| dc.description.abstract | The aim of the present article is to present and discuss the results of a Portuguese national study with 4696 university students, 3846 (81.9%) self-identified as females, 843 (17.8%) self-identified as males, and 16 (0.3%) non-binary people (M = 22.4 years old; SD = 5.132). With the objective of characterizing the relationship between gender beliefs and dating violence practices, an online questionnaire was administered. Results show that 2524 (53.7%) students had suffered an episode of dating violence and 1599 (34%) had perpetrated one at least once during their life. Female students were more victimized than male students, while male students perpetrated more dating violence than female participants. An association between gender beliefs legitimizing violence and gender was found, with male students endorsing more gender beliefs legitimizing violence than female students. Additionally, those who suffered from and perpetrated dating violence presented higher levels of gender beliefs legitimizing violence than those who did not suffer from or perpetrate it. | eng |
