TRUJANO, P.; NAVA, C.; TEJEDA, E.  y  GUIERREZ, S.. Confirmatory study about the frecuency and perception of the violence: The VIDOFyP like an evaluation instrument and some psychosocial reflections. Psychosocial Intervention [online]. 2006, vol.15, n.1, pp.95-110. ISSN 2173-4712.

The current job had as objective to confirm the utility, reliability and validity of the instrument named VIDOFyP (Violencia Doméstica: Frecuencia y Percepción) (Mendoza y Trujano, 1998; en Trujano y Mendoza, 2003), to identify what attitudes and behaviors are perceived like violent in a couple of women of different ages and educative level situations, and also knowing with what frequency are presented, and from this information, to know the possible relationship between the violent behavior perception and it’s happening, replying two previous studies part of a bigger investigation. The sample was formed by 200 women divided in two studies. In the first one, there were incorporated fifty teenagers women and fifty young women; and in the second one, fifty women with a high professional level (degree) and fifty with a basic level (primary school). The information was found by using the VIDOFyP, and it allowed to see the presence of violent behaviors in both studies. In general, the young women and the women with a professional level showed a bigger perception of violence. The violence modality better perceived in both studies was the psychological one. A high experience and a high professional level apparently provide (although no guarantee) the bigger perception and the fewer frequency of violent behavior. The instrument showed its utility by been observed satisfactory level of reliability and validity.
