ABSTRACT

One of the problems that arise in the Family Courts is the constant complaints of one parent about the other (judicial harassment) up to the children’s age of majority or, in some extreme cases, even harming the children to attack the parent who usually has custody. This behavior is typical of Machiavellian progenitors, but this connection has hardly been studied in the literature. The aim of this study was to design and assess an instrument for measuring the Machiavellian manipulation of children, a crucial technique in forensic contexts. A 12-category observation instrument, the Machiavellian Manipulation Scale (MMS), was designed and analyzed, using a sample of 90 separated or divorced Spanish fathers and 90 mothers. The reliability, construct validity (five factors were obtained), and concurrent validity (correlated to the items on Christie and Geis´s Mach-IV scale) of the instrument were adequate. Differences between fathers and mothers on the scale were examined. The possible future lines of investigation are discussed, as the determination of Machiavellianism of one of the parents can be a good predictor of manipulation of the children to attack and take revenge on the other parent.

Machiavellianism和操纵儿童作为儿童监护权纠纷的策略:MMS量表

摘要

家庭法院中出现的问题之一是,直到父母成年子女的年龄,一名父母就不断投诉另一名父母(司法骚扰),或者在某些极端情况下,甚至伤害了孩子来攻击通常由监护权的父母。 。这种行为是马基雅维利族祖先的典型行为,但这种联系在文献中很少研究。这项研究的目的是设计和评估一种用于测量儿童马基雅维利操纵行为的工具,这是法医环境中的一项关键技术。设计并分析了一种12类观察仪器,即马基雅维利操纵量表(MMS),使用了90位分居或离婚的西班牙父亲和90位母亲的样本。可靠性,构建效度(获得了五个因素),仪器的同时有效性(与科视和盖伊斯的Mach-IV等级相关)是足够的。研究了父亲和母亲之间在规模上的差异。讨论了未来可能的研究方向,因为确定其中一位父母的马基雅维利主义可以很好地预测操纵孩子攻击另一位父母并报仇的行为。
