Though dating violence (DV) is prevalent on college campuses, few studies have examined a multitude of risk factors that may better explain this process. As such, we examined the role of family violence (i.e., childhood physical abuse, witnessing parental violence), personality traits (i.e., entitlement, antisocial personality [ASP] and borderline personality [BP]) and risk behaviors (i.e., risky sexual behaviors, heavy drinking, marijuana use, illicit drug use) on DV victimization and perpetration among 783 college students. Path analysis revealed that witnessing parental violence was linked to DV perpetration while experiencing more physical abuse was positively correlated with entitlement (females only), ASP traits, and BP traits. ASP traits (both males and females) and entitlement (females only) were directly associated with high-risk behaviors. Among females, entitlement was also indirectly associated with DV victimization and perpetration through sexual risk behaviors. Findings highlight the importance of histories of physical abuse and personality traits in understanding DV.
尽管校园中普遍存在约会暴力（DV）现象，但很少有研究探讨可能更好地解释这一现象的众多风险因素。因此，我们研究了家庭暴力（即童年期身体虐待、目睹父母暴力）、人格特质（即权利意识、反社会人格[ASP]和边缘型人格[BP]）和风险行为（即性行为风险、酗酒、大麻使用、非法药物使用）对 783 名大学生中 DV 受害和施暴的影响。路径分析显示，目睹父母暴力与 DV 施暴有关，而经历更多的身体虐待则与权利意识（仅女性）、ASP 特质和 BP 特质呈正相关。ASP 特质（男性和女性）和权利意识（仅女性）与高风险行为直接相关。对于女性而言，权利意识还通过性行为风险间接与 DV 受害和施暴有关。研究结果强调了了解 DV 时，身体虐待史和人格特质的重要性。
