Resumo

Compartilhar, ler e responder a narrativas pessoais em sites de apoio entre pares tanto pode fortalecer como ameaçar a confiança dos adolescentes para enfrentar eventos estressantes (ou seja, a autoeficácia como estratégia de enfrentamento). Os princípios da escrita expressiva, o intercâmbio social de emoções, a persuasão narrativa e os efeitos sobre os próprios participantes podem fornecer uma visão de como essas ações podem se relacionar com a autoeficácia como estratégia de enfrentamento. Por meio de uma pesquisa transversal online com 311 adolescentes falantes de holandês com idades entre 14 e 18 anos, este artigo explora como essas ações e motivos de apoio social (ou seja, busca de informação e de apoio emocional) estão relacionados com a autoeficácia de adolescentes como estratégia de enfrentamento após utilização do site de apoio entre pares. Os resultados mostram que a experiência dos usuários ao ler e responder as narrativas pessoais não estava relacionada com a sua autoeficácia de enfrentamento. Porém, foi encontrada uma relação negativa entre a experiência de compartilhar uma narrativa pessoal e a autoeficácia, uma vez que os usuários não perceberam que o site foi útil para sua confiança geral ao lidar com eventos estressantes. No entanto, essa relação negativa foi revertida quando eles também tinham o objetivo de encontrar apoio emocional com seus pares.
