Abstract
Dating violence (DV) is a social problem with severe consequences for the victims. Studies in Colombia on the protective factors for DV against women are scarce. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between parental attachment and suicide risk (SR) and the mediating role of relationship power and DV in 210 Colombian female students (adolescents: 13-18 years; emerging adults: 19-24 years). The results show that 89.55 % of the girls had experienced DV, and 55.2 % had experienced suicidal ideation. Adolescent girls show greater power in the relationship, greater SR, and less parental attachment than those in the emerging adulthood stage. In all participants, a greater parental attachment was associated with lower SR. Serial mediation analysis found a significant indirect effect for parental attachment on SR through power and DV (B = -0.031, SE= 0.015, 95 % CI: -0.063/-0.005). A positive relationship w ith parents could enhance greater power for young womenin their relationships, reducing the likelihood of suffering from DV and SR. This study highlights the importance of reinforcing the role of parents in promoting the empowerment of their daughters to reduce DV and its consequences on their mental health.
