Dating violence (DV) is a serious social problem among adolescents and emerging adults, both boys and girls are victims and perpetrators. The current study aimed to investigate correlates of DV perpetration among Belgian youths. We examined facets of empathy and verbal skills as protective factors, and facets of impulsivity as risk factors for psychological and physical DV perpetration. Eight hundred and thirteen adolescents and emerging adults (71.7% females, mean age = 18.9) completed self-administered questionnaires investigating their physical and psychological DV perpetration, empathy, verbal skills, and impulsivity. Findings show that male and female respondents have different patterns of correlations between the studied variables. Facets of empathy and verbal skills hinder DV perpetration, whereas facets of impulsivity foster it. The impact of the different facets can vary across regression models, gender of the perpetrator, and forms of DV. The present study contributes to a better understanding of DV by examining facets of empathy, verbal skills, and impulsivity. Prevention programs are encouraged to target specific facets of these variables among adolescents and emerging adults.
约会暴力（DV）是青少年和新兴成年人中一个严重的社会问题，男孩和女孩都是受害者和施害者。本研究旨在调查比利时青少年中 DV 施害的相关因素。我们研究了同理心和语言技能的各个方面作为保护因素，以及冲动性的各个方面作为心理和身体 DV 施害的风险因素。813 名青少年和新兴成年人（71.7%为女性，平均年龄=18.9）完成了自我管理的问卷，调查他们的身体和心理 DV 施害、同理心、语言技能和冲动性。研究结果表明，男性和女性受访者在研究变量之间的相关性模式不同。同理心和语言技能的各个方面阻碍了 DV 的施害，而冲动性的各个方面则助长了它。不同方面的影响可以因回归模型、施害者的性别和 DV 的形式而有所不同。本研究通过研究同理心、语言技能和冲动性的各个方面，为更好地理解 DV 做出了贡献。鼓励预防计划针对青少年和新兴成年人这些变量的特定方面。
