Abstract
This study examined the overlap in teen dating violence and bullying
perpetration and victimization, with regard to acts of physical violence,
psychological abuse, and—for the first time ever—digitally perpetrated
cyber abuse. A total of 5,647 youth (51% female, 74% White) from 10
schools participated in a cross-sectional anonymous survey. Results indicated
substantial co-occurrence of all types of teen dating violence and bullying.
Youth who perpetrated and/or experienced physical, psychological, and
cyber bullying were likely to have also perpetrated/experienced physical and
sexual dating violence, and psychological and cyber dating abuse.
