This correlational-multivariate, cross-sectional quantitative study differentially determined by sex the prevalence of dating victimization by violence, the self-perception of victimization, and the attempt to ask for help to end a problematic relationship, as well as analyzing the explanatory weight of the attitudes to gender roles and Christian spirituality on these variables. The study sample, non-probabilistic and by convenience, was comprised of 759 Chilean university students. 63.9% were women and the average age was 20.5 years (SD=1.69). Men report suffering more physical violence and violence by coercion, and women have more tools to perceive their situation of victimization and to ask for help. Transcendent attitudes are a protective factor, stereotypes a risk factor, and the influence of religion is paradoxical. However, the explanatory power of these variables is low. In conclusion, dating violence is a problem present in the study sample, with the experience of victimization being different for men and women.
En este artículo, en la modalidad de ensayo, se analiza la construcción de identidad en jóvenes infractores de ley a partir del resultado de un conjunto de investigaciones realizadas con población infanto-juvenil urbana, que vive en condiciones de pobreza en regiones del sur de Chile. Estas investigaciones desarrolladas durante más de dos décadas, primero de tipo cualitativo y luego cuantitativo, permiten identificar particularidades en el proceso de construcción de identidad, que hacen posible plantear una identidad delictiva conformada en un proceso de larga data en niños y adolescentes que viven la experiencia de desadaptación social, apreciándose diferentes trayectorias persistentes en el tiempo. En adolescentes que construyen una identidad que valida la delincuencia como forma de vida, si bien se identifican factores de riesgos en diversos planos, similares a los que la literatura destaca, en la realidad estudiada aparecen importantes condiciones contextuales (dinámica familiar, condiciones barriales, experiencias escolares y con programas de intervención, etc.) que desempeñan un papel de relevancia que valida y refuerza esa identidad.
