Results: The rate of childhood traumas among the parents was 91.3%.

The rate of accepting physical violence as a means of discipline was significantly higher in parents who were exposed to emotional neglect and physical abuse. The anger reporting rates of parents who reported emotional abuse, emotional neglect, physical and sexual abuse were significantly higher. Those who reported having been exposed to emotional neglect and physical abuse during childhood reported that their spouse used violence against the child at a higher rate than those who reported this less frequently.
