The objective of this study is to contribute to the understanding of the stay\/leave decision of the adolescent victims of physical dating violence. A structural equation model was estimated to explain the direct and indirect contribution of the level of satisfaction, commitment, justification of the aggression, relationship duration, psychological coercion toward commitment, and the consequences of the abuse on the victims\u2019 decision to continue in the abusive relationship. The sample was 456 Latinx adolescents aged between 12 and 18 years. The results corroborate that the decision to leave a physically abusive dating relationship is a complex phenomenon related to subjective variables such as (a) the level of satisfaction, (b) cognitive evaluation of the aggression (especially in those couples who have been together for a long time), and (c) the exposure to psychological pressures toward commitment. Future preventive strategies must incorporate actions to help the youngest to evaluate in a more objective and adequate way, the real quality of their first relationships, and aim to modify the justification of the aggression, the recognition of the potential harm, and to foster an adequate balance between the benefits and harm of staying in the abusive relationship.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260520986277","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,16]],"date-time":"2021-01-16T04:20:30Z","timestamp":1610770830000},"page":"NP10362-NP10381","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Adolescent Victims of Physical Dating Violence: Why Do They Stay in Abusive Relationships?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Marina","family":"Mu\u00f1oz-Rivas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Autonomous University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0295-242X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rosa Carolina","family":"Ronz\u00f3n-Tirado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Autonomous University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7602-2076","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natalia","family":"Redondo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Autonomous University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Dolores Zamarr\u00f3n","family":"Cassinello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Autonomous University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0886260520986277","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1891\/0886-6708.VV-D-16-00103"},{"key":"bibr2-0886260520986277","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-12-811797-2.00014-1"},{"key":"bibr3-0886260520986277","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Cascardi M., Avery-leaf S., O\u2019Leary D. & Smith A.
