“…Assim, e de acordo com a literatura, espera-se encontrar diferenças de género do adolescente na qualidade de vinculação a ambos os pais e na percepção de conflito interparental (Davies & Lindsay, 2001;Henry & Holmes, 1998;Kenny & Donaldson, 1991;Kerig, 1998;Matos, Barbosa, Almeida & Costa, 1999;Paterson, Pryor & Field, 1995). É igualmente esperado que os adolescentes de famílias divorciadas apresentem valores inferiores nas dimensões de vinculação à figura paterna, mas não à materna (Dunlop et al, 2001;Henry & Holmes, 1998;Paterson et al, 1995), para além de poderem evidenciar percepções de conflito interparental mais elevado comparativamente com os adolescentes provenientes de famílias intactas (Bickham & Fiese, 1997;Cummings & Davies, 1994;Hanson, 1999;Kline, Wood & Moore, 2003).…”

Este estudo pretendeu identificar variações na qualidade da vinculação aos pais em função da estrutura familiar (famílias intactas e divorciadas) e do conflito interparental, tendo sido igualmente analisadas as diferenças de género do adolescente e das figuras parentais. Deste estudo fizeram parte 310 jovens dos 14 aos 18 anos de idade de ambos os géneros. Os questionários utilizados foram o Questionário de Vinculação ao Pai e à Mãe (QVPM; Matos & Costa, 2001, versão revista) e o The Children’s Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale (CPIC; Grych, Seid & Fincham, 1992). Ambos os instrumentos revelaram ter qualidades psicométricas adequadas, testadas a partir de análises factoriais confirmatórias e da consistência interna. Os resultados apontam para o facto de a situação de divórcio afectar mais o relacionamento do jovem com a figura paterna, enquanto que o conflito interparental surge como a variável mais preditora da vinculação aos pais, afectando a qualidade do laço emocional relativamente a ambas as figuras parentais, independentemente da estrutura familiar.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17575/rpsicol.v22i1.341

“…The establishment of a strong sense of identity has been associated with the ability to achieve deeper levels of intimacy (Erikson, 1968). These self-identities are not only well understood, but are more often positive (Ben-Zur, 2003;Leondari & Kiosseoglou, 2002;McCormick & Kennedy, 1994;Paterson, Pryor, & Field, 1995). Secure adolescents are also more successful in regulating their emotion in the context of conflict than insecure adolescents (Kobak, Cole, Ferenz-Gilles, Fleming, & Gamble, 1993).…”

Attachment formation is considered a developmental process that continues far beyond infancy and early childhood. Yet the research on adolescent attachment formation remains relatively modest. This article reviews the normative and pathological developmental trajectories of attachment during adolescence. Specific attention is focused on the assessment of attachment in adolescence and different classification systems developed to describe adaptive and maladaptive adolescent attachment. The review continues with an examination into the predictors associated with secure versus insecure attachment in adolescence. Finally, forensic considerations are explored.

“…Correlations between Peer Attachment and these measures of family functioning were small. Numerous additional studies support of the reliability and validity of the IPPA (Adams and Chase-Lansdale, 2002;Amsden et al, 1991;Black and McCartney, 1997;Formoso et al, 2000;Paterson et al, 1995;Pavlidis and McCauley, 2001). Armsden and Greenberg's (1987) factor analysis of IPPA data using undergraduate students resulted in three factors for questions pertaining to both parents and peers (Trust, Communication, and Alienation).…”

No self-report measure of attachment is well validated for middle-childhood. This study examined the validity and factor structure of the People in My Life (PIML) measure in 320 urban, fifth and sixth graders. Validity analyses consisted of correlational analyses between PIML subscales and the Child Behavior Checklist, Delinquency Rating Scale for Self and Others, Heath Resources Inventory, and Reynolds Child Depression Scale. Validity correlations were consistent with a-priori hypotheses. Confirmatory factor analyses consisted of comparison of model fit indices between seven models. Two models fit the data well and both models were consistent with the traditionally used PIML scoring protocol. Moreover, both models were consistent with the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA), on which the PIML is modeled, as well as the theoretical underpinnings of attachment in childhood. The PIML and IPPA provide instruments for obtaining a continuous selfreport measure of attachment from middle-childhood through adulthood. KeywordsPeople in my life; Attachment; Late childhood; Factor analysis; Validity Attachment, defined as the type of enduring emotional bond that an individual has toward significant others such as family, friends, and close associates, has long been considered an important factor in social and psychological healthiness (Ainsworth et al., 1978; Bowlby, 1969 Bowlby, /1982Bowlby, /1973Hinde, 1982;Sroufe, 1978). Secure attachment with parents and/or peers in NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript adolescents is associated with life satisfaction, school achievement, self-esteem, and psychological adjustment (Armsden and Greenberg, 1987;Buhrmester, 1990;Bukowski et al., 1993;Hartup, 1996;Nickerson and Nagle, 2004). Children who form insecure attachments are at greater risk for experiencing psychopathology when they are older, even into adulthood (Allen and Land, 1999;Dozier et al., 1999). Hence, children's quality of attachment to others is associated with emotional and behavioral well-being in critical ways. Parental attachmentAttachment theory and research describe types of emotional bonds between parents and children, individuals and their friends and significant others. Some of the central goals of attachment theory and research are to specify the ideal types of attachments, how attachment to others might evolve developmentally as people mature, and the consequences of optimal and non-optimal attachments (Ainsworth, 1991; Bowlby, 1969 Bowlby, /1982Bowlby, /1973 Elicker et al., 1992). A child's attachment to a parent appears to serve as a model for other close relationships (Ainsworth, 1989;Bowlby, 1973;Hazan and Shaver, 1994). Secure attachment to a parent often is a prelude to successful interpersonal skills and intimate relationships (Black and McCartney, 1997;Madden-Derdich et al., 2002) and attachment to a parent remains even after attachments to peers are established (Hazan and Shaver, 1994;Hazan and Zeifman, 1994).However, the association betw...
