Prior research has established that violence in dating relationships is a serious social problem among adolescents and young adults. Exposure to violence during childhood has been linked to dating violence victimization and perpetration. Also known as the intergenerational transmission of violence, the link between violence during childhood and dating violence has traditionally focused on physical violence. This research examines the relationship between experiencing and perpetrating dating violence and exposure to violence in the family of origin. Specifically, the current research examines gender differences in the relationship between exposure to violence during childhood and physical and psychological abuse perpetration and victimization. Data were collected from a sample of approximately 2,500 college students at two southeastern universities. Findings indicate that childhood exposure to violence is a consistent predictor of involvement in relationships characterized by violence for males and females. The implications of the current research on policy are discussed.
先前的研究已经证实，恋爱关系中的暴力行为是青少年和青年成年人中一个严重的社会问题。童年时期遭受暴力与恋爱暴力的受害和施暴行为有关。童年暴力与恋爱暴力之间的联系，也被称为暴力的代际传递，传统上一直聚焦于身体暴力。本研究考察了经历和实施恋爱暴力与原生家庭中暴力暴露之间的关系。具体而言，当前研究考察了童年时期暴力暴露与身体和心理虐待的实施及受害之间关系中的性别差异。数据来自东南部两所大学约2500名大学生的样本。研究结果表明，童年时期遭受暴力是男性和女性卷入暴力关系的一个一致预测因素。讨论了当前研究对政策的影响。
