This article reviews the state of knowledge on the development of chronic physical aggression (CPA), with the aim of identifying the most effective prevention strategies. We specifically focus on the early development of physical aggression, on sex differences in the use of physical aggression, and on the transmission of behavior problems from one generation to the other. The body of research on the development of CPA from the past three decades that we review shows increasing evidence that its prevention requires a long-term biopsychosocial developmental approach which also must include an intergenerational perspective. Recent genetic and epigenetic research has indicated that there are both important genetic and environmental effects on gene expression which start at conception. We conclude that one of the most effective strategies to break the intergenerational transmission of CPA involves giving long-term support to pregnant women with a history of behavior problems, their spouse, and their offspring.
本文综述了关于慢性身体攻击（CPA）发展的知识现状，旨在确定最有效的预防策略。我们特别关注身体攻击的早期发展、性别差异在身体攻击中的作用，以及行为问题从一代到另一代的传递。我们回顾了过去三十年中关于 CPA 发展的研究，这些研究表明，预防 CPA 需要一种长期的生物心理社会发展方法，还必须包括代际观点。最近的遗传和表观遗传研究表明，基因表达既有重要的遗传影响，也有环境影响，这些影响从受孕时就开始了。我们得出的结论是，打破 CPA 的代际传递最有效的策略之一是为有行为问题史的孕妇、其配偶及其子女提供长期支持。
