The occurrence and forms of violence experienced by adolescents in families and dating relationships were investigated.
Abstract
Subjects were 204 juniors and seniors enrolled in a high school in central Michigan. A primary aim of the study was to examine similarities between adolescents' experiences with dating violence and those reported by college students. Findings indicate that high school students encounter a considerable amount of violence in their families. Results also reveal a remarkable similarity between their dating experiences and those of college students, suggesting that there is a pattern to 'relationship violence.' (Publisher abstract)
