O presente estudo aborda a associação entre a percepção sobre a aparência física e a amizade íntima, considerando-os como um factor de importante valor preditivo no desenvolvimento psicossocial de adolescentes. Um grupo de alunos matriculados no 12.º Ano de Escolaridade, foi inquirida através da aplicação directa de um Questionário contendo as seguintes escalas de medida: Escala de Amizade Íntima – Intimate Friendship Scale (Sharabany, 1994), Escala de Percepção de Auto conceito – The self-perception profile for college students (Neemann & Harter, 1986) adaptada para a população portuguesa (Ribeiro, 1994) e Notação Social Familiar – Graffar Adaptado, adaptada do original (Graffar, 1956). Os valores de Amizade Íntima são mais elevados no sexo feminino e os valores de Percepção sobre a Aparência Física, mais elevados no sexo masculino. Os valores da Percepção sobre a Aparência Física sugerem-nos uma valorização diferente, entre sexos, dos aspectos do auto-conceito físico e da amizade íntima na adaptação social e pessoal de adolescentes.

150 selected occupants of university residence hall rooms accommodating three students in space designed for only two were compared with 150 selected occupants of rooms accommodating two students in space designed for two. All responded to The Student Life Event Questionnaire and The Self-perception Assessment. Responses by occupants of triple-occupancy rooms had lower mean self-perception scores than the others.

Abstract. Two experiments examined the influence of stories on recipients’ self-perceptions. Extending prior theory and research, our focus was on assimilation effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in line with a protagonist’s traits) as well as on contrast effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in contrast to a protagonist’s traits). In Experiment 1 ( N = 113), implicit and explicit conscientiousness were assessed after participants read a story about either a diligent or a negligent student. Moderation analyses showed that highly transported participants and participants with lower counterarguing scores assimilate the depicted traits of a story protagonist, as indicated by explicit, self-reported conscientiousness ratings. Participants, who were more critical toward a story (i.e., higher counterarguing) and with a lower degree of transportation, showed contrast effects. In Experiment 2 ( N = 103), we manipulated transportation and counterarguing, but we could not identify an effect on participants’ self-ascribed level of conscientiousness. A mini meta-analysis across both experiments revealed significant positive overall associations between transportation and counterarguing on the one hand and story-consistent self-reported conscientiousness on the other hand.
