“…Consistent with prior research, preliminary descriptive analyses confirmed that females reported higher levels of perpetration of psychological and physical ADA than males, whereas males reported perpetrating more relational ADA than females (Cuccì et al, 2019;Olivari et al, 2017). As for the perception of power imbalance within the relationship, males and females scored similarly in their perceptions and no gender differences emerged.…”

“…Finally, regarding physical ADA, for males, neither perceived power imbalance nor relationship duration was associated with its occurrence. It is possible to hypothesize that this could be due to the fact that in general male physical ADA perpetration is more associated with other types of individual variables as previously suggested in the literature (e.g., lack of emotional control, see Cuccì et al, 2019; attitude toward aggression, see Olivari et al, 2017).…”

“…Existing data mainly come from the United States, with little research coming from samples in Europe, including Italy. However, studies (e.g., Cuccì et al, 2019; Menesini, Nocentini, Ortega‐Rivera, Sanchez, & Ortega, 2011; Muñoz‐Rivas, Graña, O'Leary, & González, 2007; Olivari, Cuccì, & Confalonieri, 2017; Windle & Mrug, 2009) and surveys (Telefono Azzurro & Doxa Kids, 2014; Telefono Azzurro & Eurispes, 2012) carried out in Italy and Europe demonstrated that ADA is an existing and increasing phenomenon. As such, it is important to further investigate it, focusing not only on its occurrence and characteristics, but also on the potential risk factors associated with ADA in the European context.…”

The present study investigates the link between power imbalance within the romantic couple and psychological, relational and physical adolescent dating aggression (ADA) perpetration, considering also the role of relationship duration as an indicator of the developmental stage of the relationship. This is the first investigation into whom is perceived to have power in the relationship (the partner or the subject him/herself) by distinguishing between male and female adolescents. Participants were 805 Italian adolescents (36.1% males; 63.9% females) aged 14-20 years (M age = 17.16 years, SD age = 1.34), all reporting having been in a romantic relationship currently or within the past 6 months. Males perceiving a balanced relationship reported lower levels of psychological ADA perpetration, and they perpetrated more relational ADA in longer relationships where the partner is perceived to have the power. No significant findings emerged regarding physical ADA. Females perceiving themselves as having the power in the relationship reported higher levels of psychological and physical ADA perpetration. They perpetrated more relational ADA when they perceived the partner as having the power in the relationship. Also, females in longer relationships in which power was not perceived as equally shared between partners reported higher physical ADA perpetration. Finally, for both males and females, longer relationships were characterized by higher levels of ADA toward the partner. Findings highlight the importance of studying the interplay between power imbalance and relationship duration on ADA perpetration, and provide the way to understand possible functions of ADA within a romantic relationship.

“…results were expected considering the developmental stage of adolescence in which adolescents mainly refer to the same sex parent (Olivari et al, 2017). Therefore, findings suggest that an authoritarian parenting style, which includes severe discipline as well as physical punishment, may be a risk factor for ADV perpetration within the romantic couple.…”

A conceptual model was tested, separately for male and female adolescents, in which adolescent dating violence (ADV) perpetration toward a romantic partner is affected by the memories of authoritarian paternal and maternal parenting styles through the mediation of adolescents' emotion dysregulation. The sample consisted of 622 Italian adolescents (35.5% males; 64.5% females) aged 13 to 21 years. Participants completed a questionnaire composed of three self-report scales: Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire measuring adolescents' memories of parenting styles; Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory, measuring multiple forms of abusive behavior that may occur between adolescent dating partners; and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Strategies Questionnaire, measuring emotion regulation. For both male and female adolescents, there were significant indirect effects of the memories of both maternal and paternal authoritarian styles on ADV perpetration that were mediated by the adolescents' impulse control difficulties.

“…Studies on dating aggression ( Cuccì, O’Leary, Olivari, Bonanomi, & Confalonieri, 2019 ; González & Santana, 2001 ; Hird, 2000 ; Jackson, Cram, & Seymour, 2000 ; Katz, Carino, & Hilton, 2002 ; Muñoz-Rivas, Graña, O’Leary, & González, 2007a , 2007b ; Olivari, Cuccì, & Confalonieri, 2017 ) have identified several types of aggressive behaviors that may occur in relationships. Psychological aggression (both verbal and emotional abusive behaviors such as name calling, shaming, bullying, embarrassing on purpose) occurs most often, followed by physical aggression (e.g., shoving, hair pulling, slapping, punching), and sexual aggression (e.g., unwanted touching, kissing, sex).…”

The present study represents an effort to expand and deepen the scant literature on Adolescent Dating Aggression (ADA) within the Italian context; adolescent dating aggression is a public health issue of interest due to its increasing frequency among adolescents. The prevalence of verbal-emotional and physical ADA was examined as well as gender and age differences in a sample of Italian adolescents. Participants included 436 adolescents (47.7% males; 52.3% females) living in northern Italy, aged 16 to 18 years (M = 17.11). Participants completed the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory measuring abusive behaviors between adolescent dating partners. Non-parametric analyses were computed. Verbal-emotional ADA perpetration and victimization were much more common than physical ADA perpetration and victimization. Females reported higher levels of verbal-emotional and physical ADA perpetration than males. To fully investigate gender differences single behaviors were analyzed and described. Finally, age differences emerged only for perpetrated verbal-emotional abuse with such aggression being highest at age 18. This research suggests that in order to prevent the onset of dating aggression in teens in northern Italy, prevention programs may need to begin earlier than previously provided in junior high school. Another core conclusion is that physical aggression against partners is a problem for both males and females, thus intervention for the empowerment of interpersonal skills are needed.
