虽然约会暴力在无家可归的年轻人中很普遍,但学者们对其风险因素知之甚少。为了解决这一差距,目前的研究使用社会学习理论来研究虐待父母和看守人被捕对172名无家可归的年轻人约会暴力的影响。路径分析的结果显示,儿童身体虐待和看护人被捕与参与更多的学校打架事件呈正相关,而打架事件反过来又与参与更多的离经叛道的生存策略(例如,偷窃)密切相关。参与更多犯罪行为的年轻人更有可能报告更高程度的约会暴力。研究结果强调了在无家可归的年轻人的生活中社会学习的程度,这在他们离开家之前和他们在街上时是显而易见的。
Though dating violence is widespread among young adult homeless populations, its risk factors are poorly understood by scholars. To address this gap, the current study uses a social learning theory to examine the effects of abusive parenting and caretaker arrests on dating violence among 172 homeless young adults. Results from path analyses revealed that child physical abuse and caretaker arrests were positively associated with engaging in a greater number of school fights, which, in turn, was strongly and positively correlated with participating in more deviant subsistence strategies (e.g., stealing) since being on the street. Young people who participated in a greater number of delinquent acts were more likely to report higher levels of dating violence. Study results highlight the extent of social learning within the lives of homeless young adults, which is evident prior to their leaving home and while they are on the street.
