Emotion & Intimate Partner Aggression: Processes & Outcomes in Parents & Children

描述（由申请人提供）：为了了解亲密伴侣攻击（IPA）对家庭互动的影响，本研究通过复杂的技术辅助评估情感成分和尖端的统计方法，在重要的人际背景下，冲突的家庭讨论，探讨情感过程。具体目标包括检查：（a）情绪成分之间的关联（B）情绪成分作为IPA与抑郁、焦虑、创伤后应激障碍和关系质量之间纵向关联的中介;以及，（c）种族和儿童性别作为IPA，情绪成分，抑郁症，焦虑症，创伤后应激障碍和关系质量之间的关联的调节因子。拟议的研究检查丈夫和妻子的身体和心理的IPA，并检查情绪成分，使用声音基频，面部表情，凝视，手势，触摸和姿势，在母亲，父亲和他们的青春期孩子之间的3人冲突互动在152个种族不同的家庭，在过去的一年和夫妇的历史上不同水平的IPA。将情绪成分的单独测量与线性和动态分析相结合，可以对家庭成员之间的情绪反应周期进行敏感的调查。将青少年纳入这些讨论，可以在家庭系统层面的互动过程中检查情绪，并分析冲突相关情绪对青少年心理和关系结果的影响，这增加了IPA文献对一个研究不足的发展时期的研究。在IPA家庭冲突期间，青少年情绪反应的性别差异可能与童年早期的差异不同，但还有待探讨。同样，种族在IPA家庭中研究冲突相关情绪的研究中很少受到关注，但相关文献的研究结果表明，可能存在重要的差异。拟议的研究是嵌入在一个更大的研究的赞助商对儿童的暴力的影响，并受益于有多波的数据IPA，成年人的抑郁症，焦虑症和创伤后应激障碍，青少年的内化和外化行为，婚姻和父母/子女的关系质量。随着多波数据，情绪成分可以探索作为IPA的纵向稳定性的预测因子和作为中介的IPA和心理和关系的结果之间的纵向关联。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): To understand the impact of intimate partner aggression (IPA) on family interaction, this study examines emotional processes through sophisticated technology-assisted assessment of emotional components and cutting-edge statistical methods in the important interpersonal context of conflictual family discussion. Specific aims include examination of: (a) associations between components of emotion (arousal, valence, and approach/ avoidance behaviors) and intimate partner aggression (IPA) within and between family members; (b) components of emotion as mediators of the longitudinal associations between IPA and symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD and relationship quality over a 3-year period for youth and parents; and, (c) ethnicity and child gender as moderators of the associations between IPA, emotion components, and symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD and relationship quality. The proposed research examines both husbands' and wives' physical and psychological IPA and examines components of emotion using vocal fundamental frequency, facial expressions, and gaze, gesture, touch, and posture during 3-person conflict interactions between mothers, fathers and their adolescent child in 152 ethnically diverse families with varying levels of IPA in the past year and over the couple's history. Combining separate measurement of emotional components with linear and dynamic analyses allows for sensitive investigation of cycles of emotional responding between family members. Inclusion of adolescents in these discussions permits examination of emotion during interaction at the family system level, and analysis of the effects of conflict- related emotion on adolescent psychological and relational outcomes adds to the IPA literature on an under- researched developmental period. Gender differences in adolescent's emotional responses during conflict in IPA families are likely to be different from those seen earlier in childhood but have yet to be explored. Likewise, ethnicity has received scant attention in research examining conflict-related emotion in IPA families but findings from related literatures suggest that important differences are likely to exist. The proposed research is embedded in a larger study of the sponsor on the effects of violence on children, and benefits from having multiple waves of data on IPA, adult symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD, adolescent internalizing and externalizing behaviors, and marital and parent/child relationship quality. With multi-wave data, emotion components can be explored as predictors of the longitudinal stability of IPA and as mediators of the longitudinal associations between IPA and psychological and relational outcomes.
