Föreliggande studie undersökte förekomsten av milt partnervåld bland studenter samt om det förelåg en interaktionseffekt mellan kvinnliga och manliga studenter vad gäller uppfattningen av allvarlighetsgraden till partnervåld samt studentens egen historia av partnervåld. Två vinjetter beskrev ett scenario av partnervåld som graderades utifrån Opinions of Domestic Violence Scale samt fjorton frågor om beteenden inom partnervåld. Deltagarna var 476 studenter från ett mellanstort universitet i Sverige. Resultatet indikerade på att manliga studenter är mer utsatta för milt partnervåld medan kvinnliga studenter begår mer milt partnervåld. Vidare visade resultatet att manliga studenter som hade varit utsatta för partnervåld uppfattade våldet som allvarligt, men som mindre allvarligt än manliga studenter som varken varit utsatta eller förövare av partnervåld, samtidigt som kvinnliga studenter uppfattade våldet som allvarligt, oavsett om de hade varit utsatta, förövare, både utsatta och förövare eller varken utsatt eller förövare av partnervåld. Studiens resultat diskuteras utifrån tidigare forskning samt Gender schema theory. Praktiska implikationer diskuterades som understryker att vidare kunskap inom området bör implementeras. / The present study examined the frequency of mild partner violence among students, as well as the interaction between female and male students regarding the perception of the severity of partner violence together with the students’ own history of partner violence. Two vignettes described a scenario of partner violence and were graded according to the Opinions of Domestic Violence Scale along with fourteen questions about behaviours within partner violence. The participants were 476 students enrolled at an average sized university in Sweden. The results indicated that male students generally were more victimized of mild partner violence, while women perpetrated more mild partner violence. Furthermore, the results also showed that male students who had been victims of partner violence perceived partner violence as severe, but less severe compared to male students that had been neither victims nor perpetrators of partner violence, while female students perceived the violence as more severe, regardless if they had been victimized, perpetrators, both victimized and perpetrators or neither victimized nor perpetrators. The study’s results were discussed based on previous research as well as Gender Schema Theory. Practical implications were discussed which conclude that further education is needed within the area.
