It is well established that children in homes where interparental violence is present are at increased risk for psychosocial (i.e., internalizing, externalizing, and attention) difficulties. However, previous studies have provided a limited view on the variety of factors that commonly co-occur in these environments (e.g., other characteristics of the parents and family) and how they may collectively impact children. Knowing this information could have implications for parental interventions aimed at preventing the continuation or initiation of psychosocial problems in children. Thus, the present study simultaneously examined the association between father-perpetrated interparental aggression, father characteristics, and child psychosocial functioning in a sample of 145 men arrested for domestic violence. Results showed that of all the variables examined, paternal antisocial personality traits and interpersonal hostility were uniquely associated with overall child psychosocial impairment, externalizing problems, and attention problems. Implications for intervention programs are discussed.
众所周知,在存在父母间暴力的家庭中,孩子出现心理社会问题(即内化、外化和注意力问题)的风险会增加。然而,以往的研究对这些环境中常见的各种共同出现的因素(例如父母和家庭的其他特征)以及它们如何共同影响孩子的情况提供的见解有限。了解这些信息可能会对旨在预防儿童心理社会问题持续或发生的父母干预措施产生影响。因此,本研究同时考察了在145名因家庭暴力被捕的男性样本中,父亲实施的父母间攻击行为、父亲特征与儿童心理社会功能之间的关联。结果显示,在所有考察的变量中,父亲的反社会人格特质和人际敌意与儿童整体心理社会损伤、外化问题和注意力问题存在独特关联。文中还讨论了对干预项目的启示。
