Abstract
The high prevalence of dating violence (DV) among adolescents and the consequences it can have for individuals highlight the need to study this phenomenon. There are, at the moment, few studies that deal with dating violence with bystander intervention. The present study aims to examine some of the factors that may influence the intervention or not of the bystander in a situation of DV. For this purpose, a questionnaire was administered to 64 adolescents between 14 and 19 years of age. The results showed that females had been more exposed to violence than males and that the latter justify it more. Also, no or high frequency of exposure to dating violence (more than 4 times) predicted high tolerance and justification of violence. However, low frequency of exposure to violence (between 1-3 times) marked reduced tolerance and justification of violence. Bystander efficacy correlated negatively with bystander barriers and with tolerance and justification of WNV, whereas barriers and tolerance and justification correlated positively. As can be seen, it appears that the bystander effect on VN may arise from a variety of factors and further exploration of this line of research is needed.
