理论和研究表明,青少年约会暴力的发展、表现和后果可能存在显著的异质性,这一点尚未得到很好的理解。目前的研究有助于我们理解这种异质性,通过在拉美裔青年(n=201;男性=13.87岁;42%男性)样本中确定参与心理、身体和性约会暴力受害和实施的不同模式,这是一个研究不足、不断增长的群体,参与约会暴力的风险很高。在男孩和女孩中,潜在班级分析确定了一个三级解决方案,其中最大的班级在所有指标中都显示出参与约会暴力的可能性较低(“不参与”;56%的男孩,女孩的%),而最小的班级显示,除了女孩的性行为和男孩的身体侵犯之外,参与所有形式的约会暴力的可能性很高(“多种形式的攻击性受害者”;男孩的10%,女孩的11%)。第三类“心理攻击性受害者”被确定为有很高的参与和经历心理约会暴力的可能性,但卷入身体或性约会暴力的可能性很低(34%的男孩,24%的女孩)。文化(父母文化适应、文化适应冲突)、家庭(冲突和凝聚力)和个人(规范信念、冲突解决技能、自我控制)、风险和保护因素与班级成员资格有关。多形式班级的成员资格与无参与班级的成员身份同时与女孩的情绪痛苦有关,并纵向预测男孩的情绪痛苦。这些结果有助于理解拉美裔青年参与约会暴力的模式的异质性,这可能反映了不同的病因过程。
Theory and research suggest that there may be significant heterogeneity in the development, manifestation, and consequences of adolescent dating violence that is not yet well understood. The current study contributed to our understanding of this heterogeneity by identifying distinct patterns of involvement in psychological, physical, and sexual dating violence victimization and perpetration in a sample of Latino youth (n=201; M=13.87 years; 42% male), a group that is understudied, growing, and at high risk for involvement in dating violence. Among both boys and girls, latent class analyses identified a three-class solution wherein the largest class demonstrated a low probability of involvement in dating violence across all indices (“uninvolved”; 56% of boys, 64% of girls) and the smallest class demonstrated high probability of involvement in all forms of dating violence except for sexual perpetration among girls and physical perpetration among boys (“multiform aggressive victims”; 10% of boys, 11% of girls). A third class of “psychologically aggressive victims” was identified for which there was a high probability of engaging and experiencing psychological dating violence, but low likelihood of involvement in physical or sexual dating violence (34% of boys, 24% of girls). Cultural (parent acculturation, acculturation conflict), family (conflict and cohesion) and individual (normative beliefs, conflict resolution skills, self-control) risk and protective factors were associated with class membership. Membership in the multiform versus the uninvolved class was concurrently associated with emotional distress among girls and predicted emotional distress longitudinally among boys. The results contribute to understanding heterogeneity in patterns of involvement in dating violence among Latino youth that may reflect distinct etiological processes.
