“…Moreover, in the statistical model the socio-demographic variables were also important. Thus, the role of environmental stressors such as a low family income, employment and marital status and/or the number of children at home, together with the previous history of physical victimization could partially explain the potential risk of becoming physical assault perpetrators (Uslu et al, 2010). Hence, our results supported previous findings which proposed that physically abusive families had more often significantly low income and less education, parents were younger, and more frequently presented a family history of physical victimization (Caliso & Milner, 1992;de Paúl & Domenech, 2000;Whipple & Webster-Stratton, 1991;Wolfe et al, 1988).…”

“…These results could be explained because mothers tend to bear a larger share of parenting responsibilities in two-parent families and spend significantly more time caring for children (Appel & Holden, 1998 Health & Human Services, 2006). Social learning theories sustain that maltreated parents apply the same procedures they learned from their own parents or in their context (Coulton, Korbin, Su, & Chow, 1995;Kotch et al, 1995;Muller et al, 1995;Schellenbach, Whitman, & Borkowski, 1992;Schluter et al, 2011;Uslu et al, 2010). Attending to the attachment theory, parents who maltreat their own children present insecure and disorganized attachments as a result of their own experience with their parent's sensitivity and responsiveness (Amos et al, 2011).…”

“…However, physical abuse was not significantly associated with later parenting in fathers (Sandberg, Feldhousenb, & Busbya, 2012). Typically, more mothers use physical punishment than fathers (Ferrari, 2002;Uslu, Kapci, Yildirim, & Oney, 2010), although fathers were highly over-represented as perpetrators of physical child abuse, particularly in its most severe forms (Guterman & Lee, 2005). However, some studies did not show differences between fathers and mothers as perpetrators of abuse on their offspring (Browne & Hamilton, 1998;Nobes, Smith, Upton, & Heverin, 1999).…”

It has been suggested that being physically abused leads to someone becoming a perpetrator of abuse which could be associated to parents' gender, timing of the physical abuse and specific socio-demographic variables. This study aims to investigate the role the parents' gender, timing of childhood abuse and socio-demographic variables on the relationship between parents' history of childhood physical abuse and current risk for children. The sample consisted of 920 parents (414 fathers, 506 mothers) from the Portuguese National Representative Study of Psychosocial Context of Child Abuse and Neglect who completed the Childhood History Questionnaire and the Child Abuse Potential Inventory. The results showed that fathers had lower current potential risk of becoming physical abuse perpetrators with their children than mothers although they did not differed in their physical victimization history. Moreover, the risk was higher in parents (both genders) with continuous history of victimization than in parents without victimization. Prediction models showed that for fathers and mothers separately similar socio-demographic variables (family income, number of children at home, employment status and marital status) predicted the potential risk of becoming physical abuses perpetrators. Nevertheless, the timing of victimization was different for fathers (before 13 years old) and mothers (after 13 years old). Then our study targets specific variables (timing of physical abuse, parents' gender and specific socio-demographic variables), which may enable professionals to select groups of parents at greater need of participating in abuse prevention programs.

“…The greater the number of individuals living in the family or sharing a bed and room with parents, siblings, guests, and other friends or relatives, the more likely children were to suffer from sexual abuse [13,14,18]. In addition, being part of a crowded family was statistically significant in the likelihood of children being sexually abused.…”

“…Generally, men are considered to be more likely to engage in aggressive behaviours than women (Archer 2004). Further, lack of experience and psychological maturity, as often seen in young parents, have been associated with child maltreatment (Uslu et al 2010), and smokers tend to have lower self-directedness than non-smokers (Etter 2010). These characteristics can be associated with the acceptance of verbal or physical abuse from coaches.…”

Verbal or physical abuse from coaches has negative effects on young athletes, and the parents of athletes also have an influence on the sports environment. It is therefore important to understand parents' attitudes towards abuse against their children from the coaches. This study aimed to elucidate the characteristics of parents who accept the infliction of verbal or physical abuse on their children from coaches of youth sports teams. A cross-sectional study using self-report questionnaires was conducted with parents of young athletes (n = 6,493). Multivariate logistic regression models were used to assess the factors associated with parents' acceptability of verbal or physical abuse against their children. The proportion of parents who were accepting of verbal or physical abuse was 21.5%. Acceptability of verbal or physical abuse was significantly associated with male (odds ratio: 1.67, 95% confidence interval: 1.43-1.95), younger age (1.24, 1.09-1.41), lower educational attainment (1.32, 1.17-1.50), smoking habits (1.42, 1.23-1.63), experience of playing on a team with high levels of competition during their junior or high school days (1.31, 1.15-1.50), and experience of verbal and physical abuse by their own former coaches (3.59, 3.03-4.26 and 1.17, 1.02-1.35). About 58% and 28% of parents had experienced verbal and physical abuse from their own former coaches, and parents who had experienced verbal abuse themselves were most likely to be accepting of verbal or physical abuse towards their children. Educating parents is considered to be important for preventing and eradicating abuse against young athletes.
