Resumo.A violência na conjugalidade é tema de grande relevância em diferentes contextos, dada a magnitude da prevalência em todo o mundo. O presente estudo, quantitativo, teve o objetivo de descrever a violência no casal, bem como analisar possíveis correlações com variáveis sociodemográ-fi cas. Participaram 186 casais (n= 372), residentes da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre (RS), casados ofi cialmente ou em coabitação, selecionados por conveniência, caracterizando uma amostragem por "bola de neve". Para a coleta de dados, foram utilizados um questionário de dados sociodemográfi cos e a Revised Confl ict Tactics Scale (CTS-2), para identifi cação das diferentes expressões de violência entre cônjuges. Foram realizadas análises estatísticas inferenciais descritivas, para verifi car o comportamento das variáveis. Dentre os principais resultados, destacam-se a prevalência de 2,74% de coerção sexual grave cometida pelos homens e de 86,59% de agressão psicológica cometida pelas mulheres. Os resultados obtidos corroboram estudos anteriores, que afi rmam que homens exercem predominantemente a violência sexual, ao passo que mulheres usam preponderantemente a agressão psicológica. Destaca-se maior prevalência da violência em casais jovens, economicamente menos favorecidos, com menores níveis de religiosidade e que somente moram juntos, não tendo ofi cializado a união. Conclui-se que a violência é um fenômeno de grande complexidade, que exige atenção dos profi ssionais de saúde. Palavras-chave: conjugalidade, violência, violência conjugal.Abstract. Marital violence is a very important topic in diff erent contexts, given its high prevalence worldwide. The aim of the present quantitative study was to describe violent marital relationships and analyze correlations with sociodemographic variables. 186 couples (N=372) participated in this study. All couples reside in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre (RS), are offi cially married or live together. Snowball sampling was used to select the subjects. A sociodemographic questionnaire was used to collect data, as well as the Revised Confl ict Tactics Scale (CTS-2), to identify the diff erent expressions of violence within the marital relationship.

The educational level variable had a positive and light association with the psychological domain, whereas the variable occupation had a negative and light association with the death and dying facet.

The Internet offers many opportunities for people to connect and socialize. In this sense, it provides these people a way of contacting each others, which favors the establishment of new relationships, but also of infidelity. This study aims to investigate the conceptions of infidelity among Internet users who were in romantic relationships mediated by the Internet and romantic relationships that are not mediated by the Internet. The study
Love is one of the most desired feelings by human beings. According to the triangular theory of love, it is composed of three elements: intimacy, passion and decision/commitment, which constitutes a dimension related to the quality of love the partners perceive in their relationship. This study aims to compare the three elements of love and marital quality of 86 Internet users (43 in a relationship mediated by the Internet and 43 with a physical relationship). The results indicate that there is a significant difference in the intimacy, the decision/commitment and the whole dimension of love, as well as in the marital quality between partners who have a relationship mediated by Internet and the ones in a physical relationship. We can conclude that the Internet is a great tool for people to meet, but that it is important for the relationship to develop in a face-to-face context.
O objetivo deste estudo quantitativo foi descrever o perfil discriminante entre relacionamentos amorosos mediados pela internet e relacionamentos amorosos não mediados por esta de 86 participantes. As variáveis que discriminaram os grupos foram decisão/compromisso, paixão, intimidade, satisfação, tempo geral de uso diário de internet, tempo diário de uso de internet direcionado para manter contato social e problemas conjugais. A internet tem sido utilizada para contatos amorosos, porém os resultados deste estudo indicam que ela serve essencialmente como meio para aproximar pessoas que talvez nunca se encontrassem sem esse recurso; contudo, sugere-se que a continuidade do relacionamento depende do encontro presencial.
