In addition to identifying risk and protective factors related to teen-dating violence and positive relationship outcomes within a single relationship and across multiple relationships, this study also explored how early abusive relationships impact trajectories into later abusive relationships, as well as how age gaps between romantic partners might contribute to victimization and other negative outcomes.
Abstract
This research seeks to address gaps in current research by focusing on romantic relationship experiences among at-risk adolescents. The authors investigated risk and protective factors related to teen dating violence and positive relationship outcomes within a single relationship and across multiple relationships. The study also explores how early abusive relationships impact trajectories into later abusive relationships, and how age gaps between romantic partners might contribute to victimization and other negative outcomes.
