ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the moderating effect of dating violence awareness on the relationship between clinginess and dating violence.
METHODS: A survey was conducted online (Google Forms) and only those with dating experience (more than 3 months) were included in the study. A total of 450 participants were included in the final analysis (mean age=27.96 years, SD=5.04). The moderating effect was verified using the PROCESS macro for SPSS 2.16.
RESULTS: The results showed that clinginess positively impacted dating violence. Second, past fixation, lack of nowness, and desire obsession were among the subfactors of clinginess that had a positive impact on dating violence. Third, dating violence awareness moderated the relationship between clinginess and dating violence.
CONCLUSION: This study provides a theoretical basis for preventing dating violence in early adulthood and providing intervention.
