Resumo
Estudos anteriores têm demonstrado a importância da satisfação com o contexto escolar nos níveis de saúde e bem-estar subjectivo dos adolescentes.
Como tal, o presente estudo pretende ampliar esta evidência empírica através
da análise do efeito de variáveis sociodemográficas (género, idade, local de residência, estatuto socioeconómico e relação com os pais) nos níveis de
satisfação escolar e o contributo desta dimensão para a explicação do bemestar psicológico dos alunos, de acordo com o modelo de Ryff (1989a, 1989b).
A amostra foi constituída por 698 adolescentes (381 raparigas e 317 rapazes)com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 18 anos (M=15.02, DP=1.83). Os principais resultados demonstraram não existirem diferenças significativas de
satisfação com a escola entre género, local de residência (rural vs urbano) e níveis
de estatuto socioeconómico. Por outro lado, observou-se que a satisfação escolar diminui ao longo da idade e associa-se positivamente com melhores relações entre pais e filhos. Verificou-se, ainda, que a satisfação com a escola se correlaciona positivamente com todas as dimensões do bem-estar psicológico
e exerce um efeito positivo moderado nos níveis de bem-estar global, mesmo após o controlo da influência das variáveis sociodemográficas.
Previous research has already shown the importance of the adolescents’ school satisfaction on their levels of health and subjective well-being. As such, the present study intended to provide additional support to the available empirical evidence through the analysis of the effect of some sociodemographic variables (gender, age, place of residence, socioeconomic status and relationship with parents) on the levels of the adolescents satisfaction with their school context and also on their psychological well-being according to Ryff’s model (1989a, 1989b). The sample comprised 698 adolescents (381 girls and 317 boys) between 12 and 18 years of age (M=15.02, SD=1.83). Main results showed no significant differences in satisfaction with school context considering gender, place of residence (rural versus urban) and socioeconomic status. On the other hand, satisfaction with school context decreased with age and was positively associated with a better relationship between parents and children. Moreover, satisfaction with school context positively correlated with all dimensions of psychological well-being and exerted a moderately positive effect on the levels of global well-being even after controlling for the influence of sociodemographic variables.
