“…Moreover, correlational as well as experimental data indicate that behavioral self-control processes (which include behavioral inhibition, planning and cognitive-set maintenance, and problem-solving) are linked to late adolescents' impulses to engage in dating violence, as well as their perpetration of it (Finkel et al 2009). Unfortunately, tests of whether executive function mediates the association between exposure to violence and subsequent violent behavior are rare (Schatz et al 2008;Shields and Cicchetti 1998), and executive function has seldom been considered in research on teen dating violence.…”

This article describes a conceptual model of cognitive and emotional processes proposed to mediate the relation between youth exposure to family violence and teen dating violence perpetration. Explicit beliefs about violence, internal knowledge structures, and executive functioning are hypothesized as cognitive mediators, and their potential influences upon one another are described. Theory and research on the role of emotions and emotional processes in the relation between youths' exposure to family violence and teen dating violence perpetration are also reviewed. We present an integrated model that highlights how emotions and emotional processes work in tandem with hypothesized cognitive mediators to predict teen dating violence.

“…For example, knowledge about child development, role expectations, and attitudes about warm parenting and harsh discipline measured prior to parenthood have been found to predict later secure attachment between mothers and their 1‐year‐olds (Lounds et al., ). Also, parenting beliefs and attitudes have also been found to predict parenting behavior in adolescent mothers of 6‐month‐old infants (O'Callaghan et al., ) and maternal sensitivity in mothers of 12‐ to 15‐month‐olds (Kiang et al., ), and pregnant adolescents who endorsed positive attitudes toward harsh discipline were more likely to have young children with self‐regulation and behavior problems (Schatz et al., ).…”

Effects of a Preventive Parenting Intervention for Divorced Families on the Intergenerational Transmission of Parenting Attitudes in Young Adult Offspring

This study evaluates whether the New Beginnings Program (NBP), a parenting intervention for divorced mothers, led to positive parenting attitudes in young adult offspring. Data were collected from 240 mothers (G1) and offspring (G2) at ages 9–12 and again in adolescence and young adulthood. Alternative theoretical models were tested to examine mediators of NBP effects on G2 parenting attitudes. Significant interactions between condition and baseline G1 parenting indicated that NBP improved G2’s parenting attitudes for those exposed to poorer G1 parenting at program entry. Effects on G2 warm attitudes were partially mediated through program effects on G1 warm parenting. The implications of improving parenting attitudes in offspring who experience parental divorce on well-being in the next generation are discussed.

“…Shields and Cicchetti (1998) found that in a sample comprised of both maltreated and non-maltreated children, attention deficits mediated the association between maltreatment status and emotional dysregulation, which was predictive of aggressive behavior. Similarly, in a study conducted with preschool-aged children, some of whom were at risk for the occurrence of maltreatment, researchers found that poor self-regulation (defined as both attentional and emotional control) mediated the longitudinal association between maltreatment risk and aggressive behavior (Schatz, Smith, Borkowski, Whitman, & Keogh, 2008). …”

Empirical evidence has accumulated documenting an association between childhood physical abuse and aggressive behavior. Relatively fewer studies have explored possible mediating mechanisms that may explain this association. The purpose of the current study was to examine whether caregiver- and youth-reported attention problems mediate the association between physical abuse severity and aggressive behavior. A sample of 240 maltreated early adolescents (ages 9–11) and their caregivers were interviewed within 14 months of being removed from the home. Results from multiple regression analyses indicated that caregiver- and youth-reported attention problems were partial mediators of the association between physical abuse severity and aggressive behavior. These associations were significant even after controlling for children's intellectual functioning, sex, age, and severity of other maltreatment types. Possible explanations for the detrimental impact of physical abuse on behavior are discussed, along with the implications of the current study's results for interventions aimed at reducing early adolescent aggressive behavior.
