The previous literature has revealed the relationship between alcohol abuse and violent behaviours; however, the results are not always conclusive, highlighting the need to explore other variables that allow us to establish risk profiles.
The goal is to examine whether the relation between alcohol abuse and physical violence towards a partner can be influenced (moderate) by difficulties in emotional regulation.
A public high school in Manabí (Ecuador).
A total of 1519 high school students with ages between 14 and 18 years (mean = 15.77, SD = 1.22), with 54% ( = 820) being male.
The measures we observed were alcohol abuse (i.e., frequency of alcohol abuse in the past 30 days), physical violence exercised towards a partner (Violence Received, Exercised and Perceived in Dating Relationships of Young People and Adolescents) and emotional dysregulation (Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale; DERS).
It is observed that there exists significantly higher alcohol abuse in males, regardless of their age, as well as more physical violence by adolescent males towards their partners. Direct effects of alcohol abuse on physical intimate partner violence are observed in males from the age of 16 and in females from the age of 14. Moreover, the direct effects of different emotional dysregulation strategies on physical violence depend on gender.
The moderating effects of emotional dysregulation strategies between alcohol abuse and physical intimate partner violence are observed only in the case of adolescent females (16-17 years). In particular, emotional dysregulation variables such as non-awareness, impulse, nonacceptance, or lack of strategies interfere as moderators in the relationship between excessive alcohol abuse and physical violence towards a partner. In the case of non-awareness, contrary to the other three, when scores are low or moderate, a statistically significant relationship between alcohol abuse and violence is observed.
先前的文献揭示了酒精滥用与暴力行为之间的关系；然而，结果并不总是确凿的，这凸显了探索其他变量以建立风险概况的必要性。
目标是研究情绪调节困难是否会影响（调节）酒精滥用与针对伴侣的身体暴力之间的关系。
厄瓜多尔马纳比省的一所公立高中。
共有1519名年龄在14至18岁之间的高中生（平均年龄 = 15.77，标准差 = 1.22），其中54%（ = 820）为男性。
我们观察的指标包括酒精滥用（即过去30天内酒精滥用的频率）、针对伴侣的身体暴力（青少年恋爱关系中遭受、实施和感知到的暴力）以及情绪失调（情绪调节困难量表；DERS）。
观察发现，无论年龄大小，男性的酒精滥用情况显著更高，青少年男性对其伴侣实施的身体暴力也更多。在16岁及以上的男性和14岁及以上的女性中观察到酒精滥用对亲密伴侣身体暴力的直接影响。此外，不同情绪调节策略对身体暴力的直接影响取决于性别。
仅在青少年女性（16 - 17岁）中观察到情绪调节策略在酒精滥用与亲密伴侣身体暴力之间的调节作用。具体而言，诸如无意识、冲动、不接受或缺乏策略等情绪失调变量在过度酒精滥用与针对伴侣的身体暴力之间的关系中起调节作用。在无意识的情况下，与其他三个变量相反，当得分较低或中等时，观察到酒精滥用与暴力之间存在统计学上的显著关系。
