Summary/Abstract: The aim of the online questionnaire survey described in the study was to obtain more information on the attitudes of Hungarian 14-18-year-old secondary school students towards domestic violence (DV). The number of young people reached in the exploratory study ranged from 2626 to 3047 for the different question blocks. Our sample cannot be considered representative, as it differs from the baseline population along several dimensions. According to the findings, sexual and physical violence is most strongly rejected by the students. On the contrary, verbal and economic abuse is refused only to a lesser extent. The study describes the characteristics of DV experienced by students in their environment as well. It also highlights that a significant proportion of students do not know where to seek help in case of DV. The findings also point to the organisations and professionals the students consider as primary frontline responders.
