根据希金斯、克莱因和斯特劳曼（1985）关于焦虑和抑郁的自我差异理论，我们调查了童年暴力与年轻人对实际自我和他们认为应该成为或理想中的自我的感知之间的差异之间的关系。早期暴力的报告显着相关的实际应该自我的差异，也与父母的实际应该的差异，但不与实际的理想的差异。这些数据与两种主要的可能性是一致的：第一，暴力造成父母的差异，随后导致其子女的自我差异，第二，父母认为其子女不应该独立地导致更大的暴力，并在其子女中产生自我差异。
Drawing on Higgins, Klein, and Strauman's (1985) self-discrepancy theory of anxiety and depression, we investigated the relation between violence in childhood and later discrepancies in young adults between their perceptions of their actual self and the self they felt they ought to be or would ideally like to be. Reports of early violence were significantly associated with actual-ought self-discrepancies, and also with perceived parental actual-ought discrepancies, but not with actual-ideal discrepancies. The data were consistent with two main possibilities: first, that violence creates parental discrepancies that subsequently lead to self-discrepancies in their children and, second, that parental perceptions that their children are not as they ought to be lend independently both to greater violence and to the creation of self-discrepancies in their offspring.
