ABSTRACT
The relation between attachment and parental practices with externalizing (aggression and delinquency) and internalizing (social withdrawal and anxiety/depression) behavioral problems were investigated in this study. Participants were 289 children (from 9 to 12 years old) and 205 caregivers who answered distinct questionnaires the formers on attachment and the later on parental practices. Results indicated that poor maternal attachment relationships, high levels of parental rejection and being a boy predicted aggression. Moreover, poor paternal attachment and father's low education predicted social withdrawal. Finally, parental rejection was marginally associated with anxiety/depression. The results reinforce, partially, the existing literature and help to understand the complex relationship between parenting and behavioral problems.(AU)
RESUMO
As relações do vínculo de apego e das práticas parentais com problemas externalizantes (agressividade e delinquência) e internalizantes (retraimento social e ansiedade/depressão) foram investigadas neste estudo. Os participantes foram 289 crianças (9 a12 anos de idade) e 205 cuidadores que responderam questionários sobre vínculo de apego e sobre práticas parentais. Os resultados indicaram que vínculo frágil de apego materno, altos níveis de rejeição parental e o fato de ser menino predizem agressividade. Ademais, vínculo frágil de apego paterno e baixa escolaridade paterna predizem retraimento social. Finalmente, rejeição parental associou-se marginalmente à ansiedade/depressão dos filhos. Os resultados reforçam parcialmente a literatura e auxiliam na compreensão da complexa relação entre parentalidade e problemas comportamentais.(AU)
