More than 10 million adults in the United States experience intimate partner violence (IPV) annually in the form of physical, sexual, and psychological aggression. Prior research shows that the prevalence rates of IPV peak during emerging adulthood, between the ages of 18 and 25 years, and 17% to 39% of adults report perpetrating physical aggression against a romantic partner. Victims of IPV are at increased risk for mental and physical illness, substance abuse, risk behaviors, and academic disengagement. Despite those serious public health consequences, current theoretical and empirical research has been unable to comprehensively explain the etiology of IPV thereby failing to provide guidance for effective interventions. Attempting to add to existing knowledge, the current study will examine the role of neuropsychological processing in IPV perpetration capitalizing on a long follow-up time (18 months with 3 assessments) of 160 emerging adults. The study will examine the following aims, whether, 1) natural maturation of executive functions and emotion regulation abilities during emerging adulthood is associated with reduction of IPV perpetration; 2) executive functions and emotion regulation abilities mediate the association between experiences of childhood violence in the family of origin and IPV perpetration; and, 3) there are race/ethnicity and gender differences in the associations of executive functions and emotion regulation with IPV perpetration. To maximize study external validity, half of the participants will be recruited from the undergraduate population of Queens College in the borough of Queens in NYC and the other half will be recruited from the broader community in Queens. Reflecting the diversity of the borough of Queens, the sample population is racially diverse (i.e., 26% Asian, 15% Black, and 28% Hispanic) and about 54% female. At each assessment, participants will complete measures of IPV perpetration, executive functions (attentional control, inhibition, monitoring, cognitive flexibility, planning and working memory), and emotion regulation (measured by respiratory sinus arrhythmia). Additional questionnaires will assess exposure to violence in the family of origin, symptoms of depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, substance use, and antisocial behaviors, which will be controlled in the data analyses. The associations of executive functions, emotion regulation with IPV (aim 1) will be analyzed with Growth Curve Models (GCM) in Mplus version 8.0 that will examine covariation of executive functions/emotion regulation maturation and IPV perpetration over the three time points. Aim 2 will be assessed with mediation, and aim 3 with moderation analyses in GCM. If assumptions for Structural Equation Modeling are met, latent factors of executive functions/emotion regulation will be built, and included in GCM analyses instead of manifest variables. The findings of the current longitudinal study will fill the gap in the field’s knowledge of the role maturing executive functions and emotion regulation play in IPV perpetration during emerging adulthood. This information will aid in the development of more effective IPV interventions.

美国每年有超过1000万成年人经历亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）， 身体性和心理上的侵犯先前的研究表明，IPV的患病率高峰 在18至25岁的成年期，17%至39%的成年人报告说， 对伴侣进行身体攻击IPV的受害者在精神和 身体疾病、药物滥用、危险行为和学术脱离。尽管这些严重的公众 健康后果，目前的理论和实证研究一直无法全面解释 IPV的病因学，从而未能提供有效干预的指导。正在尝试添加到现有 知识，目前的研究将探讨神经心理加工的作用，IPV犯 利用160名新生儿成年人的长期随访时间（18个月，3次评估）。这项研究将 检查以下目标，是否：1）执行功能和情绪调节的自然成熟 在成年期出现的能力与IPV犯罪的减少有关; 2）执行功能， 情绪调节能力介导了家庭中儿童暴力经历之间的关联， 起源和IPV犯罪;和，3）在种族/民族和性别差异的协会， 执行功能和情绪调节与IPV犯。为了最大限度地提高研究的外部效度， 参与者将从皇后学院的本科生中招募， 另一半将从皇后区更广泛的社区招募。反映 皇后区的多样性，样本人口是种族多样的（即，26%亚洲人，15%黑人， 28%为西班牙裔，约54%为女性。在每次评估中，参与者将完成IPV的测量 执行功能（注意力控制，抑制，监控，认知灵活性，计划和 工作记忆）和情绪调节（通过呼吸性窦性心律不齐测量）。额外 调查问卷将评估在家庭中的暴力暴露，抑郁症，焦虑症， 创伤后压力，物质使用和反社会行为，这些将在数据分析中得到控制。 执行功能、情绪调节与IPV（目标1）的关系将用Growth进行分析 Mplus 8.0版中的曲线模型（GCM），将检查执行功能/情绪的协变 在三个时间点上的调节成熟和IPV实施。目标2将通过调解进行评估， 和aim 3进行了大气环流模型的适度化分析。如果满足结构方程模型的假设， 执行功能/情绪调节的因素将被建立，并包括在GCM分析中，而不是 manifest变量目前的纵向研究结果将填补该领域对这一问题的认识的差距。 成熟的执行功能和情绪调节在成年期IPV发生中的作用。 这些信息将有助于制定更有效的IPV干预措施。
