Violencia en El Noviazgo: Análisis Sobre Su Direccionalidad, Percepción, Aceptación, Consideración De Gravedad Y Búsqueda De Apoyo

Abstract

Bidirectionality of dating violence is an issue that still requires more study in order to better understanding, therefore this research aimed to describe the direction, self-perception, acceptance and seriousness of violent behaviors, as well as help-seeking by adolescents in case of experiencing violence in their relationship. 785 Mexican adolescents between the ages of 13 and 19 participated. The results highlighted a higher prevalence of bidirectional violence and a low percentage of adolescents perceive themselves as victims and perpetrators of violence. Besides, it should be noted that isolation control and severe direct violence were more accepted by men compared to women, while indirect verbal, isolation control and severe direct violence were considered more serious by women than by men. Finally, it was identified that the mother is usually the main support network for both sexes, although women, with a profile of only victims of violence and bidirectional violence, pointed out to their friends. In conclusion, it is necessary to continue delving into the aspects addressed in the bidirectional nature of violence and the search for support, all for the sake of actions more contextualized to the problem.

Jealousy, sexism, and romantic love myths: the role of beliefs in online dating violence

“…Future research should consider clarifying whether the proposed model presents possible differential effects by gender, given that there are discrepancies in the results obtained in this area, with more severe consequences evidenced in the female gender ( Stonard, 2021 ), as well as a higher probability of being identified as victims ( Taquette and Monteiro, 2019 ). Likewise, studies in this regard highlight that dating violence is more prevalent because it is exercised in a bidirectional manner ( Rojas-Solís and Romero-Méndez, 2022 ), an aspect that requires further study, inviting the development of comparative analyzes of both perpetration and victimization of dating violence.…”

Instruments used to measure dating violence: A systematic review of psychometric properties

“…The dimension that reported the lowest values for Cronbach's alpha estimates was the sexual dimension with values between .28–.56 (CADRI, CADRI/Spanish Version, CADRI/Mexican Version, CTS2, CTS2/Argentine Version). The lower scores in this dimension could be justified because sexual violence is the least prevalent (Rojas‐Solís & Romero‐Méndez, 2022), and participants scored very low on behaviours related to this dimension, reaching in some studies a ground effect. This ground effect indicates little variability and negatively affects the values of internal consistency and other psychometric properties (Brown, 2015).…”

“…In relation to the prevalence of DV, psychological violence shows higher incidence rates compared to physical and sexual violence (Rojas-Solís & Romero-Méndez, 2022), where adolescents show rates of violence slightly higher than young people, both for perpetration and victimization (Rubio-Garay et al, 2015).…”

Violencia en el noviazgo en estudiantes universitarios: validación de la escala DVQ-VP en Bolivia

“…In this sense, one of the limitations of this study is the population with which it was worked: university students with a relationship in the last twelve months, and their self-report being the only data available. Therefore, given the bidirectional nature of dat-ing violence (Herrero-Olaizola et al, 2020;Riesgo et al, 2019;Rojas-Solís & Romero-Méndez, 2022;Rubio-Garay et al, 2017;Rubio-Garay et al, 2012), working with both members of the couple simultaneously would be more fruitful and would allow a better evaluation of the role of intention behind the behaviors and their interpretation, depending on whether role of victim or aggressor, mainly in the case of violence by detachment and coercion. In addition, another factor that could be linked to the interpretation of one's own behavior as violent or not, could be its justification, based on mechanisms of moral disconnection (Rubio-Garay et al, 2019), mediating along with the level of detachment regarding the intensity and frequency of the violence, as we tried to improve the adaptation of the items by introducing the use of the radio or letters in the reagents, as well as thinking of the digital era that currently prevails by changing the radio by music (currently there can be various devices linked to this activity) and letters to all instant messaging and any formal means (such as email or social networks).…”
