Attitudes towards gender roles refer to the beliefs people have about the appropriate roles and responsibilities of women and men. Psychological violence in the family refers to causing psychological and emotional pain and endangering the child's mental health, development and dignity. Psychological dating violence is most commonly reported as verbal aggression that involves threats, insults, ridicule and humiliation, controlling a partner, blackmailing and manipulating, and includes actions that make the victim feel bad about themselves and feel guilty about their actions or opinions. The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between gender roles and experiences with psychological violence in the family and partner relationships. The study was conducted by posting a survey in Facebook groups and 212 young people between the age of 18 and 30 filled out the anonymous online questionnaire. The results showed that there is a statistically significant negative correlation between attitudes towards gender roles and perpetrating and experiencing psychological violence in a relationship, where persons with more egalitarian attitudes are less likely to perpetrate and experience psychological violence in a relationship. There was also a statistically significant correlation between experiencing psychological violence in the family with the act and experiencing of psychological violence in partner relationships, in such a way that people who experienced psychological violence in the family more often perpetrated and experienced psychological violence in partner relationships more. Furthermore, the results showed a positive correlation between the frequency of perpetrated and experienced psychological violence, the association between the age of the participant and the perpetration of psychological violence, the association between the partner’s age with the act of psychological violence, the relationship between the duration of the relationship with the perpetration of violence and between the partner's age and attitudes about gender roles.
