Abstract(s)
A violĂȘncia no namoro constitui-se como um fenĂłmeno persistente entre jovens adultos, frequentemente sustentado por crenças socioculturais que contribuem para a sua legitimação e normalização. O presente estudo teve como principal objetivo analisar a relação entre crenças legitimadoras da violĂȘncia conjugal e os comportamentos de vitimização, perpetração e a bidirecionalidade nas relaçÔes Ăntimas. Postulou-se como hipĂłtese geral que jovens adultos com crenças mais legitimadoras da violĂȘncia conjugal apresentam maior propensĂŁo para comportamentos de perpetração, maior frequĂȘncia de vitimização, maior envolvimento em comportamentos abusivos de maior gravidade e padrĂ”es mais acentuados de bidirecionalidade nos conflitos relacionais, com diferenças significativas em função do gĂ©nero e fatores sociodemogrĂĄficos.
A investigação foi conduzida com base numa abordagem quantitativa, de natureza transversal, descritiva e exploratĂłria. A recolha de dados foi realizada atravĂ©s de um questionĂĄrio online, divulgado atravĂ©s de vĂĄrias plataformas online (e.g. redes sociais e listas de emails institucionais), utilizando uma amostragem por conveniĂȘncia. A amostra foi constituĂda por 351 participantes, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 35 anos (M = 24.05; DP = 4.61), dos quais 268 (76.4%) se identificaram com o gĂ©nero feminino, 82 (23.4%) com o gĂ©nero masculino e 1 participante como outro.
A investigação recorreu Ă Escala de Crenças sobre a ViolĂȘncia Conjugal da autoria de Machado & colaboradores (2008), destinada a aferir o grau de concordĂąncia com crenças que legitimam a violĂȘncia nas relaçÔes de intimidade, e Ă Escala de TĂĄticas de Conflito Revisada (CTS-2) traduzida e validada por BĂĄrbara Figueiredo e Carla Paiva (2006) que permitiu identificar comportamentos associados Ă vitimização, perpetração e bidirecionalidade da violĂȘncia.
A anĂĄlise estatĂstica foi realizada com recurso ao software SPSS, versĂŁo 28.0. Procedeu- se Ă verificação da normalidade das variĂĄveis por meio da inspeção da simetria e curtose, complementada com os testes de Kolmogorov-Smirnov e Shapiro-Wilk. Considerando a ausĂȘncia de normalidade na maioria das variĂĄveis, recorreu-se a testes estatĂsticos nĂŁo paramĂ©tricos, nomeadamente testes de Mann-Whitney, testes de Wilcoxon e correlaçÔes de Spearman. Foram ainda conduzidas anĂĄlises descritivas, incluindo frequĂȘncias, mĂ©dias e desvios-padrĂŁo.
Os resultados indicaram que os participantes do sexo masculino evidenciaram uma maior adesĂŁo a crenças legitimadoras da violĂȘncia, bem como uma maior frequĂȘncia de comportamentos de vitimização e de perpetração, sugerindo a presença de um padrĂŁo de violĂȘncia bidirecional. Entre os participantes do sexo masculino e feminino, a negociação surgiu como a tĂĄtica mais reportada, seguindo-se a agressĂŁo psicolĂłgica como a forma de violĂȘncia mais prevalente, enquanto os comportamentos de abuso fĂsico, quer com sequelas ligeiro quer severo, foram, de forma geral, menos frequentes. Verificaram-se ainda associaçÔes estatisticamente significativas entre a aceitação da violĂȘncia e a frequĂȘncia de comportamentos abusivos, confirmando a hipĂłtese de que crenças legitimadoras estĂŁo associadas Ă vitimização e perpetração da violĂȘncia nas relaçÔes de intimidade.
Estes resultados sublinham a importĂąncia do desenvolvimento de estratĂ©gias de prevenção e intervenção direcionadas Ă desconstrução de crenças que sustentam a violĂȘncia nas relaçÔes afetivas, promovendo relaçÔes mais saudĂĄveis e igualitĂĄrias entre os jovens adultos.
Dating violence is a persistent phenomenon among young adults, often sustained by sociocultural beliefs that contribute to its legitimisation and normalisation. The main aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between beliefs that legitimise marital violence and victimisation and perpetration behaviours and bidirectionality in intimate relationships. It was postulated as general hypothesis that young adults with more legitimizing convictions of domestic violence have a greater propensity for perpetration behaviors, a higher frequency of victimization, greater involvement in more serious abusive behaviors and more accentuated patterns of bidirectionality in relational conflicts, with significant differences according to gender and sociodemographic factors. The research was based on a quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive and exploratory approach. Data was collected through an online questionnaire, publicised through various online platforms (e.g. social networks and institutional mailing lists), using convenience sampling. The sample consisted of 351 participants aged between 18 and 35 (M = 24.05; DP = 4.61), of whom 268 (76.4%) identified as female, 82 (23.4%) as male and 1 as other. The research used the Scale of Beliefs about Marital Violence by Machado & collaborators (2008), designed to gauge the degree of agreement with beliefs that legitimise violence in intimate relationships, and the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS-2) translated and validated by BĂĄrbara Figueiredo and Carla Paiva (2006), which made it possible to identify behaviours associated with victimisation, perpetration and bidirectionality of violence. The statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS software, version 28.0. The normality of the variables was checked by inspecting for symmetry and kurtosis, complemented by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests. Given the lack of normality in most of the variables, non-parametric statistical tests were used, namely Mann-Whitney tests, Wilcoxon tests and Spearman correlations. Descriptive analyses were also carried out, including frequencies, means and standard deviations. The results indicated that male participants showed greater adherence to beliefs that legitimise violence, as well as a greater frequency of victimisation and perpetration behaviours, suggesting the presence of a bidirectional pattern of violence. Among both male and female participants, negotiation emerged as the most reported tactic, followed by psychological aggression as the most prevalent, while physical abuse behaviors, whether with mild or severe consequences, were generally less frequent. There were also statistically significant associations between the acceptance of violence and the frequency of abusive behaviour, confirming the hypothesis that legitimising beliefs are associated with victimisation and the perpetration of violence in intimate relationships. These results emphasise the importance of developing prevention and intervention strategies aimed at deconstructing beliefs that support violence in emotional relationships, promoting healthier and more equal relationships among young adults.
