FAMILIAL VIOLENCE, VICTIMIZATION AND ALCHOLISM

这项提议的目的是审查暴力在世代之间传播的因果结构，并测试因果结构的替代模式。来自对酗酒儿童的纵向家庭研究(酗酒儿童的风险和应对：2RO1 AA07065)的三波数据将用于目标儿童在第一波(n=291个家庭)3-5岁的情况下。随后的波每隔三年收集一次(6-8岁和9-11岁的儿童)。家庭包括由于父母的反社会和酒精使用行为而具有发展成酒精使用障碍、行为问题和其他精神病理行为的高风险儿童。还从父母那里收集了他们在祖父母一代(即父母的父母)中关于父母暴力和酗酒的童年经历的回顾数据。这一双层设计使我们能够评估酗酒以及配偶和儿童暴力在两代人之间暴力风险传播中的作用，追溯到祖父母和父母之间，并预期从父母到孩子。这将使用潜在增长模型来完成，探索暴力中跨代贡献的假设将得到检验。家族性酗酒预计会缓和这些关系。还将评估家庭和人际保护因素的作用。

This proposal aims to examine the causal structure accounting for the transmission of violence across generations as well as to test alternative models of causal structure. Three waves of data from a longitudinal family study of children of alcoholics (Risk and Coping in Children of Alcoholics: 2ROl AA07065) will be used where the target child was 3-5 years old at Wave 1 (n=291 families). Subsequent waves were collected at three year intervals (children ages 6-8 and 9-11).The families include children who are at high risk for developing alcohol use disorders, conduct problems and other psychopathology due to the antisocial and alcohol use behaviors by the parents. Retrospective data were also collected from the parents with regard to their childhood experiences with parental violence and alcoholism in the grandparental generation (i.e., the parents' parents). This two tier design allows us to assess the roles of alcoholism as well as spousal and child violence on the transmission of risk of violence between two generations, retrospectively from the grandparents to the parents and prospectively from the parents to the children. This will be done using latent growth modeling, hypotheses exploring cross-generational contributions in violence are to be tested. Familial alcoholism is predicted to moderate these relationships. The role of familial and interpersonal protective factors will also be evaluated.
