Abstract(s)
Este estudo desenvolvido no âmbito do Projeto V360º- Violência Interpessoal, Voluntariado e
Bem-Estar Psicológico em Jovens, está focado na relação entre a satisfação com a vida e a
agressão em estudantes universitários. Atendendo à importância que estas variáveis assumem
na vida dos jovens, estabelecemos como objetivo deste estudo fazer uma abordagem
exploratória à possível relação entre as mesmas. Foi ainda possível estudar estas variáveis,
numa perspetiva de comparação de grupos de acordo com algumas variáveis
sociodemográficas como o sexo e a idade.
O número de participantes foi 174, sendo 77% homens (134) e 23% mulheres (40), com idades
compreendidas entre 18 e os 24 anos, com uma média de 20.56. Os instrumentos utilizados na
recolha de dados foram a versão portuguesa da Escala de Satisfação com a Vida (SWLS) de
Simões (1992) e a versão portuguesa do Questionário de Agressão de Buss-Perry (AQ) de Cunha
e Gonçalves (2012), juntamente com um questionário sociodemográfico para caraterização
dos participantes.
Dos resultados obtidos neste estudo para a variável satisfação com a vida é de salientar as
diferenças existentes quando comparados os géneros, sendo que as mulheres apresentam uma
satisfação com a vida ligeiramente mais elevada que os homens. No entanto, no que toca à
variável agressão não encontradas diferenças significativas quando comparados os géneros.
Destacamos ainda a existência de uma relação estatisticamente significativa entre a
satisfação com a vida e a agressão, o que nos leva a concluir que, jovens com um maior nível
satisfação com a vida demonstram um menor nível de agressão, expresso numa correlação
negativa entre as variáveis.

Given the importance that these variables assume in the lives of young people, we established as a goal of this study the use of an exploratory approach to the possible relationship between them. It was also possible to compare these variables with some sociodemographic variables, such as gender and age. The number of participants was 174, being 77% men (134) and 23% women (40), with ages between 18 and 24 years, with a mean of 20.56. The instruments used for the data collection were the portuguese version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) of Simões (1992) and the portuguese version of the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) of Cunha e Gonçalves (2012), along with a sociodemographic questionnaire, that was used to describe the participants. From the obtained results in this study about life satisfaction, it is important to point out the differences between genders, with women having a slightly higher life satisfaction than men. However, regarding the aggression variable, no significant differences were found between genders. We highlight the existence of a statistically significant relationship between life satisfaction and aggression, which means that young people with a higher level of life satisfaction show a lower level of aggressiveness, so the variables express a negative correlation between them.
