Compared to Western literature, little is known about teen dating violence perpetration (DVP) in Turkey. One risk factor of physical teen DVP may lie within teens' witnessing interparental physical violence perpetration and subsequent accepting attitudes toward physical partner violence as a risk factor. Informed by the intergenerational transmission (IGT) of violence theory, we investigated attitudes toward physical partner violence as a likely mechanism that might account for the association between witnessing interparental physical violence perpetration and physical teen DVP. In a sample of 242 Turkish teens, the prevalence of teen DVP was 32.0% for females and 28.4% for males, with no significant gender difference. The results of the moderated mediation analyses confirmed the hypothesized model for men only. IGT of violence theory offers good guidance in understanding the etiology of physical teen DVP. For prevention practices, accepting attitudes toward physical partner violence seems a hurdle that needs to be breached.

周围发生的事情：土耳其青少年身体青少年约会暴力行为的循环

与西方文学相比，土耳其的青少年约会暴力犯罪（DVP）知之甚少。青少年身体暴力行为的一个风险因素可能在于青少年目睹父母间的身体暴力行为以及随后接受对身体伴侣暴力的态度作为风险因素。根据暴力理论的代际传递 (IGT)，我们调查了对身体伴侣暴力的态度，作为一种可能的机制，它可能解释了目睹父母间身体暴力行为与身体青少年 DVP 之间的关联。在 242 名土耳其青少年的样本中，青少年 DVP 的女性患病率为 32.0%，男性为 28.4%，没有显着的性别差异。调节中介分析的结果证实了仅针对男性的假设模型。暴力理论的 IGT 为理解青少年身体 DVP 的病因提供了很好的指导。对于预防实践，接受对身体伴侣暴力的态度似乎是一个需要克服的障碍。
