Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: Considering the complex context of the lives of young people, this report reviews relevant literature to better understand what we know about how young people think about the romantic and intimate relationships and the factors that influence both healthy and harmful relationship behaviours. Young people report knowing the ‘basics’ about healthy and unhealthy relationships. They understand that physical violence is harmful and that they should aspire for egalitarian relationships. Yet, they do not recognise more subtle forms of unhealthy relationships, including coercive control, and they struggle with identifying problematic behaviours in their relationships, despite being able to identify problematic behaviours in others.
