BONILLA-ALGOVIA, Enrique  and  RIVAS-RIVERO, Esther. Relation between exposure to intimate partner violence and dating violence. Psychol. av. discip. [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.1, pp.89-99.  Epub Dec 29, 2020. ISSN 1900-2386.  https://doi.org/10.21500/19002386.3966.

The main aim of this research is to analyze the relation between exposure to intimate partner violence and victimization and perpetration of dating violence. The information was obtained through a self-applied questionnaire and the research method was cross-sectional. The study sample is composed of 443 students (317 women and 126 men) of different Colombian universities. The results show that 60% of participants witnessed physical and psychological aggressions in the near context; most of them were exerted against women. Exposure to intimate partner violence is related to both perpetration and victimization of dating violence. Consequently, the identification of the risk factors of dating violence allows for specific intervention programs, preventing their occurrence and reducing their prevalence.

Keywords : exposure to violence; dating violence; intergenerational transmission; predictors; risk factors.
