Abstract
A investigação sobre a motivação para a intervenção e a perceção de suporte à
autonomia tem mostrado que estas variáveis exercem uma influência significativa nos
processos e resultados da intervenção. Contudo, a exploração destas variáveis no
contexto da intervenção vocacional tem sido escassa. O presente estudo pretende
contribuir para esta linha de investigação, procurando avaliar a relação entre as formas
de motivação para a intervenção vocacional em contexto escolar e o suporte à
autonomia proporcionado pelo/a psicólogo/a nessa mesma intervenção, identificando
grupos de indivíduos homogéneos entre si, em termos do seu funcionamento nestas
variáveis. Espera-se, ainda, explorar a forma como a relação destas variáveis influencia
o processo de intervenção em termos de aliança com o/a psicólogo/a e mudanças
percebidas, bem como os resultados de exploração e de identidade vocacional.
Participaram neste estudo 139 alunos do 9º ano de escolaridade de uma instituição de
ensino privado no norte do país (46.8% do sexo feminino), com idades compreendidas
entre os 13 e os 15 anos (M = 14.09, DP = .31). A análise de clusters permitiu a
identificação de três perfis de estudantes diferenciados nas suas características, o que
mostra que a relação entre as variáveis estudadas não é homogénea em todos os alunos.
Existem diferenças significativas entre clusters de alunos nas variáveis de avaliação
subjetiva do processo de intervenção vocacional e seus resultados. Desta forma, é
evidente a necessidade de se distinguir os alunos nos vários níveis de motivação e na
perceção de suporte à autonomia no contexto da intervenção vocacional. Face aos
resultados obtidos, são apresentadas algumas reflexões para a investigação futura e
implicações ao nível psicoeducacional.
Research about the motivation for intervention and the perception of autonomy support has shown that these variables significantly influence intervention processes and results. However, the exploration of these variables in the context of career interventions has been scarce. The present study aims to contribute to this line of research, evaluating the relationship between motivational forms for career interventions at school and the autonomy support provided by the psychologist in these interventions, and identifying groups of homogeneous individuals in terms of their performance in these variables. We also aim to explore how the relationship between these variables influences the intervention process in terms of the working alliance with the psychologist and perceived changes, as well as the results of exploration and vocational identity. Thirtynine students from the 9th-grade of a private educational institution in the north of the Portugal (46.8% females), aged 13 to 15 years (M = 14.09, SD = .31) participated in this study. The cluster analysis allowed to identify three different profiles of students, which shows that the relation between the studied variables is not homogeneous in all the students. There are significant differences among clusters of students in the subjective evaluation of the vocational intervention processes and its results. Therefore, there is an evident need to distinguish students in the various levels of motivation for intervention and in their perception of autonomy support in the context of career interventions. Considering these findings, we present some suggestions for future research and psychoeducational implications for intervention.
