Can Dating Violence Predict Feelings of Hatred Toward a Partner?

Dating violence can occur in unhealthy dating relationships. This study aims to determine when someone experiences dating violence and its impact on their feelings of hatred. The research method used is quantitative, with research subjects aged 20–30 years who have or are currently having dating experiences of violence in their relationship. The number of subjects in this study was 533, obtained by random sampling. The instruments used in this study were Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI) and the triangular hate scale. The results obtained through simple and multiple linear regression tests showed that there was a significantly positive effect of dating violence on hatred. Of the total five aspects of dating violence, verbal and emotional violence were the highest compared to the other four aspects. This means that the hatred felt by individuals toward their partner can be caused by violence that has occurred, especially verbal and emotional violence.

The Relationship Behavior Survey: A Comprehensive Measure of Psychological Intimate Partner Violence for Adolescents.

Commonly used scales of psychological intimate partner violence (ψIPV) for adolescents may not include sufficient items to measure adequately different forms of ψ aggressive behaviors. They may also characterize as harmful ψ aggressive behaviors occurring in non-conflictual or joking contexts. The current study examined a new scale, the Relationship Behavior Survey (RBS), which was designed to measure three different forms of ψIPV (denigrating, controlling, and intrusive behaviors) and the appraisals of the perpetrator's intent. Factor structure was examined, and incremental validity was tested by examining the relation of the RBS to general aggressive tendencies and physical IPV after accounting for the emotional abuse and threatening behavior subscales of the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI). Criterion validity and gender differences were also examined. Data were collected using an online survey from a national sample of 1,100 13 to 17-year-olds in the United States (51% identified as female, 80% as White) in a dating relationship. Confirmatory factor analysis supported one ψIPV construct for males and females. The RBS demonstrated incremental validity; criterion validity was supported for controlling intent for males and females and mistrust intent for females. Joking intent was the most reported intent for males and correlated unexpectedly with physical IPV. The RBS captures a larger range of ψIPV behaviors than the CADRI. The addition of intent appraisals provides important information to differentiate forms of ψIPV, particularly in relation to acts motivated by coercion and mistrust.

Structural validity of the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI): A reduced version for use on respondents as victims and perpetrators

ObjectivesTo evaluate CADRI's configural and metric structures and explore its performance from the perspective of the respondents as perpetrators and victims. In the process, we present shorter versions for both roles. MethodsThe sample consisted of 561 adolescents aged 15 and 19, enrolled in public and private schools in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Initially, confirmatory factor analyzes (CFA) tested the originally proposed dimensional structure. Since this model was rejected, the second step analyzed the data via Exploratory Structural Equation Models (ESEM) to reassess the instrument's structure. Applying a decision algorithm on a new dimensional structure, we proceeded to reduce the number of items to establish separate sets for victimization and perpetration. These final models were then analyzed via CFA to assess their psychometric properties. ResultsThe final solutions contained 15 items comprising four and three factors for victimization and perpetration, respectively. Thirteen items were common to both models, but two were unique to their respective sets. Regardless of their small differences, the final solutions fitted adequately, held factorial item pertinence and unambiguity, contained reliable and non-redundant items, and sustained factor-based convergent and discriminant validities. ConclusionThe four and three-factor models were within the dimensional bounds proposed in the original CADRI, the shorter scales still succeeding in partially capturing what was envisaged in the first version of the instrument. However, the shorter versions suggested here are still tentative, thus requiring further examination.

Dating and Dating Violence: Social Representations of School Adolescents

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the Social Representations of adolescents on dating and dating violence from their social anchors. This is a quantitative-qualitative, descriptive-exploratory study, involving 215 adolescents from public schools located in the city of João Pessoa - Paraíba, aged between 14 and 18 (M=16.16; SD=1.26), predominantly female (60.5%). Participants answered the Free Word Association Technique (FWAT); the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationship Inventory (CADRI); and, a sociodemographic questionnaire. Data from the CADRI and sociodemographic characterization were submitted to descriptive analysis, while those from the FWAT to the Correspondence Factor Analysis. Results anchored social objects in the affective, behavioral, psycho-affective, psycho-organic and valorative spheres. Dating was objectified as complicity, fidelity, respect, love, commitment, deception, betrayal, kiss, and fight. While dating violence was objectified as jealousy, disrespect, sadness, quarrel, cowardice, rape, wrong, hate, death and verbal.

