Participants were 1,055 Mexican’ students which ages ranged between 14 and 22 years (<em>M </em>= 17.66, <em>SD</em> = 1.95). The 48.1% were females. A principal component analyses resulted in a three-factor structure which that was confirmed in the confirmatory factor analyses. The VADRI-MX assesses with 19-double items (perpetration and victimization) the three dimensions of the dating violence underlying construct: “Direct and severe”, “Subtle psychological/controlling”, and “Overt psychological/verbal.” Internal consistency was high. Correlations among the three dimensions were moderate. We can conclude that the VADRI-MX is a useful, valid, and reliable assessment tool for assessing dating violence in the adolescence period. Implications for prevention, intervention, and research are discussed.</p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Psychological Research}, author={Aizpitarte Gorrotxategi, Alazne and Rojas-Solís, José Luis}, year={2019}, month={Sep.}, pages={29–36} }
