Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major global health concern and is particularly high among adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa. We collected weekly surveys for one year from 421 South African adolescent boys and conducted interviews with 48 participants. Quantitative analyses revealed that daily fluctuations in negative emotions were associated with higher odds of IPV perpetration, but binge drinking was not. Qualitative analyses highlighted anger, perceived infidelity, and emotional (dys)regulation as drivers of perpetration. South African adolescent boys exhibit unique risk factors for IPV compared to adult samples. Interventions for adolescents should incorporate emotional regulation and conflict management strategies.
亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)是一个重大的全球健康问题,在撒哈拉以南非洲的青少年中尤为高发。我们对421名南非青少年男性进行了为期一年的每周调查,并对48名参与者进行了访谈。定量分析显示,负面情绪的每日波动与实施亲密伴侣暴力的较高几率相关,但暴饮并不相关。定性分析强调愤怒、感知到的不忠以及情绪(失调)调节是实施暴力的驱动因素。与成人样本相比,南非青少年男性表现出亲密伴侣暴力的独特风险因素。针对青少年的干预措施应纳入情绪调节和冲突管理策略。
