This study investigated the moderating effects of perceived prepubertal social support on the relationship between prepubertal childhood physical abuse and child abuse potential as well as on the relationship between a childhood history of abuse and conflict and depth in adult relationships. Three hundred and sixty-nine undergraduate men and women were classified as abused or nonabused based on their responses to the Childhood History Questionnaire. Multiple regression analyses revealed interactions of social support and a childhood history of physical abuse on both the potential to abuse and the quality of participants' relationships with their parents. Differences between abused and nonabused individuals were obtained only under conditions of low perceived social support. When social support was perceived to be high, abused and nonabused individuals did not differ in the potential to abuse or in the ratings of the depth of their relationships with parents. Implications of these findings for the intergenerational transmission of abuse are discussed.
本研究调查了青春期前感知到的社会支持对青春期前儿童期身体虐待与虐待儿童可能性之间关系的调节作用，以及童年虐待史与冲突及成人关系深度之间关系的调节作用。根据对童年经历问卷的回答，369名本科男女被分为受虐组或非受虐组。多元回归分析显示，社会支持与童年身体虐待史在虐待可能性和参与者与父母关系质量方面存在交互作用。仅在感知到的社会支持较低的情况下，受虐者和非受虐者之间才存在差异。当感知到的社会支持较高时，受虐者和非受虐者在虐待可能性或与父母关系深度的评分上没有差异。讨论了这些发现对虐待代际传递的影响。
