“…Concurrent associations have been found between conflict and support: adolescents with more conflict with their parents were found to perceive their parents as less supportive (Jenkins et al 2002). Similarly, a study among late adolescents found a significant negative correlation between parental social support and family conflict (Cutrona et al 1994).…”

This 4-wave longitudinal study examines developmental changes in adolescents' perceptions of parent-adolescent relationships by assessing parental support, conflict with parents, and parental power. A total of 951 early adolescents (50.4% boys) and 390 middle adolescents (43.3% boys) participated. Univariate and multivariate growth curve analyses showed that support declined from early to middle adolescence for boys and girls and increased from middle to late adolescence for girls, while stabilizing for boys. Conflict was found to temporarily increase during middle adolescence. Parental power (relative power and dominance of parents) decreased from early to late adolescence. Results indicated that: (1) parent-adolescent relationships become more egalitarian during adolescence, (2) parents perceived by adolescents as powerful are viewed as supportive, especially in early adolescence, and (3) perceived conflict with parents is related to but not an impetus for changes in parent-adolescent relationships towards more equality.

“…While some degree of conflict with parents is considered to be normal during adolescence , prolonged, intense and repeated conflict is frequently associated with poor psychological adjustment (Barber & Delfabbro, 2000;Branje et al, 2010;Jenkins et al, 2002;Sheeber, et al, 2007;Vazsonyi & Belliston, 2006). Other negative qualities such as high levels of over-intrusive and authoritarian parental control (Rigby, Slee & Martin, 2007), and low levels of perceived parental communication (Ackard, NeumarkSztainer, Story & Perry, 2006) have also been significantly associated with negative well-being in adolescence.…”

The aim of this study was to examine positive and negative qualities in adolescents' interpersonal relationships and their relative importance in predicting emotional distress. Participants were 260 students from three schools in the Dublin area (119 girls; 141 boys), aged 12-18 years (M= 15.32, SD= 1.91). Students completed questionnaires assessing qualities in important interpersonal relationships in their lives and emotional distress. Girls reported more positive qualities in their relationships with mothers and best friends than boys. Younger students reported more positive qualities in their relationships with parents than older students. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed high levels of satisfaction in interpersonal relationships were predictive of low levels of emotional distress whereas high levels of criticism and exclusion were predictive of high levels of distress. High levels of support and disclosure were also linked to emotional distress. These findings and their implications are discussed in detail.

“…Estudos mostram diferenças entre os sexos, em especial quando a autoeficá-cia está relacionada a outros aspectos, como desempenho acadêmico, depressão e aceitação em grupos (Pastorelli, & cols., 2001;Jenkins, Goodness, & Buhrmester, 2002;Vekiri, & Chronaki, 2008). O senso de autoeficácia de crianças pode estar relacionado também à idade, pois, de acordo com Eccles, Wigfield e Schiefele (conforme citado por Costa & Boruchovitch, 2006), crianças com menor idade tendem a apresentar um senso de autoeficácia mais elevado do que os seus pares mais velhos.…”

ResumoO estudo objetivou investigar a associação do senso de autoeficácia com o desempenho escolar, as dificuldades de aprendizagem, o sexo e a idade de crianças das séries iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Participaram 406 escolares (56,9% meninas), com idades entre sete e dez anos, matriculados em uma escola da região metropolitana de Florianópolis/SC. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Teste de Desempenho Escolar (TDE) e o Roteiro de Avaliação do Senso de Autoeficácia (RASAE). Foi identificada associação significativa entre autoeficácia e desempenho escolar para todos os níveis de habilidades escolares, e aqueles com melhor desempenho apresentavam maior autoeficácia (p<0,001). Quanto ao sexo, as meninas mostraram-se mais autoeficazes do que os meninos (p<0,05). Crianças de diferentes grupos etários (7 a 8 e 9 a 10 anos) tiveram níveis semelhantes de autoeficácia. Sugere-se que ações com vista ao aumento da autoeficácia sejam direcionadas especialmente aos meninos e grupos com baixo desempenho, de forma a repercutirem na motivação e aprendizagem escolar.

Self-efficacy and school performance of elementary school students AbstractIn this study we aim at investigating the association of the feeling of self-efficacy with academic performance, learning difficulties, gender and age of children in the early grades of elementary school. The sample was composed of 406 children (56% girls), aged 7 to 10 years, enrolled in a school in the metropolitan area of Florianópolis/SC. The instruments used were the Academic Performance Test (TDE) and Sense of selfefficacy Assessment Guide (RASAE). Statistically significant association was found between self-efficacy and academic performance for all levels of school skills and those with the best performance had higher self-efficacy (p <0.001). Regarding the results between gender, girls were more self-efficacy than boys (p <0,05). Children of different age groups (7-8 and 9-10 years) had similar levels of self-efficacy. The results suggest that actions which target the increase of self-efficacy are directed especially to boys and groups with low academic performance. This produces impacts on the motivation and school learning. Keywords: Self-efficacy; academic achievement; children.
