Book excerpt: Dating violence (DV) and cyber dating abuse (CDA) is an eminent public health issue with significant implications on young adult females. The purpose of this mixed-method study was to explore the prior exposure to behaviors associated with DV and CDA of females aged 18-25 years attending college in Texas or California, and to ascertain their knowledge and attitudes of DV- and CDA-related behaviors, campus support services, and prevention programs. Limited studies have researched the perceptions and attitudes of dating violence victimization among female college students exclusively. This study wanted to gain a deeper understanding of the perceptions of what college females aged 18-25 years perceive as DV and CDA behaviors. Participants completed an on-line demographic survey, the Cyber Dating Abuse Questionnaire (CDAQ) and the Dating Violence Questionnaire-Revised (DVQ-R). Additionally, participants participated in a face-to-face semi-structured interview with the researcher. Twenty participants who resided in Texas and California participated in the study. The data analysis utilized descriptive statistics to interpret the demographic items (sex, age, race and ethnicity, location of college, and status of abuse in a dating relationship), as well as frequencies, means of the sum scores, and standard deviations of the DVQ-R and CDAQ scales and subscales. Spearman correlations were computed between the scales with age and grade level. Mann-Whitney U tests were conducted to assess differences by ethnicity (Latina vs. Other) and by whether or not the participants had ever been in an abusive relationship. Primary and secondary nodes were utilized for the qualitative analysis. Responses to the DVQ-R and CDAQ were scored and compared to the feedback from the semi-structured interview responses on DV victimization. The DVQ-R was analyzed on the frequency and disturbance/distress of DV victimization behaviors that participants experienced in a dating relationship. The study revealed college females aged 18-24 years did not currently experience the four cyber dating abuse types, but they had experienced it in the past. Moreover, the college female students aged 18-24 years reported experiencing a mild or moderate level of disturbance for each of the five behaviors of detachment, humiliation, sexual, coercion, and physical dating violence in their dating relationship. The qualitative results of the study revealed that the participants were more definitive in their descriptions of physical and sexual DV in their interview responses compared to their answers on the survey. Finally, participants reported DV and CDA prevention programs should include the recognition of abuse, CDA awareness, enhancing self-esteem, effective communication, and how to leave an abusive relationship and/or seek help. Therefore, the results from the current study could help in the development of specific health education DV and CDA prevention strategies for college females.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dating violence is a serious public health and safety problem in colleges and universities. Due to its prevalence, many universities and colleges across the nation have started to implement programs for the prevention and intervention of dating violence. Dating violence can have serious implications in students’ health that can affect their academic success. College students who experience dating violence are at higher risk to develop depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress. Studies have demonstrated that students who experience dating violence usually disclose it to peers and friends, but oftentimes their peers do not have the necessary skills to be able to help them. This was an exploratory study, which used a convenient sample comprised of 53 student leaders from an urban community college. Most of the participants were second year students, they were mostly vii females (n = 24) and males (n = 27), between the ages of 18 through 27 years old, mostly heterosexual, White and Hispanic/Latino. The participants held leadership roles as courseembedded tutors and lead peer mentors on campus. This study measured their perceptions and knowledge about dating violence. To measure these two variables (perceptions and knowledge), the researcher used two questionnaires that were previously used by Khubchandani et al (2012) to assess high school counselors' knowledge, training, perceptions, and practices on dealing with dating violence. To fit with this current study, the researcher made one modification to the perceptions’ questionnaire. The modification consisted of changing the words “school counselors” to “student leaders.” Descriptive and frequency statistics were calculated and measured participants’ perceptions and knowledge about dating violence. Statistical findings suggested that participants were willing to help in the prevention and intervention of dating violence in the community college by learning strategies in the prevention and intervention of dating violence. However, statistical findings demonstrated that participants significantly lacked knowledge about what constitutes dating violence. This study also included a short questionnaire with demographical questions that analyzed gender differences between females and males’ scores from bot questionnaires. Independent sample t-tests were calculated and findings demonstrated that there were no statistical gender differences between participants for neither the perceptions questionnaire nor the knowledge questionnaire about dating violence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACTSince the issue of dating violence emerged onto the research agenda in the 1980s, researchers have focused upon measuring the prevalence of physical violence occurring in young people?s intimate relationships, using quantitative methods. Surveys, which have limited young people?s reporting to stating whether or not they have perpetrated or sustained any of a fixed range of predetermined violent acts, have formed the dominant methodological approach. In the main, dating violence studies have focused on researching university students in the United States of America, and young people not attending American universities are an under-researched population in the dating violence literature. The dearth of qualitative approaches to past studies of dating violence has meant that young people?s own accounts of their experiences, attitudes and perceptions of dating violence and abuse