Abstract :
[en] Dating violence (DV) is a serious social problem among adolescents and emerging adults, both boys and girls are victims and perpetrators. The current study aimed to investigate correlates of dating violence perpetration among Belgian youths. We examined facets of empathy and verbal skills as protective factors, and facets of impulsivity as risk factors for psychological and physical DV perpetration. Eight hundred and thirteen adolescents and emerging adults (71.7% females, Mean Age=18.9) completed self-administered questionnaires investigating their physical and psychological DV perpetration, empathy, verbal skills and impulsivity. Findings show that male and female respondents have different patterns of correlations between the studied variables. Facets of empathy and verbal skills hinder DV perpetration, whereas facets of impulsivity foster it. The impact of the different facets can vary across regression models, gender of the perpetrator and forms of DV. The present study contributes to a better understanding of DV by examining facets of empathy, verbal skills and impulsivity. Prevention programs are encouraged to target specific facets of these variables among adolescents and emerging adults.
