DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Dating violence is increasingly recognized as a significant problem among adolescents, even those in middle school. What is even more surprising is the fact that females report perpetrating more dating violence than males. Studies have shown that exposures to physical violence at many levels (individuals, peers, family, community) is generally more predictive of dating violence for males than females. A different type of violence exposure, that of relational aggression, remains a largely unexplored risk for dating violence behavior. Relational aggression, defined as behaviors aimed at inflicting harm through the manipulation of relationships, threat of damage to them or both, is often characteristic of girls. In conjunction with a CDC funded dating violence project, the purpose of this study is to examine the relationship of relational aggression and relational victimization to dating violence behaviors among urban, African American middle school students. Examining relational aggression in middle school students may provide a greater understanding of gender differences in dating violence behaviors and is necessary to better inform preventative practices.

描述（由申请人提供）：约会暴力越来越被认为是青少年（甚至是中学青少年）中的一个重大问题。更令人惊讶的是，据报道，女性比男性实施更多的约会暴力。研究表明，与女性相比，男性在多个层面（个人、同伴、家庭、社区）遭受身体暴力通常更能预测约会暴力。另一种不同类型的暴力暴露，即关系攻击，对于约会暴力行为来说仍然是一个很大程度上未被探索的风险。关系攻击被定义为通过操纵关系、威胁​​损害关系或两者兼而有之来造成伤害的行为，通常是女孩的特征。结合疾病预防控制中心资助的约会暴力项目，本研究的目的是研究城市非裔美国中学生的关系攻击和关系受害与约会暴力行为的关系。检查中学生的关系攻击可能有助于更好地了解约会暴力行为中的性别差异，并且对于更好地为预防实践提供信息是必要的。
