“…Otro hallazgo digno de discusión es que hubo paridad entre los valores de violencia cometida por el grupo femenino y el grupo masculino. Previos estudios informaron sobre la bilateralidad de las agresiones en los noviazgos juveniles (Chan et al, 2008;Malik et al, 1997;Straus & Ramirez, 2007;Taylor & Mumford, 2016) e, incluso, sobre mayores valores en el grupo femenino (Arbach-Lucioni et al, 2015;Elmquist et al, 2016). Si bien en este estudio no se exploraron los subtipos determinados por la unidireccionalidad agresiva -sólo desde el varón a la mujer o sólo desde la mujer al varón-y por la bidireccionalidad (Straus & Gozjolko, 2014), los hallazgos están en línea con el planteo de la predominante reciprocidad de la violencia en las parejas de los jóvenes.…”

En esta investigación se dimensiona la violencia en parejas de estudiantes universitarios y se explora su relación con los celos y otros correlatos. Con un diseño de corte transversal se encuestaron 186 estudiantes de Universidad de Cuenca. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el Conflict in Adolescents Dating Relationships Inventory, la Multidimensional Jealousy Scale e items ad hoc sobre fidelidad, consumo de sustancias y estrés durante la relación de pareja. Los puntajes de violencia fueron bajos en general, pero preocupantes en el 5.4% de los encuestados. El 60.2% informó haber cometido por lo menos un acto violento físico durante la relación de pareja index. Los subtipos de violencia medidos tuvieron distribución similar entre varones y mujeres. La correlación entre violencia total cometida y sufrida fue .77 (p< .001). Se verificó asociación significativa entre la pertenencia al grupo de mayor violencia y los celos comportamentales y el estrés padecido durante la pareja.

“…Similarly, a review of 14 studies that examined dating violence victimization among female students found that the rate ranged from 11.7% to 39% (Williams, Ghandour, & Kub, 2008). Many scholars have pointed out that there is a long-lasting effect of psychological stress on victims well into their adulthood (Elmquist et al, 2016; Shorey, Brasfield, Febres, & Stuart, 2011).…”

Scholars have highlighted that incidents of dating violence are quite frequent among college students, and subsequent consequence can be devastating. A key factor that has been singled out in most studies on dating violence concerns an individual’s attitudes toward dating violence. It is assumed that there is a link between one’s attitudes and associated behaviors. The purpose of this study is to investigate correlates of attitudes toward dating violence among police cadets in a 4-year university in China. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first time that police cadets were the subjects of research on this important topic. Besides several commonly adopted variables in the analysis in the United States, we incorporated three variables that were unique to this study (the assistance-oriented police strategy, internship experience, and knowing anti-domestic violence law). The findings revealed that preference of gender-role, perceptions of the nature of dating, and police strategies have significant effect on cadets’ sentiment of dating violence. We also discussed the limitations of this study and highlight several areas that future research needs to focus on.

“…Research has shown that physically aggressive couples are more likely than nonviolent couples to respond to conflicts with hostile communication, including blaming, threatening, name-calling, and criticizing (Cornelius et al, 2010; Feldman & Ridley, 2000; Robertson & Murachver, 2007) and that communication difficulties motivate perpetration of IPV (Langhinrichsen-Rohling et al, 2012). A recent study that compared men and women’s motivations, or reasons, for perpetrating physical dating violence among college students, found that communication difficulties and self-defense were among the most frequently endorsed motive categories for both male- and female-perpetrated dating violence (Elmquist et al, 2016).…”

The present study, based on data from the International Dating Violence Study obtained in 2004 ( N = 465) and on data obtained in 2015 ( N = 392), estimated the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and perpetration among Israeli college students. The main purpose of the study was to investigate whether communication problems (i.e., avoidant communication and disrespectful communication) intensify the effects of relationship dynamics (dominance, partner's controlling behavior, and jealousy) on physical IPV. A series of χ analyses, independent t tests, and logistic regressions was conducted separately for each sample. Results revealed that in 2015, approximately 20% of the participants reported being a victim of at least one act of physical violence and more than 10% of the participants reported severely attacking a partner. Although there was a significant decline in the prevalence of the severe type of sexual violence victimization, most of the differences between the samples were not significant. The findings further showed that regardless of gender or age, dominance significantly increased the odds of physical violence perpetration, and partner's controlling behavior significantly increased the odds of physical violence victimization. Finally, the interaction effects that were found suggest that when relationships are characterized by an imbalance of power, communication problems may increase the risk of physical violence. The current study provides initial support for the idea that communication difficulties may contribute to conflict escalation and exacerbate the effects of relationship risk factors on physical IPV.
