Journal of Family Violence, 22(8), 691-701.http://eds.a.ebscohost.com/eds/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?vid=0&sid=7ed06ccc-bdc6-43c5-b089-bf5c8f4513fe%40sdc-v-sessmgr02http://hdl.handle.net/11212/4479This study analyzed the impact of the cooccurrence of parental and interparental violence on the behavior of adolescents. Results reveal that the cooccurrence of interparental violence and child physical abuse has a significantly greater negative impact on behavior than does exposure to interparental violence only. Moreover, participants, who are both abused and exposed to interparental violence, exhibit internalized and externalized symptoms falling within the clinical range more frequently. Exposure exclusively to interparental violence also has definite impact; for example, teens who are only exposed to interparental violence exhibit internalized and externalized symptoms more frequently than do those who have been neither subject to physical abuse from a parent nor exposed to interparental violence. Implications of the findings are discussed.eninterparental violencechild physical abuseCo-occurrenceAdolescentsresearchArticle
