Resumen
El maltrato psicológico contra las mujeres por parte de la pareja puede adoptar muchas modalidades, incluyendo formas de abuso manifiesto y sutil. Los objetivos de esta investigación fueron adaptar al español la Escala de Abuso Psicológico Sutil y Manifiesto a las Mujeres-SOPAS (Marshall, 2000), y estudiar algunas de sus propiedades psicométricas, así como examinar su asociación con otros tipos de maltrato y con la sintomatología presentada por víctimas de violencia doméstica. El estudio se realizó con dos muestras: una muestra de 186 mujeres de la comunidad y una muestra de 157 mujeres víctimas de malos tratos. Los resultados apoyaron la estructura unifactorial del SOPAS, que fue equivalente en ambas muestras, y su alta consistencia interna. La muestra de víctimas puntuó mucho más alto en maltrato sutil que las mujeres de la comunidad. El maltrato sutil se asoció más intensamente a la depresión y estrés postraumático que otras medidas de maltrato psicológico empleadas en el estudio. Los resultados sugieren que el maltrato sutil constituye un tipo de maltrato con entidad propia, diferenciado del maltrato psicológico más abierto, y con un impacto importante en la salud mental de las víctimas.
Psychological abuse against women by an intimate partner can take many modalities, including forms of overt and subtle abuse. The objectives of this research were to adapt the Subtle and Overt Psycholog-ical Abuse of Women Scale-SOPAS (Marshall, 2000) to Spanish women, and to study some of its psychometric properties, as well as to examine its association with other types of abuse and with the symptoms shown by victims of domestic violence. The study was carried out with two sam-ples: a sample of 186 women from the community and a sample of 157 women victims of domestic violence. The results supported a one-dimension structure for the SOPAS, which was invariant for both sam-ples. The SOPAS presented high internal consistency. The sample of victims scored much higher in subtle abuse than women in the communi-ty. Subtle abuse was associated more strongly with depression and post-traumatic stress than other measures of psychological abuse used in the study. The findings suggest that subtle abuse is a distinct form of abuse, which is different from overt forms of psychological abuse and has a significant impact on the victims’ mental health.
