“…According to Jacobson et al (1994), men's violence (or the threat of violence) against women is linked to the psychological and social control some men use in their relationships, and is reinforced by the fear it produces in their partner. Similarly, Buelna, Ulloa, and Ulibarri (2009) discovered that the extent to which women reported experiencing such deference in their relationship (measured as the lack of sexual relationship power and control) was associated with an increased risk for dating violence. Furthermore, according to Riggs and O'Leary (1989), the relationship between fear and violence in dating relationships may be bidirectional.…”

Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) has been identified as a predictor for dating violence victimization; however, the mechanism for this relationship is unexplored. The current study examined whether fearful dating experiences may help explain the relationship between CSA and dating violence victimization. Participants (N =327 college women) completed self-report measures of CSA, fearful dating experiences, and dating violence. In a mediational model test, CSA was found to be positively associated with fear in dating relationships and with dating violence victimization, fear was associated with dating violence victimization, and the effect of CSA on dating violence victimization scores was reduced after controlling for fear. A Sobel's test showed that fear partially mediated the relationship between CSA and current dating violence victimization.
