Child-to-parent violence (CPV) constitutes a serious social problem due to its short and long-term consequences, which not only directly affect the victim but also generate a rupture of the family system. In this study, direct and indirect effects of exposition to violence within the family, insecurity in the family system (manifested as disengagement and/or preoccupation), and justification of violence on CPV toward mothers and fathers were analyzed with structural equation modeling (SEM). Davies and Cummings emotional security theory (1994) was applied. A total of 904 high school students between 13 and 20 years old participated in this study. Information regarding each participant’s committed CPV was obtained from the Child-to-Parent Aggression Questionnaire. Emotional insecurity was assessed with the Security in the Family System scale. To assess exposition to violence and justification of violence, the Exposure to Violence Questionnaire and Irrational Beliefs Inventory for Adolescents were applied, respectively. Strong relationships between exposition to violence within the family, emotional insecurity, justification of violence, and CPV toward mothers and fathers were observed. The results show that adolescents who are exposed to violence at home are more aggressive in the future. In addition, this relationship is mediated, at least in part, by the justification of violence and emotional insecurity. These results suggest that prevention and treatment of CPV aggressors should focus on improving security within the survivors’ family system as well as modifying attitudes toward violence.

儿童对父母的暴力（CPV）因其短期和长期后果而构成严重的社会问题，不仅直接影响受害者，而且导致家庭制度的破裂。在这项研究中，使用结构方程模型 (SEM) 分析了暴露于家庭暴力、家庭系统中的不安全感（表现为脱离接触和/或全神贯注）以及 CPV 对父母的暴力行为的直接和间接影响。 . 应用了戴维斯和卡明斯情绪安全理论（1994）。共有 904 名 13 至 20 岁的高中生参加了这项研究。从孩子对父母的攻击问卷中获得了关于每个参与者承诺 CPV 的信息。情绪不安全感采用家庭系统安全量表进行评估。为了评估对暴力的暴露和暴力的正当性，分别应用了青少年暴力暴露问卷和非理性信念量表。观察到家庭暴力暴露、情感不安全感、暴力正当化以及对母亲和父亲的 CPV 之间的密切关系。结果表明，在家中遭受暴力的青少年未来更具攻击性。此外，这种关系至少部分是通过暴力和情绪不安全的正当性来调节的。这些结果表明，CPV 攻击者的预防和治疗应侧重于改善幸存者家庭系统内的安全性以及改变对暴力的态度。分别应用了青少年暴力暴露问卷和非理性信念量表。观察到家庭暴力暴露、情感不安全感、暴力正当化以及对母亲和父亲的 CPV 之间的密切关系。结果表明，在家中遭受暴力的青少年未来更具攻击性。此外，这种关系至少部分是通过暴力和情绪不安全的正当性来调节的。这些结果表明，CPV 攻击者的预防和治疗应侧重于改善幸存者家庭系统内的安全性以及改变对暴力的态度。分别应用了青少年暴力暴露问卷和非理性信念量表。观察到家庭暴力暴露、情感不安全感、暴力正当化以及对母亲和父亲的 CPV 之间的密切关系。结果表明，在家中遭受暴力的青少年未来更具攻击性。此外，这种关系至少部分是通过暴力和情绪不安全的正当性来调节的。这些结果表明，CPV 攻击者的预防和治疗应侧重于改善幸存者家庭系统内的安全性以及改变对暴力的态度。观察到情绪不安全、暴力辩护和对父母的CPV。结果表明，在家中遭受暴力的青少年未来更具攻击性。此外，这种关系至少部分是通过暴力和情绪不安全的正当性来调节的。这些结果表明，CPV 攻击者的预防和治疗应侧重于改善幸存者家庭系统内的安全性以及改变对暴力的态度。观察到情绪不安全、暴力辩护和对父母的CPV。结果表明，在家中遭受暴力的青少年未来更具攻击性。此外，这种关系至少部分是通过暴力和情绪不安全的正当性来调节的。这些结果表明，CPV 攻击者的预防和治疗应侧重于改善幸存者家庭系统内的安全性以及改变对暴力的态度。
