La violence fraternelle est tenue comme la forme la plus prédominante de violence familiale: cependant, elle est généralement perçue comme inoffensive. Dans un échantillon de 463 adolescents portugais ayant des frères nous avons eu pour but de: a) évaluer la fréquence des comportements violents dans la fratrie: b) vérifier dans quelle mesure ils sont associés aux différentes tactiques de résolution de conflit fraternel : et c) chercher à savoir si ces tactiques varient en fonction de l’âge, du sexe et du type de fratrie. Les outils auxquels nous avons fait appel sont le Questionnaire sociographique (QSB) et les Revised Conflict Tactics Scales – Sibling Version (CTS2‑SP). Les résultats ont indiqué que les frères recourent davantage à la négociation pour résoudre les conflits: cependant, la violence psychologique présente aussi des pourcentages élevés, les adolescents les plus âgés, le sexe féminin et les dyades mixtes étant ceux qui font le plus usage de la violence. Nous en avons conclu que la violence fraternelle est hautement prédominante et qu’il est donc important de sensibiliser les parents et les professionnels à cette réalité.
A violência fraterna é considerada a forma mais prevalente de violência familiar; porém, é geralmente encarada como inofensiva. Numa amostra de 463 adolescentes portugueses com irmãos objetivou‑se: a) estimar a frequência dos comportamentos violentos na fratria; b) verificar em que medida se associam as diferentes táticas de resolução de conflito fraterno; e c) analisar se essas táticas variam em função da idade, do sexo e do tipo de fratria. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o Questionário sociobiográfico (QSB) e as Revised Conflict Tactics Scales – Sibling Version (CTS2‑SP). Os resultados indicaram que os irmãos usam mais a negociação para resolver os conflitos; contudo, a violência psicológica apresenta também percentagens elevadas, sendo os adolescentes mais velhos, o sexo feminino e as díades mistas a usar mais violência. Concluiu‑se que a violência fraterna é altamente prevalente, tornando‑se importante sensibilizar pais e profissionais para esta realidade.
Sibling violence is considered to be the most prevalent form of family violence although it is generally viewed as inoffensive. In a sample of 463 Portuguese adolescents with siblings, the aim was: a) to estimate the frequency of violent behavior between siblings; b) to verify to what extent different tactics are used for the resolution of sibling conflict; c) to analyze whether these tactics vary with age, sex, or type of sibling relationship. The instruments used were a Socio‑Biographical Questionnaire (SBQ) and the Revised Conflict Tactics Scales – Sibling Version (CTS2‑SP). The results indicated that the siblings are more likely to use negotiation to resolve conflict; however, psychological violence was also found to present high percentages, with older adolescents, females, and opposite‑sex sibling pairings using more violence. It was concluded that sibling violence showed high prevalence, making it important that parents and professionals become aware of this reality.
