Abstract: This article reports the prevalence of neglectful behavior by parents of university students in 17 nations (6 in Europe, 2 in North America, 2 in Latin America, 5 in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand) and tests the hypothesis that neglect is a risk factor for violence against a dating partner. The percentage at each university who experienced neglectful behavior ranged from 3.2% to 36% (median 12%), and the percentage who perpetrated violence against dating partners ranged from 15% to 45% (median 28%).

“…Participants whose total psychological abuse scores (ranging from 0 to 285) fell at or above one standard deviation above the mean (M = 95.0, SD = 29.0) were considered psychological abuse victims. Although we cannot know whether individuals scoring above this cutoff defi nitely experienced psychological abuse, this method of identifi cation resulted in an estimated prevalence rate comparable to those found in similar studies (e.g., Moran, Bifulco, Ball, Jacobs, & Benaim, 2002;Straus & Savage, 2005). The Psychological Abuse subscale demonstrated good internal consistency, yielding a coeffi cient alpha of .95.…”

“…Extrapolation of the insights gained in non-Asian countries is problematic because the prevalence of specific acts of violence, their perpetrators and the social settings in which abuse occurs vary among countries and cultures. [15][16][17][18] Indeed, considerable differences appear to exist between Asia and other regions in the frequency of child sexual abuse and intrafamilial or school-based physical abuse. [19][20][21][22] The factors that potentiate child abuse and place children at risk of poor mental health might not be generalizable across cultures.…”
