通过APIM和增长曲线建模技术在新婚夫妇（N = 103对夫妇）的样本中，在婚姻的前3年评估四次，心理和身体的受害对抑郁和焦虑症状的差异影响进行了研究。平均而言，丈夫和妻子报告了中等程度的心理攻击，在患病率或平均水平方面没有性别差异。心理受害的变化与抑郁和焦虑症状的变化有关，即使在控制了身体受害的影响之后。这项研究表明，心理攻击的受害者的严重影响，并扩大了以往的研究殴打样本证明，心理受害可能比身体受害nonbattering，社区夫妇的破坏性。
The differential effects of psychological and physical victimization on depression and anxiety symptoms were examined via APIM and growth curve modeling techniques in a sample of newlyweds (N = 103 couples) assessed four times over the first 3 years of marriage. On average, husbands and wives reported moderate levels of psychological aggression, and there were no sex differences in prevalence rates or mean levels. Changes in psychological victimization were associated with changes in depression and anxiety symptoms, even after controlling for the effects of physical victimization. This study demonstrates the severe impact of psychological aggression on its victims and expands on previous studies of battering samples to demonstrate that psychological victimization may be more damaging than physical victimization in nonbattering, community couples.
