Summary
Teen dating violence (TDV) involves harmful behaviors in adolescent relationships. This study identified two TDV profiles, with one group showing higher perpetration and victimization linked to specific risk factors in Spanish youth.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Sociology
- Public Health
Background:
- Teen dating violence (TDV) is a significant issue with long-term consequences.
- Research on TDV among Spanish adolescents is limited.
- Early detection and prevention strategies are crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify TDV profiles in Spanish adolescents.
- To determine risk and protective factors associated with TDV.
- To inform evidence-based prevention campaigns.
Main Methods:
- Cluster analysis of TDV perpetration and victimization.
- Recruited 2,319 adolescents in Spain (1,079 with partners).
- Assessed TDV, school aggression, sexism, empathy, assertiveness, and psychological inflexibility.
Main Results:
- Two TDV clusters identified: low (76%) and high (24%) perpetration/victimization.
- High TDV cluster associated with older males, benevolent sexism, school aggression, personal distress.
- High TDV cluster linked to lower behavior regulation, perspective-taking, and practical ability.
Conclusions:
- Distinct TDV profiles exist among Spanish adolescents.
- Specific demographic and psychological factors predict higher TDV involvement.
- Findings support targeted TDV prevention interventions.
