生活在冲突后环境中的儿童不仅极易患上与战争有关的精神疾病，而且还可能在家庭中遭受虐待。然而，人们对战争和家庭暴力之间关系的机制知之甚少。为了调查与儿童遭受虐待的经历和行为相关的变量，我们对斯里兰卡北部受战争和海啸影响的泰米尔家庭进行了一项两代人的研究。我们对359名儿童、122名母亲和88名父亲进行了标准化问卷调查，以评估他们的不良生活经历和心理健康症状。使用多元回归分析，我们发现儿童受害报告的最强预测因子是儿童暴露于集体创伤和儿童精神病理。母亲遭受大规模创伤、家庭暴力和伴侣暴力的经历都与母亲报告的母亲犯罪以及儿童报告的受害行为显著相关。同样，父亲报告的所有类型的创伤事件都与儿童报告的受害和父亲报告的犯罪显著相关。父亲的酒精使用是父亲报告的父亲犯罪行为的最强预测因子。这些发现为大规模创伤转化为家庭暴力提供了进一步的支持，并强调了儿童精神病理学和酒精消费在这种关系中的作用。
Children living in post-conflict settings are not only at high risk of developing war-related psychopathology but also of experiencing maltreatment within their families. However, little is known about the mechanisms of the relationship between war and family violence. In order to investigate the variables associated with the experience and perpetration of child maltreatment, we conducted a two-generational study with Tamil families in the North of Sri Lanka, a region affected by war and Tsunami. We interviewed children and the corresponding family dyads and triads with 359 children, 122 mothers, and 88 fathers on the basis of standardized questionnaires to assess their exposure to adverse life experiences and mental health symptoms. Using multivariate regression analyses, we found that the strongest predictors for children's report of victimization were children's exposure to mass trauma and child psychopathology. Mothers' experiences of mass trauma, family violence and partner violence were each significantly related to mother-reported maternal perpetration as well as child-reported victimization. Likewise, all types of traumatic events reported by fathers were significantly related to child-reported victimization and father-reported perpetration. Fathers' alcohol use was the strongest predictor of father-reported paternal perpetration. These findings provide further support for the transmission of mass trauma into family violence, and emphasize the role of child psychopathology as well as alcohol consumption in this relationship.
