Abstract
Objectives This study examined the structural relationship between parents' negative parenting attitude, covert narcissism, relationship addiction tendency, and dating violence behavior perceived by university students and identified the paths of major variables that directly or indirectly affect the occurrence and maintenance of dating violence. Methods An online survey was conducted from February 26 to March 15, 2021, targeting 479 college students from four-year universities across the country, and the data were used for analysis. Descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, frequency analysis, and reliability analysis were conducted with the use of SPSS 25.0 and Amos 25.0 programs. Mediating effect verification was conducted through confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis, and path decomposition in order to analyze structural relationships. Results First, it was found that the higher the negative parenting attitude, the higher the effect on the perpetration of dating violence, and it was verified that the negative parenting attitude and dating violence were closely related. Second, as a result of examining whether expressive narcissism plays a mediating role in the effect of parents' negative parenting attitudes perceived by college students on dating violence, no significant mediating effect of expressive narcissism was confirmed. Third, relationship addiction tendency was found to play a mediating role in the effect of negative parenting attitudes perceived by college students on the behavior of perpetrators of dating violence. Conclusions This study integratedly analyzed the variables between covert narcissism and relationship addiction, which are individual internal variables, in the relationship between the negative parenting attitudes of parents and the dating violence perpetrators perceived by college students. Through this, it is meaningful in that it provided the basis for preventing dating violence in advance.
