Technologies have become important for interaction in couples. However, in some cases, controlling and aggressive behaviors can occur in the context of virtual interactions in couples; this is known as cyber-dating abuse (CDA). Identifying factors linked to CDA, as perpetrator and victim, are relevant for its prevention; therefore, more research is needed in this novel field of study. To contribute to the literature, our first goal was to analyze the associations among certain risk factors for CDA perpetration and victimization of, i.e., sexist attitudes and violence justification, problematic smartphone usage and impulsivity; sex and age were also considered. The second goal was to study whether there were differences in direct aggression and control, from the perpetrator and victim perspectives, with consideration of the above-mentioned risk factors. Third, differences in the diverse range of control behaviors and direct aggression between women and men were explored. To this end, 697 young adults (aged between 18 and 35 years; 548 women) completed self-report questionnaires that allowed assessment of the above-mentioned variables. The results showed that, among the wide range of CDA behaviors, indirect ones such as control behaviors were the most common. The highest level of control was strongly associated with the inability to manage behaviors under certain emotional states, especially negative ones, along with problematic smartphone usage. Sex differences were also observed: men displayed more sexist attitudes and violence justification, and perceived that they were more controlled by their partners. Regarding CDA behaviors, men and women showed differences in control (e.g. men considered themselves to be more controlled in terms of location and status updates), and direct aggression (e.g. men used more insults and humiliations than women). The results were discussed in terms of the importance of better understanding these risk factors to attenuate the increasing prevalence of CDA in relationships.
rec (02 de julio de 2015) acept (24 de febrero de 2017) Resumen en los últimos años asistimos a la extensión de los smartphones, cuya funcionalidad y versatilidad los convierten en una herramienta que impacta sobremanera en la vida diaria y las relaciones de sus usuarios. pese a sus incuestionables ventajas, se observan problemas asociados a su uso problemático, que puede provocar adicción y dependencia. Esto justifica nuestro estudio, cuyo objetivo es la elaboración y validación de una escala que evalúe el uso problemático de las aplicaciones asociadas a los smartphone, adaptada a la realidad actual, creada y validada en lengua hispana y destinada a población adulta. en la investigación participaron 820 personas, en su mayoría estudiantes de la Universidad de Jaén (españa). el rango de edad oscilaba de 18 a 40 años (M = 22,38, Dt = 4,53), siendo un 69,3% mujeres y un 30,7% hombres. los análisis estadísticos dieron lugar a una herramienta final constituída por 40 ítems y tres componentes.
Pese a los múltiples estudios que confirman la pertinencia de dar valor a la diversidad presente en las aulas a través de estrategias orientadas a la educación inclusiva todavía encontramos manifestaciones evidentes de segregación escolar. El presente estudio, a través de la técnica del Grupo Focal, identifica apoyos y obstáculos presentes en el ámbito de educación primaria que percibe el equipo educativo. Para ello se analizan cuestiones vinculadas al imaginario social de la diversidad, actitudes, demandas, mitos, prejuicios y limitaciones tanto internos como externos, entre otros. Destaca la tendencia a vincular el concepto de diversidad a la diversidad funcional (que marca el resto del análisis de la realidad del presente estudio), la dificultad de adaptar la heterogeneidad en los ritmos de aprendizaje a la homogeneización de resultados académicos exigidos, la preponderancia de contenidos formales frente a los transversales y una burocracia que incentiva a las adaptaciones curriculares formales. En la comunidad educativa, identifican situaciones de rechazo y actitudes discriminatorias transmitidas por parte de los familiares de alumnado normotípico sobre la diversidad funcional y una implicación insuficiente en la consolidación de espacios escolares inclusivos en un porcentaje considerable del profesorado. Se requiere, por tanto, una puesta en valor de la diversidad y de los beneficios de la inclusión para el conjunto de la sociedad.