have been afforded minimal focus. Feminist theoretical approaches to dating violence research are now emerging, contributing a valuable gendered analysis of the issues. Through qualitative interviews with forty five young people aged 16-21 (23 men and 22 women), recruited primarily from a Further Education college and an organisation working with young people not in education, employment or training, this thesis explores young people?s attitudes, perceptions and experiences of violence and abuse in intimate dating relationships, through a feminist theoretical lens. The study is couched in a rich body of feminist empirical and theoretical literature, which conceptualises intimate partner violence as primarily an issue of men?s violence against women, perpetrated with the rationale of maintaining power and control. The impact that popular theoretical discourses of gender equality and female empowerment may have upon young people?s capacity to acknowledge ongoing gender inequalities is also considered in this thesis. The findings of the current research indicate that young people?s dating relationships (and experiences of heterosexuality in general) reflect ongoing gender inequalities which are influenced to a great extent by patriarchal modes of power and control. The accounts of young men and women in this study established dating relationships as sites of imbalanced gender power, with many modes of men?s power control, surveillance and monitoring of their girlfriends described as?normal? and acceptable. There was a widespread perception among the participants that dating violence is an issue of?mutual combat? where women are just as likely as men to be perpetrators, even though their experiences of dating violence largely reflected the pattern of female victims and male perpetrators. In regard to violence against women by men, many of the participants perceived men?s violence to be understandable in the face of women?s provocation, particularly in cases where women are perceived to be?cheating?. For a significant minority of young people, intimate relationships are sites of violence and abuse, with women disproportionately the victims. The findings from this study indicate a lack of awareness of the avenues of support that can be accessed by young people experiencing dating violence and abuse. The findings also highlight a requirement for direct educative strategies to challenge some young people?s support for men?s violence against women.

Book excerpt: Rates of collegiate relationship violence are at an all-time high (Breiding, 2015). Although colleges and universities are taking steps towards reducing these rates, recent research has uncovered a fatal flaw in their methods: terminology. Lederman and Stewart (2003) surveyed relationship violence prevention campaigns across college campuses, finding 'domestic violence' as the most widely used name for collegiate relationship violence, yet also the one college students were least comfortable with using. 298 students at a large, southeastern university completed a survey through the online distribution tool Qualtrics. Using a basic 1-7 Likert Scale, students were asked to rate the appropriateness of the following terms: domestic violence, dating violence, dating abuse, intimate partner violence, intimate terrorism, and common couple violence. Findings indicate that students were significantly more likely to attribute the terms domestic violence, dating violence, and dating abuse to a situation if the perpetrator of violence was male rather than female. When partners were dating, students felt most comfortable with the terms 'dating violence' and 'dating abuse.' Most importantly, terminology was found to be correlated with perceptions of severity, blame, and recommendations for bystander action. Ultimately, this study suggests that schemas surround each possible relationship violence term, and offers the idea that simply adjusting what college student deem as 'domestic violence' could unlock the key to bystander intervention efforts and violence reduction in the future.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dating violence among college students, whether physical, sexual, or psychological is a serious problem with limited legal resources available for victims. Studies have shown that one in four undergraduate students is in an abusive dating relationship. In Kentucky, individuals in a dating relationship are not eligible to receive civil protective orders, leaving them without legal protection from abusive partners. A fifty-question survey was administered to 200 students enrolled in Justice Administration courses at the University of Louisville to determine what demographic factors might be related to attitudes toward abuse in dating relationships and whether or not dating partners should have legal protection from such abuse. The findings suggested that the gender of the perpetrator as well as gender of the respondent were related to perceptions of reported attitudes toward dating abuse but none of the demographic factors measured predicted attitudes toward legal protections defined as the use of Emergency Protective Orders (EPO's) in cases of abuse.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An online survey data collection and subsequent analysis were conducted to determine the influences on adolescent college students' perceptions of dating relationships and dating violence. Specifically, the study analyzed whether romanticized media, such as the Twilight series, had an impact on the respondents' perceptions of violent dating relationships. Moreover, this research attempted to identify if there was a relationship between an adolescent college students' perception of their family environment and/or demographics and their own self-reporting on dating violence behaviors. The key findings from this study reveal a significant correlation between dating violence victimization occurrences and dating violence perpetration occurrences. Moreover, this study revealed that as dating violence victimization occurrences went up, perceiving the Twilight relationships as romantic went down. Furthermore, this study revealed there was a significant negative correlation between perceptions that the Twilight relationships were romantic and perceptions that the relationships were violent. Findings contribute to the understanding of adolescent dating violence behaviors, occurrences, and the influences that impact adolescent perceptions in regard to violent, romantic relationships.

