Adverse and Protective Childhood Experiences and Parenting Attitudes: the Role of Cumulative Protection in Understanding Resilience

Abstract: Theory and research indicate that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are linked to negative parenting attitudes and behaviors. We posit that protective and compensatory experiences (PACEs) in childhood buffer the negative effects of ACEs on later parenting. To test this premise, the present study examined associations between ACEs, PACEs, and attitudes towards nurturing and harsh parenting in an ethnically diverse sample of parents with children of various ages (N = 109; 65% mothers, 35% fathers; M age = 38)… Show more

“…This research shows that cumulative protective factors can buffer against the deleterious effects of ACEs and promote healthy youth development (Hays-Grudo et al, 2021;Syvertsen et al, 2019;Morris et al, 2021;Bethell et al, 2019). Moreover, this research indicates that the interaction of ACEs and cumulative protective factors plays a pivotal role in adolescent health, as risk for poor health and developmental outcomes is highest for those who report high ACEs and few protective factors (Morris et al, 2021;Bethell et al, 2019). Consequently, the presence of ACEs increases risk for negative health outcomes such as depression, cumulative protection can encourage the process of positive outcomes despite risk, and risk is highest for those who experience adversity and low cumulative protection.…”

“…The DAF contends that multiple assets can be integrated into a single prevalence estimate that captures cumulative assets, or the number of assets present in an individual's life, helping local public health agencies consider a range of factors rather than attempting to prioritize a single asset to track. A growing area of research takes seminal developmental work (e.g., Cicchetti et al, 2000;Masten, 2001;Rutter, 1987;Sameroff, 1975;Werner & Smith, 1992), and expands it by measuring and assessing the impact of cumulative protective factors among youth (Bethell et al, 2019;Hays-Grudo et al, 2021;Morris et al, 2021;Syvertsen et al, 2019). This research shows that cumulative protective factors can buffer against the deleterious effects of ACEs and promote healthy youth development (Hays-Grudo et al, 2021;Syvertsen et al, 2019;Morris et al, 2021;Bethell et al, 2019).…”

“…The ACEs typically examined are family based (as in the original study [22]), but there are clearly peer-based traumas such as bullying and ostracism, and researchers are just beginning to look at those in conjunction with family ACEs [23,24]. However, family and peer relationships also might serve a mediation or moderating role, in other words, serve as "protective and compensatory experiences" (PACEs; [25]) to mitigate risk and to increase the chances of resilience.…”
