abstract="This article describes a new instrument that assesses adolescent dating abuse (ADA) victimization and perpetration. The Measure of Adolescent Relationship Harassment  and Abuse (MARSHA) is a comprehensive instrument that includes items on physical,  sexual, and psychological ADA, as well as cyber dating abuse, social control, and  invasion of privacy. Data for this study came from a population-based, nationally  representative sample of adolescents ages 11 to 21 years old (N = 1,257). Exploratory factor analysis was conducted for the victimization and perpetration  versions of the MARSHA, and convergent and divergent validity were assessed using  the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI) and the juvenile  victimization questionnaire (JVQ), respectively. <br><br>RESULTS suggest that the MARSHA has  good reliability and validity, and that each subscale had good internal consistency. The authors propose that the MARSHA may be a strong alternative to the CADRI or the  conflict tactics scale (CTS) because it reflects contemporary forms of abuse, such  as online harassment and pressure to send nude selfies, and the nonconsensual  dissemination of sexually explicit images.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
