Past research has documented the positive association between parental hostility and offspring involvement in intimate partner violence. Researchers, practitioners, and parents typically adopt the standpoint that parental warmth may counter these negative lessons. However, Straus and colleagues argue that parents foster IPV to the extent that they teach their child that verbal and physical aggression are a normal and legitimate component of loving relationships. A strict interpretation of social learning theory would suggest that these lessons are more, not less, likely to occur when parental hostility is interspersed with displays of affection. The present study tests this idea using data from 2,088 undergraduate students from a large university in the Southeast. Consistent with Straus' arguments, findings suggest that, rather than attenuating the negative effects of hostility, supportive interactions seem to amplify the probability that offspring will emulate aggressive behaviors in their own romantic relationships. The same is true for the effects of harsh parenting for women. It seems that the best way parents can avoid contributing to their child's chances of being in a violent dating relationship is to eschew family interaction involving verbal and physical aggression.
过去的研究记录了父母敌意与子女卷入亲密伴侣暴力之间的正相关关系。研究人员、从业者和父母通常采取这样的立场，即父母的温暖可能会抵消这些负面教训。然而，斯特劳斯和同事们认为，父母会在一定程度上助长亲密伴侣暴力，教导他们的孩子言语和身体攻击是恋爱关系中正常和合法的组成部分。社会学习理论的严格解释表明，当父母的敌意与爱意交织在一起时，这些教训更有可能发生，而不是更少。本研究使用来自东南部一所大型大学的 2088 名本科生的数据检验了这一观点。与斯特劳斯的论点一致，研究结果表明，支持性互动并没有减轻敌意的负面影响，反而似乎增加了子女在自己的浪漫关系中模仿攻击行为的可能性。对于女性来说，严厉的育儿方式也是如此。父母避免自己的孩子有机会陷入暴力约会关系的最佳方式似乎是避免涉及言语和身体攻击的家庭互动。
