Resumo
A qualidade da vinculação às figuras parentais tem vindo a ser apontada como um elemento relevante no ajustamento e bem-estar psicológico do indivíduo ao longo de todo o percurso desenvolvimental, funcionando, como um fator importante face a experiências adversas na infância. O caráter negativo das experiências adversas na infância parece funcionar, ainda, como um fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de sintomatologia psicopatológica. O objetivo do presente estudo prende-se com a análise do papel da qualidade da vinculação aos pais na associação entre experiências adversas na infância e sintomatologia psicopatológica em adultos. A amostra é constituída por 511 indivíduos com idades entre os 25 e os 50 anos de idade. Para a recolha dos dados recorreu-se ao Questionário de Vinculação ao Pai e à Mãe, Adverse Childhood Experiences Study Questionnaire e Brief Symptom Inventory. Os resultados sugerem que a qualidade da vinculação aos pais e as experiências adversas na infância são relevantes na predição de sintomatologia psicopatológica (depressão, somatização e ansiedade). Os resultados serão analisados à luz da teoria da vinculação, considerando a importância das experiências adversas na infância na compreensão dos processos psicopatológicos na adultícia.
