Abstract
We assessed how witnessing IPV and provocation affected decisions to engage in prosocial or aggressive behavior during peer interaction in children ages seven to 13. Children who had witnessed IPV chose to aggress more, regardless of provocation status. Treatment implications for child witnesses of IPV are explored.
