This survey appears to be voluntary. The results (n = 5676) are published here.

There was a social media campaign last year united around the hashtag #amigadatecuenta, wherein the goal was to raise awareness of the problem of microviolence and abuse within relationships.

I took it providing fictional answers to see what the results would be so that I could better understand the survey data. Apparently, my fictional relationship is showing some warning signs.

If you're curious about the content of the survey rather than just the results, navigate to the write-up at the bottom to read the survey questions and how I categorized them.

Methodology

First, I am by no means a firsthand expert on this subject, luckily.

For the sake of analysis, I'm going to try to "code" these questions into four categories of abuse:

• Social
• Emotional
• Physical
• Sexual

All questions have a the following possible responses and I'll assign point values:

• Siempre (Always) => A => 2 points
• A veces (Sometimes) => B => 1 point
• Nunca (Never) => C => 0 points
