Özet:

This research was carried out on the basis of the visual, scan model and quality data analysis and the study was aimed at determining the abuse behaviors of university students in their romantic relationships and how these behaviors change in a way specific to age and gender variables. The study group consisted of 128 volunteer students who studied in the 2016-2017 Education-Teaching Year at an university located in the Northern Cyprus Turkish Republic through the accessible sampling method. The age range of participants is 21-27 and the average age is 22.98. The data of the research is collected through the summer scan and the information form developed by the researcher. In the form of information, the researchers were asked to indicate "what the abusing behaviors they encounter in their own or romantic relationships around them." The data obtained from the application is analyzed by the content analysis method. According to the findings, the abuse behaviors seen in romantic relationships were, respectively, “punishment” (25%) , “righteousness” (23.41) , “insignificant vision” (22.02) , “management” (10.12%) , “threatening” (6.55%) , “application of violence” (6.55%) , “absorption” (3.57) and “control” (2.38%) . It has been determined that these categories will be appropriate to be expressed by the concepts of "printing application", "sharing", "holding under control" and "devaluation". The findings obtained by the study of the distribution of behaviors in the abuse categories to the age and gender variables have been discussed in relation to the factors suggested that they increase the ability to cope with abuse in the summer.
