Book excerpt: "Teen Dating Violence (TDV) is a prevalent problem that adolescents face (Hébert et al., 2017), with negative consequences occurring for those who experience it (e.g., Bell & Bailey, 2020). Adolescents do not always perceive certain dating behaviours as abuse, such as in instances of emotional or psychological abuse (Borges et al., 2020). Additionally, peers and friends play a role in adolescents' TDV experiences (Giordano et al., 2015), while parental monitoring has been linked to TDV perpetration (Espelage et al., 2020). No research has examined adolescents' evaluations of emotional and psychological abuse and the role friendship and parental monitoring play on these evaluations. This study examined adolescents' evaluations of emotional and psychological abuse, taking into consideration the friend involved and the prevalence of parental monitoring enacted by their parent. Adolescents (N = 97, 13-17) completed vignettes, evaluating the TDV scenario and the perpetrators' behaviour: through a 2 (TDV: emotional or psychological abuse) x 2 (friend gender: male or female) x 2 (friend role: perpetrator or victim) design, and parents were asked to complete the Parental Monitoring Questionnaire. The main findings revealed that adolescents did not evaluate emotional and psychological abuse differently. However, when taking into consideration their friends' role and gender, differences were found. Also, adolescents evaluated the perpetrator's behaviours more negatively when they were friends, and when their friend was female and the perpetrator. Parental monitoring was not found to be a significant predictor of adolescents' evaluations of TDV scenarios. Overall, this research advances our understanding of adolescents' perceptions of TDV and how they evaluate emotional and psychological abuse and the perpetrator's behaviours, taking into consideration the perpetrator's gender and their relationship to the perpetrator and victim.Keywords: teen dating violence, adolescence, friendship, parental monitoring"--
