Dating violence (DV) is still a global problem of enormous proportions. Scientific and social consensus highlights the necessity of performing typological analyses in order to better understand the diverse violent experiences and intervention needs of the victims.
The sample comprised 1,308 Mexican and Spanish adolescents aged between 12 and 18, who had been victims of DV. Two-step cluster analyses were performed for each country using the frequency and severity of the victimization as grouping variables, which was followed by an analysis of the differences between clusters in personal and relationship characteristics.
The analyses suggested three clusters in both countries: Victims of psychological aggression, Victims of psychological and physical aggression, and Victims of psychological, physical, and sexual aggression. The early start of the first dating relationship and the prolonged exposure to aggression throughout different relationships were associated with the most victimized groups.
The findings highlight the need to start intervention strategies at a young age targeting the promotion of skills to recognize and confront violence before it is established as a pattern of coexistence with the significant other.
约会暴力（DV）仍然是一个全球性的严重问题。科学和社会共识强调有必要进行类型分析，以便更好地了解受害者不同的暴力经历和干预需求。
该样本包括 1308 名年龄在 12 至 18 岁之间的遭受过 DV 的墨西哥和西班牙青少年。对每个国家使用受害频率和严重程度作为分组变量进行两步聚类分析，然后对个人和关系特征方面的聚类差异进行分析。
分析表明两个国家均存在三个聚类：心理攻击受害者、心理和身体攻击受害者以及心理、身体和性攻击受害者。首次约会关系的早期开始和不同关系中长时间暴露于攻击与受害程度最高的群体有关。
研究结果强调需要在年轻时就开始干预策略，旨在促进识别和应对暴力的技能，以防止其成为与重要他人相处的一种模式。
