The article Evaluating Agency and Responsibility in Gendered Violence: African American Youth Talk About Violence and Hip Hop conducted a study that focused to see African American youths' perceptions of hip hop images, hypothetical stories, and lyrics, and if they were linked to their views of gender interactions and personal relationships in their racial group. It also gave a couple of statistics that the dating violence has increased in the adolescent. The participants were African American high school students and a total of 35—half boys and half girls. They were put in 3 types of groups: all boys, all girls, and mixed gender. Also, there were a couple of moderators to control the study in each group. The participants were asked three different questions that were controversial in hip hop. Their responses to the hip hop questions suggest that they learned somewhere that certain women are nasty. Therefore, certain women choose to be abused. Also that abusive men are like that because of their environment but women that are abused because it is their fault.
