“…Trentacosta and Shaw [66] found that parental rejection assessed by observers when the child was 24 months old predicted selfreported delinquency during early adolescence. In contrast, another study that used similar observer ratings of neglect reported no association between neglect from 18 months to 6 years and assaultive behaviour in adolescence [67]. Yun et al [8] found that self-reported neglect, defined as being left at home alone when an adult should have been present or lack of care of basic needs before age 12, was predictive of self-reported violent offending in adolescence.…”

While many studies have observed a positive association between maltreatment in childhood and criminality in adolescence and adulthood, others have failed to detect such an association. Most studies, however, have not examined different types of maltreatment, nor taken account of other family and childhood factors that are predictive of criminality. Using data from a prospective, longitudinal investigation of a community sample of 1,037 males, we calculated hierarchical logistic regression models to estimate the associations of boys' self-reports of neglect, emotional abuse, and physical abuse at ages 10 and 12, with convictions for criminal offenses from age 12 to 24, after taking account of conduct problems, hurtful and uncaring behaviours (HUB), and parent's criminality. At ages 10 and 12, boys' reports of neglect, emotional abuse, and physical abuse, were not associated with criminal convictions for non-violent or for violent crimes from age 12 to 24. Among boys who did not engage in HUB towards others reports of emotional abuse were associated with subsequent criminality, while this association disappeared among the boys engaging in such behaviours. In this community sample of males, levels of each type of maltreatment were low and there were no direct associations with subsequent criminal convictions. The findings add to emerging evidence that the characteristics of the child and parents, as well as the type of maltreatment modify the association with future criminal offending.

“…Of these cases, 60% involved neglect, 18% physical abuse, 10% sexual abuse, and 7% emotional maltreatment. Not only is abuse prevalent, but child maltreatment in its various forms has been associated with a host of immediate and long-term adverse outcomes including depressive symptoms (Danielson, De Arellano, Kilpatrick, Saunders, & Resnick, 2005), partner relationship problems (DiLillo & Long, 1999), adult sexual victimization (Messman-Moore & Brown, 2004), substance abuse (Brown & Anderson, 1991), aggression (Herrenkohl, Egolf, & Herrenkohl, 1997), and poor school performance (Kendall-Tackett & Eckenrode, 1996). Trauma symptomatology is one of the most commonly studied outcomes in the child maltreatment literature.…”

Unique and Combined Contributions of Multiple Child Abuse Types and Abuse Severity to Adult Trauma Symptomatology

et al. 2007

Studies have documented the co-occurrence and cumulative impact of multiple types of child maltreatment on later psychosocial difficulties. Other research suggests that child abuse characteristics indicative of severity may also increase risk of later adjustment problems. However, little effort has been made to examine the co-occurrence of both multiple types of maltreatment and abuse severity within a single study. The present investigation examines self-reported child maltreatment and adult functioning in a geographically diverse sample of 1,396 undergraduate students. Results indicate that experiencing multiple types of maltreatment is positively associated with more severe abuse. Although increased maltreatment types and more severe abuse are each associated with greater trauma symptomatology, abuse severity is the stronger of the two predictors. Finally, number of maltreatment types and severity of maltreatment interact to predict greater levels of trauma symptomatology. These results highlight the importance of considering both co-occurring abuse types and severity in research and clinical work with adult victims.Keywords: child maltreatment, child abuse, long-term effects, multiple abuse, trauma A ccording to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2006), 872,000 children were the victims of confi rmed child abuse and neglect reported to state child protective services in 2004. Of these cases, 60% involved neglect, 18% physical abuse, 10% sexual abuse, and 7% emotional maltreatment. Not only is abuse prevalent, but child maltreatment in its various forms has been associated with a host of immediate and long-term adverse outcomes including depressive symptoms (Danielson, De Arellano, Kilpatrick, Saunders, & Resnick, 2005), partner relationship problems (DiLillo & Long, 1999), adult sexual victimization (Messman-Moore & Brown, 2004), substance abuse (Brown & Anderson, 1991), aggression (Herrenkohl, Egolf, & Herrenkohl, 1997), and poor school performance (Kendall-Tackett & Eckenrode, 1996). Trauma symptomatology is one of the most commonly studied outcomes in the child maltreatment literature. In fact, studies have documented consistent relationships between child sexual and physical abuse and adult posttraumatic stress symptoms (e.g., Boney-McCoy & Finkelhor, 1996;Schaaf & McCanne, 1998). Recently, emotional maltreatment has been included as an additional abuse type in examinations of child maltreatment and adult trauma symptoms (Rich, Gidycz, Warkentin, Loh, & Weiland, 2005). Given the widespread prevalence of child maltreatment and the deleterious outcomes that often result, it is not surprising that this problem has captured the attention of social science researchers during the past 30 years. Co-Occurrence of Multiple Forms of Child MaltreatmentAlthough researchers have traditionally studied single types of maltreatment, it is becoming increasingly clear than many individuals experience more than one form of child maltreatment, a phenomenon referred to as multitype abuse (Higgins & Mc...

“…Rather, children construct an understanding of behaviors within the context of social relationships with other people, particularly caregivers (Brown & Dunn, 1996). Therefore, quality of parental responses will be associated with children's cognitive development and social-behavioral adjustment (Dishion & Patterson, 1997;Herrenkohl, Egolf, & Herrenkohl, 1997;Rubin, Hastings, Chen, Stewart, & McNichol, 1998). In addition, caregivers' response styles are influenced by children's behaviors.…”

Mother-Child Conflict Interaction in the Toddler Years: Behavior Patterns and Correlates

We examined mother-child (M-C) conflict behavior during the toddler years. The nature of M-C conflict behaviors, whether conflict behavior differed by context, and factors that were associated with conflict interactions were examined. We used data collected as part of the National Evaluation of the Healthy Steps for Young Children Program. 378 M-C dyads participated in this study. Videotaped observational data at 16-18 months were used to code conflict behaviors using an event recording method. Results showed that M-C conflict were more likely to be initiated by the mothers and that conflict interactions were influenced by context of interaction, family, maternal, and child temperamental factors. In this study, we provide a foundation for understanding parent-child conflict interaction prior to age two.Mother-child (M-C) conflict interactions are common among mother-child dyads. As children's social, motor, language, and cognitive abilities develop during toddlerhood, and the maternal role changes (e.g., becomes increasingly oriented toward preventing childhood injury and teaching culturally appropriate behaviors), children's defiant behaviors and M-C K.
