In this study, the authors examined the correlates of psychological aggression victimization and perpetration among a community sample of 145 heterosexual couples. For both women and men, psychological aggression victimization was associated with greater psychological distress, anxiety, and physical health symptoms beyond the effects of physical aggression. Psychological aggression victimization was also uniquely associated with higher levels of depression for women. Trait anger and poor relationship adjustment were the strongest correlates of psychological aggression perpetration across genders. Childhood father-to-child and father-to-mother aggressions were associated with psychological aggression perpetration for men only, suggesting possible distinct etiologies across genders. These data highlight the importance of the further development of models for psychological aggression in both women and men.
在本研究中，作者调查了145对异性恋伴侣的社区样本中心理攻击受害情况和实施情况的相关因素。对于男性和女性而言，心理攻击受害情况与更大程度的心理困扰、焦虑以及身体健康症状相关，这些影响超出了身体攻击的范畴。心理攻击受害情况还与女性更高水平的抑郁存在独特关联。特质愤怒和不良的关系调适是不同性别中心理攻击实施的最强相关因素。童年时期父亲对孩子以及父亲对母亲的攻击仅与男性的心理攻击实施相关，这表明不同性别可能存在不同的病因。这些数据凸显了进一步完善针对男性和女性心理攻击模型的重要性。
