Opinião dos pais e resolução de conflitos por pré-adolescentes

Abstract

ResumoO estudo visou a verificar se existe relação entre as estratégias de resolução de conflitos de pré-adolescentes e a percepção que têm das opiniões de seus pais sobre elas. Participaram 369 alunos do sexto e sétimo anos do Ensino Fundamental de três escolas, uma pública e duas privadas, que responderam a um questionário sobre a resolução de dez situações de conflito com colegas, amigos e pais. Foram acrescentadas questões em dois conflitos sobre opinião parental acerca da estratégia apresentada pelo participante. Os resultados mostraram que, no total da amostra, as estratégias predominantes de resolução foram submissão, coerção, mistas de coerção e submissão, e negociação, verificando-se diferenças entre tipo de escola quanto à predominância de cada estratégia de resolução, assim como em relação à percepção da opinião parental. A submissão, a ambivalente de submissão com coerção e a negociação foram apontadas como aprovadas pelos pais. A agressão foi apontada como reprovada. Verificou-se relação positiva entre estratégia relatada e percepção da opinião dos pais, assim como entre opinião e motivo. Palavras-chave:Conflito, Estratégias, Percepção, Pais, Escola. Parents' opinions and interpersonal conflict resolution by preadolescents AbstractThe study aimed to verify possible relationships between preadolescents' strategies to solve interpersonal conflicts and their perception of parents' opinions about these strategies. 369 students participated, enrolled in the sixth and seventh grades of three schools, one public and two private. They answered an open questionnaire about their strategies to solve ten conflicts with colleagues, friends or parents. Questions concerning parental opinion about the proposed strategy were added in two conflicts. The results showed that the prevailing resolution strategies in the sample were submission, coercion, coercion mixed with submission, and negotiation. Differences were found between school types on the predominance of each resolution strategy, as well as in relation to the perception of parental opinion. The strategies perceived as approved by parents were submission, submission mixed with coercion, and negotiation. Aggression was pointed out as rebuked. Positive relationships were obtained between strategic choice and perception of parents' opinion as well as between opinion and motive.

An Exploratory Study of Forgiveness’ Place into the Interpersonal Conflicts of Pre-teenagers

“…On the other hand, the scarcity of researches aimed at clarifying the variables that intervene on forgiveness during the development (Baneerjee et al, 2010), points to the need for further investigations to establish whether pre-adolescents, good conflict solvers, are more prone to forgiveness like adults are (Riskalla et al, 2008). It will still be possible to evaluate whether the lack of conflict reaction, which we recognized in previous studies (Leme, 2004, Leme, 2006, Leme, Carvalho and Joveleviths, 2012, Leme and Carvalho, 2014, is related to the beginning of the forgiveness process and which situations are more favorable to the granting and maintenance of the relationship in this age group. Given the impact that these processes may have, not only on the continuity of the relationship between the transgressor and the victim, but also on the environment of coexistence among young people (Rodrigues, Dias & Freitas, 2010), we consider it important to verify how forgiveness relates to different conflict resolution strategies, which as far as we have checked, has not yet been investigated.…”

“…To carry out these studies, we have employed an open instrument containing 10 situations of interpersonal conflict caused by some type of opposition, or even aggression perpetrated by friends, colleagues or parents, whose intention is not always explicit. After each description, the participant is asked to describe what he or she would do as a victim of the type of situation described above (Leme, 2004, Leme, 2006, Leme, Carvalho and Joveleviths, 2012, Leme and Carvalho, 2014.…”

“…Third, there is a prevalence of responses that are considered mixed, combining avoidance or lack of resolution with some kind of veiled aggression, such as planning to break up the relationship with the other protagonist, who is the cause of the conflict. Only in fourth place do the better responses to the maintenance of the relationship appear, seeking conciliation of interests through negotiation, and more rarely, the acquittal of the antagonist via pardon (Leme, 2004, Leme, 2006, Leme, Carvalho and Joveleviths, 2012, Leme and Carvalho, 2014.…”

“…In this respect, it is important to specify that the strategies identified in our studies (Leme, 2004, Leme, 2006, Leme, Carvalho and Joveleviths, 2012, Leme and Carvalho, 2014, express two basic forms of conflict resolution: violent, and non-violent confrontation and the absence of coping characterized by avoidance or escape. The pacific confrontation can be characterized by the negotiation or conciliation of interests, and the violent by aggression.…”

Resolução de conflitos interpessoais e as histórias em quadrinhos: uma possibilidade de interlocução

“…A maior incidência de estratégias de resolução de caráter submisso aponta para o encontrado no estudo de Leme (2012), que investigou a percepção da opinião de professores sobre conflitos entre pré-adolescentes na escola. A autora encontrou uma predominância de respostas submissas entre as meninas na resolução de um determinado conflito e predominância de respostas agressivas entre os meninos na resolução de outro.…”
