“…In addition, the literature on general violent behavior has indicated that this variable is specifically linked to reactive violence (Poulin and Boivin, 2000). Our study provides additional evidence on this topic, since anger was positively correlated with CPV toward the father and toward the mother motivated by reactive reasons, which is consistent with the study by Contreras et al (2020). Therefore, although some studies have previously analyzed hostile attribution and anger in the context of CPV, our data further delve into the relationship between these variables and this type of family violence, showing its specific relationship with reactive CPV toward both fathers and mothers.…”

“…These results are confirmed in samples of young people aged 18-25 years, with anger being a predictor of CPV toward both parents (Simmons et al, 2020). Other studies have delved further into this variable, indicating that anger predicts reactive CPV toward both the father and the mother (Contreras et al, 2020).…”

“…These types of abuse can occur at the same time, and in fact, they overlap to a certain extent (Cottrell, 2001), resulting in an escalation of violence from psychological abuse to more severe form of violence such as physical abuse (Cottrell, 2001;Eckstein, 2004). In addition, in line with what has been indicated for other types of violence that manifest in other contexts, different authors have pointed out that CPV can be reactive or instrumental (Calvete et al, 2015;Calvete and Orue, 2016;Contreras et al, 2019Contreras et al, , 2020. Reactive violence is characterized by anger (Poulin and Boivin, 2000) and hostile attributions (Orobio de Castro et al, 2002;Arsenio et al, 2009) and is a response to a previous provocation, real or perceived (Crick and Dodge, 1996).…”

“… Contreras and Cano-Lozano (2015 , 2016) , in their studies of forensic samples, indicated that minors who had committed CPV offenses presented a more hostile perception of their parents and their home in general than other juvenile offenders and non-offenders. The literature on general violent behavior indicates that hostile attribution is linked to reactive violence ( Orobio de Castro et al, 2002 ; Arsenio et al, 2009 ), although in a previous study on CPV, this specific relationship with reactive violence was not found ( Contreras et al, 2020 ), so it is necessary to continue investigating this issue. Regarding emotional variables, adolescents who assault their parents often have emotional difficulties, specifically in controlling ( Beckman et al, 2017 ), identifying, and expressing their emotions ( Martínez-Ferrer et al, 2018 ).…”

“…Girls were also more victims of IPV, though it is important to keep in mind that the search for information may already have been skewed by the sex of the person assessed as far as it is a variable designed, initially, for girls. Violence exposure at home affects social cognitive pro-cessing and should be included in CPV prevention and treatment plans (Contreras, León, & Cano-Lozano, 2020).…”

La violencia filio-parental (VFP) ha suscitado un enorme interés académico. Pese a ello, pocos estudios comparan los factores de riesgo de chicos y chicas implicados en estas agresiones a sus progenitores. El presente trabajo compara 56 chicos y 35 chicas agresores evaluados con la Guía para la Valoración del Riesgo de Violencia Filio-Parental (RVFP). Las chicas provenían de forma significativa de contextos más problemáticos (con bidireccionalidad de la violencia, violencia entre los progenitores, problemas de convivencia y problemas en los progenitores) y tenían significativamente menos autoestima. Los chicos presentaron significativamente más historial de problemas de abusos de sustancias y mayor escalada en la violencia. En conjunto, ambos sexos presentaban prevalencias similares en la mayoría de las variables, su violencia era comparable (aunque las lesiones a los padres fueron exclusivas de los chicos) y las familias eran más problemáticas en ellas. La predicción de las lesiones a la madre con la puntuación del RVFP fue significativa en el caso de los varones (AUC = ,842) pero no en el caso de ellas (AUC = ,660). Los resultados justifican el uso de tratamientos y herramientas comunes en chicos y chicas implicados en VFP, aunque se discuten desarrollos aún necesarios en la materia. Child-to-parent violence (CPV) has attracted enormous academic interest. Despite this, few studies compare the risk factors between female and male perpetrators of this abuse toward parents. This paper compares 56 male and 35 female CPV offenders, evaluated with the Child-to-Parent Violence Risk assessment tool (CPVR). Results show that girls came from significantly more problematic contexts (with bidirectionality of violence, violence between parents, cohabitation problems and personal problems of parents, and had significantly lower self-esteem. Boys had significantly more histories of substance abuse issues and greater rates of escalation of violence. Overall, both sexes had similar prevalence rates for most variables, the type of violence committed was comparable (although injuries toward fathers were only perpetrated by boys), and female perpetrators had more problematic families than their male counterparts. CPVR scores significantly predicted injuries toward the mother for male offenders (AUC = .842), but not for female offenders (AUC = .660). These results support the use of common treatments and tools for female and male CPV offenders. Future steps and developments in the field are also discussed.

During the past decade, video games have become the main industrial entertainment sector, although research on the effects of violence in video games on juvenile aggressiveness has raised concerns that they may pose a significant social risk. The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship of exposure to violent video games, pathological video-gaming, and justification of violence with the perpetration of Child-to-Parent Violence (CPV) against the mother and the father, controlling for the sex, educational level, and violent TV exposure of the participant. The sample consisted of 439 students from Compulsory Secondary Education, (238 boys and 201 girls), aged between 13 and 18. Exposure to video games was assessed through an author-elaborated questionnaire, violence justification, and pathological video-gaming were evaluated with the Exposure to Violence Questionnaire and the Assessment of Pathological Computer-Gaming, respectively, and CPV was assessed through the Child-to-Parent Aggression Questionnaire. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that pathological video-gaming and, specially, justification of violence, were related to the perpetration of CPV against both mothers and fathers. However, a relationship of exposure to violent video games and violence on TV with the perpetration of CPV was not found. These results suggest a potential new target for CPV prevention, as well as for the treatment of juvenile offenders.
