A violência no namoro entre estudantes do ensino superior surge como o tema central da presente dissertação, sendo o seu objetivo principal averiguar a possível existência de uma relação entre as atitudes relativamente ao amor e as atitudes acerca da violência no namoro e explorar, também, a existência de possíveis diferenças nessas atitudes em função de variáveis sociodemográficas e contextuais, em estudantes que frequentem maioritariamente o 1º ano de todas as licenciaturas ministradas numa das instituições de ensino superior da área de Lisboa. O estudo empírico assume uma natureza quantitativa, recorrendo à aplicação de um questionário de dados sociodemográficos e contextuais e de duas escalas, nomeadamente, a “Escala de atitudes em relação ao amor” (Neto, 1992) e a “Escala de atitudes acerca da violência no namoro” (Saavedra, Machado & Martins, 2017), numa amostra constituída por 210 estudantes. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que a maioria dos/as participantes se identificam mais com os estilos de amor companheiro (Storge), apaixonado (Eros) e altruísta (Ágape), revelando, também, uma baixa concordância com a violência no namoro, sendo que os rapazes manifestam mais atitudes legitimadoras da mesma, comparativamente às raparigas. Ainda assim, observa-se a presença de alguma tolerância, no geral, face à violência psicológica e física feminina e à violência psicológica masculina. Verifica-se, também, que as variáveis sexo, curso frequentado, prática religiosa e pessoa na qual se está a pensar aquando o preenchimento do questionário influenciam as atitudes dos/as participantes acerca da violência no namoro e que as variáveis sexo, orientação sexual, estado civil, experiência em relações amorosas, pessoa na qual se está a pensar aquando o preenchimento do questionário e duração da relação influenciam as atitudes dos/as mesmos/as em relação ao amor. Por último, os resultados sugerem a existência de uma relação de influência entre as distintas subescalas referentes à legitimação da violência no namoro, bem como entre determinadas atitudes de legitimação da mesma e alguns estilos/atitudes relativamente ao amor, à exceção do estilo de amor companheiro (Storge) que se manifesta neutro neste aspeto.
ABSTRACT Dating violence among higher education students emerges as the theme of the present dissertation. Its main objective is to identify the possible existence of a correlation between attitudes related to love and attitudes towards dating violence, as well as study possible differences in those attitudes depending on the influence of sociodemographic/contextual variables, in students attending mainly the 1st year of all the courses held in one higher education institution in Lisbon. This empirical study adopts a quantitative methodology, using a questionnaire that included sociodemographic/contextual measures and two scales, specifically the “Escala de atitudes em relação ao amor” (Love Attitudes Scale) (Neto, 1992) and the “Escala de atitudes acerca da violência no namoro” (Attitudes Towards Dating Violence Scale) (Saavedra, Machado & Martins, 2017), in a sample of 210 students. The results obtained in this study suggest that most of the participants identify themselves more with the friendship (Storge), passionate (Eros) and altruistic (Ágape) love styles and show a low level of acceptance regarding dating violence, being that male students are more accepting than female students. Nevertheless, it is possible to identify some acceptance of female psychological and physical violence along with male psychological violence. It is also possible to perceive that the variables sex, type of course, religiosity and person who one is thinking about whilst answering the questionnaire, influence the attitudes of the participants towards dating violence. In addition the variables sex, sexual orientation, marital status, experience in love relationships, person who one is thinking about whilst completing the questionnaire and duration of the relationship, influence their attitudes towards love. Lastly, the results suggested that the distinct subscales regarding the Attitudes Towards Dating Violence Scale are intercorrelated, as well as the existence of a relationship between certain dating violence supportive attitudes and some attitudes towards love, with the exception of friendship love style (Storge) which manifests itself as neutral in this specific aspect.
