“…Examples of transgressions that occur within romantic relationships of college students include infidelity (Sheppard, Nelson, & Andreoli-Mathie, 1995), courtship violence (Roark, 1987), date rape (Koss, Dinero, & Seibel, 1988), psychological abuse (Raymond & Bruschi, 1989), and unwanted relationship dissolution (Hill, Rubin, & Peplau, 1976).

This study evaluated the effects of two versions of a six-week group forgiveness intervention for college women who had been wronged in a romantic relationship. Participants (N = 58) were randomly assigned to a secular, religiously integrated, or no-intervention comparison condition. Participants completed a variety of forgiveness and mental health measures at one-week pretest, one-week posttest, and six-week follow-up. Participants in both intervention conditions improved significantly more than did those in the comparison condition on two measures of forgiveness and a measure of existential well-being. Program effects were maintained at six-week follow-up. Contrary to hypotheses, there were no differential treatment effects when comparing participants in the secular and the religiously integrated conditions. Participants generally rated the programs favorably. Forgiveness strategies utilized by participants also were examined.

The aim of this study was to examine the reasons for students' violence at Jordanian Universities from the viewpoint of the Hashemite University students. The sample consisted of 521 male and female students, chosen randomly. To collect data, the researcher designed a three-domain questionnaire. The findings of the study revealed that the most important reasons for violence were the reasons related to students (weak commitment to Islamic values, weak resort to psychological and educational counseling, forming student groups on the basis of kinship and areas, and student frustration caused by low grades), then the reasons related to society (defending the honor of family or tribe, wrong socialization, tribal support for students who resort to violence, prevalence of the culture of tribal solidarity, the great importance given to the size of the family or tribe, and pressure of some officials and influential people to reduce punishments imposed on students who resort to violence), and finally the reasons related to universities (policy of exceptions in university admissions, lack of concentration on skills of critical thinking and problem solving, weak culture of dialogue, and lack of concentration on the values of tolerance and forgiveness). Also, the results showed that there were no differences in the students' perception of the reasons for of university violence due to their sex, college, academic year and grade point average.

“…Female and male students may bring concerns that have their genesis in the environment to college and university counseling centers (e.g.. problems due to gender discrimination and unhealthy gender role socialization; Good & Mintz, 1990;Good et al, 1996;Marshall, 1993;Roark, 1987;Stone & Archer, 1990). Thus counselors need to understand the impact of gender-related factors on assessment.…”

“…Damaging male gender role socialization has been implicated in such examples of male-perpetrated violence against women as rape, sexual assault, sexual abuse, sexual harassment, and relationship violence (Marshall, 1993;O'Neil. 1990;Roark, 1987). Detrimental female gender role socialization may result in depression and eating disorders for women (Stone & Archer, 1990).…”
