The current study aims to analyze the impact of online and conventional couple quality on the explanation of dating aggression in Spain and Italy. 312 Italian and 430 Spanish university students participated in the study. Logistic regression analysis showed that conflicts increased the likelihood to be involved in psychological and physical aggression in both countries. Transgressive behavior increased the odds of being involved in physical and psychological aggression in Spain and in psychological aggression in Italy. Online intrusiveness influenced Spanish participants’ involvement in physical and psychological dating aggression while online jealousy was the main predictor of both types of aggression in Italy. Results are discussed in terms of the insecurity that seems to characterize dating aggression in young adulthood.

Lo studio intende analizzare l’impatto della qualità della relazione tra partner online e offline nella spiegazione del dating aggression in Spagna e in Italia. 312 studenti universitari italiani e 430 spagnoli hanno partecipato allo studio. Regressioni logistiche hanno mostrato come il conflitto aumenti la probabilità di essere coinvolto nel dating aggression fisico e psicologico in entrambi i Paesi. Il comportamento trasgressivo incrementa la probabilità di essere coinvolto nel dating aggression fisico e psicologico in Spagna ma solo in quello psicologico in Italia. Infine l’intrusività online influenza il dating aggression fisico e psicologico in Spagna mentre in Italia è la gelosia online a predire entrambe le forme. I risultati enfatizzano il ruolo dell’insicurezza nel predire la qualità delle relazioni sentimentali nella prima adultità.
