Abstract

Abstract Autonomy-connectedness refers to the need and ability the individual has for self-governance, as well as the capacity for intimacy and interpersonal relationships. The present study aimed to examine and compare participants (N=121) of four different cultural groups, namely Portuguese natives as well as Brazilian, British and Ukrainian immigrants residing in Portugal, on the different autonomy-connectedness components (self-awareness: SA; sensitivity to others: SO; capacity for managing new situations: CMNS). It also aimed at investigating the relationship between autonomy-connectedness and acculturation among the groups of immigrants. The results showed significant gender differences and among the cultural groups on SO. Adherence to the heritage culture was associated with the distinct dimensions of autonomy-connectedness differently for the various groups, and time of residence was also key in how the dimensions were endorsed cross time. This study contributes to the theoretical framework of the concept of autonomy-connectedness in light of cross-cultural perspectives.

自主联结、性别与文化:人格功能与社会环境相互作用的比较研究

摘要自主连通性是指个体对自我治理的需求和能力，以及亲密关系和人际关系的能力。本研究旨在检查和比较四个不同文化群体的参与者（N=121），即葡萄牙本地人以及居住在葡萄牙的巴西、英国和乌克兰移民，他们在不同的自主联系组成部分（自我意识：SA；对他人的敏感性：SO；管理新情况的能力：CMNS）上的表现。它还旨在调查移民群体之间的自主联系和文化适应之间的关系。结果显示，在SO上，不同文化群体之间存在显著的性别差异。不同群体对传统文化的坚持与自主联系的不同维度有关，居住时间也是如何跨时间认可这些维度的关键。本研究有助于从跨文化视角构建自主联系概念的理论框架。

期刊介绍： The Portuguese Journal of Social Science is a peer-reviewed cross-disciplinary journal focusing on research about Portuguese society by scholars of any nationality. However, the journal takes a broad view and accepts articles that are not exclusively devoted to the Portuguese case. We particularly welcome comparative studies. While the journal concentrates on research articles it operates a flexible policy in respect of other types of submission, including book reviews.
