This research aimed to explore the interplay of sexism and moral disengagement (MD) in the explanation of psychological and physical dating aggression. The sample comprised 1113 Spanish adolescents (49.2% girls, = 552) between the ages of 12 to 17 ( = 14.44). A latent profile analysis conducted with sub-sample of 432 adolescents with sentimental experience identified four configurations: (1) benevolent; (2) less disengaged and sexist; (3) highly disengaged and sexist; and (4) moderately disengaged and sexist. Regarding gender and age, boys were more present than girls in the moderately disengaged and sexist group, as well as in the highly disengaged and sexist profile. The highly disengaged and sexist and benevolent groups were the youngest. Regarding dating aggression, the highly disengaged and sexist group had the highest engagement in physical and psychological aggression. However, the others three profiles showed a similar engagement in aggression. These findings confirmed the moderating role of MD on the relationship between sexism and dating aggression and suggested that the association between MD, sexism, and dating aggression was exponential; that is, the risk appeared when adolescents were extremely hostile and disengaged. The results have implications for the design of tailored dating aggression prevention programmes.
本研究旨在探讨性别歧视与道德脱离(MD)在解释心理和身体约会攻击中的相互作用。样本包括 1113 名年龄在 12 至 17 岁之间的西班牙青少年(49.2%为女孩,n=552)。对有情感经历的 432 名青少年进行的潜在剖面分析确定了四种配置:(1)仁慈;(2)较少脱离且性别歧视;(3)高度脱离且性别歧视;(4)中度脱离且性别歧视。关于性别和年龄,与女孩相比,男孩更多地存在于中度脱离且性别歧视组以及高度脱离且性别歧视组中。高度脱离且性别歧视和仁慈组是最年轻的。关于约会攻击,高度脱离且性别歧视组在身体和心理攻击方面的参与度最高。然而,其他三个配置在攻击方面表现出相似的参与度。这些发现证实了 MD 对性别歧视和约会攻击之间关系的调节作用,并表明 MD、性别歧视和约会攻击之间的关联是指数级的;也就是说,当青少年极度敌对和脱离时,风险就会出现。研究结果对量身定制的约会攻击预防计划的设计具有启示意义。
