  • Title: Violence in the marital dyad as a predictor of violence in the peer relationships of older adolescents/young adults.
    Author: Cantrell PJ, MacIntyre DI, Sharkey KJ, Thompson V.
    Journal: Violence Vict; 1995; 10(1):35-41. PubMed ID: 8555118.
    Abstract:
    This study used self-report of older adolescent/young adult children from a general college population to examine if violent parental conflict tactics predict the use of similarly violent tactics in the same-sex and opposite-sex peer relationships of offspring. Conflict Tactics Scale date from 256 subjects indicate that parental violence within the marital dyad is predictive of violence in both same-sex and opposite-sex peer relationships. Surprisingly high frequencies of violence were reported within parents' marriages and by subjects in their current peer relationships. Implications of these findings are discussed.
