“…For instance, the abuse behaviour inventory scale, was assessed amongst women and men attending a chemical dependency treatment centre, in the USA, and focused on internal validity (Cronbach alphas), factor analysis and criterion and construct validity [15]. Several other VAW measures have had similar analyses conducted, including the Teen Screen for Dating Violence measure [16], and the Conflict Tactics 2 Scale [17,18], the Sexual Experiences Survey [19], all in the USA, and in Australia the Composite Abuse Scale [20].…”

Background: Stability of measures in quantitative social science research is crucial to understand. There is very little evidence on the stability of violence against women and girls measures in the global South. Objective: To assess the test-retest stability of violence against women and girls measures, amongst young (18-30) people in South Africa. Methods: Data were collected from 124 women and 112 men at zero weeks (time 1) and two weeks (time 2), who resided in urban informal settlements in South Africa. Prevalence of each construct was assessed using chi-square contingency tables. Stability of self-report over time was assessed using Cohen's Kappa. Bivariate logistic regression assessed factors associated with changing responses between time 1 and time 2. Results: At group level prevalence of all measures showed no significant differences. Stability of self-report: kappas for past year physical IPV were both k0.20, for ever physical IPV (women k0.58; men k0.50). Sexual IPV in past 12m (women k0.44; men k0.18), and for ever sexual IPV (women k0.56; men k0.46). Kappas for men's perpetration of non-partner sexual violence was k0.29 for past 12m and k0.38 ever. In bivariate regression, completion of secondary education was associated with a reduced odds of changing responses over the time-period for sexual IPV ever women (OR0.16, 0.02-1.04), sexual IPV past 12 months men (OR 0.09, 0.01-0.56), past 12 month non-partner sexual violence men (OR0.19, 0.02-1.41) and lifetime non-partner sexual violence (OR0.23, 0.04-1.19). Being male, compared to being female, was associated with an increased likelihood of changing responses for past 12 month sexual IPV (OR2.10, 1.08-4.09). Conclusions: Prevalence estimates of violence against women measures are stable at group level, but stability of self-reported measures remains a concern. Individual statistical analyses must be treated with caution. Future studies are required to develop further understandings of stability of measures over time.

“…The TSDV is easy to use, practical for clinical and nonclinical settings, and may be implemented across genders and sexual orientations. Emelianchik-Key et al (2018) reported that the initial EFA indicated that the Perception scale of the TSDV yielded a five-factor model; the Experience, Perpetration, and Exposure scales resulted in a four-factor model; and the Support scale produced a three-factor model of scale dimensionality (Emelianchik-Key et al, 2018). The internal consistency of the scale was acceptable, and Cronbach's alpha for the 90-item TSDV was .82.…”

“…With the potential consequences of TDV being detrimental, and the conceptualization, understanding, and treatment of TDV being challenging, it is imperative for clinicians, counselors-in-training (CIT), and researchers to have appropriate assessment tools that allow for accurate assessment of TDV, both from survivor and perpetrator perspectives. The TSDV emerged in response to the need for a more comprehensive assessment tool to screen for three violence facets (physical, emotional, and sexual violence) of TDV (Emelianchik-Key, Hays, & Hill, 2018). The TSDV contains five scales with a total of 89 items, which examine TDV knowledge, experience, perpetration, exposure, and support systems among male and female adolescents.…”

“…The TSDV was developed after an extensive review of the literature and findings from a content analysis of TDV and IPV assessments (Hays & Emelianchik, 2009). Previous research describes (a) the development of the TSDV, (b) reported internal consistency reliability estimates for each scale, (c) established construct and criterion-related validity, (d) exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and (e) Rasch analysis (Emelianchik-Key et al, 2018).…”

There continues to be a lack of fundamental knowledge regarding assessment, conceptualization, and treatment of teen dating violence (TDV). This deficiency of knowledge becomes even greater when examining gender differences in violence experience, perpetration, and perception. This article details the item response theory (IRT) analysis of the Teen Screen for Dating Violence (TSDV) and includes an assessment of differential item functioning (DIF) reported by gender. The TSDV examines adolescents’ perception, experience, perpetration, and exposure to violence, while also exploring support systems. The study participants included males and females between 13 and 21 years of age. Further refinement of the TSDV contributes to a more accurate and comprehensive conceptualization of TDV measurement. The results of this study support the use of the TSDV to assess for TDV in the adolescent population. The DIF analysis reveals that many of the items function differently for males and females, which provides evidence indicating that how TDV is experienced, perceived, and perpetrated differs across gender. The TSDV can assist clinicians in early TDV prevention, intervention, and education for males and females. It can also assist researchers in more accurately estimating perpetration, experience, and conceptualization of the three violence facets (emotional, physical, and sexual) in males and females. To further expand TDV knowledge, we offer recommendations for the use of the TSDV in various settings. The TSDV is a vital tool for clinicians, supervisors, and researchers to implement to mitigate the TDV epidemic and help bridge the gap in mental health services.

“…Seventy college students participated in this study. We gathered demographic information about participants using Part A of the Teen Screen for Dating Violence ([TSDV] Emelianchik- Key et al, 2018). Of those participating, 69 self-identified as cisgender women, and one participant identified as a trans woman.…”

Dating violence (DV) is pervasive on college campuses with far-reaching health implications. We examined 70 sorority members’ lived experiences with DV and explored the role of technology. Experience, perpetration, exposure, support systems, and conceptualization of DV were assessed, and sorority members engaged in small focus groups to examine their lived experiences. Emerging themes included (a) normalization of unhealthy behaviors, (b) technology and the experience of violence, and (c) sources of support and coping. Findings included significant correlations between the experience and perpetration of DV. Results highlight the need for peer intervention and prevention programming and infusing technology in constructive ways.
