Abstract
This article describes a conceptual model of cognitive and emotional processes proposed to mediate the relation between youth
exposure to family violence and teen dating violence perpetration. Explicit beliefs about violence, internal knowledge structures,
and executive functioning are hypothesized as cognitive mediators, and their potential influences upon one another are described.
Theory and research on the role of emotions and emotional processes in the relation between youths’ exposure to family violence
and teen dating violence perpetration are also reviewed. We present an integrated model that highlights how emotions and emotional
processes work in tandem with hypothesized cognitive mediators to predict teen dating violence.