The Psychometric Properties of the Measure of Adolescent Relationship Harassment and Abuse (MARSHA) With a Nationally Representative Sample of U.S. Youth.

This article describes a new instrument that assesses adolescent dating abuse (ADA) victimization and perpetration. The Measure of Adolescent Relationship Harassment and Abuse (MARSHA) is a comprehensive instrument that includes items on physical, sexual, and psychological ADA, as well as cyber dating abuse, social control, and invasion of privacy. Data for this study came from a population-based, nationally representative sample of adolescents ages 11 to 21 years old (N = 1,257). Exploratory factor analysis was conducted for the victimization and perpetration versions of the MARSHA, and convergent and divergent validity were assessed using the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI) and the juvenile victimization questionnaire (JVQ), respectively. Results suggest that the MARSHA has good reliability and validity, and that each subscale had good internal consistency. The authors propose that the MARSHA may be a strong alternative to the CADRI or the conflict tactics scale (CTS) because it reflects contemporary forms of abuse, such as online harassment and pressure to send nude selfies, and the nonconsensual dissemination of sexually explicit images.

Sexual dating violence victimization and adolescent psychological distress in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Abstract Background Studies from high income countries showed physical and psychological dating violence associated with poor mental health (MH) outcomes, including depressive symptoms and suicide attempts. However, sexual dating violence (SDV) has received less attention, especially in low middle-income countries like Brazil. This study investigated the prevalence and the effect of SDV victimization on MH in adolescent students from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Methods This is a school-based study comprising 550 students enrolled in 13 high schools. Only adolescents reporting at least one romantic relationship in the prior twelve months were eligible. SDV and MH were measured using the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), respectively. Frequency of SDV was assessed in the aggregate and by specific sociodemographic subgroups. Multivariate logistic models were employed to study the relationship between SDV victimization and MH status. Direct Acyclic Graphs steared the covariates selection process: skin color, maternal education, history of child sexual abuse, and sex. Results The prevalence of SDV victimization experienced over the last 12 months was 16.5%. SDV victimization was a significant risk factor for MH problems (OR = 2.04; 95%CI: 1.01 - 4.15). Conclusions The high prevalence of SDV among students in the sample was striking. Its relationship with psychological suffering highlights the importance of involving schools and health services in actions aimed at reducing all forms of SDV and at mitigating its consequences. The findings also indicate that mental health professionals should regurlarly investigate SDV victimization among adolescents reporting MH symptoms. Key messages Rio de Janeiro schools and health services need to join efforts to develop and implement actions aimed at the prevention of sexual dating violence. Health professionals might investigate if adolescents with psychological distress are also victims of sexual dating violence.

Orientasi Dominasi Sosial dengan Kekerasan dalam Pacaran pada Remaja

Abstract. This study aims to know the relationship between social dominance orientation with dating violence in adolescents. The hypothesis is that there is a positive relationship between social dominance orientation with dating violence in adolescents.

Patterns of Perpetration and Perceptions of Teen Dating Violence

Abstract This study investigated patterns of perpetration and perceptions of teen dating violence (TDV) in a sample of 428 adolescents characterized as perpetrators (62.4% female, M=16.73 years of age, SD=1.20) from the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil. There was also a comparison group of 132 non-perpetrators (51.5% female, M=16.54 years of age, SD=1.19). The research instruments were a sociodemographic questionnaire, 15 items about the perception of TDV and the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI). We found a rate of 76.43% for the perpetration of some type of TDV and the most frequent was verbal/emotional violence (91.1%). The data showed that adolescents (perpetrators and non-perpetrators) have difficulty recognizing abusive behaviors, legitimizing the use of violence in their romantic relationships. Considering dating violence is a predictor of adult marital violence, the need to raise awareness of the phenomenon and the possibility of preventing TDV is discussed in this study.

