“…Therefore, even though these behaviors may not be viewed as violent when asked directly, this discrepancy finding supports the need for education that involves the definition of violent and unhealthy behaviors in romantic relationships. Indeed, the behaviors categorized as psychological aggression have been linked to negative outcomes (e.g., Holt & Espelage, 2005;Zayas & Shoda, 2007) and are often precursors to physical violence (e.g., Calvete, Corral, & Estevez, 2008;Josephson & Proulx, 2008). Therefore, the aforementioned behaviors that constitute psychological aggression should be addressed in relationship education programs along with physically violent behaviors.…”

This study begins to fill the methodological gap in the dating violence literature by using hierarchical linear modeling to: (a) examine whether partners agree on reports of their experiences with violence in their relationship; and (b) identify factors that may explain differences in these reports. Data from the Relationship Dimensions Survey, a survey given to 214 late adolescent dating couples were utilized. Results indicated that there was significant variation in the report of dating violence perpetration and in the gender effect across couples, but not within couples. These differences were explained by individual- and relationship-related characteristics, including physical abuse from a parent during childhood, and for males' perpetration only, whether they drank alcohol. Implications for violence prevention are discussed.

“…Initial findings reveal that traditional sex-role beliefs, increased feelings of romantic jealousy, and higher levels of interpersonal and verbal aggression in the past were found to predict expressed violence among females (Bookwala et al, 1992). Positive attitudes toward male and female perpetrated dating violence have also been linked with greater acceptance of the use of violence outside of dating relationships (Josephson & Prouix, 2008). Due to this connection between accepting attitudes toward dating violence and the actual perpetration of violence, dating violence prevention programs have been developed for college students that target dating violence attitudes as a way to reduce actual perpetration (Schwartz, Griffin, Russell, & Frontaura-Duck, 2006).…”

This study investigates attitudes toward psychological and physical dating violence among college students in mainland China (n = 245). The results of this study indicate that among our sample of college students in mainland China, men and women were relatively similar in their attitudes toward male perpetrated and female perpetrated physical dating violence and female perpetrated psychological dating violence. As has been found in previous research, men and women in our sample were more accepting of female perpetrated physical and psychological dating violence than male perpetrated physical and psychological dating violence. Finally, among several variables that predicted dating violence attitudes, shame emerged as a potentially important variable to include in future studies on dating violence in Chinese populations.

“…This area of research has been more developed in terms of dating violence prevention, where attitudes supporting dating violence have been shown to influence involvement in dating violence. [29][30][31] Few studies have addressed attitudes supporting violence and their associations with peer violence. One study found that among youth in grades 7 through 9, aggressive attitudes were significantly associated with peer violence perpetration among youth.…”

Attitudes about Violence and Involvement in Peer Violence among Youth: Findings from a High-Risk Community

2011

Peer violence perpetration and victimization are the most common types of violence among youth. This study determined the associations among violent attitudes toward peers, involvement in peer violence perpetration, and experience with peer violence victimization among boys and girls in a high-risk, urban community. Analyses were based on data from the 2004 Youth Violence Survey, which was administered to over 80% of public school students in grades 7, 9, 11, and 12 (N = 4,131) in a disadvantaged, urban, school district in the USA. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to test the associations between attitudes in support of violence and involvement in violent behaviors. Results show that among youth, attitudes supporting boys hitting boys significantly increased the odds of peer violence perpetration after controlling for potential confounders (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.35; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.07, 1.72). However, stratified analyses for boys and girls show that attitudes supporting boys hitting boys increased the odds of peer violence perpetration for girls only after controlling for potential confounders (AOR, 1.49; 95% CI = 1.05, 2.13). The findings demonstrate that there are important differences between boys and girls in terms of their associations with violent attitudes and involvement in actual violent behaviors. However, additional research is needed to determine how attitude modifications can be incorporated into youth violence prevention programs.
