The purpose of this study is to examine whether there is a difference in the level of sexual assertiveness and acceptability of violence among people who experienced dating violence in same-sex relationships. Total of 238 participants with same sex relationship experience answered questions about their dating violence experiences. Then, four different types of dating violence experiences such as physical violence, psychological violence, sexual violence and outing were also examined. Furthermore, participants answered the questions to examine the level of sexual assertiveness and acceptability of violence. The results of this study were as follows: First, each type of violence such as physical violence, psychological violence, sexual violence and outing have significant positive correlations with each other. Second, male participants with dating violence experience have lower level of sexual assertiveness than male participants without dating violence experience. Moreover, participants with psychological violence experience have significantly lower level of sexual assertiveness than participants without psychological violence experience. However, there was no significant difference in the level of acceptability of violence between those who do not have dating violence experience and those who have. These results should be explored in depth through further study. Finally, limitations of the study and the direction for future study were also discussed.
