目的：本文研究了在控制了潜在的混杂因素后，童年时期暴露于父母间暴力是否可以预测随后参与伴侣间暴力和暴力犯罪。方法：这项调查分析了来自基督城健康与发展研究的数据，对1000多名新西兰年轻人的出生队列进行纵向研究，从出生到25岁，在多个评估点进行研究。在控制了潜在的混杂风险因素后，观察到的童年时期接触父母间暴力与（a）心理伴侣间暴力实施和受害以及（B）暴力犯罪风险增加之间的关联在统计学上已不显著。没有统计学上显着的关联之间的接触，在童年和身体interpartner暴力犯下或victimization.Conclusions的风险增加观察到：它的结论是，儿童期接触到的interparental暴力对随后的interpartner暴力的影响是弱的，在很大程度上解释了心理社会背景下，儿童期接触到interparental暴力发生。(c)2006爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Objective: This paper examines whether exposure to interparental violence in childhood predicts subsequent involvement in interpartner violence and violent crime after controlling for potentially confounding factors.Method: The investigation analyses data from the Christchurch Health and Development Study, a prospective, longitudinal study of a birth cohort of over 1000 New Zealand young adults studied at multiple assessment points from birth to the age of 25.Results: After controlling for potentially confounding risk factors, observed associations between exposure to interparental violence in childhood and increased risks of both (a) psychological interpartner violence perpetration and victimization and (b) violent crime, were reduced to statistical non-significance. No statistically significant associations were observed between exposure to interparental violence in childhood and increased risk of physical interpartner violence perpetration or victimization.Conclusions: It is concluded that the effects of childhood exposure to interparental violence on subsequent interpartner violence are weak and largely explained by the psychosocial context within which childhood exposure to interparental violence occurs.
