In the 20 years since the founding of the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, there have been exciting new discoveries on the long-term physical health effects of family violence. As exciting as these discoveries have been, we still know little about why the experience of family violence makes people sick. Some of the most promising areas of study on this topic will be in neuroscience, sleep studies, and cognitive variables such as hostility. Once we understand mechanisms, we can design interventions that can ameliorate these effects.
自《人际暴力杂志》创刊20年来,在家庭暴力对长期身体健康影响方面已有令人振奋的新发现。尽管这些发现令人兴奋,但我们对家庭暴力经历使人患病的原因仍知之甚少。关于这一主题最有前景的一些研究领域将是神经科学、睡眠研究以及诸如敌意等认知变量。一旦我们了解其机制,就能设计出可改善这些影响的干预措施。
