Adolescent girls are involved in physical dating violence as both perpetrators and victims, and there are negative consequences associated with each of these behaviors. This article used a prospective design with 519 girls dating in grade 9 to predict profiles of dating violence in grade 11 based on relationships with families of origin (child maltreatment experiences, harsh parenting), and peers (harassment, delinquency, relational aggression). In addition, dating violence profiles were compared on numerous indices of adjustment (school connectedness, grades, self-efficacy and community connectedness) and maladjustment (suicide attempts, distress, delinquency, sexual behavior) for descriptive purposes. The most common profile was no dating violence (n = 367) followed by mutual violence (n = 81). Smaller numbers of girls reported victimization or perpetration only (ns = 39 and 32, respectively). Predicting grade 11 dating violence profile membership from grade 9 relationships was limited, although delinquency, parental rejection, and sexual harassment perpetration predicted membership to the mutually violent group, and delinquency predicted the perpetrator-only group. Compared to the non-violent group, the mutually violent girls in grade 11 had lower grades, poorer self-efficacy, and lower school connectedness and community involvement. Furthermore, they had higher rates of peer aggression and delinquency, were less likely to use condoms and were much more likely to have considered suicide. There were fewer differences among the profiles for girls involved with dating violence. In addition, the victims-only group reported higher rates of sexual intercourse, comparable to the mutually violent group and those involved in nonviolent relationships. Implications for prevention and intervention are highlighted.
少女既是身体约会暴力的加害者，也是受害者，而这两种行为都有负面后果。本文使用前瞻性设计，对 519 名在 9 年级约会的少女进行研究，根据与原生家庭（儿童虐待经历、严厉的养育方式）和同伴（骚扰、犯罪、关系攻击）的关系，预测她们在 11 年级的约会暴力模式。此外，为了描述的目的，还比较了约会暴力模式在众多调整（学校联系、成绩、自我效能和社区联系）和失调（自杀企图、困扰、犯罪、性行为）指标上的差异。最常见的模式是没有约会暴力（n=367），其次是相互暴力（n=81）。报告只有受害或加害的女孩人数较少（分别为 n=39 和 32）。从 9 年级的关系预测 11 年级的约会暴力模式成员身份的能力有限，尽管犯罪、父母拒绝和性侵犯加害行为预测了相互暴力组的成员身份，而犯罪预测了加害者只有一组。与非暴力组相比，11 年级相互暴力的女孩成绩较低、自我效能感较差、学校联系和社区参与度较低。此外，她们的同伴攻击和犯罪率较高，使用避孕套的可能性较低，考虑自杀的可能性要大得多。涉及约会暴力的女孩的模式之间的差异较少。此外，仅受害者组报告的性行为发生率较高，与相互暴力组和涉及非暴力关系的组相当。强调了预防和干预的意义。
