大量文献记录了亲密伴侣暴力对儿童发展结果的负面影响。然而，儿童暴露于IPV是否会导致适应困难增加可能取决于多种因素，包括照顾者的心理健康和IPV暴露发生时的发育时间段。本研究旨在提高我们对IPV暴露和母亲抑郁对儿童外显攻击行为发展的长期影响的理解。纵向分析（即，潜在生长曲线模型）检查三个时间点（幼儿：2-3岁，学前/幼儿园：4-5岁，小学：6-8岁），使用来自全国儿童和青少年幸福调查（NSCAW-I）的1，399名高危儿童进行。2-3岁IPV暴露与同时攻击行为和4-5岁攻击行为显著相关。在所有三个时间点，IPV与母亲抑郁症显着相关，这反过来又与更高水平的攻击行为显着相关。2-3岁时IPV暴露通过母亲抑郁对4-5岁时攻击行为也有显著的间接滞后效应。结果表明，母亲抑郁症是一个强有力的预测报告增加的公开攻击行为，这表明干预措施，以缓冲IPV暴露的影响，应侧重于缓解母亲抑郁症和促进儿童的生产性社会行为。Agr.举止得体43：375-385，2017.

A substantial body of literature has documented the negative effects of intimate partner violence (IPV) on a wide range of children's developmental outcomes. However, whether a child's exposure to IPV leads to increased adjustment difficulties is likely to depend on a variety of factors, including the caregiver's mental health and the developmental time period when IPV exposure occurs. The present study seeks to improve our understanding of the long-term effects of IPV exposure and maternal depression on the development of children's overt aggressive behavior. Longitudinal analyses (i.e., latent growth curve modeling) examining three time points (toddler: age 2-3 years, preschool/kindergarten: age 4-5 years, and elementary school: age 6-8 years) were conducted using 1,399 at-risk children drawn from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW-I). IPV exposure during age 2-3 years was significantly related to concurrent aggressive behavior and aggressive behavior during age 4-5 years. At all three time points, IPV was significantly associated with maternal depression, which in turn, was significantly related to higher levels of aggressive behavior. There was also a significant indirect lagged effect of IPV exposure at age 2-3 years through maternal depression on aggressive behavior at age 4-5 years. Results indicated that maternal depression was a strong predictor of increased reports of overt aggressive behavior, suggesting that interventions to buffer the effects of IPV exposure should focus on relieving maternal depression and fostering productive social behavior in children.
