Early adolescents’ perception of parenting styles is crucial to their present and future physical and mental well-being. The main aim of the present study was to analyze differences in parenting styles between mothers and fathers and differences on emotional state scales (anxiety, depression, and purpose in life) depending on gender, age, and family structure in 744 girls (54%) and boys (45.7%) aged between 10 and 12 years. The results showed that the early adolescents perceived greater levels of affect than criticism, with mothers being considered more affectionate than fathers. The greater the perceived affect and communication, the greater was the perception of purpose in life and the lower the levels of anxiety and depression in early adolescents. Boys showed higher levels of perceived criticism and rejection. Family affect and communication play a key role in purpose in life and emotional well-being of children, with parenting styles being a determining factor.
El concepto de polivictimización, entendido como la experimentación de múltiples tipos de victimización durante la infancia y la adolescencia, está ampliamente reconocido. El desarrollo del Cuestionario de Victimización Juvenil ha permitido un estudio comprehensivo de este fenómeno. No obstante, no hay acuerdo en la definición metodológica, existiendo múltiples elementos que inciden en la detección de polivíctimas. El objetivo es realizar una revisión del concepto de polivictimización desde una perspectiva metodológica. Se incluyen 30 artículos de los que se describe su método de análisis, el marco temporal analizado, el tipo de muestra y la versión del instrumento aplicada. Se discute cómo la variabilidad de criterios metodológicos construye una definición de polivíctimas diferente en cada investigación, afectando a los puntos de corte y a la detección de polivíctimas. Este trabajo ofrece orientación para comprender la prevalencia de la polivictimización, y puede servir como guía a nuevos investigadores de este campo de estudio.
