abstract="Numerous studies have considered how witnessing violence early in the life course influences subsequent behavioral outcomes. Few, however, have considered whether witnessing violence influences emotional outcomes, outside of specific psychological dimensions. This study considers the ties between witnessing abuse as a child and emotionality as an adult. The authors used data from a random sample of telephone interviews. In all, 375 adults participated in the survey and 67 of the respondents reported witnessing some form of physical violence between their parents. <br><br>FINDINGS revealed no differences between individual levels of emotionality for those who witnessed domestic violence as a child as compared to those who did not. Higher levels of emotionality were found for females. Theoretical implications for patriarchal theory and life-course criminology are presented. Suggestions for future research are also presented.<p />",
