| Abstract | The study s purpose was twofold: (i) identify subtypes for adolescent male and female perpetrators of dating violence, and (ii) examine distal and proximal risk factors of adolescent dating violence for differing male and female typologies. A cluster analysis was used to develop perpetrator typologies: 3-clusters emerged for males -- generally violent; situational violent; and non-violent; and 4-clusters emerged for females -- depressed attention seeker; hostile controller; undifferentiated controller; and non-violent. Two separate MANCOVA were conducted, one for males and one for females, using age and SES as covariates, to test whether the typologies differed by risk factors (dependent variables). Overall, adolescent perpetrator typologies differed by distal and proximal risk factors. Typologies differed from one another within their gender as well as between gender groups (e.g. males vs. females). Generally violent males had higher scores on parent-child violence and witnessing inter-parental violence, compared to situational violent and non-violent males. Generally violent males had higher scores on acceptance of violence, school/community violence, alcohol/drug use, and number of dating partners compared to non-violent males. Compared to non-violent females, the depressed attention seeker females had higher scores on school/community violence, seriousness of relationship, number of dating partners, and length of time dating. The hostile controller females and undifferentiated controller females had higher scores on parent-child violence, alcohol/drug use, and number of dating partners compared to non-violent females. This study suggests a need for clinical findings to be included in initial assessments and treatment matching for adolescent perpetrator typologies. |
