Dating Violence: A Review

Abstract

Dating violence, which is considered as a type of interpersonal violence, is defined as the use of physical, verbal or emotional violence to each other in the relationship and imposing social restrictions on their behavior. The aim of this article is to determine the risk factors that increase the severity of dating violence, which is a common problem nowadays, to investigate its effects and the effectiveness of the protection programs. For this purpose, Google Scholar, PsycArticles and PsycInfo databases were searched. Research shows that dating violence is affected by many different risk factors such as alcohol use, past domestic violence and peer interactions. Although dating violence is seen in both sexes, it is seen that women are more victims than men. This may have negative physical, psychological and social effects such as anxiety, depression, suicide risk, substance and alcohol use, and low self-esteem. When the effectiveness of the programs developed to prevent dating violence and protect the victims were examined, significant differences were found between the intervention groups and the control groups.

Flört Şiddeti: Bir Gözden Geçirme

Öz

Kişilerarası şiddet türü olarak ele alınan flört şiddeti, partnerlerin ilişki içerisinde birbirlerine fiziksel, sözel veya duygusal şiddet uygulamaları ve davranışlarına sosyal kısıtlamalar getirmesi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu makalenin amacı, günümüzde yaygın bir sorun haline gelen flört şiddetini arttıran risk faktörlerinin belirlenmesi, etkilerinin araştırılması ve uygulanan koruma programlarının etkiliklerinin incelenmesidir. Bu amaçla, Google Akademik, PsycArticles ve PsycInfo veritabanları taranmıştır. Araştırmalar, flört şiddetinin alkol kullanımı, geçmişte yaşanılan aile içi şiddet, akran etkileşimleri gibi bir çok farklı risk faktöründen etkilendiğini göstermektedir. Flört şiddeti her iki cinste görülmesine karşın, kadınların flört şiddetinden daha fazla mağdur oldukları görülmektedir. Bu durum kaygı, depresyon, intihar riski, madde ve alkol kullanımı, düşük benlik saygısı gibi negatif fiziksel, psikolojik ve sosyal etkilere sahip olabilmektedir. Flört şiddetini önlemek ve mağdurlarını korumak amaçlı geliştirilen programların etkililikleri incelendiğinde, müdahale uygulanan gruplar ile kontrol grupları arasında anlamlı farklar bulunmuştur.
