Resumo

O objetivo do presente estudo é analisar em que medida os conflitos de lealdade e a triangulação a uma das figuras parentais medeiam a associação entre a perceção de conflitos inter-parentais e o processo de individuação de jovens adultos. Adicionalmente, pretende-se testar se as dimensões positivas da relação parental moderam a associação antes mencionada. Os participantes são 538 jovens adultos portugueses entre os 18 e os 30 anos de idade, de ambos os géneros. Os resultados foram analisados à luz do paradigma da vinculação e da formação da identidade sugerindo que, para ambas as figuras parentais, a coligação medeia o efeito dos conflitos inter-parentais na individuação dos jovens.
