Abstract(s)
A presente investigação teve como principal objetivo realizar uma análise comparativa entre um grupo de adolescentes com percurso delinquente (N=63) e outro grupo de adolescentes da população geral (N=129) com idades compreendidas entre os 13 e os 18 anos. Pretendemos verificar possíveis diferenças ao nível da perceção das atitudes parentais e a eventual presença de psicopatologia (perturbação de ansiedade generalizada, perturbação de stress pós-traumático, perturbação depressiva major, ideação suicida, problemas de autoconceito e problemas interpessoais).
De forma a dar resposta aos nossos objetivos, recorremos aos seguintes instrumentos: questionário de dados sociodemográficos e familiares (Lemos, 2007), Adolescent Psychopathology Scale – Short Form – APS – SF (Reynolds, 2000), Inventário de Perceções Adolescentes (IPA) (Flemming, 1988,1997), Inventário de Sintomas Psicopatológicos (BSI) - Índice Geral de Sintomas (IGS) (Derogatis, 1977) e Questionário sobre as características familiares, acontecimentos de vida e comportamento de jovens abrangidos pela lei Tutelar Educativa (Lemos, 2007; 2010).
Relativamente aos principais resultados obtidos, encontrou-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre o grupo com percurso delinquente e o grupo sem percurso delinquente no que respeita ao número de reprovações, ao nível de escolaridade do pai e da mãe, ao nível socioeconómico e à situação conjugal dos pais.
No que diz respeito à perceção das atitudes parentais, verificou-se que os valores médios eram superiores na escala da Hostilidade no grupo de adolescentes com percurso delinquente quando comparado ao grupo da população geral.
Observou-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os grupos no que respeita à Ideação Suicida do APS-SF. Contudo, nas restantes escalas não se observaram diferenças estatisticamente significativas.
Por último, podemos concluir que os jovens delinquentes reportavam mais sintomas psicopatológicos que o grupo de adolescentes da população geral.
The main objective of the present investigation was to perform a comparative analysis between a group of adolescents with delinquent course (N = 63) and another group of adolescents from the general population (N = 129) aged between 13 and 18 years. We intend to verify possible differences in the perception of parental attitudes and eventual presence of psychopathology (generalized anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder, suicidal ideation, self-concept problems and interpersonal problems). In order to meet our objectives, we used the following tools: Sociodemographic and Family Data Questionnaire (Lemos, 2007), Adolescent Psychopathology Scale - Short Form - APS - SF (Reynolds, 2000), Adolescent Perceptions Inventory (IPA) (Flemming, 1988,1997), Psychopathological Symptom Inventory (BSI) - General Symptom Index (IGS) (Derogatis, 1977) and Questionnaire on family characteristics, life events and behavior of young people covered by the Educatinal Guardianship Law (Lemos, 2007; 2010). Regarding the main results obtained, statistically significant differences were found between the delinquent and non-delinquent groups regarding the number of failures, the level of education of the father and the mother, the socioeconomic level and the marital status of the parents. Regarding the perception of parental attitudes, it was found that the mean values were higher on the Hostility scale in the group of adolescents with delinquent course when compared to the general population group. Statistically significant differences were observed between groups with respect to APS-SF Suicidal Ideation. However, in the remaining scales no statistically significant differences were observed. Finally, we can conclude that young offenders reported more psychopathological symptoms than the group of adolescents in the general population
