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 (Mage  = 17.16 years, SDage  = 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.

本研究调查了浪漫夫妻内部权力失衡与心理,关系和身体青少年约会攻击 (ADA) 行为之间的联系,并考虑了关系持续时间作为关系发展阶段的指标的作用。这是第一次通过区分男性和女性青少年来调查谁被认为在关系中拥有权力 (伴侣或对象他/她自己)。参与者为805名意大利青少年 (36.1% 名男性; 63.9% 名女性),年龄在14-20岁之间 (Mage   =   17.16岁,SDage   =   1.34),所有这些人目前或过去6个月内都有恋爱关系。感知平衡关系的男性报告了较低的心理ADA实施水平,并且在伴侣被认为具有力量的较长关系中,他们实施了更多的关系ADA。没有关于身体ADA的重要发现。女性认为自己在关系中具有力量,因此报告了更高的心理和身体ADA行为。当他们认为伴侣在关系中拥有权力时,他们实施了更多的关系ADA。此外,处于较长关系中的女性在伴侣之间没有被视为平等分享权力的情况下,她们报告了更高的身体ADA行为。最后,对于男性和女性,更长的关系的特征是对伴侣的ADA水平更高。研究结果强调了研究ADA实施中权力失衡与关系持续时间之间相互作用的重要性,并提供了了解ADA在浪漫关系中可能发挥作用的方法。
