Abstract: This study sampled 369 middle school students with an 8-month interval to investigate the longitudinal relationship between parental violence exposure and problem behavior, the mediating role of expression inhibition and the moderating role of peer attachment. The results showed that : (1) Parental violence exposure had an direct and positive prediction for the subsequent problem behaviors of middle school students; (2) Expression inhibition mediated the relationship between parental exposure to violence and middle school students’ problem behaviors. Parental intimate partner violence could also influence the problem behavior of middle school students through the expression inhibition strategy; (3) Peer attachment had a significant moderating effect on the latter half pathway of the mediating process. Specifically, the problem behaviors of middle school students with high peer Attachment level were less affected by expression inhibition. This study provided a further understanding of the relationship among parental exposure to violence, expression inhibition and problem behavior of middle school students, and also emphasized the moderating role of peer attachment. This provided important enlightenment to correct the problem behaviors of middle school students in the future.

Key words: parental violence exposure, problem behavior, expression inhibition, peer attachment, middle school students
