The present study examined physical dating aggression in different adolescent relationships and assessed linear, threshold, and moderator risk models for recurrent aggressive relationships. The 621 participants (59% girls, 41% boys) were drawn from a 1-year longitudinal survey of Canadian high school youths ranging from Grade 9 through Grade 12. Approximately 13% of participants reported recurrent dating aggression across 2 different relationships. Using peer and dyadic risk factors from Time 1 of the study, the authors confirmed a linear risk model, such that adolescents in 2 different violent relationships had significantly more contextual risk factors than did adolescents in 1 or no violent relationship. Further, structural equation modeling assessing moderation of contextual risk factors indicated that, for adolescents with high acceptance of dating aggression, peer aggression and delinquency significantly predicted recurrent aggression in a new relationship. In comparison, for adolescents with low acceptance of dating aggression, negative relationship characteristics significantly predicted recurrent aggression. Acceptance did not moderate concurrent associations between risk factors and aggression in 1 relationship. Results support a developmental psychopathological approach to the understanding of recurrent aggression and its associated risk factors.
本研究考察了不同青少年恋爱关系中的身体约会攻击行为，并评估了反复出现攻击性行为关系的线性、阈值和调节风险模型。621名参与者（59%为女生，41%为男生）来自一项对加拿大9至12年级高中生进行的为期1年的纵向调查。约13%的参与者报告在两种不同关系中反复出现约会攻击行为。利用研究第一阶段的同伴和二元风险因素，作者证实了一种线性风险模型，即处于两种不同暴力关系中的青少年比处于一种暴力关系或无暴力关系中的青少年具有显著更多的背景风险因素。此外，评估背景风险因素调节作用的结构方程模型表明，对于对约会攻击行为接受程度高的青少年，同伴攻击和犯罪行为能显著预测新关系中的反复攻击行为。相比之下，对于对约会攻击行为接受程度低的青少年，负面关系特征能显著预测反复攻击行为。接受程度并未调节一种关系中风险因素与攻击行为之间的同时关联。研究结果支持了一种发展性心理病理学方法，以理解反复出现的攻击行为及其相关风险因素。
