Dating aggression has been identified as a priority public health concern. Although alcohol use is a known robust risk factor for dating aggression involvement, such usage is neither necessary nor sufficient for dating aggression involvement. As such, a growing topic of interest is a better understanding of when, and for whom, alcohol use increases risk. A theoretical moderator model posits that associations between alcohol use and dating aggression involvement vary depending on both background (e.g., psychopathology) and situational (e.g., relationship characteristics) risk factors. Alcohol use is thought to be more strongly associated with dating aggression in the context of these other risk factors. Using an intensive longitudinal design, we collected six waves of data spanning 6 months from 120 participants (60 females; M age W1 = 22.44). Alcohol use and relationship risk were both associated with increases in dating aggression involvement. Consistent with a moderator model, interactions emerged between alcohol use and relationship risk for subsequent dating aggression involvement. The findings underscore the importance of alcohol use and relationship risk for the development of intervention and prevention programs.
约会暴力已被确定为优先的公共卫生关注点。尽管饮酒是导致约会暴力参与的一个已知的重要风险因素,但饮酒既不是导致约会暴力参与的必要条件,也不是充分条件。因此,人们越来越关注的一个话题是,更好地了解何时以及对于哪些人来说,饮酒会增加风险。一个理论调节模型假设,饮酒与约会暴力参与之间的关联因背景(例如,精神病理学)和情境(例如,关系特征)风险因素而有所不同。在这些其他风险因素的背景下,饮酒与约会暴力的关联更为强烈。我们使用密集的纵向设计,从 120 名参与者(60 名女性;W1 时的平均年龄为 22.44 岁)中收集了 6 个为期 6 个月的时间点的数据。饮酒和关系风险均与约会暴力参与的增加有关。与调节模型一致,饮酒和关系风险之间的相互作用对随后的约会暴力参与产生了影响。这些发现强调了饮酒和关系风险对于制定干预和预防计划的重要性。