A VIOLÊNCIA NAS RELAÇÕES AFETIVAS DE ADOLESCENTES: UMA REVISÃO SISTEMÁTICA

O presente estudo se trata de uma revisão sistemática com objetivo de identificar as causas, as formas e o agressor da violência nas relações afetivas entre adolescentes. O levantamento foi realizado no banco de dados SciELO, utilizando publicações realizadas entre 2013 e setembro de 2017. Instituídos os critérios de inclusão: (a) artigo empírico; (b) com utilização de instrumentos para coleta de dados; (c) que assinalem as causas, as formas e o agressor, oito estudos foram analisados na íntegra. Os resultados apontam que a violência nos namoros entre adolescentes sofre incontestável influência de vivências agressivas prévias, normalmente, ligadas a pais, irmãos, amigos e relacionamentos anteriores. Nos artigos analisados, não há concordância absoluta acerca de prevalência de gênero do agressor, contudo os autores entendem que a violência reflete um padrão de continuidade do comportamento agressivo e, em diversas ocasiões, relacionada à violência psicológica. Portanto, para eliminar a prática da violência e sua reprodução, determinados padrões de comportamento instituídos em nossa sociedade deverão ser objetos de questionamento e constante reflexão.

Childhood Trauma, Trait Anxiety, and Anxious Attachment as Predictors of Intimate Partner Violence in College Students.

The current study investigates the relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV), childhood trauma, trait anxiety, depression, and anxious attachment in college students. Ninety-three male and 161 female undergraduate students at Fairfield University, ranging in age from 17 to 23, with a mean age of 18.8 years, participated. Participants completed five self-report inventories: The Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI), the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Adult Attachment Scale (AAS). IPV perpetration in college dating relationships was related to childhood emotional and physical abuse, emotional and physical neglect, and trait anxiety. IPV victimization in college dating relationships was related to childhood emotional and physical abuse, childhood emotional and physical neglect, and an anxious attachment style. IPV perpetration and victimization were also significantly correlated with one another. Subscale analyses suggest that childhood emotional abuse was related to being both the perpetrator and victim of verbal or emotional abuse in dating relationships. Childhood physical abuse, physical neglect, and emotional abuse were related to both perpetration and victimization of physical IPV. Threatening behavior perpetration in dating relationships was related to childhood emotional abuse, emotional neglect, physical abuse, and physical neglect; however, being the victim of threatening behavior was only related to childhood emotional abuse, physical neglect, and emotional neglect, not childhood physical abuse. These results support the relationship between childhood trauma and dating violence in college students. They also support a role for anxiety in IPV, although trait anxiety was related to perpetration and an anxious attachment style was correlated with IPV victimization. In addition, they suggest that different experiences of childhood trauma may relate to different aspects of IPV in college dating relationships.

Concordant responding on the physical assault/abuse subscales of the Revised Conflict Tactics Scales 2 and Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory.

[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported in Vol 6(2) of Psychology of Violence (see record 2015-24232-001). In the article, in Table 1, the total for females in the Yes category for CADRI self-reported physical DV-P percentage of total (n) should be 34.8 (112), not 32.5 (122) as reported.] Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate concordance of the physical abuse/assault subscales of 2 commonly used measures of dating violence: the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI) and Revised Conflict Tactics Scales-2 (CTS2). METHOD:Undergraduates (N = 505) at a northeastern university, who were either currently dating or had dated someone in the past 6 months, completed the CADRI and CTS2 as part of a study on dating experiences. RESULTS: While both measures yielded similar estimates of physical dating violence, approximately 1 half of participants endorsed physically aggressive acts on both measures: 46.7% for perpetration and 50% for victimization. Males were more likely to endorse items on the CTS2 than on the CADRI and there were gender differences in the topography of aggression. Across gender, concordance was associated with higher mode and frequency scores for physical dating violence, as well as more psychological aggression, arguments, and injury. CONCLUSION: The physical aggression subscales of the CTS2 and CADRI are not interchangeable. Each identified a heterogeneous group of young adults who reported physical dating violence. The subset they shared in common reflected individuals who experienced more frequent and varied dating violence. ©2016 American Psychological Association Language: en

Do Gender and Exposure to Interparental Violence Moderate the Stability of Teen Dating Violence?: Latent Transition Analysis.

