Resumo
A investigação no domínio do impacto da vitimação tem-se focado mais nos indicadores de psicopatologia e menos investimento tem sido feito ao nível do funcionamento positivo e especificamente no bem-estar. Existe assim, a necessidade de uma abordagem mais compreensiva do impacto causado, analisando fatores que podem ter um papel explicativo na relação entre vitimação e saúde mental. O Suporte Social tem-se mostrado um fator protetor da saúde mental, contudo a investigação sobre o papel específico do Suporte Social Online ainda é escassa. O presente estudo teve como objetivo central analisar o papel moderador do suporte social online na relação entre violência nas relações íntimas femininas e o bem-estar subjetivo. A amostra foi composta por 127 participantes, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 61 anos (M = 27.91; DP = 8.47) e maioritariamente do sexo feminino (97.7%). Os dados foram recolhidos online, através da aplicação de um questionário sociodemográfico e versões adaptadas da SGM - Conflict Tactics Scale-2, Medida de controlo coercivo, Escala de táticas de VRI específica para SGM, Escala de Suporte Social Online e Escala de Satisfação com a Vida. Os resultados obtidos revelaram correlações estatisticamente significativas entre as experiências de controle coercivo (total) e o bem-estar subjetivo. Paralelamente, verificou-se a não confirmação do efeito moderador na amostragem geral e na subamostra só de vítimas. Este estudo veio salientar a importância de cada vez mais os profissionais integrarem abordagens de promoção de bem-estar. Acrescentando-se também, a importância do crescimento científico na área do suporte social online e na área da violência psicológica, mais especificamente, no controlo coercivo, alertando para outras realidades violentas, como violência entre casais não heterossexuais.

Research on the impact of victimization has focused more on indicators of psychopathology and less investment has been made at the level of positive functioning specifically on well-being. Thus, there is a need for a more comprehensive approach to the impact caused, analysing factors that may have a role in explaining the relationship between victimization and mental health. Social Support has been shown to be a protective factor for mental health, however research on the specific role of Online Social Support is still scarce. The present study aimed to analyse the moderating role of online social support in the relationship between violence in female intimate relationships and subjective well-being. The sample consisted of 127 participants, ages between 18 and 61 years (M = 27.91; SD = 8.47) and mostly female (97.7%). Data was collected online, through the application of a sociodemographic questionnaire and adapted versions of the SGM - Conflict Tactics Scale-2, Coercive Control Measure, SGM-specific VRI Tactics Scale, Online Social Support Scale and Life Satisfaction Scale. The results obtained revealed statistically significant correlations between experiences of coercive control (total) and subjective well-being. At the same time, there was no confirmation of the moderating effect in the general sample and in the subsample of victims only. This study has highlighted the importance of more and more professionals integrating approaches to promote well-being. In addition, the importance of scientific growth in the area of online social support and in the area of psychological violence, specifically in coercive control, alerting to other violent realities, such as violence between non-heterosexual couples.
