目的：这项初步研究的目的是评估一个五节课的约会暴力预防课程对证明使用约会暴力的态度的影响。方法：在纽约长岛一所学校的所有健康课上实施该课程。共有193名学生参加(男生106人，女生87人)。本研究采用准实验设计，将健康班随机分配到治疗组和非治疗组，采用准实验设计评价学生对约会暴力行为的态度变化。结果：课程前后评估结果显示，暴露在课程材料中的学生对使用约会暴力作为解决冲突的手段的总体态度显著下降，而未接触的学生在课程前后的评估中没有表现出态度的变化。结论：课程有望成为改变容忍约会暴力的态度的有效工具。需要进一步的研究来确定观察到的态度变化是否也与攻击行为的减少有关。(C)青少年医学学会，1997年。
Objectives: The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate a five-session dating violence prevention curriculum in terms of its effect on attitudes justifying the use of dating violence.Methods: The curriculum was implemented in all health classes in a Long Island, New York, school. A total of 193 students participated (boys, n = 106; girls, n = 87). A quasi-experimental design was used to evaluate change in attitudes justifying dating violence, with health classes randomly assigned to the treatment or no-treatment conditions.Results: Pre- to postprogram assessments indicated that there were significant decreases in overall attitudes justifying the use of dating violence as a means to resolve conflict among students exposed to the curriculum material, whereas those who were not exposed did not show attitude change from pre- to postprogram evaluation.Conclusions: The curriculum shows promise as an effective tool for changing attitudes condoning dating violence. Future research is needed to determine whether the observed attitude change is also linked to reduction in aggressive behaviors. (C) Society for Adolescent Medicine, 1997.
