研究考察了两组6-11岁儿童对不同形式成人间愤怒的反应:44名有身体虐待和配偶间攻击史的低社会保障状态量表儿童和44名有配偶间攻击史但没有身体虐待或其他虐待史的低社会保障状态量表儿童。孩子们看到了成人在愤怒和友好互动中的录像片段。愤怒的部分根据(A)愤怒表达的类型(非语言、语言、言语-身体)以及(B)愤怒是否得到解决而有所不同。总体而言,身体受虐待的儿童比未受虐待的儿童对所有形式的成人间愤怒的反应更害怕。此外,受虐待的儿童似乎对成年人之间的愤怒是否得到解决特别敏感。讨论了可能调解家庭暴力暴露和来自高度攻击性家庭环境的儿童的精神病理学发展之间关系的因素的研究结果。
Responses to various forms of interadult anger were examined in 2 groups of 6-11-year-olds: 44 low-SES children with a history of physical abuse and exposure to interspousal aggression, and 44 low-SES children exposed to interspousal aggression but with no history of physical abuse or other child maltreatment. Children were presented with videotaped segments of adults in angry and friendly interactions. Angry segments varied on (a) the type of anger expression (nonverbal, verbal, verbal-physical), and (b) whether anger was resolved. In general, physically abused children reported greater fear than nonabused children in response to all forms of interadult anger. Moreover, abused children appeared particularly sensitive to whether anger between adults was resolved. Findings are discussed with regard to factors that may mediate relations between exposure to family violence and the development of psychopathology in children from highly aggressive home environments.
