Resumen:
Differences in depressive symptomatology and anxiety were analyzed
according to the type and level of violence received in men and women. 2
271 adults participated (56.3 % women and 43.7 % men), with with a
mean age of 37.7 years (SD = 6.85). Intimate partner violence was
evaluated with the short version of the revised Conflict Tactics Scales,
which showed a good fit and acceptable reliability indices (alpha = 0.85
for violence received and alpha = 0.75 for violence perpetrated).
Depressive symptoms were assessed with the Patient Health Questionnaire
(alpha = 0.89) and anxiety was measured with the Generalized Anxiety
Disorder scale (alpha = 0.82). Analyses of variance were performed to
determine the differences in depressive symptomatology and anxiety by
type and level of violence. The results indicated significant
differences in all types of violence received, both for men and women,
with participants who did not present violence showing less depressive
symptomatology and less anxiety than participants who experienced minor
and severe violence. It is necessary to deepen in the violence that both
men and women receive and its impact on mental health.
