| Abstract | |
Aiming the identification of associations between different types of family violence, we performed a household survey using a probabilistic sample of 480 women, aged between 18 and 60 years (M=39.1; SD=12.2), from a low-income neighborhood of Juiz de Fora/MG. The Revised Conflict Tactics Scales and the Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scales were applied. Psychological violence was reported in 77% to 89% of the relationships investigated. Physical violence was higher or equal to 20%. Associations between practicing and being victim of almost all types of partner violence were observed. Being victim or aggressor in the marital relationship was also associated with violence against children. These results highlight the circularity of violence and the relevance of preventive actions in the family. (AU) | |
