Does Parenting Influence the Enduring Impact of Severe Childhood Sexual Abuse on Psychiatric Resilience in Adulthood?

Abstract: This study examined the effect of parenting on the association between childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and psychiatric resilience in adulthood in a large female twin sample (n = 1423) assessed for severe CSA (i.e., attempted or completed intercourse before age 16). Severe CSA was associated with lower resilience to recent stressors in adulthood (defined as the difference between their internalizing symptoms and their predicted level of symptoms based on cumulative exposure to stressful life events).

“…As expected from the results of previous studies showing that early experiences in childhood affect personality traits (6,8,9,20,(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51), parental care in childhood increased resilience and parental overprotection decreased it in this study. Consistent with our results, Lind et al reported the same findings, and also demonstrated that the interaction of childhood sexual abuse with high parental authoritarianism affected resilience (17). Our results replicated the results of Lind et al and further demonstrated that resilience mediated the effect of perceived parental bonding on work stress.…”

“…Childhood adversity ( 16 ) and parenting styles, such as care, overprotection, or abuse in childhood influence resilience. Parental warmth was associated with increased resilience, whereas parental protectiveness was associated with decreased resilience, and there was a statistically significant interaction between severe childhood sexual abuse and parental authoritarianism, such that individuals with a childhood sexual abuse history and higher authoritarianism scores had lower resilience ( 17 ). Self-esteem, which is an important factor of resilience ( 18 , 19 ), is enhanced by care parenting and is reduced by abuse or overprotection ( 20 – 22 ).…”

“…Many studies also employed the Child Behavior Checklist to capture behavior problems including aggression (Holmes et al, 2015), externalizing symptoms (Yoon, 2018), and overall symptomology (Williams & Nelson-Gardell, 2012). Measures of internalizing symptomology were also common and included the Beck Depression Inventory (Lumley & McArthur, 2016) and the Symptom Checklist-90 (Lind et al, 2018).…”

“…Participants for the current study were taken from the Virginia Adult Twin Studies of Psychiatric and Substance Use Disorders (VATSPSUD; total N ∼ 7500), a large longitudinal twin study of Caucasian adults, described in detail elsewhere (Kendler & Prescott, ). Similar to existing papers with this data set (e.g., Kendler et al., ; Lind et al., ; Lind, Aggen, Kendler, York, & Amstadter, ), this sample is being used as an epidemiological sample, with analyses controlling for twin status. We utilized data from female–female (FF) and male–male and male–female (MMMF) twins assessed at two separate interview waves (referred to here as Time 1 [study wave 1 for FF and MMMF] and Time 2 [study wave 3 for FF and wave 2 for MMMF]).…”
