This study investigated the relationship between domestic violence and dating violence victimization, and the mediating influence of the justification of dating violence among female Korean university students. The present study uses a cross-sectional survey ( = 550) to examine three research questions. First, does exposure to domestic violence during childhood predict dating violence victimization later in life? Second, does justifying violence mediate the relationship between domestic violence experience and dating violence victimization? Third, does justifying violence show a difference depending on the sexes of the perpetrator in influencing victimization of violence? A series of structural equation modeling analyses were conducted. The results showed that witnessing interparental violence and experiencing child abuse directly influenced dating violence victimization. Second, the justification of violence mediated the relationship between witnessing interparental violence and dating violence victimization. Third, justifying male to female violence influenced dating violence victimization. The study's findings emphasize the importance of the gender-specific justification of violence among young female adults. This study makes essential empirical and theoretical contributions. A more in-depth understanding of the justification of violence between their prior and present experiences of violence in different contexts would support victims to recover and prevent poly-victimization experiences. Significant implications for school counselors as well as practitioners are discussed.
本研究旨在探讨家庭暴力与约会暴力受害之间的关系，以及韩国女大学生对约会暴力合理化的中介作用。本研究采用横断面调查（n=550），探讨了三个研究问题。首先，童年期经历家庭暴力是否会预测日后的约会暴力受害？其次，暴力合理化是否在家庭暴力经历与约会暴力受害之间起中介作用？第三，暴力合理化是否因施害者的性别而异，从而影响暴力受害？进行了一系列结构方程模型分析。结果表明，目睹父母间暴力和经历儿童虐待直接影响约会暴力受害。其次，暴力合理化在目睹父母间暴力与约会暴力受害之间起中介作用。第三，对男性对女性暴力的合理化影响约会暴力受害。研究结果强调了年轻成年女性中暴力合理化的性别特异性的重要性。本研究具有重要的实证和理论贡献。更深入地了解不同背景下个人先前和当前暴力经历之间的暴力合理化，将有助于受害者康复并防止遭受多重受害经历。本研究对学校辅导员和从业者具有重要意义。
