“…Moreover, mothers in the negative parenting group were characterized by lower levels of ER and higher levels of anger compared to the other two groups. Parallel findings were produced by Harel and Finzi-Dottan (2018), who found that retrospective reports of child maltreatment were associated with lower levels of ER, which in turn, predicted more negative parenting practices. Taken together, the relationship between child maltreatment and parenting may be explained by maternal ER difficulties.…”

Objectives: Adults with a history of childhood maltreatment report problems with emotion regulation (ER) and parenting, which can contribute to maladaptive outcomes in offspring. The following narrative review consists of a theoretical and empirical synthesis of the literature examining child maltreatment, emotion regulation, and parenting, with an emphasis on parental emotion socialization. Method: Building upon the literature contained in the review, we developed a novel conceptual model that elucidates some of the mechanisms involved in the intergenerational transmission of emotion dysregulation among mothers with a history of childhood maltreatment. Taking into account risk and protective factors (e.g., socio-economic status, polyvictimization, teenage motherhood, access to social supports), our conceptual model highlights both direct (e.g., social learning) and indirect (e.g., ER difficulties) mechanisms through which child maltreatment contributes to problems with parental emotion socialization and ER difficulties in the next generation. Implications: Directions for future research and implications for intervention will be discussed with an emphasis on preventing the continuity of maladaptive parenting by promoting the development of parents’ ER abilities in a trauma-informed, resilience-focused framework.

“…Both Banyard et al (2003) and Lyons-Ruth and Block (1996) cited possible underreporting and measurement error as explanations for this finding. Multiple studies found that mothers who reported experience with sexual abuse, emotional abuse, or neglect exhibited less sensitivity and responsiveness Harel & Finzi-Dottan, 2018;Kluczniok et al, 2016;Lyons-Ruth & Block, 1996;Madigan et al, 2015;Rea & Shaffer, 2016;Zvara et al, 2015Zvara et al, , 2017a. Specifically, findings from Zvara et al (2015) revealed that higher education, higher income, and healthy adult relationships did not serve as protective factors for the mothers in this particular study, which emphasizes the lasting impact of childhood sexual abuse.…”

“…A continual problem in the child maltreatment and ACE literature is that fathers are seldom included in the studies. In this current review, one study collected data on fathers' experiences with childhood adversity and ratings of their parenting practices (Harel & Finzi-Dottan, 2018). The trend of not including fathers in research only allows for the examination of the parent-child relationship and the child's functioning through one parent's perspective.…”

“…They are susceptible to, and experience, depression, anxiety, alcohol and drug abuse, withdrawal, low self‐esteem, nightmares and decreased academic achievement (Child Welfare Information Gateway, 2019; Infurna et al, 2016). In regard to maltreatment history, studies indicate that experiences of childhood abuse and neglect have long‐term consequences, including later parenting behaviours (Dixon et al ., 2005, 2009; Harel and Finzi‐Dottan, 2018; Norman et al ., 2012). In one study, examining mothers' perceptual, behavioural and autonomic responses to their infants' emotional signals, mothers who had experienced childhood neglect were less likely to demonstrate the capacity to regulate their emotions and behaviour, which the authors suggest would pose difficulties in reacting and attending to their children's emotional expressions (Buisman et al ., 2018).…”

The serious negative impacts of child abuse and neglect require greater focus on understanding the factors that influence adults' willingness to intervene when they observe instances of possible abuse and neglect. This study tests whether certain reporter characteristics and experiences, such as individual and family maltreatment history/experiences and perceived knowledge of child abuse indicators, correlate with, and mediate in, the decision to intervene. Demographics and willingness to report data were collected from adults (n = 306) attending a child abuse prevention training programme in a metropolitan city. The findings indicate that perceived knowledge of child abuse indicators plays a mediation role in willingness to take action to respond to child abuse and neglect. Practice and future research implications of these findings are discussed. Key Practitioner Messages A maltreatment history was associated with willingness to intervene, and that effect was mediated by perceived knowledge of symptoms of abuse and neglect. Child abuse prevention education programmes should consider including a component in the curriculum in which personal and family maltreatment history can move to the forefront and influence decisions to intervene in instances of suspected abuse and neglect.
