The present study investigated the influence of parental behavior on their children's dating violence and the pathways by which parental behavior affected their children's violent acts in their respective dating relationships. The related variables in parental behavior were marital violence, child abuse, and parental support. This study identified whether parental violence and support behavior effected dating violence, and if that dating violence was in any way mediated by conflict resolution skills, depression, or delinquency. In addition, the study examined any differences between males and females that were affected by parental behavior. Subjects included 760 students from 14 of the universities in and around Seoul. The Structural Equation Model(SEM) was employed to fulfill the study objectives. The SEM results were the following: The experience of child abuse was associated with severe forms of dating violence, and was only mediated by delinquent acts. Such outcomes were consistent across genders. In this data set, in contrast to the previous studies, the observation of parental violence was not related to children's violent behavior. According to the analysis of SEM, parental support rather than parental violence was more likely to influence their children's dating violence. The lower the level of parental support the greater the negative affect on children's conflict resolution skills, depression, and delinquency, which in turn had an influence on their dating violence. More specifically, an attitude of parental neglect adversely affected women's conflict resolution skills, and increased the frequency of male delinquent behavior. In the light of these findings, practical implications for decreasing dating violence were discussed.

Experienced violence from mother is positively related to confidence in scholastic achievement in female. Experienced violence from father is positively related to trumatic symptoms and trait anxiety in male. On the other hand, observed violence showed significant relationship with traumatic symptoms, impulsivity, depression, self-esteem and trait anxiety. Most importantly, multiple regression analysis showed observed violence explains early adulthood adaptation more significantly than experienced violence. The discussion addressed implications of the findings for future research and for clinical practice.

The main focus of this study was on the effect of an experience of childhood violence and the witnessing of interparental violence on the future spouse and child violence. Two hundred and forty-two married couples and 50 married couples with indicted husbands and their wives were surveyed. The results showed that Husbands who had experienced childhood violence from their father and witnessed their father's violence towards their mother tended to inflict more physical violence on their wives than those who did not experience such events. Wives who witnessed violence between both parents' tended to receive more physical violence from their husbands than those who did not witness such events. In addition, wives who did not experience childhood violence but at the same time witnessed interparental violence tended to receive more physical violence from their husbands than those who did not witness such events. Husbands who experienced childhood violence from their mother and both parents and husbands who witnessed their father's violence toward their mother tended to be more violent towards their children than those who did not experience such events. Wives who experienced childhood violence from their mother and father and wives who witnessed violence between both parents tended to be more violent towards their children than those who did not experience such events.
