Dating violence (DV) is a public health problem among young people, especially
women. It involves violent acts towards one’s partner and occurs face-to-face (offline) or through
the Internet (online). Offline DV is linked to suicidal ideation and attachment to parents and peers.
Fewer studies analyze the psychological and social consequences of online DV. This study tests the
link between young women’s DV victimization (off- and online), suicide risk (SR), and parent and
peer support in a sample of young Spanish females (N = 1227) (Mage=19, SD = 2.82; range = 13–28).
Results confirm that compared to non-victims off- and online DV increase suicidal thoughts and
attempts. This effect is stronger for victims of both types of DV (thoughts: OR offline DV = 3.11;
CI95% 2.06, 4.69; OR online DV = 2.37; CI95% 1.69, 3.32; OR off-online DV = 4.19 CI95% 2.44, 7.17)
(attempts: OR offline DV = 4.02; CI95% 1.83, 8.81; OR online DV = 3.69; CI95% 1.96, 7.01; OR off-online
DV = 10.55 CI95% 2.56, 44.43). Mediation and moderation models were used to assess the effect of
perceived attachment of parents and friends in DV victims and SR. Mediation analyses indicated
that perceived attachment and proximity to parents and peers reduces the impact of DV on SR.
Moderation analyses showed that a high level of perceived peer attachment reduces the effect of
offline DV on SR. Regarding off-online DV, a high level of perceived parent attachment mitigates
suicide risk. Loneliness, lack of care from loved ones, and thwarted belongingness increase suicidal
thoughts in DV victims. Peers and parents’ proximity may prevent risk behaviors in DV victims.
