Among children exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV), their appraisals and beliefs about IPV have been identified as key cognitive factors that may explain the linkage between IPV exposure and other adjustment outcomes. Grounded in the cognitive-contextual framework, this systematic review summarizes empirical studies examining child IPV exposure, acceptance of IPV, and appraisals of IPV, including perceived threat, self-blame attributions, and coping efficacy. This study is part of a broader evidence and gap map (EGM) that systematically searched seven databases for quantitative studies examining the effects of IPV exposure on all potential child outcomes. Studies were screened and coded for inclusion if they focused on IPV-exposed children 17 years and younger, used a validated or reliable scale to measure child outcomes, and utilized a comparison group. This review examined a subset of 13 studies measuring children's acceptance and/or appraisals of IPV. Findings suggest that children exposed to IPV tend to have stronger beliefs that the use of violence in intimate relationships is acceptable, with important implications for adolescent dating violence. Additionally, children's appraisals of threat and self-blame regarding their parents' IPV acted as a key variable for understanding links between children's IPV exposure and outcomes such as internalizing problems, social anxiety, and self-efficacy. Few studies examined coping efficacy. This review highlights the importance of children's acceptance and appraisals of IPV as an outcome of IPV exposure, and as an intervening factor between IPV exposure and other adjustment outcomes. Implications for intervention and future research are discussed.

在暴露于亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 的儿童中，他们对 IPV 的评估和信念已被确定为可以解释 IPV 暴露与其他调整结果之间联系的关键认知因素。本系统综述以认知情境框架为基础，总结了检验儿童 IPV 暴露、IPV 接受和 IPV 评估的实证研究，包括感知威胁、自责归因和应对效能。这项研究是更广泛的证据和差距图 (EGM) 的一部分，该图系统地搜索了七个数据库以进行定量研究，检查 IPV 暴露对所有潜在儿童结局的影响。如果研究侧重于 17 岁及以下接触过 IPV 的儿童，使用经过验证或可靠的量表来衡量儿童结局，则对研究进行筛选和编码以纳入研究，并使用了一个对照组。这项审查审查了 13 项研究的子集，这些研究衡量了儿童对 IPV 的接受和/或评估。研究结果表明，暴露于 IPV 的儿童往往更坚信在亲密关系中使用暴力是可以接受的，这对青少年约会暴力具有重要意义。此外，儿童对父母 IPV 的威胁和自责的评估是理解儿童 IPV 暴露与内化问题、社交焦虑和自我效能等结果之间联系的关键变量。很少有研究检验应对效果。本综述强调了儿童接受和评估 IPV 作为 IPV 暴露结果的重要性，以及作为 IPV 暴露与其他调整结果之间的干预因素的重要性。
