Abstract

Adolescent-to-parent violence (APV) is still the most understudied type of domestic violence, although reports filed by victimized parents and youths serving judicial measures for this reason are increasing. The aim of this study is to assess the differential profile of boys and girls who have and have not reported APV in a community sample, following studies showing differences between both genders in initiating and maintaining offending behavior. To this end, each gender was assessed separately in relation to both variables already investigated by research on APV and variables that are relevant for other forms of violence. The sample was composed by 341 high-school students of both genders, aged between 14 to 20 years. They answered a questionnaire including scales on exposure to violence, parent-child relationships, self-concept, psychopathic traits, narcissism, and sexism. They were also asked about drug use, academic performance, family structure, and mental health diagnosis. Data analyses showed that variables that differentiate between youths who reported APV and those who did not were different for boys and girls. Results are discussed suggesting that incorporating a perspective based on gender, that considers differential experiences and psychosocial factors that lead boys and girls to APV, should contribute to designing more conclusive research and more effective interventions.
虐待父母的青少年概况:基于性别的分析
青少年对父母暴力(APV)仍然是研究最不足的家庭暴力类型,尽管受害父母和为此接受司法措施的青少年提交的报告越来越多。本研究的目的是评估社区样本中报告和未报告APV的男孩和女孩的差异情况,此前的研究表明,两性在发起和维持冒犯行为方面存在差异。为此,根据APV研究已经调查的变量和与其他形式暴力相关的变量,分别对每个性别进行了评估。该样本由341名年龄在14至20岁之间的男女高中生组成。他们回答了一份问卷,其中包括暴力暴露量表、亲子关系、自我概念、精神病特征、自恋和性别歧视。他们还被问及药物使用、学习成绩、家庭结构和心理健康诊断。数据分析显示,区分报告APV的年轻人和未报告APV年轻人的变量在男孩和女孩中是不同的。讨论结果表明,纳入基于性别的观点,考虑导致男孩和女孩感染APV的不同经历和心理社会因素,应有助于设计更具结论性的研究和更有效的干预措施。
