Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study was to develop and test the effectiveness of a method of preventive intervention to promote preventive action against psychological violence. Studies included an internet survey (Study 1, Study 2 and Study 3), a secondary analysis of existing data on the intensification of romantic violence in romantic relationships and the escalation process of stalking (Study 4 and Study 5), and a practical intervention targeting local communities (Study 6). However, together with the COVID-19 epidemic, intervention experiments and application prevention could not be reached. These studies provided evidence of the process from psychological to physical violence and the potential for intervention in the community.
