家庭暴力，包括亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）和虐待儿童，对一生都有不利影响。来自经历相对规范冲突的家庭的有力证据表明，儿童的内部表征或对关系的信念和期望对儿童的调整起着核心作用。目前的调查研究儿童的内隐的内部表征家庭经历IPV和虐待儿童之间的冲突。虐待（n= 132）和nonmaltreated（n= 82）学龄前儿童（M年龄= 4.93岁，SD= 1.11）完成了一个叙事故事干完成任务，他们被要求产生叙事结局interadult冲突。叙事被编码为建设性的冲突解决方案，失调的破坏性行为，并对儿童的interadult侵略的扩散。母亲报告了IPV的频率和建设性冲突之间的自己和他们的合作伙伴在过去的一年。研究了IPV、建设性冲突和儿童虐待对儿童冲突行为内部表征的潜在叠加和交互影响。随着跨党派建设性冲突策略的增加，受虐待儿童的叙述描绘了更加建设性地解决冲突。虐待和nonmaltreated儿童并没有不同，在他们的代表性的冲突解决高层次的建设性的冲突策略。虐待与失调的破坏性行为和冲突蔓延到亲子关系的陈述呈正相关。IPV与冲突传播的表征呈正相关。建设性冲突反过来与冲突蔓延呈负相关。研究结果强调了家庭冲突和暴力的多重表达对儿童内隐的内部冲突表征的重要性。
Family violence, including intimate partner violence (IPV) and child maltreatment, has detrimental consequences across the life span. Robust evidence from families experiencing relatively normative conflict demonstrates the central role of children’s internal representations, or beliefs and expectations of relationships, on children’s adjustment. The current investigation examines children’s implicit internal representations of interadult conflict among families experiencing IPV and child maltreatment. Maltreated (n= 132) and nonmaltreated (n= 82) preschoolers (M age= 4.93 years, SD= 1.11) completed a narrative story-stem completion task in which they were asked to generate narrative endings to interadult conflicts. Narratives were coded for constructive conflict resolutions, dysregulated destructive behaviors, and the proliferation of interadult aggression toward the child. Mothers reported the frequency of IPV and constructive conflict between themselves and their partners within the past year. The potential additive and interactive effects of IPV, constructive conflict, and child maltreatment on children’s internal representations of conflict behaviors were examined. The narratives of maltreated children depicted more constructively resolved conflict as interadult constructive conflict tactics increased. Maltreated and nonmaltreated children did not differ in their representations of conflict resolution at high levels of constructive conflict tactics. Maltreatment was positively associated with representations of dysregulated destructive behaviors and conflict spread to the parent–child relationship. IPV was positively associated with representations of conflict spread. Constructive conflict, in turn, was negatively associated with conflict spread. The findings highlight the importance of the multiple expressions of family conflict and violence on children’s implicit internal representations of conflict.
