Changing a Partner's Behavior: Some College Student Data
Knox, David; Zusman, Marty; Shearouse, Holly; Raji, Sarah
College Student Journal, v38 n3 p409 Sep 2004
One-hundred-and-twenty-seven undergraduates at a large southeastern university completed a confidential anonymous 33 item questionnaire designed to assess the degree to which undergraduate college students expect to change the behavior of their dating partners. The data revealed that changing a partner's behavior is normative and had been learned by observing their parents and friends attempting to change behavior in their respective relationships. The data also revealed that females, particularly those who had been involved in a previous meaningful relationship, were significantly more interested in changing their partner's gender role attitudes than vice versa. Implications of the data are suggested.
