| dc.description.abstract | Sexual teen dating violence is highly prevalent and linked to numerous mental health problems. However, risk factors for this form of violence remain understudied. This study used a short-term prospective longitudinal design to investigate gendered pathways from exposure to interparental violence to sexual teen dating violence victimization through acceptance of violence and self-efficacy to disclose violence. A total of 2,564 high school students completed self-report questionnaires. Path analysis revealed that general exposure to interparental violence was associated with acceptance of girl-inflicted violence, which in turn, predicted girls’ sexual victimization at Wave 2. Lower self-efficacy to disclose abuse at Wave 1 was also directly associated with girls’ sexual victimization at Wave 2. Path analysis failed to predict boys’ sexual victimization. Effect sizes were small but underlined the relevance of pursuing prevention programs that aim to promote self-efficacy to disclose violence and to reduce acceptance of teen dating violence, especially among girls. | en_US |
