Teen dating violence and sexual victimization are serious public health concerns.
Although research has highlighted the correlates and consequences of such abuse,
little is known about early antecedents. The current study sought to identify the
risk and protective factors evident in early adolescence that are associated with
sexual and dating violence victimization in late adolescence. The sample involved
236 (52% female) low-income Latino (69%) and African American (31%) youth, their
older sisters, and their mothers who were studied when youth were, on average,
ages 13 and 18 years. The results indicated that early indicators of a risky
lifestyle (e.g., getting drunk, having sex) and having deviant friends and
siblings were associated with a higher likelihood of subsequent victimization.
Mothers' early strictness, monitoring, and conservative sexual attitudes
predicted a lower likelihood of subsequent assault and served as significant
buffers given specific risks, particularly for girls and Latinos. The findings
suggest that behavior and social network patterns established relatively early in
life increase one's vulnerability to victimization later in life, as well as
point to aspects of parenting that serve a protective function against such
outcomes.
