Persepsi terhadap Kekerasan dalam Pacaran pada Mahasiswa

Abstract

Dating violence refers to intentional actions in a romantic relationship aimed at maintaining and gaining control over a partner. This study aims to identify students' perceptions of dating violence. Perception is defined as how an individual understands and evaluates various forms of violence in a dating relationship, including verbal, sexual, and physical abuse. This research employs a descriptive quantitative method involving 400 participants selected through accidental sampling. Data was collected using an online questionnaire in the form of Google Forms. Reliability testing using Guttman’s method yielded a value of 0.957, and all items had a corrected item-total correlation above 0.30, indicating that the research instrument is highly consistent. Data analysis reveals that students' perceptions of dating violence are categorized as less precise, with 254 individuals (63.5%) falling into this category. These findings provide insight into how students view and assess dating violence in relationships.
