About this study
Official title: A Study of Bystander Intention and Behavior to Prevent Dating Violence Among College Students --Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior to Explore, Construct and Evaluate Dating Violence Education Programs (Second to the Third Year)
The present study was a quasi-experiment study. College students were recruited and divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. There were roughly 180-210 participants in each group, which totaled 360-420 people in all. The measurements of Dating Violence Myths and Dating Violence Bystander Help-giving Intention Questionnaire were implemented with a pre-, post-test, and 2-month follow-up design to analyze the immediate and continued educational effects. The investigators also invite 10 -30 participants to participate in online anonymous group interviews to collect qualitative data. The investigators expect dating violence education programs can improve college students' dating violence myths and dating violence bystander help-giving intention and behavior. The dating violence education program on the e-learning platform can be widely used in other colleges to build up safe dating relationships and friendly campuses.
