Abstract

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 (a = 0.85 for violence received and a = 0.75 for violence perpetrated). Depressive symptoms were assessed with the Patient Health Questionnaire (a = 0.89) and anxiety was measured with the Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (a = 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.
