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.

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.

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 Good Trouble written by Joe Biel and published by Microcosm Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Microcosm Publishing, from its origins as a record label and zine distro in Joe Biel's bedroom closet in Cleveland to a thriving, sustainable publisher of life-changing books. The book comes out to mark Microcosm's 20th anniversary and all the shit and splendor that's gone into making us who we are.In 1996, everything about Joe Biel's life seemed like a mistake. He was 18, he lived in Cleveland, he got drunk every day, and he had mystery health problems and weird social tics. All his friends' lives were as bad or worse. To escape a nihilistic, apocalyptic worldview and to bring reading and documentation into a communal punk scene, he started assembling self-published misfit zines and bringing them in milk crates to underground punk shows. As he applied the economics and values of underground punk rock music to publishing books, his worldview expanded along with his business, and so did the punk community's idea of what was possible. Eventually this became Microcosm Publishing.But all was not rosy. Biel's head for math was stronger than his ability to relate to people, and for everything that added up right, more things broke down. He developed valuable skills and workarounds, but it wasn't until he was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome that it all began to fall into place.Good Trouble is a tale of screwing up, trying again, and always finding a way do it better. It's a book for anyone who has ever failed big and dreamed bigger. It's about developing a toolkit for turning your difficulties into superpowers, building the world that you envision, and inspiring others to do the same. This is the story of how, over 20 years, one person turned a litany of continuing mistakes and seemingly wrong turns into a happy, fulfilled life and a thriving publishing business that defies all odds.With a foreword by Sander Hicks, founder of Soft Skull Press, and an introduction by Joyce Brabner, co-author with Harvey Pekar of Our Cancer Year.

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 College Females Decisions to Stay Or Leave an Abusive Relationship written by Logan R. Collins and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The study tested the investment model as a predictor of college women's likelihood of staying with or leaving a romantic partner. Physical and sexual abuse measures were used to determine the frequency of abuse in dating relationships. Specifically, it was hypothesized that women who have high levels of commitment will be more likely to stay in a relationship with their boyfriend than women with low levels of commitment. Furthermore it was hypothesized that physical and sexual abuse by a partner would be associated with lower commitment, thus women with an abuse history would be more likely to leave the relationship. The results suggest that abuse did not affect commitment. Women who experienced abuse were no different than women who had not experienced abuse in satisfaction, quality of alternatives or subjective norms. Women who were abused had higher levels of investment than women who had never experienced abuse. Commitment was negatively correlated with stay-leave decision. Women who scored high on commitment were more likely to stay in the relationship than women who had low commitment scores."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Download or read book Feeling Hurt in Close Relationships written by Anita L. Vangelisti and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-31 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feeling Hurt in Close Relationships presents a synthesis of cutting-edge research and theory on hurt. Being hurt is an inevitable part of close relationships. What varies from relationship to relationship is not whether partners hurt each other, but how their relationship is affected by hurtful episodes. Given the potential influence of hurt feelings on people's interpersonal relationships, it is not surprising that scholars have begun to study the antecedents, processes, and outcomes associated with hurt. This collection integrates the various issues addressed by researchers, theorists, and practitioners who study the causes of hurt feelings, the interpersonal events associated with hurt, and the ways people respond to hurting and being hurt by others. To capture the breadth and depth of the literature in this area, the work of scholars from a variety of disciplines - including social psychology, communication, sociology, and family studies - is highlighted.