This study investigates the development, change, and stability of teen dating violence (TDV) victimization over time. Specifically, we identify distinct subgroups of adolescents based on past-year TDV victimization, whether adolescents change victimization statuses over time (e.g., from psychological victimization to physical victimization), and how exposure to interparental violence and gender influence the prevalence and stability of TDV statuses. Adolescents (N=1,042) from 7 public high schools in Texas participated in this longitudinal study. The Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI) (Wolfe et al., Psychological Assessment, 13(2), 277-293, 2001) was used to identify victimization statuses. Latent Transition Analysis (LTA) with measurement invariance was used to examine transition probability of an individual's latent status at Wave3 or Wave4 given his or her latent status at Wave2 or Wave3. Gender and exposure to interparental violence was included as moderators in the LTA. Three statuses of TDV victimization were identified: (1) non-victims; (2) emotional/verbal victims; and (3) physical/psychological victims. LTA showed that the majority of adolescents stayed in the same status over time; however, female youth exposed to interparental violence were more likely to move from a less to more severe status over time compared to non-exposed youth. This is among the first study to identify subgroups of TDV victimization and to examine the stability of group membership over time. Female youth exposed to interparental violence were more likely to remain in or move into a violent relationship compared to unexposed youth.

Forms of Violence in the Affective-Sexual Relationships of Adolescents

Violence in the affective-sexual relationships of adolescents is a theme that has been highlighted by the literature as a result of its high rates of prevalence. It has different characteristics, while many factors are shown to be associated with its occurrence. The present study investigated the affective-sexual relationships of adolescents, focusing on the experiences as perpetrators and victims of different types of violence between partners. We conducted a quantitative study with a descriptive, comparative and correlational design, with 124 heterosexual adolescents, aged 15 to 18 years (M = 15.94, SD = 0.65). As measurement instruments we used a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Family Background Questionnaire (FBQ), and the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI). The results showed percentages of violence that ranged from 14.7% for relational abuse committed to 97% for verbal/emotional violence suffered. We identified significant gender differences in the dimensions of threatening behavior (t = -3.172, p = 0.002) and physical violence (t = -3.037, p = 0.003) perpetrated by the participant, indicating that it is the girls who report that they practice this type of violence more often. No significant correlation was observed between experiences of violence in the family of origin and in the relationship with the partner (p > 0.05). However, there was an association between the occurrence of violence in the relationships of the adolescents and the presence of violence in the affective-sexual relationships of friends (p < 0.05). We highlight the importance of expanding the field of theory regarding this phenomenon, in order to assist with future interventions.

Measuring adolescent dating violence: Development of Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI) Short Form

Development and validation of the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory.

Four studies examined the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI), a measure of abusive behavior among adolescent dating partners. Exploratory factor analysis was used to refine items based on high school participants with dating experience (N = 393; 49% female). Confirmatory factor analysis was used to derive and cross-validate the factor structure with participants from 10 high schools (N = 1,019, 55% female; ages 14-16). The model structure fit for all grades and both sexes, with physical abuse, verbal abuse, and threatening behavior most representative of the underlying "abuse" factor. In Studies 3 and 4, the second-order abuse factor showed acceptable test-retest reliability, partner agreement, and correlation (significant for males only) between observer ratings of dating partners' interactions and youths' CADRI scores. Results support the CADRI as a measure of abusive behavior in adolescent dating relationships.
