“…Relationship length is a consistent and powerful predictor of physical assault. It has been found that the length of a relationship, mediated by the level of emotional commitment, was a crucial factor in triggering courtship violence [44,45].…”

This paper examines the prevalence and correlates of dating partner violence in a cohort of 1,736 university students from Hong Kong and the United States. The participants completed the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale and the Personal and Relationships Profile to report on the rates of occurrence of physical assault and injury. The differences between the two sites were compared using independent t-tests. Logistic regression was employed to predict the presence or absence of physical assault in the previous year of reporting based on the demographic variables. Results showed that more Hong Kong students reported physical assault than did US students. A combination of the perpetrator-related demographic characteristics, and relationship and personal factors accounted for the differences in the preceding-year prevalence of physical assault perpetration in the two samples. To further investigate dating violence in diverse social settings, cultural factors correlated to dating violence should be taken into consideration.

“…For example, Lane and Gwartney-Gibbs (1985) include "acquaintances, friends, partners, and dates• (p. 57) in their operational definition of participants in courtship violence while Laner and Thompson (1982) and O'Keefe, et al (1986) include verbal abuse as well as physical abuse in their definitions. Differences are also -5 -apparent in the samples chosen for research.…”

“…Various theoretical frameworks have been used to explain courtship violence. Laner and Thompson (1982) present the most in-depth approach by integrating concepts of conflict and exchange theories in conjunction with cultural influences such as tolerance for and acceptance of violent behavior. This framework is implicit in much of the literature.…”

“…Since then researchers using varying definitions of courtship violence have estimated that between 12% and 65% of dating couples engage in some form of violent behavior (Bernard & Bernard, 1983;BogalAllbritten & Allbritten, 1985;Lane & Gwartney-Gibbs, 1985;Laner & Thompson, 1982;Matthews, 1981;O'Keefe, Brockopp, & Chew, 1986;Sigelman et al, 1984). Though researchers such as Sigelman et al (1984) indicate that 53% of males and 52% of females acknowledge involvement in abusive acts during a dating relationship; the majority of studies found that approximately one-fourth of young people in dating relationships experience violent episodes (Bernard & Bernard, 1983;Cate et al, 1982;Laner & Thompson, 1982).…”

“…Studies.indicate that a substantial number of high school and college students experience various forms and levels of violence in their courtship experiences (Cate, Henton, Koval, Christopher, & Lloyd, 1982;Laner & Thompson, 1982;Makepeace, 1981). Of those who are participants in dating violence, research indicates that between 39% and 54% maintain ongoing relationships despite experienced abuse (Bogal-Allbritten & Allbritten, 1985;Matthews, 1984;Sigelman, Berry, & Wiles, 1984).…”

The relationship between family of origin aggression and aggression across numerous relationship types was examined among a sample of 197 college‐aged males. Participants completed a self‐report questionnaire assessing the frequency and severity of family aggression (aggression between parents, parental aggression directed toward participants), as well as the frequency and severity of participants' aggression across a number of relationship types (dating, friends, strangers, people in bars, co‐workers, bosses, police officers). The results of the present study indicate that a substantial proportion of college‐aged males report a history of aggressive behavior, both in dating/spousal relationship and other‐relationship types. Analyses revealed that observing parental aggression and receiving aggression from parents was related to aggression in dating relationships. However, only received aggression from parents was related to more general aggressiveness in other non–dating/spousal relationship types. The pattern of findings also suggest that it is important to assess the aggressive behavior of both parents to get a better understanding of the link between family aggression and later expressed aggression.
