PERCEPTION OF THE QUALITY OF EMOTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE I THE PRESENCE OF VIOLENCE

Summary/Abstract: Violence in partner relationships has long been a subject of research interest with a focus on adults. Since the 90s of the last century, there has been an increased interest in violence in young people's relationships, as well as their relationship quality. As a rule, the first emotional relationships in human life occur during the adolescent period, and they bring with them new experiences. An important component of the relationship with the opposite sex is the feeling of being in love. In this period, young people face a very important developmental challenge - they try to establish a new form of close relationship with a person who is attractive to them in a completely new way. The goal of the research is to examine the perception of the quality of emotional relationships among young people and to determine the presence of violence with special reference to its forms. The sample of respondents consisted of young people between the ages of 18 and 25. Satisfaction with an emotional relationship represents the degree to which an individual evaluates their romantic relationship as high-quality, and this assessment of satisfaction depends on the ratio of gains and losses in the relationship. For the purpose of assessment, the Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) was used(adapted from Šunjiić and Penezić, 2014). For the purposes of the research, a questionnaire related to the presence of violence in youth relationships was constructed. The results of the research were processed with a detailed descriptive analysis. The results show that young people have different perceptions of the quality of emotional relationships. It was also shown that young people are aware of the existence of the problem of violence in relationships and that they recognize violent patterns of behavior. Violent behaviors most often include those that try to dominate and control the partner. The research results can serve as a basis for creating a program for the prevention of violence in youth relationships.
