This research examines predictors of domestically violent men's aggression toward children after the children and their mothers sought help at an emergency shelter for domestic violence victims. Participants were 62 women who had sought refuge at a domestic violence shelter and who had at least one child between 4 and 9 years old. During their shelter stay, women provided data on partner-child aggression that occurred before shelter entry. After leaving the shelter, they also provided data on postshelter partner-mother intimate partner violence (IPV), children's postshelter contacts with their mothers' partners, and postshelter partner-child aggression on 5 occasions after their shelter departure (4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 months postshelter). Consistent with our hypotheses, the level of partner-child aggression before the family entered the shelter, the level of partner-mother IPV after shelter departure, and the frequency of children's contacts with the partners after shelter departure each predicted postshelter partner-child aggression. Clinical and policy implications are discussed.
本研究考察了在儿童及其母亲寻求家庭暴力受害者紧急庇护所帮助后，有 domestic 暴力史的男性对儿童的攻击性的预测因素。参与者是 62 名在家庭暴力庇护所寻求庇护的妇女，她们至少有一个 4 至 9 岁的孩子。在庇护所逗留期间，女性提供了有关庇护前伴侣与孩子之间攻击性的数据。离开庇护所后，她们还提供了有关庇护后伴侣-母亲亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）、儿童在庇护所后与母亲伴侣的接触情况以及离开庇护所后 5 次伴侣与孩子之间的攻击性数据（离开庇护所后 4、8、12、16 和 20 个月）。与我们的假设一致，家庭进入庇护所前伴侣与孩子之间的攻击性水平、庇护所后伴侣-母亲 IPV 的水平以及庇护所后儿童与伴侣的接触频率均预测了庇护后伴侣与孩子之间的攻击性。讨论了临床和政策意义。
