia de promo??o de interven??es no sentido de potenciar a resili?ncia individual e familiar perante as adversidades, nomeadamente, as transi??es familiares. / Bearing in mind the current changes in family structures and configurations, questions have been raised as to how these changes have impacted on the functioning of families and on the adolescents? self-concept. The aim of this study is to examine how the perception that adolescents and their parents, as part of different family configurations, have on the type of family functioning relates to the self-concept of adolescents or adolescent children. This study involved 70 households represented by 70 adolescents, 67 mothers and 40 fathers. We applied the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale II (FACES II) to the combination parent and child to assess the perception of family functioning, and the Piers-Harris Children?s Self-Concept Scale 2 (PHCSCS-2) to assess the self-concept of adolescents. No statistically significant differences were observed in the family configurations based on the perceived family functioning, with the exception to how the adolescent perceives the family functioning, which is usually more negative than that of the parents. Nevertheless, the average cohesion and adaptability scores of the unbroken nuclear families were more satisfactory compared to those of families with different configurations (that includes single parent families, reconstituted families, and extended families). The self-concept seems to vary in the different family configurations, with adolescents from unbroken nuclear families having a higher self-concept perception. It also became evident that there was an association between the perceived family functioning and the self-concept of the adolescent, in the sense that the more the family perceives itself as being functional, the better the self-concept of the adolescents. This study stresses the relevance of promoting interventions to encourage individual and family resilience to respond to adversities, in particular family transformations.
