Abstract

Violence in dating relationships causes a lot of harm to the victims. It is difficult for female students as victims to realize that they have been harmed, even though they have received a lot of inappropriate treatment. This phenomenon is like an embarrassing incident, closed tightly and accepted by oneself to get the comfort of running a social life on campus. A total of 109 students who were victims of dating violence and were willing to open up were involved to reveal the role of self-esteem and the condition of Stockholm syndrome. The instrument used is a measurement scale that is relevant to the scope of violence in dating. The results of statistical calculations found a downward patterned relationship between self-esteem and Stockholm syndrome. Other results found that low self-esteem played a role in increasing the behavior of Stockholm syndrome. What are the dynamics of Stockholm syndrome such that the victim did a study that needs to be followed up in the next study? The study of the phenomenon of dating violence needs to be seen from the side of the perpetrator (male). Future research is recommended to conduct an analysis involving male respondents.
