Sternberg et al. (1993) is a secondary research source that described the effects of domestic violence on children's behavior. This source of information on the topic of domestic abuse is more expansive than the previous two sources discussed. Here the impacts of domestic violence are realized through the children of domestic violence victims. As this article also expands the idea of domestic violence, it also ignores those victims of domestic abuse with no children. The article and all of its data suggest that the research that can be done on domestic violence may be infinite and can be viewed through multiple lenses all giving new characteristics to the term and creating new and challenging relationships that researchers must figure out.
The article itself reaches interesting conclusions about its effectiveness. The authors proclaimed "the results of this study have several important implications for the design of research on domestic violence. First of all, extensive efforts must be made to document the severity and nature of domestic violence to define children's experiences accurately " (p.51). The main point of this research appears to be that subjectivity is very important in determining what violence and abuse really consists of. There are different cultures being practiced everywhere in America and many of these cultures would not agree on what is violent or not. This is the problem that is ultimately presented in this source of information about this topic.
