Evaluation of Affective Coexistence in Young Afro-Colombians in the Department of Chocó-Colombia.

Various works of research into violence in relationships between young couples refer to a lack of perception of some behavior patterns such as abuse. This means that the relationship has the potential risk of developing into one of victimization should it last into adulthood. Although it has been shown that this phenomenon may occur in any sector of the population, the interest of our study rests upon determining the prevalence of the perception of violent behavior patterns in relationships between adolescent and young adult couples.

Development of the Gender Role Attitudes Scale (GRAS) amongst young Spanish people.

Gender roles depend on the attitudes and beliefs about them, which at the same time facilitate the formation of stereotypes that will foster violence in interpersonal relationships in couples.

The objective of the study is to provide an improved scale for the assessment of gender role attitudes, based on the theoretical perspective of gender equality.
