The Impact of Interparental Violence in Childhood on Adults' Facial Emotion recognition

Abstract

Witnessing interparental violence during childhood is considered to be a traumatic event, which may have enduring effects on one's interpersonal and affective domains. The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between exposure to interparental violence in childhood and emotion recognition biases for facial displays of emotion. College students(n=11) who witnessed interparental violence without a history of childhood abuse displayed recognition bias for anger to a stimulus in which anger and joy were mixed. The group exposed to interparental violence in addition to abuse during childhood(n=8) exhibited recognition bias for anger when anger was mixed with joy and with surprise. Their recognition bias was specific to anger rather than sadness. This indicates that recognition bias for anger may occur generally in a group with childhood abuse history. These results suggest that witnessing interparental violence in childhood may contribute to the development of information-processing biases such as emotion recognition bias. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study, and the suggestions for the future study were discussed.
