“…Research has also shown that victims of IPV may engage in unhealthy behaviors, such as using tobacco, drugs and alcohol, and may exhibit antisocial behaviors ( Roberts et al, 2003 ; Exner-Cortens et al, 2013 ; Foshee et al, 2013 ; Gilmore et al, 2016 ) and eating disorders ( Ackard and Neumark-Sztainer, 2002 ; Sharp and Keyton, 2016 ). Additionally, many of those adverse consequences may extend into adulthood and increase the likelihood of establishing violent relationships later in life ( Sunday et al, 2011 ; Turanovic and Pratt, 2015 ).…”

Reconstruction of Autobiographical Memories of Violent Sexual-Affective Relationships Through Scientific Reading on Love: A Psycho-Educational Intervention to Prevent Gender Violence

Violence in sexual-affective relationships among teens and young people is recognized as a social, educational, and health problem that has increased worldwide in recent years. Educational institutions, as central developmental contexts in adolescence, are key in preventing and responding to gender violence through implementing successful actions. In order to scientifically support that task, the research reported in this article presents and discusses a psycho-educational intervention focused on autobiographical memory reconstruction that proved to be successful in raising young women’s critical consciousness about the force of the coercive discourse upon sexual-affective experiences and memories. We examined among a sample of young women (n = 32, age range 17–30) whether reading a scholarly text about love, the Radical Love book, modified autobiographical memories of violent sexual-affective relationships in line with preventing future victimization. This group was compared with a control group (n = 31, age range 17–30). Memory reports were collected before and after the reading and coded to analyze their content, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Memory quality features were assessed with the Memory Quality Questionnaire (MMQ). A focus group was also conducted to examine the personal impact of the intervention on participants. Compared with controls, the experimental group had stronger critical memories (of episodes involving violence), an average decrease in positive emotions induced by recall, and an average increase in negative emotions. The results show the effectiveness of the reading intervention designed in relation to gender violence prevention, as they indicate the ability of the psycho-educational action to debilitate the force of the coercive discourse in young women’s memories. The findings both advance knowledge on the reconstructive nature of autobiographical memories of violent sexual-affective relationships in female youth and indicate the potential of memory-based interventions as an instrument to prevent and reduce gender violence in school contexts. Teachers and teaching staff, and educational psychologists, among others, can benefit from these results by expanding the tools they have to address gender violence among female adolescents and youth.

“…At the psychological level, research has reported a higher risk of the victims experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety (Ackard et al, 2007;Exner-Cortens et al, 2013) and suicidal ideation (Ely et al, 2011;Exner-Cortens et al, 2013), among other disorders. Unhealthy behaviors such as using tobacco, drugs, and alcohol (Roberts et al, 2003;Exner-Cortens et al, 2013) or suffering from eating disorders (Ackard and Neumark-Sztainer, 2002;Sharp and Keyton, 2016) are found to be among the most common consequences in terms of habit disorders. At the educational level, there is evidence that demonstrates a higher risk of gender-based violence victimization during college among those who have suffered from IPV (Smith et al, 2003) and a decline in academic performance or increase in the dropout rate (Banyard and Cross, 2008;Holmes and Sher, 2013).…”

“…Það kemur því ekki á óvart að rannsóknir sýni að fjöldi (ungra) kvenna er óánaegður með holdafar sitt og sér líkamann sem fyrirstöðu að velgengni í ástarsamböndum (Elias og Gill, 2018). Jafnframt hefur komið fram að því meira sem þaer leggja upp úr rómantískri hugmyndafraeði, því óánaegðari eru þaer með líkama sína (Sharp og Keyton, 2016). Margt bendir til þess að áhyggjur þeirra eigi við rök að styðjast (Smith, Waldorf og Trembath, 1990).…”

Markmið þessarar rannsóknar var að greina hugmyndir ungra kvenna (18-24 ára) um vaegi holdafars í tengslum við stefnumót. Fraeðilega sjónarhornið er femíniskur póststrúktúralismi en gagna var af lað með sögulokaaðferð þar sem þátttakendur fengu upphaf að sögu sem þeir voru beðnir um að ljúka. Þátttakendur fengu ýmist söguupphaf þar sem söguhetja, sem var að fara á stefnumót, hafði grennst eða fitnað. Alls voru 72 sögur þemagreindar. Í sögum þátttakenda voru póstfemíniskar hugmyndir áberandi en fjögur þemu voru greind: (1) Líkaminn má ekki valda (honum) vonbrigðum. Þar kom fram að grannir líkamar hafa meira virði en feitir á vettvangi stefnumótamenningar og að það sé á ábyrgð sögupersónunnar að tryggja að virði hans sé sem mest.(2) Sjálfstraust og líðan tengist ánaegju sögupersónu með útlit sitt. Í því þema kom fram að tilhugsunin um að fitna eða vera feit fyllti sögupersónuna kvíða og óöryggi. Þegar hún grenntist einkenndust sögurnar aftur á móti af gleði og aukinni eftirvaentingu fyrir stefnumótinu. Nokkrar sögur greindu einnig frá vonleysi sögupersónunnar þegar hún áttaði sig á því að sama hversu mikið hún grenntist þá var það aldrei nóg. (3) Líkaminn og sjálfið sem verkefni. Í því þema kom fram að vinnan og eftirlitið með líkamanum er stöðugt ferli og ekki haegt að slá slöku við. (4) Andóf gegn útlitskröfum felst í að taka líkamann í sátt. Í því þema mátti greina andóf gagnvart ríkjandi útlitskröfum, sérstaklega í sögum þar sem sögupersónan hafði fitnað. Áhersla var lögð á að gefa ríkjandi hugmyndum langt nef og taka líkama sinn í sátt. Rannsóknin gefur innsýn í f lókin tengsl ungra kvenna við menningarbundnar hugmyndir um líkamann og hversu mikillar vinnu við líkamann kvenleikinn krefst af þeim. Hún sýnir einnig hversu gagnleg sögulokaaðferðin er til að fá innsýn í kynjaðar menningarbundnar hugmyndir og þau tök sem þaer hafa á ungum konum.
