Prevention of Dating Violence on College Campuses: An Innovative Program
Schwartz, Jonathan P.; Griffin, Linda D.; Russell, Melani M.; Frontaura-Duck, Sarannette
Journal of College Counseling, v9 n1 p90 Spr 2006
Dating violence is a significant problem on college campuses that requires preventive interventions. In addition, sexist and stereotypical attitudes that support abusive dating behavior have been recognized as potential risk factors. Previous research has found that fraternity and sorority membership is related to stereotypical beliefs concerning gender differences and dating violence suggesting that fraternity and sorority members may be at high risk for involvement in dating violence. In this article, the authors evaluate current approaches by college counseling centers to prevent dating violence, describe a new prevention program, and discuss the effectiveness of this intervention for sorority and fraternity members.
