Violence in romantic relationships is highly prevalent in adolescence and early adulthood and is related to a wide array of negative outcomes. Although the scientific literature increasingly highlights potential risk factors for the perpetration of violence toward a romantic partner, integrative models of these predictors remain scarce. Using an attachment framework, the current study examines the associations between early exposure to violence, perpetration of relationship violence, and relationship satisfaction. We hypothesized that exposure to family violence fosters the development of attachment anxiety and avoidance, which in turn are related to relationship violence and low relationship satisfaction.
At Time 1, a sample of 1,252 (72.3% women) adolescents and emerging adults were recruited from high schools and colleges. Participants completed measures of exposure to family violence, attachment, perpetrated relationship violence and relationship adjustment. Three years later (Time 2), 234 of these participants agreed to participate in a follow-up assessment. Structural equation modeling was used to test cross-sectional and longitudinal models.
The findings suggest that exposure to family violence predicts relationship violence both directly and indirectly through attachment anxiety, whereas attachment avoidance and relationship violence are predictors of relationship satisfaction. Longitudinal analyses also show that changes in romantic attachment are associated with changes in relationship violence and satisfaction.

恋爱关系中的暴力行为在青少年期和成年早期极为普遍，且与一系列负面结果相关。尽管科学文献越来越多地强调对恋爱伴侣实施暴力行为的潜在风险因素，但这些预测因素的综合模型仍然很少。本研究采用依恋框架，考察早期接触暴力、恋爱关系暴力行为与恋爱关系满意度之间的关联。我们假设，接触家庭暴力会促进依恋焦虑和回避的发展，而这反过来又与恋爱关系暴力和低恋爱关系满意度有关。
在时间1时，从高中和大学招募了1252名青少年和新兴成年人作为样本（女性占72.3%）。参与者完成了关于接触家庭暴力、依恋、实施恋爱关系暴力和恋爱关系调适的测量。三年后（时间2），这些参与者中有234人同意参加随访评估。采用结构方程模型来检验横断面模型和纵向模型。
研究结果表明，接触家庭暴力既直接又通过依恋焦虑间接预测恋爱关系暴力，而依恋回避和恋爱关系暴力是恋爱关系满意度的预测因素。纵向分析还表明，浪漫依恋的变化与恋爱关系暴力和满意度的变化有关。
