Is the Antisocial Child Father of the Abusive Man? A 40‐year Prospective Longitudinal Study on the Developmental Antecedents of Intimate Partner Violence*

Abstract: This prospective longitudinal study examined whether early childhood risk factors contributed to explaining and predicting intimate partner violence (IPV) in mid-adulthood. Participants included 202 men from the Cambridge longitudinal study who were in an intimate relationship in their mid-40s. Neuropsychological deficits and the presence of a criminogenic family environment were measured between ages 8 and 10. Antisocial behavior was measured between ages 8 and 18. IPV was measured at age 48 using a self-repo… Show more

“…No differences were found regarding the more positive aspects of family functioning such as cohesion, expressiveness, adaptability, partnership, growth, affection, and resolve. The fact that these types of batterers shared most of the family correlates is compatible with the idea shared by many scholars that both the more general antisocial trajectory and the specialization in partner violence are related to the existence of dysfunctional families of origin (Ehrensaft et al, 2003;Farrington, 2003;Gelles, 2007;LeBlanc, 2005;Lussier et al, 2009;Thornberry, 2005).…”

“…Longitudinal research has found that exposure to violence between parents is a consistent predictor of partner violence in adult life (Ehrensaft et al, 2003;Lavoie et al, 2002;Simons, Lin, & Gordon, 1998). In this sense, Lussier et al (2009) have found evidence supporting that family environment increases the risk of partner violence, mainly by fostering the development of antisocial behavior and neuropsychological deficits (see also Capaldi & Clark, 1998). This would be in line with the antisocial/generally violent batterer in Holtzworth- Munroe and Stuart's (1994) and the high-risk offender in Cavanaugh and Gelles' (2005) typologies.…”

“…Research using unselected samples (such as student samples) shows that women can be as violent as men within intimate relationships, if not more so (Archer, 2000(Archer, , 2002(Archer, , 2006(Archer, , 2012Graham-Kevan & Archer, 2003;Thornton, Graham-Kevan, & Archer, 2010). This finding has been found for both "minor" violence (e.g., pushing, slapping, hitting) as well as "severe" types of violence (Ehrensaft et al, 2004;Lussier et al, 2009;Straus, 2008), except for the items "beat up" and "choke" where the majority of the perpetrators were men (Archer, 2002), and women were the perpetrator in only about a third of cases. Research has shown that both men and women underreport their perpetration of IPV compared to reports about their partners, but this bias is more pronounced for men (Archer, 1999), leading to sex differences being slightly more in the female direction for perpetrators' reports than for victims' reports (Archer, 2000).…”

“…Research has shown that there may be a general violent tendency in the individual which manifests from difficult temperament and behavioral problems in childhood (Lussier, Farrington, & Moffitt, 2009;Magdol et al, 1998;Moffitt, 1993: Moffitt & Caspi, 2003. This antisocial behavior and aggressiveness can continue into adulthood and be expressed in generally ageappropriate violent behaviors, including IPV.…”
