| dc.description.notes | General Overview:<br/ >This US article presents findings from a study looking at young adolescents’ perceptions of dating partner’s behaviours in dating situations and their behavioural responses. Objective: Its purposes are to explore adolescents’ perceptions and to show how research methods can be used to facilitate practice. Methods: Focus groups provided responses for the development of a questionnaire which is made up of dating scenarios. Another sample of adolescents then responded to the scenarios. The sample is recruited from a middle school youth leadership program for youths who are at risk and consisted of 80 students with the majority being female (69%) and Hispanic (84%). The mean age is 13.46, ranging from age 12 to 15 years old.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion:<br/ >Literature on person perception and interpersonal violence theories is discussed, including social learning theory and the hypothesis that violent behaviour is learned socially through experience and exposure to violence in the home, in the person’s environment and peer relationships. The unexpected result of larger percentages of aggressive responses to behavioural expectations of dating situations is discussed as showing that an aggressive behaviour does not necessarily need to be in response to a negative perception of the situation. Limitations and strengths of the study are raised. Clinical implications are also discussed.<br/ ><br/ >Results:<br/ >It has found that boys and girls reported fewer aggressive perceptions than aggressive behavioural responses to the dating scenarios. However, there are unexpectedly larger percentages of aggressive responses to behavioural expectations (64% to 82%) of dating situations than aggressive responses to perceptions (24% to 45%). It also found that the more likely the dating situation was seen as negative, then the more likely the behavioural response would be aggressive. Males are found to be no more likely than females to have negative perceptions. However, males are found more likely to have aggressive behavioural expectations than females so boys are more likely to respond aggressively even though both boys and girls had the same perceptions of the dating situations.<br/ ><br/ >Conclusions:<br/ >Adolescent boys are found significantly more likely to expect aggressive responses than girls. Clinical insight can be gained from looking at this developmental stage of young adolescents. Clinical implication can also arise from the interaction between research methods and practice as the research methods could add to achieving the goal of the youth leadership program. | en |
