“…For example, Latinos are said to hold more traditional attitudes about women, relationships and commitment, and Mexicans may have more rigid expectations about gender roles than North American or European populations. Although this kind of believes are changing and may vary across urban and rural groups, the powerful subjective influence of these believes over dating violence measure most be recognized (Hokoda et al, 2006; Shaffer et al, 2018).…”

Several scales are used in Dating Violence studies assuming cross-cultural invariance and equivalence of the measures without making the proper validation in the intended populations. This study focuses on the importance of adapting existing dating violence psychological instruments (as the widely recognized Modified Version of the Conflict Tactics Scale, M-CTS) in diverse adolescent populations adjusting to international validation procedures that ensure the cultural fit of the instrument and the measurement invariance of the construct. We sought to adapt the M-CTS in Mexican adolescents ( N = 1861; 57.5% woman) following the ITC Guidelines for Translating and Adapting Test. We made an analysis of the linguistic and cultural variables, followed by a Confirmatory Factor Analysis, and the evaluation of Construct and Known Groups Validities. We culturally modified six items and verified the four-factorial structure of the questionnaire proposed in previous studies (argumentation, psychological aggression, mild physical aggression, and sever physical aggression). We also found significant correlations in between the scores of the M-CTS and the Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) and the Dominating and Jealous Tactics Scale (DJTS), verifying the Construct Validity of the M-CTS to measure aggressive behaviors. Conclusion: the cultural adaptation of the M-CTS offered adequate reliability and validity scores in Mexican population expanding the possibilities of comparing prevalences of the problem between nations with a reliable instrument based on the same theoretical and methodological perspectives.

“…The participants also attributed accountability on the adolescents’ mothers for the VPI situation suffered. It must be taken into account that, by attributing responsibility for violence to the mother, the gender yoke on these women is revealed, from whom one expects dedication to raising children, even if she is the head of the family and has other obligations and responsibilities related to their subsistence ( 23 ) .…”

Objective: to identify and analyze the perceptions and practices of health professionals and of the third sector regarding adolescence and violence between intimate adolescent partners. Method: an exploratory and descriptive study. Data was collected in two sessions of a Critical-Emancipatory Work Workshop carried out with 55 professionals who work in Primary Health Care services and services related to the third sector. Data was submitted to content analysis with the support of the WebQDA software. The categories of analysis used were gender and generation. Results: the perceptions and practices in the face of violence between intimate adolescent partners are based on common sense and subjugate female adolescents in particular. In the health services, violence is perceived during consultations for other demands, under the biomedical paradigm. Third sector professionals understand the confrontation of violence as a responsibility of the health area. Conclusion: negative and stereotyped conceptions of violence between intimate adolescent partners are marked by gender and generation biases. The study highlights the need to promote networking actions in the professional practices that consider the historical and social understanding of adolescence to cope with the problem.

“…This is problematic as parents may be less inclined or ill-equipped to initiate or enforce preventive measure to limit adolescent engagement in these behaviors without accurate knowledge. Teens also report less desire to talk with their parents about sensitive topics when parents have little knowledge about what is normative for peers their age (Shaffer et al, 2018). Limited parental knowledge about adolescent behavior has also been linked with negative outcomes Lippold, Coffman, et al, 2014;Racz & McMahon, 2011).…”

“…The parent-child relationship and parent-child communication is also linked to adolescent dating. In prior studies, teenagers have reported wanted more opportunities to talk with parents about their dating relationships, but had worries that their parents were not open to such discussions or to the idea of teen dating (Shaffer et al, 2018). Likewise, teens report being more likely to talk about dating concerns with their parent if they have a history of a close, trusting relationship with their parent, as well as prior open communication (Shaffer et al, 2018).…”
