The study of violence between dating partners is a logical extension of interest in marital violence. However, little of this research tests explanations of intimate violence using multivariate techniques, and only recently have such tests occurred within a theoretical framework. Drawing on a recent social learning model of courtship violence (Riggs & O'Leary, 1989), this paper empirically examines constructs hypothesized to be predictive of the use of dating violence and investigates possible gender differences in the underlying causal structure of such violence. Logit analysis indicates that parent-child violence, drug use, and knowledge of use of dating violence by others predict the use of courtship violence by females. Belief that violence between intimates is justifiable, drug use, and parental divorce are related to perpetration of dating aggression by males. Explanations for these results and the importance of a multivariate approach to the problem are discussed.
情侣间暴力行为的研究是对婚姻暴力研究兴趣的合理延伸。然而，这类研究很少使用多变量技术来检验对亲密暴力行为的解释，而且直到最近才有此类检验出现在理论框架内。本文借鉴了最近关于求爱暴力行为的社会学习模型（里格斯和奥利里，1989），对那些假定可预测约会暴力行为的构念进行了实证研究，并调查了此类暴力行为潜在因果结构中可能存在的性别差异。逻辑回归分析表明，亲子暴力行为、吸毒以及对他人约会暴力行为的了解可预测女性的求爱暴力行为。认为亲密关系间的暴力行为合理、吸毒以及父母离异与男性的约会攻击行为有关。文中讨论了这些结果的解释以及采用多变量方法解决该问题的重要性。
