“…Relativamente à diferença entre o sexo dos sujeitos e as táticas de resolução de conflito utilizadas verificou-se que existe uma maior perpetração de agressão física sem sequelas pelo sexo masculino quando comparado com o sexo feminino, resultados que vão ao encontro dos de outros estudos que apontam os rapazes como principais perpetradores no contexto da fratria (Eriksen & Jensen, 2006;Relva et al, 2014;Relva, Fernandes, & Mota, 2012). Este padrão pode estar associado à aceitação da violência do homem contra a mulher, o que poderá levar à aceitação da violência dentro da fratria, na infância e adolescência (Hoffman et al, 2005;Wallace, 2007).…”

Diferentes caraterísticas familiares podem influenciar as táticas usadas pelos irmãos para resolver conflitos. O presente estudo analisa a relação entre o funcionamento familiar (medido pelas Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scales -FACES IV) e as táticas de resolução de conflitos (avaliadas através das Revised Conflict Tactics Scales -Sibling Version; CTS2-SP). A amostra foi constituída por 353 sujeitos (entre os 12 e os 18 anos de idade). Os resultados indicaram que os rapazes são quem mais utiliza a agressão física sem sequelas. Relativamente à relação entre o funcionamento familiar e as táticas de resolução de conflitos, as dimensões equilibradas do funcionamento familiar encontram-se associadas positivamente às táticas de resolução de conflitos adequadas (a negociação), verificando--se o oposto para as dimensões desequilibradas do funcionamento familiar, que apresentam associações positivas com a agressão (física e/ou psicológica). Os resultados sugerem um efeito preditor da qualidade do funcionamento familiar nas táticas de resolução de conflitos utilizadas no contexto fraterno. Parece, pois, necessário trabalhar com as famílias, com o objetivo de incrementar as suas competências, e deste modo melhorar a gestão dos conflitos na fratria. Palavras-chave:Funcionamento familiar, FACES IV, CTS2-SP, Violência na fratria. IntroduçãoA família é um lugar de aprendizagem de dimensões da interação e um espaço para vivência de relações afetivas profundas (Alarcão, 2000). É neste contexto que o desenvolvimento humano se inicia, sendo que o lugar que cada sujeito ocupa na sua família vai determinar as suas experiências e moldar a sua personalidade (Fernandes, Alarcão, & Raposo, 2007;Toman, 1993).A família e os seus subsistemas organizados hierarquicamente, possui limites que a separam e ligam ao meio que a rodeia, sendo que os subsistemas que a compõem são o subsistema parental, o conjugal e o fraternal (Minuchin, 1974). Este último é um lugar de socialização no qual se experimentam e desenvolvem papéis que irão posteriormente ser usados em outros contextos, permitindo ainda o desenvolvimento de capacidade relacionais, como o apoio mútuo, o conflito e a negociação (Alarcão, 2000). O funcionamento familiarMinuchin (1974) propõe um esquema conceptual do funcionamento familiar que considera a família como um sistema social aberto que se encontra em constante transformação, e que passa por um conjunto de etapas que permitem que a família se desenvolva e reestruture.

“…Others have used retrospective designs on sibling aggression between siblings (27) . Thus, there has been awareness of violence between siblings but these studies did not include the repetitive nature of harmful acts that defi ne bullying and only included one-time events (16,28) . Table 1 provides an overview of four studies that systematically investigated bullying between siblings.…”

Background : Parents are often concerned about repeated confl icts between their daughters and sons. However, there is little empirical research of sibling bullying. Objective : To conduct a review of existing studies of sibling bullying. Are there any associations between sibling bullying and peer bullying at school ? What are the consequences of sibling bullying ? Is there good justifi cation why sibling bullying has been so neglected in research ? Method : Studies of sibling relationships were reviewed. Four quantitative studies were identifi ed that report on both sibling and peer bullying. Results : Sibling bullying is frequent with up to 50 % involved in sibling bullying every month and between 16 % and 20 % involved in bullying several times a week. Experience of sibling bullying increases the risk of involvement in bullying in school. Both, bullying between siblings and school bullying make unique contributions to explaining behavioral and emotional problems. There is a clear dose-effect relationship of involvement of bullying at home and at school and behavioral or emotional problems. Those involved in both have up to 14 times increased odds of behavioral or emotional problems compared to those involved in only one context or not at all. Conclusions : The empirical evidence is limited and studies are mostly cross-sectional studies. Nevertheless, the review suggests that for those victimized at home and at school behavioral and emotional problems are highly increased. Sibling relationships appear to be a training ground with implications for individual well-being. Strengthening families and parenting skills and increasing sibling support is likely to reduce bullying and increase well-being.

“…Based on prevalence data, sibling aggression is the most common form of aggression at home (Eriksen & Jensen, 2006). In a previous study, about 60% to 80% of the study's participants were victims of inter-sibling aggression (Goodwin & Roscoe, 1990).…”

“…In some cases, parents may feel ashamed to report that they were victimized by their children or might mistake sibling aggression as normal sibling rivalry. In the past, sibling aggression was not recognized by the criminal justice system, because it was considered a part of the typical growing-up process (Eriksen & Jensen, 2006). The court also tends to be more lenient toward family aggression offenders, particularly when they are children, compared to a non-family member who has committed similar crimes (Dawson, 2004;Gebo, 2007).…”

They were more likely to use a weapon (audit 1 = 69%; audit 2 = 65.5%) compared to the clinical sample (audit 1 and 2 = 0%). Examining only the aggressive groups, there was more perpetration of aggression toward parents (audit 1, forensic = 92%, clinical = 75%; audit 2, forensic = 55.17%, clinical = 40%) than toward siblings (audit 1, forensic = 43%, clinical = 50%; audit 2, forensic = 27.58%, clinical = 30%). Based on these findings, we would urge 2 professionals who work within the child mental health, particularly the forensic area, to systematically collect reports of aggression perpetrated toward family members.
