RIVAS-RIVERO, Esther e ALGOVIA, Enrique Bonilla. Influence of the victimization history in Nicaraguan women in the intergenerational transmission of violence. Psychol. av. discip. [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.1, pp.61-73. Epub 28-Jan-2021. ISSN 1900-2386. https://doi.org/10.21500/19002386.4298.
Exposure to violence in childhood and experiences of child abuse are risk factors for a consequent repetition of them in the next generation. Many studies have analyzed the intergenerational transmission of violence, although this phenomenon has been investigated to a lesser extent in Nicaragua. The objective of this paper is to analyze the relationship between the history of abuse in Nicaraguan mothers in poverty and the violence in the next generation. The cross-sectional study involved 124 women who have undergone various forms of poly-victimization throughout their lives. The results indicate that the presence of violence in children is related to the mother’s victimization history, circumstance that predicts the violence suffered in the next generation. Highlighting and identifying child abuse constitutes a priority objective, since growing up in contexts where violence is normalized leads to its reproduction.
