This study's primary aims were to examine whether a sample of young adults, aged 23 to 31, who had been documented as physically abused by their parent(s) during adolescence would be more likely to aggress, both physically and verbally, against their intimate partners compared with nonabused young adults and whether abuse history was (along with other risk factors) a significant predictor of intimate partner physical and emotional violence perpetration or victimization. In this longitudinal study, 67 abused and 78 nonabused adults (of an original sample of 198 adolescents) completed the Modified Conflict Tactics Scale and the Jealousy and Emotional Control Scales. Nonabused comparison adolescents were matched for age, gender, and community income. As adults, participants with abuse histories had significantly higher rates of intimate partner physical violence and verbal aggression than did comparison participants. Multivariate logistic regressions indicated that adults with histories of physical abuse were more than twice as likely to be physically violent and almost six times more likely to be verbally aggressive to their intimate partners than were comparison participants. Having had an alcohol use disorder, being married to or living with a partner, and perceiving one's partner as controlling were also significantly associated with physical violence. Jealousy and feeling controlled by one's partner were also significant predictors of verbal aggression. These findings underscore the importance of preventing adolescent abuse as a means of decreasing the incidence of intimate partner physical violence in adulthood.
本研究的主要目的是检验在青少年时期被父母身体虐待过的 23 至 31 岁的年轻成年人，与未受虐待的年轻成年人相比，他们是否更有可能对其亲密伴侣进行身体和言语上的攻击，以及虐待史是否（与其他风险因素一起）是亲密伴侣身体和情感暴力行为的显著预测因素。在这项纵向研究中，67 名受虐待的成年人和 78 名未受虐待的成年人（最初的 198 名青少年样本中的一部分）完成了修改后的冲突策略量表、嫉妒和情绪控制量表。未受虐待的对照组青少年在年龄、性别和社区收入方面相匹配。作为成年人，有虐待史的参与者对亲密伴侣的身体暴力和言语攻击的发生率明显高于对照组参与者。多元逻辑回归表明，有身体虐待史的成年人对亲密伴侣实施身体暴力的可能性是对照组参与者的两倍多，言语攻击的可能性是对照组参与者的近六倍。有酒精使用障碍、与伴侣结婚或同居以及认为伴侣控制欲强也与身体暴力显著相关。嫉妒和感觉被伴侣控制也是言语攻击的显著预测因素。这些发现强调了预防青少年虐待的重要性，这是减少成年后亲密伴侣身体暴力发生率的一种手段。
