Abstract

A sample of ethnically diverse college students reported on household family violence occurring when they were between the ages of 8 and 17. Parents and siblings were reported to engage in violent acts at a similar rate significantly higher than that of other relatives living in the home. Rates of violence exposure showed a small but statistically significant increase when other relatives in the home were included. Within families, there was a strong positive association between amount of violence committed by parents and siblings, verbal and physical violence, and direct and indirect violence. This study provides an innovative method for family violence data collection and points to the importance of including all household members in family violence estimates.

Keywords: parental violence; sibling violence; family member violence; multigenerational households; within-family violence relationships
