The research results showed that there was a significant and significant influence of child maltreatment on dating violence behavior in young adults who were dating, mediated by self-esteem. It can be said that individuals who have experienced child maltreatment have a tendency to become perpetrators of dating violence, but if the individual grows up with high self-esteem, the tendency for dating violence behavior will be lower.
