Violent victimization in adolescence spurs risk-taking behaviors (e.g., violent offending and substance use/abuse), undermines mental well-being, disrupts developmental transitions, and even has interpersonal and relational consequences. Adolescent victims initiate earlier and progress faster through sexual and romantic relationships. Because the reasons for the links between victimization and relationship behaviors remain unclear, we explored how violent victimization might shape how adolescents think and feel about intimate/romantic relationships. We focus specifically on interest in forming relationships and expectations about intimate/sexual activity occurring within relationships. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health; n = 10,570 [54% girls; 56% non-Hispanic white; ages 11–18]), we found that adolescent victims of violence were more pessimistic about marriage and more favorable toward sexual activity, with patterns varying by age at victimization and gender. Late adolescent victims were marginally more interested in romantic relationships but were pessimistic about marriage. Early adolescent and girl victims were less favorable toward sexual activity in relationships, while later adolescent and boy victims were more permissive. Violent victimization may foster problematic attitudes toward intimate relationships, which may account for previously observed increased involvement in risky relational and sex behaviors.

暴力受害和青少年对浪漫关系和性活动的态度

青春期的暴力受害会刺激冒险行为(例如,暴力犯罪和物质使用/滥用),破坏心理健康,扰乱发展转型,甚至对人际关系和关系产生影响。青少年受害者通过性关系和恋爱关系开始得更早,进展得更快。由于受害与关系行为之间联系的原因尚不清楚,我们探讨了暴力受害如何影响青少年对亲密/浪漫关系的看法和感受。我们特别关注对建立关系的兴趣以及对关系中发生的亲密/性活动的期望。使用全国青少年到成人健康纵向研究的数据(Add Health;n= 10,570 [54% 女孩;56% 非西班牙裔白人;11-18 岁]),我们发现青少年暴力受害者对婚姻更悲观,对性活动更有利,其模式因受害年龄和性别而异。已故的青春期受害者对浪漫关系稍微更感兴趣,但对婚姻持悲观态度。早期的青少年和女孩受害者不太喜欢人际关系中的性活动,而后来的青少年和男孩受害者则更加宽容。暴力受害可能会助长对亲密关系的问题态度,这可能是之前观察到的对危险关系和性行为的参与增加的原因。
