...study in 2008 that sampled 2,500 college students at two southeastern universities on exposure to violence from family of origin. According to the article, research on dating violence between teenagers suggest that females are more likely to be victimized by their dating partners. (Gover, Kaukinen & Fox, 2008, p.3) The authors think that the two main factors related to college dating violence are the exposure to violence during childhood and other risk factors for violence such as gender differences and social support in dating relationships. For example, the authors talk about how witnessing parental violence during your childhood can influence a violent dating relationship. (Gover, Kaukinen & Fox, 2008, p.5) Clearly, this research provides support to Catherine Kaukinen (2014) study and brings more insight on how social support and witnessing violence during childhood can contribute to dating violence among college students....

...What is Teen Dating Violence? Teen Dating Violence (TDV) is described as the physical, emotional, or sexual abuse that occurs within a relationship while dating. TDV can occur in person, or electronically by a current or former partner (CDC, 2014). Many adolescents and adults are unaware of the prevalence of TDV but a recent national study revealed that nearly 10% of adolescents have reported being hit, slapped, or intentionally physically hurt by someone they had claimed to be dating (CDC, 2014). About 20% of adult women who reported experiencing some form of intimate partner violence (IPV) also reported experiencing TDV between the ages of 11-17 (CDC, 2014). Also, black students experience TDV (14%) at a significantly higher rate than their white peers (8.9%) (Rothman, 2013). TDV is a very important issue to address because as teens mature mentally and emotionally, they are heavily influenced by previous relational experiences. If they do not cultivate positive, healthy relationships, TDV can be a dangerous precursor to experiencing IPV as adults. Victims of TDV are more likely to do poorly in school, binge drink, commit suicide, and engage in physical altercations (CDC, 2014). There are several risk factors involved with TDV. There is an increased risk for toxic relationships for teens who believe that physical violence is a constructive way to express anger in a relationship, use alcohol or drugs, have violent friends, have multiple sex partners, are depressed or anxious...

...Teen Dating Violence PS 315- Instructor Cotchery F 5:00-10:00 Park University Abstract This research paper is being presented to examine if adolescents are most at risk for abusing and assaulting their dating partners because there is a direct or an intermediary association from exposure to dysfunctional behavior at home, at school, or in their community. I am going to write this paper by doing research on the internet and looking through books and journals at my local library. These influences not only affect how youths behave, but also what they believe about acceptable forms of behavior in their relationships. Theories of Personality According to Campbell (2007) dating violence is defined as the perpetration or threat of an act of violence by at least one member of an unmarried couple on the other member within the context of dating courtship. This also includes dating between same sex couples, although most statistics have been gathered from heterosexual couples. Teen dating violence differs from adult domestic violence in that when a teenager is abused, she or he becomes isolated from their peers due to the controlling behavior of the partner. Intimate partner violence among adolescents is associated with an increased risk of substance use, unhealthy weight control behaviors, sexual risk behaviors, suicide and pregnancy. (Dobash, 2000) According to Dutton (1995) teenage victims of dating violence are more likely than their peers who...

...How Teen Mothers Describe dating Violence Abstract This paper will examine Teen Dating Violence (TDV) from the perspective of pregnant teenagers and teenage mothers. TDV is recognized as a major current public health issue threatening youth and is even more prevalence during pregnancy and parenting (Herman, 2013). The task of parenting and the stress that comes with pregnancy are two psychological issues that are beyond the capabilities of the adolescent’s period. Dealing with these stressors often leads to TDV with adolescent parents. Throughout this paper I will discuss the viewpoints of selected teen mothers and pregnant teens, their thoughts on the causes, and their suggestions on how to stop or reduce TDV. The method used to collect the data will also be analyzed, the research limitations will be discussed, and the impacts of the research result on the nursing profession will be elaborated. Teenagers have the most understanding of their age group; therefore, the thoughts and experiences of young mothers will be useful in the development prevention strategies specific to their needs (Herman, 2013) Key words: teen dating violence, pregnant and parenting teens, interpersonal violence TDV can be defined as any negative use of power or control in teenage relationships. Development tasks of the adolescent period, hurdles for all adolescents, are even more complex when teens confront pregnancy and parenting and may predispose them to violent relationships (Herman, 2013)...

