Changing Attitudes: The Impact of Relationship Education on Predictors
of Dating Violence
Relationship
education targets common correlates of adolescent dating violence, such as
gender role beliefs and dating violence acceptance. However, few studies to
date have evaluated the influence of relationship education on these two
correlates of adolescent dating violence and none have considered the
differential and combined effects of participants’ sociodemographic
characteristics.
In this webinar we
will present a study examining the impact of youth relationship education,
specifically the Relationship Smarts PLUS program, on adolescents’ gender role
beliefs and dating violence acceptance. Moving beyond the current literature,
we will also examine whether and how individuals’ sociodemographic identities,
specifically their gender, race, and socioeconomic status, influence change
following program participation. Using this information, we will offer
suggestions for educators and program developers to further address the needs
of youth moving forward.
