Abstract Details

2005, Master of Arts, Miami University, Psychology.
This study examined the impact of witnessing interparental violence (WIV) in childhood, quality of parental care, and witness perceptions of self-blame on the interpersonal relationships and schemas of college students. Approximately 500 male and female students were recruited from undergraduate psychology courses to participate. It was hypothesized that the quality of parental care would moderate the relationship between reports of WIV and maladaptive interpersonal outcomes, such that the quality of parental care would have a larger effect on individuals who had experiences of WIV. The amount of reported self-blame experienced by the offspring was hypothesized to be a mediating factor in this relationship. Self-blame was found to mediate the relationship between WIV and interpersonal distress, as well as between WIV and disrupted interpersonal schemas. Although parental care was not a significant moderator of this relationship, both reported maternal and paternal care were predictors of future interpersonal distress.