...to picking- up men. The rules that Ovid describes in The Art of Love are similar to the rules that most people follow in the “cruising and catching” game because they are effective and produce results, although not all the rules described in Ovid’s book are still used, a great majority of them are and have not changed after so many years. My overall perception for Ovid’s poem would be that of surprise. I would describe it as surprising because the “moves” that were implemented thousands of years ago are still very accurate and being used today. What Ovid’s poem tells me is that the “game” between men and women has not changed even though men and women have. Although most of the rules that Ovid writes about are now common sense in the dating world, such as choosing the best place to meet women just as fishermen know the best places to cast their nets to catch fish, and are followed by everyone. Ovid’s poem must have been written by experiences that he had and by the experiences that yielded the best results. In order for him to write a poem that describes what goes on today, just shows that no matter what year or time, the guidelines to picking up women and men are still the same, although there may be some rules that my need to be tweaked because they just don’t work or are frowned upon, such as the rule he has of forcibly coming onto women, almost raping them although they don’t want it even though deep down inside they truly do. Comparing what Ovid says about...

...there is cause for speculation. In my opinion, Emily’s father thinking no one was good enough for his daughter contributed to Emily’s mental state and downfall. In the eyes of Emily’s father, no one was good enough for his daughter. Potential suitors were rejected because they didn’t meet the father’s standards. So, it should come to no surprise that Emily was thirty and single. I don’t believe it was until after her father’s death that Emily realized she was truly alone. Emily’s father did leave her the house, but that was all she had. Alone in a big house with no husband or family, I doubt Emily was happy. The sadness must have taken a toll on Emily because she went out less. Even though she went out less, in due time Emily started dating Homer Barron, a Yankee, who liked men. Why would a woman court a closeted gay man? Loneliness is the reason; Emily wanted companionship, she wanted to feel loved as every woman does. Emily courting Homer even though he is gay shows she doesn’t have all her marbles. If Emily’s father had let her date, there is a chance she would have been married by the time of his death, and then there would have been no need for Homer. Since Emily wasn’t given the opportunity to date, she had to settle for Homer, a gay day laborer. Emily never had a man to call her own until Homer, so it’s no surprise she didn’t want him to get away. So what does one do when one wishes to be with one's companion forever? Kill him, or at least that’s what Emily did. The...

...One of the most fascinating areas of covert persuasion to learn is the dating game. It's interesting how so many people who are attracted to each other try to hide it. We spend just as much time trying to hide our attraction towards other people as we do trying to make ourselves appear attractive. This is the reason why the persuasion secrets of dating science are vital. Males and females have so much tension between themselves that it doesn't feel safe to expose our feelings. It doesn't feel safe to just walk up to someone and begin a conversation with them. For this reason we want other people to walk up to us. We want other people to dissolve our insecurities by approaching us. The problem is that this is not always the way things work in the art of persuasion. At every...

...I. Dating Industry history The dating industry formed in the 1600s when the first services to help singles found spouses arose. At the time, being unmarried past the age of 21 was shameful causing some to turn towards matrimonial agencies to help them find a mate. The services utilized print ads typically on behalf of men who paid the agency to recruit them a wife. With the invention of the modern newspaper close to 1700 the print ad medium for finding a spouse began to gain popularity. Companies profited from posting a column in exchange for a fee. Continuing into the 1900s, print advertisements continued to be the dominant medium for the dating industry, but starting around the middle of the 20th century came the concept of computer assisted matchmaking. In the mid-1960s, Lewis Altfest and Robert Ross created Project TACT (Technical Automated Compatibility Testing). Participants paid $5 and answered roughly 100 multiple-choice questions about themselves. After submitting responses, cards printed out with names and phone numbers were provided. The concept of using formulas to match singles based on their like, dislikes and characteristics was born. The computer assisted matching concept however, would not catch on for several more decades. Other new concepts also arose in the dating industry. Shows such as The Dating Game brought the idea of matching strangers with similarities to the forefront of entertainment, with contestants asking questions of three potential matches...

Hamby pointed out in the article that it is normal for teens to begin interest in “romantic relationships”, and a parent knows this. However, how does a parent know there is violence involved?

...Advantages of Online Dating I was very fortunate in finding a partner to spend my life with. I married my childhood friend and high school sweetheart. While my friends were spending most of their free time in bars searching for the right person, I was building on an already established relationship. While this was not the path laid out for me, I have known people who have had success using online dating sites. These people’s experiences have shown me that there are some tremendous advantages to online dating. Online dating exposes individuals to a wider variety of potential partners in an environment with less pressure than traditional dating. Online dating exposes people to an almost unlimited pool of potential partners. Traditional dating not only limits a person geographically, it also limits them to their own social circles. When using dating sites, these limitations are lifted and individuals are exposed to a larger group of people. A very good friend of mine found this fact to be very useful. After exhausting a variety of things like church functions and singles groups, she found herself very discouraged. Once she widened her range of dating candidates through online dating, she was able to find love with someone from another area. By increasing the range of candidates, she increased her chances for a successful relationship. The reason online dating is becoming so popular is because many people can benefit from these increased candidate pools...
