Abstract

Abusive relationships are those permeated by violence in an institutionalized way. We aimed to understand the meanings attributed by a group of young academics from Manaus to an abusive relationship. It is qualitative research. We carried out a focus group with eight participants and eight individuals using a semi-structured interview. Data were analyzed through the analysis of meaning cores. As a result, we built four nuclei of meanings: 1st) Jealousy; 2nd) Controlling Behavior; 3rd) Violence; 4) Experiences of the Victim, which showed that gender norms sustain a violent relationship, which is mediated by jealousy, control behaviors, and attempts at social isolation.
