“…Direct verbal confrontation also includes adolescents having conversations with a member of the couple, especially the victim (Edwards et al, 2015; Fry et al, 2014; Miller et al, 2012). In such conversations, adolescents described providing emotional support (Baker, 2017; Casey, Storer, et al, 2017; Plourde et al, 2016) and advice to the victim (Baker, 2017; Casey, Storer, et al, 2017; Fry et al, 2014; Plourde et al, 2016; Van Camp et al, 2014). Advice included such things as encouraging the victim to disclose the abuse to a trusted adult (Fry et al, 2014; Van Camp et al, 2014) or hotline (Fry et al, 2014) and encouraging the victim to leave their abusive partner (Casey, Storer, et al, 2017; Fry et al, 2014; Plourde et al, 2016).…”

“…Indirect methods of intervention, which were discussed in six of the reviewed articles, included adolescents’ attempts to enlist support for addressing the abuse. All of the articles that discussed indirect methods described ways adolescents enlisted the support of an adult (i.e., parents, school staff; Casey, Lindhorst, et al, 2017; Casey, Storer, et al, 2017; Edwards et al, 2015; Fry et al, 2014; Miller et al, 2013; Plourde et al, 2016). Indirect methods also included accompanying a friend to speak with an adult or get support services (Casey, Storer, et al, 2017; Fry et al, 2014) and calling a support or crisis hotline (Fry et al, 2014; Plourde et al, 2016).…”

Teen dating violence victimization is associated with a host of adverse mental and physical health problems. A number of bystander-focused interventions have been developed to mitigate the occurrence of abuse but with varying effectiveness. There remains a need to understand more about bystander behaviors used by adolescents to ensure that existing intervention components match with bystanders’ attitudes and behaviors about intervening. The current study is a scoping review of existing literature on adolescents’ use of bystander behaviors to determine who, when, how, and why adolescents intervene. Seventeen articles met inclusion criteria, the majority of which used qualitative or observational survey designs. Adolescents who either feel a sense of responsibility and confidence to intervene or are directly involved with or know the individuals involved in the dating violence are more likely to intervene. Adolescents intervene when they are able to define an act as dating violence and tend to intervene when the victim is female and when they have a supportive relationship with at least one teacher in their school. The various ways how bystander intervention is engaged in ranges from verbally or physically confronting the abuser, distracting the abuser, seeking support from an adult, to passively accepting the abuse. Reasons why adolescents intervene include believing the abuse is wrong and that intervening will diffuse the situation and help the victim. A number of barriers to bystander intervention emerged from analysis including individual attitudes and school climate factors. Implications for strengthening bystander intervention programs are discussed.

“…This is evident in the popularity of bystander interventions, which encourage young people to intervene in DRV (Stanley et al, 2015), and of gender-transformative approaches (Stanley et al, 2015; Whitaker et al, 2006), which aim to reshape gender roles and promote “more gender-equitable relationships” (Gupta, 2000, p. 10). Evaluations suggest that norms-based interventions can be effective in reducing intra-marital and domestic violence (Fulu et al, 2014), and there is emerging evidence that interventions with young people (Plourde et al, 2016) or their parents (Ehrensaft et al, 2018) can shift DRV-specific social norms among adolescents. However, evaluations of DRV interventions rarely assess impact on social norms (Coker et al, 2017; Foshee et al, 2005; Miller et al, 2014; Taylor et al, 2011), and to our knowledge none have assessed social norms as a potential mediator of intervention effects, limiting what is known about intervention mechanisms.…”

Adolescent dating and relationship violence (DRV) is widespread and associated with increased risk of subsequent poor mental health outcomes and partner violence. Shifting social norms (i.e., descriptive norms of perceived behavior and injunctive norms of acceptable behavior among a reference group of important others) may be important for reducing DRV. However, few DRV studies assess norms, measurement varies, and evidence on measure quality is diffuse. We aimed to map and assess how studies examining DRV measured social norms concerning DRV and gender. We conducted a systematic review of DRV literature reporting on the use and validity of such measures among participants aged 10–18 years. Searches included English peer-reviewed and grey literature identified via nine databases; Google Scholar; organization websites; reference checking; known studies; and expert requests. We identified 24 eligible studies from the Americas ( N = 15), Africa ( N = 4), and Europe ( N = 5) using 40 eligible measures of DRV norms (descriptive: N = 19; injunctive: N = 14) and gender norms (descriptive: N = 1; injunctive: N = 6). No measure was shared across studies. Most measures were significantly associated with DRV outcomes and most had a defined reference group. Other evidence of quality was mixed. DRV norms measures sometimes specified heterosexual relationships but rarely separated norms governing DRV perpetrated by girls and boys. None specified sexual-minority relationships. Gender norms measures tended to focus on violence, but missed broader gendered expectations underpinning DRV. Future research should develop valid, reliable DRV norms and gender norms measures, and assess whether interventions’ impact on norms mediates impact on DRV.
