Previous studies have shown that exposure to parental verbal abuse (VA) in childhood was associated with higher rates of adult psychopathology and alterations in brain structure. Here we examine the potential consequences of exposure to peer VA during childhood. A total of 848 young adults (ages 18 to 25 years) with no history of exposure to domestic violence, sexual abuse, or parental physical abuse rated their childhood exposure to parental and peer VA and completed a self-report packet that included the Kellner Symptom Questionnaire, the Limbic Symptom Checklist-33, and the Dissociative Experiences Scale. Diffusion tensor images were collected on a subset of 63 young adults with no history of abuse or exposure to parental VA selected for varying degrees of exposure to peer VA. Images were analyzed using tract based spatial statistics Analysis of covariance revealed ‘dose-dependent’ effects of peer VA on anxiety, depression, anger-hostility, dissociation, ‘limbic irritability’, and drug use. Peer and parental VA were essentially equivalent in effect size on these ratings. Path analysis indicated that peer VA during middle school years had the most significant effect on symptom scores. Degree of exposure to peer VA correlated with increased mean and radial diffusivity and decreased fractional anisotropy in corpus callosum and corona radiata. These findings parallel previous reports of psychopathology associated with childhood exposure to parental VA, and support the hypothesis that exposure to peer VA is an aversive stimulus associated with increased symptom ratings and meaningful alterations in brain structure.
