INTERGENERATIONAL TRANSMISSION OF VIOLENT IDEATIONS

The filial maturity of the child plays a very important role in the wide disconnect that exists between parents and their children. It can explain the extent to which a child may be willing to emulate the actions or thought processes of their parents. Studies have shown that violence can be hereditary and hence continue from one generation to the next irrespective of the environment, only up to a certain extent. The need of the study is to understand the extent to which violent ideations can be hereditary or be impacted by one’s affiliation with their parents and the relationship that they maintain with each other. The results (n=23) showed no significant correlation between the PACQ variables of regard, responsibility and control with the VIS score of the participant. The VIS score of the adult child and their mother and father (n=6) showed no significant similarities either.

子女的孝亲成熟度在父母与子女间普遍存在的亲子隔阂中发挥着至关重要的作用。该指标可阐释子女愿意效仿父母行为与思维模式的程度。已有研究证实，暴力行为具有遗传性，可在代际间延续，且该现象不受环境因素影响，但仅在一定范围内成立。本研究旨在探究暴力意念在多大程度上具有遗传性，或是受个体与父母的联结关系以及亲子间维系的互动关系所影响。研究结果（有效样本量n=23）显示，参与者的PACQ关怀、责任与控制变量与其VIS得分之间不存在显著相关性。成年子女及其父母（有效样本量n=6）的VIS得分同样未呈现显著相似性。
