Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious problem in dating relationships among college students. The cycle of violence and social learning perspectives suggest that early violent socialization - inclusive of adverse socialization (i.e., prosocial violent messages, witnessing violence, or victimization by someone other than family) and experiences of child maltreatment - is one of the most robust risk factors for IPV involvement.
The effects of early violent socialization were explored to understand the underlying mechanisms that influence victimization, perpetration, and the victim-offender overlap in IPV.
Using data from the International Dating Violence Study, we examined the role of early violent socialization on physical violence victimization and/or perpetration among U.S. college students in a dating relationship during early adulthood (N = 3447; aged 18 to 25 years).
Multinomial regressions were estimated. Models were stratified across gender.
Findings indicated that 35% of participants reported IPV involvement, with 24.4% of the total sample reporting membership in the victim-offender group. Adverse socialization (RRR = 1.03, p < .05) and sexual abuse (RRR = 1.03, p < .01) were associated with increased risk for involvement in the victim-offender group. Also, there were pronounced gender differences across the IPV involvement categories. Significant interactions between adverse socialization and neglect, as well as adverse socialization with physical abuse, emerged in the male sample.
Early adverse experiences might be crucial to prevent violence, and accounting for gender differences is important when designing prevention and intervention programs.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是大学生恋爱关系中的一个严重问题。暴力循环和社会学习观点表明，早期的暴力社会化——包括不良社会化（即亲社会暴力信息、目睹暴力或非家庭成员的受害）和儿童虐待经历——是 IPV 参与的最强大风险因素之一。
探讨早期暴力社会化的影响，以了解影响 IPV 中受害、施暴和受害者-施害者重叠的潜在机制。
利用国际约会暴力研究的数据，我们研究了早期暴力社会化对美国大学生在成年早期恋爱关系中身体暴力受害和/或施暴的作用（N=3447；年龄 18 至 25 岁）。
估计了多项回归模型。模型按性别分层。
研究结果表明，35%的参与者报告了 IPV 参与，其中 24.4%的总样本属于受害者-施害者群体。不良社会化（RRR=1.03，p<0.05）和性虐待（RRR=1.03，p<0.01）与增加参与受害者-施害者群体的风险相关。此外，在 IPV 参与类别中存在明显的性别差异。在男性样本中，不良社会化与忽视之间以及不良社会化与身体虐待之间存在显著的交互作用。
早期不良经历可能对预防暴力至关重要，在设计预防和干预计划时考虑性别差异很重要。
