Abstract

The goal of this work was to analyze the aggressive behavior (physical and psychological) in dating relationships of youths and adolescents. For this purpose, a cross-sectional study of a sample of university students comprising 154 females and 67 males, ages between 18 and 27 years, was carried out. The results reveal high presence of aggressive behaviors in the dating relationships of the youngest participants, especially psychological aggression. The implications of this study for clinical practice and future research are discussed.
