This book was released on 2017 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power and the abuse of such power is an important mechanism through which intimate partner violence (IPV) occurs and a major tenant of many theories that purport to explain IPV. While some research has examined the links between aspects of relational power and IPV, the examination of power processes has been limited to mostly self-report measures. The current study assesses power processes through observational interactions of direct communication between (n = 150) college student dating partners. In general, the hypotheses that observed power processes would be related to IPV over time were only partially supported, suggesting that although relationships between power processes and psychological and physical aggression have been found in cross-sectional studies, these relationships may not be as robust over time. Additionally, when relationships between power processes and psychological and physical aggression perpetration and victimization did emerge, these relationships were more often related to women's perpetration and victimization than they were to men's aggression. Finally, across all models of psychological and physical aggression perpetration and victimization, self-reported aggression perpetration and victimization at baseline and three-month follow up predicted additional aggression perpetration and victimization over time for both men and women. Implications for future research and treatment are discussed.

Download or read book How Exposure to Parental Intimate Partner Violence Affects College Students Dating Violence written by Chu Chian Chong and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of childhood exposure to parental intimate partner violence (EPIPV) on dating violence (DV) were examined through two layers of mediations. Based on attachment theory, individuals who are exposed to parental intimate partner violence are less likely to experience secure parent-child attachment, which in turn transfers to insecure adult attachment that is prone to perceive significant others as less trustworthy and less reliable as well as higher likelihood of over-reacting and/or staying in an unhealthy relationship. In the second layer of mediation, insecure adult attachment would lead to biased SIP which in turn, would result in an increase of DV. A total of 327 university students participated in the study by voluntarily completing the research questionnaires. Among them, 253 reported having experienced mild to severe DV and were included in the final data set. The data analyses procedures included examinations of the measurement models and structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses. Findings from the final models best supported by the data indicated that EPIPV predicted both dating violence perpetration and victimization and that EPIPV predicted adult attachment anxiety and avoidance, both of which are consistent with existing literature. However, findings revealed that EPIPV did not predict SIP and SIP was not predictive of DV perpetration. In addition, neither adult attachment anxiety nor attachment avoidance was predictive of DV perpetration and victimization. For DV victimization SEM model, adult attachment anxiety predicted SIP, however, SIP did not predict DV victimization. Findings are discussed based on DV literature and attachment theory. Limitations, clinical implications, and future research directions are also outlined.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This honors thesis attempts to find the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IVP) at the Pennsylvania State University - University Park Campus. It primarily tests the General Strain Theory to evaluate if IVP can have a significant effect on mental health which in turn would affect an individual's college GPA. To answer this question, a survey using a modified version of the Conflict Tactic Scale (Strauss 2004), a scale often used by researchers to measure dating and relationship violence, was distributed anonymously in various classes on campus. Ultimately, the study obtained 70 participants but because not all participants answered all of the questions, the results of 56 participants were evaluated. Results showed that there is no impact of IPV on college GPA; however, the only thing we found to be consistent with the general strain theory is that mental health is a significant predictor of college GPA, however, based on this study we cannot accurately and distinctly trace mental health with IPV. Further analysis needs to be in place in order to determine the relationship between IPV and mental health and then the relationship to GPA.

Download or read book Moral Disengagement Empathy and Bidirectional Intimate Partner Violence in Young Adulthood written by Elissa Rosebraugh and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant issue in the United States, with emerging research emphasizing its bidirectional nature. Longitudinal studies demonstrate that bidirectional intimate partner violence (BIPV) tends to persist or escalate in severity over time, necessitating an understanding of the underlying factors contributing to this phenomenon. Recent research suggests that moral disengagement (MD) and empathy may offer useful insights into the cognitive mechanisms driving BIPV. The main objective of my dissertation is to gain a deeper understanding of the connection between BIPV, empathy, and MD among college students. This study aimed to explore the relationship between these constructs and uncover potential changes over time. Data was collected through a two-wave online survey with a six-month time lag with a sample of 368 undergraduate students at Time 1 and 128 participants at Time 2. Results indicated initial construct validity for the IPV-specific MD measure based on significant convergent and divergent associations. Additionally, BIPV and MD were found to be cross-sectionally related. However, evidence was not found for BIPV at Time 1 leading to increased MD at Time 2. Neither affective nor cognitive empathy moderated the relationship between BIPV and MD, although cognitive empathy was found to be cross-sectionally related to BIPV at Time 1. This study contributes to the growing body of research on MD and IPV by providing initial evidence of the relationship between MD, cognitive empathy, and BIPV. Addressing limitations within this study such as sample homogeneity and recruitment and retention obstacles, future studies should continue to validate the novel MD measure and examine the prospective relationships between BIPV, MD, and empathy. By advancing our understanding of these complex relationships, effective strategies in preventing and intervening in BIPV can be developed, ultimately reducing its prevalence and impact.

