Growing up unequal: Objective and subjective economic disparities and authoritarian parenting
2022, Child Abuse and NeglectAdverse childhood experiences and sexual health among young adults: Examining the roles of regulatory focus and patient activation
2021, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :This is consistent with theory and research on regulatory focus, which proposes that regulatory focus develops during childhood through interactions with caregivers and has demonstrated that exposure to a rejecting and punitive parenting style is associated with the development of prevention regulatory focus (Manian, Papadakis, Strauman, & Essex, 2006). Indeed, a rejecting and punitive parenting style appears to be linked to engagement in behaviors that expose children to the adversities of physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect (Haskett, Scott, & Fann, 1995; Kosson, Schraft, Brieman, McBride, & Knight, 2020; Rodriguez, 2010). Further, in households where ACEs such as parental mental health difficulties, substance use, or incarceration occur, factors such as parental stress likely contribute to increasing the likelihood of rejecting and punitive parenting (Martorell & Bugental, 2006; Jackson & Choi, 2018; Le, Fredman, & Feinberg, 2017).
Difficulties in emotion regulation in child abuse potential: Gender differences in parents
2020, Child Abuse and NeglectCitation Excerpt :The Child Abuse Potential Inventory - Form VI (CAP Inventory; Milner, 1986; Italian version: Miragoli et al., 2015; Miragoli et al., 2016) consists of 160 items (agree-disagree format) designed as a screening tool to identify CAP. The CAP Inventory has been extensively researched and many studies support the reliability and validity of this instrument as an effective screening practice for child potential abuse (e.g., Haskett et al., 1995; Milner, 1986, 1994; Milner & Crouch, 1999). Some studies are based exclusively on general population, others on physical abusive parents or on combined groups (abusive versus non-abusive parents), with classification rates ranging from 86.5%–100% (for general population/comparison parents) and high predictive validity (Chaffin & Valle, 2003; Milner & Crouch, 2012).
Gender role ideology in mothers and fathers: Relation with parent-child aggression risk longitudinally
2019, Child Abuse and NeglectCitation Excerpt :To facilitate this understanding, the term child abuse potential was coined to estimate an individual’s likelihood of engaging in physically aggressive discipline strategies that move toward the abusive end of the continuum (Milner, 1994). Child abuse potential assesses a parent’s characteristics that contribute to their risk of employing physically abusive discipline strategies (Milner, 1994), which is associated with their use of harsh physical discipline (Chan, 2012; Rodriguez, 2010) as well as their harsh and authoritarian parenting (Haskett, Scott, & Fann, 1995; Margolin, Gordis, Medina, & Oliver, 2003; Rodriguez, 2010). Thus, this PCA continuum conceptualization, inclusive of child abuse potential and harsh, authoritarian parenting, provides a framework to better understand transitions between mild and harsh parental disciplinary strategies that may signal a parent’s risk to physically abuse.
