Transmissão intergeracional de práticas educativas parentais: evidências empíricas

This study investigated the transmission between generations of childrearing practices of 30 mothers and 22 fathers, whose first child was 3 years old. Participants were interviewed about childrearing practices they had themselves received from their parents and those they used with their children. Quantitative and content analyses were realized with childrearing practices categorized as inductive, coercive and non-interfering. Results showed continuity of received practices, whether they were inductive, coercive or non-interfering, as well as changes in the used practices due to characteristics of the couple or the child. Childrearing practices seem to comprise a dynamic process between parents and children, with a nonlinear transmission between generations, and affected by factors other than reproduction of learned patterns.

Reprodução assistida e relação conjugal durante a gravidez e após o nascimento do bebê: uma revisão da literatura

Resumo A chegada de um bebe inicia um periodo de desafios e mudancas para o casal. Quando a gravidez e alcancada a partir da reproducao assistida, soma-se aos desafios ja caracteristicos desse periodo o impacto das experiencias proprias a esse contexto. Neste trabalho, sao revisadas e discutidas pesquisas que investigaram a relacao de casais que recorreram a reproducao assistida, durante a gravidez e os dois primeiros anos do bebe. A revisao da literatura indica semelhancas entre esses casais e aqueles que conceberam naturalmente. No entanto, essas pesquisas tendem a basear-se na avaliacao de variaveis especificas, como as relacionadas a satisfacao conjugal e a caracteristicas sociodemograficas, bem como pela ausencia de um enfoque desenvolvimental que investigue a historia previa desse casal e suas familias de origem. Esse enfoque, aliado a uma abordagem que privilegie a descricao das experiencias desses casais, poderia contribuir para a compreensao desse contexto. Palavras-chave: reproducao assistida; relacao conjugal; gravidez; parentalidade.
