Online teen dating violence, family and school climate from a gender perspective /Violencia de pareja online en la adolescencia, clima familiar y escolar desde la perspectiva de género

The aim of this study is to analyse relationships from the family and school context and online teen dating violence from a gender perspective. The participants in this study included 919 adolescents (52.4% girls), aged 15–18 years (M = 16.12; SD = 0.99), who reported having or having had a partner in the last year. Multivariate analyses (MANOVAs) were performed to analyse the relationships between the variables of interest. The results show that teens who are violent with their partners in an online environment indicate higher levels of family conflict and less school affiliation than nonviolent teens. In the boys, there is a lower perception of support from the teacher, and in girls, less family cohesion. The scope of these results and their implication in the prevention of this type of violence is presented in the discussion.
