El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo explorar el significado que una muestra de adolescentes y adolescentes tardios del sur de Italia atribuye a las funciones familiares, para analizar la relacion entre la percepcion de las transformaciones de las funciones paternas y maternas .en particular la carencia de roles normativos y de contencion afectiva. y la agresividad como modalidad preferencial de gestion del conflicto. Se aplico un diferencial semantico (DF, De Rosa, Parrello, & Sommantico, 2006) y un instrumento de agresividad, adaptado a poblacion europea (AQ, Buss & Perry, 1992, 2003) a 259 sujetos, de edad comprendida entre los 17 y los 35 anos, divididos en dos grupos, 139 de bachillerato y 120 de licenciatura. Los resultados del analisis del DF indicaron un perfil monofactorial, a diferencia del trifactorial obtenido por Osgood, Suci y Tannembaum (1957), mientras que en el AQ se encontraron diferencias significativas entre la media de la agresividad general (�Ì=2,73) y factores del instrumento como agresividad verbal (�Ì=3,29), la rabia (�Ì=2,86) y hostilidad (�Ì=2,86). Se concluye que las cualidades de tamano y seguridad le son atribuidas especificamente a la madre, y que el nivel de agresividad verbal supera el indice de agresividad general.
The main objective of this study was to explore the meaning attributed to family functions by a sample of adolescents and late adolescents of the southern part of Italy. Accomplishing this objective permitted to understand the relationship between the perception of the transformations in both paternal and maternal functions �specifically the lack of normative roles and of affective containment- and aggressiveness as the most preferable manner to deal with conflict. A semantic differential (DF, De Rosa, Parrello and Sommantico, 2006) and an instrument for measuring aggressiveness, adapted for the European population (AQ Buss and Perry, 1992, 2003) was applied to 259 participants, ranging from 17 to 35 years old; participants were divided in two groups, 139 of them in high school and the other 120 in college.
The results of the DF analysis indicated a monofactorial profile, different from the trifactorial profile obtained by Osgood, Suci, & Tannembaum (1957). In the AQ analysis, significant differences between the average of general aggressiveness (î = 2,73) and other factors evaluated by the aggressiveness instrument were found, such as verbal aggression (î =3,29), anger (î =2,86) and hostility (î=2,86). It is concluded that the qualities of size and security could be attributed specifically to the mother, and that the level of verbal aggression goes beyond any other index of general aggression.
