AB Currently, violence in adolescent and young couples has a significant social impact onyoung people’s physical and psychological health. However, the study of violence in homosexualcouples must also be addressed. This research analyzes the levels of violent victimization and theperception of abuse in both homosexual and heterosexual couples. Participants’ ages ranged between14 and 29 years (M = 20.14, SD = 3.464). We used The Dating Violence Questionnaire-Revised(CUIVNO-R), which was applied in two consecutive studies. The results indicate high levels ofvictimization, especially in the sample of homosexual participants. The scores generally show alow perception of couple violence but high victimization rates. The results of this study reveal theimportance of the issue of violence in couples from minority groups and suggest that couple violenceshould not be understood as unidirectional, i.e., exclusively from men to women. These findingsshow the need for education in healthy relationships and consideration of different types of couplesin these relationships.
