Abstract	The violence between intimate partners is a critical public health threat and a non-unitary complex phenomenon involving factors like the types of violence, gender, and cultural influences. Traditional feminist theorists proposed the female's risk of becoming a violent victim was higher than the male in the patriarchal context. Though, studies showed mixed outcomes regarding this proposed gender difference. Gender hostility, a stereotypical gender role belief, is related to the perceived stability of patriarchy in society and may explain the risk of violence among intimate partners. Besides, levels of social gender inequality may contribute to regional violence differences. The current study examined gender, gender hostility, and region differences in Chinese college students' dating violence, including physical assault perpetration and physical assault victimization. This study constituted a secondary analysis of data gathered from 2001 to 2006 through the International Dating Violence Study (N = 17,404). It was limited to three region groups: the Chinese mainland group (n = 713), Hong Kong group (n = 515), and Taiwan group (n = 143). Gender hostility was examined via the Gender Hostility Sub-scale of Personal and Relationships Profile. Physical assault perpetration and victimization were assessed by grouping items from the Revised Conflict Tactics Scales. The study outcomes contrasted with the traditional feminist theorists' proposal, suggesting females had a significantly higher level than males on physical assault perpetration. Multiple regressions indicated a small but significant effect of gender hostility predicting physical assault perpetration in females and showed region did not moderate the predicting impact. Additional analyses found significant region differences in gender hostility among females 20-year-old or younger. The possible reasons for the outcomes included sample limitations and Chinese cultural influences. The study limitations included sample representative limits, measures' restrictions, and utilizing archival data. Future research suggestions include improving the sample representative level, using newer measures to address the nuances of Chinese physical assault behaviors, and investigating the participants with actual dating violence behaviors. The study findings are limited but support advocacy of gender equality and the need for more research in gender hostility predicting physical assault perpetration to improve dating violence prevention and intervention programs.
