“…As diversas tipologias de maus-tratos (e.g., Higgins, 2004;McGee & Wolfe, 1991;Wolfe & McGee, 1994) consideram como vítimas tanto os indivíduos a que o abuso é dirigido (por exemplo, a esposa que sofre algum destes tipos de abuso), como crianças e adolescentes que testemunham a situações de abuso (por exemplo, filhos assistirem a violência entre os progenitores; Edwards, Holden, Felitti, & Anda, 2003;Higgins, 2004;Higgins & McCabe, 2000). Assistir a violência de um progenitor ao outro e ser alvo de violência dirigida a si, são fenómenos que aparecem frequentemente associados (Coohey, 2004; T. I. Herrenkohl, Sousa, Tajima, R. C. Herrenkohl, & Moylan, 2008;Kitzmann, Gaylord, Holt, & Kenny, 2003).…”

ResumoA violência doméstica contra mulheres afecta negativamente o desenvolvimento de alguns domínios de auto-regulação. Contudo, pouco se conhece sobre o seu impacto na auto-regulação da aprendizagem. Este estudo avaliou a auto-regulação da aprendizagem em 50 filhos de vítimas de violência doméstica contra mulheres. O grupo de filhos de vítimas apresentou níveis inferiores de rendimento académico. O grupo de filhos de vítimas simultaneamente de violência psicológica e física registou níveis inferiores nas dimensões de Avaliação e Execução de auto-regulação da aprendizagem. Estes resultados suportam as evidências de que a exposição à violência doméstica afecta negativamente o desenvolvimento da auto-regulação. Para além disso, sugerem que a exposição a violência familiar afecta negativamente também algumas dimensões da auto-regulação da aprendizagem. Palavras-chave: Violência na família, auto-regulação, aprendizagem, aprendizagem auto-regulada. AbstractDomestic violence against women has a negative impact on several domains of self-regulation. However, very little is known about its impact on self-regulated learning. This study evaluated self-regulation of learning in children and adolescents exposed to domestic violence. Fifty children and adolescents, whose mothers were victims of domestic violence and 50 whose mothers were not, participated in the study. The group of children and adolescents whose mothers were victims of intimate partner violence registered lower academic performance and the group exposed simultaneously to psychological and physical violence registered lower scores on the self-regulation dimensions of evaluation and execution. The results support the evidence that exposure to domestic violence has a negative impact on self-regulation. Also, they suggest that exposure to domestic violence has a negative impact in some dimensions of self-regulated learning.

“…Emotional abuse can refer to a relationship rather than to a series of events (Glaser & Prior, 1997), or it can be confined to parental acts that are purely psychological in nature (McGee & Wolfe, 1991). Hart and Brassard (1991) believed that the parental behavior should not be called maltreatment unless such behavior has been established to produce a negative impact on child development.…”

Objective: Reports of childhood emotional maltreatment have increased greatly over the past decade. The objective of this research was to determine the types of emotional maltreatment substantiated in a community of US Army families residing temporarily in Germany. Such a description may help to improve the understanding of how a jurisdictional body defines emotional maltreatment in day-to-day practice. Method: Data were obtained from a review of the minutes of case review committees (CRCs) for 181 cases of child emotional abuse in 1997-1998. We determined the type, number, and severity of incidents, the substantiation rate, and the situations to which children were exposed. Results: The most frequently substantiated type of incident was witnessing domestic violence, 60% of all cases. Primary emotional abuse was found in 26% of cases, while emotional abuse in conjunction with child physical abuse or child neglect was found in 14% of cases. The more severe the case, the more likely it was to be substantiated. Conclusions: Emotional maltreatment was substantiated more as a single type than in combination with other forms of maltreatment. Seeing emotional abuse as a single entity may allow clinicians to focus on a relationship or situation (such as spouse abuse) that is potentially harmful to a child. However, recognizing the emotionally abusive aspects of child physical abuse and neglect could allow an expanded treatment plan that could include treatment of the emotionally abusive behavior to
