gaslighting, relacionamentos íntimos, violência psicológica, revisão de escopoResumo
Este estudo realizou uma revisão de escopo sobre o gaslighting em relacionamentos íntimos, com o objetivo de analisar como a literatura científica tem estudado o fenômeno, em adultos, sem restringir os estudos com base no sexo, identidade de gênero ou tipo de relação afetiva dos parceiros envolvidos. A pesquisa foi conduzida nas bases de dados Scopus, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycNet, PubMed, PsycInfo e Sage Journals, e uma busca complementar no Google Acadêmico com o objetivo de rastrear estudos nacionais não indexados em periódicos de alto impacto. Os achados resultaram em 14 estudos considerados elegíveis para a inclusão na análise principal. Os resultados demonstraram que o gaslighting em relacionamentos íntimos tem sido investigado sob sete perspectivas principais: fatores de risco e preditores, táticas ou mecanismos, motivações, instrumentos de avaliação, danos causados às vítimas, estratégias de coping e variáveis correlatas do gaslighting. É importante destacar que os artigos selecionados adotaram um delineamento amostral de conveniência, composto predominantemente com amostras do gênero feminino, o que pode influenciar a compreensão deste fenômeno. Em suma, estima-se que os achados desse estudo possam contribuir para o desenvolvimento de novas pesquisas sobre o fenômeno, especialmente em contexto brasileiro e possibilitem uma discussão de estratégias de intervenção que busquem identificar, prevenir e enfrentar essa forma de violência nas relações amorosas, a fim de promover relacionamentos mais saudáveis.
