Abstract

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.
对约会对象的身体攻击的普遍性及其相关因素
本文研究了1736名来自香港和美国的大学生中约会伴侣暴力的流行程度及其相关因素。参与者完成了修订的冲突战术量表和个人和关系概况,以报告身体攻击和伤害的发生率。使用独立t检验比较两个站点之间的差异。根据人口统计变量,采用Logistic回归来预测前一年报告中是否存在人身攻击。结果显示,香港学生报告遭受人身攻击的人数多于美国学生。与施暴者相关的人口学特征、关系和个人因素的结合解释了两个样本前一年身体攻击犯罪发生率的差异。为了进一步研究不同社会背景下的约会暴力,应该考虑与约会暴力相关的文化因素。
