Este estudo visa aprofundar o conhecimento sist?mico, relativamente ? problem?tica do comportamento anti-social numa perspectiva do seu funcionamento familiar. Procur?mos compreender a exist?ncia ou n?o de comportamentos anti-sociais e delinquentes nos subsistemas filiais de fam?lias disfuncionais, de uma comunidade socialmente conotada como estando associada ? criminalidade. Em termos metodol?gicos utiliz?mos o question?rio sociodemogr?fico (Correia, 2009), a FACES II ? escala de avalia??o da adaptabilidade e da coes?o familiar (Olson et al., 1981) e a escala do comportamento anti-social e delinquente (Formiga & Gouveia, 2005). Os instrumentos de an?lise foram aplicados a 30 fam?lias, que revelaram maioritariamente ter um n?vel de coes?o separada, uma adaptabilidade flex?vel, correspondendo a um tipo de fam?lia meio-termo. No entanto, uma an?lise individual dos resultados revela que um maior n?mero de elementos percepciona a fam?lia ao n?vel da coes?o como desmembrada, ao n?vel da adaptabilidade como flex?vel, e ao n?vel do tipo de fam?lia como extrema, indicando-nos que diferentes elementos percepcionam de forma diferente o funcionamento do seu sistema familiar. Relativamente aos comportamentos anti-sociais e delinquentes, um n?mero consider?vel de elementos afirma praticar comportamentos anti-sociais, sendo o n?mero de pr?ticas delinquentes inferior. Apesar de n?o existir um n?mero elevado de fam?lias extremas, conclu?mos que os elementos que pertencem a fam?lias tendencialmente disfuncionais, praticam maioritariamente comportamentos anti-sociais e delinquentes, sendo que os primeiros prevalecem relativamente aos segundos. /
The aim of this study is to deepen the systemic knowledge, as far as antisocial behaviour issues are concerned, in a family functioning perspective. We aimed to understand the existence or not of antisocial and delinquent behaviours in the sub systems of non functional families, from a community socially labelled as being associated to crime. In order to reach our goals we used, in methodology terms, the socio demographic questionnaire (Correia, 2009), the FACES II ? family adaptability and cohesion evaluation scale (Olson et al., 1981) and the antisocial and delinquent behaviour scales (Formiga & Gouveia, 2005). The materials used in our analysis were applied to 30 families. The majority of people interviewed showed to have a separate level of cohesion, a flexible adaptability, corresponding to an mid-range type of family. However, a closer and individual analysis of the results showed that a great number of people sees their family as disengaged, in terms of cohesion, flexible, concerning adaptability, and extreme, as far as family type is concerned. This analysis lets us know that different family members have different points of view about their families functioning systems. As far as antisocial and delinquent behaviours are concerned, we learned that a considerable number of people admited to have antisocial behaviours, but few mentioned to have delinquent habits. Although the number of extreme families is not very high, we assumed that people who belong to non functional families mostly have antisocial and delinquent behaviours, being the first in a greater scale than the second ones.
