This book was released on 2012 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical and psychological aggression in dating relationships is prevalent among college students (e.g., Kaura & Lohman, 2007; Shook, Gerrity, Jurich, & Segrist, 2000; Straus, 2008), and students experiencing dating IPV are most likely to speak to friends (Prospero & Vohra-Gupta, 2008). The current study investigated differences in perceptions of heterosexual dating IPV and help-seeking recommendations for a friend as a function of scenario type (e.g., male perpetrator/female victim and female perpetrator/male victim) and participant sex. The study also examined gender role attitudes and attitudes toward dating violence that have been associated with perceptions of dating IPV (e.g., Berkel et al., 2004; Coleman & Stith, 1997; Hillier & Foddy, 1993; Hilton, Harris, & Rice, 2003; Willis, Hallinan, & Melby, 1996). A college sample (N=200) read a dating IPV scenario depicting either male-to-female or female-to-male dating IPV. A series of 2x2 ANCOVAs, controlling for previous exposure to IPV and attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help, showed that women were more likely than men to hold more egalitarian gender role attitudes, be less accepting of dating violence, perceive the behaviors in the dating scenario as more serious, and be more likely to recommend that a friend seek help at the counseling center. Participants were more likely to recommend the counseling center for female victims than male victims. Path analysis results provided initial support for a theoretical model of counseling center help-seeking recommendations.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Demographic Effects on Attitudes Toward Dating Violence Among College Students and the Need for Legal Protections written by Kellianne K. Doan and published by . 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.

Download or read book Collegiate Dating Violence written by Kathleen Elizabeth Kline and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research has indicated few victims of dating violence seek help for abuse or violence experienced in the hands of a dating partner, a failure that has led to rising healthcare costs and unreported crime. Attachment theory and the social support network orientation model have been used in understanding differences in attachment style and help-seeking behavior among individuals seeking help for medical and psychological problems, but the differences in these variables among victims of dating violence have not been examined. The purpose of this quantitative web-based study was to examine differences in type of abuse or violence experienced, attachment style, and help-seeking behavior between collegiate male and female victims of dating violence in heterosexual and same-sex relationships. A sample of 149 collegiate males and females involved in heterosexual and same-sex relationships completed the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS2), the Relationship Scales Questionnaire (RSQ), and the General Help Seeking Questionnaire (GHSQ)/Actual Help Seeking Questionnaire (AHSQ) to measure the effect of the independent variables, gender and sexual orientation, on the dependent variables, type of abuse or violence experienced, attachment style, and help-seeking behavior. The results of the MANOVA and chi-square analyses revealed: (a) no significant effect between one's gender and sexual orientation and type of abuse or violence experienced and style of attachment, (b) male and female victims of dating violence in same-sex relationships were less likely to seek help from formal sources than male and female victims in heterosexual relationships, and (c) type of actual help secured is independent of help-seeking behavior, The results of this study demonstrate a need for social change in the way victimization by dating violence is perceived and may aid helping professionals in developing culturally sensitive screening tools to identify and assist a population who might not otherwise seek help.

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.

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.

Download or read book The Influence of Popular Romanticized Media on Adolescent College Students Perceptions of Dating Relationships and Dating Violence written by Brittney Timmons and published by . 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 College Students Perceptions of Adolescent Dating Violence written by Kimberly Ann Larsen and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to examine college students' perceptions toward adolescent dating violence. The objective is to determine whether there were any statistically significant differences in knowledge and experience among criminology and criminal justice majors and non-criminology and criminal justice majors. Surveys were administered to 100 college students to measure knowledge and experience of adolescent dating violence. Survey responses of students who identified themselves as criminology and criminal justice majors were compared to responses of those students who did not consider themselves criminology and criminal justice majors. While there were some statistically significant differences between the two groups with regards to both knowledge and experience, there were not as many differences as the author hypothesized. The findings of this study demonstrate shortcomings in both policy and education in both adolescent dating violence prevention and education.

Download or read book Pre teen Students Perceptions of Dating and Teen Dating Violence written by Jennifer Lea Benford and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teen dating violence is prevalent, and as youth continue to access technology more frequently and at an earlier age, adolescents become increasingly vulnerable to consequences associated with dating violence. The purpose of this study is to examine pre-teen students' perceptions of teen dating violence and digital violence, and their experiences of pressures to date. Using a qualitative study design and constant comparative thematic analysis, the study revealed two overarching constructs as well as 13 themes. First, pre-teen students exhibited ambivalence towards dating. Second, pre-teen students in this sample perceived dating as taboo. The 13 themes identified in the study were: (a) too young to date, (b) dating is frowned upon, (c) some are ok with it and some are not, (d) dating but not really dating, (e) secrets, (f) definitions of dating, (g) guidelines for dating, (h) good dating behaviors, (i) reasons to date, (j) pressures within dating, (k) trust and mistrust, (l) dating conflict, and (m) bystander helper. Findings from this study suggest there may be a pre-dating stage in the developmental trajectory, which by definition precedes dating, but captures some attitudes and behaviors that are linked to ideas of dating. Implications and recommendations for policy, intervention, and further research are discussed.
