Violencia filio parental en adolescentes de la provincia de Cañar: Una problemática emergente en Ecuador.

Abstract

When it comes to child-to-parent violence, the authority or generational power is inverted, where children are the ones who physically or mentally attack their parents, exerting in some way a kind of power over them. In this regard, this type of aggressiveness tends to manifest during the puberty phase, when the development of various areas in which the child interacts becomes evident. It is also when they begin internalizing expected behaviors, often resisting discipline. For this reason, the general objective was to analyze the correlation between sociodemographic factors and the incidence of child-to-parent violence in adolescents living in Cañar. This research employed a non-experimental, correlational approach with a quantitative and transactional focus, using the Sociodemographic Questionnaire and the Child-to-Parent Violence Questionnaire (CPV-Q), which assesses psychological, physical, and economic abuse, as well as behaviors indicative of control and domination. The main findings revealed that physical violence prevails among students in Cañar, with a prevalence of 96.9%; economic violence directed towards the father remains at 79.3%. The results also showed that both fathers and mothers prevail without violence.
