Abstract

Scarce research has been performed on the role of power, affectivity, and suppression of emotional expression in the use of dating violence by adolescents and young men. This study aims to analyze a model of the associations between perceived power (control and dominance), affectivity (positive and negative affect), suppression of emotional expression and the frequency of use of male-to female dating violence. Participants in this cross-sectional and correlational study were 786 Spanish students aged between 13 and 25 years (M = 18.80; SD = 2.93) divided in two groups: 13-18 (316 adolescents, M = 15.58; SD = 1.02) and 18-25 (462 young men, M = 20.79; SD = 1.98) with 8 participants not stating their age. Different sequential mediation models confirmed that, only in young men, affectivity (negative and positive affect) and suppression of emotional expression mediate the relationship between power and the use of dating violence. Fostering equal relationships, associating them with positive emotional states, avoiding the frustration derived from low power perception, and providing young men with strategies for appropriately expressing their emotions may help decrease the use of dating violence.

压抑情感表达的回旋效应：关系力、情感与青少年男性对女性的约会暴力。

有关权力、情感和压抑情感表达在青少年使用约会暴力中的作用的研究很少。本研究旨在分析感知权力（控制和支配）、情感（积极和消极情感）、压抑情感表达与使用男女约会暴力频率之间的关联模型。这项横断面相关研究的参与者是 786 名年龄在 13 至 25 岁之间的西班牙学生（M = 18.80；SD = 2.93），分为两组：13 至 18 岁（316 名青少年，M = 15.58；SD = 1.02）和 18 至 25 岁（462 名年轻男性，M = 20.79；SD = 1.98），其中有 8 名参与者没有说明自己的年龄。不同的序列中介模型证实，只有在年轻男性中，情感（消极和积极情感）和压抑情感表达才是权力与使用约会暴力之间关系的中介。培养平等关系，将平等关系与积极的情绪状态联系起来，避免低权力感带来的挫败感，以及为年轻男性提供适当表达情绪的策略，可能有助于减少约会暴力的使用。

期刊介绍： Journal of Youth and Adolescence provides a single, high-level medium of communication for psychologists, psychiatrists, biologists, criminologists, educators, and researchers in many other allied disciplines who address the subject of youth and adolescence. The journal publishes quantitative analyses, theoretical papers, and comprehensive review articles. The journal especially welcomes empirically rigorous papers that take policy implications seriously. Research need not have been designed to address policy needs, but manuscripts must address implications for the manner society formally (e.g., through laws, policies or regulations) or informally (e.g., through parents, peers, and social institutions) responds to the period of youth and adolescence.
