Physical dating violence is a widespread problem in adolescence, which often occurs during conflict escalation. Given that individual reports may be subject to many biases, including data from both partners is essential to yield a more accurate portrait of adolescent dating relationships. This study sought to examine within-dyad agreement rates as well as dyadic associations between both partners’ conflict behaviors and physical dating violence using actor-partner interdependence modeling. The sample consisted of 126 different-sex adolescent couples (n = 252, girls: Mage = 17.34, SD = 1.39, boys: Mage = 17.98, SD = 1.65). Each partner independently completed an online questionnaire. The results revealed that boys and girls mostly disagree about what is going on within their relationship, and that the use of destructive conflict behaviors equally contributed to both partner’s physical dating violence perpetration and victimization. Increasing youth’s awareness of their own and their partner’s behaviors during conflict is key in preventing conflict escalation, and ultimately reducing the incidence of physical dating violence.

他说,她说:青少年冲突管理和约会暴力的二元视角
身体约会暴力是青少年时期普遍存在的问题,通常发生在冲突升级期间。鉴于个人报告可能会受到许多偏见的影响,包括来自双方的数据对于更准确地描述青少年约会关系至关重要。本研究试图使用行为者-伴侣相互依赖模型来检查伴侣冲突行为与身体约会暴力之间的二元一致性率以及二元关联。样本由 126 对不同性别的青少年夫妇组成 (n = 252,女孩:M年龄 = 17.34,SD = 1.39,男孩:M年龄 = 17.98,SD = 1.65)。每个合作伙伴独立完成了一份在线问卷。结果显示,男孩和女孩对他们关系中发生的事情大多持不同意见,并且破坏性冲突行为的使用同样导致了伴侣的身体约会暴力实施和受害。提高青少年对自己和伴侣在冲突中的行为的认识是防止冲突升级并最终减少身体约会暴力发生率的关键。
