Family dimensions were examined by the Family Cohesion and Adaptability Questionnaire (FACES III). Experiences of violence in emotional relationships were examined by the subscale for assessment of emotional violence of Questionnaire for assessing forms and frequency of violence in emotional relationships of youth. Young people who have experiences of emotional violence in relationships estimate the dimensions of cohesiveness (t (1486.66) = 5.52, p = .000) and adaptability (t (1509) = 2.92, p = .004), significantly lower than the control group. Girls who have experienced emotional violence in relationships estimate family adaptability significantly lower than girls who do not have this experience (t (804.36) = 3.79, p = .000). Young people with experience of this type of violence evaluate and cohesiveness (t (650) = 3.56, p = .000) and adaptability (t (650) = 2.11, p = .035) of their families significantly lower in comparison to young men in the control group.
