O objectivo deste estudo foi verificar se a segurança das representações mentais da relação de vinculação das crianças se correlaciona com um maior conhecimento das emoções, na idade do
pré-escolar. Participaram 176 crianças do distrito de Lisboa, com idades entre os 3 e 5 anos.
Utilizou-se a escala contínua de segurança do Attachment Story Completion Task e o Teste do
Conhecimento das Emoções. Os resultados sugerem que as crianças com modelos internos
seguros apresentam um maior conhecimento das emoções, não havendo influência da capacidade
verbal. Este estudo sugere que crianças com modelos internos seguros experienciam relações
mais calorosas com os seus cuidadores, nas quais é possível partilharem e discutirem
experiências emocionais de forma aberta e suportada permitindo que estas apresentem um maior
conhecimento emocional.
ABSTRACT: The present study aims to clarify the relation between attachment representations and emotional knowledge in preschool children. 176 children from Lisbon participated in the study, they were between 3 and 5 years of age. Quality of attachment representations was assessed with the security scale of Attachment Story Completion Task and emotional knowledge was assessed with the portuguese adaptation of Affect Knowledge Test. Our results suggest that children with secure internal working models show more emotional knowledge. No differences were found regarding verbal ability. These findings suggest that children with secure internal working models experience warmer relationships with their caregivers, sharing and discussing emotional experiences in an open and supported way, allowing for a greater emotional knowledge.
