目的：儿童时期在其原籍家庭中遭受暴力，与随后实施和受害亲密伴侣的暴力行为密切相关。然而，关于目睹暴力和随后的同伴暴力之间的关系的研究很少。本研究探讨菲律宾青少年亲身经历父母间暴力对其使用及体验朋友心理攻击的影响。方法：本研究的数据来源为宿务健康与营养纵向调查。通过2005年调查的自我报告评估了21-22岁年轻人最近实施和受害的朋友心理攻击行为；通过2002年调查的自我报告评估了童年期间亲眼目睹父母间暴力的情况。采用多项Logistic回归分析亲子间暴力对后续朋友心理攻击的使用和体验的影响。结果：约13%的女性和4%的男性对亲密朋友进行了心理攻击，约4%的女性和4%的男性是受害者。14%的女性和3%的男性经历过双向心理攻击。约44%的女性和47%的男性在童年期间目睹过父母身体上的伤害。在儿童时期目睹母性和父母间相互暴力显著预测男性之间的双向朋友心理攻击。在女性中，亲眼目睹父母间暴力并不能显著预测朋友的心理攻击。结论：暴力预防项目应该考虑使用以家庭为中心的干预措施，并在其应用中应用性别视角。建议对朋友攻击性的性别差异进行进一步的研究。(C)2013年青少年健康和医学学会。版权所有。
Purpose: Childhood exposure to violence in one's family of origin has been closely linked to subsequent perpetration and victimization of intimate partner violence. There is, however, little research on the relationship between witnessing violence and subsequent peer violence. This study investigates the effects of witnessing interparental violence among Filipino young adults on their use and experience of psychological aggression with friends.Methods: The data source for this study was the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey. Recent perpetration and victimization of friend psychological aggression among young adults ages 21-22 years was assessed through self-reports from the 2005 survey; witnessing interparental violence during childhood was assessed through self-reports from the 2002 survey. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the effects of witnessing interparental violence on subsequent use and experience of friend psychological aggression. Analyses were stratified by gender.Results: About 13% of females and 4% of males perpetrated psychological aggression toward close friends, and about 4% of females and males were victims. Fourteen percent of females and 3% of males experienced bidirectional psychological aggression. About 44% of females and 47% of males had, during childhood, witnessed their parents physically hurt one another. Witnessing maternal and reciprocal interparental violence during childhood significantly predicted bidirectional friend psychological aggression among males. Among females, witnessing interparental violence did not significantly predict involvement with friend psychological aggression.Conclusions: Violence prevention programs should consider using family-centered interventions, and apply a gendered lens to their application. Further research on gender differences in friend aggression is recommended. (C) 2013 Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine. All rights reserved.
