En consecuencia, el propósito de este estudio es desarrollar y validar una escala en castellano destinada a evaluar las percepciones sobre el proceso de acreditación y la gestión de la calidad en las Instituciones de Educación Superior. En base a hallazgos anteriores, y utilizando un diseño transversal en un solo momento en el tiempo, se encuestaron 339 académicos en cuatro ciudades académicas importantes de Chile. Utilizando el modelado de ecuaciones estructurales, se encontraron dos soluciones con índices de ajuste adecuados: una solución de cuatro factores que incluye Relevancia institucional de la Acreditación, Objetividad de la evaluación de acreditación,...

Aim: To compare the levels of aggression between a sample of men referred for domestic violence therapy (n = 34) and a nonclinical sample (N = 40), assessed by the Chilean version of the AQ scale. Method: Comparative analytical observational cross-sectional study. Results: Statistically significant differences in favor of the group of perpetrators was found, in overall AQ scores (p = 0.013), physical aggression subscale (p = 0.005), anger subscale (p = 0.005) and hostility subscale (p = 0.000). No statistically significant differences were found in verbal aggression subscale (p = 0.705), despite being the clinical group scores higher than the control group. Conclusions: Results are partially consistent with findings from previous research. Results are discussed from an empirical and sociological perspective.

The sample consisted of 770 adolescents, aged between 11 and 19 with an average age of 14.8 years old, of which 389 were female (50.5%) and 381 were male (49.5%). An adapted version of the Scale of Attitudes Towards Intimate Violence was used. Results found greater justifying attitudes toward violence in early adolescents than in late adolescents, in 6 of 12 items of the scale, with a statistical significance of p ≤ .001 in 4 items and in the overall score, and p ≤ .05 in 2 items. In the comparison according to sex, male adolescents tended to justify violence more than female adolescents did in one item ( p ≤ .001). In dating/no dating comparison, statistically significant differences were found in just 2 items, in favor of those who are not in a relationship ( p ≤ .05). These results are analyzed and discussed in relation to prev...

This literature review updates evidence about intimate partner violence in dating relationships,
revealing a particular phenomenon, emphasizing issues such as the prevalence for both
sexes, which according to various reviewed studies may range from 0.8% for sexual violence
to 98% for psychological aggression. Factors associated with abuse or early sexual initiation,
temporal extent of the relationship, role of parents and peers, among others; and the consequences
as dropouts: teenage pregnancy, eating disorders, victimization and expression of
anger primarily in men, etc. are anayzed.This review demonstrates that this phenomenon
has certain peculiarities that justify a more targeted research particularly during adolescence.
