Parent Aggression Exposure and Negative Expectancies in Couple Conversation: Rejection Sensitivity as a Mediator
ConclusionsFindings suggest that individuals who experience aggression in their family-of-origin are more likely to anticipate negative interactions with their dating partner during young adulthood.

It highlights the importance of empowerment during women’s help-seeking process and th e complexity of survivor decision-making. (Source: Journal of Family Violence)
