다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Taking note of dating violence among university students emerging as a serious social problem recently, this study purposed to analyze several factors influencing dating violence. Specifically, we surveyed the current state of dating violence in university students and analyzed the patterns of drinking behavior connected to dating violence in order to examine the effects of university students’ drinking behavior on dating violence. The subjects of this study were 328 female university students attending universities Seoul, Gyeonggi and Chungbuk, and 319 questionnaires were used in analysis.

The major results of this study were as follows.
First, problem drinkers were 22.3% among the subjects(women) and 42.6% of their date partners(men), showing how serious the drinking problem is among Korean university students. Thus, in order to prevent accidents resulting from drinking, it is necessary for schools to develop and apply drinking problem prevention programs for freshman, to educate the seriousness of the drinking problem, and to held prevention campaigns.
Second, the results showed that violence may occur in a romantic dating relationship and that its frequency is not low. This predicts that anybody can experience violence in her/his dating relationship and become the victim of the violence. As a dating relationship between man and woman is a common situation and everybody is exposed to the risk of violence in the dating relationship, it is necessary to prepare preventive interventions.
Third, another noteworthy finding of this study is that over 50% of dating violence cases were sexual violence. These reports suggest the necessity of programs for preventing sexual violence among university students, and education on the seriousness of sexual violence that may occur in a dating situation and how to cope with dating violence.
Fourth, the results of this study showed a significant correlation between drinking problem and dating violence. In addition, we examined the effect of drinking behavior on dating violence and the relation between various drinking characteristics(drinking behavior, binge drinking, drinking problem, family history of drinking, etc.) and dating violence. According the results, the subjects’ drinking problem had a significant effect on emotional violence among the types of dating violence, and partners’ drinking problem had a significant effect on physical violence. On the contrary, sexual violence was not affected by drinking problem, and this result was inconsistent with previous reports that drinking is related to sex‐related problems such as unwanted sexual intercourse and sexual behavior. With regard to the relation between drinking behavior and dating violence, further research should be focused on how university students’ drinking behavior affects their sexual violence.
Fifth, satisfaction with dating relationship and the awareness of violence were found to be common variables affecting emotional violence, physical violence and sexual violence. The seriousness of dating violence was higher when violence was perceived to be irrational and when relationship satisfaction with the date partner was low. In this sense, it is considered necessary to help university students reestablish the concept of violence.
Both dating violence and drinking problem are serious problems in contemporary society. In order to prevent social problems caused by dating violence and drinking, it is required for university counseling centers to develop programs for dealing with dating violence.
