ABSTRACT
Resumen Introducción: En Colombia, la violencia de pareja es una importante causa de agresión contra las mujeres. Sus principales detonantes son el machismo, los celos y la infidelidad. Algunas investigaciones señalan que los "mitos románticos" podrían contribuir a esta violencia, al reafirmar roles de género desiguales y patriarcales. Método: El trabajo es una revisión sistemática cualitativa, orientada a sintetizar los estudios empíricos sobre el amor romántico en Colombia. Siguiendo el protocolo Prisma, la muestra estuvo conformada por los artículos de mayor impacto, publicados en bases de datos especializadas de ciencias sociales, con énfasis en la psicología, se seleccionaron 26 estudios. Resultados: Los resultados señalan que los mitos románticos se encuentran relacionados con la violencia de pareja. En particular, los celos y la infidelidad constituyen los detonantes prioritarios de la agresión. Conclusión: Se concluye que el marco de creencias sociales sobre el amor en la cultura colombiana es fuertemente patriarcal, marco que se sustenta en un relacionamiento desigual, dominador y controlador entre los sexos, conducente a la violencia en la pareja.
Abstract Introduction: In Colombia, domestic violence is an important cause of aggression against women with machoism, jealously, and infidelity being the key triggers. Some research indicates that romantic love and related myths may be contributing factors towards the emergence or persistence of domestic violence, as they reaffirm unequal and patriarchal gender roles. Method: This work is a systematic review aimed to synthase the empirical studies about romantic love in Colombia. Following the Prisma protocol, the sample was made up of high-impact articles published in specialized databases about social science with a focus on psychology and 26 were selected. Results: The results pointed that in the Colombian context, the romantic myths are found related to domestic violence, and jealousy and infidelity appearing as signs of aggression. Conclusion: It is concluded that the background of the social beliefs about romantic love in the Colombian culture is highly patriarchal, holding is an unequal, dominating and controlling relationship between the sexes that conduces the gender violence in relationships
ABSTRACT
Background: In recent years, an increasing number of studies have emerged that contribute to the explanation of the development and consolidation of adolescent romantic relationships. In this regard, Collins made a significant contribution to the previous models focusing on different stages; his proposal is focused instead on the meaning of each stage for adolescents. In attempting to find empirical support for this model, this paper analyses these couples characteristics at a deeper level; all the areas identified by Collins were considered together: involvement, content, quality of the couple, and cognitive and emotional processes. Method: 3,258 adolescents (48.6% males) in Andalusia were surveyed, selecting those who had a dating relationship at that time (N= 1,202). Cluster analysis and predictive discriminant analysis were run. Results: The results indicated four distinct groups of adolescent couples, which were different not only in the participants age, but in all the dimensions analyzed. Conclusions: These results are discussed in terms of the significance of these variables for adolescents when defining their romantic relationships (AU)
Antecedentes: en los últimos años ha crecido el número de estudios que han contribuido a la explicación del desarrollo y consolidación de las primeras relaciones sentimentales adolescentes. En este sentido, Collins ha realizado una contribución importante a los modelos de estadios propuestos hasta el momento, centrándose no tanto en los propios estadios como en el significado que cada uno de ellos tiene para los adolescentes. Tratando de dar soporte empírico a este modelo, el presente trabajo profundiza en el análisis de las características de estas parejas teniendo en cuenta, de forma conjunta, las áreas identificadas por Collins: implicación, contenido, calidad de la pareja y procesos cognitivos y emocionales. Método: fueron encuestados 3.258 adolescentes (chicos 48,6%) andaluces, seleccionando a aquellos que tenían una relación de pareja en ese momento (N= 1.202). Se utilizaron análisis de conglomerados y análisis discriminante predictivo. Resultados: los resultados apuntaron la existencia de cuatro grupos de jóvenes bien diferenciados que variaban, además de en la edad de los implicados, en todas las dimensiones analizadas. Conclusiones: estos resultados se discuten en términos de la importancia de la significación de estas variables para los jóvenes a la hora de definir su pareja sentimental (AU)
