Profiles of Adaptation Among Child Victims of Suspected Maltreatment

Abstract: This research seeks to identify profiles of adaptation among child victims of suspected maltreatment using a social-ecological framework. Data were drawn from the LONGSCAN multisite longitudinal study. Participants were 597 12-year-old children of diverse backgrounds (57% girls) with at least one Child Protective Services report of suspected maltreatment (M = 3.4 reports). Self-, caregiver-, and teacher-reports were collected to assess child competence, psychological and behavioral problems, and family and nei… Show more

“…Contrary to expectations, this hypothesis was not supported. These results, however, are consistent with research on older children exposed to violence, which has documented that their behavior may vary substantially across contexts (Howell et al, 2012;Martinez-Torteya, Miller-Graff, Howell, & Figge, 2015). The fact that prenatal violence exposure was not linked to peer aggression in toddlerhood demonstrates possible domain-specific resilience for these young children, suggesting that while maternal and parenting support may be an important focus of intervention to reduce aggression in the home environment, the ability of children to maintain healthy relationships with peers may be intact.…”

“…Additionally, recent research has tried to expand the literature by conceptualizing resilience as a construct with various subdomains. For example, studies have used functioning across multiple domains (e.g., emotional, behavioral, cognitive, social, life satisfaction, school) to operationalize resilience (Dubowitz et al, 2016; Martinez-Torteya et al, 2017). For the purpose of this study, resilience is defined as adaptive child functioning across multiple developmental domains (externalizing, internalizing, social, and cognitive) in the context of exposure to child maltreatment.…”

“…Teaching is a high-stress profession, and many teachers are exposed to high levels of emotional distress at the workplace (Borrelli et al, 2014;Fiorilli et al, 2015;De Stasio et al, 2017;Herman et al, 2018;Chirico et al, 2019b). Teacher stress has been defined as the experience of unpleasant negative emotions such as anger, frustration, anxiety, depression, and nervousness, resulting from some aspect of work (Kyriacou, 2001).…”
