“…Estas afectaciones pueden tener una repercusión incluso mayor a la violencia física, dado que las vejaciones psicológicas pueden generar trastornos de ansiedad severos lo que conlleva a una pobreza de comportamiento (Moya, 2018). Las poblaciones vulnerables como los trabajadores agrícolas son más propensos a sufrir violencia psicológica y abusos (Winstok & Sowan-Basheer, 2015) por consiguiente es necesario atender de forma inmediata estas desavenencias para que esta capacidad pueda potenciar el desarrollo mental de los jornaleros.…”

This paper reports an analysis of the behavior and perception of migrant agricultural workers in relation to central human capacities. Seven dimensions of analysis were aligned to the human central capabilities proposed by Nussbaum. The results showed that physical health and emotions infringe human development of workers. The capabilities of practical reason, affiliation and control over the environment showed discrimination and social segregation. The results provide evidence on the quality of life and general welfare situation of migrant farm workers from a perspective for human development.

“…Psychological, mental, or emotional violence , aggression , and abuse are examples of terms used to describe a specific behavioral category of intimate partner violence (Winstok & Sowan‐Basheer, 2015). These types of violence are defined as behaviors intended to harm a partner's emotional well‐being (Yoon & Lawrence, 2013).…”

Objective To test the mediating effect of perpetrating psychological abuse between insecure attachment orientations and relationship satisfaction among couples. Method The mediating effect of psychological abuse between attachment orientation and relationship satisfaction was investigated among 128 couples (N = 256 participants) in enduring relationships using the actor–partner interdependence model. Results Actor effects indicated men and women higher in anxious attachment perpetrate more psychological abuse, which in turn is linked to their low personal relationship satisfaction. Partner effects revealed two significant paths: Women higher in anxious attachment perpetrated more psychological abuse, which in turn was negatively linked to their partners' relationship satisfaction. Second, the higher the women's attachment anxiety, the more their partners perpetrated psychological abuse, which in turn was negatively linked to partners' relationship satisfaction. Conclusions Research on attachment and psychological abuse within romantic relationships could benefit from including a dyadic perspective. Although seen as an invisible harm, psychological abuse is a distinct type of abuse. It has a unique role in fulfilling attachment needs, as well as potentially damaging consequences on the individual and the dyad.

“…Finally, the cooperation scale items of the CPS demonstrate constructive conflict tactics (e.g., “Compromise, meet the other half way”) that reflect some aspects of negotiation scale items of the CTS2 (e.g., “Suggested a compromise to a disagreement”). Although the CTS2 (or the earlier version) is largely utilized for the assessment of IPA (e.g., Straus et al, ; Winsok & Sowan‐Basheer, ), some child and family relationship scholars have used the psychological and/or physical assault scales of the CTS2 to measure destructive interparental conflict (e.g., Cummings et al, ; El‐Sheikh & Hinnant, ; El‐Sheikh & Whitson, ; Kouros, Merrilees, & Cummings, ). The interchangeable use of the CTS2 further suggests that destructive conflict is likely largely equivalent to the construct of IPA and, as such, deserves the same level of concern and active response from researchers, practitioners, and policy makers.…”

“…The Conflict Tactic Scale ("CTS") and the revised CTS2 (Straus, Hamby, Boney-McCoy, & Sugarman, 1996) are widely used instruments for measuring frequency and prevalence of several types of IPA (Capaldi et al, 2012;Geffner, 2016;Lehrner & Allen, 2014;Straus, 2007;Winstok & Sowan-Basheer, 2015). The CTS2 consists of five subscales that assess (1) violent behaviors (psychological aggression, physical assault, and sexual coercion), (2) outcomes of the violent behaviors (injury scale), and (3) negotiation strategies during disagreements (negotiation scale) (Straus et al, 1996).…”

Building on existing evidence that destructive interparental conflict and intimate partner abuse (IPA) share research methodology and predict the same adjustment difficulties across numerous areas of child development, this article brings awareness to differences in terminology across disciplines and the impact these nuanced differences may have on families. We begin by identifying two main streams of scholarships followed by a discussion of research methodology similarities and differences. Important implications of differences in naming conventions for practitioners, legal and academic scholars, and victims are then discussed. Finally, we encourage professionals from both scholarships to consider referencing the other's terminology and using comprehensive assessments to better promote the well‐being of families.
