“…6 The current study aimed to address all five noted recommendations with a primary focus on assessing multiple models of co-occurrence. We found the “single aggressor” model to be least prevalent; and consistent with similar studies, 18, 34 patterns involving both parents as aggressors were most prevalent.…”

Objective To examine associations between maternal and paternal use of corporal punishment (CP) for 3-year old children and intimate partner aggression or violence (IPAV) in a population-based sample. Methods The study sample (n = 1997) was derived from wave 3 of the Fragile Families and Child Well-being Study. Mother and father reports regarding their use of CP and their IPAV victimization were analyzed. IPAV included coercion, non-physical and physical aggression. Results About 65% of the children were spanked at least once in the prior month by one or both parents. Of those couples that reported any family aggression (87%), 54% reported that both CP and IPAV occurred. The most prevalent patterns of co-occurrence involved both parents as aggressors either toward each other (i.e., bilateral IPAV) or toward the child. The presence of bilateral IPAV essentially doubled the odds that one or both parents would use CP, even after controlling for potential confounders such as parenting stress, depression, and alcohol or other drug use. Of the five patterns of co-occurring family aggression assessed, the “single aggressor” model, in which only one parent aggressed in the family, received the least amount of empirical support. Conclusions Despite American Academy of Pediatrics’ recommendations against the use of CP, CP use remains common in the U.S. CP prevention and intervention efforts should carefully consider assumptions made about patterns of co-occurring aggression in families, given that adult victims of IPAV, including even minor, non-physical aggression between parents, have increased odds of using CP with their children.

“…40 However, given that verbal aggression is more common than physical aggression among families at-risk for maltreatment 34 as well as in population-based samples, this measure may be more relevant for informing efforts to prevent CP than one that is more inclusive of more physical and severe forms of violence.…”

“…First, there is a great deal of circumstantial evidence to support the possibility that psychosocial functioning (broadly defined as psychological distress and behavioral problems) underlies the links between adverse experience and suicidality. Various indices of psychosocial functioning, chiefly depressive symptoms, psychological distress, and behavioral problems have been linked both with suicidal ideation (Fergusson et al, 2003; Fitzpatrick et al, 2008; Verona et al, 2004) and with exposure to adverse experiences (Briggs et al, in press; English et al, 2009). As well, there is some evidence that psychosocial functioning mediates the effects of particular adverse experiences on suicidal ideation; specifically, this relationship has been found for the effects of community violence (Lambert et al, 2008) and sexual abuse (Martin et al, 2004).…”

Although there is a well-known link between adverse experiences and suicidal ideation, there has been little study of the effects of recent adverse experiences on suicidal ideation in teenagers. This study examined the association between recent adverse experiences and suicidal ideation in a sample of 740 at-risk 16-year-old youth in the LONGSCAN studies, as well as potential mediators. 8.9% of the youth reported suicidal ideation. Recent adverse experiences, as a class, were associated with suicidal ideation; both recent physical abuse and recent psychological maltreatment were uniquely associated with suicidal ideation. The links between recent adverse experiences and suicidal ideation were significantly mediated by psychological distress. There were also significant main effect associations between both internalizing behavioral problems and low positive achievement expectations and suicidal ideation. Recent adverse experiences are important in understanding suicidal ideation in high risk youth.

“…Similarly, for children, the negative consequences of PCA are substantial (El-Sheikh, Cummings, Kouros, Elmore-Staton, & Buckhalt, 2008; Gershoff, 2002; Keiley, Howe, Dodge, Bates, & Pettit, 2001) and occur even with relatively commonplace acts such as spanking (Gershoff, 2002; Repetti, Taylor, & Seeman, 2002). At the same time, exposure to IPA is a risk factor for a wide variety of negative child outcomes (El-Sheikh et al, 2008; English et al, 2009; Saltzman, Holden, & Holahan, 2005; Ybarra, Wilkens, & Lieberman, 2007). These relations occur for both father- and mother-perpetrated IPA (El-Sheikh et al, 2008) and are more prevalent and serious with exposure to physical IPA (Kitzmann, Gaylord, Holt, & Kenny, 2003).…”

Despite substantial rates of parent to child aggression (PCA) and intimate partner aggression (IPA) co-occurrence within families, the co-occurrence of PCA and IPA within incidents of aggression has not previously been examined. To do so, we developed the Children, Intimate Relationships, and Conflictual Life Events (CIRCLE) interview to simultaneously measure incidents of psychological and physical PCA and IPA. The CIRCLE interview was administered quarterly for approximately one year to 109 women and 94 men from 111 couples with a first born child approximately 32 months of age at study initiation. Demonstrating the CIRCLE interview’s ability to yield new knowledge about the nature of family aggression, we describe the frequency of aggressive incidents, the average number of aggressive behaviors within incidents, the daily occurrence of multiple aggressive incidents, and rates of within-incident PCA and IPA co-occurrence. With the exception of men’s physical IPA, aggression scores derived from the CIRCLE interview exhibited a relatively high degree of inter-partner reporting concordance, as well as structural validity and convergent validity with common aggression measures. Aggression reports via repeated testing were not influenced by social desirability or attempts to avoid aggression. Participants who perceived enhanced memory for aggression as a function of study participation reported increasing PCA and IPA frequencies over time. In the prediction of child conduct and emotional problems, the CIRCLE interview demonstrated predictive validity and incremental validity over traditional aggression measures. For the first time, within-incident co-occurrence of PCA and IPA was documented and shown to uniquely impact child outcomes.
