Abstract

Given prevalence rates and negative consequences that adolescents’ perpetration of dating violence may have on an individual’s well-being and future relationships, it is imperative to explore factors that may increase or reduce its occurrence. Thus, we aimed to identify how multiple contextual risk factors (individual, family, schools, and neighborhoods) were related to adolescents’ perpetration of dating violence over a 6 year period. Then, we assessed how neighborhood collective efficacy, an important predictor of urban youths’ well-being, buffered the relationship between each of the risk factors and adolescents’ perpetration of dating violence. Three waves of data from the Welfare, Children, and Families: A Three-City Study were used (N = 765; Ages 16–20 at Wave 3). The sample is 53 % female, 42 % African-American, and 53 % Hispanic. For the total sample, drug and alcohol use, low parental monitoring, academic difficulties, and involvement with antisocial peers were significant early risk factors for perpetration of dating violence in late adolescence. Risk factors also varied by adolescents’ race and sex. Finally, perceived neighborhood collective efficacy buffered the relationship between early academic difficulties and later perpetration of dating violence for Hispanic males. These results imply that multiple systems should be addressed in dating violence prevention programs.

Models were first examined with family income, family structure, time in neighborhood, and number of moves, as well as adolescents’ race and sex and mother’s education. For parsimony, final models are presented and discussed with only adolescents’ race and sex and mother’s education because family income (M = $1088.01 per month, SD = $809.30), family structure (81.3% single parent), time in neighborhood (M = 113.11 months, SD = 129.37), and number of moves (M = 1.23, SD = 1.03) were not significant and results did not change with their exclusion.

Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) was first utilized in the present study to account for the nested nature of the data and to test the two hypotheses. In this analysis, Census tracts (N = 216) were combined based on geography in over 93% of cases to ensure that at least 80% of the neighborhood clusters had more than 10 adolescents (Maas and Hox 2005). Weighted averages of the Census variables were then calculated and utilized in an HLM analysis. HLM models revealed no significant slope or intercept variation across neighborhood clusters, which warranted the use of lagged OLS regression models instead.
