Abstract
ABSTRACTThe potential transmission of family violence in adults’ dating relationships was examined in a multiple mediator model among 807 college students in Greece. The Dimensions of Discipline Inventory-Adult Recall form measured students’ retrospective accounts of their parents’ discipline methods used at the age of 10, the Conflict Tactics Scales-Between Parents measured mutual interparental violence (mIV), and the Conflict Tactics Scales-Dating Relationship measured mutual dating violence (mDV). Path analysis indicated that mother’s punitive discipline affected mDV through the mediation of violence approval (VA) and negative relating to others, whereas mIV had a direct effect on mDV and an indirect effect via VA, negative relating to mother, and less closeness to mother. Adverse intrafamilial experiences may increase the risk of adult mDV. Risk and protective factors pertaining to intrapersonal and interpersonal constructs should be the target of prevention and intervention efforts to combat adults’ mDV.
