“…Congruent findings were found in related studies (Hendy et al 2003;Noland et al 2004;Sappington et al 1997;Slashinski (Smith et al 2003), Schaaf and McCanne indicated that female college students who were physically abused in childhood reported higher rates of physical and sexual victimization in adulthood, compared to childhood sexual abuse victims (Schaaf and McCanne 1998). Such findings strongly supported ours.…”

This study examined risk of severe physical partner violence victimization as a function of childhood maltreatment among college women. Engaged and soon to be engaged female students were recruited for the study. Compared to their counterparts, risk of severe physical partner violence was three-fold greater in women who experienced childhood physical violence and five-fold greater among those who witnessed mother-to-father violence. Victims of childhood maltreatment may encounter social and personal problems that increase their vulnerability to violence in adulthood. Physical violence is a problem among college students and is related to their experiences of childhood victimization.

“…Consistent with this theory, empirical work has demonstrated that childhood physical abuse and interparental violence exposure are associated with anger-related dysregulation in children and adults (Cicchetti & Toth, 2005; Repetti et al, 2002; Sappington et al, 1997). For example, exposure to family violence has been shown to increase sensitivity to anger in children (Repetti et al, 2002).…”

“…One form of emotion dysregulation associated with both a history of childhood family violence exposure and IPV victimization is anger-related dysregulation (Sappington, Pharr, Tunstall, & Rickert, 1997). Drawing on social learning theory (Bandura, 1973), anger-related dysregulation, or an inability to manage and express anger effectively, may be learned through the observation and imitation of others’ behaviors and through direct behavioral conditioning from parental figures.…”

Anger-Related Dysregulation as a Factor Linking Childhood Physical Abuse and Interparental Violence to Intimate Partner Violence Experiences

Objective Childhood family violence exposure is associated with increased risk for experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) in adulthood, but the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain inadequately understood. Difficulties with emotion regulation may be one factor that helps to explain this relationship. Method Childhood physical abuse and interparental violence, as well as subsequent IPV experiences, were assessed in a large sample of young adults (N = 670). Several indicators of anger-related dysregulation were also assessed. Structural equation modeling was used to create a latent variable of anger-related dysregulation, which was examined as a potential mediator of the associations between childhood family violence exposure and IPV. Results Childhood physical abuse and interparental violence were associated with greater physical, sexual, and emotional IPV victimization. Childhood physical abuse and interparental violence were also associated with anger-related dysregulation, which was positively associated with all three types of IPV experiences. Anger-related dysregulation fully mediated the association between witnessing interparental violence and physical IPV. Anger-related dysregulation partially mediated the association between witnessing interparental violence and psychological IPV and the associations of childhood physical abuse with all three forms of IPV. These associations were consistent across gender. Conclusions Interventions aimed at reducing IPV risk among survivors of childhood family violence may benefit from including techniques to target anger-related emotion regulation skills.

“…The majority of studies including CA and anger have focused on CA perpetration; however, one study found that both CSA and CPA victimization were positively associated with general anger and hostility among female undergraduates (Sappington et al 1997). A substantial body of literature has suggested a relationship between anger and IPV perpetration (Eckhardt et al 2002(Eckhardt et al , 2008Murphy et al 2007; for review, see Norlander and Eckhardt 2005).…”
