University students sustain romantic love myths that could lead to violent behavior in their love relationships. Therefore, a workshop was carried out with eleven university students majoring in Psychology to raise awareness on behaviors in love relationships that might be fostered by the perpetuation of romantic love myths in media. Participant reactions to this type of behavior were analyzed by means of a questionnaire. Following the workshop, they reported that they did not display this behavior in their love relationships and mentioned they respect other people who accept romantic love myths. The response is discussed as a process of emerging awareness.

Keywords : university students; partner violence; romantic love myths; raising awareness; social interaction.
