Resumen

La adolescencia es un periodo de expansión de las relaciones y redes sociales, e inherentemente, de aumento de las situaciones conflictivas y violentas. Por ello, nuestro objetivo es analizar la gestión discursiva de conflictos grupales y violencia de pareja en adolescentes, explorando los modos conversacionales y los contenidos que articulan la conversación durante el afrontamiento de las situaciones controvertidas. Mediante una aproximación analítica que combina técnicas estadísticas y cualitativas, estudiamos el discurso de 42 chicos y chicas entre 14 y 17 años, debatiendo en grupos de discusión sobre dilemas. Los resultados muestran el efecto combinado de las variables tipo de grupo y tipo de dilema sobre los modos conversacionales de gestión, destacando el disputativo (imposiciones, mandatos…) cuando chicos y chicas debaten juntos sobre un episodio de violencia de género. Referente a los contenidos, se observan mayores diferencias temáticas entre chicos y chicas ante la violencia de pareja, evidenciándose el carácter situado del discurso; así, los chicos no visibilizan el maltrato mientras que las chicas asumen responsabilidad. Finalmente, se ofrecen algunas consideraciones para la práctica aplicada.

Abstract

Adolescence as a period is associated to the extension of social relationships and networks, and, inherently, to an increase of conflicts and situations of violence. Therefore, our aim is to analyse the discursive management of group conflicts and partner violence in adolescents, exploring conversational modes and contents that articulate conversation during the discussion of controversial situations. Using an analytical approach that combines statistical and qualitative techniques, we studied the discourse produced by 42 boys and girls (aged 14 to 17 years), during group discussion of dilemmas. The results evidence the combined effect of the variables type of group and type of dilemma on the conversational modes of conflict management, with a predominance of the disputative form (impositions, commands.) when boys and girls discuss together about an episode of gender violence. Regarding the contents, there are larger thematic differences between boys and girls to partner violence, providing some evidence of the situated character of the discourse; so, boys do not recognize maltreatment while girls take responsibility. Finally, some considerations for applied practice are presented.
