THE VERBAL AGRESSION OF PARENTAL MODELS AND ITS CONSEQUENCES ON CHILD BEHAVIOR

Abstract

This research is a qualitative and explanatory literature review. The main objective is to understand the impact that parents' verbal aggression causes on children's behavior. Books, articles, dissertations, and journals were used in the Scielo, Google Scholar, Lilacs and Pepsic databases, with a search through titles and abstracts. As a research problem, we sought to elucidate the possibility of children subsequently repeating the verbal aggression received from their parents since early childhood. The theme of aggressiveness was approached as a behavior that affects the other, causing physical and behavioral damage, motivated by reasons that can be varied, among them, the guarantee of survival and preservation of the species. The research showed that verbal aggressive behavior can be learned by the child in the family environment in which he is inserted, when exposed to aggressive models, evidencing the possibility of emitting the same behavior in adult life. It is noteworthy that verbal aggression emitted by parents to the child can cause consequences in behavior such as: escape, avoidance, fear, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
