2016
En este estudio, se analizan las tasas de abandono del tratamiento en hombres inmigrantes latinoamericanos con problemas de consumo de alcohol (PCA) derivados a programas de intervención con maltratadores, y se explora si aquellos que consiguen finalizar la intervención se diferencian de los que no tienen PCA en variables resultado de la intervención. La muestra la componen 107 hombres latinoamericanos condenados por violencia contra la mujer. Al contrario de lo esperado, no se confirman mayores tasas de abandono entre los participantes con PCA. Independientemente de tener o no PCA, los participantes que finalizaron el programa mostraron mejoría en todas las variables objetivo de la interve…
Preliminary evaluation of an analog procedure to assess acceptability of intimate partner violence against women: The Partner Violence Acceptability …
2015
Acceptability of partner violence against women is a risk factor linked to its perpetration, and to public, professionals’ and victims’ responses to this behavior. Research on the acceptability of violence in intimate partner relationships is, however, limited by reliance solely on self-reports that often provide distorted or socially desirable accounts that may misrepresent respondents’ true attitudes. This study presents data on the development and initial validation of a new analog task assessing respondents’ acceptability of physical violence toward women in intimate relationships: the Partner Violence Acceptability Movie task (PVAM). This new analog task is intended to provide a more i…
Adaptation and validation of the Victim-Blaming Attitudes in Cases of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women (VB-IPVAW) Scale in Ecuadorian populati…
2021
Resumen La violencia de pareja contra la mujer (VPM) constituye un grave problema de salud pública con importantes consecuencias para la salud física y psicológica de las mujeres. Las ac titudes de culpabilización de la víctima pueden contribuir a crear un clima de aceptación social en el que la VPM se perciba como una conducta normativa, influyendo en las respuestas de los individuos, comunidades, e instituciones frente a este problema. Ecuador es uno de los países de Latinoamérica donde la prevalencia de VPM es más alta, y las investigaciones sobre esta temática son todavía escasas. El objetivo de este estudio es adaptar y validar la Escala Española de Actitudes de Culpabilización de la V…

Battered Women: Victims or Survivors?
2011
AbstractFrom 1970, research into women’s responses to marital violence became much more intense than ever before. Academic literature emphasizes two explanatory perspectives: of the woman as passive victim and of the woman who uses strategies to protect herself. The main goals of this study were to explore the effectiveness of personal strategies that women use to survive violence, the factors that influence the recurrence of violence, and the demand for shelter and the role of shelters in the process of recovery and healing. We interviewed eight battered women, from rural areas, all of whom had taken refuge in shelters, some of them several time. We identified a number of psychopathologica…
Gender, Care, and the Normalization of Violence: Similarities between Occupational Violence and Intimate Partner Violence in Finland
2007
According to the statistics, violence against women is quite common in Finland, particularly in partner relationships and in care work. The present article looks at the similarities in the ways in which victims of occupational violence in care work and victims of intimate partner violence understand their experiences of violence. The commonalities among interpersonal relations are highlighted in order to offer new insights to the analysis of gender in research on occupational violence. Drawing on empirical data and research literature on the experiences of violence of Finnish women, this article suggests that minimization, naturalization and legitimization of the encountered violence is typ…

As well as hostility towards gender equality interpreted as a propaganda against so called traditional family values. The mass media play an important role in shaping of public thought.The mass media today are the ma…
Violence at School: A Sample of Young Muslims and Young Valencians
2014
AbstractViolence at school is considered to be an important issue in Spain, despite the fact that the majority of secondary education students reject it. Over the last decade awareness has been raised with regard to this problem. In this study we aim to analyze the perception of school violence held by two very different groups of secondary education students. A sample of young Muslims (n=88) and young Valencians (n=88) (aged between 12 and 18) has been used, all of whom live in the city of Valencia (Spain) and study in 12 secondary educational centers in the city. We observed significant differences in the perception that young Muslims and Valencians have of this violence. Both groups reje…

2020
Pētījuma mērķis bija izpētīt, vai pašnovērtētiem panikas simptomiem ir saistības ar bērnības vardarbības pieredzi un vai panikas simptomu izteiktību izskaidro uztvertā ģimenes psiholoģiskā vide. Pētījuma izlasi veidoja 81 pusaudzis, vecumā no 12 līdz 16 gadiem (M=14,9, SD=1,38), 60 meitenes un 21 zēns, kuri internetā anonīmi aizpildīja izveidoto aptauju. Pētījumā tika izmantota Ģimenes klimata skala (Family Environment Scale, FES), Bērnības vardarbības pieredzes aptauja (Childhood Abuse History Questionnaire (CAHQ) un Panikas traucējuma smaguma skala (Panic Disorder Severity Scale). Rezultāti rāda, ka pētījuma izlasē panikas simptomu skaitam un panikas izteiktībai ir nozīmīgi pozitīva saist…

2020
Latvijā saskaņā ar statistikas un pētījumu datiem vardarbība ģimenē un sabiedrībā bija un vēl joprojām ir augstā līmenī, pie tam ar vienu no augstākajiem vardarbības rādītājiem Eiropas Savienībā. Kopš 2014.gada 31.marta Latvijā ir iespējama vardarbībā cietušo personu aizsardzība civilprocesuālā kārtībā, kas ietver arī pagaidu aizsardzības pret vardarbību piemērošanu policejiskā kārtībā un bāriņtiesas ceļā. Tas ir Latvijas tiesību sistēmai jauns, tiesisks mehānisms, kā ar civiltiesiskiem un administratīviem līdzekļiem vērsties pret vardarbības situācijām ģimenē vai citu personu starpā, kur pastāv vai ir pastāvējušas tuvas attiecības uz radniecības vai personisku attiecību pamata. Lai arī Lat…
