Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı üniversite öğrencilerinin flört şiddetine yönelik algıları,
flört şiddetine maruz kalma durumları ve geçmişte şiddete tanık olma durumları
arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 1651 kadın (%64.6)
ve 908 erkek (%35.4) olmak üzere Türkiye’de Orta Karadeniz bölgesinde bulunan
bir üniversitede eğitim gören toplamda 2559 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Öğrencilerin yaşı 17 ile 32 arasında (x=22.06 ss=3.24) değişmektedir. Araştırmanın verileri
Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Flört Şiddetine Yönelik Tutum Anketi aracılığıyla toplanmıştır.
Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistik ve Ki-kare bağımsız analizi kullanılmıştır.
Araştırmanın sonucunda üniversite öğrencilerinin flört şiddeti ile ilgili
deneyimlerinin yüksek bir oranda olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Diğer yandan kadın
katılımcıların flört şiddetine yönelik daha yüksek bir farkındalığa sahip oldukları
ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca kadın katılımcıların özellikle cinsel ilişkiye zorlanma ve
cinsel bir obje olarak davranılması ifadelerini yüksek oranda flört şiddeti olarak
değerlendirmişlerdir. Çalışmanın dikkat çeken bir diğer sonucu da çocukluk dönemlerinde
şiddete maruz kalan ya da tanıklık eden katılımcıların flört şiddetiyle
ilgili daha fazla deneyime sahip oldukları sonucudur. Bu sonuç, bireylerin çocukluk
döneminde kötü muamele maruz kalmaları veya kötü yaşam olaylarına şahit
olmaları ileriki yaşamlarındaki romantik ilişkileri üzerinde olumsuz bir etkisi bulunduğunu
ortaya koymaktadır.

University Students' Perceptions of Dating Violence and The Relationship Between the Victims of Dating Violence and Violence Experiences in Childhood

Abstract

This study aims at examining the relationship between university students' perceptions of dating violence, their exposure to dating violence and their early experiences and witnessing violence. The study group of the research consists of 2559 university students, 1651 of whom are female (64.6%) and 908 of whom are male (35.4%) at a university located in the Central Black Sea Region of Turkey. The ages of the students range from 17 to 32 (mean = 22.06, Sd =3.24). The data of the research were collected with Personal Information Form and Attitudes Towards Dating Violence Questionnaire (ATDVQ). While analyzing the data, descriptive statistics and chi-square independence analysis were used. In this study, it was revealed that university students' experiences of dating violence are generally at a high level. On the other hand, it was revealed that female participants have a higher awareness of dating violence. In addition, female participants evaluated the expressions of being forced into sexual intercourse and being treated as a sexual object as dating violence at a higher rate. Another striking result of the study is that university students who were exposed to and witnessed violence in their childhood have more experiences of dating violence. This result reveals that being exposed to ill-treatment or witnessing bad life events in childhood has a negative effect on their romantic relationships in their future lives.
