Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major global health concern and is particularly high among adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa. We collected weekly surveys for one year from 421 South African adolescent boys and conducted interviews with 48 participants. Quantitative analyses revealed that daily fluctuations in negative emotions were associated with higher odds of IPV perpetration, but binge drinking was not. Qualitative analyses highlighted anger, perceived infidelity, and emotional (dys)regulation as drivers of perpetration. South African adolescent boys exhibit unique risk factors for IPV compared to adult samples. Interventions for adolescents should incorporate emotional regulation and conflict management strategies
