“…High indicators of ODA are also found in the present study, in accordance with other Portuguese, e.g., [ 31 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 41 ] and international [ 24 , 34 ] studies on this subject. Control ODA and verbal–emotional ODA were the most reported abusive typologies, either in terms of perpetration (20.8 and 20.2%, respectively) or in terms of victimization (31.8 and 27.7%, respectively), also corroborating the results of other international, e.g., [ 29 , 53 , 56 , 57 ] and Portuguese, e.g., [ 31 , 37 , 41 ] studies.…”

“…As is happening in other European countries (e.g., France, Germany or Spain) [ 33 ], Portuguese studies have documented high rates of dating violence among adolescents and young people, e.g., [ 35 , 36 , 37 ]. In a Portuguese study by Guerreiro et al [ 41 ], carried out with a sample of 2500 young people aged 12 to 18 years, 7% of the participants acknowledged having suffered ODA at least once, and psychological violence emerged as the most prevalent form of violence (8.5%), followed by physical violence (5%) and by sexual violence (4.5%).…”

“…In this same study, 58% of the young people studied admitted having suffered at least one form of violence and 67% of the total of young people inquired legitimized at least one behaviour of violence. Although there are other abusive behaviours in intimate interactions, such as relational, verbal–emotional [ 16 ], controlling and fear/intimidation behaviours [ 43 ], it may be stated that physical, psychological and sexual violence are the three types of abuse that are most commonly reported in the studied research, e.g., [ 32 , 35 , 36 ]. In the context of dating relationships, adolescents and young adults tend to experience and perpetrate more than one type of violence (e.g., psychological and sexual violence) in the same or different situations [ 44 ].…”

The increasing use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and networking has promoted the occurrence of different forms of victimization, specifically in terms of interpersonal interaction (e.g., cyberbullying or online risk-taking behaviour), which also includes cyber dating abuse (CDA). Some studies report that CDA is an extension of offline dating abuse (ODA). Because Portuguese studies in this area are scarce, this study aims to bridge this knowledge gap, seeking to investigate the extent and the context of CDA occurrence, and the relationship between CDA and all forms of ODA, i.e., physical, verbal–emotional and control. A convenience sample of 173 Portuguese adolescents and young adults was studied. This sample is mostly female (86.7%), has a mean (M) age of 25.36 years old and a standard deviation (SD) of 6.88 years of age. The results show that CDA and ODA among the Portuguese are very prevalent and related. Control (31.8 vs. 20.8%) and verbal–emotional ODA (26.7 vs. 20.2%) as well as control CDA (38.2 vs. 43.4%) were the most prevalent forms of abuse, either in terms of victimization or in terms of perpetration. The results also showed that CDA usually appears in a context of jealousy, also explaining control CDA and CDA direct aggression. A significant relationship between control CDA and CDA direct aggression and physical, verbal–emotional and control ODA was found. Experiencing control and verbal–emotional ODA are the main risk factors of control CDA victimization. This study allows to lay the groundwork for further research on dating victimization and perpetration through ICT, and has important practical implications at the level of Portuguese prevention strategies and intervention policies, thus emphasizing the role of the official authorities and the law itself.

“…Intimate partner violence is currently a significant social problem in Portugal (e.g., Neves & Nogueira, 2010;Neves et al, 2016). Empirical evidence and statistical data suggest that Portuguese teenagers often experience violence in intimate relationships and that both secondary and university students are particularly vulnerable to victimization (Caridade, 2011;Caridade & Machado, 2013;Machado, Caridade, & Martins, 2010;Machado, Macieira, & Carreiras, 2010;Machado, Matos, & Moreira, 2003;Paiva & Figueiredo, 2004;Saavedra, 2011).…”

This research sought to determine the prevalence of intimate partner violence, characterize attitudes toward violence, analyse relations between perceptions of intimate partner acceptance-rejection and practices of violence and examine relations between intimate partner acceptance-rejection and beliefs and attitudes toward intimate partner violence among Cape Verdean students that lives in Portugal. One hundred and sixteen participants, aged 15 to 25 years, from three professional schools, four secondary schools and one university, completed the Scale of Beliefs about Marital Violence, Marital Violence Inventory, Dating Violence Scales and Intimate Partner Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire. Significant positive correlations were found between beliefs about marital violence, dating violence attitudes and intimate partner rejection. Regressions showed intimate partner rejection predicted marital violence beliefs and dating violence attitudes.

Assim, no contexto português, um dos primeiros estudos conduzidos, e que inquiriu 4.665 jovens (Machado et al, 2010), apurou que um/a em cada quatro jovens já experienciou pelo menos um episódio de violência no namoro ao longo da vida.…”

Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo sistematizar o conhecimento produzido sobre o pedido de ajuda em adolescentes e jovens adultos que experienciaram violência no namoro, através da identificação e análise dos estudos empíricos realizados neste âmbito. Métodos: Para tal adotámos os procedimentos para a realização de uma revisão sistemática dos estudos centrados nos comportamentos de pedido de ajuda em vítimas de violência no namoro. Resultados: Foram identificados 18 estudos com enfoque nos comportamentos de pedido de ajuda por parte dos/as adolescentes e jovens adultos vítimas de violência no namoro. A grande maioria dos estudos constatou que as vítimas revelam uma preferência pelo recurso a fontes de revelação informais, privilegiando os pares. As vítimas de sexo feminino surgiram como as que demonstraram uma maior tendência para a revelação do abuso íntimo, surgindo ainda como as expectadoras que prestam mais suporte e apoio às vítimas. Foram, ainda, identificadas múltiplas barreiras à revelação da experiência abusiva por parte dos/as participantes (e.g., legitimação da violência, medo de perder o/a parceiro/a, vergonha e autossuficiência para resolver a situação). Conclusões: Consideramos que a investigação neste domínio deverá procurar incluir outras amostras, estudos de continuidade, beneficiando de uma maior uniformização no tipo de instrumentos usados para efetuar a recolha de dados.
