Abstract

An exploratory survey of premarital woman abuse in a sample of Ontario male university students yielded an incidence rate of 70 percent. Consistent with many U.S. studies, "minor" forms of abuse were more frequently reported. Moreover, cohabitors were more violent than men involved in less serious dating relationships. Suggestions for further research are discussed.
