Previous adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) research focused on the future effects of intimate partner violence (IPV) among adult men, as well as victimization patterns. Continuing evidence is needed informing how ACEs, communication, and IPV may emerge within the intimate partnerships of 18–24 year olds. The present study addresses a literature gap by investigating ACEs in relation to relationship communication quality and IPV, considering not only victimization but also perpetration. An online survey was distributed through social media outlets targeting college-aged adults (n = 228). Men were more likely to perpetrate and be victimized by IPV than women in the sample. However, both sexes had moderate associations between ACES and victimization as well as perpetration of physical, emotional, sexual, and cyber abuse. Poor communication quality was associated with ACEs and most forms of abuse experienced in the last year. Continued investigation of this topic is warranted to understand mechanisms for effective treatment and skill development.

以前的不良童年经历 (ACE) 研究侧重于成年男性亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 的未来影响，以及受害模式。需要持续的证据来说明 ACE、沟通和 IPV 如何在 18-24 岁的亲密伙伴关系中出现。本研究通过调查与关系沟通质量和 IPV 相关的 ACE 来解决文献空白，不仅考虑受害，还考虑实施。一项在线调查是通过社交媒体发布的，针对大学生（n= 228）。与样本中的女性相比，男性更有可能实施 IPV 并使其成为受害者。然而，两性在 ACES 和受害以及身体、情感、性和网络虐待之间都有适度的关联。沟通质量差与去年经历的 ACE 和大多数形式的虐待有关。有必要继续研究该主题，以了解有效治疗和技能发展的机制。
