This paper takes the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey (CHARLS) as a sample to assess the long-term impacts of domestic violence experienced in childhood on individuals. First, from the four dimensions of injury from violence, negligent care, emotional abuse and witness to domestic violence, an indicator system for quantifying domestic violence is constructed. Second, the simultaneous equation of self-evaluation health and life satisfaction is estimated by the seemingly unrelated regression model. Starting with education, health and life satisfaction, the long-term impact of domestic violence experiences on individuals is quantitatively assessed, providing empirical evidence for preventing and curing domestic violence and healing trauma. The empirical research shows the following: (1) An experience of domestic violence significantly reduces educational achievements. Compared with the three dimensions of injury from violence, negligent care and witnessing domestic violence, emotional abuse has the greatest negative impact on educational achievements. (2) Domestic violence significantly reduces the self-assessed health level and life satisfaction and increases the subjective mental health risk. Based on the complexity and concealment of domestic violence, combined with empirical research conclusions, this paper proposes countermeasures to prevent and control domestic violence.
本文以中国健康与养老追踪调查（CHARLS）为样本，评估童年时期遭受的家庭暴力对个人的长期影响。首先，从暴力伤害、疏忽照料、情感虐待和目睹家庭暴力这四个维度构建了量化家庭暴力的指标体系。其次，通过似不相关回归模型估计自评健康与生活满意度的联立方程。从教育、健康和生活满意度入手，定量评估家庭暴力经历对个人的长期影响，为预防和矫治家庭暴力以及治愈创伤提供实证依据。实证研究结果如下：（1）家庭暴力经历显著降低教育成就。与暴力伤害、疏忽照料和目睹家庭暴力这三个维度相比，情感虐待对教育成就的负面影响最大。（2）家庭暴力显著降低自评健康水平和生活满意度，并增加主观心理健康风险。基于家庭暴力的复杂性和隐蔽性，结合实证研究结论，本文提出了预防和控制家庭暴力的对策。
