Abstract

Black (N=64), White (N=130), and Hispanic (N=34) college students completed measures of intimate violence. Abusive behaviors examined included possessiveness; rejection; sexual pressure; forced sex; moderate physical abuse; and violence leading to visible injuries, need for medical help, or police involvement. Results revealed that incidence of experienced abuse in dating was similar for Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics in sample. (Author/NB)
