Neue Studien: Mädchen begehen so häufig Gewalt gegenüber Dating-Partnern wie Jungen

Neue Studien bestätigt das, was wir seit Jahrzehnten ohnehin schon wissen, die herrschende Geschlechterpolitik aber weiterhin ignoriert:

More girls – 43 percent – than boys – 28 percent – reported committing an act of physical dating violence, said researchers who are presenting their findings beginning Wednesday at the American Psychological Association’s annual meeting. Slightly more boys – 23 percent – than girls – 18 percent – reported perpetrating at least one act of sexual violence.

For her study, Dorothy Espelage, professor of educational psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and her colleagues conducted a longitudinal study among 625 students starting in grades 5, 6, and 7, and followed them over a period of four years. Researchers interviewed the students at intervals over that time.

Absurderweise nennt die NBC die Ergebnisse dieser Studien "überraschend". Tatsächlich sind sie alles andere als das.
