Efeitos da partilha de tarefas parentais na ansiedade de separação materna

Dissertação de Mestrado apresentada ao ISPA - Instituto Universitário

O objectivo deste estudo foi verificar se a partilha de tarefas (Lúdicas e Práticas) entre um casal teria influência quer nos níveis de Ansiedade de Separação Materna como, consequentemente, na adaptação das crianças/filhos ao pré-escolar. Os dados foram recolhidos por meio de um questionário, referente ao Envolvimento Parental, e foram analisados através de correlações de Pearson. Numa amostra de 69 díades, onde a idade das crianças varia entre os 29 e os 44 meses, não existe influência entre a Divisão de Tarefas Parentais e os níveis de Ansiedade de Separação Materna. Verificou-se, no entanto, algumas relações entre outras variáveis. O emprego materno tem influência ao nível da Ansiedade de Separação Materna e as habilitações literárias paternas interferem na partilha de tarefas lúdicas, sendo que estas últimas também apresentam efeitos ao nível da forma como as mães percepcionam a separação entre elas e os filhos. A partilha das tarefas praticas está também relacionada com a idade em que a criança entra para a escola.
