BONILLA-ALGOVIA, Enrique e RIVAS-RIVERO, Esther. Relation Between Child Abuse and Dating Violence in a Sample of Colombian Young Adults. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2020, vol.37, n.2, pp.68-87. Epub 18-Ago-2021. ISSN 0123-417X. https://doi.org/10.14482/psdc.37.2.307.14.
The objective of this research is to analyze the relation between the history of child abuse and the victimization and perpetration of dating violence. The research sample consists of 443 young adults from Bogotá (Colombia) and their mean age is 20.64 years (SD = 3.911). The instrument is composed of the modified version of the Conflicts Tactics Scale (M-CTS) and other questions (ad hoc). The results show that, during childhood, 43% of participants suffered psychological abuse and 36% of them suffered physical abuse. The history of child abuse appears to be associated with dating violence in emerging adulthood. Participants who have experienced physical and psychological abuse in childhood, compared to those who have not, score significantly higher in different forms of perpetration and victimization of dating violence. The results can be used to implement educational actions to prevent the reproduction of violence
