Escala de Avaliação das Estratégias Sociais: Um estudo de validação com crianças em idade pré-escolar

Margarida Fialho, Cecília Aguiar

Abstract


A Escala de Avaliação das Estratégias Sociais (EAES; Aguiar, 2007) destina-se a avaliar as estratégias sociais específicas que as crianças em idade pré-escolar utilizam nas tarefas sociais de entrada no grupo de pares, manutenção do jogo e resolução de conflitos. Neste estudo, avaliamos as características psicométricas dos dados obtidos com a EAES e com o Sistema de Avaliação das Competências Sociais (SSRS; Gresham & Elliott, 1990) em 349 crianças Portuguesas em idade pré-escolar. Internamente consistentes, correlacionadas com uma medida estabelecida de competência social, e com algumas variações em função do sexo e idade das crianças, as estratégias sociais de Manutenção do jogo, Iniciação harmoniosa, Iniciação ativa e Resolução de conflitos poderão relevar-se úteis para a investigação sobre relações entre pares.
