Abstract(s)
A investigação cientĂfica sobre a violĂȘncia na intimidade (VI) entre pessoas do mesmo sexo, em Portugal, tem estado maioritariamente centrada no estudo da prevalĂȘncia e na caracterização da violĂȘncia. Os dois estudos apresentados nesta dissertação pretendem analisar a VI entre pessoas do mesmo sexo atravĂ©s de uma perspetiva de gĂ©nero, com o intuito do perceber se, e de que forma, o gĂ©nero ou os papĂ©is a si associados desempenham um papel importante nestas relaçÔes de intimidade abusivas. No primeiro artigo apresenta-se um estudo de natureza teĂłrica em que, atravĂ©s de uma revisĂŁo sistemĂĄtica da literatura, foram selecionados sete artigos, de um total de 418 artigos encontrados em quatro bases de dados eletrĂłnicas (B-on; PubMed; Sage e PsycInfo). Da anĂĄlise desses artigos foram encontradas quatro grandes ĂĄreas em que o gĂ©nero desempenha um papel importante na VI entre pessoas do mesmo sexo: normalização da violĂȘncia; reconhecimento da violĂȘncia; dificuldade em pedir ajuda e isolamento social. No segundo artigo apresentam-se os resultados de um estudo de natureza qualitativa, em que foram entrevistadas cinco pessoas (quatro mulheres e um homem), que se autoidentificam como vĂtimas. Da anĂĄlise de conteĂșdo dos dados recolhidos nas entrevistas, resultaram quatro grandes categorias nas quais o gĂ©nero desempenha um papel importante: papĂ©is de gĂ©nero assumidos pelos elementos do casal; abandono da relação; procura de ajuda e linguagem utilizada pelas/os participantes. AtravĂ©s dos resultados obtidos nos dois estudos, concluiu-se que mais do que na violĂȘncia em si, o gĂ©nero e os papĂ©is que lhe estĂŁo associados tĂȘm impacto na forma como os elementos do casal vivenciam a experiĂȘncia abusiva e na forma como terceiros (e.g. familiares; amigos/as; profissionais do sistema de justiça ou dos serviços de apoio a vĂtimas) a percecionam.
Portuguese research in same-sex intimate partner violence (SSIPV) has been focused in the study of prevalence and characterization of violence. The purpose of both studies presented on this paper is to examine SSIPV with a specific focus on the effects of gender and gender-role expectations. In the first article, through a systematic literature review, from a total of 418 articles found on four electronic databases (B-on; PubMed; Sage, and PsycInfo), seven were selected for analysis. Four major domains in which gender and gender-role expectations affect SSIPV were found: normalizing violence; recognizing violence; help-seeking and social isolation. In the second article are presented the results of a qualitative study in which five participants (four female and one male) self-identified as victims were interviewed. From the content analysis of the data resulted four major categories in which gender and gender-role expectations affect SSIPV: gender-roles performed by each element of the couple; decision to leave the abusive relationship; help-seeking and in the vocabulary used by participants. From the results of both studies it was possible to conclude that more than affecting the dynamic of violence, gender and gender-role expectations affect the way victims understand their experiences of SSIPV and the perceptions of others (e.g. family members, friends, social practitioners, law enforcement agents, etc.).
