Identificación de factores que inciden en las distintas prácticas de violencia en el noviazgo empleando Análisis Factorial Múltiple y Análisis Clúster: una aplicación en dos instituciones universitarias en Bogotá D.C.

Abstract

Violence in the context of dating relationships is a problem that has been growing in recent years. Unfortunately, in Colombia and in many Latin American countries, it is a poorly studied topic. However, various studies conducted primarily in the United States and Europe suggest that the presence of violence during this stage significantly increases the likelihood of its replication in marriage or cohabiting relationships, thus affecting entire families. Most studies on this topic propose different variables believed to directly influence the occurrence of violence within dating relationships but in a theoretical manner. For this reason, the present study conducted at two universities in the city of Bogotá, it aims to validate these variables using statistical tools such as Multiple Factor Analysis and Cluster Analysis. The ultimate goal is to construct a violence index that can identify individuals at risk of experiencing violence in a dating relationship.
