“…In terms of validity, there is evidence that CAPI scores are associated with documented risk factors for child abuse (Budd, Heilman, & Kane, 2000;grietens, De Haene, & Uyteeborek, 2007;Haskett, Scott, & Fann, 1995). Also there is evidence that the composite Abuse scale can successfully discriminate between proven abusers and control subjects (Milner & Wimberley, 1980), and this extends across cultural groups (Haz & Ramirez, 1998). Finally, the Abuse scale has proven to be sensitive to the effects of intervention with high-risk parents (Wolfe, Edwards, Manion, & Koverola, 1988).…”

“…Therefore, it appears that the CAPI provides a reliable method of assessing dysfunctional elements of a child's family environment, including several aspects of parental stress that are associated with child abuse. In addition, the composite Abuse scale does seem to be an index of risk for abuse, although it is important to recognize that many parents who score high on the CAPI have no documented evidence of abuse in the home (i.e., false positive) (Haz & Ramirez, 1998).…”

“…Studies outside the USA have examined the factor structure of the CAPI but could not replicate the original six factor structure reported by Milner (1986) (Diareme et al 1997;Haz and Ramirez 1998;Kawamura et al 2009;Uslu et al 2010). Most studies using the CAPI therefore use the total CAPI Abuse scale as this scale appears to be valid and reliable across different cultural populations (Walker and Davies 2010).…”

Childhood Maltreatment Experiences and Child Abuse Potential: Temperamental Sensitivity as Moderator?

et al. 2014

This study aimed to examine the relationship between negative experiences in childhood (physical-, sexual-, and emotional abuse and emotional neglect) and the risk for an individual to become a perpetrator of child maltreatment in adulthood. Participants were 337 female college students who completed self-report measures of childhood trauma and temperament. Risk for child abuse was assessed with the Child Abuse Potential Inventory. Results showed experiences of emotional neglect significantly predicted higher child abuse potential. Additionally it was shown that experiences of physical abuse significantly predicted higher child abuse potential but only in those individuals with high temperamental orienting sensitivity. These results underline the potentially damaging long-term effects of emotional neglect in childhood and indicate temperamental sensitivity may moderate the relationship between being abused as a child and being at risk for maltreating one's own offspring.

“…It has been tested and validated with a number of ethnic groups, including Native Americans, African Americans and Hispanic Americans. The CAP Inventory has been translated and normed in other countries with non‐Americans, for example, Spain (de Paúl et al ., ), Croatia (Pečnik and Ajduković, ), Greece (Diareme et al ., ), Japan (Kawamura et al ., ), Chile (Haz and Ramirez, ), Turkey (Kutsal et al ., ) and Southeast Asia (Mouanoutoua, ). International cross‐validation studies have found that the Abuse scale score correctly discriminates between abusive and non‐abusive individuals across a wide variety of cultures and that it has a similar factorial structure outlined by Milner ().…”

Child Abuse Review

Assessing for potential physical abuse is a fundamental task for those professionals undertaking assessments of parents involved in care proceedings. One tool developed to help assist in this endeavour is the Child Abuse Potential (CAP) Inventory (Milner, , ). The CAP Inventory provides an estimate of parental risk of child abuse and is one of the most widely used psychometric tools by psychologists in child protection settings. This review evaluates the psychometric properties of this measure and provides an overview of its potential uses, as well as its limitations. It concludes that there is evidence to support the validity and reliability of the CAP Inventory for use in care proceedings. Specifically, the review indicates that the CAP Inventory has good levels of reliability and validity (construct, content and concurrent). The only aspect of validity for which there is a lack of evidence is that of predictive validity and this is due to a dearth of prospective studies. Given the above, the practical, clinical and ethical implications for the use of the CAP Inventory in the assessment of parents involved in care proceedings are discussed.
