Influencia de la psicopatología en la comisión de violencia filio-parental: diferencias en función del sexo

Abstract

<p>The aim of the present study was to analyze the role of the psychopathologic symptomatology of participants on the perpetration of child-to-parent violence (CPV), as well as to test the moderator role of the participant sex on the psychopathology.</p><p>The sample comprised 855 students from middle school, high school and vocational education (399 boys and 456 girls). Age range varies among 13-21 years old (<em>M</em> = 16.09; <em>DT</em> = 1.34), being 307 (35.9%) among 13-15, 501 (58.6%) 16-18 and 47 (5.5%) 19-21. Most of them (91%) had Spanish citizenship. Psychopathology was assessed with the Symptom Checklist 90 Revised, whereas CPV perpetration was assessed employing the Child-to-Parent Aggression Questionnaire.</p><p>Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that the most important psychopathologic symptoms were hostility, paranoid ideation and depression, being related higher scores on hostility and paranoid ideation, and lower on depression, with the perpetration of CPV. Interaction analyses showed a moderator role of the participant sex with the interpersonal sensitivity and obsessive-compulsive in the case of CPV to the father, and interpersonal sensitivity, obsessive-compulsive and paranoid ideation in the case of CPV to the mother.</p><p>Results confirm the idea that the existence of psychopathologic symptomatology by the minors has an effect on the probability of perpetration CPV, being this effect different depending on the sex of the perpetrator.</p>

Gender differences in child to parent violence risk factors

“…CPV has attracted great academic and professional interest in recent decades. However, despite various work and some consensus on the potential risk factors involved, few studies have addressed the comparison of these factors between boys and girls (Beckmann et al, 2017;Rico et al, 2017;Rosado et al, 2017). Those who engage in more violence or more serious violence, on the other hand, has been an issue more frequently addressed in the literature.…”

“…Despite the extensive amount of studies, few works specifically compare the psychosocial characteristics of boys and girls involved in CPV. Rosado et al (2017), in a sample of secondary and high school students assessed with the SCL-90, found a significant positive relationship between interpersonal sensitivity in boys for assault on both parents; and in the case of girls, a positive relationship between the scale of obsessions and aggression toward parents, and a negative relationship between interpersonal sensitivity and aggression toward the mother. More impulsivity has also been reported in girls who have committed CPV compared to boys .…”

“…Por otra parte, evaluar la presencia de violencia reiterada nos permite obtener una imagen más exacta de los casos reales de VFP. Así, cuando se utiliza este criterio, los datos indican un 20.9% de violencia psicológica hacia la madre y un 19.9% hacia el padre, porcentajes similares a los encontrados por Rosado et al (2017). Respecto a la violencia física, los porcentajes también van en la línea de los obtenidos por Calvete et al (2014) y Rosado et al (2017).…”

“…Sin embargo, los porcentajes de violencia económica son superiores a los encontrados por Rico et al (2017) y por Rosado et al (2017). Una posible explicación es que el instrumento utilizado en el presente estudio se incluye una mayor variedad de conductas para evaluar la violencia económica (4 ítems), a diferencia del instrumento utilizado por Rico et al (2017) y Rosado et al (2017), una versión del CPAQ (Calvete et al, 2013), que evalúa este tipo de violencia con un solo ítem "has cogido dinero de tu madre/padre sin permiso". Finalmente, nuestro estudio revela que las conductas de control y dominio sobre los padres es el tipo de violencia más frecuente, con alrededor de un 60% de los adolescentes ejerciendo este tipo de conductas al menos una vez en el último año y alrededor de un 30% ejerciéndolas al menos 2-3 veces.…”

“…Cuando se aplica un criterio de violencia reiterada, los porcentajes de violencia psicológica oscilan entre 9.2%-27% hacia la madre y 8.5%-21.7% hacia el padre, mientras que los porcentajes de violencia física se encuentran entre 2.3%-6-.1% para la madre y entre 2.4%-5.1% para el padre (Calvete et al, 2014;Calvete et al, 2017;. Respecto a la violencia económica, los porcentajes se encuentran en torno al 4-5% para ambos padres (Rosado et al, 2017).…”
