Dating violence is a public health problem affecting people worldwide. This study evaluated the occurrence of different types of adolescent dating violence using a mixed analysis of each data source. The present study addresses the following research questions: does the occurrence of the types of violence analyzed in the quantitative phase match with the narratives obtained in the qualitative phase? and does the additional information obtained in the qualitative phase improve the understanding of the analyzed phenomenon?

In the quantitative phase, 410 participants (aged 13 to 19 years) answered a questionnaire based on the Modified Conflict Tactics Scale, while in the qualitative phase, 26 participated in two focus groups. Data were collected from May to June 2019. Written informed consent was obtained from the parents or legal guardians of those who had agreed to participate. The present research was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador. The results were divided on: prevalence of dating violence based on age groups and gender, management and resolution of dating conflicts, victimization and perpetration of intimate partner violence, factors favoring intimate partner violence and acceptance of abuse. The results were analyzed via triangulation and indicated that adolescents were involved in the perpetration and victimization of psychological as well as mild and severe physical violence. An analysis of the contributing factors revealed a strong tendency toward the acceptance of the traditional gender model. Challenging these models is crucial to deconstruct hierarchical models, develop conflict resolution skills, and promptly identify abusive behaviors that affect emotional development. The combination of different methodological approaches improved the understanding of the phenomenon studied.

约会暴力是影响全世界人民的公共卫生问题。本研究使用对每个数据源的混合分析评估了不同类型的青少年约会暴力的发生。本研究解决了以下研究问题：定量阶段分析的暴力类型的发生是否与定性阶段获得的叙述相匹配？在定性阶段获得的附加信息是否提高了对分析现象的理解？

在定量阶段，410 名参与者（13 至 19 岁）回答了基于修正冲突战术量表的问卷，而在定性阶段，26 名参与者参加了两个焦点小组。数据收集时间为 2019 年 5 月至 2019 年 6 月。已从同意参与的人的父母或法定监护人处获得书面知情同意书。本研究得到厄瓜多尔天主教大学人类研究伦理委员会的批准。结果分为：基于年龄组和性别的约会暴力流行率、约会冲突的管理和解决、亲密伴侣暴力的受害和实施、有利于亲密伴侣暴力的因素和接受虐待。结果通过三角测量法进行分析，表明青少年参与了心理以及轻度和重度身体暴力的实施和受害。对促成因素的分析揭示了接受传统性别模型的强烈趋势。挑战这些模型对于解构分层模型、培养解决冲突的技能以及及时识别影响情绪发展的虐待行为至关重要。不同方法学方法的结合提高了对所研究现象的理解。挑战这些模型对于解构分层模型、培养解决冲突的技能以及及时识别影响情绪发展的虐待行为至关重要。不同方法学方法的结合提高了对所研究现象的理解。挑战这些模型对于解构分层模型、培养解决冲突的技能以及及时识别影响情绪发展的虐待行为至关重要。不同方法学方法的结合提高了对所研究现象的理解。
