Hence, the current systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to collectively examine the association between bullying perpetrations and young people's marijuana use and to compare their effect sizes. Of the 22 studies included, 33.3 % used a standardized tool for traditional bullying, 33.3 % for cyberbullying, and 9 % for marijuana use. About 36 % estimated the prevalence of marijuana use during the past 30 days, and 63 % measured bullying perpetration without a specified type. Of the 20 studies that examined the association between traditional bullying perpetration and marijuana use, 85.0 % reported a positive association, 10.0 % found no significant relationship, and 5.0 % indicated a negative association. Additionally, all five studies that examined the relationship between cyberbullying perpetration and marijuana use confirmed a significant positive association. The meta-analyses revealed that both traditional bullying and cyberbullying perpetration had an overall effect on marijuana use among young people with the pooled effect sizes at 0.902 and 1.245, respectively, but the effect size for cyberbullying perpetration was larger than traditional bullying perpetration. Comparing these two effect sizes, the strength of association was stronger for cyberbullying perpetration and marijuana use than for traditional bullying perpetration. These findings may reflect a shift in bullying trend from offline to online setting and highlight the potential role of problematic internet use. To address these interconnected issues, the study recommends an integrated, developmentally sensitive intervention model delivered through online platforms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51360,"journal":{"name":"Aggression and Violent Behavior","volume":"83 ","pages":"Article 102058"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144253552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current systematic review aimed to examine and synthesize the literature on person-centered approaches on dating violence among adolescents and young adults as well as to identify sex or gender differences. Five databases were searched to identify peer-reviewed studies (2000−2022) and theses (2015–2022) written in French, English, or Spanish, with participants aged 11 to 25. Only studies using latent class or latent profile analyses on dating violence victimization and/or perpetration (psychological, physical, and/or sexual) with at least two forms of violence were included. Drawn from 22 studies, findings highlight four typical classes of dating violence: a little or no involvement class (the largest class), a psychological violence class (typically the second largest class), a psychological and physical violence class and a multiple forms of violence class. Results on sex or gender differences are mixed. Similar numbers of classes were generally identified for boys and girls, although two studies found a greater number of classes for girls.

These developments blur the boundaries between forms of violence traditionally treated in silos of public and private (domestic) violence. However, while IPA has been observed as present in the backgrounds of a range of violent offenders, including extremists, it is important for the risk assessment and management of both to understand if and how IPA is <em>relevant</em> to violent extre risk. To unpack this relationship, we apply psychometric network analysis to survey responses from a sample of men from the UK general population. A series of network graphs visualise how IPA perpetration, attitudes towards violence against women, attitudes towards violence, exposure to violent extremism, and violent extremist attitudes and intentions relate to one another. Our findings suggest that IPA may be an observable (although admittedly crude) <em>indicator</em> of the types of attitudes which underpin both types of violence, and that exposure to violent extremism may, in part, explain the blurring of boundaries increasingly observed in practice. We introduce a number of protective factors into the models to visualise how they might mitigate risk, to inform the design and delivery of risk management in this space.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51360,"journal":{"name":"Aggression and Violent Behavior","volume":"82 ","pages":"Article 102055"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144138010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article draws on findings from a scoping review that examined the nature and extent of research conducted with young people exploring their attitudes towards and perceptions of TFCC. Sixteen articles met the inclusion criteria. Results from the review revealed that young people generally perceive TFCC behaviours as constituting DVA. However, attitudes vary based on the type of behaviour involved. Importantly, some young people identify contextual factors that distinguish non-abusive and abusive dynamics in intimate relationships. Inconsistent methodological approaches were found across studies, especially in quantitative research exploring a limited number of TFCC behaviours.

Hence, animal cruelty can be both a cause and effect of low empathy, moral neutralization is just as likely to shape animal cruelty as animal cruelty is to shape moral neutralization, and low empathy both drives and is driven by neutralization. Progression at the apex of the model (in this case, animal cruelty) occurs as the individual moves from safe targets and objectives to less safe targets and objectives they find more reinforcing (smaller animal → larger animal → bullying → delinquency).

Among the 79 articles that met the inclusion criteria, the findings were predominantly non-significant or mixed. Significant results suggest a modest correlation between testosterone and aggression specifically in adolescents. Cortisol demonstrated a more complex pattern, with low cortisol levels associated with increased aggression in adolescents, particularly in males, while findings in younger children were less conclusive. The interaction between testosterone and cortisol in relation to aggression also varied; high testosterone and low cortisol were linked to increased aggression in adolescent samples. These results highlight the intricate interplay of hormonal influences on aggression, modulated by age and sex. The observed association between elevated testosterone and aggression in adolescence aligns with testosterone's role in status-driven behaviors. Consistent with the dual-hormone hypothesis, the influence of testosterone on aggression appears to be moderated by cortisol levels, suggesting adolescence as a critical period for targeted interventions.

Based on an analysis of 47 studies, the systematic review identified a range of factors that support the effective implementation of case management interventions. These include the availability of relevant tools; strong multi-agency working arrangements; intervention teams holding relevant knowledge and expertise; and adequate resourcing. In contrast, the absence of these factors can inhibit implementation, as can reliance on overly risk-oriented logics; public and political pressure; and the features of the legislative context within which programmes are delivered.
