This study investigated relations between lifetime exposure to interparental aggression and (1) anxiety, depression, and anger; (2) interpersonal problems; and (3) symptoms of trauma, in a sample of young adults. Participants were 326 (219 female, 107 male) undergraduates from an eastern university. Participants reported on their demographic backgrounds, memories of interparental verbal and physical aggression, past experiences of severe stressors (including child physical and sexual abuse and community violence), and recent symptoms. Results demonstrate that exposure to interparental violence is associated with elevations in depression, anxiety, interpersonal problems, and trauma symptoms. Further analyses indicated that interparental verbal aggression predicted all symptom areas and was a stronger predictor than interparental violence. The impact of both forms of aggression was attenuated and in some cases negated by controlling for the effects of other severe stressors.
本研究在一个年轻成年人样本中，调查了一生中遭受父母间攻击与以下方面的关系：（1）焦虑、抑郁和愤怒；（2）人际问题；（3）创伤症状。参与者是来自一所东部大学的326名本科生（219名女性，107名男性）。参与者报告了他们的人口统计学背景、对父母间言语和身体攻击的记忆、过去遭受严重应激源的经历（包括儿童期身体和性虐待以及社区暴力）以及近期症状。结果表明，遭受父母间暴力与抑郁、焦虑、人际问题和创伤症状的增加有关。进一步分析表明，父母间言语攻击可预测所有症状领域，并且比父母间暴力是更强的预测因素。通过控制其他严重应激源的影响，两种形式攻击的影响均减弱，在某些情况下甚至被消除。
