Abstract

Background/Objective: Dating violence is a serious social and public health problem worldwide. The literature has pointed out that future research should be focused to examining differences between victimised and non-victimised in teen dating relationships. Thus, a field study was designed to estimate the victimization prevalence in dating relationships and the effects of victimization in sexist beliefs and conflict resolution strategies. Method: A sample of 467 youngsters (56.1% females and 43.9% males), aged between 14 and 18 years (M = 15.41, SD = 1.06) responded to measures of experience of victimization (objective and subjective), strategies for conflict resolution, and sexism beliefs. Results: A significant prevalence of victimization, 32.8%, in dating relationships was observed, meanwhile 77.1% of youngsters who experienced dating violence did not perceive victimization The results also exhibited significantly higher scores in benevolent sexism and aggressive tactics for conflict resolution in persons victimized in dating violence. Conclusions: The extremely high prevalence of victimization requires for a strong policy to eradicate or minimize it. The observed deficits of victimized youngsters in cognitive competences in conflict resolution skills and in cognitive distortions empathise that both should be contents of prevention and intervention programmes.
