PROJECT SUMMARY Early-life exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) is a risk factor for later violence perpetration and victimization. Maladaptive mental health outcomes that arise as a result of IPV exposure are a large driver of this relationship. Yet, there are still major gaps in knowledge about how modifiable processes link IPV exposure with these outcomes. Better understanding this relationship will lead to more effective interventions for young, IPV-exposed children, which may subsequently prevent future self-directed violence, youth violence, and teen dating violence among US youth. The proposed Mentored Research Scientist Career Development Award will train the candidate in conducting community-based research on how modifiable parent processes contribute to IPV-exposed children’s mental health outcomes and physiological dysregulation. The candidate’s current skill set includes intervention adaptation and evaluation, the assessment of violence-related psychopathology, and multivariate statistics and longitudinal modeling. Through the current award, the candidate seeks advanced training in: 1) physiological assessment of stress responses in violence-exposed young children, 2) community-based research methods, and 3) dyadic data analysis. The candidate’s mentoring team: Levendosky, Perry-Jenkins, Deater-Deckard, Karatsoreos, Meyer, Powers, and Laws, provide expertise in: assessing IPV and its effects; neuroendocrine and immune system stress responses; community-based research methods; and dyadic family process and data analysis. The long-term goal of this training is to develop a translational program of research aimed at reducing lifetime violence exposure by more effectively ameliorating the negative effects of early-life IPV exposure. The proposed study will examine how caregiver communication (direct and indirect) about trauma, danger, and fear – termed, trauma socialization – relates to young children’s adjustment and physiological dysregulation in the context of IPV. Children ages 4-5 years (N = 125) with a history of early-life IPV exposure will be recruited from the diverse city of Springfield, MA and the surrounding metropolitan region. Trauma socialization will be assessed using a novel storytelling task that has caregivers and children read a book that deals with themes related to child trauma and fear. Caregiver behavior, affect, and verbalizations will be coded to assess the extent to which trauma socialization is regulated or dysregulated. Child mental health and physiological dysregulation will then be assessed via established methods. The proposed study is designed to focus on a novel, trauma- specific parenting process, and ultimately identify potential mechanisms by which IPV exposure leads to adaptive or maladaptive adjustment to prompt novel violence prevention strategies.

项目概要 早年接触亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是日后施暴的一个危险因素， 受害。由于 IPV 暴露而产生的适应不良心理健康结果是导致 这种关系。然而，关于可修改流程如何与 IPV 暴露联系起来的知识仍然存在重大差距 有了这些结果。更好地理解这种关系将为年轻人提供更有效的干预措施， 接触 IPV 的儿童，可能会预防未来的自我暴力、青少年暴力和青少年暴力 美国青少年中的约会暴力。 拟议的指导研究科学家职业发展奖将培训候选人进行 基于社区的研究，探讨可修改的父母过程如何有助于 IPV 暴露儿童的心理 健康结果和生理失调。候选人当前的技能包括干预 适应和评估、与暴力相关的精神病理学评估以及多元统计和 纵向建模。通过当前的奖项，候选人寻求以下方面的高级培训：1）生理学 评估遭受暴力的幼儿的压力反应，2) 基于社区的研究方法， 3）二元数据分析。候选人的导师团队：Levendosky、Perry-Jenkins、Deater-Deckard、 Karatsoreos、Meyer、Powers 和 Laws 提供以下方面的专业知识：评估 IPV 及其影响；神经内分泌和 免疫系统应激反应；基于社区的研究方法；以及二元家庭流程和数据 分析。本次培训的长期目标是制定一项转化性研究计划，旨在减少 通过更有效地改善生命早期 IPV 暴露的负面影响，减少终生暴力暴露。 拟议的研究将研究护理人员如何就创伤、危险和创伤进行沟通（直接和间接） 恐惧——称为创伤社会化——与幼儿的适应和生理失调有关。 IPV 的背景。将招募具有早期 IPV 暴露史的 4-5 岁儿童 (N = 125) 来自马萨诸塞州斯普林菲尔德多元化城市及周边大都市区。创伤社会化将 使用新颖的讲故事任务进行评估，让护理人员和孩子阅读一本涉及主题的书 与儿童创伤和恐惧有关。护理人员的行为、情感和言语将被编码以评估程度 创伤社会化受到调节或失调。儿童心理健康和生理失调 然后将通过既定方法进行评估。拟议的研究旨在关注一种新颖的创伤- 特定的养育过程，并最终确定 IPV 暴露导致适应性的潜在机制 或适应不良的调整，以促进新的暴力预防策略。
