The purpose of this study was to identify patterns of teen dating victimization among boys and girls and examine their association with family and peer contextual risk factors and injuries and mental health indicators. As part of the population-based Youths’ Romantic Relationships Project, 8 230 high school students were questioned about their victimization experiences. Latent class analysis was used to identify classes for both girls and boys. Latent class analysis identified a best fitting model of three classes for girls: Low victimization (61% of girls), Sexual and psychological violence (27%) and Multiple victimization (12%). Similarly for boys, three classes were identified including a Low victimization (84% of boys), a Multiple victimization (9%) and an Unwanted sexual contacts and psychological violence (7%). Associations between class membership and family and peer contextual risk factors and mental health indicators revealed more distinctive features among classes for girls than for boys. Confirming our hypothesis, both genders in the Multiple violence class reported experiencing the most injuries (e.g., bruise or cut, pain the next day or need of a medical appointment). A history of childhood interpersonal traumas was significantly related to classes of dating victimization, suggesting that different forms of child abuse (neglect, exposure to interparental violence, physical or sexual abuse) are associated with a heightened risk of revictimization in the context of their first romantic relationships. Our findings suggest that child sexual abuse may act as a specific vulnerability factor for more pervasive forms of TDV for girls. The findings highlight the utility of a personoriented approach to enhance our understanding of the diversity of victimization experiences in the context of teen romantic relationships. Results also underscore the importance of tailoring prevention efforts to efficiently tackle teen dating violence and the relevance of trauma-informed practices.

关于约会受害情况的三步性别潜在类别分析。

这项研究的目的是确定男孩和女孩中青少年约会受害的模式，并检查其与家庭和同伴情境危险因素，伤害和心理健康指标的关系。作为以人口为基础的“青少年浪漫关系计划”的一部分，对8 230名高中学生的受害经历进行了询问。潜在类别分析用于识别男孩和女孩的类别。潜在类别分析确定了针对女孩的三个类别的最佳拟合模型：低受害率（占女孩的61％），性暴力和心理暴力（占27％）和多重受害（占12％）。同样对于男孩，确定了三个类别，包括低受害率（占男孩的84％），多受害率（占9％）以及有害的性接触和心理暴力（占7％）。班级成员资格与家庭，同伴情境危险因素和心理健康指标之间的联系表明，班级中女生的特征比男生更明显。证实我们的假设的是，“多重暴力”课程中的男女都遭受了最多的伤害（例如青肿或割伤，第二天感到疼痛或需要就医）。童年时期人际关系创伤的历史与约会受害类别密切相关，表明不同形式的虐待儿童（疏忽，遭受父母间暴力，身体或性虐待）与他们初次恋爱中重新获得报复的风险增加有关关系。我们的研究结果表明，性侵害儿童可能是导致女孩更广泛形式的TDV的特定易感性因素。这些发现强调了以人为本的方法在增进我们对青少年恋爱关系中受害经历多样性的理解方面的效用。结果还强调了采取预防措施以有效应对青少年约会暴力的重要性以及与创伤知情行为有关的重要性。
