Violence in interpersonal relationships in young people has been the subject of several studies in recent years. Studies of dating violence show that one of the resources available for the young to help perceive and distinguish abusive or violent behaviour is an indicator which increases the ability to recognise as well as confront the reality of abuse. Certain violent behaviour however can be perceived as non-abusive, where the victim and the aggressor can share an abnormal view of the relationship in which possession, jealousy and exclusivity are considered significant elements within the relationship. The objective of this study is to understand and establish the levels of aggravation (degree of tolerance) towards violent behaviour in relationships of engaged adolescent Mexicans affected by abuse, by considering gender and level of perception of abuse as variables. The sample was formed of 3304 young Mexican students between the ages of 13 and 22, containing 1432 boys and 1872 girls, 1383 pursuing university studies, whereas the remaining 1921 were pre-university students. CUVINO was administered in order to determine the abusive conduct and levels of discomfort (tolerance), which allowed us to observe that the highest levels of discomfort, greater than those caused by any other kind of abuse, are experienced by women, especially regarding sexual victimization within the category of those non-abused women that presented a lower level of tolerance. This finding led us to identify, as a major risk factor, those men and women with a high level of tolerance, who did not perceive themselves as having been abused.AECID (CYTED) AP/035718/1

El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar la incidencia de ideación suicida, la percepción de las prácticas de crianza parentales y los factores de la crianza de padres y madres que predicen la ideación suicida en adolescentes. Participaron 208 estudiantes de secundaria (52.4% mujeres y 47.6% hombres) seleccionados no probabilísticamente. Se aplicó la Escala de riesgo suicida y la Escala de percepción de prácticas parentales de crianza para adolescentes. Los resultados evidencian ideación suicida en 14 % de la muestra estudiada; se obtiene que la calidez del padre, disciplina del padre y comunicación de la madre estuvieron asociadas de manera inversa con el riesgo de suicidio; un factor de riesgo fue el énfasis en el logro de la madre, ya que este factor estuvo asociado de manera significativa y directa con el riesgo de suicidio. Se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados para la prevención del suicidio en adolescentes.
