Abstract

This article employs a developmental risk and resilience framework to examine the impact of exposure to intimate partner violence on young children, particularly those facing economic hardship. In doing so, it reviews and weaves together two separate literatures, one on emotional and behavioral development in high-risk settings and the other on children exposed to adult domestic violence. The article ends by pointing to the need for further research and the promise that early interventions hold for helping children who are exposed to intimate partner violence and living in poverty.

Notes

  1. This is not to imply that modeled behavior is the only, or even the most salient influence on the child’s behavior. Indeed, there is increasing evidence that shared genes may account for (in this example) self-regulatory deficits in both parent and child. Modern behavior genetics research has shown that many assumed ‘environmental’ measures (such as social support, parenting, or stress) may, in fact, be influenced substantially by genes (Plomin, 1994, 2004).
