Little is known about how an individual’s commitment to their romantic partner evolves over the course of a relationship following involvement in dating aggression (DA). The present study explored longitudinal associations between both psychological and physical DA involvement and subsequent changes in commitment. We hypothesized that experiences of physical and psychological DA may be related to decreased feelings of commitment (including both dedication and constraint) in a relationship, and that gender may moderate the link between DA and changes in commitment. One-hundred and twenty (60 female) young adults (ages 18–25) in a romantic relationship completed electronic questionnaires each month for 6 months, (M age Wave 1 = 22.44, SD = 2.20). DA involvement and commitment were measured by the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale, and the Revised Commitment Inventory, respectively. Using multilevel modeling, the current study examined shifts in commitment (dedication and constraint) following DA involvement. As hypothesized, physical and psychological dating aggression involvement were both associated with declines in relationship commitment. Analyses also tested for potential gender interactions with physical and psychological dating aggression involvement for both constraint and dedication. No significant gender interactions emerged. These findings add to the accumulating evidence for the deleterious effects of dating aggression on relationships, including on relationship commitment, and illustrate important implications for interventions aimed at reducing dating aggression among young adults.

关于个人对恋爱伴侣的承诺在参与约会侵略（DA）后如何在一段恋爱关系中发展的情况鲜为人知。本研究探讨了心理和身体DA参与与后续承诺变化之间的纵向关联。我们假设身体和心理DA的经历可能与恋爱关系中的承诺感降低（包括奉献和约束）有关，并且性别可以缓解DA与承诺变化之间的联系。一百二十名（60名女性）恋爱关系中的年轻人（18至25岁）每月完成6个月的电子问卷调查，（M年龄波动1 = 22.44，SD = 2.20）。发展议程的参与和承诺分别通过修订后的冲突策略量表和修订后的承诺清单进行衡量。本研究使用多层次建模研究了DA参与后承诺的变化（奉献和约束）。如假设的那样，生理和心理约会侵害都与关系承诺下降有关。分析还测试了潜在的性别互动，以及在约束和奉献方面的生理和心理约会侵略行为。没有出现明显的性别互动。这些发现为约会侵略对人际关系（包括对关系承诺，
