Although violence has become an increasing concern, the motivations and justifications for such egregious behaviour remain poorly understood. Two hundred and sixty one college students completed questionnaires concerning acceptance of and participation in two kinds of violence - violence against peers and dating violence. Results indicat that although violence may be common place, it is still deemed unacceptable, especially when the violence is motivated by peers, personal disposition or avoiding accountability. In contrast, violence is viewed as more acceptable when in response to provocation or in defense of oneself or another. Violence type affected acceptability, with date violence less acceptable than peer violence. A modest relation between violence and behaviour was observed, those more accepting of violence were more likely to engage in violent behaviour. The sex of the respondent and the sex of the aggresor influenced all the findings, suggesting that gender may moderate acceptance of violence and in relation to violent behaviour.
