Abstract(s)
A Teoria da Autodeterminação é uma abordagem motivacional assente numa meta teoria que
realça a importância dos recursos humanos na autorregulação do seu comportamento. A
satisfação das necessidades psicológicas básicas (autonomia, competência e relacionamento)
influenciam a adoção/ mudança de comportamentos. Quando o sujeito sente que as suas
necessidades estão satisfeitas, consegue ter a perceção das suas competências para
estabelecer e cumprir objetivos, nomeadamente em relação à promoção e prevenção da sua
saúde.
Foi desenvolvido um estudo exploratório com 824 crianças e jovens com idades entre os 9 e os
17 anos, a frequentar os 2º/3º ciclos do ensino particular e cooperativo, dos distritos do
Porto, Aveiro e Coimbra. Foi aplicado um questionário sociodemográfico, a Escala das
Necessidades Básicas versão portuguesa da Balanced Measure of Psychological Needs (BMPN) e
a Escala de Autoeficácia Alimentar Global (EAEAG). Trata-se de um estudo exploratório,
descritivo e correlacional, com o objetivo de investigar a relação entre as necessidades
psicológicas básicas e a autoeficácia alimentar.
Os resultados mostraram que o sexo feminino obteve maior grau de satisfação e frustração da
necessidade de relacionamento quando comparado com o sexo masculino. Em relação à
perceção de autoeficácia, o sexo masculino obteve pontuações mais elevadas. Face à idade, o
grupo das crianças mais velhas destacou-se pelo elevado grau de satisfação de autonomia e
relacionamento. O grupo das crianças mais novas apenas se destacou em relação à perceção
de autoeficácia.
Os resultados obtidos sugerem, como esperado, uma associação positiva entre o grau de
satisfação das necessidades psicológicas e a perceção de autoeficácia. Assim, as alterações
comportamentais acontecem quando o sujeito tem as suas necessidades psicológicas
satisfeitas e tem noção das suas competências perante objetivos que pretende cumprir,
nomeadamente face à adoção de comportamentos de saúde.
The Self-Determination Theory is a motivational approach based on a theory that highlights the importance of human resources in the self-regulation of their behavior. The satisfaction of basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence and relationship) influence the adoption/change of behavior. When the subject feels that their needs are met, he can have the perception of his powers to set and meet goals, particularly in relation to the promotion and prevention of his health. An exploratory study of 824 children aged 9 to 17 years that attended the 2nd / 3rd cycles of private and cooperative education, of the districts of Porto, Aveiro and Coimbra was developed. A sociodemographic questionnaire was made, where the Scale of Basic Needs (Portuguese version of Balanced Measure of Psychological Needs (BMPN)) and the Global Food Self-efficacy Scale (EAEAG) were applied. This is an exploratory, descriptive and correlational study aimed to investigate the relationship between basic psychological needs and food selfefficacy. The results showed that females had higher level of satisfaction and frustration of the need for relatedness when compared to males. Regarding self-efficacy perception, males obtained higher scores. Given the age, the group of older children were highlighted by the high degree of satisfaction of autonomy and relationship. The group of younger children only were highlighted in relation to the perception of self-efficacy. There is a positive association between the degree of satisfaction of psychological needs and the perception of self-efficacy. This indicates that behavioral changes occur when the human being has met his psychological needs and sense of his abilities and skills towards goals he wants to accomplish, namely the adoption of health behaviors.
