“…Second, all data were self-report and, as such, social desirability bias may have influenced survey responses. Some research suggests that social desirability bias may be addressed through the use of implicit measures (e.g., the Implicit Association Test) of normative beliefs and gender role attitudes that assess unconscious attitudes and beliefs (Eckhardt et al 2012); this is a promising direction for future dating violence research with adolescents (Jouriles et al 2013). Third, based on our theoretical framework, the current study focused on male perpetration of physical dating violence.…”

Commonly used dating violence prevention programs assume that promotion of more egalitarian gender role attitudes will prevent dating violence perpetration. Empirical research examining this assumption, however, is limited and inconsistent. The current study examined the longitudinal association between gender role attitudes and physical dating violence perpetration among adolescent boys (n=577; 14% Black, 5% other race/ethnicity) and examined whether injunctive (i.e., acceptance of dating violence) and descriptive (i.e., beliefs about dating violence prevalence) normative beliefs moderated the association. As expected, the findings suggest that traditional gender role attitudes at T1 were associated with increased risk for dating violence perpetration 18 months later (T2) among boys who reported high, but not low, acceptance of dating violence (injunctive normative beliefs) at T1. Descriptive norms did not moderate the effect of gender role attitudes on dating violence perpetration. The results suggest that injunctive norms and gender role attitudes work synergistically to increase risk for dating violence perpetration among boys; as such, simultaneously targeting both of these constructs may be an effective prevention approach.

“…In addition to the abovementioned EMSs, the justification of violence schema has been consistently related to aggressive behavior (e.g., Burton, Florell, & Wygant, 2013; Huesmann & Guerra, 1997; Jouriles, Rosenfield, McDonald, Kleinsasser, & Dodson, 2013). This schema, which is not part of the schema theory, refers to the normative appropriateness of aggressive behavior (Huesmann & Guerra, 1997).…”

The purpose of this longitudinal study was to assess the relationship between early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) and child-to-parent aggression (CPA) and to test whether social information processing (SIP) mediates this association. A total of 903 adolescents (50.9% girls) completed measures of EMSs at Time 1, SIP at Time 1 and Time 2 (1 year later), and CPA at Time 1, Time 2, and Time 3 (2 years later) to determine whether SIP measured at Time 2 mediated between the EMSs measured at Time 1 and CPA measured at Time 3. The results showed that each schema evaluated in this study had a different effect on SIP components and CPA. The SIP components of anger and aggressive response access in turn predicted CPA, mediating the relationship between two EMSs and CPA. More specifically, the schemas of defectiveness and the justification of violence predicted the response access component of SIP, which in turn predicted CPA. The results also showed bidirectional relationships between SIP components and CPA; whereas SIP components predicted CPA, the latter also predicted a worsening in SIP, perpetuating the problem. Furthermore, several gender differences were found in these paths. The findings indicate that intervention in the social-cognitive mechanisms is important to reduce adolescents' aggression directed toward their parents.

“…Minimal research has also been conducted on whether the acceptability of IPV is differentially related to one’s own IPV perpetration based on race or ethnicity. Indeed, despite prior research utilizing diverse samples of adolescents (e.g., Jouriles, Rosenfield, McDonald, Kleinsasser, & Dodson, 2013; Orpinas et al, 2013; Temple et al, 2016), studies have largely ignored whether the association between acceptability of IPV and one’s own IPV perpetration differs across racial or ethnic groups. Preliminary research with adults has demonstrated that Hispanic women, relative to non-Hispanic women, are significantly more likely to agree that there are times when slapping a partner is acceptable (Ingram, 2007).…”

Objective Beliefs about the acceptability of intimate partner violence (IPV) are associated with the perpetration of IPV among adolescents. However, minimal research has examined whether this association persists across time or whether there is a bidirectional association between acceptability of IPV and the perpetration of IPV. The purpose of the present study was to examine bidirectional associations between acceptability of IPV and the perpetration of IPV from adolescence into young adulthood. Method A sample of diverse high school students (N = 1,042; 56% female) from the Southwestern United States were assessed each year for six consecutive years. At each assessment, participants completed measures of the acceptability of IPV and psychological and physical IPV perpetration. The mean age of the sample at the first assessment was 15.09 (SD = .79). Results Structural equation modeling demonstrated that acceptability of male-to-female and female-to-male IPV were not consistent predictors of one’s own IPV perpetration over time. In addition, minimal evidence was found for a bidirectional association between acceptability of IPV and one’s own IPV perpetration over time. Moreover, minimal gender differences were evident and there were no differences based on race/ethnicity. Conclusion Despite the stability of beliefs about the acceptability of IPV over time from adolescence to young adulthood, findings suggest that acceptability of IPV is not a robust predictor of one’s own IPV perpetration during this developmental time period. The implications of targeting beliefs about IPV in prevention and intervention programs are discussed.
