“…Lastly, the participants’ baseline levels for dating intimacy were very high, meaning that score variability was too low to be sensitive to change following intervention. This result is in line with previous cross-cultural studies and may reflect a cultural feature of Spanish adolescent couples, since Spanish adolescents presented higher levels of positive quality compared with their Italian [ 4 ] and British peers [ 23 ]. To include different indicators of positive dating quality, such as relational satisfaction, would have offered a more comprehensive and perhaps sensitive picture of positive couple quality.…”

“…When we talk about violence in adolescent romantic relationships, we are referring to aggressive behavior, be it verbal, psychological, physical, sexual, or via new technologies, which occurs in relationships that are more or less stable or lasting, current or past [ 2 ]. Dating violence is characterized for being primarily contextual, linked to conflicts within the couple [ 3 ], and reciprocal [ 4 ], with prevalence rates that reach 20% for physical violence, 9% for sexual violence [ 5 ], and far higher involvement rates for psychological violence ranging from 20% to 80% [ 6 , 7 ]. In terms of online violence, and despite being an emerging study phenomenon, data indicate that it occurs between 5% and 56% of cases, depending on the severity of the behavior under analysis [ 8 ].…”

“…It comprises seven 1-hour long sessions that can be implemented during school hours. The characteristics that define the program are as follows: a) it addresses traditional and online forms of violence to help boys and girls become aware of the different expressions of violence that dating couples may experience; b) it takes into account that dating violence is mainly mutual or reciprocal [ 4 , 37 ]; c) it involves intervention-oriented activities that examine the associated risk factors [ 36 ], emphasizing the important role that beliefs, attitudes and conflict resolution strategies play in the couple’s relational dynamic; d) following the recommendations of previous meta-analyses [ 14 , 15 ], and the positive outcomes being achieved by these programs in preventing dating violence [ 38 ] and bullying [ 39 ], the role of peers was emphasized in this program. Specifically, it incorporated a peer model component, meaning that classmates themselves are tasked with leading some of the sessions; e) it combines classroom and web-based activities, the latter via the program’s online platform; f) it welcomes a final activity organized by the participating schools covering the main content and lessons learned following intervention; and g) it adopts a constructivist and experiential approach that encourages content learning through different teaching and learning experiences.…”

Efficacy evaluation of "Dat-e Adolescence": A dating violence prevention program in Spain

2018

This study presents the first evaluation of Dat-e Adolescence, a dating violence prevention program aimed at adolescents in Spain. A cluster randomized control trial was used involving two groups (a control group and experimental group) and two waves (pre-test and post-test six months apart). 1,764 students from across seven state high schools in Andalucía (southern Spain) participated in the study (856 in the control group and 908 in the experimental group); 52.3% were boys (n = 918), with ages ranging from 11 to 19 years (average age = 14.73; SD = 1.34). Efficacy evaluation was analyzed using Latent Change Score Models and showed that the program did not impact on physical, psychological or online aggression and victimization, nor did it modify couple quality. It was, however, effective at modifying myths about romantic love, improving self-esteem, and improving anger regulation, as a trend. These initial results are promising and represent one of the first prevention programs evaluated in this country. Future follow-up will allow us to verify whether these results remain stable in the medium term.

“…Imbalance of Power was measured by means of and adapted version of Extreme Peer Orientation Questionnaire (EPO; Fuligni & Eccles, 1993). This scale analyzes the presence of bossy attitudes and behaviors of one member of the couple, being considered a measure of negative couple quality (Menesini, Nocentini, Ortega-Rivera, Sánchez, & Ortega-Ruiz, 2011). Therefore, it would be expected positive correlations among OI, ECS and Commitment, and negative ones between CP and Commitment.…”

“…Desde este punto de vista, algunas investigaciones han comenzado a señalar como más apropiado en estas parejas hablar de implicación en comportamientos agresivos más que de roles estáticos de víctima y agresor (Nocentini, Menesini & Pastorelli, 2010). En este sentido, apuntan que gran parte de las agresiones que se producen en parejas jóvenes parten de una dinámica donde las personas implicadas son perpetradores y víctimas con frecuencia y severidad similar (Capaldi, Shortt, & Kim, 2005;Menesini, Nocentini, Ortega-Rivera, Sánchez & Ortega, 2011).…”

RESUMEN:En el presente artículo se presentan los resultados, de carácter descriptivo, del estudio sobre la prevalencia y tipología de conductas violentas en parejas jóvenes. Se recogen datos de 740 alumnos y alumnas de 3º y 4º de E.S.O. y 1º y 2º de bachiller de nueve centros públicos de Asturias. El 43,8% de los participantes son chicos y el 56,1% son chicas. El 80,7% de las chicas y el 80,9% de los chicos ha tenido alguna pareja, bien en el pasado o actualmente. Para la recogida de información se ha elaborado un cuestionario compuesto por 62 ítems que reflejan conductas concretas, representando éstas las distintas tipologías de violencia física, psicológica y sexual a través de una escala que indica la frecuencia de cada una de ellas. El porcentaje de chicas que declaran haber ejercido algún tipo de violencia sobre sus parejas fue superior al de chicos en el caso de violencia física (37,4% y 17,9%) y psicológica (87,2% y 71,9%), pero no en el caso de violencia sexual (7,8% y 11,5%). En cuanto a victimización, las chicas declaran haber sufrido mayor violencia por parte de sus parejas en los tres tipos de agresión incluida en el estudio: violencia física (29,9% y 25,9%), violencia psicológica (86,9% y 81,0%) y violencia sexual (13,5% y 9,9%). Un alto porcentaje de los chicos y chicas que declaran haber ejercido algún tipo de violencia física dice que ésta se produjo como una broma o juego (76,6% y 66,0%), seguido de situaciones de discusiones (13,7% y 10,6%) y celos (2,1% y 15,3). Los motivos que declaran en las situaciones de victimización, tanto chicos como chicas son los mismos que en caso de agresión: broma o juego (69,1% y 75,0), celos (14,7% y 17,0%) y en medio de una discusión (11,8% y 17,0%). ABSTRACT: This article shows the results of the descriptive study about prevalence and type of violent behaviour in young couples. Data have been collected from 740 students in secondary education in 9 public schools in Asturias. 43.8% of the participants were males and 55.9% were females. Of these, 80.7 % of females and 80.9 % of males have had a boyfriend or girlfriend, either in the past or currently. For the collection of information a questionnaire has been developed. It includes 62 items which reflect specific actions, representing different types of physical, psychological and sexual violence by means of a scale which indicates the frequency of these. The percentage of girls who admit having committed some kind of violence is higher in the case of boys if we consider physical violence (37.4% and 17.9%) or psychological violence (87.2% and 71.9%) but not in sexual violence (7.8% and 11.5%). On the other hand, the number of female victims who have suffered violence by their partners is higher in the three aspects included in the study: physical violence (29.9% and 25.9%), psychological (86.9% and 81.0%) and sexual (13.5% and 9.9%) violence. A high percentage of males and females who admitted having committed some kind of physical violence said that this occurred as a joke or game (76.6% and 66.0%), followed on ...
