This research examined whether children's threat and self-blame appraisals regarding interparental conflict and their beliefs about the justifiability of aggression predicted children's externalizing problems in families in which there had been recent severe intimate partner violence (IPV). Participants were 106 children (62 boys, 44 girls) aged 7 to 10 and their mothers. Families in which there had been recent severe IPV were recruited during their stay at a domestic violence shelter. Children completed measures of threat, self-blame, beliefs about the justifiability of aggression, and externalizing problems. Mothers completed a measure of children's externalizing problems. Measures were completed at 3 time points, spaced 6 months apart. In multilevel modeling analyses, threat appraisals and beliefs about the justifiability of aggression were positively associated with children's reports of externalizing problems concurrently, and self-blame appraisals were positively associated with mothers' reports of externalizing problems concurrently. In prospective analyses, beliefs about the justifiability of aggression at 1 time point were positively associated with children's reports of externalizing problems 6 months later. The results provide partial support for the modified cognitive-contextual framework.
本研究考察了在近期发生过严重亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的家庭中，儿童对父母间冲突的威胁和自责评估以及他们对攻击合理性的信念是否能预测儿童的外化问题。研究参与者为106名7至10岁的儿童（62名男孩，44名女孩）及其母亲。近期发生过严重IPV的家庭是在其入住家庭暴力庇护所期间招募的。儿童完成了关于威胁、自责、对攻击合理性的信念以及外化问题的测量。母亲完成了一项关于儿童外化问题的测量。测量在三个时间点进行，间隔6个月。在多层次模型分析中，威胁评估和对攻击合理性的信念与儿童同时期报告的外化问题呈正相关，自责评估与母亲同时期报告的外化问题呈正相关。在前瞻性分析中，某一时间点对攻击合理性的信念与6个月后儿童报告的外化问题呈正相关。研究结果为修正后的认知-情境框架提供了部分支持。
