La violencia física y psicológica en la crianza desde la perspectiva de padres y madres, jóvenes y adultos jóvenes de la ciudad de Cuenca-Ecuador

Abstract

This research describes the perception of the use of physical and psychological violence as a parenting method, from the experience of young fathers and mothers and young adults in the city of Cuenca. The study collected information from 16 people between men and women, therefore, it is a qualitative study with a psychosocial approach. The methodology was based on semi-structured interviews where it became evident that violent practices continue to influence the current form of education. Finally, the study reveals that young adult parents see physical or verbal punishment as an effective way to raise their children; however, young parents maintain that the effectiveness of parenting lies in an empathic and dialogic relationship. From the research it is concluded that any type of violence is still rooted in the socio-cultural context of the city of Cuenca.
