Resumen de Influence of caregiver punishment for anger and caregiver modeling of distributive aggression on adult anger expression in romantic relationships
Stacie Renfro Powers, Rhonda Trust Schwartz
This study used retrospective self-reports to compare two ways primary caregivers influence how their children grow up to express distributive aggression in their adult romantic relationships: the extent to which caregivers punished their children for anger and the overall amount of distributive aggression that was modeled by caregivers. In this college-aged sample, results revealed that males reported being punished by their caregivers more often for anger expression than females did and also perceived their recent romantic partners as being more aggressive. Controlling for the dyadic nature of aggression within romantic relationships, caregiver distributive aggression influenced the way romantic partners were perceived, and punishment for anger had a small impact on one's own self-reported distributive aggression.
