Resumen La violencia intrafamiliar ha generado un gran interés en la comunidad científica internacional, no obstante, hasta hace apenas unos años se comenzó a investigar el fenómeno emergente de la violencia filio-parental. En México, específicamente, los antecedentes disponibles hasta el momento sobre este fenómeno siguen siendo escasos, por ello el objetivo de esta investigación ha sido explorar la prevalencia de la violencia filio-parental en la etapa de la adultez emergente, considerando distintos tipos de convivencia con los progenitores. Participaron 408 mujeres y 153 hombres, universitarios, mexicanos, con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 27 años, quienes contestaron parte del Adolescent Child-to-Parent Aggression Questionnaire. Los resultados señalaron que ciertamente existieron conductas de violencia filio-parental cometidas por ambos sexos, sobre todo de tipo psicológico, y principalmente dirigidas hacia la madre. Entre otras cuestiones, se discute la mayor presencia de la violencia psicológica, así como la posible vulnerabilidad de las progenitoras, sin olvidar la imperiosa necesidad de continuar con investigaciones sobre este fenómeno en población mexicana, haciendo énfasis en la mayor comprensión de la violencia filio-parental para la elaboración de planes de prevención sobre esta problemática aun no suficientemente reconocida por la comunidad académica científica en México.

Abstract Domestic violence phenomenon has caught interest by the world-wide scientific community yet, it's only been that child-to parent aggression started to be subject of study until a few years ago. To be precise, in Mexico the available data about this particular phenomenon are very scarce, because of this, the objective of this research was to explore Child-to-parent violence on emerging adults, while keeping in mind the different ways in which they relate with their parents. 408 females and 153 males, college students, ranging on ages between 18 and 27 years old, participated by answering a section of the Adolescent Child-to-Parent Aggression Questionnaire. Results pointed out that there are child-to-parent aggressive behaviors committed by both sexes against parents, in particular the psychological type and mainly directed towards the mother. Among other issues, it is discussed the greater presence of psychological violence as well as the possible vulnerability of female progenitors, without missing of view the urgent need to continue research of this phenomenon in Mexican population, emphasizing the need for greater understanding of child-to parent violence in order to be able to elaborate prevention strategies on this topic, which has not been appropriately recognized by the Mexican scientific community.
