Correlation between individual factors and experiencing intimate partner violence with college students

Tema ovog rada je partnersko nasilje kod studenata na Sveučilištu u Zagrebu te se ono ispituje kroz iskustva i doživljaje sudionika koji su dio ciljane populacije. Istraživanje se bavi utvrđivanjem povezanosti doživljavanja nasilja s individualnim čimbenicima samopoštovanja i stavova o nasilju. Nasilje se u radu dijeli na psihičko, tjelesno i seksualno nasilje. Stavovi o nasilju se ispituju putem skale slaganja sa stavovima o nasilju dok se pitanje samopoštovanja interpretira putem skala samo-sviđanja i samopouzdanja. U radu se nastoji prikazati pojavnost partnerskog nasilja kod studenata i povezanost doživljavanja partnerskog nasilja s individualnim faktorima samopoštovanja i stavova o nasilju. Istraživanjem nisu utvrđene povezanosti doživljenog partnerskog nasilja i samopoštovanja, kao ni povezanosti između doživljenog partnerskog nasilja i stavova o nasilju.The topic of this paper is intimate partner violence in student relationships in the University of Zagreb and it is being researched through the experiences of participants who are a part of the target group.
