Yanghyun got her first authored paper (maternal and paternal psychological IPV and use of spanking on their preschoolers) got accepted for publication in the Psychology of Men & Masculinities.  

“Violence, such as spanking and intimate partner violence (IPV), can have lasting adverse effects on young children’s development. The study aimed to address the relationship between psychological IPV and spanking by analyzing dyadic processes between fathers and mothers based on family systems theory. Paternal and maternal victimization of psychological IPV was positively associated with their own spanking (partially via depression among mothers). However, maternal and paternal perpetration of psychological IPV was not associated with their own spanking. Thus, aggression potentially transmits from one subsystem to another in a family system. Examining family violence from the family systems perspective can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the family dynamics, which can inform the design and implementation of more effective interventions.”