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.

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.

Her research reveals young women’s understandings of what it means to have a healthy relationship, and considers the influence of gendered social norms within both healthy and abusive relationships. While contributing to the debate on how young women negotiate the conflicts inherent in contemporary constructions of gender, the book then suggests a pathway towards gender equality.

Download or read book Relationship Dynamics and Perpetration of Intimate Partner Violence Among Female Chinese College Students written by Jingshuai Du and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In China, most violence studies focus on male intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration and female victimization, and studies on dating violence and female IPV perpetration are less common. Although female IPV perpetration and gender symmetry in IPV in China has surfaced with very recent research, there have been limited studies examining the factors related to female perpetration in dating relationships in China. In the current research, we aim to examine how relationship factors, including anger management, communication problems, relationship conflict, and relationship distress are linked with female physical and psychological IPV perpetration. We included 857 female college students in three regions in China from the International Dating Violence database. A single path analysis model was performed to answer three questions: 1) Is the participants' level of anger management skills associated with lower levels of physical and psychological IPV perpetration; 2) Is the participants' level of communication problems, relationship conflict, and relationship distress associated with higher levels of physical and psychological IPV perpetration and; 3) Does the participants' level of anger management skills moderate the negative effects of relationship conflict and distress in predicting their self-reported level of IPV perpetration. We found that Chinese college women's anger management skills and communication problems were both significantly associated with physical and psychological abuse on both minor and severe levels, relationship conflict was significantly associated with minor physical, minor psychological and severe psychological abuse, and anger management skills moderated the negative effects of relationship conflict on female IPV perpetration. Our findings suggest that it may be important to explore the role of college women's anger management skills, communication problems and conflict resolution skills in their dating relationships, as well as to develop female-based intervention programs to increase Chinese college women's anger management, communication skills and conflict resolution skills, in order to reduce their levels of IPV perpetration.

Download or read book Violence Against Children in the Family and the Community written by Penelope K. Trickett and published by Amer Psychological Assn. This book was released on 1998 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children in the United States experience violence in many forms. They are the victims of physical and sexual abuse within their families, they witness battering of and by their parents, and they experience or witness violence in their schools and communities. Poor children are especially at risk for experiencing these forms of violence. Recently, considerable research has accumulated documenting the psychological impact of such violence on children's development. This book brings together in one volume the latest findings from researchers on violence, with the aim of integrating findings and pointing out gaps in our knowledge that future research will need to address. The book also describes promising interventions that have helped children already damaged by violence and suggests strategies for preventing violence before it occurs. The book is divided into five sections that cover developmental consequences, causes, interventions, prevention, and future research and public policy issues. This volume will be a resource for developmental psychologists, violence researchers, social workers, and policy makers.

Download or read book Compromising Effects of Intimate Partner Violence on College Women s Health Promoting Behaviors written by Julia Annika Conrath and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the negative effects of intimate partner violence on college women's health promoting behaviors such as physical exercise. Data were collected from 375 college women and 122 male students at a large Midwestern university. Examination of demographic variables and other background factors in both the female and male sample suggested that instances of intimate partner violence frequently occurred in this college student population. Tests of structural equation models with data from the female sample revealed that women's sense of agency and perceived levels of stress fully mediated the relationship between intimate partner violence and women's engagement in physical exercise. Women's gender role attitudes further predicted participation in physical exercise; however, gender role attitudes were not significantly related to other variables in the model. Findings are indicative of the widespread effects of intimate partner violence on positive behaviors as well as negative health behaviors that have been the focus of previous research. The conceptual, empirical, and clinical needs to address and facilitate women's engagement in health promoting behaviors are discussed. High rates of intimate partner violence among college students call for outreach and preventive measures on college campuses. Systemic issues of male to female intimate partner violence are addressed as well as the necessity of culturally sensitive research in this area of investigation.

Download or read book The Supporting Healthy Marriage Evaluation written by JoAnn Hsueh and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Supporting Healthy Marriage (SHM) evaluation was launched in 2003 to test the effectiveness of a skills-based relationship education program designed to help low-income married couples strengthen their relationships and, in turn, to support more stable and more nurturing home environments and more positive outcomes for parents and their children. The evaluation is led by MDRC, in collaboration with Abt Associates and other partners, and is sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services. The SHM program is a voluntary, yearlong, relationship and marriage education program for lowincome, married couples who have children or are expecting a child. The program provides group workshops based on structured curricula; supplemental activities to build on workshop themes; and family support services to address participation barriers, connect families with other services, and reinforce curricular themes. The study's rigorous random assignment design compares outcomes for families who are offered SHM's services with outcomes for a similar group of families who are not offered SHM's services but can access other services. This report presents estimated impacts on the program's targeted outcomes about one year after couples entered the study.
