Children who grow up in aggressive households are at risk of having problems with physiological regulation, but researchers have not investigated physiology as a mechanism in the intergenerational transmission of aggression. In this article, we posit that physiological regulation, particularly during stressful interpersonal interactions, may shed light on sensitivity to conflict. It can also inform our understanding of associations between childhood exposure to aggression in families of origin and aggression against partners in adolescence or adulthood. In support of this model, we highlight findings showing that childhood exposure to family aggression relates to physiological regulation across the life span, and that reactions to physiological stress concurrently relate to aggression against intimate partners. Emerging evidence from research on biological processes during stressful interpersonal interactions raises questions about what is adaptive for individuals from aggressive families, particularly as past family experiences intersect with the challenges of new relationships.

代际侵略传播：生理调节过程。

在侵略性家庭中长大的儿童面临生理调节问题的风险，但是研究人员尚未研究生理学作为侵略性代际传播的机制。在本文中，我们假设生理调节，尤其是在紧张的人际交往中，可能会阐明对冲突的敏感性。它也可以使我们了解儿童对原籍家庭的侵略与对青春期或成年期伴侣的侵略之间的联系。为了支持该模型，我们强调了一些发现，这些发现表明，儿童期对家庭攻击的暴露与整个生命周期的生理调节有关，对生理压力的反应同时与对亲密伴侣的攻击有关。
