ABSTRACT
Various works of research into violence in relationships between young couples refer to a lack of perception of some behavior patterns such as abuse. This means that the relationship has the potential risk of developing into one of victimization should it last into adulthood. Although it has been shown that this phenomenon may occur in any sector of the population, the interest of our study rests upon determining the prevalence of the perception of violent behavior patterns in relationships between adolescent and young adult couples. We also aim to analyze the differences obtained with respect to the characteristics of the aggressors in the young Afro-Colombian population of Quibdó, Colombia. The participants in the study consisted of 540 young Afro-Colombians of both sexes between 15 and 27 years of age. The instrument used was the reduced version of the Dating Violence Questionnaire. The results show a high level of victimization through violent behavior on the part of the partner, in great measure exercised by generalist aggressors. However, a small proportion could be perceived as abuse. The implications and possible means of intervention are discussed.

Resumen La investigación emerge con el interés de analizar el perdón y la reconciliación desde los canticos tradicionales (Alabaos) sobre la muerte, en el marco de violencia derivada del conflicto armado, en situaciones vividas en las comunidades en el municipio de Andagoya -departamento del Chocó (Colombia). Se analizan las vivencias de las personas en torno a la expresión sentimientos a través de los "alabaos", gualies y levantamientos de tumbas, propios de esta región del Pacífico para despedir el alma de las personas cuando estas han fallecido y cómo estas prácticas operan, a la hora de tramitar el perdón y la reconciliación de manera individual y colectiva.