Download or read book Childhood Abuse Emotion Regulation Alcohol and Dating Violence Victimization as Cross sectional and Longitudinal Predictors of Dating Violence Perpetration Among College Women written by Ellen E. Haynes and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical and psychological dating violence is perpetrated by women at high rates on college campuses. Several risk factors have been identified that are associated with an increased risk of female-perpetrated dating violence, including a history of physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse in childhood. Moreover, some research suggests that childhood abuse increases difficulties in emotion regulation, and these difficulties may be associated with a higher risk of perpetrating dating violence. Lastly, alcohol use and women’s psychological, physical, and sexual dating violence victimization in adulthood are consistent predictors of women’s dating violence perpetration.

Download or read book Violence in Dating Relationships written by Jan E. Stets and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1989-05-19 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extremely valuable collection of fourteen chapters is divided into two sections, with the first section covering research on physical abuse in dating relationships and the second section covering the issue of sexual abuse in dating relationships. With the increasing public awareness of and concern about acquaintance rape, this is an excellent and timely book. It should be in the library of any researcher who studies violence against women and it would also be an invaluable resource for any college faculty or administrator who seeks to provide a healthy educational environment for all students. The Community Psychologist Fourteen significant articles on physical and sexual abuse in dating relationships provide a comprehensive, interdisciplinary review of the subject. The contributors to this anthology examine every aspect of the serious, but usually hidden social problems of dating violence. The articles create a theoretical framework for understanding physical and sexual abuse and chronicle the antecedents and consequences of different types of abusive behavior. State of the art research on dating violence provides the reader with extensive material. Each chapter ends with policy implications and directions for future research. Educators, researchers, and practitioners in sociology, criminology, psychology, psychiatry, and women's studies will find valuable information on this important subject. The first part of the collection presents statistical information and compares dating violence with cohabitating and marital violence. Such subjects as courtship aggression and the effects of gender identity and self-esteem on dating violence are explored. One study suggests two types of courtship violence--predatory violence and relational violence. Another addresses patterns in help seeking behavior by those abused. The second part of the book deals with sexual aggression in dating relationships. Victimization, as well as the prevalence, risk factors, and long term consequences of date rape are presented. Other topics include predictors of sexual aggression, dating behaviors and their relationship to the risk of date rape, and acquaintance rape.

Download or read book Sense of Entitlement and Dating Abusive Behavior in College Dating Relationships written by Corinne Dubroca Warrener and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study sought to explore the relationships between sense of entitlement, gender, and abusive behaviors among dating relationships in the emerging adulthood phase. The existing literature around abusive behaviors suggests differences in patterns, motivations, and use of abusive behaviors by gender (Konrath, Bushman, & Campbell, 2006; Luthra & Gidycz, 2006; Stark, 2009; Straus, 2004). Self-Salience Theory provides a foundation for understanding the interaction of gender and abusive behaviors, while also suggesting that sense of entitlement (or the act of privileging oneself over a partner) is a key component in motivation for abusive behaviors (Rosenfield, Vertefeuille, & McAlpine, 2000). The current study examined gender differences in entitlement and abuse and investigated whether sense of entitlement is a good explanatory variable for abusive behavior. Data were collected from the study body of a private university in New Jersey and the subsample of 18-25 year olds in dating relationships was used for the analysis. The survey was conducted during the 2011-2012 school year and collected responses anonymously online. Bivariate and multivariate analyses did not find significant differences in rates of abuse by gender, but did find that sense of entitlement is a better predictor of men's behavior than women's behavior. Sense of entitlement explains a small amount of the variance for abusive behavior in the sample that included men and women; it explained little to no variance in the women's subsample while explaining a much greater amount of the variance in the men's subsample. Hierarchical regression determined that the interaction between gender and sense of entitlement is an important factor in explaining abusive behavior. The following dissertation reviews the relevant literature, including a background on dating violence, abusive behaviors, entitlement, theory, and current debates over gender in the dating violence literature. The dissertation will provide an in-depth review of data collection methods and the statistical analyses used to explore the relationships between gender, sense of entitlement, and abuse. The final chapter reviews the results, implications, limitations, and conclusions of the study.
