“…Regardless the level of shyness, our findings confirmed that, compared to late adolescents, early adolescents perceived parenting style as characterized not only by greater warmth and closeness but also by greater psychological control that limited the autonomy and independence of the child [50,51]. These results may depend on the experiences typical of late adolescence: the transition from high school to the environment of work or university, increasing peer-and couple-oriented socialization [41]. These experiences inevitably require more independence from parents leading to greater autonomy of the adolescents.…”

“…In particular, no studies were found analyzing the role that parenting styles play, as risk or protective factors, in moderating the relationship between shyness and psychological maladjustment during adolescence. This gap is surprising since, parents and their parenting style continue to have a relevant role in the adolescents' adjustment despite other relationships assuming a significant role in their lives, such as friendships in early-adolescence and romantic relationships during middle and late adolescence [41].…”

Although shyness constitutes a risk factor for maladjustment, parenting style may influence these developmental trajectories during childhood. Little is known about the role of parental style in the relationship between shyness and psychological adjustment during adolescence.Aims: To explore the relationship between shyness and parenting style and to analyse the moderating role of the quality of parenting in the relationship between shyness and internalizing difficulties during adolescence.Method: 787 11 to 19 year-old participants (divided in early and late adolescents) were recruited for this study. Participants completed Revised Cheek and Buss Shyness Scale, Parental Bonding Instrument and internalizing scale of Youth Self Report.Results: Shy adolescents perceived parents to be less warm and close, less encouraging of their autonomy and independence, and more overprotective and intrusive than did other participants. During early-adolescence participants who perceived their parents as supportive and not intrusive showed significantly fewer internalizing problems related to shyness.

“…Em conformidade com o quadro teórico, a duração da relação amorosa potencia diferenças significativas nas dimensões do QVA (menor duração apresenta menor confiança ao par amoroso, sendo a magnitude do efeito moderada); a dependência é maior, sendo o efeito da diferença significativo, nas relações de duração entre 2 a 4 anos, comparativamente com as que variam entre 6 meses a 2 anos; e os que namoram há menos tempo são mais evitantes. Estar ou não envolvido numa relação romântica não mostrou ser revelante para a percepção da satisfação com a vida nestes jovens; assim como não o mostrou o tempo de duração da relação, ao contrário do que sugerem alguns autores (Diener, 1984;Guarnieri, et al, 2015).…”

“…As transições para as relações adultas, são caracterizadas por maior equilíbrio (do que na infância) entre autonomia e proximidade, correlacionando-se esse equilíbrio com a satisfação com a vida (Chopik, Edelstein, van Anders, Wardecker, Shipman, & Samples-Steele, 2014;Guarnieri, Smorti, & Tani, 2015).…”

ResumoRepresentações das experiências precoces de vinculação estruturam novas relações significativas ao longo da vida. Estudam-se relações entre vinculação parental, vinculação amorosa, satisfação com a vida e orientação para o futuro, numa amostra de 262 jovens adultos (idades entre 18 e 34 anos; M= 21.3; DP= 3.12). Recorreu-se ao Inventário de Vinculação aos Pais e Pares (IPPA), Questionário de Vinculação Amorosa (QVA), Escala Satisfação com a Vida (SWL), e Escala de Esperança (EE). Os dois tipos de vinculação relacionam-se moderadamente, e a satisfação com a vida e orientação para o futuro, são explicados pela vinculação parental (mas não pela amorosa). Palavras chave: vinculação parental, vinculação romântica, orientação para futuro, satisfação com vida. AbstractRepresentations about attachment previous experiences structure the quality of new relationships later in life. This paper analyses the relations between attachment to parents, romantic attachment, life satisfaction and future orientation (hope), in 262 young adults (aged 18-to-34 years old; M= 21.3; DP= 3.12). The Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA), the Romantic Attachment (QVP), Satisfaction with Life (SWL); and Hope Scale were used. The two kinds of attachment seem to be independent; SWL and future orientation variation are explained by attachment to parents (but not by romantic attachment). Keywords: attachment to parents, romantic attachment, future orientation, life satisfaction A construção de vinculações a cuidadores e parceiros mantém-se, ao longo da história do Homem, pelo valor adaptativo para a sobrevivência e proteção na vulnerabilidade. Saber se os padrões de adaptação emergem de forma coerente, passo-a-passo, desde a infância, é uma questão fundamental na psicologia do desenvolvimento (Simpson, & Rholes, 2012;Sroufe, 2005); tendo sido tratada por Bowlby (1982;1988), ao propor que as diferenças nas representações das relações significativas emergem na história das interações, ou seja, não derivam de fantasias. A qualidade das vinculações é fundamental para o desenvolvimento da personalidade, e a teoria assenta na importância das experiências de vida, contrariando a interpretação psicanalítica clássica, embora admita que a interiorização dessas experiências está imbuída de interpretações pessoais, que dão origem aos modelos operantes internos. Os modelos estruturam-se a partir do momento em que a criança tem a noção de "permanência do objecto", ou seja, quando pode recorrer, mentalmente, à figura do outro, mesmo quando ausente (Piaget, 1947;1948;Waters, & Waters, 2006). A "continuidade" nos estilos de relações traduz a existência desses modelos mentais do self, dos outros, e das relações, sendo que tanto as "formas saudáveis de amor como as não saudáveis têm origem em adaptações a condições sociais específicas" (Hazen, & Shaver, 1987, p.511), pelo que são analisáveis, interpretáveis e passíveis de reinterpretações.Os modelos internos funcionam como uma espécie de scrpits (ou esquemas) que geram expectativas que preparam para...

Parent and Peer Attachment as Predictors of Emerging Adulthood Characteristics

The transition to adulthood has been described as emerging adulthood (EA), a culturally constructed stage of development that has been evidenced among individuals in industrialized countries worldwide (Arnett, 2000). As such, EA is distinctly different from adolescence because of decreased parental control, increased independence, more diverse educational paths and experiences, and improved parent-child relationships as compared with adolescence (Arnett, 2015). EA also differs from young adulthood due to lack of experiences that traditionally constitute adulthood (such as marriage, career stability, etc.).By recognizing EA as a distinct life stage, counselors can educate clients and normalize clients' experiences, thereby encouraging resilience and well-being through the therapeutic relationship (Lane, 2015). Because various relational factors, including both parent and peer attachment, influence EA (Szwedo,
