Sažetak
The aim of this study was to explore whether maltreatment in childhood contributed to adolescent dating violence. A convenience sample of 220 teenage girls and boys (M = 17.2, SD = 0.43) completed self-administered anonymous questionnaires. The Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory was used to gather information about dating violence. Multitype maltreatment data was obtained from the Comprehensive Child Maltreatment Scales for Adults. Prevalence rates for maltreatment in childhood varied from 15% to 42% depending on type of maltreatment. Regarding type of violence, prevalence rates varied from 19% to 36% for sustained dating victimization and from 10% to 37% for violence toward partner. Results suggest that boys who were victims of emotional violence by their fathers in childhood are more prone to emotionally abuse their dating partners as well as to being exposed to emotional violence in dating relationships. However, there were no statistically significant associations between levels of emotional violence by mother and later abuse, as well as being abused in dating relationships. Physical abuse and neglect by father, mother, and other persons in childhood does not contribute to latter violence toward partner, or to being abused in dating relationships. Findings indicated that emotional maltreatment by father in childhood contributes to violence in adolescent dating relationship.
