Abstract

Dating disagreements consist of divergences between partners’ opinions or needs. When left unresolved, dating disagreements may escalate into conflicts and even sometimes, to dating violence perpetration (DVP). Several risk factors have been documented for conflicts and DVP in adolescents, such as stress, attachment insecurities, and prior DVP, but they have never been explored in association with the events that usually precede conflicts and DVP: disagreements. This study aimed to examine (1) how adolescents’ variations in daily stress and attachment are associated with their probability of experiencing daily disagreements and their resolutions, and (2) whether adolescents’ DVP history moderates these associations. A sample of 216 dating adolescents answered a baseline questionnaire measuring DVP in the prior year and completed a 14-day online assessment of their stress, attachment states (anxiety, avoidance), dating disagreement occurrence, and resolution. Multilevel models indicated that on days when adolescents reported being more stressed or avoidant than usual, probability of disagreement occurrence was higher and of resolution weaker. Interaction effects of prior DVP were found for within and between-level attachment anxiety and between-level stress. Daily variations in stress and attachment may make adolescents vulnerable to disagreement, notably for those with prior DVP experiences. These findings support the relevance of examining daily variations in risk factors of dating disagreements and provide cues to enhance healthy dating relationships promotion programs developed for youth.

青少年的约会分歧:日常浪漫依恋和压力的作用

约会分歧包括双方意见或需求的分歧。如果不解决，约会分歧可能会升级为冲突，有时甚至是约会暴力(DVP)。已经记录了青少年冲突和DVP的几个风险因素，如压力、依恋不安全感和先前的DVP，但它们从未与通常发生冲突和DVP之前的事件(分歧)联系起来。本研究旨在探讨(1)青少年日常压力和依恋的变化如何与他们经历日常分歧的可能性及其解决方案相关，以及(2)青少年DVP史是否调节了这些关联。216名约会青少年回答了一份测量前一年DVP的基线问卷，并完成了一项为期14天的在线评估，评估他们的压力、依恋状态(焦虑、逃避)、约会分歧的发生和解决。多水平模型表明，在青少年报告比平时更有压力或逃避的日子里，分歧发生的可能性更高，解决的可能性更弱。在依恋焦虑水平内、水平间和水平间压力水平上发现了先前DVP的交互效应。压力和依恋的日常变化可能使青少年容易受到分歧的影响，特别是那些先前有DVP经历的青少年。这些发现支持了研究约会分歧风险因素的日常变化的相关性，并为加强针对年轻人的健康约会关系促进计划提供了线索。
