“…Emotional punishment and humiliation are both forms of Psychological Violence (PV) and were associated with higher suicide risk in females than males. Our findings are in tandem with earlier studies which portray a strong connection between PV and suicidality in female victims [14][15][16][17][18].…”

Context: Dating violence is prevalent in romantic relationships between young adults, and may be linked with suicidal ideation and behavior in victims. However, the pattern of dating violence victimization, suicidality, and the relationship between dating violence victimization and suicidality could vary depending on gender. Aims: To determine gender differences in the relationship between dating violence victimization and suicidality in young adults. Settings and Design: Cross-sectional descriptive study of 118 students (66 Females, 52 Males) between the ages of 18-32 years at a College of Medicine in Lagos, Nigeria. Methods and Material: Study instruments used include; the Dating Violence Questionnaire (DVQ), Suicide Behavior Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R), and a Socio-Demographic Questionnaire. Participants were chosen through the convenience sampling method. Statistical Analysis: The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Version-23 (SPSS version-23) was used to analyze the data. Results: Females who had experienced victimization from their romantic partners in the form of emotional punishment (P=0.02), humiliation (P=0.01), sexual abuse (P=0.03), and gender-based abuse (P=0.01), had significantly higher levels of suicidality compared to males. Conclusion: Gender has a major influence on the expression of suicidality in young adult victims of dating violence.

Dating has become a trend in today's youth. Psychological conditions are still unstable and are one of the triggers for violence among adolescents, and in general, female adolescents become victims. However, the female adolescents maintained the relationship. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct a phenomenological study of dating violence among female adolescents. This research is included in the type of qualitative research. Data were obtained from five key informants and five triangular informants who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data was collected using 14 questions items submitted using the In-depth Interview technique. The interview results were transcribed using computer aided qualitative data analysis software. Based on the results of the interviews, dating is a form of self-actualization to get love and to exist among adolescents. They hope the current partner can become a life partner when they have a family. This is their reason for tolerating physical, psychological, or sexual violence perpetrated by their partner. So, female adolescents are aware that they experience violence. However, they could not avoid it because they hoped their current partner would become a life partner These results confirm the urgency for adolesence dating violence (ADV) program implementation.

Dating violence (DV) is a social problem that affects adolescents worldwide. Prevalence figures show that this type of violence is starting at an increasingly younger age, which is why it is important to study attitudes toward DV, as they are an important risk factor. Victim-blaming attitudes justify this type of violence by excusing perpetrators and blaming victims. The present study aimed to validate an instrument developed to assess victim-blaming attitudes in DV cases among the adolescent population: The Adolescent Dating Violence Victim-Blaming Attitudes Scale (ADV-VBA). Two samples of high school students were recruited using a two-stage stratified sampling by conglomerates, one consisting of 758 adolescents (48% females) and the other of 160 (50% females), whose ages ranged from 12 to 18 years. We found that this instrument presented good reliability and validity evidence, showing good internal consistency, a clear one-factor latent structure, and a close relation to other related constructs, such as ambivalent sexism and perpetration and victimization of DV. We also found that items did not present differential item functioning across gender and the instrument was especially informative for assessing moderate to high levels of victim-blaming attitudes. A short five-item version is also presented for use when time and space constraints exist. Our results indicate that the ADV-VBA scale is a psychometrically sound measure to assess victim-blaming attitudes in cases of adolescent DV.
