Physical dating violence is a widespread problem in adolescence, which often occurs during conflict escalation. Given that individual reports may be subject to many biases, including data from both partners is essential to yield a more accurate portrait of adolescent dating relationships. This study sought to examine within-dyad agreement rates as well as dyadic associations between both partners' conflict behaviors and physical dating violence using actor-partner interdependence modeling. The sample consisted of 126 different-sex adolescent couples (n = 252, girls: M = 17.34, SD = 1.39, boys: M = 17.98, SD = 1.65). Each partner independently completed an online questionnaire. The results revealed that boys and girls mostly disagree about what is going on within their relationship, and that the use of destructive conflict behaviors equally contributed to both partner's physical dating violence perpetration and victimization. Increasing youth's awareness of their own and their partner's behaviors during conflict is key in preventing conflict escalation, and ultimately reducing the incidence of physical dating violence.
身体层面的约会暴力在青少年中是一个普遍存在的问题，它常常发生在冲突升级期间。鉴于个人报告可能存在诸多偏差，纳入双方的数据对于更准确地描绘青少年约会关系至关重要。本研究旨在使用行为者-伙伴相互依赖模型，检验二元组内的一致性比率以及双方冲突行为与身体层面约会暴力之间的二元关联。样本包括126对不同性别的青少年情侣（n = 252，女孩：M = 17.34，标准差 = 1.39，男孩：M = 17.98，标准差 = 1.65）。每一位伴侣独立完成一份在线问卷。结果显示，男孩和女孩对于他们关系中发生的事情大多存在分歧，并且使用破坏性冲突行为同样会导致双方实施身体层面的约会暴力以及成为受害者。提高青少年对自己及伴侣在冲突期间行为的认识，是防止冲突升级并最终减少身体层面约会暴力发生率的关键。
