- Abstract
Dating relationships during adolescence is a complex interaction that involves multiple systems however, the systemic factors promoting the development of healthy dating relationships in adolescence are not well understood. The current study aims to address this gap by reviewing studies that assessed factors contributing to healthy adolescent dating relationship skills, competencies, and capacities. Through a social ecological perspective, healthy dating relationship factors were identified across five levels of adolescents' environments (e.g., individual, peer, family, school, and online) to inform intervention strategies for the promotion of healthy dating relationships. After an iterative screening process, 51 peer-reviewed empirical articles were identified across a search strategy from 2008 to 2018. Amongst the 51 articles, 76 key healthy dating relationship factors were identified across the five social ecological levels: individual (n = 34), family (n = 16), peer (n = 13), school (n = 9), and online (n = 4). While several healthy dating relationship factors identified in school-based relationship education interventions (school level) overlapped with individual and peer level factors (e.g., communication, listening), the review highlighted two social ecological levels of family and online that can further benefit the efficacy and comprehensiveness of school-based relationship education interventions.
