Psychological aggression is a widespread form of abuse in dating relationships, especially in collectivist societies with ties to patriarchal beliefs. Despite the prevalence of psychological aggression, it has seldom been studied in connection with known antecedents of interpersonal violence, including dominance, attitudes supportive of violence, and violence socialization processes during childhood. The present study sought to test relationships among these variables in young men and women. A total of 500 Mexican undergraduate students in northern Mexico reported on their experiences with psychological aggression, the dominance of a dating partner, and violent socialization during childhood, as well as on their approval of violence within and outside the family. The results indicate that the dominance of a dating partner is directly linked to male and female intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration. Violent socialization and proviolent attitudes appear to be related to female dominance. Female and male psychological aggression victimization was predicted by the participant's own perpetration. In general, a dyadic approach appears to be useful for explaining psychological aggression perpetration and victimization in a collectivist society, in light of recent changes in normative beliefs held by young educated Mexicans. Implications for future research and public policy are discussed.
心理攻击是恋爱关系中一种普遍存在的虐待形式，尤其是在与父权观念有关的集体主义社会中。尽管心理攻击很普遍，但它很少与已知的人际暴力的前因联系起来研究，这些前因包括支配地位、对暴力的态度支持以及童年时期的暴力社会化过程。本研究旨在检验这些变量在年轻男性和女性中的关系。墨西哥北部的 500 名墨西哥大学生报告了他们在恋爱关系中经历的心理攻击、伴侣的支配地位以及童年时期的暴力社会化情况，以及他们对家庭内外暴力的认可情况。结果表明，伴侣的支配地位与男性和女性的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的实施直接相关。暴力社会化和支持暴力的态度似乎与女性的支配地位有关。参与者自己的实施行为预测了女性和男性的心理攻击受害。总的来说，鉴于最近年轻受教育的墨西哥人所持有的规范信念发生了变化，一种对偶方法似乎对解释集体主义社会中的心理攻击实施和受害很有用。讨论了对未来研究和公共政策的影响。
