“…The current study focused on how parenting and coparenting affect adolescents' functioning. Growing up in a post-divorce family has the potential to undermine adolescents' experiences of belonging and autonomy (Friendly & Grolnick, 2009), which are crucial for their positive development in general (Ryan & Deci, 2000), but potentially even more, or more apparent, following a divorce. A major consequence of a divorce is the change from daily contact with family members to organized contact via post-divorce living arrangements, which also affects how routines of school, hobbies, and leisure time activities take place (Campo et al, 2012).…”

“…A major consequence of a divorce is the change from daily contact with family members to organized contact via post-divorce living arrangements, which also affects how routines of school, hobbies, and leisure time activities take place (Campo et al, 2012). As such, a lack of autonomy may become apparent through the feeling of having no say in decisions about living arrangements and related aspects in their daily living situation (Friendly & Grolnick, 2009). Another major consequence of parental divorce is that it usually puts pressure on the quality of parent-child and interparental relationships (Amato, 2010;Friendly & Grolnick, 2009), which may become apparent through a reduced sense of family belonging (Rejaän et al, 2021a).…”

Although there is ample evidence on the importance of experiencing autonomy and belonging for positive adolescent development and the supporting role of parents in this regard, most knowledge stems from intact families. As many youth grow up with divorced parents, this study tested longitudinal links between warm and autonomy supportive parenting and coparental cooperation and conflict on the one hand, and adolescents’ post-divorce autonomy and belonging on the other. Data consisted of three-wave self-report data of 191 Dutch adolescents (Mage = 14.36, 61.3% girls) and 227 divorced parents (Mage = 46.08, 74% mothers). Random-intercept cross-lagged panel models showed stable between-family differences, with autonomy relating positively to coparenting and parental autonomy support, and belongingness associating positively solely with parenting. No significant effects were found within families, meaning that changes in (co)parental behaviors did not predict adolescents’ experiences of autonomy and belonging or vice versa.

“…A influência de fatores de nível microssistémico na adaptação à separação parental tem sido muito estudada (Amato, 2000;Kushner, 2009): as relações entre pais e filhos (Eldar-Avidan, Haj-Yahia, & Greenbaum, 2009), a parentalidade e coparentalidade, as relações entre os pais e no sistema familiar (Di Stefano & Cry, 2014;Friendly & Grolnick, 2008;Holt, 2016;Kelly & Emery, 2003;Lamela, Figueiredo, Bastos, & Feinberg, 2016;Lansford, 2009;). O envolvimento dos dois pais na vida dos filhos e uma boa relação com ambos os pais, caracterizada por apoio emocional, uma comunicação frequente, clara e aberta e uma definição de papéis adequada são apresentados por muitos autores como fatores protetores centrais na adaptação à separação parental (Holt, 2016;Lamela et al, 2016), com exceção das situações em que o afastamento do filho de um dos pais, pelas consequências negativas que essa relação trazia, se torna protetora (Kelly & Emery, 2003).…”

ResumoPartindo das lentes da psicologia sistémica, o presente estudo exploratório qualitativo propõe-se estudar as perspetivas de jovens adultos com pais separados e de magistrados do Tribunal de Família e Menores (TFM) acerca da adaptação à separação parental. Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas a 10 jovens adultos com pais separados e 10 magistrados do TFM, analisadas através dos procedimentos de análise temática indutiva e dedutiva. Os resultados evidenciaram (1) o papel central da relação com e entre os pais na adaptação à separação parental, (2) a importância da relação do sistema familiar com os sistemas em que está inserido nesta fase, (3) a pertinência de pensar o papel dos magistrados nestes processos e (4) as potencialidades da mediação familiar como resposta às necessidades das famílias que passam por processos de separação. Os resultados são discutidos e analisados, tendo em conta as suas limitações e implicações.Palavras-chave: separação parental, adaptação, fatores de risco e de proteção AbstractThrough a systemic perspective, this exploratory study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of children's adaptation process to parental separation. Based on the perspectives of young adults that experienced parental separation and of family court magistrates, the risk and protective factors of the adaptation process to parental separation were explored using qualitative methods. Semi structured interviews were conducted to these samples: 10 young adults which experienced parental separation and 10 family court magistrates. The content of the interviews were analysed through inductive and deductive thematic analysis.
