Though dating violence is widespread among young adult homeless populations, its risk factors are poorly understood by scholars. To address this gap, the current study uses a social learning theory to examine the effects of abusive parenting and caretaker arrests on dating violence among 172 homeless young adults. Results from path analyses revealed that child physical abuse and caretaker arrests were positively associated with engaging in a greater number of school fights, which, in turn, was strongly and positively correlated with participating in more deviant subsistence strategies (e.g., stealing) since being on the street. Young people who participated in a greater number of delinquent acts were more likely to report higher levels of dating violence. Study results highlight the extent of social learning within the lives of homeless young adults, which is evident prior to their leaving home and while they are on the street.
尽管约会暴力在无家可归的青年人群中普遍存在，但学者们对其风险因素了解甚少。为了填补这一空白，本研究运用社会学习理论，考察了172名无家可归的青年成年人中虐待性养育方式和照料者被捕对约会暴力的影响。路径分析结果显示，儿童期身体虐待和照料者被捕与参与更多校园斗殴呈正相关，而校园斗殴又与自流浪街头以来参与更多越轨生存策略（如偷窃）呈强烈正相关。参与更多违法犯罪行为的年轻人更有可能报告更高程度的约会暴力。研究结果凸显了无家可归的青年成年人生活中社会学习的程度，这在他们离家之前和流浪街头期间都很明显。
