Description
Summary:The study investigates the relation between interparental verbal aggression, parent–daughter verbal aggression, and verbal aggression in female Hispanic college student’s dating relationships (N = 599). Results showed that mothers’ high levels of verbal conflict with fathers were predictive of having high levels of verbal conflicts with their daughters. This in turn, predicted daughters’ use of verbal conflict with their intimate partner. Similarly, fathers’ high levels of verbal conflict with mothers were predictive of having high levels of verbal conflicts with their daughters. However, this was not found to be predictive of daughters’ use of verbal conflict with their intimate partner.
