暴力的代际传递(IGT)一直是解释起源家庭中父母间攻击行为与随后亲密关系中亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)之间联系的主要理论考虑。根据儿童和青春期亲身经历的父母间暴力的自我报告,研究已经检验了这一理论联系。然而,还没有研究调查目前目睹父母间暴力的新兴成年人是否更有可能在自己的亲密关系中表现出暴力行为。数据分析来自南加州一所种族多元化大学的本科生(N=223)。多元线性回归分析被用来检验亲眼目睹父母间暴力对新出现的成人关系中经历的生理和心理IPV的影响。目睹这两种形式的父母间暴力的联合影响也得到了测试。为特定类型的暴力确定了对暴力代际传播的支持。提出了今后的研究方向和对预防和治疗的启示。
The intergenerational transmission (IGT) of violence has been a main the oretical consideration to explain the link between interparental aggression in the family of origin and intimate partner violence (IPV) in subsequent intimate relationships. Studies have examined this theoretical link based on self reports of interparental violence witnessed during childhood and adolescence. However, no study has examined whether emerging adults who currently witness interparental violence are more likely to exhibit violence in their own intimate relationships. Data were analyzed from undergraduate students (N = 223) attending an ethnically diverse Southern California uni versity. Multivariate linear regression analyses were used to examine the impact of witnessing interparental violence on the physical and psycho logical IPV experienced in emerging adult relationships. The joint effects of witnessing both forms of interparental violence were also tested. Support for the intergenerational transmission of violence was identified for specific types of violence. Future directions of study and implications for prevention and treatment are offered.
