Article Synopsis
- University-based sexual violence is a critical issue, particularly affecting Indigenous students who face higher levels of sexual harassment compared to their non-Indigenous peers.
- A large-scale study involving 5,627 undergraduate students across six Canadian universities assessed their experiences and consequences of this violence.
- The research indicates that while Indigenous students report more harassment, the overall contexts of sexual violence are similar for both groups, suggesting a need for tailored policies that promote cultural safety on campuses.
The present study identifies and describes romantic relationship patterns from adolescence to adulthood and examines their associations with family and peer experiences in early adolescence. In a 13-year longitudinal study, 281 youth (58 % girls) identified all their romantic partners each year from the ages of 16-24. Dimensions of family relationships (family cohesion, parent-child conflict) and peer relationships (peer likeability, social withdrawal, close friendships, other-sex friendships) were assessed at age 12.
