Abstract
Dating is a common phenomenon, even at a young age. Dating as a medium for channelling hormonal maturity from the development of biological and psychological elements in women and men, on the other hand, gives rise to Dating Violence (DV) behaviour. DV is not a personal case. There is a social aspect, which is often subtle, but is the source of the value of the behaviour. For this reason, in studying DV it is necessary to look at the relationship between the DV phenomenon and the social phenomena that surround it. By using the Symbolic Violence perspective, a picture of DV in the social sphere is presented. The research approach is descriptive qualitative. A general overview of DV is obtained through distributing questionnaires whose results are processed through distribution tables. Next, a Focus Group Discussion and in-depth interviews were conducted with several informants who filled out questionnaires to obtain an overview of the background of DV behaviour related to social factors. The research results show that habitus, which is the structure of the social world, shapes personal perspectives, making DV considered an acceptable action for both DV perpetrators and victims. DV also obtains support from the capital owned by one of the partners and the arena in which the relationship occurs. Habitus, capital, and the social arena make DV increasingly justified.
