Abstract

Objective

To explore a typology of dyads experiencing child-to-parent violence (CPV) using the function of CPV (i.e., its motivation).

Background

CPV may be motivated by reactive (i.e., retaliatory), proactive (i.e., instrumental), or affective (i.e., primarily emotional) functions, which may co-occur intraindividually; however, their co-occurrence pattern is not fully understood.

Method

This study included 252 participants aged 27 to 78 years (M = 45.92, SD = 8.33; 96% female) who were caregivers of a young person aged 5 to 24 years (M = 13.18, SD = 4.86) and completed an online survey measuring the form and function of CPV and a range of child, parent, and dyadic factors. The majority of dyads were mother–child.

Results

Latent profile analysis revealed two distinct types of dyads: High-proactive dyads reported severe, highly reactive and proactive CPV compared with low-proactive dyads in which proactive CPV was rare and reactive CPV was uncommon. Rates of affective CPV were similar across types. Analysis of variance demonstrated that high- and low-proactive dyads significantly differed across intervention-relevant parent, child, and dyadic factors.

Conclusion

High-proactive dyads exhibited role reversal and spousification (i.e., parental conflict spill-over) in which caregivers were helpless, frightened, and frightening, and the young person possessed domineering traits. Low-proactive dyads were characterized by a comparatively in-control caregiver who exhibited intrusiveness and higher supervision and a young person who was comparatively less domineering.

Implications

Different types of dyads experiencing CPV may have unique intervention needs.

并非所有儿童对父母的暴力行为都是一样的：利用攻击功能进行基于人的分析

本研究包括 252 名年龄在 27 岁至 78 岁之间的参与者（中位数 = 45.92，标准差 = 8.33）、本研究包括 252 名年龄在 27 至 78 岁之间的参与者（中位数 = 45.92，标准差 = 8.33；96% 为女性），他们都是 5 至 24 岁青少年（中位数 = 13.18，标准差 = 4.86）的照顾者，并完成了一项在线调查，测量 CPV 的形式和功能，以及一系列儿童、父母和双亲因素。潜在特征分析显示出两种不同类型的组合：高主动性组合报告了严重、高反应性和主动性 CPV，而低主动性组合则很少报告主动性 CPV，反应性 CPV 也不常见。不同类型的情感 CPV 发生率相似。方差分析显示，高主动性和低主动性组合在与干预相关的父母、儿童和组合因素方面存在显著差异。高主动性组合表现出角色逆转和配偶化（即父母冲突外溢），在这种情况下，照顾者感到无助、恐惧和害怕，而年轻人则具有专横跋扈的特质。低主动性组合的特点是照顾者相对处于控制状态，表现出侵入性和较高的监督性，而年轻人则相对不那么专横。
