The Ecuador-based research aims to study dating violence among young university students in Ecuador. The study will focus on identifying the main correlates for perpetration and victimization of dating violence, analyzing discrepancies and biases, and modeling actor-partner and actor-couple interdependence. The goal is to understand the dynamics of violent relationships and the personal, family, and social characteristics that contribute to dating violence, with the ultimate aim of informing prevention and intervention efforts. The study will use an integrative conceptual and methodological approach, including the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model, to analyze the interdependence of behaviors within couples.
