Abstract
Violence against parents by adult children is the abuse of physical, psychological, social, or economic power committed by a grown-up child against his/her parent or foster parent with the intention of achieving a specific goal such as control, subordination, economic gains, or internal satisfaction. It encompasses physical, psychological, sexual, and financial violence, neglect, and property crime. This paper aims to systematically review the literature on violence against parents by adult children. With the use of a range of keywords, the databases Web of Science, SAGE, SpringerLink, Taylor and Francis online, PubMed, EBSCOhost, JSTOR, ProQuest Ebook Central, PsycInfo, Routledge, and Science Direct were reviewed according to the PRISMA Statement. A review of the literature by key authors and contributions using the snowball method followed. The inclusion criteria were empirical journal papers and books published in English between 1990 and 2023 that address violence against parents by adult children. Exclusion criteria included reviews, commentaries, abstracts, and any publications that address the subject topic in a language other than English. The searches returned 39 relevant contributions. Four common themes emerged across the field: the prevalence and characteristics of violence against parents by adult children, parents' responses and experiences of violence by adult children, social perceptions of (older) parent abuse, and consequences and prevention of violence against parents by adult children. Findings of the literature review show that violence against parents is an under-researched phenomenon and points to the need for further research, including the prevention, detection, consequences, and treatment of such violence.
成年子女对父母的暴力行为是指成年子女对其父母或养父母实施的身体、心理、社会或经济权力的滥用,其目的是达到控制、从属、经济收益或内心满足等特定目标。它包括身体暴力、心理暴力、性暴力、经济暴力、忽视和财产犯罪。本文旨在系统回顾有关成年子女对父母施暴的文献。根据 PRISMA 声明,使用一系列关键词对 Web of Science、SAGE、SpringerLink、Taylor and Francis online、PubMed、EBSCOhost、JSTOR、ProQuest Ebook Central、PsycInfo、Routledge 和 Science Direct 等数据库进行了综述。随后,采用 "滚雪球 "法对主要作者和投稿文献进行了审查。纳入标准为 1990 年至 2023 年间发表的有关成年子女对父母施暴的实证性英文期刊论文和书籍。排除标准包括综述、评论、摘要以及任何以英语以外的语言论述该主题的出版物。搜索结果返回了 39 篇相关文章。该领域出现了四个共同的主题:成年子女对父母施暴的普遍性和特点、父母对成年子女施暴的反应和经历、社会对(老年)父母虐待的看法以及成年子女对父母施暴的后果和预防。文献综述的结果表明,对父母的暴力行为是一种研究不足的现象,并指出有必要开展进一步的研究,包括此类暴力行为的预防、发现、后果和治疗。
