Abstract
U.S. college students (N = 1,861) completed a survey assessing violent media consumption (VMC), intimate partner aggression tactics, and partner injuries requiring medical attention. Mediation analyses revealed that physical aggression directed toward an intimate partner significantly mediated the relationship between VMC and partner injury, implicating VMC in dating violence perpetration.
