Background Prevalence of adolescent dating aggression (ADA) Risk factors and correlates Limitations of current research Developmental psychopathology (Cicchetti, 1984) Autonomy and relatedness as a potentially relevant developmental process

The Current Study Examines how mothers’ and adolescents’ negotiation of autonomy and relatedness with one another longitudinally predicts adolescent involvement with dating aggression. Examines gender, race/ethnicity, and risk as potential moderating factors

Participants N=88 55% Caucasian, 44% African-American 48% Female 33% “At-risk” Mean age at Time 1= 15.8 (0.87) Mean age at Time 2= 18.2 (1.11) Mean income=$31, 322 ($19,747)

Procedure Recruited from local high schools Consenting families brought in for two waves of data collection Participants compensated for their time Transportation and child care provided when necessary

Variables Autonomy and Relatedness Variables (W1) –Mother’s Supporting and Inhibiting –Adolescent’s Supporting and Inhibiting Aggression Variables (W2) –Physical Perpetration and Victimization –Psychological Perpetration and Victimization Demographic Variables (W1)

Results Preliminary Analyses Few main effects of relatedness were consistent with hypotheses Autonomy findings were contrary to hypotheses and were predominantly characterized by interactions with gender, race/ethnicity, and risk

Interaction of Gender with Maternal Autonomy Support in Predicting Physical Perpetration

Interaction of Gender with Maternal Autonomy Support in Predicting Physical Victimization

Interaction of Risk with Adolescent Autonomy Support in Predicting Physical Perpetration

Interaction of Race/Ethnicity with Adolescent Autonomy Support in Predicting Psychological Perpetration

Implications Autonomy and relatedness predict ADA in distinct ways Importance of ecological and contextual factors in the role of autonomy in dating aggression Potential different meanings of/reasons for the use of aggression by moderators

Strengths Theoretical framework--first study to examine autonomy and relatedness as predictors of ADA Multi-method, longitudinal design Highlights possibility of different pathways to aggression for different groups of adolescents Examines perpetration and victimization

Limitations Small sample size, limited power Unable to examine the context of the dating relationships themselves Did not examine fathers’ role in AR negotiation Could not examine peer factors that may be more salient at this age

Future Directions Examine potential differential pathways to ADA by gender, race/ethnicity and risk as markers of ecological context Incorporate the context of aggression within dating relationships Explore impact of autonomy and relatedness with peers
