Namen magistrskega dela z naslovom Povezanost med izkušnjami zlorab v otroštvu in izkušnjami zlorab v kasnejših partnerskih razmerjih je bil preučiti povezavo med zlorabo v otroštvu in zlorabo v intimnem partnerskem odnosu. Zloraba v otroštvu napoveduje oz. poveča odstotke možnosti za nastanek anomalij kasneje v življenju, delinkventno vedenje v najstništvu, duševno mentalne bolezni ter zlorabo v intimnem partnerskem odnosu. Otroci, ki odraščajo v družinah, kjer je veliko nasilja in zlorab, se bodo kasneje v intimnih partnerskih odnosih soočali z močnimi občutki nepripadnosti, ki se odraža predvsem v nezmožnosti sočutja in čustvene bližine med partnerjema (Kompan Erzar 2006, 186). V teoretičnem delu smo pisali o zlorabi v otroštvu in zlorabi v intimnem partnerskem odnosu. Različne organizacije po svetu se trudijo zakonsko prepovedati zlorabo nad otroki, predvsem fizično, a naletijo na težave, ker je zloraba, predvsem fizična, zelo razširjena, saj je večina ljudi doživela nasilje ali ga izvaja. Ljudje tudi težko priznajo napake staršev in ne želijo dvomiti o vzgoji svojih staršev ali lastni vzgoji, kar prispeva, da smo do zlorab, predvsem fizične in psihične narave, zelo tolerantni. V raziskavi smo želeli preveriti, ali lahko potrdimo povezanost med zlorabo v otroštvu in zlorabo v intimnem partnerskem odnosu. Po pregledu literature je narejeno veliko sorodnih raziskav, ki iščejo povezanost med zlorabo v otroštvu ter duševnim zdravjem posameznika. S svojo raziskavo smo potrdili povezavo z zlorabo v otroštvu in zlorabo v intimnem partnerskem odnosu. Na začetku se oseba v nasilnem partnerskem odnosu ne zaveda, kaj se dogaja, saj je nasilje, najpogosteje je to psihično nasilje, s katerim se začne nasilje v odnosu, skrito pod krinko ljubezni in skrbi za drugega. (Aničič idr. 2002, 130) Za konflikt so največkrat razlogi pričakovanje moškega glede domačega dela, nato sledijo ljubosumje in posesivnost, poskus ženske, da bo zapustila moža, vzgoja otrok itd. (Filipčič 2002, 93) S svojo kvantitativno raziskavo smo ugotovili statistično pomembne povezave med zlorabo v otroštvu, doživljanjem antipatije in zavrnitvijo s strani staršev oz. skrbnikov ter zlorabo v intimnem partnerskem odnosu. Statistično pomembne razlike smo dobili tudi med posamezniki, ki so doživeli dolgotrajno odsotnost starša do 18. leta starosti, in tistimi, ki odsotnosti niso doživeli o doživljanju kombinirane zlorabe v intimnem partnerskem odnosu. Statistično pomembnih razlik pa nismo dobili med tistimi, ki so doživeli izgubo, in tistimi, ki niso, za dimenzijo fizično in čustveno zlorabo ter nadlegovanje v intimnem partnerskem odnosu. Statistično pomembno razliko smo dobili med udeleženci, ki so že bili v partnerskem intimnem odnosu, in tistimi, ki še niso bili, za dimenzijo doživljanje antipatije s strani očeta v otroštvu. Statistično pomembnih razlik nismo potrdili med tistimi, ki so že bili v partnersko intimnem odnosu, in tistimi, ki še niso bili, da so slednji doživeli več izkušenj zlorab v otroštvu, manj empatije ter več zavrnitve s strani mame in očeta.

• Title: The relationship between child abuse and abuse in intimate relationships later in life

Abstract

This master's thesis, aimed to examine the correlation between child abuse and intimate partner violence. Child abuse predicts or at least increases the odds of developing anomalies later in life, delinquent behaviour in adolescence, mental illness, and intimate partner violence. Children who grow up in families where violence and abuse are prevalent will later experience intense feelings of inadequacy in intimate partner relationships, reflected in the inability to feel compassion and emotional closeness between partners (Kompan Erzar 2006, 186). The theoretical part of the thesis discusses child abuse and intimate partner violence. Various organisations worldwide are trying to stop child abuse – particularly physical abuse – by law. However, this is proving difficult because abuse, especially physical abuse, is widespread. Most people have experienced violence or are perpetrators of it. It is also difficult for people to admit their parents' faults or question their or their parents' upbringing: this makes people very tolerant of abuse, particularly physical and psychological abuse. The purpose of the study was to see whether we could establish a relationship between child abuse and intimate partner violence. After reviewing the literature, we found that several studies on the link between child abuse and the individual's mental health had already been conducted. Our study confirmed the relationship between child abuse and intimate partner violence. Persons in abusive relationships are initially unaware of what is happening. Violence, particularly psychological violence, which is how most intimate partner violence starts, is typically hidden under the guise of love and care for the other person. (Aničič et al. 2002, 130). The most frequent reasons for conflict within the relationship are men's expectations of domestic work, jealousy, and possessiveness, women's attempts to leave their husbands, the upbringing of the children, etc. (Filipčič 2002, 93). Our quantitative study found statistically significant correlations between child abuse, antipathy and rejection by parents or caregivers, and intimate partner violence. Statistically significant differences were also found between persons affected by prolonged parental absence (for all 18 years) and persons unaffected by it regarding experiencing a combination of intimate partner violence. No statistically significant differences were found between persons who experienced loss and persons regarding physical and emotional abuse and harassment in intimate partner relationships. However, we found a statistically significant difference between participants who had been in an intimate partner relationship and those who had not in terms of experiencing antipathy from their fathers or male caregivers in childhood. We did not find statistically significant differences between those in an intimate partner relationship and those who were not. The latter experienced more child abuse, less empathy, and more rejection from their parents or caregivers.
