Answer preview

A study by Meldrum et al. (2020) explored how childhood experience may result in a lack of self-control as the child matures, which can increase the chances of teen dating violence.  The test for self-control variables scored reliability of .65, then the reliability is good. The inter-item correlation or validity is .39, which means the validity is low. The study findings was that lack of self-control leads to increased crimes among adolescents. However, Meldrum et al. (2020) has not recorded generalizability in other populations, although the findings can apply for further research in areas related to adverse childhood experience.
