Abstract
SUMMARY This study explores the impact of adolescents' exposure to father-to-mother aggression on their perceptions of affinity with their parents, using a probability sample of 1,014 Jewish Israeli youth between the ages of 13–18 years. It was hypothesized that adolescents' exposure to interparental violence reduces affinity, a notion that may explain one link between exposure to interparental violence and adolescent development. We theorized that when the affinity between adolescents and their parents decreases, the role of the latter as a developmental resource will be diminished. It was assumed that affinity is represented by two factors: parent-adolescent closeness and resemblance. Findings demonstrated a negative correlation between father-to-mother aggression.
