Irrational Beliefs and Psychological Violence Among Adolescents
Keywords:
irrational beliefs, psychological violence, adolescentsAbstract
Assessing the connection between teenagers' psychological violence and illogical ideas was the aim of the research study. A proportionate stratified sampling technique was used to collect data from selected colleges of the Gujrat District. A sample of 1000 adolescents with an age range of 15-20 was approached for data collection. Irrational beliefs were measured with the help of 4 indicators (demandingness, awfulizing, limited frustration tolerance and global evaluation/ self-downing) and psychological abuse was measured with the help of seven indicators (verbal abuse, control and coercion, isolation, gas lighting, emotional manipulation, blaming and scapegoat and degradation and humiliation) on a 5-point Likert scale. The data analysis included descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multivariate regression analysis. Results indicate all factors were positively correlated with each other.
