“…No statistically significant differences in committing physical violence regarding gender were obtained. The results are consistent with numerous studies conducted so far (32)(33)(51)(52). Research studies emphasize that violence by women is rarely followed by physical injury and mostly includes some mild forms of physical violence.…”

“…So far, the studies conducted suggest that there are no gender differences in the rates of exposure to psychological and physical violence (32). However, studies note higher rates of female perpetration in psychological and physical violence, compared to men (32). With respect to severe types of physical violence among gender, the obtained results are not consistent.…”

However, studies note higher rates of female perpetration in psychological and physical violence, compared to men (32).…”

Abstract:The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of dating violence and jealousy among university students. The role of situational and background factors of risk in explaining violent behaviour was examined. The study included 33 men and 89 women participants, from 20 to 24 years of age, from the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Mostar. For the assessment of dating violence, The Revised Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS2) Partner-to-Partner was used. Males and females estimated the intensity of their jealousy in hypothetical situations presenting scenarios of emotional and sexual infidelity. The results of the analyses of the total sample showed that boys and girls differ significantly with respect to the frequency of committing and exposure to violent behaviour in a dating relationship. Men were more often the perpetrators of sexual abuse and threatening behaviour in relation to women. At the same time they were more often exposed to various forms of examined abuse in comparison to women. No differences in the intensity of jealousy between men and women were found. However, a regression analysis showed that jealousy, as a contextual variable, and earlier violent behaviour, as well as a situational variable, is a significant predictor of the exposure and perpetration of dating violence. The results of this study should be taken into account in the development and implementation of programmes for the prevention of violent behaviour in youth adults dating relationships.

“…Such reports do not encompass motivations or circumstances surrounding violent acts or distinguish between acts of offense or defense, which may account for the higher rates of PDV reported by girls than by boys. 10 The scope of dating violence was also limited to physical acts and did not include sexual violence or coercion. Furthermore, although modification of selfreport is a possibility, it is unlikely to be a confounding factor of the intervention.…”

To determine whether an interactive curriculum that integrates dating violence prevention with lessons on healthy relationships, sexual health, and substance use reduces physical dating violence (PDV).Design: Cluster randomized trial with 2.5-year followup; prespecified subgroup analyses by sex.Setting: Grade 9 health classes.Participants: A total of 1722 students aged 14-15 from 20 public schools (52.8% girls).Intervention: A 21-lesson curriculum delivered during 28 hours by teachers with additional training in the dynamics of dating violence and healthy relationships. Dating violence prevention was integrated with core lessons about healthy relationships, sexual health, and substance use prevention using interactive exercises. Relationship skills to promote safer decision making with peers and dating partners were emphasized. Control schools targeted similar objectives without training or materials. Main Outcome Measures:The primary outcome at 2.5 years was self-reported PDV during the previous year. Secondary outcomes were physical peer violence, sub-stance use, and condom use. Analysis was by intentionto-treat. Results:The PDV was greater in control vs intervention students (9.8% vs 7.4%; adjusted odds ratio, 2.42; 95% confidence interval, 1.00-6.02; P = .05). A significant group ϫ sex interaction effect indicated that the intervention effect was greater in boys (PDV: 7.1% in controls vs 2.7% in intervention students) than in girls (12.1% vs 11.9%). Main effects for secondary outcomes were not statistically significant; however, sex ϫ group analyses showed a significant difference in condom use in sexually active boys who received the intervention (114 of 168; 67.9%) vs controls (65 of 111 [58.6%]) (PϽ.01). The cost of training and materials averaged CA$16 per student. Conclusion:The teaching of youths about healthy relationships as part of their required health curriculum reduced PDV and increased condom use 2.5 years later at a low per-student cost.

“…Dating violence (DV) is highly prevalent among adolescents and emerging adults, with estimates of reported perpetrated DV ranging between 14% and 82% for psychological violence, 11% and 41% for physical violence, and 3% and 10% for sexual violence (Foshee & Matthew, 2007). The scope of the problem as well as the adverse consequences it can incur on adolescents' physical and mental well-being, have made DV a major public health concern.…”

This study uses a combination of observational methods and dyadic data analysis to understand how boyfriends' and girlfriends' perpetration of dating violence may shape their own and their partners' problem-solving communication behaviors. A sample of 39 young heterosexual couples aged between 15 and 20 years (mean age 17.8 years) completed a set of questionnaires and were observed during a 45 minute dyadic interaction, which was coded using the Interactional Dimension Coding System (IDCS). Results suggest that, neither boyfriends nor girlfriends own perpetration of dating violence was related to their display of positive and negative communication behaviors. However, estimates revealed significant partner effects, suggesting that negative communication behaviors displayed by girls and boys and positive communication behavior displayed by girls were associated to their partner's dating violence but not to their own. Such results confirm the need to shift our focus from an individual perspective to examining dyadic influences and processes involved in the couple system and the bi-directionality of violent relationships. Keywords dyadic interaction patterns; adolescence; dating violenceDating violence (DV) is highly prevalent among adolescents and emerging adults, with estimates of reported perpetrated DV ranging between 14% and 82% for psychological violence, 11% and 41% for physical violence, and 3% and 10% for sexual violence (Foshee & Matthew, 2007). The scope of the problem as well as the adverse consequences it can incur on adolescents' physical and mental well-being, have made DV a major public health concern. There has been accumulating evidence that a large proportion of violence in adolescents dating relationships is bidirectional (perpetrated by both partners). For example, a recent review of the literature showed that, on average, 57.5% of intimate partner violence reported across samples (population, community, school and clinical samples) could be categorized as bidirectional (Langhinrichsen-Rohling, Selwyn, & Rohling, 2012). According CIHR Author Manuscript CIHR Author Manuscript CIHR Author Manuscriptto the results of a meta-analytic review by Stith, Smith, Penn, Ward, and Tritt (2004), maleto-female physical violence victimization is a strong predictor of the victim using violence toward her partner. Further, the results from a study on the co-occurrence of partner and parent physical violence found that one partner's aggression against the other increased the risk of female-to-male aggression by five times and of male-to-female aggression by 10 times (Slep & O'Leary, 2005). However, authors point out that the presence of bidirectional violence does not mean that all aspects of female and male violence are symmetrical as many gender differences can still be evident. For example, girls aged 12 to 17 have been found to be more likely to experience physically injurious or fear-inducing incidents of dating violence (Hamby & Turner, 2013).In order to take better account of bi-directionality, i...
