Dating violence is abusive behavior towards the partner of an unmarried couple. This isn't just physical abuse. Other forms of abusive behavior are also possible. These behaviors include economic control, verbal abuse and demanding sexual acts. There are many methods to prevent dating violence whether you're a couple or a new partner.
Psychological aggression
Psychological aggression is a form of violence in relationships. It is when one person acts aggressively towards another partner, even if they have different personality traits. This type of relationship violence is often a result of a lack of understanding about how to behave in certain situations. These sections will describe some of the characteristics that make up this type of violence. These characteristics might help you to better understand how to stop or respond to this type of behavior.
You can prevent violence from happening in your relationship by learning how to manage you emotions. Multiple studies have proven that people who can control their emotions and maintain self-control are less likely than others to commit violent acts. One study showed that those who were able to exercise self-control in the dating process were less likely than others to engage in physical altercations, and they scored 1.65 units higher on the scale. Participants with more antisocial tendencies were also more likely to engage violent behavior. The findings revealed that males with more antisocial tendencies than their female counterparts are at greater risk of psychological violence.
Economic control
Researchers have compared the rates of economic control and physical abuse in intimate relationships, and found that both are positively associated. However, there are some differences. Physical abuse is much more common than economic control, and women are more likely to report economic abuse than their male counterparts. However, physical abuse and economic abuse are two different types of abuse. Women are four times more likely to be subject to physical abuse than men.
While many studies focus on preventing violence in intimate relationships, this study focuses on domestic partners. It revealed that many victims feel their partners are abusive. Understanding how economic control is related to domestic abuse and its effects is essential. The study also highlights the importance of economic empowerment programs, which focus on increasing the financial literacy of victims and improving their confidence in managing their finances.
Verbal abuse
Verbal abuse can be very harmful to a person's mental and emotional health. This abuse can even lead to suicide attempts or self-harm. To justify their own actions or behavior, the abuser might make false accusations. These accusations may go around in circles and can be detrimental to victim's mental health and emotional well-being.
Protecting yourself is the best way to handle verbal abuse. Begin by limiting your exposure to the abuser. Then, make sure you surround yourself with people who will support and encourage you. This will give you the time and space to evaluate your relationship. If you feel it's not sustainable you may need to break up with the relationship.
Exercising sexual desires
A form of physical abuse, which involves forcing a partner into sexual activity, is called "demanding sexual acts in dating violence". The pressure may come in the form or threats, arguments, and persistence. It is not uncommon for victims to succumb to the pressure of their abusers, even though they may not want to do certain acts.
