PURPOSE
Existing literature indicates that acceptance of dating violence is a significant and robust risk factor for psychological dating abuse perpetration. Past work also indicates a significant relationship between psychological dating abuse perpetration and poor mental health. However, no known research has examined the relationship between acceptance of dating violence, perpetration of dating abuse, and mental health. In addition to exploring this complex relationship, the present study examines whether psychological abuse perpetration mediates the relationship between acceptance of dating violence and mental health (i.e., internalizing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and hostility).
METHODS
Three waves of longitudinal data were obtained from 1,042 ethnically diverse high school students in Texas. Participants completed assessments of psychological dating abuse perpetration, acceptance of dating violence, and internalizing symptoms (hostility and symptoms of anxiety and depression).
RESULTS
As predicted, results indicated that perpetration of psychological abuse was significantly associated with acceptance of dating violence and all internalizing symptoms. Furthermore, psychological abuse mediated the relationship between acceptance of dating violence and internalizing symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS
Findings from the present study suggest that acceptance of dating violence is an important target for the prevention of dating violence and related emotional distress.
目的
现有文献表明，接受约会暴力是实施心理性约会虐待的一个重要且稳定的风险因素。过去的研究还表明，心理性约会虐待行为与心理健康状况不佳之间存在显著关联。然而，尚无已知研究考察接受约会暴力、实施约会虐待与心理健康之间的关系。除了探究这种复杂关系外，本研究还考察心理虐待行为是否介导了接受约会暴力与心理健康（即抑郁、焦虑和敌意的内化症状）之间的关系。
方法
从得克萨斯州1042名不同种族的高中生那里获取了三波纵向数据。参与者完成了心理性约会虐待行为、对约会暴力的接受程度以及内化症状（敌意以及焦虑和抑郁症状）的评估。
结果
正如预期的那样，结果表明心理虐待行为与接受约会暴力以及所有内化症状显著相关。此外，心理虐待介导了接受约会暴力与内化症状之间的关系。
结论
本研究结果表明，接受约会暴力是预防约会暴力及相关情绪困扰的一个重要目标。
