This study explored patterns of controlling behavior, physical violence, and attitudes toward social limits in 437 male and female Mexican university students in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Students reported experiences of controlling behavior and physical violence with partners, as well as their attitudes toward social norms. Results found similar levels of experienced controlling behavior and physical violence perpetration/victimization between males and females. Participants generally expressed adjusting to social norms rather than overstepping them, though males tended to overstep limits more. Relationships with mutual physical violence and controlling behavior showed higher chronicity than unidirectional violence. The implications involve acknowledging changing dynamics in more educated young Mexicans and recognizing intimate partner violence as heterogeneous for interventions.
