A growing literature suggests that communication strategies can promote or inhibit intimate partner violence (IPV). Research on communication is still needed on a group ripe for early IPV intervention: high school-aged adolescents. This article revisits our previous analyses of young female reproductive clinic patients (Messinger, Davidson, & Rickert, 2011) by examining how the adolescent and young adult respondents differ. To explore replicability of the adolescent results across populations, they are compared to 487 adolescent female students sampled from four urban high schools. Across samples, all communication strategies were used more frequently within violent relationships. Multivariate analysis identified escalating strategies used and received as being positively associated with physical violence used and received in all three samples. Regarding verbal reasoning and temporary conflict avoidance, substantial differences appeared between the young adult and adolescent clinic samples, and results from the adolescent clinic sample were largely replicated with the adolescent school sample, suggesting that young adult samples in this literature are not adequate proxies for adolescents.
越来越多的文献表明，沟通策略可以促进或抑制亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）。对于一个处于早期 IPV 干预阶段的群体，即高中年龄段的青少年，仍然需要更多关于沟通的研究。本文通过考察青少年和年轻成年受访者的差异，重新审视了我们之前对年轻女性生殖诊所患者的分析（Messinger、Davidson 和 Rickert，2011）。为了探索青少年结果在不同人群中的可复制性，将他们与从四所城市高中抽取的 487 名青少年女性学生进行了比较。在所有样本中，所有沟通策略在暴力关系中使用得更频繁。多变量分析表明，在所有三个样本中，使用和接收到的升级策略与身体暴力的使用和接收到呈正相关。关于言语推理和暂时冲突回避，青少年诊所样本和青少年成年样本之间存在显著差异，青少年诊所样本的结果在很大程度上与青少年学校样本一致，这表明该文献中的青少年成年样本不能充分代表青少年。
