Resumo
O clima familiar, os processos de desenvolvimento identitário e o social connectedness podem influenciar o desenvolvimento de psicopatologia, em diferentes etapas do ciclo de vida. Com recurso a um desenho quantitativo transversal e a uma amostra de 295 adultos emergentes, o presente estudo pretende analisar se os processos de desenvolvimento identitário são preditores da sintomatologia psicológica e qual o papel mediador do clima familiar e do social connectedness na relação entre os processos de desenvolvimento identitário e a sintomatologia psicológica. Os resultados dos modelos de equações estruturais mostram que: os processos de desenvolvimento identitário predizem a sintomatologia psicológica; e o clima familiar e o social connectedness são mediadores da relação entre a sintomatologia psicológica e os processos de desenvolvimento identitário. Os resultados sugerem que a percepção positiva do clima familiar e o sentimento de proximidade interpessoal podem constituir-se como mecanismos de confirmação em relação aos estilos de vida e opções explorados e escolhidos pelos adultos emergentes, contribuindo para o seu bem-estar psicológico. Este estudo tem implicações para a literatura relacionada com adultos emergentes, psicopatologia, família e identidade, ao relevar o impacto de variáveis individuais (processos de desenvolvimento identitários) e relacionais (social connectedness e clima familiar) no desenvolvimento de psicopatologia, nesta etapa do ciclo de vida.
The literature suggested that family environment, processes of identity development and social connectedness can play a role in the development of psychopathology across life cycles. The current study aimed at analyzing whether processes of identity development predict psychological symptomathology and the role of family environment and social connectedness as mediators of the relationship between processes of identity development and psychological symptomathology. The results of structural equation models showed that processes of identity development predict psychological symptomathology; and family environment and social connectedness mediate the relationship between processes of identity development and psychological symptomathology. The results suggested that the positive perception of the family environment and the sense of connectedness with social world can act as validators of the emerging adults’ life styles, options and life decisions, contributing to their well-being. Our data highlighted the impact of individual (identity) and relational (family environment and social connectedness) variables in the development of psychopathology in emerging adulthood. Thus, the present study has implications for clinical practice and the literature in diverse fields, namely, emergent adulthood, psychopathology, family and identity.
