Abstract

This article conducts a systematic review on the prevalence of dating violence in adolescents and young people. Primary studies about physical, psychological and sexual dating violence (perpetration and victimization) were analyzed. A total of 1,221 references were found and, out of those, 113 met the pre-established quality criteria (studies had to have used assessment tools with evidence of reliability and validity in samples of over 500 participants or obtained through probabilistic sampling). The results showed great variability in the figures on the prevalence of dating violence. Specifically, the percentages range from 3.8% to 41.9% for perpetrated physical violence; from 0.4% to 57.3% for victimized physical violence; from 4.2% to 97% for perpetrated psychological violence; from 8.5% to 95.5% for victimized psychological violence; from 1.2% to 58.8% for perpetrated sexual violence; and finally, from 0.1% to 64.6% for victimized sexual violence. The results suggest a higher prevalence in the perpetration of psychological aggression by women and sexual violence by men; greater psychological and sexual victimization in women; and slightly higher rates of aggression in adolescents than in young adults. Also, in many of the papers the aggression had a bidirectional nature.
