Effects of Negative Communication on Family Dynamic and Dating Violence

Abstract

Background/Objective: The dating is a recognized problem of great magnitude and related to the family, a cultural reference in the adaptation of its members; It is relevant to know the educational-communicative relationships that are established to know their effects and act accordingly. The objective is to evaluate a model that incorporates the negative communication schemes used by adolescents and young people in their affective relationships as a possible predictor of abusive behaviors in dating. Method: This research was carried out with 1801 adolescents and young people using an analytical-transversal-explanatory design and implemented the structural equations method (SEM) to test the hypotheses. Results: The prevalence results indicated that it is common for men and women to use violent behaviors against their partner in adolescence and young adulthood, that there are both physical and psychological consequences of dating violence for adolescents and young adults and that the use of negative communication styles to solve problems and the observation of violence between parents was significantly and positively correlated with the use of different types of violence. Conclusions: It is postulated that it is possible to raise children with aggressive behaviour and negative feelings by providing them with learning models of violence that they repeat in their affective and social relationships. RESUMENAntecedentes/Objetivo: La violencia en el noviazgo es un problema reconocido de gran magnitud y relacionado con la familia, referente cultural en la adaptación de sus miembros; resulta relevante conocer las relaciones educativas y comunicativas que se establecen para conocer sus efectos y actuar en consecuencia. El objetivo es evaluar un modelo con esquemas de comunicación negativa utilizados por adolescentes y jóvenes en sus relaciones afectivas como posible predictor de conductas abusivas en el noviazgo. Método: Esta investigación se realizó con 1801 adolescentes y jóvenes utilizando un diseño analítico-transversal-explicativo e implementó el método de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM) para probar las hipótesis. Resultados: Los resultados de prevalencia indicaron que hombres y mujeres usan conductas violentas contra su pareja en la adolescencia y adultez joven, hay consecuencias tanto físicas como psicológicas de la violencia en el noviazgo para adolescentes y adultos jóvenes y el uso de estilos de comunicación negativos para resolver problemas de violencia entre los padres se correlacionó significativa y positivamente con diferentes tipos de violencia. Conclusiones: Se postula que es posible criar hijos con conductas agresivas y sentimientos negativos al proporcionarles modelos de aprendizaje de la violencia que repiten en sus relaciones afectivas y sociales.

Instruments of Child-to-Parent Violence: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

“…Furthermore, this study did not analyze the cultural characteristics and prevalence [58], which would have allowed us to more clearly discriminate the quality of the psychometric instruments. In future research, we intend to quantify the prevalence by country, explore the role of cultural phenomena, and investigate variables related to the independent living skills and autonomy of children who do not commit VFP, as well as different protective and preventive factors [59] and the use of positive conflict resolution strategies [60,61]. Finally, in the meta-analysis, several studies were eliminated for not meeting the criteria of 10 participants per item [62,63].…”

Adaptation of the Coparenting Relationship Scale Questionnaire to Spanish Parents with Offspring

“…Not in vain, the study of coparenting began by examining how the quality of the relationship that parents maintain when they have divorced influences their children [13][14][15][16]. It has been shown that when parents maintain a good relationship, their parental behaviors are positive, and the coparenting is harmonious; in addition to having advantages for themselves, it has clear advantages for their children, directly affecting their physical and psycho-emotional well-being [4,[17][18][19][20][21][22], demonstrating that it is a powerful protective factor [2], for example, against addictions [4]. Often, when parents are separated or divorced, the consequences on their children are negative and contrary to these [2,4,[13][14][15][16].…”

“…Consequently, since the seven factors of the CRS represented four theoretical domains (see Feinberg [9]), Plá confused domains with factors and requested four factors. Plá [37] finally concludes that the factors that make up the dimensional structure of the CRS-r are four, and demonized Support received or Coparenting strength (items 2, 3,6,10,17,19,24,25,26,27,28, and 30 that correspond to the original scales Coparenting Closeness, Coparenting Support and Coparenting Agreement), Exposure to Conflict (for items 24-28, this factor remains fully equivalent to the factor of the original scale of the same name), Agreement-non-sabotage (items 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 21, and 22, which correspond to the original scales Coparenting Agreement and Coparenting Undermining), and Support given or solidarity (items 1,4,5,7,14,18,20,23,31,32,33 that correspond to the original scales Endorse Partner Parenting and Division of Labor-it is necessary to remember that three more items were added to this factor). Item 29 of the original scale appeared unloaded and was the only item that was decided to be eliminated.…”
