Resumo
A violência nas relações íntimas tem sido um infortúnio de génese antiga, mas bem presente nas relações amorosas da atualidade, mais precisamente, no namoro. O presente artigo teve como objetivo principal perceber a relação entre a violência no namoro, a autoestima e a inteligência emocional. A amostra foi constituída por 435 estudantes, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 53 anos, dos quais 354 (81,4%) do género feminino e 81 (18,6%) do género masculino. Como instrumentos foram utilizados o Social Environment Questionnaire (SEQ); as Revised Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS2); a Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) e o Questionário de Autoperceção de Inteligência Emocional (QIE-AP). Os resultados evidenciaram que, relativamente à prevalência dos comportamentos efetuados pelos agressores, o género feminino tende a recorrer mais à negociação. Na agressão psicológica, o género feminino perpetrou mais este comportamento, contrariamente ao uso do abuso físico com sequelas, onde o género masculino recorreu mais a esta forma de violência. A inteligência emocional prediz a negociação, no agressor e na vítima. A autoestima prediz negativamente a agressão psicológica e o abuso físico sem sequelas, nos agressores e nas vítimas. A negociação, assim como, a agressão psicológica, o abuso físico sem e com sequelas, praticada pelos agressores e vivenciada pelas vítimas, está positivamente associada com a inteligência emocional. Concluindo, os resultados da investigação foram, maioritariamente, os esperados, tanto para os agressores, como para as vítimas, com a exceção da diferenciação do género. Ultimando assim, com uma reflexão sobre as

limitações que foram encontradas, neste tipo de procedimentos, apresentando, também, possíveis formas de aperfeiçoamento para ações de prevenção junto deste tipo de população e de toda a sua rede social.
ABSTRACT Violence in intimate relationships has been a misfortune of old genesis, but widely current in nowadays amorous relationships, more precisely, in the courtship. The main purpose of this article was to understand the relationship between dating violence, self-esteem and emotional intelligence. The sample consisted of 435 students, aged between 18 and 53, of which 354 (81.4%) were female and 81 (18.6%) were male. As work instruments were used the Social Environment Questionnaire (SEQ); Revised Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS2); Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and Self-Perception Questionnaire for Emotional Intelligence (QIE-AP). The results showed that in relation to the prevalence of the behaviors carried out by the aggressors, the female gender tends to solve a conflict based on negotiation. In the psychological aggression, the female gender perpetrated more this behavior, contrarily to the use of physical abuse with sequels, the form of violence to which the masculine gender resorted more often. Considering the subjects interviewed, emotional intelligence predicts negotiation, on the aggressor and victim. Self-esteem negatively predicts psychological aggression and physical abuse without sequels, both in the aggressors and victims inquired. The negotiation, as well as the psychological aggression, physical abuse with and without sequels, practiced by the aggressors and experienced by the victims, is positively associated with emotional intelligence. In conclusion, the results of the investigation were, for the most part, those expected the aggressors and the victims, with the exception of gender differentiation. Finally, with a reflection on the limitations that were found, in this type of procedures, presenting, also, possible ways of improvement for prevention actions with this type of population and its entire social network.
