355 women and 173 men university students between the ages of 17 and 23 yr. completed a questionnaire which included Straus's Conflict Tactic Scales, and from which whether the respondents had experienced the divorce of their parents could be assessed. Two hypotheses were tested. First, individuals from divorced families would be more likely to report that violence existed in their current relationship than would individuals from intact families. Second, in those relationships which included violence, individuals from divorced families would report higher levels of violence than would individuals from intact families. Analyses indicated that individuals from divorced families were no more likely to report themselves as experiencing violence in their current relationship than were their cohorts from intact families. However, when the conflict tactic scores for men from divorced, men from intact, women from divorced, and women from intact families were compared, differences were found. Men from divorced families reported levels of violence for themselves that approached significance. Also, men from divorced families reported that their partners' verbal aggression approached significance and that their partners' use of violent behavior reached significance when compared to those of the other groups. These results indicate that having experienced a divorce in one's family may have a greater effect on later relationships for men than for women.
355名年龄在17至23岁之间的女大学生和173名同龄男大学生完成了一份问卷，其中包括施特劳斯冲突策略量表，通过该问卷可以评估受访者父母是否离异。检验了两个假设。第一，来自离异家庭的个体比来自完整家庭的个体更有可能报告其当前关系中存在暴力。第二，在那些存在暴力的关系中，来自离异家庭的个体报告的暴力程度会高于来自完整家庭的个体。分析表明，来自离异家庭的个体在当前关系中报告自己遭受暴力的可能性并不比来自完整家庭的同龄人更高。然而，当比较来自离异家庭的男性、来自完整家庭的男性、来自离异家庭的女性和来自完整家庭的女性的冲突策略得分时，发现了差异。来自离异家庭的男性报告自己的暴力程度接近显著水平。此外，与其他组相比，来自离异家庭的男性报告其伴侣的言语攻击接近显著水平，且其伴侣使用暴力行为达到显著水平。这些结果表明，家庭经历过离异对男性后来的人际关系可能比对女性有更大的影响。
