abstract="Electronic forms of dating violence among youth are common yet little is known about  how these forms of violence overlap with the commonly studied domains of physical,  sexual and verbal teen dating violence. Using factor analysis and latent class  analysis, this study identifies patterns of electronic, verbal, physical and sexual  dating violence victimization and perpetration in 9th and 12th graders. Data are  from 470 9th (n = 190; 60.5% female; mean age = 12.0 years, age range: 11.3-13.8)  and 12th graders (n = 280; 63.9% female; mean age = 14.9 years, age range:  14.0-16.6) from southeastern Michigan. A 5-class solution for 9th graders and a  6-class solution for 12th graders were selected given fit and interpretability. Classes were characterized by domain(s) of violence, as opposed to perpetration or  victimization. Three domains of electronic dating aggression were identified:  monitoring, harassment, and coercion. Electronic dating aggression was present in  the majority of classes, and overlapped substantially with other domains of  violence. The highest risk class had risk of victimization and perpetration for all  types of dating violence (electronic monitoring, electronic harassment, electronic  coercion, verbal violence, physical violence and sexual violence). Drug use and  experiencing one or more adverse childhood experiences predicted membership in a  higher risk group for the older cohort, while alcohol consumption predicted higher  risk for the younger cohort. The findings from this study show overlap between  dating violence domains and imply that domains of electronic dating violence are  important to consider in conjunction with physical, sexual and verbal domains, to  address teen dating violence.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
