Article Synopsis
- Exposure to violence in childhood and adolescence can lead to increased risks of intimate partner violence in adulthood, but studies show only a weak relationship between these factors.
- This study reviewed 16 previous studies to analyze how they measured early violence exposure and its link to young adult dating violence, ultimately finding significant issues in methodology.
- The authors conclude that varied and simplistic methodologies hinder our understanding of violence transmission across generations, and future research should aim for better consistency and depth in its approach.
Relationship education (RE) targets common correlates of adolescent dating violence (ADV), such as gender role beliefs (GRB) and DV acceptance (DVA), yet few studies have evaluated the influence of RE on GRB and DVA and none have considered participants' sociodemographic characteristics. Using a sample of adolescents from the United States (Mage = 15.66 years; 58% female), this study examined pre- and post-test GRB and DVA scores of RE participants (n = 1645) compared to nonparticipants (n = 522) and explored the differential and combined effects of participants' sociodemographic characteristics on change.
