这项研究调查了与日本初中生识别约会暴力迹象的能力相关的因素。在 20 个月的时间里（从 2011 年 6 月到 2013 年 1 月），对日本一个县 18 所初中的 3340 名 13 至 15 岁二年级和三年级学生进行了一项调查。该调查考察了性别、对约会暴力迹象的认识、对约会暴力的了解、自尊、对性活动的态度、对平等约会关系的态度以及与学校老师的关系。进行多元线性回归分析，以确定男孩和女孩受访者识别身体和心理约会暴力迹象的能力的预测因素。还进行了二元多元逻辑回归分析，以确定男孩和女孩受访者识别性约会暴力迹象的能力的预测因素。佐贺大学医学院伦理委员会批准了该研究方案。共有 3050 名学生 (91.3%) 参与了这项研究（1547 名男生和 1503 名女生）。一些测量变量的分数存在性别差异。结果表明，对约会暴力有更多了解、注重平等约会关系以及与老师保持积极关系的男孩表现出更强的识别约会暴力迹象的能力。此外，对性活动持保守态度的男孩表现出更强的识别身体暴力和性暴力迹象的能力。此外，对约会暴力了解更多的女孩对性活动持保守态度，而注重平等约会关系的女孩表现出更强的识别约会暴力迹象的能力。这些发现表明，预防约会暴力的教育计划应促进对约会暴力的理解，考虑性别差异，并应促进学生和教师之间更好的关系，以及促进男孩和女孩之间建立平等的约会关系。
This study investigated factors associated with the ability of Japanese junior high school students to recognize the signs of dating violence. During a period of 20 months (from June 2011 to January 2013), a survey was distributed to 3340 students aged 13–15 years in the second and third grades at 18 junior high schools in a Japanese prefecture. The survey examined gender, recognition of the signs of dating violence, knowledge of dating violence, self-esteem, attitudes toward sexual activity, attitudes toward an equal dating relationship, and relationships with school teachers. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of the ability of boys and girls respondents to recognize the signs of physical and psychological dating violence. Binary multiple logistic regression analysis was also performed to identify predictors of the ability of boys and girls respondents to recognize the sign of sexual dating violence. The Ethics Committee of Saga University Medical School approved the study protocol. A total of 3050 (91.3 %) students participated in this study (1547 boys and 1503 girls). Gender differences were noted with regard to the scores for some of the variables measured. The results indicated that boys who had more knowledge of dating violence, who focused on an equal dating relationship, and had a positive relationship with their teachers showed a greater ability to recognize the signs of dating violence. In addition, boys with a conservative attitude toward sexual activity showed a greater ability to recognize the signs of physical and sexual violence. Furthermore, girls with more knowledge of dating violence had a conservative attitude toward sexual activity, and girls who focused on an equal dating relationship showed greater ability to recognize the signs of dating violence. These findings suggest that education programs to prevent dating violence should promote understanding about dating violence with consideration of gender differences and should foster better relations between students and teachers, as well as promoting the establishment of an equal dating relationship between boys and girls.
