Past research has documented a significant relationship between family violence and adolescent violence. However, much is unknown about the processes through which this association occurs, especially in the non-Western cultural context. To address this gap, we propose an integrated model encompassing multiple pathways that connect family violence to adolescent violence. Specifically, this study investigates how family violence is related to adolescent violence through violent peer association, normative beliefs about violence, and negative emotions.
We tested the model using the two-wave survey data collected from a probability sample of more than 1,100 adolescents residing in one of the largest metropolitan areas in China in 2015 to 2016.
The results indicated that family violence predicted adolescent violence perpetration. Violent peer association, normative beliefs, and negative emotions, however, mediated much of the relationship between family violence and adolescent violence.
过去的研究记录了家庭暴力与青少年暴力之间的显著关系。然而,对于这种关联发生的过程,尤其是在非西方文化背景下,仍有许多未知之处。为了填补这一空白,我们提出了一个综合模型,该模型包含了将家庭暴力与青少年暴力联系起来的多种途径。具体而言,本研究调查了家庭暴力如何通过暴力同伴交往、对暴力的规范信念以及负面情绪与青少年暴力相关联。
我们使用了2015年至2016年从中国最大都市之一的一个概率样本中收集的1100多名青少年的两波调查数据对该模型进行了测试。
结果表明,家庭暴力可预测青少年暴力行为的发生。然而,暴力同伴交往、规范信念和负面情绪在很大程度上介导了家庭暴力与青少年暴力之间的关系。
