Abstract | Introduction: Intimate partner violence is a form of violence that takes place at all ages and strata of society. At early ages, such as in adolescence, we may find certain behaviors and beliefs that justify violence and may represent the seeds of future violence. Beliefs held by this population sector as to what behaviors might be abusive are very important in detecting lines of action and/or prevention. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether Spanish adolescents consider abuse behaviors as such, and to what degree of severity. Both male and female perceptions were considered, and they evaluated abuse not only from male to female, but also female to male. Method: The study population were students of compulsory and post-compulsory secondary education between the ages of 14 and 22 years. The total sample included 874 participants (430 girls and 444 boys). The questionnaire was made up of 15 behaviors that participants were to identify as representing abuse or not: 14 of these had been included as indicators of gender-based violence in former studies on this topic. Results: The results showed that Spanish adolescents identified abuse behaviors as such (whether from male to female or female to male), with certain exceptions. Generally speaking, girls were more aware of abuse behaviors. Of the 14 behaviors described, there was unanimity between both sexes in considering 8 of these to be abusive behaviors, whether male to female or female to male. However, items that refer to emotional abuse tended to be scored as less serious than those referring to physical abuse. Finally, significant age differences were obtained, where persons in the older age group had a higher perception of behaviors being abusive. Discussion and conclusions: The core results of the study were that both boys and girls recognize abuse behaviors as such, but that girls tend to consider them as more serious. A tendency can be observed that certain behaviors are scored with a higher rating when it is the girl who is rating them. Regarding the fact that recognition of violence is more manifest in the older group, different nonexclusive hypotheses can be formulated. (As Provided). |
