The purpose of this study is to examine attitudes towards domestic violence. Attitudes toward domestic violence are measured by positive or negative views of violence or aggression toward a spouse, children, or family member. My independent variables are gender, consisting of male and female individuals, classification consisting of upperclassmen and freshmen, and age. To test the relative impact of my independent variables, my control variable is engagement. In my study I have three different hypotheses. Hypothesis 1- Males will be more likely to have a negative view towards domestic violence than females. 2) Hypothesis 2- Upperclassmen are more likely to have a negative attitude toward domestic violence than freshmen. 3) Respondents aged 21-25 will have a more negative attitude towards domestic violence than respondents aged 18-20.
