College students are at increased risk for dating violence (DV) perpetration and victimization. One group of college students who may be at elevated risk is college student-athletes. While levels of athletic involvement range from National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I to Division III, there is currently a lack of information about the dating and relationship behaviors of male and female Division III student-athletes. This study identified the frequency of both minor and severe physical, psychological, and sexual DV perpetration and victimization in a sample of NCAA Division III college student-athletes. We also examined hazardous drinking and hostile sexism as risk factors for DV perpetration and victimization among male and female student-athletes. A total of 350 student-athletes from a Division III university participated in this study. In total, 57% of student-athletes reported perpetrating some form of DV in the past year, while 56% reported experiencing some form of DV victimization in the past year. Two negative binomial generalized linear models assessed if hazardous drinking and hostile sexism were associated with sexual assault perpetration and victimization among men and women. Both hostile sexism and hazardous drinking were predictive of DV perpetration and victimization. These findings serve as an important first step in identifying behaviors that contribute to DV among Division III student-athletes and can be used to inform future prevention interventions aimed at decreasing DV among student-athletes.
大学生在遭受恋爱暴力（DV）方面的风险增加。一类可能处于高风险的大学生群体是运动员大学生。虽然运动员的参与水平从全国大学生体育协会（NCAA）一级到三级不等，但目前缺乏关于三级大学生运动员恋爱和关系行为的信息。本研究在 NCAA 三级大学生运动员样本中确定了轻微和严重的身体、心理和性 DV 侵害和受害的频率。我们还研究了危险饮酒和敌意性别歧视作为男性和女性运动员 DV 侵害和受害的危险因素。共有 350 名来自三级大学的运动员参加了这项研究。共有 57%的运动员报告在过去一年中实施了某种形式的 DV，而 56%的运动员报告在过去一年中遭受了某种形式的 DV 受害。两个负二项广义线性模型评估了危险饮酒和敌意性别歧视是否与男性和女性的性侵犯侵害和受害有关。敌意性别歧视和危险饮酒都与 DV 的侵害和受害有关。这些发现是确定三级运动员大学生中 DV 行为的重要第一步，可以用于告知未来旨在减少运动员大学生中 DV 的预防干预措施。
